Just yesterday, Sun Zhuo, who had been abducted for 14 years, finally chose to return to Shenzhen and return to his biological parents, and the long road of finding relatives ushered in a happy ending.
More than ten years ago, a girl named Xiao Jingjing made a completely different choice from Sun Zhuo.
When her biological parents came to recognize their relatives with 500,000 yuan, Xiao Jingjing categorically rejected them and said that she would only recognize her adoptive parents in this life.
In the grace of nurturing and the grace of fertility, why did Xiao Jingjing decisively choose the former? What exactly did she go through?
It all started on a winter night 34 years ago.
It was the winter of 1987, and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Chongyang in Hubei Province braved the cold wind to go to the hospital to get medicine.
His wife Qi Chunlan was not in good health, and her chronic disease would worsen every winter. The two, as usual, came out of the hospital and walked home. The whistle of the cold wind swept over the ears, and there was a faint sound of a baby's cry.
The couple stopped to discern carefully, looking around for the sound. In a grassy spot next to the highway, they found a baby girl wrapped in swaddling.
The baby girl's face was frozen red, she was wearing only a very thin layer of clothing, and her cries were getting weaker and weaker.
Xiao Chongyang hurriedly picked up the child and took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Who left the kids here? The two stood on the side of the road for a long time, and no one came to look for the baby girl, so they had to carry her home first.
Xiao Chongyang and his wife have been married for many years, but due to their wife's health, they have not been able to conceive a child, and there are no baby products at home.
It was late at night and the shops were closed. The two of them tossed and turned all night, changing the baby girl's diapers and clothes, and boiling a thin rice paste to feed her little by little. After the child had eaten and dressed warmly, he finally stopped crying.
The next day, Xiao Chongyang ran to the hospital to inquire if anyone had lost their child. I went on for a few days without getting any valuable information.
Later, the couple summed up, 80% of the baby girl was abandoned, just because they had no children under their knees, just leave her behind.
This baby girl, who was abandoned by others like a grass mustard, was a gift from heaven to Xiao Chongyang and his wife. The two went to the relevant institutions to go through the adoption procedures, officially adopted the child, and named her "Xiao Jingjing".
The Xiao family's life was not rich. His wife, Qi Chunlan, has been recuperating at home due to illness, and Xiao Chongyang worked as a handyman in the canteen of a cotton spinning factory after retiring from the army, and the two of them survived on a little Weibo income, and spent a lot of medical expenses every year.
Children place an even greater burden on this already poor family. Some people advised them that children can grow up like rough breeding, milk powder is so expensive, just feed rice paste.
But the couple regarded Xiao Jingjing as a pearl in their hands, preferring to save money and buy milk powder, and do their best to give their daughter the best life within her ability.
When Xiao Jingjing was 3 years old, Xiao Chongyang was laid off and the family completely lost its financial resources. In order to support his family, he began to pull a scooter, carry a gas canister, and go out every morning at less than 6 o'clock to run for his life, and Qi Chunlan also did some sewing and patching work to subsidize the family.
Although life is hard, since I have a daughter, everything has run. Xiao Jingjing, who was nourished and raised by love, is well-behaved and sensible, and her academic performance has always been among the best.
Xiao Chongyang and his wife tried their best to create a warm home for their children, but the god of death easily moved his fingers to crush it.
In 2001, Qi Chunlan's health deteriorated, and seeing that her time was short, she was most relieved by her daughter Xiao Jingjing. After thinking about it, she decided to tell her daughter the secret that she had planned to keep for the rest of her life.
"I'm sorry, but Mom can't accompany you on the road ahead." If you want to find your birth parents, you go for it, maybe a better life. When Xiao Jingjing learned that she was not her own child, she was stunned for a long time.
Thinking of the love that her adoptive parents have loved her over the years, she shook Qi Chunlan's hand and said, "No, I will never go to them in my life, in my heart I am your daughter." ”
Before dying, Qi Chunlan explained to her husband that she must provide for her daughter to study and let her become a talent.
After Qi Chunlan left, Xiao Chongyang became both a father and a mother, and he worked several jobs alone, and he was tired and did not want to wronged his daughter.
In addition to helping her father share the housework on weekdays, Xiao Jingjing also worked harder and harder in her studies. Ten years of cold window, not to live up to Shaohua. Four years after her mother's death, Xiao Jingjing was admitted to Huazhong Agricultural University with excellent results.
After entering the university, Xiao Jingjing did not slack off in her studies. She understands that only when she is ahead of herself can she repay her parents' nurturing grace.
During those four years, with her annual scholarship and work-study income, she not only did not need her father to give her living expenses, but also could rely on her own income to subsidize the family.
Watching his daughter grow up day by day and become more and more excellent, Xiao Chongyang felt that everything was worth it.
In 2009, Xiao Jingjing was sent to the university for further study. Because of her outstanding performance, after graduating with a master's degree, she was sent to Canada for a doctorate and won a full scholarship.
There was a doctor in the village, and word spread in ten miles and eight townships, and Xiao Chongyang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. At this time, two strangers suddenly appeared, disrupting the peaceful life of the father and daughter.
These two people were none other than Xiao Jingjing's biological parents. Hearing that the child has become a talent, the couple came to visit with 500,000 yuan and wanted to recognize this daughter.
Xiao Jingjing's biological parents gave birth to 4 children before and after, and they said that because of the failure of the business and the family's difficulties, they had to abandon Xiao Jingjing. Now that the living conditions are better, I want her to go home, and the 500,000 is a thank you for Xiao Chongyang's nurturing grace.
Xiao Chongyang didn't say anything about this, he gave the choice to Xiao Jingjing: "Let her decide for herself, if she wants to go back with you, I will never stop you, let alone ask you for a penny." ”
Xiao Jingjing did not hesitate and categorically rejected them: "My father and mother have only one, my father is Xiao Chunyang, and my mother is Qi Chunlan." ”
It is worth mentioning that after abandoning Xiao Jingjing, her biological parents gave birth to a son. They lived only a few kilometers away from Xiao Chongyang's house, but they had never looked for Xiao Jingjing for so many years. Now that the child has grown up to be talented, he suddenly wants to come and recognize his relatives.
Xiao Chongyang and his wife have worked hard to cultivate their daughter into a talent for so many years, if it were not for their Xiao Jingjing's life, xiao Jingjing's life might have stopped on that cold winter night, and how could parents' love for their children be compensated with money?
After the failure to confess that day, Xiao Jingjing's biological parents left the Xiao family with regrets, but they did not give up.
Xiao Jingjing had no contact with her biological parents after that, but she was quite close to her sister, and the relationship between the two sisters has been very good after they recognized each other.
In 2015, her sister participated in the variety show "China Dream Show" and invited Xiao Jingjing to the scene to help her.
Xiao Jingjing agreed without saying a word, but she did not expect that what was waiting for her was a "kissing scene" that had been planned in advance.
There is a link in the program to help the contestants realize their dreams. The sister's dream is to let the younger sister accept her parents, reunite with the family every New Year's Eve, and take a family portrait.
"In fact, my biggest regret is that my sister has never been able to accept my parents."
After Xiao Jingjing was invited to the stage, the guest first advised her: "You have to find a way to understand, to forgive, to accept, after all, they gave you life." ”
Host Zhou Libo simply came to a moral kidnapping: "Chinese is very kind by nature, many people will help strangers, but they are reluctant to say to their relatives' 'Are you okay?'"
In this regard, Xiao Jingjing said bluntly that she would thank her adoptive parents, but there was nothing to show for her biological parents.
Hearing these words, Zhou Libo immediately labeled Xiao Jingjing as indifferent, vitriolous and narrow, and even accused: "If recognizing your biological parents will make your adoptive parents unhappy, then your adoptive parents should also admit their mistakes." They can accept you for decades, but can't they accept that you call your biological parents 'Mommy and Daddy'? ”
Xiao Jingjing smiled helplessly: "I don't want to, my parents are my adoptive father and adoptive mother." When I needed my parents the most, they didn't show up, and they were in a town, only a few kilometers, why didn't they even see me once? ”
However, the program team did not let her go, and also invited her biological parents to the stage. When Xiao Jingjing saw her biological parents, her face was full of only embarrassment, and she looked at her sister at a loss.
Her biological mother cried and hugged her, while Zhou Libo kept asking Xiao Jingjing to "keep smiling!" Keep smiling! ”
In the face of countless live and TV viewers, Xiao Jingjing did not lose her attitude, she just said to her biological mother lightly: "Don't do this." Then he smiled generously and finished taking the family portrait.
Xiao Jingjing is worthy of being "sober in the world", rational and transparent.
Xiao Jingjing later returned to China after completing her studies and found a good job in Shanghai, with a good income.
After getting married, she also had her own baby, and she took her father Xiao Chongyang to Shanghai, where she did her best to support her, and the family of four was happy and harmonious together. Xiao Chongyang no longer had to carry a gas canister, and he no longer had to live a hard life.
It used to be him who held up a piece of heaven for his daughter, and now his daughter Jingjing has become his biggest reliance.
The return of the migratory birds is a gratitude to the forest, Xiao Jingjing worked hard to fly up the branches, so that she and her adoptive father could live a happy life, which is undoubtedly the best fight against the unfortunate fate and the best reward for the grace of nurturing.
Seeing that Xiao Jingjing is living so happily now, I don't know how her biological parents feel? In fact, more than 30 years ago, the moment her was discarded, her biological parents had already severed their emotional ties with their children, born without raising, and became parents in vain.
As the old saying goes: If you are born and have no support, you can report your broken finger; if you have a birth and a child, you can report it by cutting off your head; if you have no birth and a maintenance, you can repay it without repaying it, and it is difficult to repay it for a hundred generations.
Whether it is born enda or nurtured, Xiao Jingjing has already made her own choice.
