They were married for 66 years. In the ultimate expression of love, a terminally-ill 92-year-old man passed away in the arms of his 95-year-old wife.
The man, known by his last name Feng, requested his children and hospital staff that he be able to see his wife before he breathed his last.
Feng, initially, wanted to die at home, but later changed his mind and instead requested to see his wife.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple were patients in the same hospital, but they were in separate rooms. They had not seen each other for more than a month.
The couple was being treated separately because Mr. Feng had heart disease and Mrs. Feng had bone fractures. They received treatment on different floors of the hospital. The touching reunion of the couple saw Mrs. Feng reaching out to hold her husband's hand. Both were bedridden.
She then said to her husband: "'I will take care of myself. After I recover, I will [go home] to find you." A nurse, who was on duty, was moved by the couple's gesture of love and took a photograph of the couple.
The picture went viral on social media. Mr Feng passed away only two hours after seeing his wife. Proving that, in the end, all we need is love.
Mr and Mrs Feng, finally meeting.
(Wang Yengfeng)
