Mate for life

When I think about my admirable hero in my heart, what originally comes up to my mind are those people who sacrificed their lives to the public .However, those heroes are too far away from our own life .Due to that, the hero in my mind is him, who mated for life with his wife.

When he was 50 years old, she had diabetes, which could not be cured. Instead of allowing her to infect insulin, he looked around for effective medicines all day, which cost great amount of money. Moreover, he declined his son’s help .Instead, he dug well to earn money. Each time I was touched by the scene that a 55-year-old man dug with spade all the time, hanged in the air and covered by mud when it was 35 centigrade. Drops of sweat were dripping from his swarthy check but he did not rest. What made me melt into tears was that he persisted in making money himself for 15 years before she died, just because he believed he could find other ways to cure his wife.

To make things worse, she paralyzed due to a stroke at his

sixties .It was terrible for him as he needed to get up several times at night to help her turn over and work at day. In all in, he just slept for four hours a day at that time. In addition, he sought useless wood in order to make a chair with wheels so that she could lie on it and enjoy the sunshine outside from time to time. Just before she passed away, he also learned to drive a tricycle and carried her to visit their daughters one by one. He said he just wanted to realize his wife’s final dream—seeing her daughters again.

With his care， she passed away peacefully. Now she has died for 9 years, but he still brings her photos.

This old but persistent man is my grandfather. Although his story is no so magnificent, he is still my hero.

I did not believe love at the beginning, but now my

grandfather proved that it exists. I am always thinking why their love can be so permanent, just like the swan, mating for life. Now, I have a boyfriend and I began to understand gradually that the connection between lovers changes as time goes by---- from a feeling to responsibilities.

It reminds me of the man, Mr. Wu, whose wife died in the Wen Chuan earthquake. Even his wife left him forever, he

insisted to take his wife’s corpse home .When I saw the picture where Mrs.Wu sat on the motorbike, connected by Mr.Wu’s clothes tightly, I was touched again. Real love is that never abandon each other under any circumstances.

On the contrary, today the rate of divorce is so high that people don’t dare to believe love .When the life is tough, we choose to cling to each other firmly, just like my grandparents, but once we can live happily, we are greedy in power and money. In order to get them, we can sacrifice anything, including love. So it is no wonder that people will desert their most intimate partner. Luckily, I have grandparents to tell me what true love is.

I admire my grandparents. I admire the people mating for life. It is so easy to fall in love with someone; it is extremely difficult to share your lifelong enthusiasm with your partner.

Thank for my grandfather to make me know the true love .he will be the hero in my heart all the time.
