Zhang Jianxia is the only daughter of an ordinary farmer in Xingtang, Hebei Province, whose parents have not read much and rely on farming to make a living.
Zhang Jianxia's family had high hopes for her since she was a child, wanting to change her fate through reading, but Zhang Jianxia has a lively personality and is not very good at Xi learning.
After graduating from junior high school, she decided to give up continuing high school and work in other places to earn a living.
In the years when she went out to work, Zhang Jianxia learned the ability to survive independently, she met many people in the city, saw a lot of knowledge, and accumulated life experience.
After getting acquainted with fellow countryman Wang Xiang, the two quickly came together, Wang Liang was steady and steadfast, complementing Zhang Jianxia's personality, and Wang Liang's family also liked Zhang Jianxia's lively and happy personality.
In 2004, Zhang Jianxia and Wang Liang held a wedding in their hometown, and their married life was not bad, and Wang Liang had a stable job in Shijiazhuang.
However, Zhang Jianxia missed her hometown, and the two decided to go back to their hometown to start a business after discussion, and they jointly opened a small hotel, Zhang Jianxia was responsible for reception, and Wang Liang went to the city to purchase and operate.
In 2005, Zhang Jianxia gave birth to a son, Wang Liang's parents were very happy, and came to help take care of the children every day, three generations lived together, Zhang Jianxia felt extremely happy and satisfied.
However, the good times did not last long, and at this moment, her father-in-law Wang Zhenlong had a problem with his body, Wang Zhenlong's health was not very good, and he was obviously weaker and thinner during this time.
Zhang Jianxia and his wife took him to the hospital for examination, and the result turned out to be advanced liver cancer, this sudden bad news made everyone in the family despair, Wang Zhenlong's condition is very critical, and he must undergo a liver transplant as soon as possible, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to save it.

Wang Zhenlong's wife and son immediately took action, looking for a possible liver source, they asked all their relatives and friends, and even knelt down to plead with unfamiliar people, hoping to find the life-saving straw.
However, in the face of the term "liver transplant", everyone sternly rejected and fled, and this instinct of self-preservation deeply stung Wang Zhenlong's family, who were desperate and helpless.
As the days passed, Wang Zhenlong's situation deteriorated, and finally one day, his daughter-in-law Zhang Jianxia mustered up the courage to propose that she should check the matching for her father-in-law! For a while, the whole family was shocked.
The father-in-law strongly objected, fearing that he would bring harm to his daughter-in-law; The mother-in-law also said worriedly, you are still so young and have children to take care of, but Zhang Jianxia did not hesitate - she insisted that this was her choice.
The result of the matching made her surprised and delighted: Zhang Jianxia and her father-in-law were a perfect match! She could become the hope of her father-in-law's rebirth.
At this time, Zhang Jianxia was entangled in her heart, she understood that the risk of this operation was not small, and the dilemma made her annoyed, a woman with just the right youth, can she really fight alone?
However, she understands that if her father-in-law can get better, it will also be of great help to her family.

Zhang Jianxia went to persuade her husband Wang Liang first, and Wang Liang was so excited that she burst into tears and thanked her for her righteousness.
Next, Zhang Jianxia went to discuss with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law choked and hugged Zhang Jianxia, grateful for her filial piety to treat her father-in-law as her own, but also worried about her physical damage.
At this time, Wang Zhenlong was extremely angry when he learned that Zhang Jianxia was going to donate his liver, how could a daughter-in-law take this risk for the old fool like me? I am willing to die even if I die!
Zhang Jianxia was once in a dilemma, and in the face of her father-in-law's strong opposition, she begged bitterly, for the sake of the family, you must live! I have made up my mind that this is the responsibility of my daughter-in-law, and it is also the only thing I can do for this family.
Looking at her father-in-law's increasingly thin figure, Zhang Jianxia pleaded with her mother-in-law with red eyes, please persuade Dad!
Time passed, but Wang Zhenlong's condition was getting worse, and finally, under the soft grinding and hard foaming of his wife and children, the old man couldn't bear to watch his family frightened for him, and agreed to have surgery.
On the day of the operation, the retreat was exhausted, Zhang Jianxia gritted her teeth and completed the operation, fortunately, her father-in-law and her were safe.
When my father-in-law came to his senses, the first thing he did was to take Zhang Jianxia's hand and say: I owe you too much, you will be the backbone of this family from now on!

After Zhang Jianxia had undergone liver mutilation, her father-in-law's condition improved, but she herself faced an unexpected physical problem - small liver syndrome, which brought a huge blow to Zhang Jianxia and the Wang family.
Zhang Jianxia can only stay in bed to recuperate, she understands that her father-in-law needs to be taken care of, and she also needs someone to take care of her, in order to reduce the burden on her mother-in-law, she proposed to go back to her parents' house to recuperate, although her mother-in-law was reluctant, but she nodded silently.
However, when Zhang's parents learned the truth, they were furious, how could you do such a risky thing without telling us? Don't you treat us as family members? We want you to divorce Wang Liang! Zhang Jianxia begged bitterly, but her parents were resolute.
In desperation, Zhang Jianxia could only return to Wang's house, Wang Liang went out every day to make money to pay off debts, and all the things in the family fell on her mother-in-law alone, Zhang Jianxia wanted to get better as soon as possible, but her physical condition was not as good as day by day.

What Zhang Jianxia didn't expect was that this rescue of his life only won three years for his father-in-law.
Three years later, her father-in-law still died, leaving behind huge medical bills and foreign debts, and Zhang Jianxia and Wang Liang had to work every day, living in the shadow of high debts.
Zhang Jianxia often tosses and turns in the middle of the night, and what echoes in her mind is the picture of her father-in-law coughing up blood.
An old man who can't stay at home in the last few years, can't witness the growth of his beloved grandson, is that really what my sacrifice has come about?
When Zhang Jianxia asked herself like this, endless guilt and self-blame surged in my heart, I could have had a normal job, a normal life, and a future like a normal person, but what I cut off with my own hands was my own happiness.
Just when Zhang Jianxia felt sorry for herself, her deeds spread among the neighbors, and gradually became known in the county, Zhang Jianxia was called a model of filial piety and a model of enthusiasm for public welfare.
In the face of attention and praise from all sides, Zhang Jianxia's heart is mixed, I have been regretting my decision, am I worthy of these praises? I am more selfish than ordinary people, how can they regard me as a hero?
Occasionally, when Zhang Jianxia walked alone on the country road, she would inadvertently turn to her mother's house, hide in the wall of the old house, and look at the busy old couple inside through the window.
She understands that she and Wang Liang have been too deeply involved, and no matter where she goes, her past choices will follow and torture her for the rest of her life.
Zhang Jianxia's deeds were quickly made into a movie, although she never thought that she would have the slightest "achievement", but since her reputation has spread, she can only try her best to live up to expectations.
In her spare time, Zhang Jianxia does her best to participate in some public welfare and charity projects, and she will also be invited by some colleges and universities to give speeches to students, tell her own stories, and express her ideas.
