When I first met him
He is paraplegic
Despite the objections of relatives and friends
She resolutely entered the palace of marriage
Carry the burden of caring for a disabled husband with weak shoulders
It has been more than 50 years
Their love touched many people
When you are young
Duan Zhaoyi is a female military doctor
Her whole life
It's care, it's also companionship

April 1968
Gu Weili, 25, was involved in the construction of defense facilities
Encountered landslides
He led his comrades into the cave to escape the danger
The security officer shouted danger
He looked up
A stone suddenly cracked
Gu Weili pushed the comrades next to him away with force
Huge stones fell in an instant
Gu Weili was taken to the hospital
Head, arms, legs... Injuries were made in 15 places throughout the body
Comminuted fracture of the lumbar spine
After three days of rescue, he was transferred to the surgical ward where Duan Zhaoyi worked

Gu Weili still remembered clearly
As soon as Duan Zhaoyi came, he sat directly at his bedside
So natural, so gracious
It made him feel very warm as he was suffering from pain

During hospitalization
Gu Weili insisted on rehabilitation training
Looking forward to getting up and returning to the army
However, after several treatments
Gu Weili's later life can no longer leave the wheelchair
His emotions
It also fell to the bottom
At this time
Duan Zhaoyi constantly encouraged him
Fight the wounded
Believe that you will be able to stand up
This comradely friendship
Let Gu Weili quickly cheer up
In Duan Zhaoyi's eyes
Gu Weili is a hero
She expressed her love for her hero through a long letter
Hope to take care of him
Give him a sweet love and a happy family

In 1970
The two are married
After that, Duan Zhaoyi and her husband Gu Weili came to Tianjin
Since then, they have been dependent on each other for more than 50 years
He also had two sons
As we age
Gu Weili's back injury became more and more serious
Resulting from long-term paraplegia
Refractory neuralgia, repeated chronic ulcers, inability to take care of oneself in the bowel and bladder...
Complete one's misery
In 2018
Their eldest son died of a sudden illness
For a moment, it was impossible to withstand the blow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired person
Gu Weili suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage
Already paraplegic, he suffered from hemiplegia
The same painful Duan Zhaoyi
While taking care of his wife
Resolutely decided
Donate useful organs from the eldest son
Helping those in need

More than 50 years
Their love
It is care, it is companionship, it is giving
Never complained
Never thought to ask
"Over the years I've developed the habit of rarely sitting down
Usually eating is standing
It is just for the convenience of taking care of him at any time
I'm willing to do his legs, his hands
Hand in hand and keep going"
