I was born into a traditional family with a strict businessman father and a gentle and virtuous housewife. I was the only child in my family, and I was strictly disciplined by my father from an early age. My father always wanted me to take over his business and be his successor.
When I grew up, I did work for my father's company, but I didn't like business. I preferred literature and art, but under pressure from my father, I had to give up my dreams and go along with his arrangement.
After getting married, I married a gentle and kind girl, her name is Lin Ya. Lin Ya and I get along very well, and she has a lot of respect for my parents. However, the problem arose with my mother.
My mother was a traditional woman who wanted her son's wife to be completely obedient to her arrangements and become a submissive daughter-in-law. Lin Ya, on the other hand, is a woman with her own ideas, she doesn't like to be tied down, and hopes to have her own life.
Thus, the conflict between my mother and Lin Ya began. At first, it was just small things, such as housework and the difference in the concept of marriage. But as time passed, the contradictions escalated into a struggle that lasted for two decades.
I tried to mediate between the two, but with little effect. I found myself in a dilemma of offending the other side no matter who I chose to support. I felt extremely tired and helpless, full of confusion and anxiety about the future.
In the end, I chose to side with my mother. After a heated quarrel, I resolutely decided to divorce Lin Ya. At the time, I thought I was the winner, I thought I was the one who had the control. However, it turned out that I was wrong.
After my divorce, I found myself living a lonely and empty life. I missed the warm embrace that Lin Ya brought me, the delicious food she cooked for me, and the joy and happiness she brought me.
And Lin Ya, she did not sink because of the divorce, on the contrary, she pursued her dream harder. She became a successful professional woman who handled work-life balance with ease, showing amazing talent and charisma.
Twenty years later, I came across Lin Ya's name in a magazine, and she became a highly regarded writer whose work swept the country. I was shocked to find out that I was missing out on such a good woman.
I began to reflect on my life, and I realized that I was not the so-called winner, on the contrary, I became the most ridiculous person. I dwelled on my wrong choice, but I missed out on a precious treasure.
I decided to go to Lin Ya and apologize to her, hoping to save our marriage. However, by the time I met her, she had become an independent and confident woman, and she refused my request, telling me that she had lived the life she wanted and no longer needed me.
I departed, knowing that I had lost her, the happiness that had once belonged to me. However, I don't regret it because I learned to cherish and respect everyone's choices, and I learned to be a better person.
Now, I can only wish Lin Ya and wish her happiness, because she is the real winner, and she is the one who is truly worthy of my admiration and admiration. And I, I will continue to work hard to pursue my own happiness and never make the same mistakes again.
