In the Wanggezhuang Street Venue Community in Laoshan District, there is a well-known 73-year-old man Du Qinggong, who has been taking care of his paralyzed wife day and night for sixteen years, sharing the physical and mental pain of his wife with the love of each other, so that his wife can only lie down to sit up, and now she can stand up and take a few steps, seemingly simple actions, but it took Du Qinggong a long time from green silk to white hair. He and his wife have been dependent on each other for more than 40 years, making a lifelong commitment to support the happiness of the family. A few days ago, Du Qinggong was awarded the "Civilized Citizen" of Qingdao City in January.

Du Qinggong cooked the meals that his wife liked to eat.

His wife suddenly fell ill and he guarded day and night

More than 40 years ago, Du Qinggong and his wife Liu Guiqin were happily married. Du Qinggong is mature and stable, Liu Guiqin is gentle and gentle, the two have deep feelings, and they have gotten along well for many years and have a harmonious family. Who knows, the originally happy and carefree family has changed. In May 2005, Du Qinggong, who was doing farm work at home, suddenly received a call from his wife's unit, saying that her wife had been admitted to the hospital for a sudden illness. When Du Qinggong rushed to the Wanggezhuang Street Community Health Service Center, he was told that he needed to be transferred to the hospital immediately, and the preliminary diagnosis was that his wife had a cerebral vascular rupture. Du Qinggong, who was well aware of the seriousness of the situation, did not dare to delay, and immediately took his wife to the Eighth People's Hospital, where he underwent craniotomy in the afternoon of the same day, and stayed in the hospital for more than 40 days. Du Qinggong accompanied and took good care of him day and night, and the following month, his wife underwent another operation, and although she finally saved her life, her limbs were paralyzed.

Guiqin, who had just returned home from the hospital, was weak, her limbs could not move, she could only lie down, and she basically did not know anything in her consciousness. Seeing such a guiqin, many neighbors said to give up, but I have always had a belief in my heart, firmly believe that guiqin can be treated, can be better than now. Since then, Du Qinggong began to devote himself to helping his wife recover, looking for famous doctors and finding prescriptions everywhere, as long as he heard that the rehabilitation treatment was done well, he would go to the doctor.

At first, Du Qinggong found a good acupuncture doctor from Jimo, he rode a motorcycle back and forth to pick up the doctor every day, dozens of miles of road, several months of treatment, rain or shine, and ran all the way without complaint. Later, Du Qinggong hired a doctor from the hospital and continued to run day and night for several months, asking the doctor to treat his wife. In these years, Du Qingfu has used countless rushes to support his wife's dream of rehabilitation, and has also expressed their deep affection with day and night protection.

The "Almighty Husband" creates a miracle of recovery

Looking at his wife who was tormented by illness, Du Qinggong kept all her sadness in her heart and encouraged her to actively treat and live every day. The "abandonment" of others' kind persuasion was regarded by Du Qinggong as a "wind in his ears", and he sought miracles under the support of faith, and gave his wife greater hope with love and responsibility.

From the onset of his wife's illness, Du Qinggong took over the burden of the family, not only to be busy with various chores, but also to spare no effort to help his wife recover. His daily life was full, he did not dare to get sick, did not dare to go out, and his heart was fully devoted to taking care of his wife, helping her to dress, wash, eat, wash, and do rehabilitation, and he did the same thing day after day, and the wordless love was all crushed in the details of life.

Sick for so many years, my wife has been clean, there is no smell at home, and there are no pressure sores on her body. Miracles are always reserved for those who have hope, and after 16 years of careful care, the wife has indeed changed, and her right and right legs have gradually regained some of their function, from the initial lying flat to being able to sit up. When Du Qinggong saw his wife successfully sit up for the first time, he couldn't help but burst into tears, which strengthened his determination to continue to help his wife recover.

His wife's illness made the family's living burden increasingly heavy, and also limited rehabilitation training, but Du Qinggong was not discouraged. "The small yard of the family has become a rehabilitation field, and I can't afford to buy rehabilitation equipment, so I will make my own 'soil equipment', pull ropes, fitness racks, crutches, one by one with the continuous changes in the rehabilitation plan." Du Qinggong made a fitness rack 6 meters long, a circle is 12 meters, at most a day can turn 70 times a day, he took his wife on this fitness rack, a walk is more than ten years.

16 years finally exchanged for "a few steps of luxury"

Picked up from the wheelchair, into the house, put down again... Du Qinggong has to take care of his wife more than a dozen times a day, and as he gets older, his health is getting worse and worse, his shoulders and ribs are injured, and he used to be able to push his wife from home to the beach, but now he can't push it. But the belief in helping his wife recover has not been dispelled for a day. "I have to insist, no matter how tired I am, I must insist on exercising for her, I can eat more when I exercise, and my body skills can slowly recover and get better, and I can live for a few more years. Du Qinggong said the most anticipated wish in his heart.

After more than 40 years of staying together, Du Qinggong and his wife have a tacit understanding: a look, an action, Du Qinggong knows what his wife needs and where it is uncomfortable. "My wife was very good to me, eating, drinking, dressing, exercising, always very patient, never said tired, did not complain. I am very grateful in my heart, and I will try to cooperate with the recovery, so that he can worry less, relax and be happier. Liu Guiqin's eyes smiled. Now that she can stand up and take a few steps against the wall, the couple is a long-awaited, full of joy, and even a few steps that they once dared not ask for, and it is a few steps that Du Qinggong has taken day and night to persevere and pay, and each step is deeply moving.

On the long road of rehabilitation that has not been abandoned for 16 years, Du Qinggong has watered the flower of hope with wholehearted true feelings, interpreted love and affection with uncomplaining and regretless efforts, and also exchanged his wife's daily recovery returns.
