the origin of the "love ladder"

A sudden voice mingled with a kind smile, but several explorers were so scared that they almost rolled down the stairs.

2001, late autumn.

several explorers saw two white-haired old men at the end of the mountain road.

if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that humans would live in this uninhabited primeval forest.

they are almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the times at the foot of the mountain change, unaware of it.

this is reminiscent of the sentence written by Mr. Tao Yuanming: "if you ask what this world is, you don't know Han, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties."

they are Liu Guojiang and Xu Chaoqing.

the couple, from Chongqing, China, have lived in the mountains and forests for decades.

the explorers were shocked when they learned the whole story.

then took the story down the mountain and gave the climbing ladder a romantic and apt name: love ladder.

I thought it would get her dirty at a glance

with the description of the explorers, time seems to go back to the last century.

one is an ignorant child, and the other is a shy girl waiting to marry.

the gears of fate turned slowly, and the two people, who had no intersection, met like this.

at that time, there was a custom in the village that children who had lost their front teeth could grow new teeth as long as the bride touched them in her mouth.

that day the village was decorated with lanterns and a bride was going to get married.

the young Liu Guojiang followed the sedan chair all the way, looking longingly at the bride, hoping that she could make his teeth grow back.

when the curtain in front of the sedan chair was opened, what came into view was a shy and exquisite face, the eyes were very big, and Liu Guojiang froze.

with a poor vocabulary, he didn't know how to praise a girl, but just looked at her blankly.

this glance is ten thousand years.

the bride is Xu Chaoqing, and that day is her wedding day.

that glance made the man unforgettable for a long time.

Liu Guojiang said, "at that time, I was young and had no other meaning. I just thought she was honorable. I thought it would stain her at a glance."

later, at the age of the beginning of love, the villagers asked what kind of wife they wanted to marry when they grew up.

the face of Xu Chaoqing flashed through Liu Guojiang's mind and said almost subconsciously, "people like Aunt Xu!"

Secret love is a person's inner monologue.

Xu Chaoqing is already a wife. No matter how much he likes it in his heart, Liu Guojiang can only hide this love secretly and wait silently.

is probably predestined by fate. Ten years later, the two intersect again.

I will marry you!

when her husband died of acute meningitis, she suddenly became a widow with four children on her own, the eldest nine and the youngest one.

how difficult Xu Chaoqing is, he sees it in the fundus and wants to help her, but he is timid.

he is not afraid of being rejected and doesn't care about other people's opinions, just afraid that she will suffer gossip because of it.

the matter just slowed down.

one evening, Xu Chaoqing went to fetch water with his child on his back. as a result, he accidentally fell into the river and was on the verge of drowning.

Liu Guojiang's family was by the river. hearing the news, he couldn't care about anything, so he jumped into the river decisively and rescued Xu Chaoqing and his son.

how can I bear the feelings of youth? after that, Liu Guojiang often came to help Xu Chaoqing do some physical work.

three years in the blink of an eye, rumors spread throughout the village.

on August 1956, Liu Guojiang met Xu Chaoqing in the street. He wanted to come forward to talk, but Xu Zhaoqing dodged when he saw him, leaving behind the words "the widow's door is not too much" and ran away.

at that time, it was still relatively traditional, with everything handed down in the village. She was already a mother, and Liu Guojiang was less than 20 years old. Everyone was thinking, how could they?

loveliness is often so unreasonable.

finally, Liu Guojiang confessed to Xu Chaoqing. Looking at the bright woman in front of him, he said firmly, "I want to marry you!"

early the next morning, the villagers found Xu Chaoqing and her four children missing, along with 19-year-old Liu Guojiang.

Love can contain all things, as long as it is him, he is not afraid to sleep in the open.

you are April on earth

those who did not live, they went to live in caves, and the food they brought ran out quickly. Liu Guojiang went fishing in the river, while Xu Chaoqing went to dig wild vegetables.

they picked wild walnuts and dates in the mountain forest, picked the leaves of wood pulp and dried them, and ground them intoflour.

one day, Liu Guojiang found a honeycomb in the tree.

soon, the young couple added four more love crystals, and the big family depended on each other in the landscape and forest, leisurely and complacent.

but they also encounter setbacks. In the face of storms, Liu Guojiang and Xu Zhaoqing never want to give up and have fun in hardship.

as the years went by, my wife's legs and feet gradually became less sharp. Once she tripped down the hill and was hurt all over.

Liu Guojiang felt distressed and blamed himself. In order to make his wife travel safely, he was determined to carve out a road.

from youth to prime of life, and from prime to twilight, mountains and rivers remain the same, and his love for his wife has never changed.

Liu Guojiang persisted for 50 years, and after more than 20 pieces of iron milling, he finally chiseled out a 6208-step ladder, which is what later generations call the "love ladder."

every time he returned home after repairing the stairs, Xu Chaoqing would touch Liu Guojiang's hand.

looking at the large and small scars on her husband's hands and touching his thick and rough calluses, Xu Chaoqing burst into tears, but Liu Guojiang laughed it off.

O person on the tip of his heart, she deserves all the good things in the world, and everything in the world is trivial except her.

this is like what Lin Huiyin said: you are a tree of flowers, a swallow whispering between the beams; you are love, warmth, hope, you are the April day of the world.

it has nothing to do with secularity. as long as he is there, there is warm sun everywhere.

"Love ladder" finally became the last song

with the passage of time, the children gradually grow up and become families down the mountain. But Liu Guojiang and Xu Zhaoqing are still in their own world.

working at sunrise, tired and tired, the couple snuggled up on the top of the mountain to watch the sunset.

Xu Chaoqing did not expect that the young man who had loved her all his life would leave her first.

in the early morning of December 7, 2007, Liu Guojiang looked at the crops as usual and suddenly fell down when he got home.

Xu Chaoqing hurriedly shook his wife's body and shouted, "Young man, have you clanked?" Get up! "

but Liu Guojiang never responded to her again.

in the darkness, Xu Chaoqing, who is over 80, rushed down the mountain with a flashlight in spite of his body and the heavy rain.

on the slippery, mossy ladder, she did not retreat even if she fell, and her body was covered with mud. this was the first time that she had walked down more than 6000 steps alone.

"in the past, he held my hand and helped me down the mountain. Otherwise, he went down to do business, and I waited for him at home, but he never relieved that I would go on the mountain road alone. "

after 6 days of rescue, Liu Guojiang died because of cerebral vascular rupture, which led to cerebral congestion.

as he was dying, he touched his wife's hand, and the two palms, which were also covered with calluses, folded tightly together.

Xu Chaoqing put certificates, iron bars, hammers and other witnesses of love beside them. When Liu Guojiang left, his lips were smiling.

there is a kind of love that can understand what the other person is thinking without words, a look, or even an action.

after the burial, her son wanted to take her to live at the foot of the mountain, but Xu Chaoqing refused.

for her, the dirt house in the mountains is her root, which is loaded with bits and pieces of her and Liu Guojiang. All the goodness of her life is here, so how can she be willing to leave him?

five years later, Xu Chaoqing, who sank in boundless yearning, was finally able to leave with her husband.

in accordance with her last wishes, her children buried her next to Liu Guojiang, her wife who had loved each other all her life.

since then, "the ladder of Love" has become the last song.

the power of love

once upon a time, the carriage was very slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough to love one person in his life.

the world is singing the praises of the love ladder, which is worthy of unparalleled love, but is it only the ladder of more than 6000 steps that moves us?

not all of it. What really moves people is Liu Guojiang's hot love and Xu Chaoqing's purity to him.

is like a lyric in the song "ladder of Heaven": "try your best to be exhausted for love, and hold tight for life without feeling tired."

the power of love is far beyond our imagination.

it is rooted in everyone's life, as long as there is love in the heart, the heart will have extraordinary power.

this force drives us to move forward without fear of the world and everything.

after all, the first appearance of love is just a simple heartbeat.
