For about 8 months, Liu Feng was arguably the best boyfriend in China—until his then comatose girlfriend woke up and revealed that her devoted caretaker and lover was the one who knocked her out in the first place.
“This is the girl I am going to stay with and look after for the rest of my life. I will feel happy and blessed just to push her around in a wheelchair,” said Liu Feng, a 25-year-old native of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, in 2014, according to the semi-official news outlet Southern China Web.
Liu had made headlines for attentively caring for his 22-year-old girlfriend Lin Yingying, who had slipped into a coma after supposedly taking a bad fall at the bakery they ran together. The incident, which happened on Sept. 21, 2014, left Lin with acute severe traumatic brain injury, cerebral contusions and lacerations. Lin had to undergo two brain surgeries and was hospitalized for more than 100 days.
