And a woman, with mental retardation.
They met, got married despite the objection from both families, and had two kids.
As soon as the kids were born, they were taken away from them because there is no way the couple can raise the kids with their financial situation and the fact that the woman needs special care.
The man lived his life in poverty but he never stopped working hard, and caring the people he treasured. Now that this woman came into his life, it never occurred to him that she is a burden. He brings her to work, take care of her and stand up for her when everybody else despise her.
Well it is not easy. Bringing her to work caused him to lost a few jobs. Taking care of her takes up so much of his energy. And the constant mockery from his close ones is also too overwhelming.
"See how miserable he is!"
"Being a wife is to take care of the family and she couldn't even manage herself."
"Wonder how they get through everyday.."
Yes he has to listen to all these everyday, and yet..
At the end of the day, when people ask who is she, he'd look into her eyes and say, "she's my partner.". She'd smiled and they'd leave holding hands, as if nothing will ever break them apart.
Who are we to say that they are not happy?
