-------------------------------------------------- -------------
George and Anna are a couple who have been in love for half a century. They rubbed off on each other, respected and admired each other, and lived a peaceful life without lack of sparks. However, everything took a turn for the worse when Anna had a stroke. As a middle-class intellectual, Anna is a powerful and elegant woman. However, under the ravages of the disease, she could not take care of herself, and had to sit, dress, and go to the toilet with the help of her husband. She even wet the bed. After her illness, she is sensitive. She can endure the disability, but it is difficult to endure the sympathetic eyes of others and the loss of dignity. And George did his best to take care of his wife. He always dressed his wife carefully, held her hand to comfort her gently, read newspapers to her, talked to her and sang songs. That's because his love for her is a heart-to-heart love. He cares about his wife's feelings. He couldn't bear the caretaker's rough brushing of his wife's hair, and the sight of her old body being manipulated at will. He knew her so well that he did everything he could to protect her dignity.
He still remembered Anna sitting gracefully at the piano and playing. That was the Anna he loved. But the one she was lying on the bed, gradually lost her words and became more and more stubborn. This is her, is it still her? However, when she was tired and didn't want to live anymore, he still stubbornly kept her. Shrouded them, is the afterglow of love.
Let her die, when did this idea start?
He knew it was going to get worse. But he wanted her to live forever, as they had hoped, to be with her until her death. Rather than caring for Anna, it is better to say that she has become a part of him, how could he let her go? This old couple may have discussed the issue of birth, old age, sickness and death countless times, and they have also promised each other that they will accompany each other in life and death. But there is a gap between imagination and reality. Finally, he was about to lose his patience and slapped Anna in the face.
Maybe, at that time, he was scared. Afraid of not being able to catch the afterglow of that love. Afraid that one day he will also treat her as an unconscious patient and treat her coldly. I am afraid this moment will eventually come. That was more cruel than killing her.
This idea may have circled in his mind many times.
When one day he told her a story to appease her as usual, he thought of the unhappy summer camp, the postcard full of stars. "Draw stars if you want to leave". If you are not happy, just leave, even if you leave, you will enter another sad ending. When he left the summer camp, he developed a high fever and was forced to isolate for treatment. However, he also could not stand a life without dignity and happiness.
So, this story became the touchpoint of his actions. He lifted the pillow.
It is said that people's survival instinct is very strong, and dying people are very afraid of death. However, why do some people choose suicide so calmly? There are many people who can't understand this choice. They say, "If you dare to die, why don't you dare to live?" "It's good to live." when there is no dignity. Some people can't live by instinct, they know so clearly that they are alone. Is this fortunate or unfortunate?
Some people see dignity as air, others don't.
Therefore, some people feel that life is better than death when they have no dignity, and some people can give up anything as long as they can live. Some women begged their betrayed husbands, "As long as they can go home." While these women sacrificed everything to stick to the empty shell of the family, some women ran away from the doll's house as firmly as Nora.
Actually, nothing.
It's just that some people regard dignity as air, and some people don't.
