My name is Li Ming, I am 27 years old this year, and I am an ordinary office worker. After graduating from college, I worked hard to earn money in order to support my beloved girlfriend Xiaoyun to go to school. Those days were very hard, but as long as I thought of Xiao Yun, I was full of energy. She is the biggest motivation and pillar in my life.
Xiao Yun is a beautiful and kind girl, we are college classmates, we have known and fallen in love for six years. Her family was poor, and although she did well in the college entrance examination, she could not afford to pay the expensive tuition. I resolutely dropped out of school to work and used my hard-earned money to support her education.
I remember one time, Xiao Yun was sick and hospitalized, and I rushed to the hospital overnight. When I saw her pale face, I burst into tears and was heartbroken. I said to her, "Yunyun, you can rest assured, with me, you don't have to worry about anything." Xiao Yun nodded weakly, her eyes full of gratitude.
At that moment, I made up my mind to let Xiao Yun live a good life no matter what, even if it was a big price. Because she is the person I love most in my life, and she is the treasure I have to protect with all my might.
Since then, I have worked hard to earn money, working late every month. Xiao Yun often waited until late for me to come home from work, and when I saw her sitting alone at the door, I felt extremely guilty. She always smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand you, and I'll always wait for you." "
I saved a sum of money, and finally let Xiao Yun get her wish and get admitted to the ideal university. Watching her happily get her admission letter, I was sincerely happy for her. At this moment, all the hardships seem so meaningful and worthwhile.
The four years of college have passed quickly, Xiao Yun has succeeded in her studies, and we can finally prepare to enter the palace of marriage. One day, I took Xiao Yun to the campus where we first met, knelt down on one knee, took out the diamond ring from my pocket, and solemnly proposed to her: "Yun Yun, are you willing to marry me? Let me love and cherish you for the rest of my life." "
Xiao Yun burst into tears with excitement, she took the diamond ring with a trembling hand, looked at me deeply, and murmured: "Mingming, I am willing, of course I am willing! You have been guarding me all these years, and it is you who have given me the opportunity to realize my dreams." I love you forever. "
I hugged her tightly, and my heart was extremely happy. From that moment on, I started preparing for my wedding. I work during the day and work overtime at night to earn extra money, and save money by cutting back on food and clothing. Xiao Yun also sewed wedding dresses at home and carefully prepared the dowry.
In the early morning of our big day, Xiao Yun disappeared inexplicably. I searched around in a frenzy and finally found her in a hotel where she was married to a strange man. My whole world fell apart in that moment, and I felt hurt and angry like never before.
I rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Yun by the collar, and asked her why she broke my heart like this. Xiao Yun cried and explained that her parents had been threatened by some evil people, and that only by marrying that man could the whole family be safe. How could I believe such nonsense, slammed the prepared gift at her feet, turned and fled from that sad place.
Since then, I have started a life of wandering, my heart is barren, and I have lost all hope and faith in this world. I wandered the streets and lived a decadent life of drinking and gambling. Gradually, I began to reflect on my own life and realize the impermanence and fragility of love.
Maybe life is so cruel, when you give everything, all you can wait for is betrayal and despair. But I finally realized that I couldn't just give up, I wanted to rekindle the flame of life and live for myself. So I started a new journey in life, lonely but full of sunshine.
One day, a long, long time later, I happened to meet Xiao Yun on the street. Her face has some traces of weather, but I can still see the shy and innocent girl back then. We nodded to each other and exchanged a few pleasantries. Xiao Yun told me that she is doing well now and has children of her own. I blessed her from the bottom of my heart and said sincerely, "Everything in the past is gone, and I sincerely hope you can be happy." "
Xiao Yun also seemed relieved, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mingming." I also wish you that you can find your own happiness. "
At this moment, I felt that the last scars in my heart were slowly healing. We said goodbye to each other and embarked on different paths in life. Yes, life is like this, if you have a fate, you will meet, and if you don't, you will break up. I finally learned to let go and embrace a new life.
We drifted away and disappeared into the crowd. What had been hurt was like a heavy bundle of firewood, but now it has finally burned out, leaving only scattered embers. My heart was empty, but I was also relieved and refreshed.
In the early morning, I often sit alone by the window, watching the white clouds drift by slowly, smelling the fragrance of flowers and refreshing people's hearts. Occasionally, a few birds would chirp on the branches, and the innocent appearance made me smile. I started keeping a diary to record what I saw and heard during my travels, and I would also pour out my inner feelings in the diary.
Sometimes, I go hiking on Cangshan Mountain to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the mountains. Climbing to the top, I can take in the whole Dali, like a paradise. I took a deep breath, smelled the fragrance of nature, and the worries in my heart were blown away.
Gradually, I found inner peace, and the haze of the past dissipated little by little. I have come to believe that life is destined to have ups and downs, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely usher in a new dawn. Just like the day and night in Dali, the sun always rises again after the darkness.
In a small village, I met an old man. He always sits under the big tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade, and his face is full of peaceful smiles. Once, when I plucked up the courage to strike up a conversation, he gushed me about his life experience.
It turned out that the old man had also suffered a lot of blows in his life when he was young. His wife died in childbirth, and he became a single father overnight. Life was at rock bottom, and at one point he wanted to give up on life. But looking at the infant child, he regained his courage and hope, and worked desperately for the child to study.
In the end, the children have become talents, and the old people have lived a stable old age. He told me: "Life is like this, there are many hardships, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely see hope." Young people, you must face life bravely and never give up. "
After listening to the old man's story, I felt like I had drunk a pot of wine. Yes, I'm still young, life has just begun, how can I just give up? I want to embrace the future with optimism and tenacity like an old man.
Traveling has allowed me to re-understand the world and myself. I began to think about what is the meaning of life, maybe it is to live my own life, pursue happiness, and at the same time care for others and give back to society.
So, I decided to go back to my hometown and do what I could. I set up a small foundation to support some children from poor families who are excellent in character and academics to study. I am heartened to see them full of youth and ideals.
Maybe this is God's gift to me, so that I can learn how to help others through my own experience. Instead of clinging to the past, I set my sights on the future and pursue something better and more meaningful.
Whenever I see those children improve their grades or get into their dream universities, I feel extremely happy. I think this is probably the greatest happiness in life, to be able to give back to the world in my own way, to influence the lives of others, and to make it better.
The road of life is often a long spiritual journey. We must learn to let go of the obsessions of the past and embrace the future; We must learn to warm the world with love and kindness in order to achieve true happiness. At this moment, I felt that I had finally found the meaning and direction of my life, and my heart was full of sunshine.
