Old couple lives in the world of their own

A 70-year-old couple has lived an austere life in a cave for 31 years in Huangdan county, Leshan city, Sichuan province, reported leshan.cn on Friday.

The wife, Zhu Mingxiang had six children before she married husband Shen Congfu. She fell in love with Shen Congfu when she was 37, despite his lack of wealth. She married him and moved into the cave where he lived.

There's no electricity, no facilities and food is not sufficient. In this very limited situation, they succeeded in living and having a child of their own.

However, Zhu's six children never visit her since they were strongly against their marriage.

The couple enjoys their life with hope and recently moved out the cave to a house the government supplied.
