Zhu Qinxian said that at the time, she didn't know what she was feeling. "I didn't even know how to cry; my mind went completely blank. I guess this is what they mean by a bolt from the blue," said Zhu Qinxian, who stayed at the Anshun Hotel.
Afterward, Li Weijin entered a "vegetative state." The doctor said that Li Weijin might remain unconscious for a long time. But seeing Li Weijin still breathing gave Zhu Qinxian hope.
Chief physician Wang Fangjun said that if timely massages were not administered to increase movement, Li Weijin's muscles and joints would atrophy.
Zhu Qinxian and Li Weijin are both from Quzhou. They have been married for 28 years, and their two daughters are already working. Zhu Qinxian is an official in a company, while Li Weijin is a railway police officer. Their family has a comfortable income and a harmonious life.
Zhu Qinxian has mastered the technique of administering injections very well. Li Weijin's eyes sometimes squint and sometimes open, but he doesn't appear to be in pain.
When Zhu Qinxian moved her mouth away from Li Weijin, Li Weijin subconsciously leaned towards her. When their lips met, a tear rolled down from Li Weijin's eyes...
At this moment, Li Weijin was still sound asleep. Because it was difficult for him to expel phlegm from his throat, he let out loud snores.
"I am Qinxian, you need to get better soon," said a woman as she kissed a man lying on the hospital bed in a "vegetative state." The man instinctively turned his head, and his bloodless lips kissed the woman's lips. A tear quietly flowed from his almost vacant eyes... On the 15th day of this month, this scene occurred in a rehabilitation ward at the Third Hospital of Quzhou City. The woman is named Zhu Qinxian, aged 51. The man on the bed is her husband, Li Weijin, also 51 years old. Last September 14th, railway police officer Li Weijin unfortunately fell into a vegetative state while chasing a criminal. In the 400-plus days since then, his wife Zhu Qinxian has never left his side. She kisses him several times every day, hoping to awaken him. Now, after more than a thousand kisses, this miracle of love has finally appeared.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhu Qinxian was awakened by the alarm clock beside the bed. Since the accident involving her husband, Zhu Qinxian has made her home in the hospital. The beach chair she originally bought has already broken, and now she sleeps on a steel folding bed.
Before the accident, Li Weijin's only hobby was playing "Double Deduction" online. Every night before going to bed, he would play for two or three hours. Dr. Mao Furong, the director of the Third Hospital of Quzhou City, suggested that Zhu Qinxian use the sound of cards being played on the computer to stimulate Li Weijin. Therefore, Zhu Qinxian bought a laptop.
Afterward, when Li Weijin went to the hospital for a check-up, he was diagnosed with brainstem bleeding and was immediately sent to the intensive care unit.
Under the dual care of the doctors and Zhu Qinxian, Li Weijin's condition improved significantly on November 15th. That day, Li Weijin suddenly mumbled his beloved wife's name, "Qinxian," and seemed to consciously kiss her back.
Without hesitation, Zhu Qinxian chose to retire early and devoted herself to taking care of her husband every day.
After a simple wash, Zhu Qinxian started preparing breakfast for Li Weijin. The breakfast consisted of eggs and milk. Since Li Weijin could not eat normally, all food had to be injected directly into his stomach through a needle.
From nine to eleven in the morning, it was the time for professional massage therapists at the Third Hospital to give Li Weijin a massage.
At noon, when Zhu Qinxian returned to the ward from home, it was time for Li Weijin to eat, and the temperature of the food was just right.
Thus, Zhu Qinxian spends her days playing "Double Deduction" with her husband and kissing him two or three times daily. This has continued for over a year.
This was also the time when Zhu Qinxian could leave the ward to take the bus home to buy groceries and cook.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhu Qinxian returned from home to the ward, it was time for Li Weijin to eat, and the temperature of the food was just right.
"The Vegetative Husband" Only Kisses His Beloved Wife
With deep affection, Zhu Qinxian hardly ever leaves the ward.
Zhu Qinxian's dream is becoming increasingly clear: her husband will surely recover.
In the sound of card games, Li Weijin seems to gradually become more active. At such moments, Zhu Qinxian would put down the computer, lean over, and kiss her husband's lips.
On September 14, 2008, Li Weijin accidentally fell while pursuing a criminal under orders. After standing up, he caught the fugitive, but on the way back to the police station, he felt discomfort in his head.
More than a year later, the miracle finally appeared.
Besides normal breathing and slight eye movement, Li Weijin has lost almost all functions.
Dr. Mao Furong said, "This is indeed an unbelievable fact. I can only say that it is love that makes miracles happen."
In the first week after Li Weijin was admitted to the hospital, Zhu Qinxian received ten critical notices!
And Dr. Mao Furong said that although Li Weijin's current awareness is still minimal, he has developed some ability to distinguish: when Zhu Qinxian's face approaches Li Weijin, he instinctively turns his head to meet her, even when his eyes are closed; when others approach, Li Weijin instinctively turns his face to the other side and emits unclear sounds from his throat, clearly indicating rejection.
Wang Fangjun, who has worked in rehabilitation for many years, has never encountered such a situation. He said that such issues cannot be explained using medical common sense.
