The story is based on the true events of filmmaker Jonathan's parents. It restores a love story of love at first sight that lasts forever, and describes the power that true love brings to life when faced with the test of life and death.
Sunshine, cheerful and adventurous, Robin, a young and promising retired non-commissioned officer, met Diana, an elegant, gentle and beautiful British woman on the African continent. The two fell in love at first sight and soon decided to enter the palace of marriage.
The 28-year-old Robin was having fun with his family after marriage, when he turned the hula hoop for the first time when he noticed physical discomfort. He was covered with ice cubes and underwent surgery. This may be the first time he feels optimistic that life is suffering and life is fragile.
Robin, who suffered from polio, lost all his mobility and even had to rely on machines to maintain his breathing. Doctors predicted that Robin could live up to 3 months.
Oxygen can't pass through his throat, so he can't speak. Paralysis was the fate he was about to face in the second half of his life, and he could neither struggle nor escape.
The future was so bleak that Robin even begged his wife Diana to let him end his life. Diana, now pregnant, refuses to give in to Robin's negative energy. Although the doctor diagnosed Robin with only 3 months to live, Robin did not believe his fate and made the decision to be discharged together with his wife, taking the risk of "once off the ventilator, Robin can only live for 2 minutes" , buys the cottage in the suburbs and takes Robin home from the hospital to take care of him.
Robin was connected to a ventilator at home, surrounded by family and friends, including his wife's brothers Bloggs and David, and Oxford University professor Teddy. Doctors and a ventilator kept Robin physically alive, and the love and support from his lover, children and friends gave Robin a new spiritual life. Diana firmly told Robin that "you live is my life" (you live is my life), Robin understood the meaning of his life to Diana and the children, and he had to work hard to live. Friends lend a helping hand and develop custom appliances for Robin.
Robin on the hospital bed came up with many brilliant ideas:
· He put a bell next to his head and tilted his head when he needed help, so that his family could hear his cries;
· He installed a shelf next to the bed and used clips to hold newspapers so that they could be read;
· Seeing his younger son pushing the stroller, he had an idea and asked his friend to create a wheelchair with a built-in ventilator...
The three-hour battery in the wheelchair with the built-in ventilator means Robin can "walk" out of the house. Wife Diana and son Jonathan often push him out for walks, and friends gather in front of their house. Everyone loves talking to Robin, he's a good listener.
One day Diana and her son were looking at a photo album. The son saw an elephant in Africa and asked Robin: When can we go to Africa? Knowing that this was an adventure, they still chose to set off. They converted a small car, Robin's wheelchair can be fixed in the passenger seat, can see the roadside scenery. Later, they went to Spain.
With the wheelchair, Robin went back to the hospital to visit patients. The patients who were still only able to lie in bed were surprised to see Robin who was "moving freely" and were happy for him. The dean said that this is an unrealistic hope and that the patient's life should not be played with. The dean never thought that Robin would be fine without the hospital, even though Robin was still alive to appear in front of him.
While in Spain, Robin realized that he could help more people. Eleven years after being ill, he went to see Dr. Aitken, a director of the Disability Research Foundation. Dr. Aitken was surprised by Robin's wheelchair and was interested in ordering a batch of the same.
The first batch of wheelchairs were given to patients in the hospital. With his enthusiasm and actions, Robin helped them escape the rest of their lives that could only be lying in a hospital bed. When he heard that tens of thousands of people around the world were sick like him, Robin wanted to prove to them that there was another possibility for life.
Dr. Eckent takes Robin on a tour of a senior nursing home for the severely handicapped. In this hospital, all patients are taken by Dr. Ekent to Robin on a tour of a senior nursing home for the severely handicapped. In this hospital, all patients are fixed in advanced and modern medical equipment, only the movable head is exposed. The hospital is clean and flawless. While receiving state-of-the-art care, they certainly don't live as well as Robin.
Assisted by Dr. Eckent, Robin and Diana entered a European conference on severely disabled patients in Germany. Robin can be said to "break" into the venue. In this conference on how to manage disabled patients, there was not a single disabled person.
The appearance of Robin surprised the doctors. His remarks changed doctors' views on severely disabled patients.
The hospital that Robin visited was under the jurisdiction of the state's department in charge of prisons. In his opinion, a patient lying in a hospital bed is like a prisoner in a prison, without seeing the light of day.
Robin's wonderful remarks won applause from all the experts and doctors present.
In a true story, Robin and friend Professor Teddy designed a wheelchair that changed the lives of thousands of severely disabled patients.
After more than 30 years of illness, Robin's lungs are highly susceptible to infection due to prolonged use of a ventilator, and he often bleeds suddenly, and the situation will only get worse, so severe that he may drown in a pool of his own blood.
This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Robin's life. He announced his decision to say goodbye to his wife and son: "I gave myself permission to leave."
Robin arranged a farewell party, and his friends were reluctant to part with him, but they still said goodbye to him one by one. The party atmosphere was very happy, and Robin left with everyone's blessings. In order not to implicate his wife and children, he asked the doctor to assist him, and spared his wife and son so that they would not be suspected.
Looking back on Robin's life after his illness, he first lived for his wife and son, and he witnessed his son grow up. He struggled with life firmly, and infected the people around him, whether it was friends or strangers, there would be people around him wherever he went.
In the end, he chose to fulfill himself and bid farewell to the world with dignity. From death to life, from life to death, Robin lived a meaningful life and died properly. He and Diana understood the true meaning of love and the meaning of life.
Your life is my life.
Your life is my life.
You are my love is my life
You are my love and my life.
