Chongqing girl Zhang Ying is a bitter girl, lost her father at a young age, and it was her stepfather who brought her up. 1975-born Liu Zhongzhong is a native of Changtu, Liaoning province, who graduated from a university in Beijing. After graduating from a university in Beijing, he went to work for a computer company in Guangzhou, where he was good at maintaining computer hardware and software.
Zhang Ying and Liu Zhongzhong are network enthusiasts, especially the Internet to play the "Legend" game. 2002 National Day in an afternoon, the two because of a game of baby acquaintance, each other's impression is good. Since then, the seeds of love in each other's hearts germinate. In the days of love, the two were not in the same place, and never met, the phone has become the most important thing in their lives.
April 12, 2003, Zhang Ying put on a white wedding dress, to be the bride of Liu Zhongzhong.
"Survival Diary" wrote the love vow
Flower blossomed and fell, and in the spring of 2005, Zhang Ying was pregnant. The couple was excited, however, the sky is the limit, April 12 was diagnosed by the hospital with advanced cervical cancer, the only way to save life at present is to do surgery to abort the fetus. After hearing the news, Liu Zhongzhong then a moment on the blindfold, he hesitated for a long time, was about to open his mouth to discuss with Zhang Ying "remove" the child, but has guessed that the condition of Zhang Ying did not let him say the words out loud, and resolutely expressed the need to give birth to the child. She pleaded with tears, "I am a terminal patient, I can't bring you health, can't give you youth, can't give you beauty, can't give you money, all normal women can give, I can't do. I can only give you a child. Promise me, let me give birth to him, I want to be a mother ......"
Soon, a netizen recommended a new drug for cervical cancer developed by an oncology institute in Xi'an to Zhang Ying. In order to seize any chance of survival, she took it without hesitation. After taking it for three days in a row, the bleeding symptoms began to subside. The doctor in Xi'an said, according to this, if Zhang Ying aborts the fetus and actively treats it, her disease may be cured, and she may also be able to conceive a child in the future. Because of this ray of hope, coupled with her husband and the doctor's hard persuasion, Zhang Ying finally compromised and let the fetus abort. However, she later learned that it was impossible to conceive a child with this disease because she had lost her ovarian function! When she learned of this result, Zhang Ying almost collapsed!
Witnessing his wife's tears and despair, Liu Zhongzhong was heartbroken but did not know how to console her. But to his amazement, his wife quickly got rid of from the despair. on May 5, Zhang Ying after chemotherapy, solemnly requested: "After I die, I want to donate my corneas, it is best to donate to an unmarried girl, you two married. After I'm gone, you see her eyes, just like seeing me." Hearing this from his wife, Liu Zhongliang burst into tears and strongly disagreed.
However, no matter how much her husband tried to persuade her, Zhang Ying had already made up her mind.
In the afternoon of May 9, Zhang Ying solemnly signed her name on the Chongqing Municipal Citizen Voluntary Organ Donation Registration Form. After filling out the contents, she asked her husband to send the registration form to the Chongqing Eye Bank, and entrusted him to handle the cornea donation procedures. Back in the hospital room, Zhang Ying leaned on her husband's arms, said fondly: "I'm going to start writing my survival diary. This is my second wish, I'm going to write down the bits and pieces of our love, and when I die, you'll be incinerated in front of my grave, and I won't feel lonely in heaven."
At noon on May 13, 2005, Zhang Ying vomited and became dizzy from time to time. She steeled herself and lay in bed all the time listening to the Internet song "Lilac Flower" playing on her computer. In the poignant mood created by the song, she wrote her first "survival diary" with a trembling hand --
"My love, it's not easy to love me! We can finally be together and I have to go. I don't want to let go, my love. There was a time when I thought that I would leave you like this; there was a time when I thought that I would never be able to hold your hand to old age, to the time when we are both 80 years old and then go to the beach and try that toothless kissing that soft feeling. Will you be sad to see me go, dear, will you? ......"
After that, as long as her physical condition permitted, Zhang Ying insisted on writing such a heartbreaking diary that was as beautiful as fireworks every day.
Tang Lei sang "Lilac Flower" for them
In the ticking sound of the countdown to life, Zhang Ying sang "Lilac Flower" every day. Whenever she wrote her diary, she had to play it to hear it. It was also the song that made Internet pop singer Tang Lei appear in her last hours. Lilac Flower" was Liu Zhongzhong's favorite song, and by extension, it became Zhang Ying's favorite. Liu Zhongliang believes that this song represents a kind of love that holds hands until old age and promises to live and die together, which is exactly what he aspires to and pursues. For this reason, he became Tang Lei's "super fan", but also "lilac flowers" website super moderator.
In the middle of May 2005, Liu Zhongzhong came across a Korean novel called "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" without realizing it. The fictionalized story in the book was so similar to their experiences in reality! Liu loyal immediately recommended the book to his wife, Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying did not say a word after reading, she has become a tearful person.
After a few days, Zhang Ying hesitantly put forward an idea to her husband: "Can we recommend this book to Tang Lei, so that he can write a song to pay tribute to this classic love, and at the same time, it is also a reflection of our love." Liu Loyalty, upon hearing this, shouted out loud in excitement. But when he calmed down, he wasn't the least bit sure about the proposal. You know, Tang Lei is already a popular singer in the north and south of the Yangtze River, will he write a song for a pair of strangers? For the sake of his wife, Liu Zhongzhong decided to give it a try.
Liu Zhongzhong quickly asked for Tang Lei's cell phone number through the fan club, and rashly dialed it. On the phone, he told Tang Lei the story of himself and Zhang Ying, and recited the opening paragraph of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance". On the other end of the phone, Tang Lei was touched and in tears, but he didn't agree to write the song right away, but wanted to come and see Zhang Ying first.
On May 29, 2005, Tang Lei made a special trip to Chongqing. On that day, when Tang Lei appeared in the hospital room with his guitar in his arms, Zhang Ying had just returned from chemotherapy. She leaned on Liu Lianzhong's arms, and seemed to have no pain and grief on the face of an advanced cancer patient; while Liu Lianzhong looked at his beloved, who had lost her hair, and his eyes were filled with infinite love and compassion. At that moment, Tang Lei's heartstrings were plucked by this pair of lovers. Under the gaze of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ying and other patients' surprised eyes, he sang "Lilac Flower" with deep emotion.
That day, Tang Lei stayed at Zhang Ying's bedside for two whole hours. He read her Survival Diary in detail, and then meticulously inquired about her condition and treatment. When he learned that the couple had gone into debt for Zhang Ying's treatment, he said after a long silence, "You two are the Chinese version of 'Chrysanthemum Fragrance'. I promised to write a song for you, and I will do it. The title of the song will be 'Chrysanthemum Fragrance'. And I want to hold a benefit show for Zhang Ying, so that everyone can come and help you two true couples."
Subsequently, Tang Lei urgently summoned some of his friends in Chongqing and some members of the Chongqing fan club, and with the ****same efforts of these enthusiasts, a charity show to raise medical fees for Zhang Ying kicked off on June 6 in Chongqing's Jiefangbei Square with Tang Lei's song. On that day, the performance was surrounded by enthusiastic citizens. In addition to Tang Lei's hardcore "fans", more people were concerned about Zhang Ying, everyone wanted to see this woman who is still strong in the face of death.
That day, Zhang Ying also went to the show, wearing an unassuming blue jacket, always smiling, sitting on the side of the stage to watch the show, while Liu Zhongzhong has long been sobbing uncontrollably. After Tang Lei finished singing, Chongqing disabled singers and college bands also took to the stage, encouraging Zhang Ying to bravely fight the disease. The staff is holding a donation box, walking in the crowd, a pair of enthusiastic hands out, people have to donate money to the box, two hours later, donations have been nearly 20,000 yuan.
The strong love made the always calm Zhang Ying excited. She slowly walked onto the stage and sang "Lilac Flower" with Tang Lei.
At this time, the whole audience was silent, all quietly listening to Zhang Ying and Tang Lei's song, the poignant melody echoed for a long time in the mountain city of the sky ...... After singing, Zhang Ying y bowed to the audience off the stage, infinite affection, said: "Thank you Tang Lei! Thank you all! I am just an ordinary woman, but I am fortunate to have so much love. My 26-year-old life is radiant because of today, even if I die right away, I have no regrets......." Before Zhang Ying finished speaking, Tang Lei couldn't hold back any longer, and he lost his voice and cried: "Can you wait for me for half a year, and I will absolutely write 'Chrysanthemum Fragrance' for you. Whenever people sing this song, they will remember a girl named Zhang Ying." Zhang Ying nodded her head firmly: "I'll wait for ......"
Looking forward to "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" with her life
Because of this agreement, Zhang Ying, who had been given several critical notices by the hospital, was surprised to be given the "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" by the hospital. However, Tang Lei's song has not yet been sung.
Tang Lei, who is actually in a different place, hasn't forgotten his promise with Zhang Ying for a moment, but the brokerage company has already scheduled his schedule to the end of the year. Every day busy running down, to the window of the night, how he could not find the inspiration and passion to create. As long as there is time, he will go online to communicate with Liu Zhongzhong for a while, hoping to feel their true love from his little memories. And Tang Lei's pillow side of the book "Chrysanthemum fragrance" he already know by heart.
During the National Day in 2005, Tang Lei decided to take a vacation with his company, he wanted to go back to his hometown in Northeast China, where he was in the lush wilderness, and he believed that inspiration would come unexpectedly. One day at dusk, the air was unusually dull, and at night, a heavy rain came down in the sky. Between the heavy rain curtain, wearing a red dress, Zhang Ying smiled the strong and poignant look, Liu Zhongzhong back Zhang Ying when the trembling shoulders of the picture is like a flash, Tang Lei excitedly picked up a pen and paper, recorded the mood at this time.
Time entered the beginning of November 2005, Zhang Ying began to repeatedly appear deep coma. Liu Zhongzhong realized that his wife's time was running out. He anxiously made a call to Tang Lei. Tang Lei told him that the lyrics and music have been written and are currently in the process of post-production orchestration, which is expected to be completed in the next two days. Once this side of the work is over, he rushed to Chongqing without stopping.November 12, in a coma Zhang Ying suddenly opened his eyes, seems to be looking forward to. Liu Zhongzhong understood that his wife was waiting for the song, but he was too embarrassed to rush Tang Lei again, only to hold his wife's hand tightly. At 12:00 noon, carrying a guitar, Tang Lei dusty appeared in the ward. Liu Zhongzhong hurriedly crouched in his wife's ear and whispered, "Tang Lei is here to sing 'Chrysanthemum Fragrance' for you." Two tears slipped from the corner of Zhang Ying's eyes.
Tang Lei sat in front of Zhang Ying's hospital bed with a grave face, plucked the strings of the zither, and sang "The Fragrance of Chrysanthemums" with deep emotion: "I used to have a dream, that you could be my bride, and I looked forward to it towards the morning, and thought about it at night, and when the chrysanthemums would spit out their fragrance. ...... You had said to the fall chrysanthemums are open, I will wear that beautiful red dress for you, vowed to be like a flower floating with the wind to the faraway places, youth scattering to leave an eternal wound. Autumn has come, the leaves are red, this season I harvested sadness. Chrysanthemums bloomed, the fragrance of the sky, but you have long been away from me ......
In the song, Zhang Ying bloomed a smile, and then peacefully left. The season is most poetic; she came from the fall and returned to it.
Nowadays, "Chrysanthemum Scent" has been sung all over the streets and alleys, and every time he hears the song, Liu Zhongzhong tells himself that Zhang Ying is never far away ......
