Features: No matter how short a life may be, one will inevitably meet their beloved. If unable to stay with the one they love forever, pray for them silently—this is the love of the Little Mermaid. Everyone has the chance to choose their life again, but I don’t. I became exceptionally strong because I couldn’t escape the "negative" aspects of life. It was my only choice. The life I dream of is a peaceful existence that many are experiencing but few cherish—a warm family. I never imagined I would have such a happy day. A sweet sleep, a wonderful morning, a handsome man, sharing breakfast together, washing two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls. Then, we set off to see the sea. Before a mirror, I changed into the clothes Zheng Yue bought me, sat at the table, and quietly ate fruit. Suddenly, I began to cherish this beautiful world. This is a story about witnessing and waiting. A girl named Shen Biyun was diagnosed with thalassemia at the age of fifteen. She dropped out of school and was hospitalized for treatment. That year, her father and mother left her for various reasons, and from then on, she lived alone, working as a hospital cleaner to support herself while undergoing blood transfusions. Everyone forgot her name and called her Mediterranean. Mediterranean fell in love with an intern doctor at the hospital, Wen Zhida. She never had the chance to confess her feelings, keeping her love for him silently in her heart. Those around her showed her, and these acts of love, along with her longing for the young doctor, became her strong support in life. She, in turn, repaid the world with her sincere heart, her respect for life and her thirst for love, bathing everyone around in a more genuine and beautiful world of love. Unknowingly, ten years passed, and she experienced much. She learned to be independent, to be tolerant. She wrote about the people around her and the events in her life in her diary, pouring into it her love for them and the young doctor. These touching stories became witnesses to her life. Ten years later, one day, when Dr. Wen received this diary, Mediterranean had reached the end of her life.
