  She is rich, is a city girl, her parents are high cadres, and the family has a nanny. The first time she went to the countryside, she couldn't recognize the wheat saplings and leeks.

  He and she first met in the playground. She suddenly had her period and dyed her white skirt red, but she was oblivious to it and was joking with her classmates. When he saw it, he blushed and took off his shirt and let her put it around her waist. That was a moment she would never forget.

  She tried to help him, but he wouldn't. How can a man use a girl to help him?

  When they graduated, they had to go their separate ways, but she was determined to follow him. Her family objected and almost turned against her, but she decided that this man was what she wanted.

  She had a precious jade bracelet that her mother had given her. When she arrived in the small town and saw that the family was in need, she took off the jade bracelet. Yes, where is the need to wear a jade bracelet in such a place!

  Soon, she became pregnant. Seeing that she had a strong reaction, he ran to the nearby mountain to pick apricots for her, but unexpectedly stepped out of the way and fell down the mountain. This fall almost destroyed her future and his. She often thought: What if he hadn't gone to pick the apricots? However, the world never has ifs.

  He was paralyzed, and the family depended on her for everything. Her parents came to pick her up, after all, for a predictable life in a small town. Yes, anyone can imagine what life will be like later. But this last chance, she still refused.

  To cure him, she sold the bracelet and accepted the money given by her parents. In the end, they were parents. It hurt to see their stubborn daughter suffering so much.

  They lived a poor life in a small town, she worked as a high school teacher, and he retired from illness to translate some books at home. She has long lost the pride of a big city girl, lowering her head to do everything, bargaining with small vegetable vendors, buying cheap clothes ...... and local women are no different.

  The doctor said her husband could not stand up again, but she still insisted on giving him a massage, for more than ten years a day. She didn't expect a miracle, she just hoped his legs wouldn't atrophy.

  At the age of 35, she heard that there was a doctor who was good at acupuncture, but she had to go over a mountain to find that doctor. She found a flatbed truck and dragged him over the mountain every two days to get the needles. In the wind and snow, she bowed her back and trudged forward. He looked at her back and cried: "In my next life, I will never meet you again, never love you again. Because you are too bitter."

  Everyone wants to love again in the next life, but he said, "In the next life, I will never love you again."

  The miracle came a year later. He could feel his legs. Slowly, he could walk. Good things came to him, and the paper he wrote won an international award. Many people came to him and he lectured around while telling about his life in the wheelchair for the past ten years and about the woman behind him.

  No one expected this day to come, no one expected that the light would come.

  France invited him to lecture for three years, and he hesitated. She said, "Go, you must go! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

  At this time, 36 of her have the first signs of vicissitudes, black hair with gray hair, the corners of their eyes piled up with wrinkles, clothes are always out of date, their body is a little fat, no longer the same; and he, it is the best time.

  France, what a romantic country! Someone worried that he would not return once he left and asked her, "Are you not afraid?" She shook her head gently: "No." She said that his love for her must not be love if it is still so fragile after so much experience.

  Three years later, he came back on time and stayed in Beijing. The first thing he did was to go to the small town to pick her up but did not tell her the exact time of arrival, only that he would be back in a day or two and wanted to surprise her. Who knew that when he got off the train, he would see her.

  He ran over in surprise: "How did you know I was taking this train?"

  She said, "I wait for you here every day, and I won't let go of any car that comes from Beijing."

  This time, he said, "In the next life, I will never let you love again because your love makes my heart ache, your love is too bitter."

  But she said, love is never bitter, if love is a lotus flower, the most beautiful love must be that clear and bitter lotus heart, all the way to the heart, and then to have that beautiful lotus flower.
