My surname is Wu and I am 51 years old. Born in the countryside, I chose to stay in the city with my college classmate's wife. Thanks to my parents' hard work over the years, I worked hard to buy a house and a car in order to make my parents live a happy life. Every time I go back to my hometown, my wife always prepares all kinds of things intimately and cares about her parents' food, clothing, housing and transportation.
I once wanted to bring my parents to live in the city, but my mother was reluctant to live in the countryside. When my mother fell ill, I took her to the city hospital for treatment. Due to my busy schedule, my wife took time off to take care of the whole process, for which I am grateful. Despite our efforts to save my mother's life, she passed away.
After my mother left, my father returned to his hometown to live alone for 6 years. I went back to see him almost whenever I had time. At the end of last year, my old father was not in good health, and I was worried that he would not be able to take care of himself alone, so I decided to take him to the city to live with us.
When he first arrived, the old father adapted quite quickly. However, a series of outrageous things happened later. The father always looked for something in the garbage can in the community, and his wife tried to dissuade him many times but it didn't work. My father even piled them up in his bedroom, causing a foul smell.
My wife started to feel tired and a rift developed between us. One day, a neighbor came to the door to complain, saying that he had been splashed with water. When I confronted the neighbors, I found that my father was full of complaints about his wife, complaining that she was not sensible, that she would not cook, and that she was not worthy of being my wife.
My wife's life became hard, and our relationship gradually deteriorated. After I realized that my old father was having trouble adapting to his new environment, I decided to send him back to my hometown. Although this decision makes me feel uneasy, I understand that forcibly bringing the elderly over to care for the elderly is a harm to everyone. In the interweaving of filial piety and family responsibilities, I made difficult decisions.
