"I'm in a good state of mind right now, and I can't seem to die in a moment and a half."
At this time, Zhang Dingyu has been suffering from frostbite for 4 years, and when he talks about his illness in the third season of "Readers", he is still a happy look.
In the program, Zhang Dingyu's "three sentences do not leave" wife Cheng Lin, who has retreated from the aura of "people's hero", is an ordinary husband, guarding the long-term love with tenderness and romance.
In the impetuous era, what kind of love can be preserved for a long time? Perhaps, we can find the answer from Zhang Dingyu and Cheng Lin's 30-year love.
01
In 2017, Cheng Lin felt that her husband's walking posture was slightly abnormal, and friends and acquaintances said that they did not see any problems, but she still made an appointment for her husband to check.
When the report came out, the two cried to the corner, as medical staff, the couple understood what "frostbite" meant, "at the end of the stage, you lie in bed, the consciousness is clear, but in fact you can't do anything." ”
Cheng Lin tried to wipe her tears and choked up, "I will take care of you." ”
In the face of uncertainty about the future, just 6 words, speaking of her determination.
Love makes people have weaknesses, and at the same time makes people have armor. Cheng Lin put away all the foot pads at home, and was unwilling to let her husband serve vegetables and soup again, for fear that he would cut his hands and feet after he fell. Zhang Dingyu said: "Then I will help you wash the dishes, when I sit in a wheelchair and can't do anything to watch you do things, how uncomfortable it will be." ”
The German poet and novelist Heine said: "Love is a star shrouded in the morning fog." ”
In the face of a bad fate, their love dispels the haze in life with a dull and tiny light. Nowadays, the two cherish the time they spend with each other more and more, often watch movies together, walk along the East Lake Greenway, and talk about "frostbite" and are no longer sad. At major events, he would "pad his feet" in advance to relax his ligaments, "although it looks as strong as a limp, but at least don't wrestle." ”
Zhang Dingyu often joked: "There will definitely be audio software in the future, I type a few words out, it will be my voice." ”

After nearly 30 years of marriage, in Zhang Dingyu's heart, Cheng Lin is still the little girl who laughs very sweetly.
The two met at the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan, "I was working in the operating room, and it happened that a little girl came to intern, or rotation, which is also love at first sight." ”
In order to strictly prevent "love enemies", Zhang Dingyu often went to the nurse's station to accompany her on the night shift, acting as a flower protector to send Cheng Lin home, and then returned to the duty room to read.
After coming and going, the two established a relationship.
Cheng Lin's birthday was in the summer, when Wuhan was as hot as a stove, in order to surprise his lover, Zhang Dingyu rode a bicycle to the foreign bookstore on Zhongnan Road, bought a bouquet of flowers, and carefully escorted it to Cheng Lin's home. There was only a simple cellophane package on the bouquet, but Cheng Lin was still very happy.
When proposing to Cheng Lin, Zhang Dingyu was very nervous. He knew that his family was in general, and he was also worried about the opposition of Cheng Lin's family, but he did not expect the other party to say: "Let these things go to hell, I will believe in love." ”
In 1997, Zhang Dingyu signed up for the foreign aid medical team and left for two years. During this time, he wrote more than 100 love letters to his wife, "Dear Lover", which is the beginning of most of his letters.
(Letter from Zhang Dingyu and his wife)
At one point, he wrote back: "I regret it, can you forgive? ”
Zhang Dingyu, who was in a hurry to read the letter, accidentally shook a few strands of hair sent by his wife with the letter to the ground, when the doors and windows were wide open, and the hair immediately drifted with the wind. Zhang Dingyu immediately panicked, "I still want to see your hair and smell your breath", he was lying on the ground, but he couldn't find his wife's hair.
Reading this love letter in the program, Zhang Dingyu tearfully said: "It's too sad", and before he finished reading it, he put down the letter in his hand.
Will you love him for a long time?
Zhang Dingyu's answer is yes.
He insisted on taking medicine every day and doing massage treatments regularly, hoping to accompany his wife for a long time.
In 2020, Zhang Dingyu was awarded the "People's Hero" National Honorary Title Medal.
But for Zhang Dingyu and Cheng Lin, "the highlight moment, it is just a process of life." Both of us are very ordinary people, but the more ordinary we are, the more we feel that we need to cherish. Cherish it, and each other will feel very good. ”
