Paralyzed man from Hebei marries Malaysian woman, Cyber Love comes full circle...
Last year in August 8, Li Kangyu, a 38 years old man from Hebei Tangshan, held a wedding ceremony with Yan Shuying from Malaysia and tied the knot as husband and wife. Due to the Rheumatoid Arthritis at a very young age, Kangyu has lied in bed for 31 years. Despite joint Necrosis, Ankylosis, and Muscular atrophy, his optimistic attitude infected Yan Shuying, who lives far away in Malaysia. After two years of Online dating, they decided to get married. Family members from both sides, who were once opposed to their marriage, were moved by their insistence. In China, Li Kangyu’s only income is the low government subsidy of 2,300 yuan per year, but Yan Shuying claims she’s prepared to share the joys and sorrows of life with Li Kangyu together. Living in Kuala Lumpur, Yan Shuying says she has always longed for country life and now has had her wish fulfilled.

Li Kangyu particularly likes the instant noodles Yan Shuying brings from Malaysia. Though he loves noodles, he rarely ate such in the past because he couldn't take care of himself and eat the noodles on his own.

On August 5th, at Tangshan city Hebei Province, Li Kangyu and Yan Shuying showed off their sweet marriage certificate.

When speaking of how their love came to be, warm tears ran down Li Kangyu’s cheeks. According to Yan Shuying: “Apart from the physical illness, Li Kangyu is better than many other people. Though he has never attended school, he knows a lot about history, geography, current affairs, etc. And he is very smart. He is very earnest and brave towards life, and the physical disability makes him even more positive. I'm very moved. He can be my guide, walking with me on the road of life.”

Yan Shuying says she’s very happy being with Li Kangyu and hopes that she can look after him her whole life.
