Her husband, Chen Shaojun, was unable to move due to illness. For three years, his wife, Chen Dequn, has supported the family with her calloused hands. The truth of sharing weal and woe was spread in the central village of Dingxin Township, Dafang County.

Since her husband was paralyzed, the family has been living in a tight corner, but the couple who share weal and woe always believe that they can create a better life with their own hands.

When we came to Liu Dequn's house, there was a smell of Chinese medicine in the house, and Liu Dequn was sitting by the fire cooking medicine. Chen Shaojun sits in a wheelchair and quietly listens to Liu Dequn talking with him. Even though he is tortured by illness, Chen Shaojun's eyes are full of happiness.

Speaking of his wife, Chen Shaojun choked up. I remember when I was in the hospital for an operation, the weather was cold. Although I was covered with quilts, I felt the soles of my feet were always cold, and I felt vaguely like a stove in my sleep. When I woke up the next day, I learned from my roommate that my wife had warmed my feet with her chest all night. "For several years, she hasn't had a good sleep every night in order to roll my body, and I owe her too much!" Chen Shaojun said.

In January 2019, Chen Shaojun went out to work as usual. About an hour later, Liu Dequn received the news that her husband had fallen. When she arrived at the scene of the accident at a loss, her husband was in a deep coma. With the help of neighbors, relatives and friends, Liu Dequn rushed her husband to the hospital for first aid. After being hospitalized for more than 20 days, he recovered his life. However, due to serious brain injury and waist frustration, he was paralyzed and could not take care of himself while eating, drinking, and pulling.

Two daughters are married, and the son is still in military service. After taking care of his father and leaving the hospital, Liu Dequn "drove" the children away, thinking that they had their own affairs. He carried the burden of the family on his own shoulders.

At seven o'clock every morning, Liu Dequn went out to work after he served his husband a good breakfast. At noon, I came back to feed pigs and chickens, boil medicine for my husband, take care of him after dinner, and then go out to work. When I came back at dusk, I wheeled my husband around in front of and behind the house to breathe fresh air. In the evening, every two hours, I have to get up to turn over and feed water for my husband.

Sometimes when her husband is agitated and agitated, she patiently persuades him... Liu Dequn is like a clock with enough clockwork, turning back and forth.

Day after day, Liu Dequn's careful care of her husband was seen by everyone.

When asked whether her husband is her burden, Liu Dequn said without hesitation: "As long as he eats well and lives well, it is my greatest satisfaction and happiness. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little!" Liu Dequn said.

Now, knowing that her husband's paralysis is a fact, Liu Dequn still refuses to give up and insists on protecting her husband's walking practice in order to make him stand up again. The purpose is to hope that through the diagnosis and treatment of senior experts, the husband can recover one day. "Home is complete when the wife is here! As long as the husband's illness can be improved, I don't care how hard or tired he is!" Liu Dequn said.

Local villagers know that Liu Dequn takes care of his husband carefully. When it comes to this, everyone will say: "Chen Shaojun has found a good wife."
