Right

Have fun every day

Reporter: Have you also been helped by the forces of social love, can you give an example?

Li Yan: Yes, when I was most difficult and helpless and needed help, since the winter of 2011, qingdao Haibo Red Streamer Learning Lei Feng Team knew my help, and volunteered to take us to and from the hospital three times a week for dialysis, and for a whole year, they did not try to return the favor to help me. Originally, from home to Jiangsu Road Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, a one-way taxi cost more than 70 yuan. I have not forgotten these loving brothers, and later I offered not to bother them anymore, but as far as I know, they have insisted on transporting many dialysis patients with other difficulties in life for many years, which is very touching.

Reporter: What is your biggest wish now?

Li Yan: After so many dangerous moments, I believe in not giving up, love can create miracles, and I hope that every day of the rest of our lives we will live happily. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, and we have to laugh at every day now.

Even if I am sick, I am still the "prince" in my heart.

"When we were young, we were neighbors, and since I was a child, I felt that Wang Jijun was a loyal and honest good person, but also a positive young man, always taking the initiative to help our family move things and work. Li Yan told reporters that Wang Jijun was two years older than her, had joined the army, and the military temperament honed after enlistment also made her admire him more. Recalling the beauty of the past, Li Yan still said shyly, "When he returned from retirement, he was a talent, and now even if he is sick, he is also the 'prince' in my heart, and I am willing to pay more for him." ”

The sudden illness shattered the simple beauty of youth, but it brought the two kind hearts closer together. In 1985, Wang Jijun suddenly developed acute appendicitis, the inflammation spread caused intestinal adhesions, and was hospitalized for more than 70 days and underwent two surgeries. At that time, the two were not yet married, knowing that his illness was likely to accompany him for life and affect his physical work in the future, but Li Yan was not afraid at all, nor did he shrink back. "For dozens of days in a row, I went to work during the day and went to the hospital at night to accompany the bed. Although Wang Jijun was so ill that he couldn't bend down, he still insisted on waiting for me at the hospital gate every night. Recalling the past, Li Yan remembered it vividly. Under her careful care, Wang Jijun was successfully discharged from the hospital, and after that, the two happily entered the marriage hall.

In the first few years, the life of this small family of three with children was very enjoyable. But as the days passed, the physical condition of her husband Wang Jijun became more and more unoptimistic. In 2004, Wang Jijun could no longer work because of high blood pressure; in 2007, Wang Jijun had stomach bleeding, cerebral hemorrhage and other symptoms. In 2011, as his condition deteriorated, his kidneys failed so badly that he needed to go to the hospital every other day for hemodialysis. In the face of her husband's sudden deterioration of her condition, Li Yan was also very afraid and did not dare to consider how to live in the future, but she never showed fear in front of her husband, and always supported and encouraged her husband with the strength of words and actions.

In order to cure her husband's illness, he was not afraid of any suffering

There are a total of 18 kinds of medicines that her husband has to take every day, in order to make her husband take medicine on time and accurately, the first thing Li Yan does when she gets up every day is to "dispense medicine". "His intelligence wasn't particularly good after brain surgery, so I had to get every detail in place." Li Yan will get up early every day and carefully divide the medicines that her husband will take in a day to prevent mistakes. Husbands need to take medicine for a long time, and they are inseparable from people around them, physical exhaustion, psychological burden and economic pressure brought about by medical expenses are very large, and it is impossible to imagine how much pressure Li Yan is under physical and mental stress. But she did not stop for a moment, "My husband's dialysis years, all my life was running on the three-point line: home - hospital - supermarket (place of work). In order to earn money to support her family, she worked 7 part-time jobs a day in Lotte Mart supermarket at most, "because her mind is full of money to treat her husband's illness, so she is really not afraid of any pain and tiredness." ”

In order to treat her husband's illness over the years, Li Yan's family has been in debt, and the self-paid treatment fee alone has cost more than 600,000 yuan. In order to save money to treat her husband, Li Yan suffered from a serious meniscal injury to her legs, and she was reluctant to treat her legs because of severe pain, this delay was 10 years, even if the pain was still endured for the family. And all this she never told Wang Jijun, "If you tell him, he will definitely not have surgery and let me go to treatment, so what I convey to him is always a positive message, and he will not worry about other things." ”

The bitterness and tiredness of life cannot defeat this strong and courageous woman. On the fifteenth day of the first month of 2019, her husband Wang Jijun's condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor said that Wang Jijun had relapsed due to various complications, and his condition was very critical, and he had to undergo heart bypass surgery immediately. For Li Yan, this is the most difficult and painful day in his life. After two consecutive open chest surgeries, the husband's chest cavity suddenly appeared a large area of bleeding, and after 53 days in the intensive care unit, the doctor issued a critical notice, and even Wang Jijun himself chose to give up. The doctor told Li Yan to be prepared for the worst, even if it is the third operation, there is almost no possibility of survival, and it will cost high surgical fees, and it is likely that people will end up with both money and money. Hearing the doctor's words, Li Yan, who had a psychological breakdown, had tears in his eyes, while giving her husband confidence to tell him that "love can create miracles", while forcing the spirit to say to the doctor, "Even if there is only one percent probability, I must save my husband, and the operation must be done." To everyone's surprise, the operation was finally very smooth, and under Li Yan's day and night guard and active encouragement, her husband miraculously survived. Now, Wang Jijun's surgery has been used as a typical success case in the hospital. After her husband recovered, Li Yan thanked the doctor, but the doctor said movingly: "Because you did not give up, your husband retrieved a life from the ghost gate." At the seventh moral model award ceremony in Laoshan District this year, it was Wang Jijun's chief surgeon and Qingdao moral model Yang Sumin who personally came to the scene to present the award to her.

I just did what a wife should do

"No matter what, even if there is a one percent chance, I will save my husband and make me pay anything for it." When the god of death came, Li Yan used his determination and love to pull the people closest to him back. In her opinion, it was just her own business, "I just did what a wife should do." But she is full of gratitude and gratitude to the countless good people around her, and is full of gratitude to society and the country.

"I am very grateful to my daughter for always being my 'backbone', she gave up the opportunity to go to college and offered to work in advance to subsidize the family; I am grateful to every doctor who gave my husband treatment, whose medical skills and love gave my husband the possibility of continuing his life; I thanked the government medical insurance policy for helping me with dialysis for many years; I thanked the enthusiastic citizens for donating blood to support my husband's treatment in the intensive care unit for more than 50 days; I thanked my relatives, friends and the community for all their love and help..." Li Yan records all the good things and positive energy that happen around her with a kind heart, and she also uses her own meager strength to give back.

Now for the patients who do dialysis with Wang Jijun, Li Yan is like their "leader". Because of her husband's many years of dialysis experience, Li Yan skillfully mastered the reading method of the test sheet, and the level of each indicator was clear, so she often helped patients and guided them to seek medical treatment in a targeted manner. The patients all thanked her and said, "It's so happy to meet Li Yan!" In life, usually neighbors have problems that cannot be solved, and they will also complain to Li Yan, and Li Yan will always patiently listen to and comfort them, "Our family's affairs can affect many families, so that I feel worthwhile." ”

"I have always believed that love can create miracles. For 36 years, Li Yan has been the "crutch" and "gas station" of her husband Wang Jijun, and under her patient support, encouragement and care, Wang Jijun has overcome the disease again and again and survived the difficulties. And she herself never complained no matter how hard and tired she was. Li Yan's father-in-law and mother-in-law are also nearly ninety years old, watching their daughter-in-law's hard work year after year, they are very moved, and everyone praises: "Such a good daughter-in-law, she is really not easy..." Li Yan did not have time to rest and stay, she said, "I want to leave more love and time to my husband and my family." In this way, Li Yan composed an ode to love with simple actions.
