Xiaomin is a ballerina. She used to be a soloist at the Shanghai Ballet Theater, one of the three soloists for the lead role of "Xi'er" in the dance drama "The White-haired Girl". We all know the famous ballerina Shi Zhongqin at that time, Xiaoming sister is with her.
On September 30th, a few of our friends went to see our friend Meng Fan-ti, who is suffering from cancer and is in the late stages of the disease. The first time I saw her, I was in the middle of a conversation with her, and I was able to get her to talk to me about the situation. When I saw her has been unable to speak, just out of her door my heart began to ache, a few more steps actually can not walk. Because I was also sick for a few years, then in addition to cardiovascular problems plus a depression, very vulnerable emotionally. Back home, cold and quiet, originally well-decorated house because the waterproof did not do several walls soaked, wallpaper off. Two nights ago, I actually saw two very large black moths sticking to the wall of my bedroom, which scared me. A thought immediately flashed in my mind: this is a bad omen, I must leave home! So, I immediately booked a ticket to Hainan, to "join" our University of Transportation Professor Zhang's lover Dr. Liu. I'm still familiar with her, she has been recommended to me a few times the Mountain and Sea Resort.
A few days after going to a night, I played the piano in the hall, heard a few "senior guests" of the resort, said Yang Ballet tomorrow to fly directly from Singapore. I asked: "Yang Ballet is a ballet dancer?" They said yes. They said yes. "Dancing Hei Er's yo!" So I wanted to see what this "Hei Er" looked like.
The Shanhai Resort was a relatively upscale resort at the time. In fact, the place is not big, there are no facilities around, not even a supermarket, restaurant, alone, buy something to take the car more than 20 minutes to the "Guilin Yang" town to buy. Although inconvenient, but this resort by the sea, not far away from the place there are one or two very high-grade but people can be sparrow's neighborhood, is a good place to walk. The resort's food is very good, buffet style, with many dishes to choose from. It is well-equipped, there is a clinic to see the doctor infusion, there is a more complete medical equipment free medical examination. And the resort management is good, recreational atmosphere, fun. Therefore, although the charges are more expensive, but every winter are basically full.
"Yang Ballet" arrived the next evening, she and his lover, Mr. Kang, from Singapore's son flew over for the winter. The two of them have been longtime customers of Shanhai Resort, where they have stayed for several years in the winter. I later learned that Min had suffered from a very serious heart disease, a few years even the bed is difficult to come down, relying on Mr. Kang to serve. After a "tough battle", she was finally able to move around in general. But the slightest bit more movement or bad weather would be very difficult for her.
At Shanhai, there were a few retired teachers from the same school, but they were not familiar with her. In addition, they are about ten years older, and all with their husbands, therefore, I am a "single". I don't want to find a person I don't know to combine a room, I'd rather spend twice as much money to live alone. Everyone went to the beach after breakfast, everyone went out for a walk after dinner, but I always walked alone, listening to music on the transmitter or reading literature. So, I don't feel bad about it. Someone asked me, "Not lonely?" And I replied, "It's dashing loneliness."
But one day, Xiaomin came to me and said, "Let me break your dashing loneliness!"
It was only later that I slowly realized that Xiaomin was a very delicate, intelligent, empathetic, caring and considerate person. She was especially compassionate because of the pain she experienced from her own illness.
From that day on, and for the next four months, she walked to the beach with me every morning, exercising, and throwing her Kang teacher completely out of the picture.
Walking and talking, we know that we are the same year and the same month of birth of the "old geng", so more added to the degree of intimacy. I also learned that Mr. Kang is the Shanghai Film Studio's film shooter, and their son works at the National Heart Hospital in Singapore, is a young and talented doctor. Their granddaughter is very cute and their daughter-in-law is very pretty. Xiaomin said that her daughter-in-law has a "high turnover rate" and that she has a "great sense of style". I really envy her!
It was a comfortable and warm day. In the morning, we went to the beach and did exercises and sunbathed on the beach. Then we walked barefoot from the beach back to the resort's lobby, and Xiaomin went to practice playing the piano. She has been playing the piano for several years and can play many famous pieces. I marveled at her patience, perseverance, and diligence, and I was ashamed of myself. Later, she told me that she was selected into the Shanghai Ballet at a very young age. Since she was a child, she received very strict training and suffered a lot. I think this has also honed many of her outstanding qualities. In fact, as an audience, what we see offstage is the incomparable beauty of art, while the actors onstage, they do not know how much hard work and sweat! Xiaomin is a soloist, she suffers more and is trained more rigorously.
Shanhai Resort is really a home for arts and culture. There are several masters and connoisseurs of the arts, as well as a large number of literary activists. The Spring Festival is usually held in February, but at Shanhai, rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala start in November or February. There is no shortage of talent for conducting, singing, dancing, sketching, and so on, and there seems to be a wide range of talent for all kinds of programs. We all hoped that "Yang Ballet" would dance a part of the White Hair Woman's Xier, but Xiaomin had to let everyone down because of her health problems. I had signed up to sing two English songs, but close to the show, I was invited by a good friend to go to Wenchang to play a few days, a return to Shanhai and heart pain to get fluids, so I had to cancel the program.
As time went by, I got to know more and more people in Shanhai, such as our Liu sisters, the kind and active Mr. Hu and Mr. Wang, a few Christian sisters, Dr. Yang, a dermatologist from Shanghai, and his female companion, Ms. Kang, etc. So far, I've been with the Guangzhou University College of Foreign Languages, and I've been with the Guangzhou University College of Foreign Languages. So far, I have been in closer contact on WeChat with Phoebe, a sister from Guangzhou University's College of Foreign Languages, eight sisters from Liu's family name, and Mr. Hu and Mr. Wang. After dinner, I also walk with them, but in the morning to the beach, has been my sister Xiaomin and I "patent".
Xiaomin and Mr. Kang know many people in the literary world, some of them very famous, such as the famous erhu player Min Huifen and the famous movie actress Qin Yi. Both of them are people I like and admire very much, especially Ms. Qin Yi. Ms. Qin Yi is my idol and the person I should learn from the most. She has acted in so many excellent movies, but she is never proud of herself. She suffered so much in her life, but never complained. Whenever I feel that my personal life is not going well and I have suffered a lot, I would think: What is this suffering of mine? Qin Yi suffered so much, but she was always strong and elegant! Mr. Kang was very close to Qin Yi and would visit her from time to time. He told me that Qin Yi said she was like Lu Ma in Thunderstorm, having suffered enough. I liked Ms. Qin Yi from the bottom of my heart, so I wrote her a heartfelt letter and asked Mr. Kang to go back to Shanghai to pass it on to Ms. Qin Yi. But I never expected that soon after Ms. Kang forwarded the letter, Xiaomin asked for my e-mail address. She told me that Ms. Qin Yi read my letter and went into her room looking for something. She took out a picture book of her and the famous singer Zhou Xiaoyan, wrote a few words on the front page inside, and asked Ms. Kang to forward it to me. When I received her album and saw the words written to me by the then 93-year-old artist, I was really touched! She was so kind to me! Ms. Kang told me that this was one of only two albums, and the other one was kept in the Qin Yi Museum. Later, they also told me that my letter was also taken to the museum.
In the spring of 2015, Xiaomin and I said goodbye at Shanhai, and in the summer I was hospitalized again due to illness, and the following year I had surgery for breast cancer. The first time I saw her, she was very concerned about me, asking about treatment paths, and cheering me on. At that time, there was no WeChat, so she called me. I lived up to her expectations and finally beat the disease.In November 2017, I took a cruise to Japan. There, I spent my seventieth birthday. When I returned to Shanghai, Xiaomin's sister specially booked a banquet in a very nice hotel to celebrate my birthday. She gave me many gifts, one of which was a silver pig. We both belong to the pig, she bought two, one for each of us. I could not return the gift, so I gave her my own tourmaline necklace as a souvenir. I passed through Shanghai twice, each time she first to a good restaurant to book a table to entertain me and my fellow travelers, she is a friend who is a heavy sense of justice and etiquette.
In the winter of 2018 we both went to Hainan again, she went to Shanhai. But I took care of my small house, so I went to live in my neighborhood in Chengmai. However, we still met in downtown Haikou. That time, again, Xiaomin sister entertained me. We agreed to meet every winter, we said goodbye to each other, and agreed to see at least eighty.
However, not long afterward, Xiaomin's sister fell ill.
Like me, she had breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. At first, I wasn't terribly worried because I myself had the disease and recovered. But then the news was not good, Xiaomin's cancer cells metastasized to the lymph, and she had to go for many more radiation treatments.
My heart was heavy! What about my Xiaomin sister? I came to Hainan in the winter of 2019 and was looking forward to meeting again, but she didn't make it. Are we not going to be able to meet in Hainan in the future?
At that time, she was depressed, had a bad taste, and slept poorly. The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good look at it, and I was able to get a good look at it, and I was able to get a good look at it, and I was able to get a good look at it.
I'm not happy, I can't watch her sink. I know that if she collapses mentally, she is really hopeless. I had to cheer her up, I had to give her a boost, I had to cheer her up. So, I left her a voice message. Because I know she doesn't have the strength to talk, and besides, talking doesn't always work well. I leave the voice, so I can talk paragraph by paragraph. I could think about what would move her as I spoke. I can think calmly instead of emotionally rushing.
In the evening, on the grass in the neighborhood, while walking, I spoke to her, spoke ah, spoke ah ...... about my own feelings when I was sick, my thoughts at that time, how my friends came to my rescue, how I finally got God's salvation, how I finally got rid of the shackles psychologically, how to realize my own shortcomings, how to Finally climbed out of the valley of death ......
I also talked about her favorable conditions, she has a husband who cares for her in every way, a son who is very understanding and is a doctor, many relatives and friends who care for and help her, and good financial conditions ......
I put my heart completely into my voicemail message, my love for her, my hope for her, my commitment to us to at least *** celebrate the eightieth anniversary of all into my voicemail message.
Finally, God heard my cry. Xiao Min's sister figured it out, and she stopped dealing with her illness in a dissipated manner. She sent me the following message:
"Sister Mingqiong, after you had a long talk with me, I came out of my gray mood! I am dedicated to radiation therapy and fighting cancer! I believe in everything you said and I will be able to beat the disease too!"
I responded to her:
"I have no doubt that you will get better! All appearances are born from the mind, and when the mind is bright, the body will also be bright! You rest well, Sister loves you!"
"The whole thirty times of radiation therapy are over! Thank you Sister Mingqiong for the spiritual strength! The positive energy greatly helped me get through it."
How happy I am! Thirty rounds of radiation therapy requires so much courage, perseverance and confidence! My sister Xiaomin was able to get through this to a large extent depends on her perseverance, this in the face of difficulties and pain and also to bite the bullet to the end of the spirit since she practiced ballet has had, and then the heart attack was basically subdued by her is also another example of her perseverance. Of course, the encouragement and help of family and friends is a big factor. But any external cause has to work through internal causes!
Xiaomin is a very intelligent person, and she is a one-trick pony. Her health has improved by leaps and bounds, so much so that I kind of can't believe it. She sends me pictures from time to time to reassure me of her health. I sent her something I wrote to read and she liked it so much that she suggested I publish a book. No, my two sisters simply thought of each other!
My Xiaomin sister and my soul, we help each other to encourage each other, we have the confidence to at least *** celebrate the eightieth birthday. Not long ago, she wrote a poem:
Warm
? Same year, same month, same birthdate,
? Same trip to Hainan to avoid the cold.
? The first time we met, we became destined to be together,
? The first time I saw you, I was so happy to see you, and I'm so happy to see you.
My Xiaomin sister, I Love You!
