This is the real experience of a young couple born in the 1980s.

After more than a year of marriage, Liu and Zhang began to feel boring about marriage. The friend beside is 80 hind more, also some people flash marriage flash leaves, regard as the generation that will never settle for, when Liu Yihou and Zhang Yinuo discover marriage is free killer, feel extremely depressed.

Finally, when Zhang Yinuo N times call KFC house delivery when the dinner, Liu Yihou calmly said: "Even a healthy and nutritious meal all eat, we still untie each other." To Liu Yihou's divorce request, Zhang Yinuo behaved very calmly.

That night, two people listed each other let oneself unbearable shortcomings: Liu Yihou does not love to brush teeth, everything like complaining, obedient to the mother... Zhang Yi Nuo gold, temper like a storm as urgent, her parents to her or very strict...... These small things, let them feel that the marriage is worthy of death.

However, just like in the TV drama, the next day on his way to the Civil affairs bureau, Liu Yihou, 28, suffered a brain hemorrhage.

Zhang Yinuo finally know, in the most urgent time, people are not feeling. She kept a straight face that day until she sent Liu to the emergency room, where she burst into tears.

In-laws and Zhang Yinuo's parents arrived one after another, her mother-in-law just to the door of the operating room fainted, and Zhang Yinuo's father is also busy to help her mother find quick relief pills. At that moment, Zhang suddenly realized that her parents and in-laws, who were always young and omnipotent in her eyes, were actually very old and not as strong as she thought.

In the operating room out of a nurse, expressionless asked: "Who is Liu Yihou's family? Just come and sign." This has been seen many times in the TV series in reality, and the protagonist is actually himself. Looking at the words that were so cold and so close to death, Zhang signed his name as quickly as possible and calmly said to the nurse, "You must try your best to save my husband. He is only 28 years old." Although she had been Liu Yihou's legal wife more than a year ago, she realized the meaning of the word "wife" only when she saw the relationship between her and the patient in brackets.

Zhang Yinuo walked into her mother-in-law's ward and said to her mother-in-law who was receiving infusion: "Mom, thick is rescuing, the nurse said he was so young, it will be okay." Her mother-in-law held Zhang Yinuo's hand, tears welled up. Out of the mother-in-law's ward, father distressed to say: "A promise, want to cry, cry, dad in it." Zhang Yinuo fought back tears and said: "Dad, your girl is not so vulnerable."

Nine hours later, Liu Yihou's operation was complete. Doctors say the clot has been removed, but the patient is still unconscious, and whether and when he will wake up is unknown and depends on the patient's will to live.

After Mr. Liu was admitted to the intensive care unit, Mr. Zhang pulled out his cellphone and called his department head to ask for leave. The other person offered some soothing words, and Zhang's reply was brief: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will return to work as soon as possible."

They have been living paycheck to paycheck for more than a year since they got married. They just paid the 8,000 yuan deposit by credit card. Zhang Yinuo in a food additive company to do quality inspector, she had cursed his work, but also in the back of the boss is Grantai, but at this moment, she is very clear to realize that they can not be unemployed, this job is not only their livelihood, but also closely related to a life. She also suddenly realized that she could no longer feed on the elderly, who had spent all they had to buy them a house and a lively and decent wedding.

Late at night, the four old people refused to go, Zhang Yinuo said: "If one of you fell tired, I can cope with it?" Before getting on the bus, her mother-in-law said to Zhang Yinuo: "A promise, let you suffer..." Zhang Yinuo tried to smile: "Mom, I haven't met anything before, so I haven't been growing up. Rest assured, with thick will be safe, we also have to give you old age!" Her mother-in-law shed tears, but Zhang Yinuo could see that her old mother-in-law was no longer so frightened and helpless.

As he waved to his parents, Mr. Zhang felt he had bid farewell to his distant, dependent and willful self -- a necessary, if forced, part of his growth.

Love is more than a wedding vow

That night, Liu Yihou's fever did not go away, the hospital issued two consecutive critical notice. The second time she signed, Zhang's hands were shaking. She was so scared that she wanted to call her parents, but worried that they could not bear the pressure. It was the longest night in Zhang Yinuo's life. She sat quietly outside the intensive care unit, thinking to herself: "Yihou, come on! To thick, come on!"

At 5 a.m., the doctor came out of the intensive care unit and said to Zhang, "His fever is gone. If he doesn't have a fever before dawn, it means he has passed the critical period." It was then that she felt hungry -- she had not had any grain until that time the morning before. Although she was hungry, she had no appetite. After thinking about it, she went to the store on the third floor of the hospital to buy some food and forced herself to eat it, because it was the energy she could carry on.

That dawn came hard. At 8 o 'clock, Liu Yihou was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. Doctors are not sure when he will wake up.

Zhang Yinuo held Liu's hand tightly, tears falling on his head wrapped in gauze. At that moment, she thought that as long as he was alive, he was the most handsome man in the world. She was almost no longer able to touch him and deeply scared, and said in the heart: as long as you wake up, I will never rob the game machine with you, never quarrel with you, I will learn to cook for you to eat, will accompany you to run every day......

The in-laws and parents came, Zhang Yinuo gave them a shift son: "at night I accompany him, during the day you take turns, we who can not tired down." Then Zhang went to work -- she needed the money. When money and life are connected, she feels that work is so important.

The department head was quite taken aback by her appearance. On that day, Zhang Yinuo worked hard as never before, did not take advantage of the supervisor does not pay attention to secretly on QQ, microblog, did not enter the state of lunch 10 minutes ahead of time. At 11:25, the supervisor told her on the Intranet, "Take a break. I was worried about you." Zhang Yinuo replied: "I'm fine. Suddenly I felt silly in the past. I always felt the leader's eyes were staring at me like an eagle, but I didn't want to gain trust by being serious." The supervisor said, "Yino, don't be too hard on yourself, especially at a time like this." "No," she replied, "I was too low on myself."

At the end of the day, the supervisor put a bank card and an IOU in Zhang's hand. The amount on the IOU was 20,000 yuan. The director said, "I think money is not the most important thing, but it is necessary to cure the disease. I sympathize with what you're going through, but I'd love to see you grow like this overnight. I'm sure you won't default, but you'll feel better with this note." Zhang Yinuo's eyes suddenly red, "Thank you! I will work hard, not for the future, but for my family."

When he arrived at the hospital, Liu Yihou was still awake. After wiping and massaging him, Zhang began to search the Internet on his mobile phone for common sense related to rehabilitation. See those seriously ill family members of the moving move, Zhang Yinuo eyes red. In the past, no matter who she heard from, she always felt very far away from her family. Now reading those stories, she realized that love is not the wedding vows to love and keep each other no matter what, but the soberness when life is good and the support when life is bad.

Zhang began to write to Liu. Not the same as love letters when falling in love, in addition to the re-burning love, there is a declaration of love from the heart: with thick, thank you can pass the crisis, just like your name, let our love have a lot of many "later", so that I have the opportunity to let you realize that marrying me is not a mistake. The new me will love you in a whole new way, cook healthy meals for you, try to be your closest confidant, give you a child with our genes, and watch him or her get married together... Well, I know you suffered a lot from the disease, but this surgery made our marriage reborn. From now on, we should manage it with our heart and protect it like we love our bodies...

God didn't keep Zhang waiting long. Six days later, Liu woke up, as many stories say. It was hard for him to express his emotions after a long period of silence, but the big drops of tears in his eyes showed that he knew what she said and what she did for him.

When they were alone in the ward, Liu said to Zhang Yinuo in a very slow voice, "Wife, I don't know if I could do what you are doing if you were sick." Zhang Yinuo smiled and answered, "If this happened to me, I believe you will also take care of me. Now I want to thank God for this great opportunity."

Special love scene

On July 19, 2011, Liu Yihou was discharged from hospital after 40 days in hospital. He and Zhang hosted a recovery party at their home and invited a dozen friends.

Liu uses Flash to recreate his past marriage to Zhang Yinuo, in which the two young men fought for divorce over the last carton of milk in the fridge. After the Flash was played, Liu read the letter Zhang wrote to him during his stay in the hospital, choking up several times. Finally, he said, "Frankly speaking, Yino and I did not love each other as you see. We even came to the point of divorce. Nor is it anything earth-shattering, just for housework, for whose parents are more protective of their children, for all the small things that can not be carried out. I don't know how many marriages among our peers' die 'because of these little things. For us only children, getting married means not only finding a lover to grow old with, but also finding a relative to hold each other together. Now, I propose that anyone who brings a loved one give them a big kiss, say 'I'm sorry', and say 'I love you'."

No one turned down the offer, and everyone was in tears on this special occasion. Although Liu and Zhang are not sure if such a hug will insure their friends' marriages, they hope that their friends' marriages will grow from now on, and that each pair of lovers will find a reason to never abandon their marriage.
