"My name is Li Dawei, I am 45 years old this year, and I am an ordinary office worker. In retrospect, the trajectory of my life was not smooth, but it was these ups and downs and struggles that made me realize the true meaning of life. "
I looked around at this little old house with mixed feelings. This was once the love nest of my wife Wang Xiaohong, and it also witnessed our love and conflict.
"How did we meet?" My eyes fell on a yellowed group photo, and I couldn't help but smile.
That was 20 years ago, the country had just come out of its predicament, and there was a breath of opportunity and hope everywhere. As a post-90s generation, we are full of beautiful visions for the future.
I picked up an old photo album containing bits and pieces from our youth. At that time, we pursued not only a career, but also a complete family.
"Ah, look at this, it's the bouquet you threw when we got married. "I stumbled upon a photo of Wang Xiaohong's shy smile. For a moment, my eyes were a little moist.
"Hi, hello, my name is Wang Xiaohong. She stepped forward and held out her friendly palm.
"Hello, I'm Li Dawei. I took her hand back a little awkwardly, and an indescribable urge surged in my heart.
From that encounter, we started frequent dates. She is an independent and assertive woman, and I enjoy every conversation I have with her. And she also seems to have a crush on me, and often takes the initiative to send me messages to ask me to go shopping.
"Wang Xiaohong, can I ask you a very straightforward question?" On a date, I finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"What's the problem?" She smiled.
"Can we take the relationship further?" My heart was pounding, for fear she would refuse.
"Well, that's what I thought, too. She blinked and gave me an affirmative answer.
In this way, we naturally established a romantic relationship.
After about two years of love, we decided to get married. On the day of the wedding, Wang Xiaohong was wearing white yarn, beautiful and moving. I silently swore in my heart that I would love her well and give her a happy life.
"Honey, have you ever thought about whether you want to have children in the future?" One night not long after, while we were lying in bed chatting, Wang Xiaohong suddenly asked me.
"Of course, we should plan as early as possible, and when the child is born, we can become a whole family. I put my arm around her shoulders and said expectantly.
So, we started to prepare for the addition of baby products and renovated one room as a baby room. Everything is like a dream, and we are welcoming a new stage of life.
"Dawei, have you completed this month's sales task?" At the monthly meeting, my boss would stare at me seriously and ask.
"It's done, and it's 20% overdone!" I always answer with a smug face.
My colleagues looked at me with envy or jealousy, and I felt as if I had become the star employee of the company. And I did put a lot of effort into it, often working late into the night and working on documents on weekends.
"Honey, have you been working too hard lately?" Late at night, Wang Xiaohong asked me helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, for the sake of our future, this is what we deserve. I smiled and comforted her, but I secretly made up my mind that I must get ahead in my career.
But at this moment, a sudden change hit our little family hard.
"Isn't that a good thing? Haven't we always wanted children?" I looked at her in amazement.
"Xiaohong, you have a good rest first, I will think twice. I forced my composure, but my heart was already at war between heaven and man.
And just like that, the contradictions between us began. She insisted on getting rid of the baby, and I wanted the best of both worlds. But the reality is often cruel, and we have to make a choice.
"But why don't you think about our future family?"
The quarrel between us became more and more intense, and there was even a scene of hands-on. In the end, under the persuasion of her family, Wang Xiaohong chose to save her life. I, on the other hand, have regret and self-blame in my heart.
Just when our contradictions have not been completely bridged, an even more brutal blow has struck.
I stumbled into the hospital room, where Wang Xiaohong was lying on the bed, so pale and weak that I could barely recognize her. My tears flowed uncontrollably, and my heart was filled with endless self-blame and pain.
In this way, we spent one torturous day and night after another in the hospital. I was wandering like a trapped beast, unable to concentrate on my work anymore, and I just hoped that she would recover soon.
However, the reality is far more cruel than we think.
The doctor's merciless sentence was like a blunt knife and stabbed me in the heart. My eyes were dark, and I sat on the ground with all my body weak, almost suffocating in pain.
However, fate does not change the course of our struggles. That night, Wang Xiaohong left our world, and the contradictions between us did not have time to be completely resolved.
I packed my bags and left the once cozy nest. My heart is hollowed out, and I can no longer find the laughter of the past. The relationship between us came to an abrupt end.
Just when I was in pain and despair, an angelic being saved me.
Now, I'm not fighting alone, I have to live for this family, for this child.
Since then, I have been on my own and have started a long road of raising myself. We moved into a modest rental house and lived a modest but happy life.
"Dad, if I grow up to be a doctor, I will be able to help more people!" My daughter often said to me that her innocent eyes sparkled with ideals.
I put all my energy into my work and raising children, and she is all that keeps me going. As the days passed, she grew up.
Just when my daughter was taking the college entrance examination and we were about to start a new life, something happened that shocked me.
A white-haired but still familiar figure appeared in front of me, and I froze in place, instantly having the illusion of time and space travel.
The arrival of the old doctor awakened the most painful memories in my heart like a shower. I feel as if I have traveled back to that night, and the scene of Wang Xiaohong's death is vividly in my mind.
Lines of handwriting, like sharp daggers, pierced my heart mercilessly. Tears welled up in my eyes and ran down my face.
Yes, how stubborn and willful I was back then, I even disregarded the lives of a son for the sake of their selfish desires. If I had been more sympathetic to her situation at the time, perhaps she would not have suffered this misfortune.
I clung to her diary and wept bitterly. Time flies, and those past events flash in my mind like a marquee. My heart was torn apart by endless remorse and self-blame, and I wished I could cut off my former self.
"Daddy, are you crying? What's going on?" Just then, my daughter pushed the door open, and her voice pulled me back to reality.
"Dad, you don't have to blame yourself, Mom has been gone for so long, she won't want you to be so sad. My daughter stroked my back and said like an old adult.
Her words were like a spring of fresh water, moistening my parched heart. Yes, I've regretted the past long enough that I should be relieved now and cherish the present.
Just then, the old doctor walked in, his eyes filled with tears.
From that moment on, I began to say goodbye to the pain that I often suffered. Our family of three regained the preciousness of our relationship.
I am incredibly proud of my daughter who got her wish and was admitted to the best local medical school. Looking at her wearing a snow-white doctor's robe, I seemed to see Wang Xiaohong's persistent and strong figure back then.
"Dad, I will definitely become a great doctor and help more people!" She said to me gleefully.
Yes, she is the hope and future of our family. I smiled and nodded, my heart enveloped in happiness and warmth like never before.
And just like that, we moved into a brand new apartment and started a new life. Every morning, I would stand on the balcony and watch the rising sun shine brightly, feeling the temperature of life.
Sometimes, my daughter would take me by the hand and take me for a walk in the park. Along the way, we will see a couple of loving couples, they kiss or frolic, just like me and Wang Xiaohong back then.
"Dad, when I work in the future, you don't have to worry about it anymore, we can travel often!" My daughter would say to me so innocently.
I just smiled and didn't puncture her illusions. I knew she was saying that so she didn't make me feel alone. But actually, I'm completely at peace now.
It was at this moment that I seemed to grasp the true meaning of life.
Life is destined to have countless tribulations and regrets, but we cannot be bound by them forever. We must face the reality bravely and embrace the future with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Only in this way can we regain strength from suffering and find the light of hope in desperate situations. Just like Wang Xiaohong said to me before she died: "Live and live well, for our daughter." "
Yes, she will always be the pride of our family and the biggest driving force for us to move forward.
So, let's go down bravely together and embrace every moment of life with love. Don't regret the past, don't ask for the future, just quietly experience the beauty of the present.
Let us heal the wounds of our lives with a forgiving heart; Let us use a positive attitude to light the light of life.
Dear friends, there is still a long way to go, let us support and move forward together and share the bits and pieces of life together.
"Dad, what are you thinking?" My daughter's voice pulled me back to reality.
I looked around, the sun was shining warmly, and a couple of talking and laughing couples walked by. I realized that life is not just a personal experience, it is more like a never-ending relay race.
"It's nothing, Dad is just thinking about what the meaning of life is. I looked at my daughter's innocent eyes, and Wang Xiaohong's face appeared in my mind.
Even though she has long since passed away, her love for me still warms my heart and pushes me on. And now, this torch of love will also be turned into my love for my daughter.
"The meaning of life is to cherish the present moment and nourish everything around us with love. I said in a firm and powerful tone.
My daughter nodded understandingly, and I knew she didn't quite understand the weight of the sentence just yet. But it doesn't matter, one day, she will also understand the true meaning of life.
In addition to meaning, life also has its value and meaning. I have slowly realized this in the long road of parenting.
In the dead of night, I would always be awakened by my daughter's cry. She's thirsty or has a stomachache and needs to be taken care of by my side.
Sometimes, I'm so tired that I can't help but complain. But as soon as I see her innocent smiling face, my heart will be wrapped in warmth in an instant.
Yes, she is the greatest treasure in my life, the most precious gift that God has given me. For her, I willingly gave everything, even if I sacrificed my all.
"Dad loves you the most, you are my whole world. Every time I say this, my heart is filled with a sense of happiness that I have never felt before.
And the reason why life is so precious is precisely because it is short and fragile. Wang Xiaohong's sudden death was a blow to the head, which woke me up to my recognition of the preciousness of life.
For a while, I would have nightmares about her in pain in her hospital bed. I would wake up in a cold sweat, afraid that one day I would lose my daughter.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you have nightmares?" My daughter is often woken up by me, and she asks me with concern.
Yes, life is so fragile and short, we should cherish the people in front of us. As the old doctor often said: "Live in the moment and show the best side to the people around you." "
There is still a long way to go, and we can never predict what lies ahead. But as long as we have a reverence for life, we will definitely be able to walk more calmly and calmly.
In this way, with my daughter by my side, I slowly understood the meaning, value and preciousness of life. I finally understood that the reason why I suffered those hardships and blows was to make us better appreciate the meaning of life.
Life is like a cup of tea, and the fragrance of meditation is the greatest aftertaste. We must learn to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and embrace all the beauty with an inclusive mind.
"Dad, look, how sweet that couple is!" From time to time, the daughter would point to a couple of lovers in the park with envy.
I just smiled and knew it. Yes, love is the most beautiful form of life, it makes us know how to tolerate and cherish.
Let's embrace everything in this world with an inclusive heart, whether it is joy, anger or sorrow, they are the embellishment of life, and we appreciate the gift of life.
It was only after my daughter attended her medical school graduation ceremony that I finally understood the true meaning of life.
On that day, I returned to Wang Xiaohong's grave after a long absence. I fell to my knees and caressed her picture, tears welling up in my eyes again.
I muttered to myself, my body trembling slightly. But this time, my heart was surprisingly calm, as if all my burdens and obsessions had been lifted.
Just then, my daughter walked up to me and hugged me. She didn't speak, just quietly by my side.
We hugged each other like this, feeling each other's body temperature and feeling the blessings of nature. A breeze blew and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, as if to offer us the most sincere blessings.
The true meaning of life is to cherish the present moment and embrace everything around us with a tolerant heart. Don't regret the past, don't ask for the future, just quietly feel the beauty of life in the present.
With a broad mind, to heal the wounds in life; With a positive attitude, light up the light of life. With a sense of reverence for life, we will be able to walk more calmly and calmly.
Yes, the road of life will eventually come to an end, but as long as we live in the present moment and nourish everything around us with love, we have won the full meaning of life.
Let's go on bravely together, support each other in the journey of life, and share the bits and pieces of life together.
Dear friends, the meaning of life is not mysterious, it exists in our ordinary daily life.
