In 1985, Huang Funeng suffered a serious eye disease which gradually made him totally blind. Since then, his loving wife has guided his every move, leading him through life with a bamboo rod, in spite of her own physical affliction, osteoporosis, which causes her hunched posture.

The couple never had children, but managed to still find joy in each other's company for 55 years as they lived a simple existence farming chickens and ducks.
