  1. Husband Cooks Wife a Year of Dinners- Yin Yunfeng is a 27-year-old in the Chinese army. He is currently stationed in Tibet, and he only gets to see his wife, Zhao Mai, once a year. The last time he was home he noticed his wife was busy and does not have a lot of time to cook and do other things for herself. Yin did not like that.
