Yellowed wedding

The summer of 2000 as a charitable organization of volunteers, will be the same, another volunteer and go to a dying man former residence for him to clean up an old photo the dying of the elderly require only brought him a wedding.
To the former residence of the elderly downstairs, opened the door, greeted by the taste of the thick dust. The floors, tables, windows, bookshelves filled with thick dust, evidently for many years no one comes. I volunteer predecessors and peers on the shelf to find several picture frames, to take on a damp hard to wipe away the dust of the photo frame surface, to find a wedding.




This is a black and white photo of a yellow. Photo background is the shelf before I, flooring styles, tables, chandeliers on the ceiling or curtain styles are, and as of now, just clean and bright pictures, window through bright as the Sun, seem to be able to smell the book. Handsome tall man on the left in the photo, then look for the elderly. Photos of him in suits, face solemn and elegant, determination of the eyes look straight ahead, and intellectuals have issued the age of a gentleman. Standing beside his wife on the side of wearing white gauze, delicate face, fine and outstanding nose, like a mythical Elf in the West. Her right hand was taking her husband's left elbow, left hand holding a heavy Bible, was wearing a bright even dress, exposing her slender flawless legs below the knees. Bride in white on red faces at this time filled with happy smile, round eyes staring at the Flash on the camera, as she is seen in the eyes to heaven.






Peers who told me that the older generation of care for the elderly, elderly graduated from Whampoa Military Academy while war, once the Commander of a division of the KMT army. He got married the next day, the KMT Central command, immediately went to the front line. His new wife, as a member of army nurses also reached the front line. Days to the front again after the Japanese RAID, bandaged injury she was wounded, has been spread by stray bullets, died on the spot. He took command of the fight, held out for more than 40 days later, lack of military supplies and ammunition. Japanese troops break up lines, attempting to encircle the alive teachers. As a teacher he, with only around a rifle, a handgun and dozens of rounds of ammunition, fierce resistance, was shot by the enemy after the spine, causing total paralysis and almost captured. Also he was a squad of soldiers under him to break through the enemy's encirclement, successfully escaped. Arrangement of youguojun hospital nurse to care for him. After the end of the civil war, the military all retreated to Taiwan, leaving a disabled veterans. Later, for a long time, the old man lived a living begging day. Now people in neighborhoods and homes for the elderly, mostly only knows he is modest of few words, young wound, did not know all of his past.






Finally, we bring to this photo, the rest of the frame back into place, closing the door to leave. Afraid to disturb the happiest time of a couple
