Eighty-eight-year-old Jia Jiuxiao sat alone in an empty and lonely room, her eyes pierced through the window lattice, staring at the familiar neighborhood scenery outside the window for a long time, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, reminiscing about the sweet time spent with her long-deceased husband Li Ding.
When I think back to the moment I first met, it is as clear as if it happened yesterday. That opportunity to watch the opera performance made Li Ding deeply fall in love with the beauty of Jia Jiuxiao's simple and lovely bearing, and in an instant he was like a mirror, this was the soul mate given to him by fate.
Leaning against the window, staring at her delicate and gentle face, Li Ding's heart was excited, full of endless passion and expectation.
In order to be able to tie the knot with Jia Jiuxiao, Li Ding mustered up the courage and frankly asked his wife for divorce. Although this decision deeply pierced his wife's heart, she chose to be tolerant and relieved him with a broad mind.
Since then, Li Ding has devoted himself to the pursuit of his favorite Jia Jiuxiao, patiently communicating with the other party, delicately making plans, and looking for ubiquitous opportunities to get close to her. Although the road was long and tortuous, his deep affection for Jia Jiuxiao never wavered in the slightest.
Jia Jiuxiao was also moved by Li Ding's kindness and thoughtfulness, and finally silently accepted his love. With tears in her eyes, she looked shyly at the man she had loved all her life.
So, they held hands and entered a new chapter in their lives. No matter how the wind and rain raged, they always supported each other, loved each other, and spent countless four seasons together.
Jia Jiuxiao cared for Li Ding with her broad maternal love and became the most solid support in his life's journey, while Li Ding used his fiery heart to warm his wife's whole world.
Recalling the moments of the past, Jia Jiuxiao's eyes were hazy with tears, and his heart was full of emotion. She knows that the sweet years of this life are destined to become eternal memories and will never be forgotten.
Dating back to his youth, Li Ding devoted himself to the BGI Art Troupe without hesitation with his love for stage art, and since then he has embarked on the road of drama. Despite his late start, his studious spirit allowed him to complete a course that would normally take five years in just two years, which shows how hard he worked at the time.
After years of hard study in the drama school, Li Ding finally got to know and deeply communicate with Zhang Yimou, a classmate who also has outstanding talents. These two friends, who have met late, respect each other, established a deep friendship, and have been inseparable in campus life, exchanging artistic experiences together, making progress with each other, and constantly surpassing themselves on the road of artistic pursuit.
After graduation, Li Ding quickly rose to become the core force of the troupe with his natural beauty and perfect performance skills, and showed extraordinary charm on stages large and small all over the motherland. Whenever he poured all his energy and hoarsely into bringing wonderful performances to the audience, he always attracted bursts of warm applause and praise.
In order to be able to devote himself to his beloved acting career, Li Ding resolutely gave up his original name "Li Shouhai" and replaced it with "Li Ding" as his stage name. This seemingly random name has become an important symbol of his popularity in the art world.
When he was young, Li Ding had an incomparable love for stage art, unswervingly pursued his ideals, and created a new chapter in his life step by step with his own hands. It seems that fate has already paved the way for him in the shadows, just waiting for him to take a brave step to meet the moment when his dream is realized.
In the process of enjoying an opera, Li Ding was fortunate to meet the partner who would accompany him for the rest of his life - Jia Jiuxiao. Her pure and flawless temperament deeply touched Li Ding, and made him suddenly realize that this was the true destiny that fate had carefully arranged for him. Staring at her elegant and gentle face, his heart was filled with unprecedented passion and expectation.
In order to be able to spend the rest of his life with Jia Jiuxiao, Li Ding mustered up the courage and solemnly and sincerely submitted a request for divorce to his wife. Although this decision undoubtedly deeply hurt his wife's feelings and made her cry and miserable, based on her understanding and magnanimity of Li Ding, she finally chose to fulfill her husband's decision and let him pursue his own happiness.
Since then, Li Ding has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the journey of pursuing his beloved Jia Jiuxiao, patiently communicating with her, carefully planning every detail, and gradually narrowing the distance between them through various ingenious ways. Sometimes, he will deliberately create "accidental" encounters, and sometimes he will carefully prepare all kinds of delicacies for her. Although this road is full of twists and turns, he has always unswervingly adhered to his single-minded feelings for Jia Jiuxiao.
At the beginning, Jia Jiuxiao had no special feelings for Li Ding. In her mind, Li Ding's mediocre appearance and previous marriage experience made it difficult for her to determine whether she possessed the qualities of loyalty and single-mindedness. However, as she slowly got to know each other better, she was surprised to find that Li Ding was such a kind and gentle and delicate man, and every moment she spent with him was full of endless joy.
The fiery sincere emotion in Li Ding's heart finally touched Jia Jiuxiao deeply. One day, she sat alone in the garden, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and silently looked at the person in front of her with a shy but resolute gaze, and gave a silent response.
So, the two held hands and walked towards a new chapter in their lives together. They supported each other and spent countless seasons together.
Soon after their marriage, Li Ding was in trouble because of his adherence to justice and was relegated to a distant Qinghai farm. This sudden bad news hit the newlyweds like a thunderbolt in the sky.
Faced with her husband's difficult situation, relatives and friends around her persuaded Jia Jiuxiao to choose a divorce in order to find a way out for herself.
However, Jia Jiuxiao did not hesitate to reject these suggestions. Her eyes flashed with determination, and she said in a firm tone: "No matter what difficulties he encounters, I will always be by his side." With that, she proudly raised her head and decided to spend time with her lover.
In order to reunite with Li Ding, Jia Jiuxiao gave up his personal comfortable life and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers alone to the remote Qinghai. When the train entered the station, her long-awaited husband slowly walked out of the crowd, and Jia Jiuxiao's tears welled up in her eyes again.
Although Li Ding's face was covered with tired wrinkles after the vicissitudes of life, his eyes were still as bright as ever.
In those difficult days, Li Ding had to go all out to work every day, from the first rays of sunshine in the morning to the last rays of afterglow in the night, his busy figure never stopped. However, even in the darkness of the night, Jia Jiuxiao always silently guarded his side, giving him selfless support and encouragement.
No matter through ups and downs or ice and snow, Jia Jiuxiao always dresses himself up carefully, and encourages Li Ding to move forward firmly with positive spiritual strength. She deeply understands that in order for Li Ding to deeply understand that no matter what kind of predicament she encounters, she must not give up easily, and must work hard and move forward bravely in the face of adversity.
When night fell, when Li Ding returned from hard work, his wife stood there quietly, greeted his tired figure with warm eyes, and carefully helped him into the warm bedroom for a short rest.
It is precisely because of Jia Jiuxiao's company that Li Ding was able to survive tenaciously in an unfamiliar and severe environment. After 12 years of training, he finally regained his freedom, and devoted himself more fully to his acting career, successfully creating many unforgettable classic screen images.
However, fate played a trick on them mercilessly. One day in July 2009, the 83-year-old Li Ding suddenly felt unwell, and after a comprehensive and detailed examination, the doctor solemnly announced a cruel reality - he was at the end of the course of advanced colon cancer, and the light of life was gradually dimming.
This news was as shocking as a thunderbolt in the clear sky, hitting the depths of Li Ding and Jia Jiuxiao's hearts heavily. Facing her husband who was about to die, Jia Jiuxiao was grief-stricken, tears slipped down like broken pearls, her eyes were full of endless despair and helplessness, and she could not bear such a cruel blow of reality.
In order to allow Li Ding to spend his last days peacefully, Jia Jiuxiao endured the severe pain in her heart and did her best to take care of her husband's daily life in the hospital. She took care of him like a newborn baby, changing his clothes, feeding him, cleaning his body, assisting in toileting, etc., fully demonstrating the selflessness and greatness of maternal love.
In order to alleviate Li Ding's pain, Jia Jiuxiao became a storyteller with outstanding narrative talent. She clasped her husband's dry and weak hands, and told him all kinds of interesting anecdotes about life, as if there was an endless amount of words to confide.
Whenever he saw his wife's increasingly thin face, Li Ding's heart was full of guilt, and he said to her solemnly: "In this long and difficult journey of life, I owe you a lot. ”
On July 29, 2009, the world changed color, and Li Ding finally died of kidney failure and passed away quietly at the age of 83. Jia Jiuxiao was in pain, she stared at the home where life was still as usual, and she could not accept the cruel reality of Mr. Li Ding's death.
Whenever she stepped into the house, she would always habitually call out "Lao Ding, I'm back".
In the face of sudden changes, Jia Jiuxiao's mood was as low as a bottomless valley, but she never easily showed her vulnerable side in front of everyone. When night fell, she was lonely and could only let her sadness drown herself, and tears slipped down like beads of broken thread.
With the love and companionship of children, relatives and friends, Jia Jiuxiao gradually came out of the shadow of losing his relatives and buried his deep sorrow in the depths of his heart.
However, the cruelty of fate did not show any mercy to the poor woman. In the eleventh year of Li Ding's death, Jia Jiuxiao's son Li Xiaoding also died young.
This 88-year-old man has suffered heavy blows from the loss of his beloved husband and only son one after another, and the torment and pain he endured in his heart are as painful as the pain of the Yellow Lotus.
Time has ruthlessly left the mark of time between Jia Jiuxiao's eyebrows, and her face has long been covered with wrinkled furrows. Although the wounds in her heart cannot be completely healed, whenever she is alone, she can't help but fall into memories and nostalgia for the past.
However, no matter how difficult life is, Jia Jiuxiao has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude. In the face of the relentless blow of fate, she never chose to escape or give up, but bravely faced everything with fearless courage and firm determination, and greeted a new chapter of her life with tenacity and perseverance.
Now, Jia Jiuxiao has entered her old age, but she still maintains the elegant demeanor of a lady in the past. Whenever the children came to visit on the weekend and the whole family gathered together, looking at their happy scene, Jia Jiuxiao's heart was filled with joy and relief.
This may be the greatest expectation of the late Li Ding, hoping to see his wife in the company of her family to be physically and mentally healthy and enjoy her old age in peace.
