We’re all familiar with the vows uttered during wedding ceremonies, “In sickness and in health, until death do us part”. The true test of love comes when our loved ones suffer from life-threatening illnesses.
One man in Thailand touched netizens by shaving his head in solidarity with his girlfriend, who was diagnosed with cancer.
They took turns shaving each other’s heads, and when they shared the intimate moment on TikTok, the video went viral.
The boyfriend shared that he did so to show his girlfriend that he would not leave her and they would fight cancer together.
On 5 Sep, TikToker @armaitthiwat shared a video of him with a shaver in his hand.
After his girlfriend bade her hair farewell, he began shaving her hair off.

As her locks fell to the ground, the woman became increasingly emotional.

Nonetheless, as her boyfriend spoke to her, she forced a smile despite her teary eyes.
The video then switches to the boyfriend sitting down. This time, the woman – with her brand new hairdo – had the shaver in her hand.
She immediately got to work, shaving her boyfriend’s hair right down the middle. The couple shared a lighthearted moment as they laughed at how he looked.

I told her I would never leave her. I will join the fight with her. And I will always love her.
