In April 2019, on a sunny day, Song Xuewen was optimistic and devoted himself to his busy work as usual. However, who would have foreseen that this day would be the ultimate stop of his life's journey.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Song Xuewen suddenly felt a strong cough. Immediately after, he coughed up a large mouthful of bright red blood clots, which felt as painful as if his internal organs were about to be coughed out.
Blood churned in his mouth, making him feel sick and vomit.
When his colleagues saw this, they were immediately frightened, and immediately stepped forward to support him, and quickly dialed the 120 emergency number.
The ambulance came at a gallop, but Song Xuewen's condition was so serious that it was worrying. His whole body trembled, his hands waving wildly in the air, and his mouth let out a groan of pain, as if the pain had reached the limit of what he could bear.
Paramedics hurriedly lifted him into an ambulance and, in the last ray of his life, sped to the nearest hospital.
Although the doctors tried their best to treat him, the flame of Song Xuewen's life was gradually extinguished. As night fell, he closed his eyes forever and said goodbye to this world.
At that time, he was only 43 years old, which was the age when he should shelter his wife and children.
Song Xuewen's death was so sudden that he didn't even leave any last words. When the bad news arrived, his wife, Yang Guang, and their young son were drowned in tears of shock and grief.
As Song Xuewen's closest people, they really can't accept this cruel reality.
Song Xuewen's parents were also hit hard after learning the bad news and burst into tears. Seeing that the son they had worked so hard to cultivate since childhood passed away so easily, they had mixed feelings in their hearts and it was difficult to express them in words.
Having lost the pillar of the family, the Song family was full of grief. Song Xuewen's death was so sudden that he couldn't even see his family for the last time, and this regret will always remain in their hearts.
In 1976, Song Xuewen was born in a poor rural family in Jiaohe City, Jilin Province. Although the parents do not have a high level of education, they always attach great importance to their children's education and expect their sons to change their destiny through diligent study.
Song Xuewen has performed well since he was a child, which made his parents full of expectations for him. In 1994, 18-year-old Song Xuewen finally lived up to expectations and was successfully admitted to a chemical plant in Jilin City and became a glorious regular employee.
As a child who was once born in a poor rural area, Song Xuewen has successfully achieved an admirable career with his endless efforts and hard work, which is undoubtedly an important milestone on the road of his life full of tenacity and struggle, and it is also a glorious moment for the whole family to be proud of!
Rewind time to that cold and windy winter morning in 1996, Song Xuewen walked into the construction site early as usual, ready to meet the busy tasks of the new day. However, on that day, the frozen land of Jilin fell with goose feathers and heavy snow, wrapping the entire city in silver.
As a diligent and enterprising young man, Song Xuewen did not have too many doubts about this, but naturally put this precious bracelet in his trouser pocket temporarily, and planned to ask his colleagues around him during his lunch break if anyone had lost such valuables.
However, just as the morning's work had just begun, Song Xuewen suddenly felt a strong headache attacking, like a sharp sword turning over the river and the sea in his brain. This was followed by bouts of nausea and vomiting discomfort, general weakness, and soreness in the limbs.
As a strong young man, Song Xuewen has always had a healthy body, why did he suddenly become so weak? The colleagues next to him saw that he was pale and vomited, and mistakenly thought that he was just suffering from a common cold, so they advised him to go back to the dormitory first to rest for a while.
Song Xuewen had no choice but to follow the advice of his colleagues and returned to his room with difficulty. However, the situation deteriorated rapidly, and he felt dizzy, his vision blurred, and his whole body seemed to be stabbed by countless thin needles at the same time, and the pain was unbearable.
He had no time to worry about anything else, so he could only climb down the stairs from the sixth floor with all his might, shouting for help.
When colleagues rushed to the scene when they heard the news, they couldn't help but look panicked when they saw Song Xuewen's painful appearance. They immediately carried Song Xuewen back to the room, and the leader of Song Xuewen's group also rushed over to check on his condition in person.
Song Xuewen described his illness intermittently, specifically mentioning the severe pain in his right lower limb.
The group leader was stunned when he heard this, his face changed instantly, and he asked anxiously: "Have you found some kind of metal product?" Song Xuewen bowed slightly, indicating that he had indeed picked up a dazzling bracelet.
The leader was immediately shocked, and his face showed a look of panic.
The situation was critical, and the leader immediately issued an order, requiring all personnel present to evacuate the scene immediately, and at the same time dialing the 120 emergency number.
Song Xuewen, who was rushed to Beijing 307 Hospital, continued to deteriorate.
Song Xuewen survived such a difficult challenge for two full years, went through the torture of 7 major surgeries, and accumulated an astonishing 48 hours of surgery! With his own hands, he bravely fought a life-and-death contest with death.
In the first operation, Song Xuewen's right leg was amputated. However, the radioactive material still stubbornly eroded his body, and the doctors were forced to immediately amputate his left leg!
However, this nightmare did not end there, and the terrifying radiation continued to eat away at Song Xuewen's body. Soon after, his left arm was also severely damaged by radiation and had to be amputated, leaving his right arm as his only means of survival.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the young Song Xuewen. He was once ambitious and high-spirited, but now he is reduced to a disabled person with incomplete limbs, who can only rely on a wheelchair to move around, and is completely unable to take care of himself.
After the operation, the healthy young man, who originally weighed more than 100 kilograms, plummeted to 58 kilograms, with a skeletal shape and a haggard complexion. The once heroic and fearless figure is now only an empty shell.
However, the haze of the nightmare has not yet dissipated. Complications of nuclear radiation are pouring in, such as severe osteoporosis, radiation-induced liver disease, radiation cataracts, diabetes and other diseases, all of which threaten Song Xuewen's fragile life.
What is even more frightening is that the doctors found that the nuclear radiation may have destroyed Song Xuewen's reproductive ability, and he will forever lose the possibility of starting a family! Faced with these cruel facts, Song Xuewen began to lose confidence in life, and even had the idea of suicide for a time.
Seeing his parents in tears, and the once warm home is now only full of devastation, Song Xuewen was in pain in his heart, and guilt and self-blame almost made him go crazy.
In those endless dark nights, he lay alone on his hospital bed and wept silently.
Just when he was on the verge of despair, Song Xuewen dialed a string of unfamiliar phone numbers, eager to find the dawn of life. Fortunately, instead of being hung up mercilessly, the gentle and affectionate voice of a woman was heard.
The lady on the other end of the phone was named Yang Guang, an energetic and enthusiastic young teacher. Through long-term and in-depth interactions, they have changed from strangers to confidants and friends who talk about everything, and their emotions are gradually heating up.
Despite the repeated dissuasion of his family and friends, Yang Guang still firmly chose to spend the rest of his life with Song Xuewen. For Song Xuewen, who has experienced the test of life and death, Yang Guang is like a dawn that illuminates a dark life, warming his once wounded heart.
Yang Guang devoted himself to supporting Song Xuewen, giving him love and encouragement that he had never experienced. Under the guidance of Yang Guang, Song Xuewen finally regained his confidence and courage in life.
He knows that only by being strong and alive can he bring the greatest comfort to his loved ones.
In order to support the daily life of a family of three, Song Xuewen received up to 1.8 million yuan in compensation by winning the lawsuit. However, this seemingly generous amount of money is actually only enough to support their basic living expenses in the future and cope with the persistently high medical bills.
After many consultations, Song Xuewen finally decided to use the money to start a small kindergarten in his hometown of Jilin City. As a former ordinary worker, being able to have a school of his own is undoubtedly a new starting point in Song Xuewen's life.
After the establishment of the kindergarten, Song Xuewen often came to the campus in person to appreciate the innocent and lovely smiles of the children. Whenever he saw the carefree appearance of these children, Song Xuewen's heart would be filled with endless warmth.
What made Song Xuewen even more ecstatic was the good news that Yang Guang came from in 2015 - she was pregnant! Although as a victim of nuclear radiation, Song Xuewen has always been worried about whether he can have children after marriage to continue the family bloodline, but his wife's pregnancy undoubtedly brought him great surprises and expectations.
In order to ensure that the fetus was not affected by the residue of nuclear radiation, Song Xuewen was always on high alert during Yang Guang's pregnancy, and they had to go to the hospital frequently for comprehensive examinations.
Luckily, in the end, everything went well, and they welcomed a new member of the family - a lively and cute boy.
When Song Xuewen picked up his son for the first time, his tears couldn't stop falling. This is the most precious gift that God has given him, and it is the selfless care of fate for him. Since then, he is no longer alone in the dark, but with his wife and son by his side, life has finally shone brightly.
Song Xuewen's encounter quickly attracted great attention from the whole society, and a large number of media rushed to the scene to interview and report, and even the famous director couldn't wait to get in touch with him, hoping to put this touching story on the screen, and sincerely invited him to play the starring role.
Finally, in 2001, a film "Stand Up" based on Song Xuewen's real life was grandly released in major theaters across the country, which instantly detonated the audience's movie-watching craze and received rave reviews!
This film not only made the audience deeply aware of the huge harm caused by nuclear radiation, but also deeply moved by Song Xuewen's perseverance and willpower. As he himself said: "In my life, I have both regrets and no regrets."
After a lot of hardships, he finally ushered in his own happy life and spent the rest of his life hand in hand with true love.
