Her Silent Sacrifice

Three years ago, Shen Yanhan, a gifted portrait artist, suddenly lost his sight.

His fiancée, Yin Rujin, donated her corneas without telling him.

She told him she was going to Iceland to photograph the northern lights.

The surgery was a success, and Shen Yanhan regained his sight. Yin Rujin, meanwhile, plunged into eternal darkness.

She cut off all contact and hid in the most remote corner of the city, working under the false name Chen Wan at a massage clinic for the blind.

She thought that disappearing to give him back his sight was the best ending their love could have.

But he never gave up. For three years, through more than a thousand days and nights, he painted hundreds of discarded portraits of her, searched every institution for the blind in Tang City, and waited in a post office during an Icelandic blizzard, looking through the packages she had left behind.

With her eyes, he saw every kind of light for her.

Then he turned back and began searching again for the person who had given him the light.

When someone gives another person the most precious thing they have, what remains between them is not a debt, but the two of them becoming each other's light.

They opened one door after another.

Darkness, waiting, reunion, restored sight, seeing the sea, the rest of their lives.

Behind every door was another little glimpse of light.

"Without you, this world is hell. With you, there is light."
