In Yichang City, Hubei Province, there is such a loving elderly couple, because they have a common hobby of dancing, and have an enviable "highlight" moment: in 2005, Jiang Decheng, who was nearly sixty years old, and his wife Xie Donghua won the first place in the elderly group in the first national standard dance competition held in the city. However, the fate is uncertain, and the dancing forest partners, who are only envious of mandarin ducks and immortals, have to accept the cruel reality after the "highlight": Xie Donghua suddenly fell ill and became a "vegetative person". "As long as she lives one more day, I will be happy and have a sense of accomplishment!" For 10 years, Jiang Decheng has guarded his wife without giving up, and in the eyes of others, his wife is a "vegetative person", but in his heart, his wife will always be the dance queen with the spirit of the spirit.
Fifteen years ago, Jiang Decheng and his wife partnered in the national standard dance competition.

Jiang Decheng, 74, lives with his 72-year-old wife Xie Donghua in the Sunshine Community of Baota Hedongcheng in Wujiagang District, Yichang City. At about 11:00 a.m. on July 1, when he came to Jiang Decheng's home, he was feeding Xie Donghua, who was paralyzed in bed, unconscious and unconscious. Jiang Decheng fed the porridge-like food into Xie Donghua's mouth one spoon after another, and after a while, he also put the spoon into it and pressed his tongue to let his wife swallow. "This is my nutritious paste, which has more than 10 ingredients such as meat and vegetables."

Jiang Decheng and Xie Donghua were introduced to each other in the 1970s, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good. Because Jiang Decheng is a shipyard worker, he often has to work overtime, coupled with the serious idea of "machismo", he does not do anything when he returns home, and his wife Xie Donghua is busy with work and takes care of 2 children, which is very hard. "She was beautiful and virtuous when she was young, and many colleagues and friends envied me." Speaking of the happy time with his wife, Jiang Decheng, who finished feeding, opened the conversation box.
"After retirement, we often danced together, and in 2005, when we were nearly sixty years old, we won the first place in the senior group at the first national standard dance competition held in the city." Jiang Decheng said that he retired at the age of 50, his wife was 2 years earlier than his illness retired, thinking that when he was young, his family and home were all managed by his wife, and after retirement, he wanted to accompany her more. As a result, the riverside and the gymnasium left them practicing dance.

No one expected that Xie Donghua, who usually likes to dance and exercise, suddenly became nervous and confused, and sometimes he couldn't remember what he had just done or said. "Many people around me, including me, can't believe that my wife will have Alzheimer's disease." Jiang Decheng said that in 2008, his wife began to have mild symptoms, and it did not take long to recognize her family, and then her condition became more and more serious, and in 2010, she lost consciousness due to paralysis and had to be hospitalized.

Since his wife fell ill, Jiang Decheng, who had never done housework before, learned to care, learned to cook, and wash.
Jiang Decheng did not abandon his wife and took good care of him, breaking the doctor's "death prophecy" of that year. Jiang Decheng said that when his wife was hospitalized, his condition was very serious and accompanied by pressure sores, and the doctor said that he could live for up to 1 year, and the pressure sores were not good when he was discharged, "I summed it up, this disease is more important than hospitalization." ”
For 10 years, Jiang Decheng has focused all his energy on taking care of his wife, wiping her body, turning over or massaging her every hour or two. In order to ensure the nutrition of his wife, he beat more than 10 kinds of grains such as corn, black beans, barley rice and so on into powder, mixed with lean meat or fish meat that was ground into a thin paste, and squeezed the juice of vegetables and fruits such as mushrooms, carrots, apples, etc., and fed her spoonful by spoon. "It takes half an hour to feed a meal, which is also a test of a person's perseverance." Jiang Decheng said that his wife eats two meals a day, around 6 o'clock in the morning and around 12 o'clock in the morning, which are his own carefully prepared nutritious meals.

Over the years, Jiang Decheng did not want to drag down the children who were doing business outside, and single-handedly picked up the burden of taking care of his wife, "In the summer, I have to wipe her sweat every half an hour, usually in addition to going to the street to buy vegetables, rarely leave home, and my wife can't communicate, and when I am idle, I practice writing at home or watch TV." Jiang Decheng said that although his wife still has no consciousness and consciousness, her eyes sometimes open; in addition, he is particularly surprised by the fact that when he feeds her liquid food, she occasionally mutters...
An old friend saw Jiang Decheng busy with his wife all day and did not participate in any entertainment activities, and once advised him to send his wife to a nursing home. Jiang Decheng said that leaving others to take care of who has done too much detail, "In the eyes of others, she is a vegetative person, but in my heart, she is an eternal dance queen and a partner who has been together all her life." As long as she lives one more day, I will be happy and have a sense of accomplishment. ”
Over the years, Rao Shirong, a community grid member of Heyi Road in Baotahe Street, Wujiagang, has taken special care of Jiang Decheng's family. Rao Shirong said: "It is a miracle that Grandma Xie can live to this day!" This miracle was created by Uncle Jiang's meticulous care. ”
