True love story
This is a true love story about a young couple.
He was originally the owner of a small paint shop and had been married to his wife for three years. They had a lovely daughter, and their days were very happy.
Unexpectedly, one day, his paint shop caught fire. In an instant, the fire consumed 100,000 yuan worth of paint and nearly 10,000 yuan in cash. When he and his wife struggled to escape from the inferno, they were both severely burned. Fortunately, their one-year-old daughter had been taken out to play by a neighbor before the fire started and was saved from the disaster.
He suffered burns on 90% of his body, with only the skin on his feet remaining unscathed. His wife also sustained burns over 60% of her body.
Lying in the burn ward of the hospital, his heart was in agony. Within just five days of hospitalization, he had spent 60,000 yuan. All this money had been borrowed from relatives and friends. Although some kind-hearted people who heard about their plight had donated some money, it was a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of thousands of yuan needed for their treatment.
His family was from the countryside and had no money. The cost of his treatment was far beyond what any rural family could afford. He realized that it was time for him to make a decision. Instead of both of them dying, it would be better to concentrate the money on saving one. And their daughter was still young and couldn’t be without her mother…
So, he began to ask the doctors to stop his medication and let him go home, and the truth had to be kept from his wife. After repeated failed attempts to raise more money, his family reluctantly agreed with tears in their eyes.
Thus, this young man suddenly had to face death, to leave his beloved wife and daughter forever. He felt heartbroken but helpless. It was as if his heart, not just his skin, had been burned. However, he felt relieved to exchange his life for his wife’s survival, knowing this was the only thing he could do for her.
Before leaving, he made one last request to his family and the hospital: to see his beloved wife one last time and to touch her just once more.
Lying on the stretcher, his severely injured hand trembled as it reached out—burned and scarred, it seemed to span centuries before finally touching his wife’s equally painful hand. This heart-wrenching scene was unbearable for those present.
Under his prearranged plan, his wife believed he was being transferred to another hospital for treatment, thinking this was just a brief separation. Even so, she couldn’t stop herself from crying out loud, and everyone around covered their faces in tears. At this moment, only he calmly comforted his wife, “Don’t cry, I’ll get better, we’ll reopen the shop and live our lives…”
His tears started when he left the hospital. Along the way, tears mixed with blood flowed down his face.
Four days later, he passed away at the age of 28.
His wife was still in the hospital undergoing treatment, unaware that her husband had passed away. She still believed he was “getting better” and eagerly awaited the day they could start a new life together.
