Brilio.net - Healthy living is something that has been expensive since ancient times until now. When you are sick, there will be many changes in your life, both small and big. Especially if the disease comes when you or someone is about to get married. Of course this moment was a bitter experience.
Marriage is something sacred and is the happiest moment for every couple. Various kinds of preparations are made before holding a sacred promise, including maintaining the condition of the body so that it is always physically and spiritually healthy.
However, illnesses sometimes come at unexpected times. Like what happened to this pair of lovers. Two months before marriage, her future husband had to lie in hospital. The following is a report from brilio.net from the South China Morning Post page, Wednesday (3/4).
Liu Yue, a woman from Henan Province, China, reported that she would marry her lover, Zhi Aohong. Previously, Liu had been dating his girlfriend for 10 years.

Two months before going to the wedding, Zhi's body suddenly became ill. The man was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia . The girlfriend's physical condition changed drastically. His hair was forced to be bald due to loss and the skin on his face was black.
The disease suffered by Zhi Aohong is indeed a rare disease. Acute myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow produces large numbers of abnormal blood cells. In China alone, there is only a chance that under 20% of people will survive this disease.
Knowing this bitter fact, Liu didn't want to turn her back on her future husband. Even though his physical and health were declining, Liu admitted that he remained loyal and fought together. This decision also touched many people.

Liu said that as far as his girlfriend's treatment was concerned, he never thought about money. Their savings were drained so that the total costs incurred were 2 million yuan, or converted into rupiah, around Rp. 4 billion.
Zhi has undergone various treatments. Liu said that Zhi had even undergone a stem cell transplant. However, this action did not produce anything, so the disease returned. They are currently in a Beijing hospital undergoing a second transplant.
Now, what keeps Zhi alive is his dependence on drug doses. Liu said every two days Zhi had to buy a drug that could cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Reporting from Henan City Report, the two of them have been in a romantic relationship since childhood. Zhi did not continue his education after graduating from high school. He decided this because he wanted to work in Shanghai. He set aside part of his salary for his girlfriend, Liu, who was studying at university.

Thanks to Zhi's sacrifice, Liu was able to get his bachelor's degree. Because, Zhi was willing to save money just to send money to Liu. In fact, Zhi admitted that he did not expect Liu to pay back everything he gave.
Zhi is also not too worried if Liu meets another man on campus and then leaves him. The only thing Zhi hopes for is to give Liu love and respect.
Because of this, Liu will not give up fighting with Zhi against illness. Many people say she is stupid for not choosing another man. However, Liu's decision was final. If accompanying your lover when he is sick is stupid, Liu will have no problem continuing to be stupid.
Their story also attracted the attention of netizens. Many of course also prayed for the couple. Hopefully good news will come from them soon.
"They are both loyal and I wish them the best," one person said.
"No matter how their story ends, at least a decade of their lives was not wasted on the wrong person. Their love made me see the light in the world," said another.
