After a life of struggles, the elderly man took out wads of money he had saved over the years to buy his wife a diamond ring

An 80-year-old Chinese man spent his entire life’s savings to buy his wife of around 50 years a diamond ring because, quite simply he believed that she has had a “hard life”. After a lifetime of struggle and after decades together, the elderly man wanted to show his gratitude. Oddity Central reports that the staff at the jewelry store in Xinjiang were surprised when approached by the elderly couple.
