The 25-year-old Bauhinia sat quietly in her study, the sunlight slowly seeping through the cracks in the curtains, like a pair of gentle hands caressing her cheeks. The book in her hand had been quietly closed, and she looked up at the swaying green figure of the plane tree outside the window, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted into the distance.
Her memories go back to that hot summer day 11 years ago, the most difficult moment of her life. She was only 14 years old at the time, and she was supposed to enjoy her last girlhood to the fullest. However, fate ruthlessly struck her with a hammer - she was diagnosed with leukemia.
Faced with the approach of death, her mother, Niu Qinghua, did not hesitate to give everything she had to raise the huge cost of the operation for her. At that time, Bauhinia was at the most serious stage of her illness, and her body was extremely weak, but she could never forget the tears in her mother's eyes, the deep anxiety and endless struggle for her survival.
She will always remember that her stepfather Wang Lijie made selfless dedication to her, even sacrificing himself.
That summer, Wang Lijie worked tirelessly to travel thousands of miles away to donate blood three times in a row to win a precious source of life for her, and he even planned to sell his property just to keep her hope alive.
Zijing clearly remembers that every time she recalls this scene, there is always a warm current surging in her heart.
Niu Qinghua's ex-husband Wang Changgui is a man who is addicted to alcohol. He indulged in alcohol all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, smashing everything in his home to pieces. Whenever he woke up, he would use violence against Niu Qinghua to vent his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
Niu Qinghua was often bruised by this, but she never revealed these painful experiences to others. She chose to bear it alone, lest she anger the drunken Wang Changgui and make the situation worse.
Sometimes, when Wang Changgui is drunk, he will even fight his young daughter Bauhinia. At this time, Bauhinia could only hide under the bed and shiver, crying bitterly.
Witnessing his daughter's frightened eyes, Niu Qinghua's heart seemed to be torn apart, full of helplessness and anger.
Finally, after several years of alcoholism and abuse, Niu Qinghua mustered up the courage to leave the nightmare home with his daughter. She knew she had to break free for herself and her daughter and embrace a new future.
After experiencing the pain of divorce, Niu Qinghua seems to have fallen into a low ebb in his life. Fortunately, her brother stepped in at the right time and accepted the mother and daughter as family members to devote themselves to the small commodity business to make ends meet.
Although life is still difficult, the life of their mother and daughter has since been freed from the shadow of violence, which has undoubtedly brought them rare peace and calm.
When life seems to be gradually getting on the right track, it is met with a ruthless blow of fate - Bauhinia is only 14 years old and diagnosed with leukemia, and the high cost of surgery makes their lives difficult again.
At that time, Wang Lijie was fishing for a living, and when he learned the sad news, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were full of determination. As Bauhinia's stepfather, he cares for her as if she were his own daughter.
Wang Lijie did not hesitate to choose to make a desperate bet and donated blood for three consecutive times without compensation, winning a precious 2,400 ml of blood resources for Bauhinia. However, this behavior was extremely dangerous, reaching an astonishing record of three times in just two months, and the doctor sternly warned him that he was risking his life.
However, Wang Lijie did not back down because of this, and he only had one thought in his mind, that is, how to raise the cost of the operation for Bauhinia. When he learned that the community had a cash policy for home swaps, he decided to sell the only old house his parents had left behind, even if it meant losing their home.
However, just as Wang Lijie was about to sign the property agreement, the community secretary rushed to stop all this. It turned out that if they sold their house, they would no longer be able to enjoy the local minimum subsistence allowance and would be in a desperate situation.
In the face of such a difficult predicament, Wang Lijie did not lose confidence. With the only 100 yuan left, he risked his life to go to the Dalian Evening News to publish a missing person notice, hoping to find Bauhinia's biological father Wang Changgui in this way.
Sure enough, this notice has attracted wide attention from all walks of life. Soon after, Wang Changgui took the initiative to show up, saying that in order to save his daughter, he was willing to cooperate with Niu Qinghua to give birth to another child and use the umbilical cord blood of the newborn to operate on Bauhinia.
Although Wang Lijie had doubts about this, for the sake of his daughter's life, he finally chose to accept this plan leniently. At his suggestion, Niu Qinghua and Wang Changgui signed an agreement that clearly stipulated that the newborn would be raised by Wang Lijie as if it were his own.
At a time when the family was facing the birth of a new member, a piece of good news from the hospital sounded like spring thunder! We were overjoyed to learn that a selfless and dedicated donor had successfully completed the matching with Bauhinia's bone marrow! Bauhinia was expected to undergo surgery immediately and regain her health! However, in the face of the high cost of surgery of more than 400,000 yuan, the family once again fell into a huge predicament, which was as heavy as a mountain.
When the whole family was at a loss, caring people from all walks of life and charities donated generously, and in just a few days, they successfully raised enough money for Bauhinia's surgery.
Bauhinia was finally able to receive treatment and quickly recover her health, which was a relief for the hard-working parents.
After the surgery, Bauhinia entered the recovery stage. Numerous media reporters flocked to see the admirable mother-daughter couple and delve into their touching stories.
At first, Bauhinia was slightly reserved and shy in front of the camera. It wasn't long before she became disgusted by the unintentional statements of some journalists.
It turned out that when some reporters mentioned Wang Lijie, they always referred to him as "stepfather". These words made the 14-year-old Bauhinia feel deeply uncomfortable, because in her heart, Wang Lijie was her only father.
He not only went all out to make money to treat her, but also gave her endless support and encouragement from the spiritual level. Zijing vividly remembers that whenever she felt hopeless during treatment, Wang Lijie would always tell her firmly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
In an interview, when a reporter mentioned the word "stepfather" again, Bauhinia finally couldn't take it anymore and loudly called on them to stop filming. She was afraid that these words would hurt Wang Lijie's heart and even shed tears.
This scene deeply touched everyone present.
After this life-and-death test, Bauhinia finally ushered in a new life, and her life opened a new chapter.
The painful summer days were gone, and the pain she endured during that time was a thing of the past. However, the deep family affection for Wang Lijie is forever engraved in the depths of Bauhinia's heart.
Since then, she has never regarded Wang Lijie as a "stepfather". In her eyes, he is her real father, the most important and respected relative in her life.
Since then, whether it is Bauhinia as a mother or she has entered the workplace, whenever she faces a crucial choice moment in her life, Wang Lijie's figure will suddenly appear in her mind! For her, Wang Lijie is like a bright light in the night, always guiding her in the direction of progress.
The friendship between these two is incomparably deep, as thick as blood, and even beyond the scope of family affection, it is more pure and precious. It is precisely because of Wang Lijie as a spiritual pillar that Bauhinia was able to regain the hope and courage of life at a time of life and death.
Sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains and fell on the thoughtful face of the 25-year-old Bauhinia. Sometimes she looked out the window, sometimes she looked down at her palm, as if recalling that unforgettable experience.
She will always remember that Wang Lijie, who had selflessly dedicated everything and regarded her as her own daughter. He is the most important relative in her life, and he is the endless motivation to support her determined survival.
No matter where her future life road leads, no matter how tortuous the road ahead is, she will always remember the deep and great love that Wang Lijie gave her.
