The Price of Cold Violence: An Eighty-Year-Old Female Teacher's Profound Reflections on Marriage
Loading...
In one of the images circulating, a retired female teacher in her 80s became the focus of heated discussions. She married late in her 30s to a low-paid, introverted male teacher who was heavily influenced by her mother. Although she has been diligent in the education industry all her life, married life is full of cold and violent shadows. The grandmother suffered from her husband's neglect, and sometimes even for a year, she was speechless. It wasn't until her husband died that she felt a sense of relief. She admitted frankly that marriage was supposed to be for the sake of future old age, but in fact, this marriage made her suffer a lot, and she was still lonely in her old age.
The story reflects the clash of traditional ideas with the values of modern society. The grandmother's experience reveals the helplessness and sacrifice of many older generations in marriage. Her career as a teacher could have supported her to live independently, but social and family expectations pushed her into an unhappy marriage. The teacher's story sparked public attention to cold violence and sparked a discussion about marital autonomy and personal happiness.
Cold violence is not just an issue within the family, it can also affect the mental health of the next generation and even the entire family. In the case of this old grandmother, we see how cold violence can gradually eat away at one's happiness and self-esteem. Her experience prompts people to wonder: is marriage really a necessity of life, how can we prevent ourselves from falling into the same predicament, and how can society better support those who are victims of domestic violence?
When discussing the experience of the grandmother, we can't help but ask: why did society and family fail to provide her with sufficient support and a way out, and was such a marriage worth maintaining?
