A poignant photograph of an elderly Chinese couple, married for nearly seventy years, has captured hearts worldwide. The image shows them holding hands in the intensive care unit, evoking deep emotions among millions.
The touching moment was shared by Wang Yanfang, the head nurse at the intensive care unit of Yinzhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province, eastern China.
Feng Ming, 92, was admitted to the ICU due to heart failure. Unfortunately, his health worsened, leading to multiple organ failures and a lung infection. He became unable to communicate and was placed on life support.
Understanding that time was running out, his family decided to discontinue treatment and bring him home. However, Feng had one last wish: to see his beloved wife, Zhang Ping, who is 95 years old and recovering from a fractured femur in a different part of the hospital.
Wang, the head nurse, explained: “Typically, visiting hours in the ICU are from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM, but given Feng’s critical condition, we couldn’t wait”. She arranged for the couple to meet, fearing it could be their final goodbye.
With Wang’s assistance, Zhang was transported on a stretcher from the 14th floor to the ICU on the third floor. When they finally reunited, Zhang took Feng’s hand and reassured him in their native dialect, saying: “Don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of myself”.
Feng was moved to tears by her words and, just hours later, he passed away peacefully at home. Reflecting on the emotional encounter, Wang expressed her gratitude for being able to facilitate this last meeting, emphasizing its significance.
This heart-wrenching story serves as a reminder of the enduring love that Feng and Zhang shared through their many years together, exemplifying true love even in their final moments.
Beyoncé stuns in a new campaign, where she poses in just her underwear, making a bold and eye-catching statement.
Beyoncé is all about paying homage to American classics, and she’s putting her own spin on a commercial from 1985 in her Levis.
The music icon Beyoncé, 43, is the star of a new Levi’s jeans ad, recreating a famous commercial from 1985 called “Launderette.” In the original ad, model Nick Kamen walks into a laundromat, strips down to his white boxers, and throws his Levi’s jeans into the washing machine while people stare.
In Beyoncé’s version, she walks into a laundromat wearing a blue denim cowboy hat, a white T-shirt, and tight-fitting jeans. Instead of water, she throws a bucket of diamonds into the machine and takes off her jeans, revealing white boxer briefs, while others watch.
The commercial is full of Beyoncé’s signature style and is set to her song “LEVII’S JEANS” featuring Post Malone from her 2024 album Cowboy Carter.
Fans were quick to share their excitement about the new ad, with comments like, “I’m analyzing every detail for clues about act three and hidden surprises,” and “THE DIAMONDS AS WATER!” Another fan said, “Now I want a pair of diamond-washed Levi’s.”
The ad is part of a new campaign called “REIIMAGINE,” where Beyoncé will appear in more commercials and different kinds of ads for Levi’s.
In a press release on Monday, September 30, Beyoncé said, “My song ‘LEVII’S JEANS’ celebrates what I see as the ultimate American outfit — something we all proudly wear.”
“I’m proud to work with Levi’s to create classic American imagery. Denim on denim is usually thought of in a more male way, so this campaign, which focuses on the strong female perspective, means a lot to me.”
“I’m excited to find new ways for our ideas to come together, empowering women and celebrating their strength.”
Kenny Mitchell, the global Chief Marketing Officer of Levi’s, said, “Levi’s has always been the unofficial uniform for people striving for better. A big part of that is constantly changing and creating new cultural trends.”
“With Beyoncé, we are exploring the idea of reimagination through this campaign. It helps us connect with our fans in fresh ways and supports the growth of our women’s line as the leading denim lifestyle brand.”
The release explains that the campaign is “inspired by Levi’s long history and the innovative ideas of one of the most important people in modern culture. It shows that the brand remains a key part of culture today.”
