Their life experience is just like the lyrics sing "It must be a special fate that can become a family all the way."
0.1 Meet
926 on the tenth night of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Xu Guizhen was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. On the morning of August 11, the same year, Cao Zhenwei was born in Shanghai Pudong . It was obviously a place that could not be met, but the world was full of fate.
Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei's father are friends of Eight Bibles, and they are "lived" brothers. They jointly opened a photo studio on Liugong Island, Weihai, Shandong, to specialize in doing business with the British. The two people have a clear division of labor. Cao Zhenwei's father is responsible for taking photos for people, while Xu Guizhen's father is washing photos in the dark room.
Perhaps it was due to fate. The two good brothers became fathers almost the same day. Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei were only a few hours apart from birth. Such a happy event made Xu Guizhen's father very happy. He added a girl to his family and a boy to his brother's family. If he could become a love affair between Qin and Jin in the future, wouldn't he be even more kinship?
Xu Guizhen
Xu Guizhen's father loved this young daughter very much. When Xu Guizhen was 6 or 7 years old, she brought her daughter to Weihai for taking care of her. Xu Guizhen was smart, particularly cute and very likable. Because he grew up in Weihai, Shandong, almost as a child, Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei have a very good relationship.
"Cao Zhenwei's father likes me very much. He watched me grow up." Xu Guizhen later said this in an interview.
The good relationship between his father laid the foundation for the acquaintance between Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen. According to Cao Zhenwei's recollection, his first meeting with Xu Guizhen was at the age of 16 or 7. At that time, Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen were still in their prime, and they were in their prime.

Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen met at the photo studio in , Jing'an District. For the first time, Cao Zhenwei wore a black Western suit. In Xu Guizhen's eyes, he had a straight eyebrows and a straight face, and was gentle and elegant. He was the kind of boy that girls like in their hearts.
When I first met Xu Guizhen, Cao Zhenwei also had a good impression of her. Xu Guizhen was wearing a jade bracelet, with a radiant look and looked very beautiful. Because Cao Zhenwei's father would praise Xu Guizhen in his ear from time to time, although Cao Zhenwei had never seen Xu Guizhen, he had known about this girl at a very young age.
Old Shanghai
"A sister" Cao Zhenwei called Xu Guizhen this, and Xu Guizhen felt a little embarrassed when she heard Cao Zhenwei called her that, and gently called him "A brother" . Then Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei had lunch together shyly and joyfully. After the meal, Cao Zhenwei took Xu Guizhen to visit the bustling place in Shanghai. Later, when Cao Zhenwei recalled what happened at this time, he clearly remembered that Xu Guizhen only stayed in Shanghai for two or three days.
The initial encounter between Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei can only be said to be destined to be without separation .
After the first meeting, Xu Guizhen's father took Xu Guizhen with his gift and went to Cao Zhenwei's home to propose marriage. However, unfortunately, Cao Zhenwei had already been engaged at this time. Later, when Cao Zhenwei was interviewed by a reporter, he said this with some regrets in his tone: "At that time, I had no fate.”
Did the fate between two people come to an abrupt end like this?
0.2 The battle was separated by
July 7, , Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, and it was difficult to operate the photo studio in Weihai, Shandong, so the photo studio of Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen's father was transferred from Shandong to Shanghai.

For Xu Guizhen, who was once acquainted with him, Cao Zhenwei has never seen him again since he got married, let alone the war was constantly in trouble at this time. He just wanted to send a letter, but there was no fixed address to accept it. Fortunately, life and war did not completely cut off the fate of Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei.
Japanese army invaded
Xu Guizhen had a younger brother. After the photo studio was transferred from Shandong to Shanghai, Xu Guizhen's younger brother went to Shanghai to study photography. By chance, he became Cao Zhenwei's "junior brother". It was precisely because of this relationship that Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen occasionally heard news about each other.
After pulling time back to propose marriage, Xu Guizhen's aunt opened a textile factory in Xu Jiahui . At the suggestion of her family, Xu Guizhen entered the textile factory to work. At that time, Xu Guizhen had no idea of getting married, so she lived quietly and calmly in the textile factory day after day.

Later, the Japanese entered Shanghai, and the war broke Xu Guizhen's ordinary life. In helplessness, Xu Guizhen returned to Changzhou, Jiangsu.

In Cao Zhenwei's memory, he hadn't seen Xu Guizhen for many years. Later, when he met Xu Guizhen again, Xu Guizhen was already married and had several children around him. In Xu Guizhen's memory, she returned to Shanghai in 1952 and found a job in Shanghai. At the beginning of her work, she met Cao Zhenwei by chance, but both of them already had their own families and lived a happy life.
The story here should have been a peaceful ending that no longer disturbs, but life is such a drama, and the ending of the story changed 60 years later.
0.3 Renewing the previous relationship
White clouds and gloomy dogs, time flies, Cao Zhenwei is already 2 years old in the blink of an eye. Looking back on most of his life, Cao Zhenwei is also very emotional.
0 , Cao Zhenwei's previous unit organized a gathering of retired workers. At the party, Cao Zhenwei met his junior brother. Seeing his changeable junior brother, Cao Zhenwei did not recognize him for the first time. Later, after learning that it was Xu Guizhen's younger brother, he smiled and asked: "Your sister is not here yet? How is your body? "
Xu Guizhen's younger brother didn't expect that Cao Zhenwei still remembered his sister. He was surprised and returned to: "My sister is still here and she is in good health. " When Cao Zhenwei knew that Xu Guizhen was still alive, he was very happy. After the party, he asked Xu Guizhen's brother for Xu Guizhen's contact information.
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen
Cao Zhenwei was very excited when he got the contact information. On the same day, he called Xu Guizhen: "Sister, do you still remember me? It's me, Cao Zhenwei. " When she first received the call, Xu Guizhen was still a little confused because she had long since lost her memory, but when Cao Zhenwei reported her name, Xu Guizhen still remembered it quickly.
"Is it you, brother? " Xu Guizhen asked with caution. "It's me, sister, it's me Cao Zhenwei. " When Cao Zhenwei heard the familiar saying "Brother", he knew that Xu Guizhen had not forgotten him. Even after 60 years, the conversation between the two was not mixed with too much strangeness.
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen talked a lot about the past. When they were excited, Xu Guizhen suddenly asked him: "Brother, come, come and visit my house." Hearing Xu Guizhen's invitation, Cao Zhenwei agreed without hesitation, "Sister, where is your home? I'll take the subway to find you." Xu Guizhen told him his address, and the two agreed to meet.

"I originally wanted to pick him up, but I thought that I might not know him after all these years of not seeing him, but he is very smart." When talking about how Cao Zhenwei came to find her, Xu Guizhen was very happy. She had a smile on her face and her words were a little proud, and she was proud that Cao Zhenwei was very smart.
Cao Zhenwei took the subway to Xu Guizhen's house. Considering that he and Xu Guizhen had not seen each other for many years, he might have no idea about each other, so he did not go rashly, but first went to the neighborhood committee of Xu Guizhen's residential community. After arriving at the neighborhood committee, Cao Zhenwei expressed his request to the staff of the neighborhood committee. He wanted to find Comrade Xu Guizhen, and the neighborhood committee called Xu Guizhen.
"Hello, is it Ms. Xu? An old man came to our side and he asked to find you."
Cao Zhenwei
Xu Guizhen received a call from the neighborhood committee. When they heard that an old man came here to find her, he immediately knew that Cao Zhenwei had found him. She hung up the phone and rushed towards the neighborhood committee. As soon as Xu Guizhen walked out of the alley, she happened to meet Cao Zhenwei who was walking towards her.
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen are both gray-haired. It has been two years since they last met. At that time, they were still in their prime. Now they look at each other, just like they were looking at their former selves through time.
"Sister, I'm here."
"Well, brother, come on."
0.4 The old man is still alive
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen's encounter again seemed to have not blurred memory by time. They talked about the past, and Cao Zhenwei laughed and said that he looked like he had the first time seeing Xu Guizhen.

However, this meeting is the switch button that accompany each other.
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen

Fortunately, the children of Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen were very supportive of their behavior together. They both agreed that the two were together, and they thought it was quite good. However, Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen do not particularly need to agree with their children's opinions. They always say: "This is our own business."
Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei registered their marriage with the Civil Affairs Bureau on September 23, 2020. Speaking of the reason for their marriage, it is actually an interesting thing.
Because Xu Guizhen is getting older, Xu Guizhen's daughter is very worried about Xu Guizhen. Usually, Xu Guizhen is alone at home, and no one can notice anything if there is any accident, so she asked her: "Mom, do you want to go to the nursing home?" After considering it, Xu Guizhen decided to go to the nursing home.
Xu Guizhen, who made the decision, called Cao Zhenwei: "Brother, I'm going to the nursing home. Don't come to my house to run empty. It's such a long way, don't run empty anymore. I'm not here." After Cao Zhenwei knew that Xu Guizhen went to the nursing home, he also told Xu Guizhen that he would go to the nursing home.
Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei both decided to go to the nursing home, so they decided to get married.
"When I come to the nursing home, if I am not well married to him, then living together is not decent. We have issued a certificate in the Civil Affairs Bureau, neighborhood committee, and street, and issued a marriage certificate , then we are in the same room, and living in a more decent place. If we live together without a certificate, it is not very legitimate." Later, when Xu Guizhen talked about why the two chose to get married, she would explain it to everyone very seriously.
After Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen got married, they moved to the nursing home together. They arranged a new house together in the nursing home. They pasted red couplets with unison and united hearts by the door. In the center of the door, they also pasted the bright red "囍" character seriously and neatly, and finally gave everyone a wedding candy.
Nursing Home
"The nursing home will be our home in the future. We don't want to cause trouble for our children, so we both stay here with peace of mind. The two of us can talk, take care of each other, and then enjoy our old age here." Xu Guizhen is very satisfied with her current life.
Cao Zhenwei also likes his current life very much. He said: "We are very compatible. We have lived here for 2 years and are very accustomed to the environment here. Usually we will go downstairs to take a walk and play Tai Chi . If you have nothing to do, just watch TV in the house. It's like at home in the nursing home."
Cao Zhenwei and Xu Guizhen
Cao Zhenwei called Xu Guizhen "Sister", Xu Guizhen called Cao Zhenwei "Brother". Every ordinary cry is filled with a faint sense of happiness. Just as the saying goes, "The title is the shortest magic. As long as I call you, no matter what you are doing, I will look at me."
Xu Guizhen and Cao Zhenwei have a very tacit understanding. When doing activities, Xu Guizhen will take care of Cao Zhenwei and then exercise together. When Xu Guizhen needs to go downstairs to prescribe medicine, Cao Zhenwei will always rush up to help. The two of them have a clear division of labor, treat life seriously and happily, and live a dull life with a good taste.
"We are not like young people in love. We should talk about 'you love me' and 'I love you'. We are together to care for each other and take care of each other." Xu Guizhen will tell everyone very gently when facing everyone.
Marriage is indeed not necessarily just "The mountains have no edges, and the river is exhausted. winter thunder shakes, summer rain and snow. Heaven and earth are united, but I dare to break up with you." 's vast love may also be "half fireworks, half pure joy, half striving for happiness, and half life with fate" 's plainness together. Companionship and taking care of each other may be the meaning of "getting old together".
