After Fu Jun fell into a 70-day vegetative state following a car accident, her boyfriend refused to leave her bedside until she woke up. So, people were shocked when she refused a marriage proposal from him.

Chen Ben quit his job so that he could sit by her bedside, singing to her and telling her stories as she lay unconscious. When she finally woke, Chen Ben and his mother were wild with joy.

“It was really a surprise to me that she restored consciousness and spoke to me,” said Chen Ben as he oddly groomed his girlfriend during an interview on Wednesday.

However, Chen was surprised by Fu’s lack of joy when she initially woke. He recalled that she pummeled her head and legs, crying out, “why did you save me?”

“He and his parents treat me so well. I remember the kindness they extend but have never thought of marriage because I’m afraid I would bring much trouble to their lives.” she told a journalist from NEN.com.
