Our reporter in Quzhou, Sheng Wei; our correspondent, Zheng Tiejun - "I am Qianxian, you need to get better soon." A woman kissed a man who was in a 'vegetative state' on the sickbed. The man instinctively turned his head, and his bloodless lips kissed the woman's lips. A tear quietly flowed from the man's almost lifeless eyes... On the 15th of this month, this scene appeared in a rehabilitation ward at the Third Hospital of Quzhou City. The woman is named Zhu Qianxian, aged 51. The man on the sickbed is her husband, Li Weijin, also aged 51. Last September 14th, railway police officer Li Weijin unfortunately fell into a vegetative state while chasing a criminal. In the following 400 days and nights, wife Zhu Qianxian never left her unconscious husband. She repeatedly kissed her husband every day, hoping to awaken him. Now, after thousands of kisses, this miracle of love has finally occurred. More than 400 days ago, a sudden calamity struck Zhu Qianxian and Li Weijin are both from Quzhou. They have been married for 28 years, and their two daughters have already started working. Zhu Qianxian is an official in a company, and Li Weijin is a railway policeman. Their family is well-off, and their lives are harmonious. On September 14, 2008, Li Weijin accidentally fell while chasing a criminal under orders. However, after standing up, Li Weijin still managed to capture the escapee but felt discomfort in his brain on the way back to the police station. Afterwards, Li Weijin went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with brainstem bleeding. He was immediately sent to the intensive care unit. In the first week after Li Weijin was admitted to the hospital, Zhu Qianxian received ten critical condition notices! Zhu Qianxian said she didn't know how she felt at the time. "I didn't even know how to cry, my mind was blank, it was like being struck by lightning on a clear day." Later, Li Weijin entered a 'vegetative state'. The doctor said that Li Weijin might be unable to wake up for a long time. But seeing that Li Weijin was still breathing, Zhu Qianxian felt there was hope. Without hesitation, Zhu Qianxian chose to retire and took meticulous care of her husband every day. Deeply devoted nursing, the virtuous wife hardly left the ward At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhu Qianxian was awakened by the alarm clock beside the bed. Since her husband had the accident, Zhu Qianxian had settled down in the hospital. The beach chair she originally bought had already broken, and now she slept on a steel folding bed. At this time, Li Weijin was still sound asleep. Because it was difficult for him to spit out the phlegm in his throat, he snored loudly. Except for normal breathing and slightly moving eyeballs, Li Weijin had almost lost all functions. After a simple wash, Zhu Qianxian began preparing breakfast for Li Weijin. Breakfast consisted of eggs and milk. As Li Weijin could not eat normally, all food had to be injected directly into his stomach through a syringe. Zhu Qianxian controlled the speed and force of pushing the syringe very well. Li Weijin's eyes would close and open intermittently, looking not uncomfortable. From nine to eleven in the morning, it was the time for the professional masseur of the Third Hospital to massage Li Weijin. Chief Doctor Wang Fangjun said that if timely massage was not performed to increase movement, Li Weijin's muscles and joints would atrophy. This was also the time when Zhu Qianxian could leave the ward. She had to take the bus back home to buy groceries and cook meals. At noon twelve o'clock, when Zhu Qianxian returned from home to the ward, it was the time for Li Weijin to eat. The temperature of the food was just right at this moment. Miracle finally appears more than a year later Every day after lunch, Zhu Qianxian would take out her laptop, plug in the wireless network card, and play 'Double Deduction' online. Before the accident, Li Weijin's only hobby was playing 'Double Deduction' online. He would play for two or three hours every night before going to sleep. Director Mao Furong of the Third Hospital of Quzhou City suggested Zhu Qianxian use the sound of cards played on the computer to stimulate Li Weijin. Therefore, Zhu Qianxian bought a notebook computer. In the sound of the cards being played, Li Weijin seemed to become more active gradually. Whenever this happened, Zhu Qianxian would put down the computer, lean over, and kiss her husband's lips. Thus, Zhu Qianxian spent every day accompanying her husband in playing 'Double Deduction' and kissing him two or three times, which had continued for more than a year. Under the dual care of the doctors and Zhu Qianxian, Li Weijin's condition significantly improved on November 15th. That day, Li Weijin suddenly called out his beloved wife's name 'Qianxian' indistinctly and consciously kissed his wife back. When Zhu Qianxian's mouth left Li Weijin, he instinctively moved closer. Their lips met, and a tear flowed from Li Weijin's eyes... The 'vegetative husband' only kissed his beloved wife Doctor Wang Fangjun has done rehabilitation work for many years and has never encountered such a situation. He said it was impossible to explain such issues using medical knowledge. Doctor Mao Furong said that Li Weijin's current consciousness was still extremely faint, but he had developed some discernment ability: when Zhu Qianxian's face approached Li Weijin, he would turn his head to meet her actively, even if his eyes were closed; once someone else approached, Li Weijin's face would instinctively turn to the other side, and his throat would emit unclear sounds, clearly showing rejection. Doctor Mao Furong said, "This is indeed an unbelievable fact. I can only say that it is love that made the miracle happen." Zhu Qianxian's dream is becoming clearer: her husband will surely recover.
