Li Wen, a man who is deeply affectionate and doesn't care about the eyes of others at all.
One day in November 2004, Li Wen returned to his residence after a long absence, and he entered the door to scan the furnishings of the house, which were all covered with thick dust.
He picked up a broom from the door and began to clean, sweeping in full swing alone, humming some Vietnamese folk tunes in his mouth.
After roughly cleaning up the dust in the house, Li Wen picked up the rag and began to wipe the table, looking at the various scratches left by the perennial meal on the table, Li Wen didn't know what he remembered, and smiled happily alone.
When the house was almost finished, he looked up at the sun, and felt that it was still early, so he packed up the sack he had brought with him, which contained a large bag of clay, which had taken Li Wen a long time to buy.
He put the clay on his electric tricycle and set off towards where his wife lived. When we arrived, we found out that his wife lived in the cemetery, which was really scary.
He picked up a shovel and dug up the soil covering his wife's grave, then knocked the coffin open, and he carefully slid it from the side into the coffin, and gently carried out his wife's bones.
He opened his sack of clay and began to apply it to his wife's bones, no, it could not be said to be smeared, it should be pressed, and he pressed all the clay to the bones, and clothed the bones in a thick coat of earth.
The clay-wrapped skeleton was then exposed to the sun until the clay stiffened and formed, and then he took the skeleton back to his town, his home, and began to reunite with his wife.
The neighbor saw that he was in such a peaceful mood today, and he was not immersed in the grief of his wife's death, and he was unwilling to communicate with others, so he greeted him happily.
The neighbor said to him: "Li Wen, you have a second spring?" Seeing that the whole person's complexion is different, I said, people are dead, and people who are alive continue to live. ”
Li Wen saw that this neighbor, who had lived for decades, came up and said something unpleasant, so he directly choked him: "Don't talk nonsense, who is looking for a newcomer, my wife is here, can you pay attention." ”
Li Wen's words made the neighbor's back cold, but he didn't say much, he thought that Li Wen was mentally abnormal because he missed his wife too much, until Li Wen's children came back to see him.
Seeing that his old father had finally stopped sleeping in the grave, Le Van came back to see his old father, only to find that there was a clay man with a painted nose, eyes and mouth on his father's bed.
A bad premonition surged in his heart, and he hurriedly asked his father: "What kind of wind are you smoking, you slept in a coffin before, and now you make a clay figure to live with, what are you doing, can't you let us be a snack for our children?" ”
Li Wen looked at his son, there was no emotion in his heart, in his heart only his wife is his real family, he said: "This clay sculpture is your mother's bones, I really miss your mother, so I moved back to live together." ”
This action of Le Van completely frightened his son, and he ran out screaming, telling his neighbors that his father was crazy, and the neighbors were also frightened when they learned the truth of the matter from his upside-down narrative.
The story of making his wife into a stone statue and living with his wife's body spread all over the surrounding villages in an instant, and reporters also came to interview.
Through the reporter's inquiry, everyone knew that it was not the first time that this man who loved his wife had done such a thing, and when his wife had just died, he couldn't help crying.
He couldn't accept the reality that his wife left him like this, he only knew that he didn't want to be separated from his wife, who lived in a coffin, and he lived outside the coffin, lying on the grave and sleeping.
He lived there for more than a year, during which he and his wife's seven children took turns to persuade him, but they did not change his will, so he communicated with his wife on the grave across the coffin board, talking, and from time to time leaving tears of missing his wife.
After a long time, Li Wen's skin began to age under the sun's all-day radiation, he looked at the old face in the river, and suddenly a panic surged in his heart, he was exposed to the sun, it would have such an impact, and wouldn't his wife have such an impact.
Suddenly, he began to worry about whether his wife would suffer from the wind and rain in the coffin. The thought tormented him more and more, and it wasn't long before he went home and got his tools, and turned a hole in his wife's coffin that could only be passed through by one person.
He entered through this cave every day, slept with his wife's body, and sometimes kissed his wife's bones, but the bones were only bones after all, and it was always a reminder that his wife had really died.
Li Wen couldn't stand this kind of torment, he wanted his wife to see again, they wanted to live in their own small home again, just do what they said, Li Wen began to ask people to find a way to preserve the body, thinking about it, only sealing it with clay is the cheapest and longest.
So a story that shocked Vietnam happened, and it has been nearly 20 years since the bones were dug up in 2004, and it is not known whether Le Van is still alive.
Le Vin's story is not just a story of a ghost's love. Regardless of whether the relationship between him and his wife is as deep as he says, the mere fact that his wife cannot be buried in the ground shows that he is different from ordinary people.
After the reporter reported on Le Vyn's story, the stubborn man finally explained why he slept on his wife's grave and dug up the grave to make a stone statue of his wife.
In a bunch of questions from reporters, Li Wen only replied with two sentences: "I am an unusual person myself, and I like to be different from ordinary people." "I don't want to be separated from my wife."
Living in an ordinary town in Vietnam, Le Van has witnessed the development of Vietnam from nothing to the point where it is today, and should have lived the same life as everyone else, facing death and the future in an ordinary way.
Since he was a child, Li Wen was a boy who didn't like to communicate with people, and he saw a lot of pain, but he had nowhere to tell.
Le Van was a farmer from a very simple and traditional way, that is, he believed that the land would not deceive people, and if he planted a seed in the field and waited carefully, the land would return him with abundant food in the next year.
This idea was not inherited by Le Van at a time when Western capitalism was prevalent and the locals were regarded as second-class citizens because they were unable to resist.
The buildings that can be seen everywhere are all left over from that time, and they are obviously powerless to resist in the face of the West, but their parents still adhere to their own set of doctrines, hoping that Li Wen will endure silently, do not resist, and farm with peace of mind.
Thirty years later, with the development of Vietnam's economy, many people have officially become members of the industrial society, and the conservative ideas of the past are even more useless.
The new generation of young people can still improve their knowledge and change their perception through learning and short videos, Li Wen they can't, they live in an era of scarcity, no one tells him what is right, everything is groping.
At this time, Li Wen's wife appeared, and his wife saved Li Wen from the situation of having nowhere to talk in the past, so that he could find a sense of his own value in this stormy society where everyone yearns for money.
For Li Wen, his wife is the source of his sense of security, and with his wife, he has something to say in the face of the disturbances of the world, the love of children and the love of husband and wife are not the same, they fill two different needs.
Le Vin's wife is the one who saved Le Van from loneliness and fear, the one who will spend his life together in the future, Le Van is not the same, they are destined to leave, they will have their families.
The small family formed by himself and his wife is destined to be only a temporary shelter for this group of children, and sooner or later, they will leave home and fly to their own habitat, and it is their wives who will really accompany them all their lives.
For Li Wen's children, the death of their mother is a huge blow, but the children have felt the death of their parents in their hearts, and the parents are older, and if nothing else, there will always be a day in their lives to send their parents away.
For Le Van it is an unacceptable fact that his wife is the family he chooses in this world, the other half who can listen to his heart.
He is old, and what awaits him is never the opportunities and benefits of the new era, and what awaits Le Van is lying in the grave, never able to reply to his wife, and the pain of going on alone in the future.
After the death of his wife, the children could not understand why Le Van kept sleeping on the tombstone, did not go home, and did not live with his children, because Le Van knew that an empty house was not home, and the place where his wife who had accompanied him through decades of ups and downs was his home.
After his wife's death, his neighbors were afraid of him, his children scolded him, the people around him were far away from him, no one understood his pain of missing his wife, everyone felt why this person was not good, and he was still immersed in sadness.
When Le Van opened his wife's grave and lay down with her, the strange eyes of his tormenting neighbors and the dissuasion of his children all turned away from him.
Even the death of his wife can't grieve to his heart's content, he is constantly prevented from thinking clearly, people's mouths of happy life and discipline are itching through the boots, the really important things can't be obtained from the eyes of others, and following the heart is the respect for one's love.
