Xiao Xiaolin on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were empty, and her once black and beautiful hair had become sparse and yellowish. At this time, her poor child sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes moist, as if he had just wept.
Xiao Xiaolin turned her head with great effort, and said in a hoarse voice: "Baby, come to Mom, let Mom take another good look at you." ”
The son quickly approached, clasping his mother's hands. Xiao Xiaolin tried her best to open her eyes and looked at her son with deep pain and endless guilt, and after a long time, she finally spoke slowly: "Children, mom is sorry for you."
In this life, I have never been able to find a balance between career and family, and I have always devoted most of my time and energy to work, ignoring your growth process.
The son was in tears and was about to open his mouth to comfort, but Xiao Xiaolin shook his head gently and continued: "Now at the last moment of my life, I deeply realized that this is the biggest regret of my life.
Xiao Xiaolin was born into a family of intellectuals, her father was a famous professor at Hunan University, and her mother was also an outstanding educator. According to her parents' expectations, Xiao Xiaolin should have inherited the family's fine tradition and become an excellent teacher in the future.
However, Xiao Xiaolin, who has been cheerful since she was a child, often plays the role of a "big sister" in school, organizing various colorful activities. After entering secondary school, she became obsessed with broadcasting, listening attentively to the radio station whenever she had the opportunity, listening carefully to every news message.
As a result, Xiao Xiaolin strengthened her belief in becoming an excellent announcer. Despite her outstanding academic performance, she still chose to apply for Beijing Broadcasting Institute without hesitation.
The decision caused strong opposition from her family, who believed that Xiao Xiaolin had the strength to enter top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
In the face of the cynicism of relatives and friends, Xiao Xiaolin just calmly filled in Beiguang as her volunteer. After coming to Beijing, she overcame various difficulties to correct her pronunciation problems, and actively participated in the dubbing of the cartoon "Astro Boy", which eventually won praise from her predecessors in the industry.
When Xiao Xiaolin finished her studies, she was more than capable of finding the ideal career opportunities in a big city like Beijing, but she chose to return to her hometown of Changsha, where she was raised, hoping to spend more time with her elderly parents.
In 1988, Xiao Xiaolin was honored to be admitted to CCTV and eventually founded the far-reaching "Today's Statement" program, making outstanding contributions to the cause of legal education in the mainland.
It is precisely because of her firm and persistent pursuit of her career that Xiao Xiaolin's media career shines. However, we can't help but wonder if her success in the workplace really equates to happiness in life, and let's delve into the contradictions and regrets she experienced in her life.
In the cozy study room in the United States, Xiao Xiaolin's son fell into deep thought. He gently opened the old photo album and flipped through the pages of his mother's photos, recalling those poignant pasts.
In these photos, the mother is either standing in front of the stage to preside over the show, or planning in an orderly manner behind the scenes, always with a posture of full dedication to work. From an early age, the son understood that his mother regarded her career as her life, but deep down he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, longing for his mother to spend more time with his family.
However, this only hope came to naught. His mother devoted most of her time and energy to her cause selflessly, and hardly ever accompanied him well.
It wasn't until the news of his mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer came that it dawned on the son that he had never really understood the tremendous pressure his mother was under. In order to save his mother's life, he did not hesitate to take her to his side, first tried traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and then sent her to the United States for further treatment.
Seeing the once heroic and fearless mother becoming more and more emaciated, and her hair becoming thinning and yellow, the son's heart is filled with endless pain, regretting that he did not receive enough maternal care when he was young.
Now, his only wish is for his mother to be fully cared for and loved in the last stages of her life, so as to fill the deep regrets of his childhood.
Originally, after retiring, Xiao Xiaolin was looking forward to reuniting with her family, enjoying life to the fullest, and making up for her regrets over the years. However, fate once again played a cruel joke on her.
Just five months after her retirement, Xiao Xiaolin was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer. This sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, and the whole family fell into extreme grief.
Xiao Xiaolin's husband clasped his wife's slender jade hand, and said in a trembling voice: "For a long time, you have always put your career first, and although I am your strong backing behind the scenes, I often feel lonely in my heart.
Before he finished his words, in the flash of tears, his husband had passed away, and he could no longer see the moment when his wife recovered.
The son waited by his mother's bedside, full of pain and helplessness. He still has many good times that he has not been able to share with his mother, and now he is facing a life-and-death farewell, and he only hopes to give his mother one last love and blessing.
In Xiao Xiaolin's memories, her childhood was spent in a scholarly family. Both father and mother are distinguished professors at Hunan University, and they have long hoped that their daughter will inherit the family's academic tradition and become an outstanding educator in the future.
In order to realize this wish, her parents formulated a strict study plan for Xiao Xiaolin and set a special reading time. As expected, in terms of academics, Xiao Xiaolin has always maintained the leading position in the class.
However, contrary to her parents' expectations, Xiao Xiaolin, who has a lively and cheerful personality, is more keen to participate in various extracurricular activities. As long as there are any interesting clubs or organizations in the school, she always enthusiastically signs up and plays the role of "big sister".
After entering junior high school, Xiao Xiaolin became obsessed with the broadcasting career. Whenever the loudspeaker of the radio station made a clear announcement, announcing the news, she would always listen intently, as if she was attracted by some mysterious power.
From then on, she aspired to be a good broadcaster.
In high school, Xiao Xiaolin's academic performance is still among the best. However, when filling in the college entrance examination application, she made a decision that surprised everyone - she resolutely chose Beijing Broadcasting Institute instead of well-known universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
In the face of the doubts of relatives and friends, although her parents were worried, they did not stop it, but repeatedly told her not to abandon her studies. They know that as long as it is their daughter's own decision, no matter how tortuous and bumpy the road ahead is, she will definitely go on firmly.
Looking back on Xiao Xiaolin's life, her love and dedication to her career far outweigh her cherishing of her family. For her, her career is like the treasure of life, which is worth her best to pursue.
It is precisely because of this extreme enthusiasm and dedication to her work that she was able to create and launch a well-known and influential column "Today's Statement", thus making outstanding contributions to promoting the development of China's legal education!
However, can the brilliance and achievements of her career really be equated with the blessing of life? In the days when Xiao Xiaolin was about to come to the end of her life, she finally realized clearly that she had put too much effort into her career, and even neglected her responsibilities to her family because of this.
In fact, when Xiao Xiaolin was still a student, she had already found her true love. The husband, who has always patiently comforted her and supported her professional pursuits, has always been behind her silently giving her strength.
Even when Xiao Xiaolin went to the United States for further study, her husband never complained, he just hoped that she could bravely pursue her dreams.
It is a pity that when Xiao Xiaolin's career reached its peak, the focus of her life still failed to return to her family. Her son has lacked his mother's company since he was a child, and rarely feels the warmth of maternal love.
It wasn't until his mother became seriously ill that the son began to deeply understand the hard work and dedication of his mother.
If there is one regret in Xiao Xiaolin's life, it is that she was so focused on her career that she missed the best opportunity to cherish her family. It wasn't until the last moments of her life that she suddenly realized, but she was powerless to recover.
