00:00He made breakfast for his wife for five years. But one day, he suddenly forgot how to chop
00:04vegetables. So he picked up a knife and slowly walked to Lisa, who was sound asleep. Then he
00:08gently woke her and said he didn't want to live anymore. Seeing that her husband didn't seem to
00:11be joking, Lisa quickly snatched the knife from his hand. She thought he was just tired from not
00:15resting well the night before. But unexpectedly, the hospital diagnosed Jack with depression.
00:20Jack had been married to Lisa for five years and was an undeniably good husband. Every morning,
00:24he spent half an hour preparing a carefully made breakfast for Lisa. Then he would softly say good
00:28morning before heading to work. All Lisa had to do was hand him the trash before he left. And say
00:32goodbye so she could go back to sleep for a nice snooze. When she woke up, she'd pour a glass of
00:36warm milk. And enjoy the breakfast her husband had prepared. If bored, she'd read her favorite comics.
00:41And before her husband came home, she'd have dinner ready. But lately, Lisa noticed something was
00:45clearly off with her husband. The cheese he used to love was often left untouched in the bowl. And
00:49sometimes he even forgot his phone when leaving for work. She quickly grabbed the phone and ran after
00:54him. Only to see Jack staring blankly at the trash can. Curious, Lisa asked what he was looking
00:58at. Jack said all this trash was useless stuff. Lisa obviously didn't get what he meant. What he
01:03really meant was that he wished he could become part of that trash pile. So he could lie there
01:06quietly without anyone bossing or judging him. Jack worked as a customer service representative
01:10at a company. Since the office was far from home, he had to squeeze into the subway for two hours every
01:15day. His job was also very depressing. He had to endure constant criticism from his boss. And often
01:20faced inexplicable humiliation from customers. Over time, Jack's mindset slowly changed. And he
01:25developed depression. But he never told Lisa about his condition. Because when they first got married,
01:30Jack had promised Lisa he'd work hard. So she wouldn't have to worry about daily expenses. She
01:34could focus entirely on pursuing her dream of becoming a professional comic artist. But Jack
01:38didn't know Lisa had already guessed he had depression. From his recent symptoms, it turned out
01:42that Lisa, who seemed indifferent to everything, had spent these years recording every word and action
01:47of her husband in her comics. January 6th, husband lost appetite, didn't touch his favorite mixed
01:51fried rice. January 11th, husband suddenly felt unwell, kept having unexplained back pain.
01:56January 12th, husband, usually quiet during sleep, started snoring heavily. Lisa knew these were early
02:01signs of depression. To cure her husband, Lisa bought many books on depression. After confirming
02:06that dietary therapy and rest were the best approach, she bought lots of dishes he liked.
02:10After working for most of the day to prepare a table full of delicious food, her husband showed no
02:14interest at all. Didn't even pick up his chopsticks before heading to bed. Worried his body couldn't take it,
02:19Lisa hoped he'd quit and rest at home. But Jack refused outright. Because he feared that without
02:23income, Lisa, who had never worked, wouldn't be able to maintain their current life. Thinking this,
02:28Jack felt he had to be stronger. But the next day at work, seeing the jam-packed subway with not even
02:32a sliver of space, his mood sank to rock bottom. He rushed to the bathroom and threw up. Jack realized
02:37his condition was worsening. If he kept ignoring it, depression would swallow him and he'd lose himself.
02:41And the one who'd get hurt would only be Lisa. After careful thought, Jack decided to apply for a
02:46transfer to the temporary staff department. That way he'd still earn enough to cover basic needs.
02:50And the work environment would be much easier. But the boss not only refused, he increased Jack's
02:54workload. Jack went to the rooftop to get some air. But bad thoughts suddenly filled his mind.
02:58Yet thinking of Lisa, he forced himself to carry on. Every day after work, he didn't even want to
03:03talk. Just collapsed on the sofa, motionless. Lisa knew she couldn't keep letting him sink. So she
03:08threatened him. If he didn't quit, she'd divorce him. Scared, Jack immediately started writing his
03:12resignation letter. He'd worked hard only to give Lisa a better life. If that effort made Lisa unhappy,
03:17what was the point? Seeing the resignation letter, Lisa finally understood why her husband had insisted
03:22so much. It was all for a promise he made to her five years ago. That year, Lisa had just graduated
03:26high school. She planned to find an easy job back home and coast through life. Then she stumbled into
03:31the world of comics and fell in love with it uncontrollably. On impulse, she applied to an art school.
03:35But reality wasn't as wonderful as she imagined. Her classmates were talented, confident top
03:40students. While she seemed lazy and average. Just as her confidence was crumbling and she was
03:44about to give up, Jack appeared. He admired Lisa's artwork immensely. Said her comics had
03:48more warmth and realism than others. Encouraged by Jack, Lisa regained confidence and started
03:52drawing seriously. But dreams need bread to survive. So on their wedding day, Jack solemnly promised
03:57Lisa, you just focus on your dream of becoming a comic artist. I'll take care of our home.
04:02The next morning, her husband prepared to submit his resignation at the company. Lisa,
04:05who never liked waking up early, held his hand and insisted on going with him. But the
04:09crowded subway in the morning was miserable for her. Realizing her husband had endured such
04:13pressure every day for five years, she sincerely told him, thank you for all your hard work.
04:17Years of hardship met with understanding from her loved one. Jack's pent up emotions burst out in
04:21that moment. Ignoring the strange looks around, he wept loudly. During the month after quitting,
04:26Lisa cooked different delicious meals for him every day. Caring for him with great caution,
04:30Jack's condition visibly improved a lot. But that improvement was fleeting. Soon Lisa noticed her
04:34husband's depression had worsened. He often felt he was worthless. Hit under the blanket and wailed.
04:38And even had strange thoughts. He wished he could become a crawling creature that didn't have to
04:42think about anything. Seeing her husband's despair, Lisa encouraged him in her own way to cheer up.
04:47Sure enough, with her encouragement, he stopped wallowing in self-pity. He just became extremely
04:51sleepy, often sleeping the whole day. One day, Lisa found their savings almost gone. If things
04:55continued like this, they wouldn't even afford basic food and shelter. Not wanting her husband to
05:00worry. Lisa, who had never worked, gathered courage and submitted her comics to a publishing house.
05:04But they thought her comic plots were too plain and rejected her on the spot. Luckily, Lisa begged
05:09them earnestly for a chance. So the publisher agreed to let her try catering to audience tastes.
05:13The moment she stepped out of the publisher's office, Lisa felt unprecedented relief. It was the
05:17first time she'd set aside her pride to ask for something. But she didn't feel ashamed instead,
05:21she wore a proud smile. Because she could finally provide for her husband with her own ability.
05:25One day, while checking his wife's comics, Jack noticed the author's name was wrong. So he kindly
05:29reminded Lisa to call the publisher and correct it. But Lisa was already swamped and snapped at him
05:34call himself. Completely forgetting Jack had depression. Her irritable attitude shattered the
05:38fragile healing he'd achieved. He went into the bathroom and decided to end his life. Luckily,
05:43Lisa sensed the noise in the bathroom and saved him. Seeing her husband barely alive,
05:46Lisa was overwhelmed with guilt. Her husband had taken care of her for five full years. Yet she'd
05:51lost patience after just a few months of caring for him. That night, Lisa filled her comic pages
05:55with apologies. The next day, following her husband's advice, she corrected the mistake with the
05:59publisher. And unexpectedly received praise. They said her attentiveness meant that if she poured enough
06:03heart into it, she could definitely create comics with her own unique style. Those words lit a spark
06:08in Lisa. She remembered the comics she'd kept for years, recording her husband's life. If she
06:12polished the content more, maybe people would really like it. But because Jack had depression,
06:16Lisa had been busy caring for him and hadn't updated her work. Then Jack brought out a notebook and said
06:20its contents might help her. It turned out that since getting depression, Jack had been noticing every
06:24bit of his wife's care. Lisa read just a page and was moved to tears. Every stroke in the diary
06:29showed her husband's love for her. With Lisa's meticulous care and support,
06:32Jack finally regained confidence. And, after a year, stepped back into the outside world.
06:36Lisa's distinctive comics were successfully published and loved by readers. With her
06:40husband's help, Lisa also turned her comic into a book, hoping to help more people walk out of
06:44darkness into sunlight. Soon after, Jack was invited to give a speech. About their year-long
06:48journey of overcoming depression together, Jack credited everything to his wife's unwavering
06:52devotion. Love is the most powerful medicine to heal wounds in the world. What we truly fear
06:57isn't illnesses or hardships but having no one to face them with us.
