In that winter, a boy fell in love with a Beijing girl at first sight at a party. The next day, the boy got to know that she was suffering from uremia for many years. Her life may smoke away at any time of the harsh realities. His heart hurt vaguely.
He lived in Harbin and she lived in Beijing. A few days later, he returned to Harbin from Beijing, but he felt his soul still stayed in Beijing, his mind was full of her, he decided to go to her side to give her the true love, inspiring the depths of the power of life and diseasing resistance. When his parents knew what he wanted to do, they opposed, “Are you crazy, you are not going to find a wife, she is a person who won’t be here tomorrow ... unless we are all dead!" He is the only son of his parents. Since his childhood his parents have given filial love to him. From the views of parents, he had already expected, and he did not say anything, continued to follow with his own plans of action. A month later, he sold his own Grand Hotel which was set up by himself and had run for three years. He put all of the money which earned by selling the hotel on his parents’ bed. Then he left for Beijing without saying goodbye.
After graduating from university she was offered a very enviable job, because of illness, she has been at home resting a couple of years. His arrival brought her unusual surprise.
Because she must accept the chemotherapy every other session, her parents spent all of their saving this year. He started to look around for a job. He found a management position in charge of the work in a hotel soon. The job required him to get up early and stay late every day, but every night she insisted to waiting for him comes back from work for dinner.
A year later, on the day she need for dialysis. Her body appeared in a great discomfort, her strengthen was seemed to be collapsed. She realized that if she couldn’t have a kidney transplant, the disease will kill her sooner or later. That evening, she calmly said to him: "I'm afraid I have not so many days left. Stay here is a waste of your time and emotions. You had better go back to Harbin ..." He did not say anything as before but brought water to help her wash her feet. Her tears well down in her eyes. She grits her teeth, and kicked over the Foot bathtub, yelling: "You are a man, if you around a sick woman all day you will have a gloomy future. You go out. I don’t want to see you again.”
She was shouting frenziedly, trying to show her contempt and ridicule, however, every word from her mouth became a sharp knife stabbing her heart. He looked at her and waits her stop until she was tired and stopped. Then he murmured to her: "I know I am not the most valuable man in the world. I cannot give you the beautiful clothing and shoes; I cannot give you the fortune and fame; anyway, I can do something for you in some small cases. I know you should get this then to be a beautiful woman all over the world, you are rest assured that and I will try to make you become such a woman ...” He showed a calm sincerity, and she cried like a rain.
Days passed away, next spring is coming. She finally had to go to hospital for treatment. She lived in a room residential building and the flower beds in front of where already deserted for many years. When being sent to the hospital, she looked at them and sighed: "I have always had a desire for flower beds in which sunflowers are planted and grow up. However it will be walking along it in which the nicely ah! Oh, I am afraid this may... never happen…”
A pleasant surprise is the hospital quickly found her a kidney match, but a kidney transplant costs twenty million yuan, she would rather wait for death. He also suddenly disappeared. His "evaporator" threw her into despair; she was crying as well as consoling herself: "You are a patient to die, so his departure should be understood. You ought to appreciate that he had had been accompanied with you for so many days.”
A week later, he suddenly appeared and put a bag in front of her: "See there is twenty million yuan, you are saved!" he returned to Harbin and borrowed money from friends. Once again, tears made her eyes misty. She had a very successful surgery and postoperative rejection is also very small. They are happy and smiling.
In the summer, she discharged to go home to recuperate. When getting near to her house she suddenly shouted at him in surprise: “look, flower beds! sunflowers are really pretty ah!" He smiled, looking at her. When her eyes moved to his face from the sunflowers, she understands: "The sunflower is you did it?" He nodded his head, her voice choked up: "I have become the most beautiful, the happiest woman in the world.”
Her body was getting better and better, which restores more and more hopes among them. Their smiles are more beautiful. One year has passed, and another spring has arrived. She accompanied him, to plant the sunflower seeds in their own flower bed. With the sunflower their children will grow up, his and her love story was a legend of nearby residents.
Finally, the brilliant sunflower set to blooming, that day is her birthday, after work, he hastily the rose and bought it home. He knew she must have been waiting for him to eat dinners. In the way to home, the help voice in the distance appealed to him, when he found two thugs on a young girl to commit robbery, he immediately rushed up. This assailant stabbed him six times. The two thugs were arrested by other people, but he stopped breathing on the way to the hospital.
Many people know or just heard the stories about him; they had come to see him off. She was crying severely. People have lament that she was such a poor woman. Cuisine finished his funeral; it was found she will be walk around of the sunflowers. In the autumn, that sunflowers were all withered died. She began to shut herself in the room; sometimes she didn’t say a word during a whole day.
She died in this winter. People have rumored that she was depressed and died. They are two ordinary people. People thought that with the disappearance of their lives, their memories will gradually disappear. However, every spring after that, someone always plants the sunflowers at the front of the building which she lived before. It continues ten years.
In this world noting can’t be taken away by time. But there is one thing will endure that is the beautiful love.
