Preface
When my sister is hospitalized due to illness, it should be a time for family reunion and facing together. However, the parents chose to say goodbye and leave at this critical moment. In order to find his lost parents, the elder brother accidentally leads to a secret that has been hidden for many years. What made parents choose to leave in times of crisis?
Alone, with a heavy burden on your shoulders
April 2008 was the time of the blooming sunshine of spring. For Liu Mingkang, a sophomore at Chaohu University in Anhui Province, now is the golden age to concentrate on his studies. He is eager to change the fate of himself and his family through his continuous efforts.
However, a sudden phone call shattered all his good expectations. It turned out that his sister Liu Yongmei, who was being treated for leukemia in the hospital, informed him that his parents had been missing for two days. They didn't say goodbye, leaving only 1,000 yuan. This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, instantly shattering Liu Mingdare's heart.
He didn't understand how his parents could ruthlessly leave their dying daughter behind, which was very different from the image of parents he knew. In order to find out the truth, Liu Mingdang could only end his short school career early and return to his hometown to investigate the truth. However, even greater storms awaited him. The villagers' voices made him realize that the secret of this family may be far more complicated than he imagined......
Grapevine, confusing
After returning to his hometown, Liu Mingdang soon discovered that this trip may not be a simple trip to find relatives. Because, various rumors about his biological mother have quietly spread among the villagers.
Liu Mingdang felt extremely shocked and desperate. He thought it was just a joke made up by the villagers when they were bored. But as he investigates further, the truth of these rumors seems to be slowly emerging: his parents are really not his biological parents.
The emergence of this possibility made Liu Mingdang's whole person fall into chaos and struggle. He didn't know how to face this cruel truth. Because it means that he may have been living in an absurd lie.
But after thinking about it, my sister was struggling to support herself in the hospital at this time. He had no time to waste on these issues. So Liu Ming dared to put all his attention on raising medical expenses for his sister, which was the most urgent issue at the moment. However, when he contacted his aunt, who worked in Nanjing, the strange attitude of this aunt once again made him vaguely realize that things may be far from simple......
It's suspicious
Auntie's reaction did indeed ring the alarm in Liu Mingdare's heart. Because, when he mentioned the news of his parents' disappearance, his aunt was obviously hesitant and had an extremely abnormal attitude. This made Liu Mingdare immediately realize that the aunt was likely to know some inside information. Even, his missing parents were in Nanjing! With the mentality of giving it a try, Liu Mingdang resolutely decided to go to Nanjing to investigate on the spot.
However, what Liu Mingdang never expected was that the aunt not only strongly denied that she had seen her parents, but even claimed that she never knew that they would be in Nanjing. This resolute denial instantly made Liu Ming dare to fall from the peak of hope into the abyss of despair.
Just as he was about to leave Nanjing in discouragement, an unexpected person pointed out the dawn of hope for him. It turned out that a distant relative in Nanjing had seen Liu Mingkang's parents! After learning this key information, Liu Mingkang summoned up all his courage and hope, and decided to confront his aunt again. He had to get to the bottom of it. His parents are in Nanjing, this is an indisputable fact!
In the face of Liu Mingda's questioning, the aunt no longer denied it at this time. But she said she did not know the whereabouts of her parents. This was enough for Liu Mingda, and he believed that his aunt would do her best to help find it. However, just as hope was rising, another piece of bad news followed......
Bad news followed, and the dragons were leaderless
When Liu Ming dared to wait for his parents to appear with hope, bad news suddenly came. It turned out that when he was not in the hospital, his sister Liu Yongmei's condition deteriorated. The leukemia began to enter the terminal stage, and she was weak and her life was in danger.
This sudden change instantly made Liu Ming dare at a loss. At a loss, he called his aunt and urged her to find her parents as soon as possible. Because now this home is in dire need of a pillar. His sister is dying, and he desperately needs the support of his parents to face the panic of the unknown.
At a critical juncture, my aunt finally brought good news. She found Liu Mingkang's parents! Liu Mingkang, who got the news, was very excited. He can't wait to run to where his parents are, wanting to find out all the truth, but also hoping to get their support.
When Liu Ming dared to see his parents, all three of them burst into tears. The parents apologized repeatedly, and Liu Mingdang finally asked the question that had been bothering him......
The truth is revealed, and there is a mixture of joy and sorrow
"Why do you want to leave your daughter behind, but protect me, someone else's child?" This question is the most desperate and painful place for Liu Ming to dare to come along the way. He thought that how could his parents, whose blood was thicker than water, be willing to abandon their own flesh and blood and ignore their children? Could it be that the rumors made up by the villagers were really the truth?
In the face of Liu Mingdare's questioning, his parents were silent. Their silence, however, speaks to the truth. It turned out that Liu Mingdang was really not their own child. He was adopted by his parents from someone else's family.
The moment he learned the truth, Liu Mingdang's whole world collapsed. He suddenly realized that the soil on which he lived was built on a lie. This fact was so cruel that he couldn't face and accept it for a while.
But soon, the parents told the truth about the second half of the story. It turned out that Liu Mingkang's biological parents were too poor to raise him. That's why they had to give Liu Mingdang in infancy to others to raise. And his adoptive parents have always regarded him as their own and treated him as their own child.
Knowing these inside scenes, Liu Mingdare gradually calmed down. He realized that blood relationship is important, but the nurturing grace of his parents over the years must not be ignored. Now is not the time to think about this, they need to unite and treat Liu Yongmei, who is dying.
Under Liu Mingda's repeated persistent persuasion, his parents finally agreed to return to the hospital to take care of Liu Yongmei. In this way, this fragmented family was finally reunited......
The reunion reverses, and the nightmare returns
The family who returned to the hospital was still immersed in the joy of reunion after a long absence. They thought they had gone through all this ups and downs, and the darkest hour had passed. However, fate showed no mercy and dealt them an even more fatal blow.
Doctors hope to give Liu Yongmei a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible, which is the last hope to save her. And Liu Mingdang did not hesitate to volunteer, hoping to donate bone marrow for his sister.
Although the two were not biological, the doctor agreed to conduct a matching test first. However, to everyone's shock, the match between the two is as high as five points, which fully meets the standard of immediate family members!
It was nothing short of a miracle and everyone was moved. Heaven seemed to favor the poor family and showed them a glimmer of hope. However, just when everyone was crying with joy, the bad news came again.
It turned out that Liu Ming dared to suffer from a serious hemangioma and could not undergo donation surgery! This blow was like a thunderbolt from the sky, causing the family, who had seen the life-saving straw, to fall into the abyss again. Doctors said they would try to find other cord blood for Ms. Liu, but there was little hope.
Fortunately, in the follow-up search, the hospital finally found a suitable matching cord blood sample in Beijing. For Liu Yongmei, who is dying, this is the only straw that saves her life. However, the cost of this expensive surgery is astronomical for the family.
At this time, it may be the time for Heaven to provide. Because enthusiastic netizens and reporters in the society have extended a helping hand to the poor family. Finally, with the unity of all people, Liu Yongmei completed the transplant and was finally discharged from the hospital.
A torrent of miracles, reborn from the ashes
After so many ups and downs, so many alternations of despair and hope, Liu Ming dared them to finally get out of the wave of fate that was needle-to-wheat. After so many life-and-death battles, a miracle finally happened.
Liu Yongmei successfully underwent a transplant and eventually overcame a terminal illness. When she happily walked out of the ward and smiled brightly in the sun, everyone was sincerely happy for her.
Liu Mingdare rubbed his young sister and smiled with satisfaction. Yes, it is very important that blood is thicker than water, but in the face of life and death, the bonds of friendship and tolerance between people are the greatest strength in the world.
epilogue
