Always suspicious of his wife's infidelity, he actually cut off her favorite long hair when she was asleep, thus completely ruining his marriage. Old Liu lives on Pengcheng Street in Xiyuan Community, Malan Subdistrict, Dalian City. He is 41 years old this year. Old Liu and his ex-wife used to be neighbors in the front and back buildings. They grew up together since childhood, fell in love freely, got married, and had a lovely daughter who is now in junior high school. One could say that they were a happy and harmonious family.
However, after getting married, Old Liu developed a bad habit of excessive drinking. Every time he came home drunk, he would pick quarrels with his wife. As soon as his wife responded, he would immediately resort to violence or throw things around the house. Their daughter was often frightened and would hide under the table crying.
Old Liu's ex-wife had a beautiful head of long hair which she loved very much. She would always tidy it up before going out and check herself in the mirror. However, Old Liu didn't like it at all. Every time his wife combed her hair, he would get very angry, accusing her of having an affair outside and dressing up to attract others. Sometimes, he even resorted to physical violence.
In fact, Old Liu's wife was very decent. She had thought about divorce due to the physical abuse but couldn't bear to leave their child. Once, after returning from a gathering with friends, Old Liu again suspected her of fooling around with someone else. In the middle of the night, while she was sound asleep, he cut off her cherished long hair, claiming that it would stop her from showing off outside.
This incident completely disappointed Old Liu's wife. She felt that her husband had severely hurt her dignity and decided to divorce him without hesitation.
In the three years since the divorce, Old Liu has been living alone, with no one to care for or comfort him. It was then that he fully realized how good his ex-wife had been, and how his momentary confusion had destroyed his own happiness. Several times, Old Liu sought out his ex-wife wanting to reconcile, but was refused each time.
Yesterday, he went to the community office, hoping the community could help persuade his ex-wife to remarry him. Seeing Old Liu's sincere attitude of repentance, the community secretary Han Meihong and the community mediation specialist went with Old Liu to his ex-wife's residence. After repeated persuasion, Old Liu's ex-wife burst into tears. However, she felt that mere words of apology were not enough to regain trust in her former husband. She said that remarriage was not possible at present and that it would require some time. She hoped that Old Liu would reform through actual actions in the future. But she said that on Valentine's Day, her ex-husband could come over for a meal.
The community workers hope that Old Liu will cherish this opportunity, reform properly, and win back lost love with his sincerity. Through this matter, the community also reminds all lovers that when you have each other, you must treasure each other, trust each other, understand each other, and tolerate each other in order to live happily together. Don't wait until you've lost something to beg for forgiveness and try to recover it. Reporter: Liu Kun
