However, the tables have since turned for the couple, with both now successfully running a business in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province.
Recalling the past, Wen expressed immense gratitude towards his wife for her unwavering support during their tough times
"In the past, we had nothing. My wife has not abandoned me over all these years and she's always been with me through various difficulties together. Whatever happened, she would always support me," reminisced Wen.
Wen also shared that he felt compelled to give her a proper wedding ceremony as a way of appreciating his wife's sacrifices.
"I often said to my wife that when I am rich enough, I will give you a perfect wedding and invite all our relatives and friends to witness our happiness," he added.
Wen's promise came to fruition as the couple finally celebrated their union in their hometown village in the suburbs of Changsha on 17 October
Relatives and friends of the couple were seen taking part in their celebration with some playing the drums to add a celebratory vibe, reported South China Morning Post.
