Valentines Day may be long over for 2019 but that doesn’t mean you can’t find other ways to celebrate your significant other.
20th May is considered an unofficial Valentines Day in China due to the pronunciation of ‘520’ in Mandarin, which sounds weirdly similar to the Mandarin term for ‘I Love You’, which is ‘Wo Ai Ni’.
A 97-year-old grandpa took this opportunity to celebrate his long-time love, his 99-year-old wife, in a now viral video. The grandpa can be seen holding a big bouquet full of blue roses with shaky hands as he hands it to his wife. The video continues to show the old couple and their adorable antics, where the grandma can be seen turning the grandpa’s cap around and giving him a huge bear hug from behind.
The antics continue as they share what looks like a chapati.
Their granddaughter has since spoken to the Shanghaiist, saying that the adorable couple are always by each other’s side, and that they don’t have much time left which is why they want to spend time cherishing each other everyday together.
This gives me faith that true love still exists in the world.
