On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1988, Xie Fang was preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival, when the sound of rustling came from the darkness, breaking her tranquility.
She was instantly alert, only to see a dark shadow looming in the cupboard. Xie Fang rushed forward without hesitation, but was attacked by a murderer. The cold file stabbed into her body, and bright red blood flowed out.
Her life seemed to have been paused, but the murderer did not stop there, and stabbed nine more times, almost every one of which did not reach the hilt.
Xie Fang's life once withered as quickly as autumn leaves, but at the last moment, she grabbed the murderer's clothes tightly, bought precious time for **, and became a "heroine" between life and death.
So, what kind of life does this former hero live now?
Xie Fang walked into a restaurant in Jingwanzi for the first time when she was young, only in her early 20s. At first, her simple dress did not attract the attention of the boss, until the proprietress noticed her clear, flawless, dark and bright eyes, and was instantly deeply attracted.
The proprietress was discerning and decisively decided to leave Xie Fang. As it turned out, she made the right decision. Xie Fang is not only quick with her hands and feet, but also warm-hearted, no matter how big or small it is in the hotel, she is always willing to lend a hand and never make excuses to shirk.
Even when there is a dispute in the restaurant, as long as she is present, she can always resolve it skillfully, so that both parties can finish the meal peacefully. The original tense scene, under Xie Fang's gentle words, came back to reason, and the big things turned into small things, and the small things turned into small things.
Despite her young age, Xie Fang plays the role of the backbone in everyone's hearts. Because the proprietress loves Xie Fang, and Xie Fang is similar in age to her own daughter, she takes care of her as her own daughter and often takes care of her.
The proprietress found that Xie Fang had no place to live, so she found a small room for her in the hotel. Every day, after Xie Fang sees off the guests, he can go home and return to his own nest.
Although the boss and the hostess also live in the hotel, they avoid walking around at night because of the suspicion. Although Xie Fang slept alone in her room, she did not feel lonely, but because she had a shelter from the wind and rain, she could sleep peacefully every night.
In this way, Xie Fang spent her first summer in Changsha.
The Spring Festival is approaching, the business of the hotel is in full swing, and Xie Fang is busy. From morning to night, she shuttled between the front desk and the back kitchen, going back and forth nearly a thousand times, but the satisfaction and joy in her heart were indescribable.
Xie Fang happily counted the days, the wax moon.
Ten. Fourth, fifteenth ......In 10 days, I will go home for the New Year. She had already planned to buy a thick jacket for her father, a winter cotton coat for her mother, and some candy and fireworks for her younger siblings.
As night fell, after a busy day, Xie Fang lay down in the quilt contentedly. Soon after, she felt a wave of tiredness hit her, and she gradually fell asleep. However, just as consciousness was about to return, a strange feeling enveloped her, as if danger was looming, dispelling her sleepiness.
At first, the room was quiet, and Xie Fang opened his eyes suspiciously, thinking that it was not yet dawn. However, this tranquility is unusual, like the calm before a storm, which makes people feel nervous.
Xie Fang held his breath and listened intently to the movement in the room. One second, two seconds ......More than a dozen seconds passed, and there was no sound. Xie Fang breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at himself for thinking too much.
However, in the next second, a slight sound came, like a deliberately suppressed footstep, as soon as this voice sounded, Xie Fang's hairs stood up, and she finally understood that the strange feeling just now was because someone was standing on the side of the bed and watching her.
She immediately realized that the restaurant had been burglarized. It may be that someone is jealous of the prosperity of the restaurant and wants to take advantage of the dead of night to rob while it is hot.
Xie Fang curled up tightly in the quilt, his body tense and his heart fearful. The figure in the shadows made it impossible for her to determine the height of the other party or whether there was a murder weapon. But irritated by the pain in her body that she couldn't bear it, she struggled in her heart, and turning over and pretending to sleep might have deceived the thief, but it could also bring more danger to herself.
She's just an ordinary woman, if the other party is burly, how should she deal with it? As she thought about it, her heart boiled, and a carp jumped up from the bed and pounced on the man in the dark.
At the same time, she shouted: "Come on, catch the thief!" The voice was loud and mixed with crying. Her brave actions instantly made the thief who was rummaging through the cabinets a little panicked, but when he heard Xie Fang's crisp female voice, he obviously became more bold.
The moment her hands touched the thief, the other's file had already pierced deep into her chest.
The sharp blade of the blade, mercilessly, plunged into her body like a beast, and the blade sliced through her skin unhindered, and blood immediately gushed out, causing both of them to be stunned in the darkness.
Xie Fang looked down in disbelief, her clothes already soaked with blood and clinging to her chest. And the other party's whole body was also trembling, as if he was both panicked that he had just stabbed someone, and afraid that he would be sentenced.
Although it happened very suddenly, Xie Fang already had a premonition that he might die. Therefore, she decided that she could not let this criminal escape no matter what. She clung to the criminal's clothes and cried out for help, "Come on, come on!"Catch the thief!”
Xie Fang's brave behavior angered the thief, and he was eager to get out, but Xie Fang's fierce resistance made him malicious. The thief held a sharp file and stabbed Xie Fang's thin body mercilessly.
One knife, two knives ......There were nine knives in total, and the murder weapon was covered in blood, so slippery that it was impossible to grasp. Blood dripped on the ground, dripping down Xie Fang's elbows and the corners of his clothes.
Xie Fang's strength gradually ran out, and her voice became weaker and weaker. As she fell to the ground weakly, the silence was finally broken by a siren. Before she was unconscious, she only saw the boss and the proprietress rushing into the house, and the neighbors with mallets and shovels.
When she woke up, Xie Fang's hospital bed was crowded with people who had come to visit her, and they all praised her as a "heroine."
However, the words of the proprietress plunged her into despair, and it turned out that the murderer's sharp knife would not only destroy her nervous system, but also make her unable to walk and speak like a healthy person.
What's even more cruel is that this disability can stay with her for the rest of her life, and modern medicine can't do anything about it.
The proprietress had distress in her eyes and had to apologize. Xie Fang stopped her and said, "You don't have to feel guilty, I rushed up by myself." It was too dark in the house at the time, and I didn't expect him to bring a knife. ”
The proprietress asked her what she planned next, and Xie Fang pondered for a while before replying, "I want to go home." After being rescued, she only felt that it was a miracle that she could survive, and there were not a few ghosts with nine knives in the whole of China.
Let's take a look at the rest of the road.
After more than half a month of the incident, the people in the village knew what happened to the heroine Xie Fang. Although her name had spread throughout the village, she chose to close her doors.
On the one hand, her physical condition is very weak, and although she is only young in her twenties, she is recovering very slowly. Therefore, she chose to stay at home and let her body get enough rest.
On the other hand, she was a little confused about the concern of her family and friends. She doesn't want to be pitied for her injuries, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon for her former competitiveness.
However, when she heard Xie Haihua's name again, she decided to meet the person. Because, he came to the door three times in a month, and although he was blocked back every time, he still insisted on wanting to see her, which made Xie Fang curious and curious.
After Xie Fang saw Xie Haihua, he immediately felt the soul fit between them. His words were neither fast nor slow, but every word was clear and powerful.
Xie Fang was full of admiration and admiration for him, and she believed that if it were him at that time, he would have made the same decision. Now, his wish is to be able to take good care of her.
Xie Fang's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't believe her ears, but Xie Haihua said firmly: "I am deeply touched by your tenacity and bravery, and I have decided to spend the rest of my life taking care of you. ”
Xie Haihua's honesty did not make Xie Fang feel afraid, she couldn't help but ask the question she was most concerned about: "Maybe I will never be able to **, I will become a burden to you and bring endless troubles, will you be willing to marry me?" ”
Xie Haihua didn't answer immediately, he held Xie Fang's hand tightly, "I will protect you like I protect the motherland."
At the wedding of Xie Haihua and Xie Fang, we saw many veterans who had served the motherland, and their solemn and solemn appearances made people feel admired and moved.
They were Xie Haihua's former comrades-in-arms, and after retiring together, they each ran to a different life. However, in order to be Xie Haihua's best man, they got together again. One by one, the ambitious men toasted their sisters-in-law.
Although Xie Fang couldn't drink, she raised her glass to signal, and the toaster raised his head and drank not a single drop, showing pride.
Xie Haihua revealed to her that her comrades-in-arms were deeply moved when they learned of her heroic performance, and they all hoped to pass"A cup dry"to express admiration for her. Hearing this, Xie Fang smiled shyly and reminded everyone to drink slowly and not in a hurry.
After marriage, their life was uneventful, but full of warmth. Xie Fang was sick and bedridden and needed someone to take care of her, Xie Haihua took over this task, from daily scrubbing, turning over, to carrying her to the toilet, he did it himself.
Sometimes, when his wife is depressed, he will hold her hand and tell her words to make her smile again. Those words that wanted to commit suicide, although they came to his mouth, were finally swallowed by him, Xie Fang understood that he knew the true meaning of life better.
Therefore, he was willing to put in more efforts to make money to treat Xie Fang, so that she could avoid the torture of the disease and no longer feel the pain and suffering. Just like the promise he once made, Xie Haihua has taken care of Xie Fang for decades, and from the moment they first met, their fates were closely intertwined, and they would never feel lonely again in their future lives.
When he was young, Xie Haihua's admiration for heroes led him into Xie Fang's life. After decades, Xie Haihua has always adhered to his promise and always accompanied Xie Fang, who has a disability.
Their feelings, like the sand in an oyster, are tempered and eventually become a dazzling pearl. In 2017, they were awarded the title of "Touching China", and the award speech read, "It is half a century of deep affection for each other".
The moment they walked onto the podium, the two of them held each other's hands tightly. The host was so moved that he almost choked up, while Xie Haihua and Xie Fang smiled a little shyly at the camera.
They are innocent hearts that have not been tempered by the world, and they repay the world with the purest love. Now, Xie Haihua has applied to become a security guard in a nursing home, while Xie Fang accompanies the elderly and comforts them with warm words.
Although illness and poverty continued to plague them, Xie Haihua carried Xie Fang on his back and walked on the road of "good people" step by step. The curtain has fallen on the award ceremony, but their lives are still full of challenges, but their hearts are full of sweetness, because they know that as long as there is love, mutual companionship is the greatest happiness.
