A Chinese man has shared heart-breaking images that show his grandfather's life before and after the man's wife of 60 years passed away.

The 99 year old elderly man, from the city of Chengdu, was first seen enjoying a variety of activities with his wife, who was 10 years younger than him, in a set of black-and-white pictures. He then appeared leading a lonely life in 2016, one year after his wife died.

The tear-jerking pictures images were shared by a user on the People's Daily Online forum and has now gone viral.

The couple fell in love with each other and got married in the autumn of 1955. In the summer of 2015, their diamond marriage of 60 years was cut off by illness. Grandpa bid farewell to grandma in tears, the user wrote.

    Grandma was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and was slowly beginning to lose her memory.

    Her memory became worse, and her mind was not clear. She would often call family members by the wrong name and on some occasions would forget who people were.

    'But she never forgot about the person who had been by her side for all her life. She never forgot who he was.'

 The black-and-white pictures were taken on May 20 in 2012. The latest photos were taken on May 20 this year.
