Gallant husband

Former Taiwan vice-president Lien Chan manages to stop his wife Lien Fang Yu from falling as they exit the plane on arrival in Zhengzhou, in central China's Henan province, on Monday.

Mr Lien is in China to attend a forum jointly sponsored by the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and its mainland Chinese counterparts. He will also attend a worship ceremony at the hometown of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Han Chinese, at the invitation of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
