On this sunny and vibrant day in 2022, I was fortunate to be able to interview this seemingly ordinary but extraordinary couple in Xinxiang City, Henan Province - Mr. Yuan Zhihao and Ms. Hou Erni. When I first met them, both of them had a happy smile on their faces, as if they had never experienced any hardships in their lives.
Surprisingly, just a few short years ago, a thrilling accident took almost everything they had.
Recalling that unbearable past, Mr. Yuan Zhihao's face couldn't help but show a sad expression. At the time, he was devoting himself to running a small braised meat shop, and although the business was booming, the heavy debts he had incurred in the early days of the business were still not fully repaid.
And his wife, Ms. Hou Erni, has always been his strongest backing, silently supporting her husband's career and guarding the warm harbor of this family. Although they are not rich, they are still living happily and are full of endless expectations for the future.
However, just when the happiness they had been waiting for was about to come, the god of fate ruthlessly drove them into the abyss? A sudden accident completely upended the couple's originally peaceful life, bringing them unbearable pain and challenges.
In the face of such a huge predicament, do they choose to bow to fate, or stick to the courage and hope in their hearts? Next, let's walk into this twists and turns of the story and feel the profound connotation contained in it!
Back in the middle of the night in April 2015, Mr. Yuen Chi Ho was busy in his braised meat shop. As the owner, his main task every day is to carefully prepare fragrant marinated meat and provide delicious dishes to customers.
However, on this very night, disaster struck unexpectedly! Mr. Yuan Zhihao accidentally stumbled, and the whole person suddenly fell into the boiling cauldron. The intense burning pain caused him to let out a heart-rending scream that pierced the silence of the night and woke up the people around him.
Her wife, Ms. Hou Erni, who also lives nearby, rushed to hear the cries for help, and when she saw her husband struggling in pain in the cauldron that was more than 1 meter deep and extremely hot, her heart felt like she had been hit with a heavy hammer.
She tries with all her might to save her husband from the hot pan, only to realize helplessly that she can't do anything about the tragedy. In the end, thanks to the concerted efforts of the store staff, everyone worked together to pull Yuan Zhihao out of the boiling oil pot, but at this time he was already covered in injuries, his skin and flesh were separated, his breathing was weak, and his life was in danger.
On the way to the hospital, looking at the blood on the ground and her husband's painful struggle, Hou Erni's heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife, tears blurred her vision, and her heart was full of endless pain.
When Yuan Zhihao was rushed to the Hui County People's Hospital in Xinxiang, Henan, his condition was even more worrying.
In the face of such a serious condition, the hospital quickly organized an elite medical team to provide intense and orderly treatment for Yuan Zhihao. After several hours of life-and-death struggle, his condition was finally initially relieved and his life was temporarily out of danger.
However, the dawn of victory has not yet illuminated the future, and Yuan Zhihao is about to face an even more serious challenge.
Although there is no life-threatening situation at present, most of the skin on Yuan Zhihao's body has been severely burned, which has undoubtedly brought great psychological trauma and pressure to him and his family.
More seriously, the extensive burns triggered a series of complications, including hypovolemic shock and multi-organ failure, which could threaten his life again at any time.
This is undoubtedly an astronomical expense, and it is undoubtedly worse for the Yuan family, who are already in debt.
Just when the family members were grief-stricken and fell into despair, his wife Hou Erni silently stayed by her unconscious husband Yuan Zhihao's side. Her mind recalls the years the two have gone hand in hand: from first acquaintance to mutual understanding, from self-made to successful entrepreneurship, and then to the gradual start of their careers on the right track, every beautiful moment embodies their hard work and joint dedication.
Now, fate is so cruelly challenging them. But should we give up on that? Do we want to watch our past efforts come to naught? The anger and unwillingness in Hou Erni's heart became stronger and stronger, and her determination to protect her husband also grew.
These categorical words were as shocking as a thunderbolt in the air, and everyone present was deeply admired! Undoubtedly, in the face of life and death, who can surpass the perseverance and courage of his wife Hou Erni? Her deep love has been forged into a powerful power that never gives up and never gives up, igniting a spark of hope for us in the darkness and lighting up the light of life.
Doctors have clearly warned that the process of transplanting with the skin of a loved one's deeds will be extremely painful. As expected, when a piece of skin was cut from Hou Erni's right arm for the first time and transplanted into Yuan Zhihao's body, the effect of the anesthetic gradually dissipated, and she endured unprecedented severe pain.
The pain was like a sharp blade cutting through flesh mercilessly, and every breath seemed to tear the skin apart. Hou Erni gritted her teeth and remained silent, lest she disturb her family. However, the cold sweat that kept sliding down her forehead and the painful expression revealed that she was going through unimaginable torture. What's even more terrifying is that this is just the beginning, and more and more transplants will be needed.
The operation was strictly confidential, so Hou Erni could not show the slightest pain in front of her family, so she could only endure the extreme pain silently, and at the same time go all out to take care of her comatose husband and give him endless care and care, never leaving for a moment.
This was followed by a transplant of both legs, which took several months to recover. This time, the family quickly noticed the abnormality, so Yuan Zhihao's parents and sister who were far away also joined the transplant team, and they decided to use their own skin to save this once happy but now broken family.
It was with the concerted efforts and selfless dedication of the whole family that after a long and difficult treatment process, Yuan Zhihao finally managed to get out of danger and transferred to a general ward to continue his recovery. The moment he slowly opened his eyes, he was greeted by his wife's tired but relieved face. Later, when he learned about the great sacrifice made by his wife and relatives to save him, his heart suddenly swelled with endless gratitude and guilt.
Since they recovered and were discharged from the hospital, the touching music composed by this ordinary but brave couple - the story of Yuan Zhihao's severe burns all over his body and his wife's willingness to cut his skin to save him has spread to every corner of the city, becoming the best example of people's continuous struggle and courage. Whether it is in the online world or in real life, countless people have shed tears and offered their most sincere praise and blessings.
Originally, Yuan Zhihao and Hou Erni had already entered the threshold of 40 years old, and they relied on running a small braised meat shop to make a living. However, who would have expected that the family would suffer such a heavy blow and lose almost all happiness overnight.
However, it was this life-and-death test that made them regain their love for life and fighting spirit.
After being discharged from the hospital, Hou Erni did not choose to leave, she resolutely decided to stay in Xinxiang and work as a cashier in a supermarket, working hard every day to earn a meager salary and reduce food and clothing to support the family. And Yuan Zhihao firmly made a vow to start anew in his career. He kept up with the times, actively learned the relevant skills of e-commerce operations, and quickly opened his own store on the Internet, although the initial stage was quite difficult, he persevered with great courage and determination.
In this way, the wife silently took on the responsibility of the family outside, and the husband worked hard to rebuild his career in the online world, and they supported each other, worked together, and re-embarked on the road of struggle step by step. It is as if the pain is gradually dissipating, replaced by a feeling of hope and anticipation for the future.
In 2022, those enthusiastic people who have given them selfless care and support have visited their homes, bringing care and warm greetings from all aspects of society. Today, this ordinary couple has written an extraordinary chapter in their lives with their courage and sincere love, and their story has deeply touched the heartstrings of countless people, becoming a powerful testimony and inspiration for perseverance and never-say-die.
