People said that the blind Tao Anzhi had a boyfriend who lived off him, spending all day in his rented apartment, eating and drinking on Tao Anzhi's dime and never going to work.
His coworkers all advised him, "You have a hard enough time earning money as a blind man. Don't let someone take advantage of you."
But Tao Anzhi just smiled and explained that his boyfriend was a wonderful person: gentle and considerate, a great cook, and able to handle every kind of housework.
Then one day, Tao Anzhi's boyfriend disappeared.
Tao Anzhi reported it to the police, but after they came to investigate, the matter was quietly dropped.
