My name is Lin Qing, I am 27 years old this year, and I have my father Lin Hai, my mother Li Hong and my younger brother Lin Jie. The story of our family may be the same as many ordinary families, there are laughter and tears, but I always feel that there are more tears than laughter in my story.
That day, I came home from work as usual, and the smell of food wafted through the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mother busy, her skillful hands, talking to my brother while stir-frying.
"Jay, how is your job, is your boss treating you well?" asked Mom with concern.
My younger brother Lin Jie replied with a smile: "It's good, the boss often praises me." ”
I leaned against the doorframe and didn't speak. Mom didn't seem to notice me either.
"Hey, look at your sister, she is not as motivated as you. Mom sighed.
My heart was tight, but I was Xi to it. In my family, I have always been the daughter who is not outstanding enough, and Lin Jie is the pride of the family.
At dinner, Dad Lin Hai came back. As soon as he entered the door, he complained to me: "Lin Qing, when will your job be better? Look at your brother, how promising he is." ”
I ate with my head down, not wanting to respond. I knew that such a conversation would only make dinner more difficult to swallow.
At the dinner table, the conversation of the family always revolves around Lin Jie, his achievements, and his future. I felt like a stranger at home, and it was as if I existed only to bring out my brother's brilliance.
I thought I would be able to Xi this life until that happened.
One day, I came home from work and found a couple of strangers sitting in the living room. When my mother saw me, she quickly introduced, "This is your brother's colleague, and they have come to the house for a gathering." ”
I smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. But I knew in my heart that such gatherings were never superfluous.
That night, I listened to the conversation between my parents and my younger brother in my room.
"Jie, look at your sister, she is still single, what will she do in the future?" her mother's voice was full of anxiety.
"Don't worry, Mom, sister, she will take care of it herself. "My brother's voice was gentle, but it made me feel even more alone.
I lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. Home, the word is becoming more and more alien to me.
The next day, I decided to make a change. I don't want to be ignored anymore, I don't want to be a shadow of my family anymore. I need to find my place, even if it means tearing myself apart from this home.
At this moment, I received a message from my college classmate Xiaoling: "Qingqing, long time no see, there is a class reunion this weekend, can you come?"
I hesitated, then replied, "Okay, I'll go." "Perhaps, this is the beginning of my search for change.
On the day of the class reunion, I wore a simple but stylish dress with a hint of powder. Standing in front of the mirror for a while, I took a deep breath and went out the door.
The meeting place is a unique café. Walking in, I immediately saw Xiaoling, she was still lively and cheerful, and recognized me at a glance.
"Qingqing, long time no see, you're still so beautiful!" Xiaoling stepped forward to hug me.
We sat around and talked and laughed. The students shared their lives and work, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I also relaxed and talked about my daily life, but I didn't mention the situation at home.
At this moment, a male classmate I had almost no impression of, Li Qiang, walked over. He looks sven, wears a pair of glasses, and has a warm smile.
"Lin Qing, remember me? I'm Li Qiang, we didn't know each other well in college. He said with a smile.
"Ah, Li Qiang, of course I remember. I replied with some embarrassment.
We chatted, Li Qiang is now a lawyer, and his conversation exudes maturity and stability. We quickly shifted our conversation from university life to our respective attitudes towards work and life.
"Life is about constantly seeking change, not being trapped by the status quo. Li Qiang's words shook my heart, and he seemed to light up my innermost thoughts.
In the evening, I came home and lay in bed, Li Qiang's words echoing in my mind. I began to reflect on my life, was I really content to be ignored, was I really content with the status quo?
The next day, I plucked up the courage to express my feelings to my parents.
"Mom, Dad, I want to talk to you. I said.
They were a little surprised, but they stopped what they were doing and looked at me.
"I feel like I'm always being ignored in this home. I also have my dreams and pursuits, and I don't want to be just a supporting role. "I try to keep my voice as calm as possible.
Mom looked a little displeased: "What are you talking about, why are we ignoring you?"
"No, Mom, you've always focused on Jay and ignored me. "I tried to explain.
Dad was silent for a while, and then said, "Maybe we are indeed a little biased, but you also have to understand that as parents, we always want our children to be well." ”
"I understand, but I also need your support and understanding. I insisted.
That conversation didn't change anything right away, but I felt like I had at least made my voice heard.
As time went on, I began to pursue my life more aggressively. I signed up for some training courses in the hope of improving my professional skills. I also started experimenting with writing to record my feelings and thoughts.
At this moment, I received a message from Li Qiang: "Qingqing, I've been wanting to talk to you again since the last meeting, but I don't know you have."
Don't have time? We can find a place to talk. ”
I hesitated, but finally agreed. We made an appointment at a quiet café.
When they met, Li Qiang smiled gently: "Lin Qing, how are you doing?"
We started chatting, and I talked about how I've changed recently, including that conversation with my parents, and how I've started trying to write.
"Writing? That's great, you can express your stories and feelings. Li Qiang encouraged.
"Yes, it's a bit tough, but I feel a sense of accomplishment. I replied.
We had a great conversation and I found Li Qiang to be a very insightful and compassionate person. We talk a lot, including work, life, and even dreams and ideals. I felt more relaxed and at ease than I had ever been.
When leaving the café, Li Qiang said, "Lin Qing, if you need help or just want someone to listen, you can always come to me." ”
I smiled and agreed. At that moment, I felt a warmth that I hadn't felt in a long time.
On the way home, I thought about my life. I realized that even though my family environment was not the most ideal, I could make a difference in my life through my own efforts.
A few weeks later, I published my first short article in a magazine. It's not long, but it means a lot to me. I excitedly told Li Qiang the news.
"Congratulations, Lin Qing! This is a good start. Li Qiang's reply was full of encouragement.
I also told my family the news. After hearing this, my mother showed a rare smile: "You also have your talent." ”
Dad also nodded and praised: "Yes, keep up the good work." ”
I saw a slight difference in their eyes. It's not a sea change, but at least it's a start.
As time progressed, my relationship with Li Qiang gradually deepened. He was not only my listener, but also my encourager. With his encouragement, I began to pursue my dreams more courageously.
That fall, I decided to attend a writing workshop. This is a one-month course that requires me to leave home temporarily and go to another city to Xi.
I was a little nervous when I told my family about this decision. But to my surprise, my mother was the first to speak: "Go ahead, you should have your own life too." ”
Dad also nodded: "Yes, you have grown up and should be independent." ”
I felt a sense of relief. This support means a lot to me.
In the writing workshop, I met people from different backgrounds, and their stories and experiences inspired me a lot. I started to express myself more confidently, and my writing became more profound and powerful as a result.
A month later, I returned home with a full harvest. I compiled what I learned in the workshop and my thoughts into a long article and submitted it to I
well-known literary magazines. I have high hopes for this manuscript, which not only records my growth, but also carries my expectations for the future.
A few weeks later, the unexpected good news came: my article was not only accepted, but also selected as a special recommendation for the magazine of the month. I couldn't believe it was a major milestone in my writing career.
I excitedly told Li Qiang and his family the good news. Li Qiang said to me: "Lin Qing, look, you can do it." Your story deserves to be heard. ”
The atmosphere at home has changed as a result. Mom and Dad seemed to be more respectful of my choices and efforts, and my younger brother Lin Jie also expressed his sincere congratulations to me.
During that time, it was like I had a new lease of life. I started to be more actively involved in various writing activities, and my articles got more attention on various platforms. I also started giving interviews to share my writing experience and my thoughts on life.
At one of these events, I met a veteran writer who spoke highly of my work and invited me to participate in a higher-level writing project. This program not only allowed me to communicate with well-known writers at home and abroad, but also provided more opportunities for practice and publication.
I knew it was a great opportunity and I didn't hesitate to accept it.
I worked on the project for a few months, during which I Xi learned a lot of advanced writing skills and broadened my horizons. Communicating with writers from all over the world made me feel the vastness and far-reaching influence of writing.
By the end of the project, I had completed several influential essays, which were included in an international anthology. I feel that I have not only made a qualitative leap forward in writing, but also greatly enriched my outlook on life and values.
When I got home, I noticed that my family's attitude towards me had changed significantly. Mom would often ask me about writing, and Dad would talk about my writings over dinner. My younger brother Lin Jie even bluntly expressed his admiration for me: "Sister, you are really amazing, I didn't find that you have so much talent before." ”
I am very pleased with this change. I realized that through perseverance and hard work, I not only changed myself, but also influenced the people around me.
With Li Qiang's encouragement, I decided to start writing a novel. The novel is based on my personal upbringing, while incorporating my observations of society and human nature. The writing process is challenging, but also incredibly fulfilling.
Li Qiang has become an important support for me in my writing. He always gave me valuable advice and encouraged me not to give up in the face of difficulties.
In the process of writing the novel, my relationship with Li Qiang also gradually developed. We weren't just friends, we became important people in each other's lives. Our topics are no longer limited to writing, but include a variety of perspectives and plans for life.
Finally, after months of hard work, my novel was finished. I named it the
Transition", a title that not only represents the theme of the novel, but also reflects my personal experience.
"Change" tells the story of how an ordinary girl can achieve self-growth and family reconciliation through self-effort and perseverance in the face of family prejudice and social challenges. I combined my own experiences with fictional elements to create a deeply powerful story.
After finishing the novel, I sent the manuscript to several publishers. I was nervous and excited at the same time as I waited for a response. I know that this book is not only a testimony of my personal growth, but it may also affect everyone who reads it.
After some time, I received a reply from a publishing house who expressed great interest in my novel and offered to publish it. I couldn't believe that my first novel was recognized like that.
In preparation for the publication of the novel, I worked closely with the editors of the publishing house to make some adjustments and improvements to the text. I also shared the background and original intention of my writing, and the publisher decided to include this part in the preface of the book to give readers a better understanding of the story behind the novel.
Finally, the novel "Change" was officially published. I held my work in my hand, and my heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction and joy. I know it's a new beginning in my life.
As soon as the novel was released, it was well received by readers and book critics. Many people are moved by the real emotions in the story, and some people find inspiration for self-growth.
The atmosphere at home has also become more welcoming because of my novels. My mom would often take my books and praise my neighbors, and my dad would talk about my accomplishments at work. My younger brother Lin Jie has become my "number one fan", he not only carefully reads my books, but also promotes me online.
At the celebration of the publication of my novel, Li Qiang publicly expressed his support and pride for me. On that day, in the presence of friends and family, we announced our romance. My heart is full of gratitude and happiness, and I know that Li Qiang has always been my strong backing.
The success of the novel not only gave me a sense of professional fulfillment, but also gave me a full sense of happiness in my family and love. I began to understand that everyone's life is a unique novel, and we are all authors of our own stories. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, as long as we have the courage to face them and the determination to change, we can write a wonderful chapter of our lives.
Li Qiang and I planned the future together. Not only will we continue our respective careers, but we also intend to run a writing workshop together to help those like me who have dreams but lack support and guidance. We hope to be able to pass on their courage and inspiration, so that more voices can be heard by the world.
Life goes on, and every day is a new beginning. I know that no matter what challenges lie ahead, I will face them bravely. Because I'm not the one in the family anymore
