Protect life, protect light
You put on goggles and a mask.
In order to avoid cross infection
Save time in wearing protective clothing.
You shaved off your long hair.
You, who loved beauty since childhood, did not hesitate at all.
Facing the fierce plague.
You have no time to be afraid.
You walk into the workshop with diapers.
So was the day you went to war.
The day I got my marriage certificate.
When you left, you were surprisingly calm.
Only said one sentence
I am a medical student. Time to go.
Since then, you have chosen
Retrograde and persistence day after day
Sometimes even sleep on the floor.
I remember, I can't help but remember.
You walk out of the workshop and leave.
The moment you put on your goggles and mask—
I left it on my face.
Deep indentation and big red spot.
Blisters and band-AIDS on the bridge of the nose
Big drops of sweat ... you said ...
I just want to close my eyes quietly.
Just for a second.
At that moment, my strong heart
Completely immersed in tears
I am also a father with a daughter.
Girl, you are so beautiful.
You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen.
You were born by the Yangtze River.
I grew up by the Wujiang River.
You showed me the boardwalk again.
I saw the ligature marks of the rope in the flesh and blood.
I saw the deep strokes of Chinese characters.
I saw the Great Wall and flags with body temperature.
I saw China in the winter of 2020.
Smiling red plum
Girl, I remember.
We all remember.
I owe you a black hair.
I owe you a decent wedding.
