Growing old together: Touching scenes of elderly couples

Wang Lijin, 96, and Huang Shaozhen, 84, got married in 1951. Since then they have lived a happy and long life regardless of their age gap of 12 years.

The couple attracted public attention with photos showing them trying to win toys in a claw machine. Huang stood alongside Wang to wait for the prize, and she shook the dolls in her hand and said to onlookers with a smile: "My husband is really good."

Huang has sewn all of Wang's clothes. He said, "You have made so many clothes for me. I wear one piece a year. Maybe I will be gone before I can wear all the clothes!"

Huang always smiles and says, "My dear, please do remember - you are not allowed to go away before you wear all the clothes!"
