On January 8, Li Kunming, a resident of Chengtanjiang Town, as usual, got up and put on a basin of hot water, came to the side of his 87-year-old father Li Xiyong, lifted the old man up, took off his clothes, carefully wiped his father with a towel, and then served the old man to get dressed, take medicine, brush his teeth, eat breakfast... Li Kunming's day began.

In 2012, Li Xiyong suffered from hemiplegia, and Li Kunming and his wife Tao Aihua took care of their paralyzed father in bed for ten years, practicing filial piety and love for the elderly with practical actions, and accompanying him to enjoy his old age.

The father was ill for 10 years, and the son gave up business care

There is also a filial piety in front of the long bedside - between 2010 and 2012, Li Kunming's parents suffered from sudden cerebral infarction due to high blood pressure. Although Li Kunming also has an older brother and younger brother, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility of caring for his parents and took all the medical expenses.

In order to take care of the elderly, Li Kunming gave up his original business and concentrated on taking care of his parents at home. Because the two elderly people were paralyzed and bedridden and needed to take medicine every day, and they also had to find doctors to check on them regularly, the Li Kunming family, which had no source of income, became more and more economically tense.

In order to maintain his family life, Li Kunming took advantage of his business, spending half of his month out running fireworks sales business and half of his time at home caring for his parents who were paralyzed. When Li Kunming was not at home, the life of the two old people was that of his wife Tao Aihua. After the death of their mother in 2017, Li Kunming and his wife concentrated on taking care of their father and enjoying his old age with him.

Recently, when the reporter came to Li Kunming's home, his father sat on a chair next to the bed and snoozed, and the old man's clothes were clean and tidy. The room did not have any peculiar smell, but there was a faint aroma, and the quilt was neatly folded.

The reporter noticed that there were several pieces of clothing hanging next to the stove in another room, "all of which were just changed and washed for the elderly in the morning." Li Kunming said that the weather is relatively wet and cold, and the clothes are not easy to dry, "baked in the stove, and dried the next morning." ”

"Taking care of my father is like he was raising me"

"I take care of my father now, just as my father raised me when I was a child." Due to his father's inability to move, he could not take care of himself in life, eating and drinking Lasa in the bedroom, and taking care of his father wholeheartedly became the daily life of Li Kunming and his wife.

His father urinated irregularly, and Li Kunming and his wife did not dare to sleep soundly at night in order to be on call; his father also liked to drink tea, and every morning, Tao Aihua brewed a pot of tea and sent it to his room.

Because of his illness and old age, Li Xiyong was particularly afraid of the cold, and except for summer, he had to roast the fire in other seasons. Every morning, Mr. Li Kunming made a good fire and waited for his father to get up and help him over. In order to ensure his father's heating, he used to buy 2 tons of firewood a year. Today, Li Kunming's children have all worked and their living conditions have improved, and Li Kunming has installed air conditioning in his father's room, and since then, the air conditioning in Li Xiyong's room has not been interrupted.

In order to keep up with the nutrition of the elderly, Tao Aihua changed the pattern to cook for the elderly, "the eggs are steamed and eaten, boiled and eaten, add some minced meat, put some greens, and feed them to the elderly in one bite." Li Kunming said that not only do they need to take care of their fathers like children in life, but with the passage of time, the father's emotions are becoming more and more like children, "inseparable from people." On August 3, 2021, Li Kunming's niece was born, and after the couple entrusted their father to the care of their niece, they rushed to Liuyang to visit their daughter and children. Because they could not rest assured of their father, the two of them rushed home after lunch. "It's like a kid, if we go out for a little longer, he'll call and ask." Li Kunming said.

After ten years of taking good care of his father, Li Kunming did not complain in the slightest: "This is what a son should do, nothing remarkable." Li Kunming said that he was raised by his parents' hard work, "My father is now older, I should take care of his life like he raised me." ”
