Le Jia and Tao Hong's first encounter originated from a chance encounter. It was a sunny spring afternoon, and Le Jia drove back to the city alone, and as he passed a small park, he saw a girl in bright clothes.
It was Tao Hong, who was smiling and playing with a few children in the park. Lejia was deeply attracted by her sweet smile, and the two became acquainted. Later, after being introduced by a friend, they had more contact, and Le Jia found that Tao Hong was not only sweet-looking, but also easy-going and cute.
Tao Hong was deeply moved by Le Jia's gentleness and elegance.
The two quickly established a relationship and entered the palace of marriage a year later. The life after marriage is warm and sweet, Tao Hong gave birth to her daughter Ling'er a year later, and a cute little princess was instantly added to this family.
The family of three lived happily, and their friends praised them as a model couple. However, the good times did not last long, and in the third year of marriage, there was a crack in the marriage between the two.
What started out as minor disputes and frictions, but over time, these contradictions escalated, eventually leading to irreconcilable differences. Unthinkable, the two had to choose to divorce, a decision that surprised everyone.
But for other people's criticism, the two did not meet too much, but calmly said that the separation was caused by some problems and did not involve any negative news. Although their marriage has broken down, their friendship as close friends has always been strong, which has become an important foundation for them to stand together through thick and thin.
After the divorce, Le Jia and Tao Hong maintained a close friend relationship. Although they are no longer husband and wife, as Ling'er's parents, they often keep in touch and share a common eye on their daughter's growth.
Whenever Ling'er is sick or encounters difficulties, Lejia will inform Tao Hong as soon as possible, and Tao Hong will immediately greet Ling'er's current situation. They share their parenting experiences with each other, just as friends and parents, and don't talk about past marriages.
In the face of various rumors from the outside world, the two ignored them, rarely publicly mentioned the reason for the breakup, and only said in a relaxed and humorous tone that the reason for the divorce was due to some problems, and there was nothing related to negative news.
This allows the public to stop speculating about their privacy, and Le Jia and Tao Hong can focus more on their daughter's education. Although they can't start over in life, as parents, they choose to cherish the present and face life with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Whenever they see their daughter grow up happily, they feel very relieved and satisfied.
In 2014, Tao Hong unfortunately suffered from a sudden illness. During a routine physical exam, doctors found a huge shadow in her body. Further examination results were shocking, and Tao Hong was diagnosed with a malignant tumor, which has progressed to the middle stage.
For Tao Hong, who is only in her early 30s, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. But she didn't get discouraged for too long, and immediately began aggressive treatment – regularly visiting the hospital for chemotherapy every week.
It was a painful process, as chemotherapy thinned her hair, she lost weight, and she was often too weak to get out of bed. However, her willpower never wavered.
Tao Hong has always insisted on being optimistic and brave, and goes to the hospital every week for treatment. Surprisingly, during this period, she also took on several TV series. Even if her hair is not fully grown, she will put on a wig and put on makeup before going for a photoshoot.
She found motivation in her work, which also helped her forget about her physical pain for a while.
Two years later, Tao Hong's condition deteriorated and she had to travel to the United States for more advanced treatment. At the beginning of 2016, she took her 9-year-old daughter Ling'er and flew across the ocean. At the airport, she and Lejia hugged tightly before getting on the plane.
Standing at the airport and watching his wife leave, Le Jia's heart was full of love and nostalgia. He understood that it would be difficult for Tao Hong to meet again, but he still fully supported her decision to treat her illness.
In the face of life and death, human willpower is often very fragile, but love can give us courage and tenacity.
While undergoing treatment in the United States, Tao Hong's condition is still getting worse. She gradually realized that her time was running out, but what worried her more was her young daughter Ling'er.
On a sunny weekend morning, Tao Hong dialed Ling'er's video call. Her daughter Ling'er, with long hair and a bright princess dress, was sitting in front of the window shaking her feet, happily appearing on the screen. Daughter Ling'er also urged her mother to go home quickly.
Tao Hong held back her tears and told her daughter: "Mom is going to a far away place, and she may not come back for a long time." Ling'er has to listen to her father's words well, and she will find a good family to marry in the future. ”
Although Ling'er is young, she is very smart. After hanging up the phone, she felt that something was wrong, so she hugged Lejia and cried bitterly. Le Jia's heart was as painful as a knife, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only gently pat her daughter's back and make her cry happily.
He understood that Tao Hong's illness had reached the most critical moment, and he could only pray for a miracle, but God made people, and they still had to face this cruel reality after all.
Upon learning the news of the death of his wife Tao Hong, Le Jia felt extremely sad. He never expected that the person he loved deeply, who was also the mother of his daughter, would pass away like this. Despite the grief in his heart, he had to brace himself because he had a young daughter to take care of.
In order not to let Ling'er suffer such grief prematurely, Lejia did not tell her the truth about her mother's death for the time being. He invited an aunt to come to the house every day to help take care of Ling'er, and he worked as hard as he could, trying not to show sadness in front of his daughter.
In my daily life, I would hold my daughter's hand and tell her that her mother had gone to a far away place and would often come home to visit them if she missed us.
After a year, Le Jia slowly told Ling'er the truth. The clever Ling'er had already guessed, but just wept silently. Lejia hugged her daughter, they cried bitterly, and gradually resolved the pain in their hearts.
In order to fulfill Tao Hong's unfulfilled wish, Le Jia took Ling'er on a pilgrimage to Tibet. During the journey, Ling'er knelt and prayed everywhere, hoping that her mother's spirit in heaven would rest in peace.
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, and Ling'er has grown to a teenager in a blink of an eye. In order to provide her daughter with better educational resources, Lejia decided to move her family to the United States to spend quality time with her daughter.
Le Jia took Ling'er to the city where Tao Hong was treated before his death, and every grass and tree here reminded him of Tao Hong's last days.
Ling'er entered a well-known local middle school and made a group of lively and cheerful friends. She has made amazing progress in her English and other classes. Watching her daughter grow up happily in this new environment, Lejia feels very gratified.
He would take Ling'er to the restaurants, parks, and museums that Tao Hong frequented, and whisper to her about her mother's story. Ling'er listened quietly, tears in her eyes from time to time.
Le Jia and Ling'er have become each other's only support in this strange country, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will encourage each other and find a way to solve them together.
As the days passed, they began to get used to the rhythm of life here. Lejia will take Ling'er to travel to various cities when he has free time. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but imagine how happy Tao Hong would be if he was still there.
Although Tao Hong has passed away, Ling'er is growing up healthy and happy, so that her soul in heaven can feel comforted. Although Lejia's life is long, with her daughter by her side, her life is still full of sunshine.
He firmly believes that as long as he lives a full and happy life, Tao Hong will also feel his joy in heaven. It is this power that keeps her love in their hearts forever.
Le Jia often thinks of everything about Tao Hong in his new life in the United States, from the shyness of the first acquaintance, to the sweet days after marriage, and Tao Hong's strength in insisting on working after illness, all the memories are deeply cherished by Le Jia in the depths of his heart.
Looking at the photo of Tao Hong on the wall, Le Jia's heart was full of complicated emotions.
Over the years, Le Jia has often asked himself: Am I really living well? Is the current life what Tao Hong wants to see? Watching Ling'er grow up day by day, he knows that he must live more fully, so that Tao Hong's spirit in the sky can feel at ease.
Sometimes in the dead of night, Le Jia would speak softly to Tao Hong, telling her daughter's recent situation and her own thoughts. Although there was no response, he was confident that Tao Hong could hear.
Le Jia often takes Ling'er to recall Tao Hong's photos, movies, and messages before her death, so that her daughter can get to know her mother more deeply. He told Ling'er what a kind and brave person my mother was, and her spirit would always inspire us.
Ling'er nodded tearfully and hugged Le Jia tightly. The past cannot be repeated, but they must work hard to make their lives better so that they can live up to Tao Hong's expectations.
Life is often unsatisfactory, and Le Jia and Ling'er have also experienced pain, but they choose to live with a positive and optimistic attitude. No matter how rough the road ahead is, with each other by their side, they will eventually overcome the gloom and move towards the light.
This is also what Tao Hong has always wanted to see, as long as she can live herself and live every day, her love will always remain in people's hearts.
Lejia has always been able to face all kinds of setbacks in life, and in the face of the injustice of fate, he has chosen a positive and optimistic attitude. Even in the face of the cruel fact of Tao Hong's departure, he decided to cherish Tao Hong's love forever in his heart.
Ling'er also thrives in her new environment. Life continues to move forward, may they have a bright future, and Tao Hong's love and sunshine will always accompany them. In the journey of life, courage is the best interpretation of happiness.
The future will definitely get better and better.
