Meet Xu Yuling and Du Xiongsan—a couple in China’s Hubei province whose love story became a symbol of resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Xu, a respiratory doctor at Enshi Central Hospital, worked 16-hour shifts treating patients, her husband Du kept the lights on—literally—as an engineer at Enshi Banqiao Wind Farm.
Separated for months during the outbreak’s peak, they became real-life superheroes on parallel fronts: saving lives and sustaining critical infrastructure. 'We video-called whenever possible,' Xu shared. 'Seeing his face reminded me why we fight.'
Their three-year-old daughter stayed with grandparents, creating a family triangle held together by hope. While the virus tested their resolve, Du told us: 'Love isn’t canceled—it’s amplified through sacrifice.'
As restrictions eased, their reunion went viral locally, proving that even in darkness, human connection shines brightest. TL;DR: Sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t about being together—they’re about staying strong when you’re apart.
