Lee and Xiu were happily enjoying their retirement until, one day, Lee suddenly collapsed and was rushed to hospital. Xiu thought she’d just broken a few bones and would quickly recover, but in fact his wife was very sick and needed to live in a rest home. Xiu didn’t know how he was going to manage.
