Zhiyin Magazine's next August 2012 edition is "One Thing to Save My Wife in Ten Years". Can I order a copy of this issue?

More than ten tons of traditional Chinese medicine and six iron pots

March 25, 2012, this day has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. But Li Zhenglei, a cadre of the Internal Revenue Service in Xiuwen County, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, did the most romantic thing in his life: He spent three days writing a heartfelt speech "Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of his wife's rebirth" without telling his wife Hu Suqin. .

In March 2002, Hu Suqin suffered from advanced brain cancer and fell into a coma after surgery. The doctor said she could only live for three months. Li Zhenglei could not accept the cruel fact that his family was missing one person. When the hospital failed to save his wife, he looked for Chinese medicine prescriptions to save his wife. In the past ten years, he had fried more than ten tons of Chinese medicine and used up six large iron pots. Seven of the alarm clocks specially used to wake up his wife to take medicine in the middle of the night were worn out, shortening Hu Suqin's life span from three months to 10 years. In early 2012, all the cancer cells in Hu Suqin's mind were calcified - which meant that her cancer was completely cured. Liu Chuangxi, director of the Department of Neurosurgery and doctoral supervisor of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, even introduced this case into the classroom and gave lectures to doctoral students!

Regarding all these hard-won miracles, Li Zhenglei only wrote calmly: Ten years are just for one thing - to take my wife across the line of life and death; my husband is just a medicine that can cure all kinds of illnesses for my wife!

"It's not for love", this family can't live without you

p>

At around 8 o'clock on March 11, 2002, as soon as Li Zhenglei arrived at the office, the landline on his desk rang. It was a call from a friend who worked in the county court. The first sentence shocked him: "Old Li , come quickly, your Suqin was hit by a car in front of our unit..."

Li Zhenglei ran towards the county court one kilometer away. Five minutes later, Li Zhenglei arrived at the scene. At this time, his wife Hu Suqin was lying on the ground, the back of her head touched the ground, and a large pool of blood overflowed, and she was unconscious. Although someone had already dialed 120, Li Zhenglei thought for a moment and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" He decisively picked up his wife and ran to the County People's Hospital not far away.

Seven or eight minutes later, Hu Suqin arrived at the hospital and was immediately pushed into the operating room. While waiting for the operation, Li Zhenglei, who was sweating profusely, kept chanting silently: "Don't let anything happen to Su Qin, this family cannot live without you!"

This is an ordinary but very happy family. . Li Zhenglei was 39 years old at the time, and his wife was the same age as him. He is from Xiuwen County, and Hu Suqin is from Qianxi County, Guizhou. In 1980, 17-year-old Li Zhenglei went to the movies with a few friends and met another friend who was taking Hu Suqin with him. Hearing that Hu Suqin had not bought a ticket, the enthusiastic Li Zhenglei tried every means to get one for her. The two sat together and watched a movie called "Not for Love" that night. As a result, they had a good impression of each other and built a bridge of love. Soon, Li Zhenglei enlisted in the army and went to Yunnan. The two young people sent letters to express their love, and their relationship became stronger.

Three years later, Li Zhenglei was discharged from the army and was assigned to work at the Xiuwen County State Taxation Bureau; Hu Suqin followed her lover and was transferred to the Xiuwen County Price Bureau (the Price Bureau was later merged into the Development and Reform Bureau). In 1985, the two got married. Hu Suqin, who was good at singing and dancing, taught Li Zhenglei how to dance the national standard and sing folk songs. After having their son Li Yun, the couple often took their son to play by the river. The son beat time with his hands, the couple danced hand in hand, and the family's laughter flowed with the clear river... The past was so warm, who would have thought that when life was rich and her son was about to take the high school entrance examination, something like this happened to Hu Suqin, the center of a family. Disaster! Two hours later, Ma Xiaobing, the director of surgery who performed the surgery on Hu Suqin, walked out of the operating room. His words made Li Zhenglei both happy and worried: "Your wife's head injury is nothing, but she has a tumor in her brain. Take her to a big hospital quickly." Check carefully!"

Li Zhenglei quickly called a car to take his wife to the Brain Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang Medical College. As a result, Hu Suqin was diagnosed with "astrocytoma grade II", which is commonly known as "brain cancer" in the middle and late stages. Like many family members, Li Zhenglei tried to hide his illness from his wife. But within two days, Hu Suqin felt something strange from her husband's eyes and the doctor's attitude.

On the third day, when Li Zhenglei fed her medicine and said it was a minor problem again, Hu Suqin's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, I will cooperate with the treatment, but my son has to take an exam, so we can't let him." He knows!" As she said that, she turned her head to one side, her voice choked with sobs: "In a few years, my son will be admitted to college and it will be okay if he gets sick again!" Li Zhenglei heard his wife's despair and advised: "As long as it doesn't spread, there is a chance of cure. It's big... You have to persist, my son and I can't live without you!"

Accompanied by Li Zhenglei, Hu Suqin stayed in the hospital for a month. Thinking that her son would take the high school entrance examination in early June, Hu Suqin did not want to distract her son from her illness and insisted on being discharged from the hospital and going home to take medicine. After returning home, she and her husband deliberately placed penicillin, tranquilizer pills and other drugs for treating common diseases in conspicuous places, and hid the drugs for treating brain cancer in the cabinet in the bedroom. Under the careful arrangements of the two, the family had no idea that Hu Suqin was suffering from a terminal illness! In the end, their son Li Yun was admitted to the provincial key middle school: Xiuwen No. 1 Middle School with excellent results.

Hu Suqin, whose condition was stable, did not want to be idle at home. In early August, she took the initiative to go to work. Who would have thought that three days later, when she returned to her hometown to visit relatives, she suddenly fainted. Li Zhenglei had no choice but to send his wife to the Affiliated Hospital of your hospital again.

After examination, the doctor found that Hu Suqin's condition had entered an advanced stage and required surgery. But after eight hours of surgery, Hu Suqin fell into a coma. Liu Chuangxi said with regret: "Because the cancer cells have spread throughout the body, it is estimated that we only have three months at most!"

Li Zhenglei was confused: last time the doctor said that his wife did not have much time, but he did not say that she only had time. For several months, I couldn’t help but shed tears. Seeing this, Professor Liu sighed: "There is nothing Western medicine can do in the world. You might as well go back and try some Chinese medicine prescriptions. Maybe you can survive the desperate situation!"

On August 5, Li Zhenglei Sadly, he took his unconscious wife back to Xiuwen County People's Hospital. He stayed in the ward "chatting" with his wife every day, and even talked about the movie they watched when they first met. He said: "The movie we watched was called "Not for Love". At our age, we never talk about love and affection, but you must survive. Our family cannot live without you. You are my life." and the hope of my son!"

Seventeen minutes of back and forth, wandering between life and death and holding on to hope

After returning to revise the article, Li Zhenglei asked around for traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions—— Because according to Dr. Liu Chuangxi's diagnosis, Hu Suqin would not survive the National Day. Because of his good popularity, Li Zhenglei soon began to receive various weird traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions from relatives and friends. But the folk remedies came like a snowflake, leaving Li Zhenglei at a loss: his wife's illness waits for no one, but he couldn't try these remedies one by one, let alone use his wife as a guinea pig. What should he do? After thinking carefully, Li Zhenglei hired a nanny. During the day, he takes care of his wife in the hospital. While working, I spared all my time to check the feasibility of folk remedies.

Among the collected prescriptions, one recipe is to boil 40 pounds of Chen Ai into water, pour it into a large wooden bucket, and give the patient repeated scrubbing. Li Zhenglei consulted several old Chinese medicine doctors in the county, and they all said that Chen Ai was effective for cancer. Considering that this medicine was applied externally and had low side effects, he decided to give it a try.

But there are also difficulties with this prescription: 40 kilograms of medicine is needed at one time, twice a week, and it needs to be used year-round. The huge numbers worry Li Zhenglei: Although Chen Ai is just a very common Chinese herbal medicine, because of its low price, urban pharmacies do not stock it at all. He has to go to remote rural areas to collect it every week, but he has to go to work and take care of his wife. Where is the time?

When Li Zhenglei was in trouble, two of his former comrades in the army came. Their names were Wang Fagui and Zhou Chengshu, and they returned to the countryside of Xiuwen County after being discharged from the army. Hearing that Li Zhenglei was worried about picking medicine, the two immediately promised: "This medicine is everywhere in the countryside, and we promise to pick it for you every week!"

From this day on, the two old comrades will meet on Monday and Send Chen Ai off on time on Wednesday. Li Zhenglei lived in the old dormitory of the State Administration of Taxation at that time. His family was small and he could not pile up so many herbs, so he piled the grass in an open space in front of the dormitory building. Since he had to go to work during the day, Li Zhenglei arranged the time to prepare medicine in the evening.

He set up an iron pot about 50 centimeters in diameter at home and simmered the medicine for an hour and a half. He then sealed it in two iron buckets and pulled it to the hospital on a tricycle. He put his wife in the wooden bucket and slowly gave her the medicine. She scrubbed herself. At that time, Li Zhenglei had no idea about the pharmacological effects of this prescription. After five years of persistence, Li Zhenglei watched CCTV's "Chinese Medicine" program and realized that scrubbing the skin with Chen Ai water could prevent the spread of cancer cells.

Once, when pouring the potion into the bucket, Li Zhenglei accidentally burned his left hand. The injured hand suffered a terrible pain when it touched the potion. When scrubbing his wife, Li Zhenglei had to bend his left hand over and use his forearm instead of his palm to scrub his wife. But such a posture is both unaccustomed and difficult to control. Finally, he bit on the towel, endured the severe pain, and insisted on rubbing his wife's back with his palms.

In the evening, Li Yun found something wrong with his father's left hand. He grabbed it and saw that the surface of the wound on his left palm, which was the size of a dollar coin, had turned black and was oozing blood, just like the chromium injection used on prisoners in ancient criminal law. It was as if it had been scalded with iron, and it was so miserable that I couldn't bear to touch it. The son couldn't help crying.

Li Yun saw his father's dedication in his eyes. One day, when Li Zhenglei went home to eat and rushed back to the hospital, he ran into him "talking" with his mother: "Mom, dad loves you so much. I heard from my grandma that a colleague wanted to introduce him to a partner and said he was waiting for you. Since she was no longer here, let them get married. As a result, my father refused on the spot and said that if Su Qin gets better, I will save her even if I risk my life!" A few days later, Li Zhenglei heard that there was a folk doctor in Guiyang who was very skilled in medicine. Gao Ming, he immediately rushed to ask for advice. But this doctor charges 5,000 yuan for each medicine; and traditional Chinese medicine cannot be reimbursed. In order to save his wife, Li Zhenglei gritted his teeth and bought it, enough for one month.

A month later, whether it was Li Zhenglei’s persistent bathing that had an effect, the doctor’s medicine, or being moved by the deep feelings of Li Zhenglei and his son, Hu Suqin’s eyes actually opened. The eyes also move. Li Zhenglei was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Suqin, can you hear me? If you can, just blink!" But after waiting for a long time, Hu Suqin didn't blink. The doctor told him that just because Hu Suqin could open her eyes, it did not mean she would get better. The best result would be that she could speak after waking up, but she would also be paralyzed. Li Zhenglei was heartbroken and cried silently. But when he returned to the ward, looking at his wife's peaceful face, he comforted himself: as long as she didn't leave, there would be 50/50 hope and 50/50 despair, and the winning rate was quite high!

October 1st came soon. , and Hu Suqin did not leave as the doctor asserted. Li Zhenglei stood in the hospital ward and said gently to his wife: "Suqin, starting from tomorrow, your life has entered a new starting point!"

After that, Hu Suqin's illness did not improve. Starting in December 2002, she began to experience epileptic symptoms, and the seizures were extremely frequent, with up to three seizures in one morning. Since Hu Suqin's epilepsy usually attacks in the morning, Li Zhenglei has to walk about 17 minutes from the hospital to his work every morning. Li Zhenglei felt uneasy when he left every morning, always worrying that his wife's illness would attack again during these 17 minutes. For this reason, during this walk, Li Zhenglei always held his cell phone in his hand, watching the time minute by minute, always ready for the phone to ring and rush to the hospital.

Hu Suqin’s epilepsy was treated for three years, and Li Zhenglei walked in this way, on this road, and in this posture for three years.

The beloved wife was "reborn" after ten years of fighting? A good husband is just medicine

The 17-minute special journey was finally completed in 2005.

One day in June 2005, Li Zhenglei put his wife into a wooden bucket and prepared to wash her as usual. Suddenly, he heard a sentence: "Old Li, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Zhenglei looked around and saw no one else. "Su Qin! Were you talking just now?" Li Zhenglei looked at his wife in confusion.

A smile appeared on Hu Suqin's face, she opened her mouth and said slowly, word by word: "Thank you for your hard work!" Although the pronunciation was a bit blocked, Li Zhenglei could still hear the short and clear words clearly. .

"Great, you can finally speak!" Li Zhenglei was so excited that tears came down, and he kept laughing with tears!

Li Zhenglei called excitedly Come son and mother.

Hu Suqin happily called: "Son" and "Mom". Surrounding Hu Suqin, the family hugged each other tightly, crying and laughing happily. After waiting, calling, and caring for a thousand days and nights, the family finally waited for this day. Hu Suqin's awakening was like a shot in the arm, which encouraged Li Zhenglei, and also encouraged Wang Fagui and Zhou Chengshu, who had persisted in collecting and delivering medicines regardless of rain or shine for several years. With deep gratitude, Li Zhenglei introduced them to his wife in detail: "They are the benefactors of our family." But the honest and simple Wang Fagui said sincerely: "The one who has done the most is Lao Li! Without his persistence, nothing would have happened. You can't do anything!"

Wang Fagui is telling the truth.

In order to treat his wife's illness, Li Zhenglei successively found various folk remedies. A Miao doctor from Congjiang County provided a prescription to wake Hu Suqin from her sleep at one and three o'clock in the morning and feed her medicine. At first, Li Zhenglei used his mobile phone to set an alarm clock, but one day there was a problem with his mobile phone and the alarm clock did not go off. The exhausted Li Zhenglei slept until morning. So Li Zhenglei bought three alarm clocks at once. Every night, when it was time to take medicine, three alarm clocks rang at the same time, waking him up. Hu Suqin used this prescription for two years, while Li Zhenglei used up seven alarm clocks.

In early January 2006, since Hu Suqin had regained consciousness, Li Zhenglei took her home for treatment after lying in the hospital for more than three years. Li Zhenglei originally thought that treatment would be more convenient after returning home; but he soon discovered that he was wrong - because Hu Suqin had been in a coma for the past few years, and she could only passively accept the medication given to her; when she woke up, she had a negative reaction to the medication. Picky.

Once, Li Zhenglei found another recipe, which required killing a two-month-old chicken, then digging a hole in its belly, taking out the internal organs, stuffing Chinese medicine inside, and putting Steamed in the pot. Finally, let the patient drink the concoction. Li Zhenglei boiled the medicine. Hu Suqin just took a sip and sprayed it all over her husband's face: "This is not for people to drink!" The taste of the medicine was really unpleasant. When Li Zhenglei took the medicine, he felt nauseated. No wonder his wife couldn't drink it. . But in order to treat the disease, Li Zhenglei had to force himself to calm down and said gently: "Do you want to see your son take the college entrance examination, do you want to see him enter college, do you want to see him find a girlfriend in the future?" Listening to this series of questions from her husband , Hu Suqin took the bowl, gritted her teeth, raised her neck, drank it in one gulp, and then vomited repeatedly. Relying on this method, Hu Suqin drank all kinds of unpleasant-smelling and unpalatable Chinese medicines again and again.

The persistence of Hu Suqin and Li Zhenglei also gave their son Li Yun great touch and strength. In 2006, he was successfully admitted to Yunnan Normal University. Li Yun understands the difficulties at home. During the years when he was in college, every time he came back to see his mother during the holidays, Li Yun would always find a way to earn his own travel expenses home.

With the care of her husband and son, Hu Suqin gradually improved. By the end of 2009, she was able to walk slowly with the help of her husband.

In September 2011, Hu Suqin was invited to Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital for an examination. The person who examined her this time was still Professor Liu Chuangxi who had operated on his wife at the Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang Medical College a few years ago. He was later transferred here to be the director of neurosurgery. In the past few years, he had been in contact with Li Zhenglei. He was amazed when he learned that Hu Suqin had crossed the line between life and death. Not only was she awake and able to speak, but she also recovered from paralysis and could walk. He invited her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The hospital's examination results were almost miraculous: the cancer cells in Hu Suqin's brain had basically calcified. Liu Chuangxi said excitedly: "As long as she persists, her cancer cells will be completely calcified. At that time, she can truly declare that the cancer is cured!"

Li Zhenglei was greatly encouraged and will undergo treatment. The method is implemented more strictly. In early March 2012, Li Zhenglei once again accompanied his wife for a check-up. As expected by Professor Liu, all the cancer cells in Hu Suqin's brain had actually calcified. Professor Liu immediately compiled Li Zhenglei's experience in taking care of his wife, and introduced this special patient who he thought had no hope ten years ago but who has now come back to life as an example for his lectures to doctoral students, and introduced it into the classroom!

March 25 That day was the day Hu Suqin was hit. On this day in 2012, Li Zhenglei was celebrating the tenth anniversary of his wife's "rebirth" in the hotel.

Facing more than 40 relatives and friends, Li Zhenglei smiled and said to his wife: "Suqin, after ten years of hard work, our family is happy again. Today, I have a special gift for you!"

After speaking, he took out the speech he had prepared three days in advance and read it with great emotion: "In the past ten years, I have only done one thing, not letting my wife leave me and leave this home... The experience of 10 years has made me I deeply understand a truth: for the wife, the husband is just medicine, which can cure all kinds of diseases for the wife..." Only then did everyone know that in the past ten years, the various Chinese herbal medicines that Li Zhenglei had cooked for his wife had added up to As many as ten tons, six large iron pots were worn out.

When the editor of this magazine went to Li Zhenglei’s home for an interview in early June, he and his wife had just moved into a new house with a mortgage. On the balcony behind the new house, Li Zhenglei specially ordered a set of all-wood benches for his wife. The bench can swing back and forth. Li Zhenglei took his wife's hand and said happily: "As long as the weather is clear, we can sit here and watch the sunrise and sunset together!"
