English Original
In some cultures, a small object—edible or not—is hidden inside one ravioli or manti (an Asian dumpling) during preparation. The person who finds it is believed to be blessed with good fortune.
My own love story is deeply intertwined with this unique tradition.
At 28, while most of my classmates were already married, I hadn't even had a serious girlfriend. One day, a friend hosted a party to celebrate the birth of his child. His wife prepared ravioli and hid a button in one of them. They invited old classmates and new friends alike.
While eating, I choked on that very button. It felt like a small stone was lodged in my throat, blocking my airway completely. Realizing I might suffocate, I panicked and lost consciousness...
Fortunately, a hospital was nearby, and my friends rushed me there within minutes. I was taken directly to surgery, where doctors made an incision in my airway and successfully removed the button.
However, a miracle followed. During my week-long hospital stay, I fell madly in love with one of the nurses. By the time I was discharged, I had proposed to her. A year has passed since our wedding, and now my wife is expecting our first child.
So, that ravioli with the button truly brought me happiness!

在一些文化中，制作意式饺子或馒头（一种亚洲饺子）时，人们会在其中一个里面藏入一个小物件——可食用的或不可食用的。吃到它的人被认为会获得好运。
我自己的爱情故事就与这个独特的传统紧密相连。
28岁时，我的大多数同学都已结婚，而我甚至还没有一个正式的女朋友。一天，一位朋友为庆祝孩子出生举办了一场聚会。他的妻子准备了意式饺子，并在其中一个里面藏了一枚纽扣。他们邀请了老同学和新朋友。
吃饭时，我恰好被那枚纽扣噎住了。感觉就像一块小石头卡在喉咙里，完全阻塞了我的呼吸道。意识到我可能会窒息，我惊慌失措，失去了知觉……
幸运的是，附近就有一家医院，朋友们几分钟内就把我送到了那里。我被直接送进手术室，医生在我的呼吸道做了一个切口，成功取出了纽扣。
然而，奇迹随之而来。在我住院的一周里，我疯狂地爱上了一位护士。出院时，我已经向她求婚了。我们结婚一年了，现在我的妻子正怀着我们的第一个孩子。
所以，那枚藏着纽扣的饺子真的给我带来了幸福！
