A Story of Love, Loss, and the Grace of Endurance
Liu Ming was born into a family of Chinese intellectuals during an era marked by turmoil, hunger, and hope.
He grew up, pursued education, fell in love, built a family—
only to watch life dismantle everything he cherished.
A tragic car accident took his only daughter.
Economic hardship pushed him out of the career he once depended on.
And just as he tried to rebuild his life, his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Liu Ming held her through every painful breath until the moment she whispered:
“I’ll go to heaven and wait for you and our daughter.”
Heartbroken and alone, his last remaining bond was his elderly mother—
who had lived in the United States for decades and spent 15 long years waiting for her son’s immigration approval.
When the long-awaited visa finally arrived
and flights were booked to reunite them,
the world shut down overnight.
Borders closed.
Airports stopped.
Three more years of waiting began.
By the time he finally reached her,
his mother was ninety years old, fragile as a fading flame—
yet her smile still carried all the love she had saved for him.
In America, Liu Ming became her sole caregiver.
He fed her, bathed her, prayed with her,
and pushed her wheelchair along the ocean shore.
In one unforgettable moment, while changing her, she lost control—
and warm liquid spilled over his face.
He only laughed and said:
“This is God’s blessing.
Filial love cannot wait.”
Mother and son faced illness, faith, loneliness, and the slow approach of death together.
Yet in the quiet hours of dawn and in the glow of sunset by the sea,
they discovered something deeper than suffering:
Love does not die.
It simply changes form.
On her 90th birthday, his mother prayed softly:
“May my son live a life warmer than the one he has endured.”
And for the first time, Liu Ming understood—
to live is not to survive,
but to hold on to love,
even when the world keeps taking it away.
A profoundly moving story of devotion, grief, and grace,
In This World reveals how a son and his dying mother
find light in the very last chapters of life.
一部写给生命、亲情与爱的长诗**
刘明，本是上世纪六十年代出生于大城市知识分子家庭的普通儿子。
他经历过国家动荡、改革浪潮，也曾拥有完整的家庭与未来。然而命运残忍地夺走了他的女儿、妻子与父亲，让他在中年骤然坠入长夜。
唯一支撑他继续走下去的，是远在美国、已经等待他移民批准 十五年 的八十八岁老母亲。
他原以为这趟赴美之旅，是为了给妻子争取生命；
却没想到，最终成了母子俩在人间最深刻、最温暖的一次重逢。
当一切手续终于办妥、机票在手、希望只差一步之时——
疫情爆发，美国国门关闭。
等待，再次变成三年。
三年后，他见到的母亲已风烛残年，却依旧在夕阳下露出那个等了他十八年的微笑——
“你终于来了。”
到了美国后，母亲突发病危，生命随时可能熄灭。
刘明开始了前所未有的照护之路——
推轮椅、换尿布、喂药、祈祷……
甚至在一次意外中，被母亲失禁的尿水浇满头脸，他却笑着说：
“这是上帝给我的恩典。孝心不能等待。”
母子二人共同面对病痛、孤独、信仰与生命的倒计时。
在无数个深夜，刘明在母亲床前轻声守候；
在无数个清晨，母亲努力从死亡线上挣扎回来。
只为在生命尽头，能再陪儿子多走几步。
这是一个关于失去的故事，
更是一个关于爱如何将人重新扶起的故事。
母亲90岁生日那天，她在教堂微弱地祈祷：
“求主让我的儿子活得比我幸福。”
而刘明终于明白——
活着，不是挣扎；
活着，是对爱的永恒坚持。
