Aunt Wu sat on the balcony alone, looking deeply at the bustling city downstairs, her tired eyes revealing deep confusion and helplessness. For this woman in her prime, life has lost its original value and meaning.
Recalling those arduous years, Aunt Wu burst into tears. When she was young, her husband unfortunately passed away, and she worked hard to raise her son alone. Those years were full of endless pain and suffering, however, she never revealed the slightest sadness to her son, lest it would bring him psychological trauma.
She did her best to do all kinds of tedious work, cutting back on food and clothing, just to ensure that her son could live a stable and comfortable life.
Finally, my son was successfully admitted to the university of his dreams, showing outstanding talent and potential. Aunt Wu felt relieved, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope for the future. However, the good times are always short-lived, and soon after graduating from college, my son started a family and had a son.
The son's wife is a calm, rational and pragmatic woman with a reserved and quiet personality, which contrasts sharply with the enthusiastic Aunt Wu.
In order to take care of his elderly mother, the son had to take Aunt Wu to live in his home. Aunt Wu was looking forward to sharing a happy life, but the reality disappointed her.
Her son's family is busy with their own careers and rarely has time to spend with her. Although her daughter-in-law did not speak coldly to her, there is still an insurmountable gap in the relationship between the two. Aunt Wu can only silently take on the housework and take care of her young grandson.
And so it was, day after day, year after year. The son and daughter-in-law left in a hurry every morning and did not return home until late at night. Aunt Wu stayed alone in the empty house all day long, with nothing to do, and only her lonely footsteps echoed in the huge house.
The elderly people in the park gathered happily to play mahjong and talk and laugh, but Aunt Wu was difficult to fit in because of her introverted personality. Her life was dark and boring as if it were obscured by heavy dark clouds.
Insomnia and anxiety gradually eroded her, and she tossed and turned in the silent night, her tears soaking the pillow.
Since the death of her husband, Aunt Wu's life is destined to be bumpy. As she grew older, those years of hardship often came back to her mind.
At that time, Aunt Wu was in her youth, but her husband died of a work injury, which made her instantly shoulder the burden of the family's livelihood. As a housewife, although she did not have a high degree of education, she earned her needs with her tenacity and hard work.
Aunt Wu devoted herself to tedious housework day and night, worked hard, and never flinched. Whether it's removing bricks and stones at a construction site or washing dishes and chopsticks in a restaurant, no matter how hard the work is, she always grits her teeth and persists, just to earn a little more income to pay for her young son's tuition.
Despite the hardships of life, Aunt Wu never showed the slightest sadness in front of her son. Every time she sees her son, she always has a bright smile and does her best not to let him be affected in the slightest. She is frugal and budget-conscious, and only hopes that her son can live a comfortable life.
Time flies, and my son gradually grows into an adult. Under the careful cultivation of Aunt Wu, he was successfully admitted to an excellent university and showed a bright future prospect. Aunt Wu was so excited about this, as if she saw a glimmer of light in life.
However, happy times are always short-lived. Soon after graduating from college, his son entered the palace of marriage and had a son. The daughter-in-law is a calm and pragmatic woman with an introverted personality, which contrasts sharply with the enthusiastic and cheerful Aunt Wu.
In order to take care of his elderly mother, the son had to take Aunt Wu to live with him. Aunt Wu thought that she could enjoy the joy of family, but the reality hit her hard. Sons and daughters-in-law have to work outside the home and can't be with them all the time, while young grandchildren need round-the-clock care. So, Aunt Wu once again took on the responsibility of a housewife.
Although the days of taking care of her grandson are full of hard work, whenever she sees her grandson's innocent smile, Aunt Wu will feel extremely satisfied. However, as time went by, the son's family became more and more busy at work, and their concern for Aunt Wu became less and less. Once again, her life fell into confusion and confusion.
Although Aunt Wu has always taken care of her grandson wholeheartedly, the loneliness and emptiness in her heart that are difficult to get rid of are still like appendages, which always haunt her. She longs to find some kind of truth and joy in life, but nothing around her seems to attract her attention.
Just when Aunt Wu was confused and helpless, an enthusiastic elderly lady took the initiative to visit her and sincerely invited her to join the "Riot Group". It is a sports, recreational and social group, and members regularly gather for strolls in the nearby park to keep fit and connect with each other.
At first, Auntie Wu had reservations about the event. As an introverted person, she has never taken the initiative to meet new people, let alone participate in such group activities. However, under the sincere persuasion of the enthusiastic lady, she finally mustered up the courage and decided to take the step of trying.
Since the first time she participated in the "Runaway" activity, Aunt Wu has been deeply intoxicated. A group of people strolled in the park in an orderly manner, and Aunt Wu deeply felt the vitality and warmth exuded by this team, as if she finally caught a glimpse of a glimmer of hope in her gloomy life.
Everyone said a word, or shared interesting things in life, or discussed hot social issues, Aunt Wu stared at the happy expressions on the faces of her teammates, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
As time went on, she became more familiar with the rest of the team and became as close to each other as a family. Sometimes they talk as they go, expanding from everyday trivia to life philosophy, and sometimes they meet to take a break on a park bench or share a delicious homemade bento.
Aunt Wu's life has been rejuvenated, and her soul has also rekindled its long-lost vitality.
The body is the capital of the revolution, and Aunt Wu has always unswervingly participated in every "rampage" activity, and her health has been significantly improved. At the same time, she was gradually elected as a core member of the "Violent Walking Group".
She is admired by all and is seen as a solid support for the whole team. Aunt Wu felt unprecedented confidence and pride, and she was convinced that she had finally found her own piece of sky and the value of existence.
However, all good things are as fleeting as a flash in the pan! With the growing growth of the "Riot Group", Aunt Wu gradually realized that just strolling in the park was far from satisfying the desires and needs of the members. As a leader, she had to stand on a higher angle and lead the team to a broader stage.
Aunt Wu's idea was like an earth-shattering thunderbolt, which shocked the other team members present, and they all expressed doubts and worries.
Other team members also joined in the discussion and raised objections: "Indeed, if we elderly people walk on the road, won't it seriously affect the traffic? ”
Under Aunt Wu's patient persuasion and firm commitment, the other members of the team finally nodded in agreement and began to prepare for a new round of "rampage" activities. After all, none of you here can match Aunt Wu's rich experience and high prestige.
As a result, Aunt Wu became the leader of the "Violent Walking Group" for the first time on the road. At first, the procession marched in an orderly manner, and although it attracted the attention and dissatisfaction of some passers-by, most of them were able to take the initiative to avoid and give way.
Witnessing this scene, Aunt Wu's heart swelled with great pride and pride, and she deeply felt that she had become a "hero" of the city.
However, good times are always short-lived. As the campaign deepened, some passers-by who did not understand the "rampage" movement began to openly express their dissatisfaction. Some drivers honk their horns frantically because they couldn't stand the long wait, and some pedestrians even spoke out directly.
In the face of these accusations, although Aunt Wu was nervous in her heart, she still adhered to her principles and turned a deaf ear to the criticism of others.
Eventually, a fierce dispute inevitably erupted. A private car driver was unable to move forward because he was blocked by a "rioting group" and tried to force his way through in an emotional state.
Seeing this, Aunt Wu immediately stepped forward and justifiably defended her actions. The two sides instantly fell into a tense atmosphere of sabre-rattling, and the verbal conflict intensified, and the voices of abuse and reprimands were endless.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, a plainclothes police car sped in and several officers acted quickly to separate the two sides of the dispute. After a detailed investigation and evidence collection, the police finally determined that Aunt Wu's "rampage activities" were suspected of violating the law and ordered her to immediately stop interfering with traffic order.
Faced with this heavy ending, Aunt Wu's face turned as white as paper in vain, but she also had to forcibly suppress the flames of anger burning in her heart, and evacuated the bloody scene with every member of the "Rampaging Group" with a sad look.
