Where the flower of love blooms, the power of life can be fully released. In April 2003, Zhu Guangjin, a young soldier, was wounded in the line of duty and was diagnosed with less than five years to live.
At this difficult moment, Zhang Xiutao, a young ** graduate from a medical university, is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating Zhu Guangjin's life. Zhang Xiutao ignored the prejudices of the world, resolutely went to Poyang, thousands of miles away, and supported the paraplegic Zhu Guangjin with firm love.
Her love inspired Zhu Guangjin to have the courage to fight against fate, and it has been 18 years since they not only broke the curse of life, but also welcomed a lively and lovely daughter together.
First Acquaintance: The Tenacity and Tenacity of a Soldier In that hot summer, in July 2002, an energetic girl stepped into the door of the Luquan Military Hospital, she was Zhang Xiutao, a student at Hebei Medical University.
Before graduating, she received a notice from the school to come for an internship, and her first patient was Zhu Guangjin. At that time, Zhu Guangjin was only 24 years old, but he had been lying in the hospital bed for three years.
Zhu Guangjin is a person who loves to study and is active and enterprising in the army, and is deeply loved by his comrades-in-arms and leaders. However, during a military operation, he was unfortunately wounded, suffered a comminuted fracture of his spine, suffered severe damage to his nervous system, and almost lost consciousness from the chest down, and was never able to stand up again.
This accident turned Zhu Guangjin's life upside down, but he did not give up. With the tenacity and tenacity of a soldier, he bravely faced life and overcame many difficulties.
His story allows us to see the selflessness and tenacity of soldiers, and also makes us feel the strength and hope of life.
Your main task is to take care of the soldier with all your might, flushing his bladder and cleaning his abdominal ostomy every day. Hearing this, Zhang Xiutao didn't have any embarrassment, she nodded again and again, but Zhu Guangjin showed discomfort because of her condition.
Zhang Xiutao's eyes flashed with youthful vitality, which made Zhu Guangjin feel a special uneasiness, he was worried that his injury would make this beautiful girl feel frightened, and he was also afraid that his helplessness would make the other party dislike.
However, Zhang Xiutao did not show any negative emotions. She has had a dream of being a soldier to protect her family and defend the country since she was a child, and when she saw Zhu Guangjin's paralysis, her first reaction was not to regret, but to do her best to let the lost hero regain the courage to live.
Every day, Zhang Xiutao will wash Zhu Guangjin's wounds, scrub his body, and massage his muscles in accordance with the requirements of the first chief. In addition, she will often help him get his ears pierced, cut his nails, and even work part-time as a hairdresser for him, taking care of Zhu Guangjin meticulously.
However, despite her good intentions, Zhu Guangjin was very indifferent to her, and never communicated with her more than saying thank you to her.
Zhang Xiutao did not feel frustrated by this, but deeply understood Zhu Guangjin's predicament. She spontaneously bought some books on psychology to study how to take care of the mental state of paralyzed patients, and asked the doctor at the unit for advice when she didn't understand something.
She often talks with Zhu Guangjin with enthusiasm, sharing interesting stories in life and gossip about the hospital, and no matter how tired Zhu Guangjin is, she persistently "harasses" him and brings color to Zhu Guangjin's monotonous life.
After more than half a year of hospital internship, Zhang Xiutao's meticulous care made Zhu Guangjin gradually open his heart, and whenever he was depressed, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Xiutao.
In this way, a peculiar affection arose between two young people of similar age. However, Zhu Guangjin believes that he is not worthy of Zhang Xiutao, who is lively, stable and excellent at work, so he has been suppressing his emotions.
In April 2003, the SARS epidemic broke out suddenly, and infected people appeared in many places in Hebei Province, and the hospital urgently entered a state of alert. In order to ensure the safety of students, Luquan Military Hospital requires all intern medical staff to return to school for isolation as soon as possible.
Zhang Xiutao tried her best to apply to stay and help, but the hospital did not agree and had no choice but to leave. After leaving, Zhu Guangjin was depressed, and his condition deteriorated every day after changing his caregivers, and he was very resistant to **.
Soon after, Zhu Guangjin developed symptoms of urinary tract infection and hematuria, and after a doctor's consultation, he pessimistically believed that he would only live for five years at most.
Although Zhang Xiutao is outside Luquan City, her heart is always worried about Zhu Guangjin's body. In order to get the latest information about Zhu Guangjin, she often contacted her colleagues in the military hospital.
After hearing the bad news of the "five-year period", she was so grief-stricken that she couldn't stop crying. She deeply felt that the reason for the early death of most high paraplegic patients was due to the emergence of complications such as bedsores and urinary tract infections, and if Zhu Guangjin was not well cared for, his body would only deteriorate faster, and his life would be shortened again and again.
That night, she sat quietly under the lamp in the dormitory, holding a letter in her hand, and between the lines was her concern and encouragement for Zhu Guangjin. She told Zhu Guangjin that no matter what difficulties he encountered, she would be by his side, always support him, and never give up on him.
The moving language of this letter deeply touched Zhu Guangjin and restored him to calm down from his predicament. In July 2003, when the SARS epidemic ended, Zhang Xiutao successfully graduated and immediately went to Luquan Military Hospital to visit Zhu Guangjin.
That day coincided with Zhu Guangjin's 25th birthday, and Zhang Xiutao pushed open the door of the ward with a bouquet of lilies in her hand. Seeing the girl in front of him, Zhu Guangjin showed a long-lost smile, and Zhang Xiutao couldn't help but have tears in her eyes when she saw Zhu Guangjin's face tortured by illness.
They hugged each other tightly, telling their thoughts after separation, and at this moment, they both broke through the defense line in their hearts.
In order to take better care of her lover, Zhang Xiutao chose to work in Luquan City. Because the military hospital doesn't recruit, she gets a job at a nearby restaurant, not minding the salary and prospects.
Every day after work, she will bring some nutritious meals to the hospital and take care of Zhu Guangjin like she used to do, although life is hard, she enjoys it. Zhu Guangjin's parents were both moved and guilty when they saw this excellent girl's selfless dedication to their paralyzed son.
And Zhu Guangjin was enjoying this love, but he also felt uneasy, because he felt that it might delay Zhang Xiutao's future. At the end of 2003, after discussing with his parents, Zhu Guangjin decided to return to his hometown of Poyang, Jiangxi Province for *** hospital, and the hospital also agreed to their request.
Zhu Guangjin proposed to Zhang Xiutao to cut off contact, although she knew that Zhu Guangjin had her in her heart and cried and wanted to go to Poyang with him, Zhu Guangjin still insisted on his decision and let Zhang Xiutao leave alone.
Zhu Guangjin's parents were also moved to tears, and Zhu Guangjin's mother said to Zhang Xiutao: "Our whole family is deeply grateful for your kindness to Ah Jin, but we can't let you delay your future because of Ah Jin."
If you work hard and marry a good family in the future, we will feel at ease, and Ah Jin will bless you. On the day she left, Zhang Xiutao sent them on the train with tears in her eyes, and her heart ached unbearably when she watched the green car go away, and she didn't stop until the train disappeared from sight.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xiutao to find a job in her hometown hospital, and her life gradually settled down.
Although they were suffering deeply in their hearts, Zhang Xiutao's concern for Zhu Guangjin's physical condition made her thinner and thinner, and her parents were anxious about it. At the same time, Zhu Guangjin's life in Poyang was also full of hardships, losing Zhang Xiutao's company, his mood became increasingly depressed, and his elderly parents could no longer take care of him as before.
However, this deeply painful love finally breaks the limitations of time and space. One day, they began to pour out their inner anguish to each other through the Hongyan Legend. Each letter was a dozen pages long, and they passed more than 200 letters to each other in less than a year, and those thick pieces of paper were filled with their deep love.
One day in October 2004, Zhang Xiutao received a letter from Zhu Guangjin, in which she mentioned that her sister had been pregnant for many months, but in order to take care of him, she had to run to her parents' house every day, and her parents could not rest when they were sick.
There were a few distinct water marks on the crooked handwriting, and there was a hint of suicidal thoughts between the words. Zhang Xiutao's heart tightened, and after thinking for a long time, she made a major decision - to go to Poyang.
Although all parents who love their children don't want their daughters to serve a paralyzed man for the rest of their lives, Zhang Xiutao still chose him.
Zhang Xiutao firmly showed her determination to her parents, although she was met with fierce opposition, and even the whole family tried to persuade her to dismiss her thoughts. However, Zhang Xiutao's determination did not waver, she told her parents: "Although Zhu Guangjin is paralyzed in bed, he is for the country and the people, if we don't even respect these wounded soldiers, who else is willing to sacrifice and dedicate?" ”
Zhang Xiutao's firmness and admiration for the soldiers finally moved her parents. In November 2004, Zhang Xiutao took her simple luggage and went to Zhujiaqiao Village in Poyang, Jiangxi Province, thousands of miles away, where she was greeted by Zhu Guangjin in a wheelchair and her mother's surprised and happy voice.
In the twilight, Zhang Xiutao appeared at the door with a flushed face, and she walked firmly towards her lover.
Ten months apart, the two hearts hurt because of longing. When they were reunited, they were so excited that they couldn't speak, and they only hugged each other tightly. Tears rolled in their eyes, telling endless thoughts.
Zhang Xiutao whispered in Zhu Guangjin's ear: "Don't drive me away, let me accompany you forever." The parents of the Zhu family were moved by their affection and no longer stood in the way. They regarded Zhang Xiutao as their own daughter, and even used all their savings to build a new house as a new home for their young couple.
After getting married, Zhang Xiutao did everything herself, cooked nutritious meals for Zhu Guangjin, accompanied him to do ** training, and even in order to help him delay muscle atrophy and promote the repair of the nervous system, she also specially found an old Chinese medicine doctor to learn acupuncture and massage.
Zhang Xiutao's love for her husband touched everyone. Although her husband weighs 150 pounds and she is not a strong woman, on a sunny day, she will always carefully carry him to the wheelchair and push him to bask in the sun.
Her arms may be small, but her love is incomparably great. Once, while dragging her husband, she accidentally fell and broke her arm on the spot, but she did not stop, but insisted on settling her husband before going to the hospital alone for examination.
Zhang Xiutao's dedication and persistence let everyone see their deep feelings. Some people praised them for being stronger than Jin, and some people ridiculed her for marrying a paralyzed person who could only spend her life in the countryside.
But Zhang Xiutao never responded to these remarks, just lived her life silently. She has a knot in her heart, and that is a marriage certificate. In rural customs, as long as there is a banquet, you can be counted as a husband and wife.
But for Zhang Xiutao, who is highly educated, she believes that she must obtain a marriage certificate in order to truly confirm their relationship. Zhang Xiutao's love story allows us to see the power of true love.
Her tenacity and perseverance make us believe that as long as there is love, no matter how difficult life is, we can find an outlet for happiness. And her persistence and hard work also make us understand that everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness and realize their dreams.
The two have been in love for five years and have never gone through the marriage formalities. In 2009, Zhang Xiutao finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked her husband why he didn't get the certificate. Zhu Guangjin lowered his head deeply, but silently adhered to the expert's diagnosis in his heart, afraid that after his death, Zhang Xiutao would be despised for her second marriage.
However, seeing his wife's sad appearance, Zhu Guangjin was also very painful in his heart. On New Year's Day 2009, with the blessing of relatives and friends, they finally mustered up the courage and decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage certificate together.
However, due to inconvenient transportation and long distances, Zhang Xiutao's parents did not attend their wedding. In order to take care of her husband, Zhang Xiutao has not been home to visit her parents for five years.
Despite the odds, they finally took this step and drew a perfect end to their love.
At the beginning of 2011, Zhu Guangjin and his wife ushered in the crystallization of their love, and Zhang Xiutao successfully gave birth to a lovely daughter. Although he once thought that he might die young, now that he has children, Zhu Guangjin is full of hope for the future, and he vows: "For the sake of my wife and children, I will live for 50 years and accompany them to the end of their lives." ”
However, just when they were immersed in the joy of a new life, the Zhang family's parents in Hebei suffered misfortune. Before the Spring Festival in 2012, Zhang Xiutao's mother had a sudden cerebral infarction and fell into a deep coma.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and Zhang Xiutao can finally go home, but what she sees is her mother's body. She couldn't suppress the pain in her heart, lay on the hospital bed and cried bitterly, and shouted hoarsely: "Mom, your kindness to me in this life, Xiu Tao will definitely repay it well in the next life." ”
Zhang Xiutao struggled with self-blame for her unfilial piety in the pain of her mother's death. However, for the sake of Poyang's family, she chose to be strong. After the local civil affairs department learned of her deeds, they arranged a job for her at the Poyang Town Health Center.
Zhang Xiutao treats patients with kindness and does an excellent job, and now she has become the person in charge of the health center. In 2017, Zhang Xiutao advocated the establishment of the Taoxinyuan Volunteer Service Team, and she turned her personal love into great love, and worked with volunteers to help more paralyzed people get out of the haze and regain their confidence in life.
The love story of Zhu Guangjin and his wife touched the masses, and Zhang Xiutao was named a national model of patriotism and support for the army, and was received by leaders in the Great Hall of the People.
Zhang Xiutao and her family were selected as the most beautiful families in the country, and they were also rated as national civilized families. The couple has been through 18 years of ups and downs together, breaking the prophecies of experts, and their love and persistence are touching.
In the future, they will go further and be happier. Their story is full of love and miracles, and is a model of good deeds in Hebei.
