Zhou Shiyuan, a 25-year-old teacher in Tsinghua University, couldn't sleep after tossing and turning for a night. She was exhausted and her head exploded. Because of work frustration and emotional frustration, he was depressed and miserable, as if he were on the verge of life. Finally, he made up his mind to commit suicide!
He shook himself out of bed, wrote a short suicide note, found a rope in the gloomy hall and hung himself on the door frame connecting the hall and the suite. Fortunately, the rope broke and he fell. His hand groped in the dark, touched a bottle, unscrewed the lid, looked up and poured the liquid into his mouth. In an instant, the body burned fiercely, and he fainted to the ground ...
After that, Zhou Shiyuan knew nothing about it. At dawn, my colleague went to work and opened the laboratory. too many cooks sent Zhou Shiyuan to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Peking University nearby. When the liquid test results came out, the doctor's heart was in his throat. What Zhou Shiyuan drank was 98% sulfuric acid!
Zhou Shiyuan's life hangs by a thread, and every minute counts. The news that a Tsinghua University teacher committed suicide by drinking sulfuric acid also spread like wildfire in the hospital. When a girl heard this, she was so surprised that her mouth opened wide and became an O-shape. Her name is Liu Yadong, 21 years old, and she is a factory doctor in a cotton mill near Tsinghua University. Because her brother was hospitalized with rheumatic heart disease, she asked for leave to take care of him. Hearing the news of Zhou Shiyuan, she was very worried. Has the talented young man been saved?
Four days later, Zhou Shiyuan survived. Ten days later, after the critical period, he was pushed into the ward. The doctor said to the family members of patients in the ward, "His family members are in Shanghai and will come here recently. Please help take care of them these days."
"I'll take care of him." The speaker is a young girl. Zhou Shiyuan slowly turned his head, and the girl was beautiful and quiet, with a pair of curved smiling eyes and sweetness. His heart thumped and gave a grateful look. This girl is Liu Yadong. Zhou Shiyuan lives in a ward with her brother.
Liu Yadong asked about Zhou Shiyuan's illness, and the doctor told him that his mouth, stomach and esophagus were badly burned. After cleaning, he had esophageal dilatation surgery. Once the esophagus contracted or scarred, it would lead to bleeding, so he must be observed frequently. The doctor sighed: "ruins, his body is in ruins."
Liu Yadong, who is also a doctor, took the initiative to put an intravenous drip on Zhou Shiyuan's dressing change, scrubbed his face and hands, and fed him warm water when his lips were dry ... A few days later, Zhou Shiyuan's relatives came from Shanghai and expressed their deep gratitude to Liu Yadong. At this moment, Zhou Shiyuan's face was white-washed, wow, and blood was pouring. It was Liu Yadong who hurried to call the doctor again.
Zhou Shiyuan had esophageal bleeding and was pushed into the operating room. He opened his chest, cut the trachea and took out the blocked residue ... Everyone felt sorry: even if he survived, he was still a medicine jar, not disabled. After he was rescued successfully again, his patient was far away from him, and only Liu Yadong still took care of him. Relatives privately advised her to stop doing unnecessary charity. Liu Yadong said, "He is high flyers, Tsinghua, and we should help him."
After staying in bed for one month, Zhou Shiyuan was active in the fields, but his speech was difficult and his voice was hoarse. Late at night in early autumn, Liu Yadong was going home. In the garden corridor of the hospital, he saw Zhou Shiyuan sitting alone and looking up at the starry sky. She quietly approached, sat down beside him and asked him softly, "Why are you so stupid to drink sulfuric acid?" Zhou Shiyuan's hoarse voice came slowly-
He is from Baoshan District, Shanghai, with four sisters and two younger brothers. He was smart since he was a child. After he entered Tsinghua University, he became a monitor, and the whole family was proud of him. However, after staying in school, he was assigned to the automobile major, where the bull's head was not the horse's mouth. He was deeply depressed. Not long ago, he fell in love with a girl and dared to show his love. He was ridiculed by his colleagues, felt ashamed of his family and committed suicide.
A talented person has a fragile heart. Liu Yadong understood that his illness was rooted in his heart. Aside, Zhou Shiyuan hugged his head helplessly: "Now, I am a loser in everyone's eyes ..." Liu Yadong was saddened and asked: "Do you know flamingos?" Zhou Shiyuan nodded.
"A colorful phoenix, which was burned by fire and reborn from the ashes, is called a flamingo. Don't you want to be a flamingo? " Without waiting for Zhou Shiyuan's answer, Liu Yadong got up and walked away.
Zhou shiyuan suddenly realized. At the same time, a subtle warmth is rippling: since contact, he has deeply fallen in love with this girl, but will she like herself? She hurt herself so badly. Is it because of her kind help? Uneasy, Zhou Shiyuan decided to cheer up first, like the flamingo reborn from the fire. Otherwise, there is no qualification to love her.
a force grows from his heart. The source of strength is Liu Yadong, who is like a fairy. Zhou Shiyuan actively cooperated with the treatment and looked forward to spending more time with Liu Yadong every day. Occasionally, he saw Liu Yadong reading a book called "Out of Depression" and leafing through it. Some of her usual rhetoric and practices were recorded in the book. In an instant, his eyes filled with tears: what a good girl, these days with good intentions!
Four months later, Zhou Shiyuan is going back to Shanghai to recuperate. When leaving, he said goodbye to Liu Yadong, swallowed his throat with great difficulty and said, "I will go home tomorrow and want to buy you some gifts. What do you like?" Liu Yadong couldn't understand Zhou Shiyuan's mind, but she was too kind-hearted and worried that refusing would hurt him again, which was not good for his recovery. She said euphemistically, "I heard that Shanghai shoes are beautiful, please help me take a pair of shoes." In this way, Zhou Shiyuan got Liu Yadong's home address.
loved one has been around for p>2 years, and another flamingo took off with you.
When Zhou Shiyuan returned to Shanghai, he missed Liu Yadong more and more. Finally, he couldn't suppress his feelings, got up his courage, and poured out his bold and almost reckless extravagant hopes: "You turned on the lamp of my life and left me with thoughts. I am eager to turn this kind of thoughts into a companion." If you agree, please send me a photo of you. " When the letter was sent, Zhou Shiyuan was uneasy and looked forward to the postman's bike stopping at his door every day.
Finally, the postman stopped at his door and handed him a letter from Beijing. Zhou Shiyuan eagerly opened the envelope, and when he saw it, it was like Fan Jin's middle lift-a four-inch photo of her was in the letter! He was excited with a photo in his hand.
In the summer of p>1972, Zhou Shiyuan basically recovered, and was going to report to the school to take the opportunity to see Liu Yadong. He bought a pair of Shanghai size 37 women's shoes, some burnt salt raisins and some other gifts. He knocked on the door of the Liu family with excitement and anxiety. The whole family is here. Liu Yadong's brother has also recovered. After some small talk, he showed his heart to Liu Yadong with courage.
laughter came to an abrupt end. "Xiao Zhou, we should help you in the hospital. We apologize if Liu Yadong's actions make you misunderstand ..."
The Liu family is a scholarly family with strict family education. After Zhou Shiyuan left, the whole family asked Liu Yadong to break up with him. The reason is simple: Zhou Shiyuan has been hit hard by this, and he may recur sometime. Moreover, Liu is a Hui nationality and Zhou Shiyuan is a Han nationality. Different living habits will cause a lot of trouble ... Liu Yadong listened silently, didn't dare to refute, but tears for you.
It's night, and her mind is full of scenes with Zhou Shiyuan-she appreciates Zhou Shiyuan's talent and knows his dependence on herself. If we say that we just don't want to hurt him by leaving him an address, and then send photos, it is really exciting. But what the family said is also reasonable. How does she choose? The next day, she wrote to tell Zhou Shiyuan about her hesitation, and by the way, she also tested him: You won't be upset about being rejected again this time, will you? Zhou Shiyuan wrote back: A little disappointed, but the last incident won't happen. Don't worry Then, he carefully asked, in fact, living habits are not a problem. If my body recovers in a few years, can I win the consent of your family?
Soon, he received a letter from Liu Yadong: My family promised me five years, and I didn't get sick for five years, so I agreed to associate with him. In Zhou Shiyuan's bitterness, he felt a little sweet. He didn't know, and Liu Yadong was very pleased to read his letter. I am glad that he is mature, and I am glad that he loves firmly. Liu Yadong has an idea. Stay with him for the rest of his life!
Her family can't compete with her carrot and stick, and they also know her little mind. They scraped her little nose and used the delaying tactic: for five years, I don't worry that Liu Yadong couldn't find a suitable family and get married. But they didn't expect that Liu Yadong didn't like any of them. Once, a friend introduced her to an office clerk. The young man was handsome and eloquent. But Liu Yadong said, "I already have someone in my heart." The other party left awkwardly.
The doctor suggested that the school approved Zhou Shiyuan to take another four-year long vacation. He wrote to Liu Yadong while reading for health. Sometimes the letter was sent out, and there was no reply for months or even half a year. He comforted himself, perhaps the letter was withheld by her family. He didn't guess wrong, as it is. In the third year of his recuperation, Zhou Shiyuan went to Beijing and found Liu Yadong. After a long separation, the two agreed to wait for more than a year, and the five-year contract was coming, and they would certainly win the consent of their families. But they were wrong. In 1976, Zhou Shiyuan went to the Liu family and was turned away. At this time, Zhou Shiyuan is 3 years old and Liu Yadong is 26 years old. When they are old enough to talk about marriage, there is no way to save their love.
In the same year, Zhou Shiyuan was sent to Sanmenxia Hydropower Station by Tsinghua University. Another separation, another emotional torment. Zhou Shiyuan's family was in a hurry, and his sister was running around, but Zhou Shiyuan was absent-minded. Mother and sister cried and advised him not to hang himself on a tree, but Zhou Shiyuan said that there was no room for a second person in his heart. If he could be with Liu Yadong, he would wait a few years.
it rains all night. In 1979, he was unwell again, unable to eat, and his stomach ached and he was sweating. He lived in the Third Hospital of Peking University. After examination, his gastric mucosa was burnt into charcoal powder in many places, and he must be operated immediately. When Liu Yadong heard this, he hurried to the hospital and asked about his illness. The doctor told me that the burnt part had been removed, but the concentration of sulfuric acid was too high, and his body was like ruins. After several years, some good parts were corroded into charcoal powder ... After two operations, his stomach was removed by 7%. In those days, Liu Yadong stood in front of Zhou Shiyuan's bed, feeling extremely distressed.
A few days later, Zhou Shiyuan's warmth turned into an apology. He took Liu Yadong's hand and said, "We are predestined friends. I have delayed you for so many years. Please find someone to start a family again." Liu Yadong burst into tears for a while and said, "Remember the flamingo?" Zhou Shiyuan nodded.
"Flamingos have another feature." Liu Yadong said, "They only have one partner in their life and never give up. If one wing is broken, the other will stand alone until death do us part. " That tone, gentle and firm.
The more Liu Yadong does this, the less Zhou Shiyuan wants to delay her. He decided to let go for love. While recuperating in Shanghai, he no longer wrote to Liu Yadong, nor did he reply to Liu Yadong's letter. A year later, when Zhou Shiyuan returned to Tsinghua University, he also buried his thoughts deeply in his heart. Even though he would touch the photos of Liu Yadong again and again, he couldn't control his steps again and again, and when he reached the door of her unit, he resolutely turned back.
Maybe she is married, Zhou Shiyuan thinks so. In order to dilute his thoughts, he arranged his time to be full, preparing lessons during the day, reading at night and spending weekends in the library. During the winter and summer vacations, he has become famous all over the world, and even like a student, he went to Peking University, the National People's Congress, and worked as an auditor everywhere ... The days were suffering, and Zhou Shiyuan became an out-of-touch scholar.
On August 5, 1989, Zhou Shiyuan met Dr. Qi, a doctor in the Third Hospital of Peking University. When chatting, Dr. Qi asked, "When will you and Xiao Liu get married?" People have been waiting for you for more than 1 years. " Zhou Shiyuan smiled bitterly and said that he had not contacted for a long time. Doctor Qi was stupefied and said, "Yesterday Xiao Liu went to the hospital. I asked her if she was married, but she saidno.. And act like you don't want to talk. I thought you had a quarrel. "
Zhou Shiyuan's heart trembled and tears welled up. Yesterday, August 4th, was the day when I committed suicide. He quickly inquired about the inside story. Doctor Qi told him that Liu Yadong was transferred to China University of Political Science and Law as a school doctor three years ago ... Zhou Shiyuan arrived there by car and found Liu Yadong sweating. After more than ten years of wind and frost, both of them have entered middle age. In a restaurant, Zhou Shiyuan asked, "Aren't you married?" Liu Yadong asked, "Are you married?"
"No." After that, Zhou Shiyuan almost lost control of his emotions and poured out the thoughts he had saved in his heart over the years. Liu Yadong, who has never been quiet, couldn't control his tears. He punched Zhou Shiyuan two or three times and said aggrieved, "Do you think it's easy for me to wait for you all these years? You hide, I thought that you would really hide in my old age and come to me again. " Zhou Shiyuan's heart was wet with Liu Yadong's tears. He held her hand tightly and said firmly, "We will never be apart again, and no one can tear us apart."
I lost my voice and burst out with the strongest voice: "Life can be so beautiful unexpectedly"
Eighteen years have passed since I met you, fell in love and reunited today. From youth to middle age, a pair of lovers finally got together. When Zhou Shiyuan proposed marriage, Liu Yadong was very happy, but she calmed down. She said that in recent years, her family did not understand and did not support it. Now that her mother is old and her brother has a serious heart disease, the form is not important. It is good to be together.
Zhou Shiyuan agrees, and they live together.
However, happiness had just begun, and fate played a big joke on them-they were also in a happy mood. Zhou Shiyuan worked harder. In the summer of 199, the heavy editing and often thirsty teaching task of Journal of Tsinghua University suddenly made him lose his voice!
I was hospitalized again, operated, and got through the trachea. Half a month after the operation, his voice is still unable to speak. Liu Yadong, a former doctor, was in a hurry. After taking care of him, he plunged into the library all the time, then took back a pile of medical materials and sorted them out one by one. Then, he began to guide Zhou Shiyuan to restore his language ability. The root of Zhou Shiyuan's aphasia is his tracheal operation, and the lack of airflow hinders his pronunciation. On the other hand, his sudden attack on the heart caused several organs not to cooperate normally ... Liu Yadong first asked Zhou Shiyuan to practice his abdominal muscles and increase his air flow. At the same time, practice qigong with him every morning to promote smooth airflow. A week later, while practicing Qigong, Zhou Shiyuan suddenly stepped on a stone and almost fell down. Suddenly, his throat uttered an "ah". Liu Yadong was pleasantly surprised: "Please say it again." Zhou Shiyuan did it, and sure enough, he could make a sound again! Moreover, his voice is much louder than before. "My voice has recovered." When tears filled his eyes, this was the first sentence that Zhou Shiyuan said.
after two months of training. On this day, Liu Yadong opened the door and listened to him chanting: "From today, I have a sunny mind/this is the touchstone of my life/this is the magician of my life/this is the Big Dipper of my life/this is the Noah's Ark of my life/it is a wonderful lamp in my life ..." Liu Yadong smiled silently. It's not easy, this man, both physically and mentally, has stood up from the ruins!
that night, they were whispering. Liu Yadong lamented his difficulty. He smiled: "Didn't you always tell me about flamingos?" Liu Yadong unknown his intention, nodded. "I'll tell one, too." Zhou Shiyuan said, "There was a strange bird in the ancient country of Loulan, which flew south until the sky fire lit its feathers and brought the fire back to the ancient country of Loulan. The people of Loulan are called flamingos. When Prince Loulan was trapped, the flamingo burst into flames, showing extraordinary power. The whole body was covered with dazzling flames, and the sharp beak became the sharpest blade to protect the prince. "
