In July 2020, Jiang Li was unexpectedly involved in a car accident. Though he survived after emergency treatment, he fell into a prolonged vegetative state. Faced with this sudden turn of events, his wife, Ding Ying, refused to be defeated; instead, she remained by his side, unwavering in her support. She said, “I never once considered giving up.”

　　Jiang Li and Ding Ying met in 2011. After five years of dating, they tied the knot. When she speaks of her husband, Jiang Li, a radiant glow of happiness lights up Ding Ying’s eyes. During those long days and nights when Jiang Li fell into a coma, it was she who stood by his side, helping him through one challenge after another.

　　Fortunately, thanks to the care of his wife, Ding Ying, Jiang Li regained a faint awareness after six months in a coma, which filled her with immense joy and gave her tremendous encouragement.

　　She began tirelessly training her husband, teaching him to speak word by word and guiding him step by step in expressing himself—tending to him with the same meticulous care and gentle warmth one would show a child. As Ding Ying put it, “You’ll always be my big boy.”

　　With her unwavering persistence and encouragement, Jiang Li not only learned to speak but also came to cherish his wife deeply. On one occasion, he brought out a piece of fruit, saying he wanted to give it to Ding Ying. When asked why he was offering it to her, Jiang Li replied slowly, “Because you’ve worked so hard.” At that moment, Ding Ying could not help but burst into tears of emotion.

　　Ding Ying’s companionship and care for Jiang Li have touched countless netizens, who have flooded the internet with messages of encouragement and well-wishes in various forms.

　　In the view of Jiang Li’s attending physician, Ding Ying is involved in both comprehensive nursing care and rehabilitation therapy, to the extent that she can practically be considered “half a therapist.”

　　The road of love is fraught with thorns, yet Ding Ying has stood by her side through every trial. Because of love, she’s willing to endure any hardship. Thank you, Ding Ying and Jiang Li, for reminding us that we can choose to believe in love!
