"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. This old proverb seems to have been misunderstood by the world. The author of the second chapter of "Feng Yulan" may have been regarded as not understanding the meaning of love and love, but in fact, such stories are everywhere in life.
It was only years after the author's death that people realized the profound meaning of this proverb. The experience of a farmer in Rongshui County, Guangxi Province, is the best interpretation of this proverb.
He used to be a handsome descendant of ten miles and eight towns, married a wife like a flower and jade, and had a lovely daughter. However, a strange illness came and completely changed Pan Jianqiang's life.
Strange sores began to grow on his hands and feet, and his joints were swollen thicker than his neck. He was once industrious and capable, but he lost all his ability to work overnight and became a burden to his family.
While Pan Jianqiang was asleep, his wife quietly left with her daughter. Mr. Poon, who has spent 23 years searching for them, said he would keep looking for them as long as he was alive.
In the past, Pan Jianqiang's life was full of happiness and hope, his family managed a hilltop cedar forest, a herd of fat pigs, and a new house had just been built. His handsome appearance and strong body made him a high-profile figure in the village, and many old men were willing to marry their daughters to him.
However, Pan has always regretted that he did not receive an education, and he envied those who had attended high school to be able to work in the city. Although his situation was not unique among rural youth, he was convinced that the people who were really influential in the village should be those who stayed.
Pan Jianqiang met him at first sight when he was in his twenties, and her family had long wanted to ask someone to tell the Pan family about matchmaking, but they didn't dare to mention it because the competition was too big. The two parties hit it off, and the wedding was lively.
He said that the first few years of his marriage were the happiest moments of his life, with a virtuous wife and endless rice fields, and he enjoyed the peaceful rural life at sunrise and sunset.
The fire of life is burning, and the birth of the youngest daughter adds wood to this fire. Although the village was patriarchal, and some people who were jealous of his life spread sour words, Pan Jianqiang and his wife did not care.
The daughter's big eyes are as bright as her mother's, and the bridge of her nose has some shadows of the Pan family. Fortune teller predicts that this little girl will be a leading figure in the future. Her family regards her as a pearl in their palms and loves her very much.
Anqi Township is a predominantly agricultural town, with residents growing rice and raising pigs and sheep for a living, while some wealthy families run by-industries such as timber and camellia. Pan Jianqiang's family runs various industries and has a very high quality of life.
In an era when mechanization was not yet widespread, manpower was the most valuable resource for production. Pan Jianqiang is energetic and often works in the fields all day without feeling tired. He firmly believes that hard work pays off, and his hard work makes the family's granary always full.
A calm and peaceful life is always satisfying, and for Pan Jianqiang, stability and happiness are his goals. However, overnight, he was stricken with a strange illness that turned it all beyond recognition, and the pain invaded like an endless abyss, leaving him in the depths of which he could not extricate himself.
At first, it was just a slight itching, and he didn't pay attention to it, but as time went on, the condition gradually worsened, and he was in agony. Although his wife reminded him to go to the health clinic to get medicine, he was reluctant to spend it because he was worried about the money.
This illness completely changed the fate of the Pan family, and also plunged him into deep pain.
Pan Jianqiang, a hardworking and simple farmer in China, is reluctant to worry his family despite his unbearable illness. He insisted on working in the fields, and in order to earn money for his daughter's tuition, the intensity of labor increased.
However, his illness did not get in time**, and the tingling and itching intensified when it rained and winded, and even the pain was unbearable. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly found a doctor to get medicine.
However, the brand medicine of the health center was very expensive, and he was distressed about the cost, so he chose to look for an old man in the village. Although this old man has some medical knowledge, he is not professional for Pan Jianqiang's serious illness.
If Pan Jianqiang had listened to his wife's advice and sought medical attention in time, the situation might have been different.
Pan Jianqiang firmly believed that the "secret medicine" made of tiger bone powder prescribed to him by Lao Langzhong could ** his illness and went home full of hope. However, he did not expect that endless disappointment and pain awaited him.
When parting, he did not expect to get the blessing of the old man, but only got his farewell.
Under the pressure of life, Pan Jianqiang fell into a vicious circle of hard work and good health. However, the real way out is not endless exertion, but proper rest and recuperation.
However, the family's financial needs and dependence on labor made it impossible for him to stop his work. The symptoms of the disease gradually worsen, the joints swelled, and pain replaced the initial tingling.
On a scorching afternoon, he fainted in his rice field due to physical exhaustion, and his neighbors rescued him in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Although he accepted everyone's advice, Pan Jianqiang said with a smile: "After this season's harvest, I won't fight like this anymore." ”
However, for the sake of his family's livelihood, he overdrew his health day after day, year after year, until his health was completely exhausted.
In his daily life, Pan Jianqiang always habitually puts a plaster on before going to bed. However, last night's plaster didn't seem to help him much, instead leaving him in pain in the middle of the night and unable to sleep.
The next morning, he found himself completely unable to move, either by propping up his body on his arms or by trying to lift himself on his legs. His struggles left bottles and cans scattered on the bedside table, alarming his wife, who was cooking.
After his wife's efforts, he was finally placed in bed. His wife invited Lao Langzhong, who often saw him, but the other party shook his head helplessly and left. In the end, Pan Jianqiang decided to let his wife pay for a doctor from the health center to see him.
After a thorough examination, the results given by the doctor were not optimistic.
Pan was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic joint disease with complex causes, often associated with overwork and moisture damage. As a man who worked around the clock, it was not uncommon for him to suffer from this disease.
However, to the shock of the doctor at the health center, Pan Jianqiang's condition had deteriorated for more than half a year, and normal people could not tolerate such pain, but he kept delaying**.
In order to save money to support his family, Pan Jianqiang disregarded his own health and unfortunately missed the best period. The doctor prescribed him medicine, then left in a hurry, and warned him that he could no longer do physical labor, otherwise even the gods would not be able to ** this disease.
Pan Jianqiang was so tormented by pain that he could no longer perform physical work, and it took two months of bed rest for his limbs to improve.
Pan Jianqiang's life is full of hardships, and he is born to work hard. Even if he can get out of bed, he will immediately pick up his hoe and return to the mud of the rice field. Although hard work can change fate, it cannot defeat disease.
This time, Pan Jianqiang lost completely. He developed a strange sore on his hands and feet, which swelled like carrots at first, then suddenly festered and bleeding foul-smelling pus and blood.
The ruptured sores damaged the bones and **, and without plastic surgery, his appearance would not have been restored. In addition to the strange sores, he had a persistent low-grade fever.
Pan tried various Chinese and Western medicines, but could not reduce the fever. Luckily, he was in good physical condition before, so this lingering fever did not take his life.
However, by the time he regained his temperature, he was too weak to even hold a hoe. His illness had drained all of the Pan family's savings, and he had lost his ability to work.
In order to cure his illness, he had to sell his property and even go into debt. The huge medical bills are like a bottomless abyss that cannot be filled by any amount of money, and it is an irreparable loss for this crumbling family.
