"There is nothing to repay, you can only promise each other with your body" This sentence we often see in film and television dramas or novels.
All the contents of this article are official and reliable sources, and the specific information is detailed at the end of the article.
In today's society, few people will really put this sentence into their lives, after all, starting a family is a very important thing.
But in Weifang, Shandong, a woman fell in love with the old Chinese medicine doctor after being treated by the old Chinese medicine doctor.
What's even worse is that the difference between the woman and the old Chinese medicine doctor is as much as 50 years old.
In the end, despite the opposition of her parents, the woman insisted on marrying the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Why does the woman have to marry him, and will the married life of the two really be happy?
Acquaintance and acquaintance due to illness
We often say that "age is not distance", as long as people who love each other, even if there is a difference in age, they can overcome it.
But if the age difference of this love is 50 years, how many people can accept it.
There is a female college student in Weifang, Shandong, who doesn't love a young man of the same age, but falls in love with an old Chinese medicine doctor who is 50 years older than her.
The origin of the fate of the two was actually because of seeing a doctor.
A few years ago, 18-year-old Han Shilan was facing the first hurdle in his life - the college entrance examination, but he did not expect to suffer from lupus erythematosus at this time.
This disease can be said to be very rare, and it is a disease of the immune system, so the probability of cure is extremely low.
Since suffering from lupus erythematosus, her health has deteriorated, and she has to endure endless pain almost every day.
Her parents were also heartbroken for her, and took her to various well-known hospitals for treatment.
It's just a pity that these doctors can't cure her illness and can only reluctantly prescribe some medication to relieve her symptoms and save her from pain.
Just when the whole family was about to fall into despair, a friend said that there was an old Chinese medicine doctor in the neighboring village named Li Yi.
He has been practicing medicine for decades, and his medical skills are very good, so he recommends that Han's father can take his daughter to see it.
Han's father and Han's mother, who were unwilling to give up hope, soon took Han Shilan to find Li Yi.
After some diagnosis, Li Yi found that her symptoms were not very serious, and as long as she cooperated with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, she was likely to be cured.
With this hope, the family of three is very happy, but the husband and wife are also in a dilemma.
They had spent all their family savings in order to see a doctor, and looking at Li Yi, the couple didn't know what to say.
As if sensing the dilemma of the husband and wife, Li Yi offered to reduce part of the consultation fee, and the cost of acupuncture was also cheap for her to calculate.
The husband and wife were very grateful, and thanked Li Yi again and again, and from this day on, Han Shilan came to the door for treatment every day.
As the two gradually contacted and communicated, Han Shilan began to be attracted to Li Yi, and in her eyes, she saw the other party's superb medical skills and profound knowledge.
In particular, Li Yi, who is nearly 70 years old, is not as stubborn as other old men, he is very open-minded, humorous, and his daily life is full of fun.
In addition, Li Yi traveled everywhere when she was young, and she has unique insights into history and geography, and what she often says can make her feel yearning.
Under such communication, she noticed that her feelings for the other party had changed, and she tasted love.
It's a pity that this taste is very bitter, because she has a crush on the other party, and she also knows that the gap between the other party and herself is too big, and it is impossible to have results.
But she didn't know that Li Yi also had different feelings for her.
The lively and cheerful Han Shilan never gave up in the face of the torture of illness, and his tenacious vitality made him feel moved, and he also admired her very much.
In the process of getting along with the two, his eyes were also attracted by this kind young girl, but he knew that it was impossible for the two, so he buried this affection in his heart.
Pierce the window paper
After the treatment, Han Shilan recovered as he wished, which means that the two will not have the opportunity to meet.
Perhaps thinking about this, Li Yi finally mustered up the courage and expressed his heart to Han Shilan.
Looking at the gentle Li Yi in front of her, she said what she wanted to hear the most, she couldn't suppress her situation anymore, and hugged Li Yi tightly.
For secular reasons, the two did not make their relationship public.
Although it is an underground relationship, the two still feel the sweetness of love, Han Shilan often goes to accompany Li Yi, and the two will secretly date in their spare time.
It's a pity that the paper didn't cover the fire after all, and the families of both sides knew about the relationship between the two, and both families exploded.
Although Han's father and Han's mother thanked Li Yi for saving their daughter, they couldn't accept that the two were together.
Li Yi's eldest son is almost 50 years old, and he can't accept this "little mother" who is about the same age as his daughter.
Under the obstruction of the families of both parties, this relationship ended without a hitch, Han Shilan went to college, Li Yi stayed in the clinic, and the two never saw each other again.
As the time of separation became heavier, Han Shilan's body began to deteriorate sharply, and he was riddled with various diseases.
In desperation, Han's father and Han's mother could only send their daughter to Li Yi's side for treatment, but they strictly guarded the two, and they were worried that the old relationship between the two would rekindle.
The two who were originally ready to let go of their feelings, this meeting, the fire of longing burned all their senses, and behind their families, the two were secretly together again.
Looking at his haggard lover, Li Yi was reluctant to let go of his hands, and at Han Shilan's suggestion, the two secretly received a marriage certificate.
And without the attention of the families of both sides, they secretly packed their luggage and belongings, left Weifang, and went to live in other cities.
Knowing that the two of them left, the two families were about to explode, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After leaving, Li Yi reopened a clinic in a new city, and the two lived very happily, and it didn't take long for Han Shilan to become pregnant and give birth to his second son.
With the existence of this son, Han Shilan hoped that his parents would accept them, so he went home.
Knowing that the two could not be separated, Han's father and Han's mother could only compromise, and at the request of the two, Li Yi bought a house in the name of Han Shilan.
When the days gradually calmed down, Li Yi's eldest son had a cerebral infarction because of a quarrel with his wife, and the marriage broke down.
Unwilling to embarrass her husband, Han Shilan offered to take her eldest son into their home and let her take care of her stepson's life.
At first, the eldest son was unwilling, but under Han Shilan's repeated requests, he compromised, and at the same time apologized to Han Shilan for his past wrongdoings.
Now the family lives happily together, and the husband and wife often do free clinics to help more patients.
As the youngest son grows older and older, Han Shilan also shares his family's life on the media.
This period of old husbands and young wives, who are half a century apart, has also become the focus of everyone's attention.
epilogue
Since announcing their love story, they have been abused and questioned by many people.
But there is such a thing as feelings, cold and warm self-knowing, others are not used to it, and life is for themselves.
I just hope that the two of them can go on as they wish and not let themselves regret it.
