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.
