A devoted couple married for 65 years in Zhengzhou, Henan province, died within just nine hours of each other.

Lu Hefa, 88, passed away at about 1 am, while his wife, surnamed Su, 85, followed at 10 pm the same day at their home in Houcang village.

Lu and Su used to live in a harmonious family that included four-generations, with local villagers saying they were very affectionate. It is believed they never even had a minor quarrel.
