You raise me young, and I accompany you to grow old

As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. In Hekou, there are two brothers and sisters who have been taking care of their paralyzed mother for eight years, and have spent more than 2,000 days and nights interpreting the true meaning of filial piety and love for relatives.

encountered an accident, and the brother and sister shouldered the responsibility together

Eight years ago, Li Zhongyun and Li Zhonghui's mother was admitted to the ICU due to cerebral infarction. Li Zhongyun and Li Zhonghui have a younger sister and a younger brother, all of whom work in other places, so the pressure of taking care of their mother falls on the brothers and sisters. The brother and sister discussed and decided that the younger sister Li Zhonghui would go to the hospital to take care of her mother during the day, and the elder brother Li Zhonghui would be in charge of the night.

For eight years, Li Zhonghui got up at 5 a.m. every day to cook meals for his mother, arrived at the hospital at 6 a.m. to change his brother to go home to rest, and at 6 p.m. his brother Li Zhonghui went to the hospital to take turns to take care of his mother and let his sister Li Zhonghui rest. In this way, the brother and sister insisted on going to the hospital every day to feed their mother, feed medicine, turn over, and change diapers...... Accompanying my mother 24 hours a day, this is eight years.

For many years, he has guarded his mother with heart and affection

When I met Li Zhonghui in the ward of Hekou County People's Hospital, she had a belt around her waist. She introduced that because she hunched her body all the year round to turn over her mother, her waist often hurt, and she had been pierced with silver needles for several days. Li Zhonghui is 59 years old this year, Li Zhongyun is also 62 years old, and Li Zhonghui also put a stent in his heart last year due to coronary heart disease.

As the siblings grew older and in poor health, it was not easy to take care of their mother, who was unable to take care of herself. Despite the difficulties, the siblings insisted on doing everything themselves, and in their eyes, it was a matter of course, and it was time for them to repay the affection that their mother had selflessly given them life and nurturing.

"Because my mother is emotionally unstable, I don't feel at ease when I ask someone to take care of her, although I work hard, but it is our duty to take care of her." Li Zhongyun said.

Meticulous care, filial piety that has never changed

Li Zhongyun and Li Zhonghui's mother is 85 years old this year, the climate of the estuary is humid and hot, and the mother is bedridden all year round, so she needs to take care of them more carefully. "My mom doesn't have teeth, so I cook at home every day and bring it to her." While cooling down the food, Lee Chung-hye introduced today's food pairings. In order to ensure nutrition, Li Zhonghui prepared meat and vegetables for his mother every day, cooked them carefully, and fed them to his mother one bite at a time. What time to eat at each meal, a few spoonfuls to eat, and a few milliliters of water to drink, the brother and sister are strictly controlled.

"I turn over every 2 hours, and I have to change it immediately when I get wet." Li Zhonghui introduced. When the reporter went to the hospital for an interview, the ward was neatly cleaned up without a trace of peculiar smell. Talking about the pressure of taking care of her mother, Li Zhonghui said with a smile: "I just did what a daughter should do, my mother raised me when I was young, and I had to raise her until she was old." ”

Under the careful care of the brother and sister, the old man's physical condition has been very stable. Speaking of the brothers and sisters, the doctor in charge He Silun was full of praise: "Their family is very dedicated to taking care of the elderly, for so many years, the old man has never had bedsores, and the old man's internal organs are also very good." ”

Filial piety to elders and love for family, such a family style has always been rooted in this big family. As early as 2004, Li Zhongyun and Li Zhonghui's father was also paralyzed due to illness, and the brothers and sisters took care of their father for 10 years until their father died.

"'Plant more flowers, less thorns.'" This is the sentence that my father left the deepest impression on me. Li Zhonghui said. Today, their father's educational philosophy has also been influencing the family, and the siblings often educate their children and grandchildren to be kind and filial.

It is easy to practice filial piety for one day, but it is difficult to practice filial piety for 100 days. The brothers and sisters Li Zhongyun and Li Zhonghui deeply love the elderly, abide by the virtue of respecting the elderly, practice filial piety to the elderly, and insist on taking care of their paralyzed mother for eight years.
