Man in China remarries ex-wife diagnosed with life-threatening disease, hoping ‘love and commitment’ will save her
- A man in China said he decided to remarry his ex-wife after she was diagnosed with a critical illness just two weeks ago
- A video of the couple driving to a local marriage registration office to remarry before the woman enters hospital for treatment has gone viral
A man in China who remarried his former wife the day before she went to the hospital for emergency treatment of a blood disease has struck a chord with millions on mainland social media.
The unidentified man from Shanghai in eastern China said he decided to remarry his ex-wife, whom he had divorced three years prior, after she was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia two weeks ago.
The couple applied for registration of their second marriage the day before the woman went into the intensive care unit at a local hospital for treatment.
A video of the couple circulating on mainland social media showed the pair driving to a local marriage registration office where they put two wedding portraits on the desk as they lined up to formalise their remarriage.
“Other couples celebrate their marriage with flowers and wine, but the reality for us is bursting out crying and rushing to the hospital for life-saving treatment,” the husband told Sina News.
