A Moving True Love Story

Their meeting was purely coincidental. Perhaps it was fate that brought them together in a city that was not originally their own, leading them to know each other, fall in love, and cherish each other.

His home was in a small village in Shaanxi Province, while she came from the distant Northeast. Neither of their families were well-off; if they were, they wouldn’t have ventured far from home, leading a life of drifting.

That year, he was 19, and she was 20. They both worked in a glass factory. He did manual labor, loading and unloading glass. Her job was relatively easier, as she used a glass cutter to cut glass.

One day, while she was cutting glass, she accidentally severed an artery in her wrist. Blood gushed out like a tidal wave. At that moment, he happened to be in the workshop moving glass. Seeing this shocking scene, he didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed over, tore off a sleeve from his shirt, and tightly wrapped her wrist. At that time, they didn’t know each other, only that they worked in the same factory.

Due to excessive blood loss, she fainted. To save her life, he carried her on his back and ran towards the hospital, which was about three miles away from the factory. He didn’t stop, fearing that her life would be in danger if he did.

After emergency treatment, she survived. During the 24 hours she was unconscious, he stayed by her side without leaving for a moment. Especially during the search for a blood source, he generously offered his own blood. After donating 600 milliliters, he could barely stand but still insisted on staying until she was out of danger.

This is how they met.

His name was Qingzhu, and she had a beautiful name, Lanhua. Through this incident, they got to know each other.

He often told her about the yellow earth plateau of Shaanxi, the cave dwellings, and his impoverished father who herded sheep every day. She would tell him about Beidahuang, the towering birch forests, the snowflakes filling the sky, and the various customs of Northeast China.

This is how they fell in love.

He was a good man who knew how to take care of and love his woman. She was a good woman who knew how to care for and understand her man.

They lived together for three years, even though they were not married during that time.

One day, he suggested they get married, but she didn’t agree. He couldn’t understand why she refused, but he knew she loved him deeply, more deeply than the sea.

One day, while he was moving glass as usual, bad news came. She had fainted while cutting glass and was now in the hospital’s emergency room. Hearing this news, he was stunned, letting the glass fall to the ground, shattering into pieces.

When he stumbled into the hospital, she had already woken up. Her face was pale without a trace of color. Looking at her lying on the hospital bed, he was speechless, letting silent tears fall.

She had leukemia, and it was in its late stage, the doctor told him. His heart broke. How he wished it was him who was sick instead of her.

He was angry at her for hiding this from him, but he also understood why she didn’t marry him.

Her condition worsened day by day, and even her eyes lost their sparkle. Knowing she didn’t have much time left, he held a grand wedding in the hospital room. That day, she wore a white wedding dress, and he gentlemanly placed the wedding ring on her finger, even though the ring cost all his savings. He didn’t regret it at all. The room was filled with orchids.

She looked very spirited at that moment, full of happiness, not at all like a patient. The hospital director acted as a witness for their wedding.

She passed away silently, leaving nothing behind. But he clearly remembered her last promise to him: “In the next life, I will still be your bride.”
