A 64-year-old villager in Chongqing municipality has not left his paralytic wife alone for more than an hour every week, when he goes to the city to purchase medicines for her.

Just 12 years after their marriage in 1972, Wang Musheng's wife Zhang Fengxian suffered a paralysis attack and has been bed ridden ever since.

Wang, a farmer in Guoyuan village, said he only leaves his wife alone for an hour each week to go to the city for her medicines.
