China husband endures daily 320km round-trip commute to work ‘for love’ of wife

A newly married Chinese man is so devoted to his wife that he commutes to work for at least six hours every day in a 320km round-trip.

Douyin videos posted by 31-year-old Lin Shu recap his daily journey that he calls “the longest commute distance”.

Lin wakes up at 5am and leaves his home in Weifang, Shandong province in eastern China at 5.20am.

He rides an e-bike for 30 minutes to the station to catch a train at 6.15am, arriving in Qingdao in the eastern part of Shandong at 7.46am, and finally takes a 15-minute underground subway trip to his office.

He has enough time for breakfast in his company’s canteen before starting work at 9am.

After work, it takes Lin another three or four hours to travel home, which is 160km away from his work.
