Hello, the one and only “her”

They are wives and mothers, yet they quietly take on the roles of caregivers and nurses; they set aside their makeup and cosmetics, but resolutely lift the arms of their loved ones; they gather their long, lustrous black hair into a knot, bearing the hopes of their entire families. In the face of prolonged illness, true devotion shines through—single-handedly holding up “a whole sky.” Once they were the ones being cared for by their husbands; now, they have become their spouses’ ever‑present umbrella, shielding them from life’s storms and sunny days.


“She” is the wife who works seven days a week, staying by the bedside.

  They are wives and mothers, yet they quietly take on the roles of caregivers and nurses; they set aside their makeup and cosmetics, but resolutely lift the arms of their loved ones; they gather their long, lustrous black hair into a knot, bearing the hopes of their entire families. In the face of prolonged illness, true devotion shines through—single-handedly holding up “a whole sky.” Once they were the ones being cared for by their husbands; now, they have become their spouses’ ever‑present umbrella, shielding them through both sunshine and rain.

 

 

  On the eve of International Women’s Day, the occupational therapy hall at the Jiangning Campus was awash with vibrant blooms: plump golden peonies, sunflowers in full bloom, and fiery red carnations vied for attention; roses in hues of champagne gold, seductive purple, delicate pink, and spirited orange dazzled the eye. A flower-arranging event themed “Ten miles of spring breeze cannot compare to you; three miles of peach blossoms fall short of your grace” was underway in full swing.

  

 

  The medical, nursing, and rehabilitation staff at Nanjing Zijin Hospital interact with patients every day, fully understanding the hardships and challenges faced by family caregivers, and are often deeply moved by their courage and resilience. To mark this occasion, the Rehabilitation Therapy Center organized an event in which eight male patients currently hospitalized personally arranged floral bouquets to present to their wives, expressing gratitude for their devoted care and unwavering companionship. At the outset, only the male patients were present, and with the assistance of rehabilitation therapists, they completed the flower‑arranging process. Everyone was highly enthusiastic, carefully selecting stems and meticulously coordinating colors and foliage. Sixty‑year‑old Mr. Liu even searched online for tutorials on flower‑arranging, straightening each petal and leaf and smoothing every fold…

  

 

  The bouquet was carefully arranged and finished, after which the family members were invited to enter. Each patient then presented their flowers to their loved one. Sister Liu, clutching her bouquet, said with emotion, “This is the first time I’ve ever received flowers. That he—my husband—has recovered so well and even took the time to arrange them for me makes me truly happy and blessed.” Meanwhile, Auntie Wang, nearing her seventies, held the flowers in her hands as her spouse opened his arms to embrace her tightly.

  

 

  On the long road to recovery, “she” is the warmest haven in every patient’s heart, offering solace and easing both body and mind. May each patient regain health and return home soon, reuniting with their beloved “her” and stepping once again into the familiar rhythms of life.

 

“She” is a dedicated medical professional who has remained steadfast and diligent day in and day out for many years.

He also encouraged all staff members to take the “Most Beautiful Women Fighters” as role models, rallying together around the hospital’s development goals in 2023 and achieving outstanding results.

 

Her beauty deserves to be seen.

  

 

  On March 8, the Qinhuai Branch of Nanjing Zijin Hospital organized a fun “Women’s Day” event for patients and staff.
