Suddenly suffer from sudden disease to lose light, how can the sunshine of the pain of life

At 7 o 'CLOCK IN the MORNING ON November 1, 2005, Zhao Yue, a 21-year-old girl, came to work in the government guesthouses of Tianjin Beichen District, and found a "strange man" unexpectedly. The "weirdo" was a tall, fair-skinned boy in dark glasses doing push-ups in a corner of the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. One, two... One hundred, in a twinkling of an eye the clothes on the body have been sweat soaked, but the boy is enchanted like ground to bite the teeth to insist. Then every morning, Zhao Yue could see the boy's lonely and stubborn figure. One afternoon two weeks later, Zhao Yue, who was resting, was suddenly attracted by a lonely and melancholy song. She followed the song to find a room with an open door. In the room, it was the boy lying recline beside the bed, playing and singing...

The cold wind wreaked havoc on the earth, Zhao month again came to the boy outside the room. From the open door floated the voice of the boy on the phone: "Mom, I have a cold, want to eat your poached egg noodles." Then the boy said, "Forget it, I'm just kidding. You need to go to work." Then he hung up the phone. In the door gap, Zhao Yue saw the boy lying on the bed with a face of illness, cheeks thin and haggard. Zhao Month in the mind I do not know where to come from the courage, she quickly rode a bicycle home, in a hurry to do a bowl of poached egg noodles, put into a warm lunch box, back to the hotel. She opened the door and gently pushed the boy awake. "Get up and eat some noodles. You can't go hungry when you're sick."

The boy awoke from his surprise, his shoulders shaking with excitement in front of the fragrant food. After a while, he said painfully: "Why do you care about me, now I am a useless person." After saying that, he slowly took off the pair of sunglasses: Oh, my God, the boy's deep eye socket is cloudy, he is a blind man! Zhao Yue's eyes opened round, could not help but emit a cry of surprise. The boy's lips twitched, because of the pain, even his facial expression was distorted. An unforgettable past broke free of the memory gate...

The boy, Yang Bozun, was once a healthy teenager. Born in 1986, he studied at Nankai Middle School before developing eye problems. Yang Bozun, who plays a good guitar, is handsome and dashing, and is the main forward of the school basketball team. Life, seems to be in front of Yang Bozun spread a glittering flat road. In 2003, Yang Bozun's eyes suddenly stimulated inflammation, vision overall decline, had to leave school in the second year of high school to recuperate. After that, his condition fluctuated. Two years later, his intraocular pressure rose abruptly, and his optic nerve died due to lack of oxygen for 24 hours. Yang Bozun, only 19 years old, was completely blind due to explosive glaucoma.

Yang Bozun was stunned! Suddenly, even simple things like dressing and eating couldn't be done by himself. Yang Bozun locked himself in his room, skipped meals and didn't answer any calls from his friends. He listened to Linkin Park all night, screaming along with the music: "Oh my God, why are you so cruel to me? !" Imperceptibly, has been tears. Because of sequelae, Yang Bozun's eyes pricked like pain, lying in bed with pain straight rolling, almost can not sleep a whole sleep. Yang Bozun often hit his head against the wall and tore his hair so hard that he almost broke down.

Those days, Yang Bozun's mother Zhang Hua because uterine fibroids to be hospitalized for surgery, but lying on the bed of her heart is concerned about her son, every day weakly read: "Bozun ah, my son, life has no steps over the obstacles, you can stand up again!" Father Yang Jiashu is more anxious white head, he and his wife are staff of gas company, the family is not rich originally, after unexpectedly exhausted all savings, the only son or disabled.

After spending most of the year in pain and decadence, Yang Bozun could not bear to stay at home and let his parents worry about him every day. In November 2005, Yang Bozun, who had received amateur swimming training for several years in his childhood, was officially assigned to the swimming team by the Disabled Persons' Federation and stayed at the hotel where Zhao Yue worked.

After telling the heartbreaking story, Yang Bozun's pale face was hung with a sad smile. He sorrowfully put on his sunglasses again and said coldly: "I don't need others' sympathy, you go." Zhao month already cried into a tearful, she did not know what to say, can only turn away. That night, Zhao Month sleepless night, she seemed to be able to hear Yang Bozun's heart fell to the ground broken sound, the boy trapped in fate, his heart is how desperate and helpless. A thought slowly appeared in Zhao Yue's mind, I want to take him out of the predicament!

The good girl came slowly, "I will be your lighthouse in the dark!"

The next morning, Zhao Yue went to see Lv Shupei, the coach of the swimming team, to inquire about the situation. At the mention of Yang Bozun, the 60-something old coach could not help but sigh heavily. From the first day Yang Bozun joined the team, he found that the 1.86m-tall Yang was the perfect material for swimming practice in terms of height, strength and body shape. Yang Bozun can be as old as carrying a heavy heart, usually quiet easy to fret, as soon as the water with a deadly like to swim, was used to points swimming lane cable tied all over the injury.

"There is a whole scientific way for blind people to practice swimming. Like Yang Bozun, I'm afraid his body can't stand it." After listening to Coach Lu's words, Zhao Yue's heart was heavy. The next day, she went to the pharmacy to buy a few bottles of medicine to treat trauma to Yang Bozun. Did not expect Yang Bozun was very impatient, waved away Zhao Month handed over the medicine, said loudly: "I can not use." Just touched Zhao Month's hand, Zhao Month can not help crying out: "pain!" Originally, the day before yesterday Zhao Month to Yang Bozun to send noodles in order not to let the noodles bounce out of the heat preservation lunchbox, has been held by hand, the results of a few hot blisters, at the moment the scalded place was just touched by Yang Bozun's hand.

What a kind girl she is! Except for parents, who ever cared so much about themselves! Yang Bozun hesitated to take the medicine, the heart warm, as if there is a fire burning. From that day on, Zhao Yue often went to Yang Bozun's house to listen to him sing. When he was tired of singing, she would read some positive prose to him. The boy in front of her was blind, but she felt an indescribable sense of security when she saw his big chest, his strong arms, and his sensual way of singing. Since the side of the Zhao month, Yang Bozun seems to be no longer so easy to mania, a quiet like countless hands in his heart wound. Those days even Coach Lu said, "Well, Bozun, your training has improved a lot recently."

One day in April 2006, Yang Bozun called Zhao Yue into his house. Early spring weather warm, a bundle of sunshine from the window reflected through the room is very warm, Yang Bozun slowly plucked the strings, playing and singing a new song "baby" : you know, is God let us not separate, you can think, I am dead set on you...... Touching tunes and hot lyrics, mixed with the boy's heart echoed in the room, a moment in the air filled with the soft velvety love breath. Just listened to a few words, Zhao month is a tearful, Yang Bozun gently pulled Zhao Month's hand, affectionately said: "My eyes can't see, can only swim in the dark sea, you can do that light up my way forward of the lighthouse?" Before Yang Bozun could finish, Zhao Yue said firmly, "I will!" She could not refuse this surging love, she felt Yang Bozun so silly, she felt he needed her to take care of...
