In the spring of '86, I made a decision that shocked the whole village - I wanted to marry Liu Yanyan, a widow from the next village.

At that time, she lived alone with four-year-old Xiaohao, and since the unexpected death of her husband, her tenacity and hard work have won my admiration.
My name is Li Shixi, I am an ordinary farmer in this village, maybe in the eyes of many people, I am just an ordinary person, but I know that the power of love is beyond imagination.
Although Yanyan is well-known in the neighboring village for her kindness and hard work, in my village she is the object of prejudice.
My parents were adamantly opposed to the marriage, and my mother even cried and begged me to reconsider. But I have made up my mind that Liu Yanyan is the person who deserves my life.
In the face of opposition from our families and cold eyes from the villagers, Yanyan and I chose to persevere. We know that this road will not be easy, but we also understand that only joint efforts and perseverance can prove that we have made the right choice.
In the early days of marriage, Yanyan's arrival was not welcomed by the villagers, and her past was like an insurmountable chasm, which made her hit walls everywhere.
We had a very difficult time. The indifference of our parents, the whispers of our neighbors, all of this weighed us down. But Yanyan never complained, and she slowly resolved the prejudices of the villagers in her own way.
Yanyan is always there whenever someone in the village needs help, whether it's helping to care for a sick elderly person or helping other families with their crops during the harvest season. Her kindness and hard work gradually won the favor of some people.

We decided to open a small shop together that sold daily necessities and some simple food. At first, business was not easy, and many people still had a wait-and-see attitude and were reluctant to come to our store.
But Yanyan didn't give up, she got up early every day and went to the town to buy fresh goods in person. She always had a precise understanding of the needs of the villagers, and slowly, our small shop began to have regular customers.
As time passed, more villagers began to accept Yanyan. She was very kind to the children in the village, often distributing candy and snacks for free, which made the children very fond of her, and the parents gradually changed their opinion of her.
The business of the shop is getting better and better, and we are able to use the money we earn to improve our lives, and even support some poor families in the village. The most important shift occurred during a winter blizzard.
An elderly man fell in a snowstorm and needed urgent medical attention. Yanyan and I braved the snow to take the old man to the town's hospital, an act that completely changed the villagers' perception of us. Since then, we are no longer objects of exclusion, but an integral part of the village.
In this process, my feelings have also gained a deeper understanding and experience of Yanyan. Her tenacity, bravery, and selflessness make me immensely proud.
Our relationship has been strengthened by shared challenges and efforts. Xiaohao also gradually accepted me as his stepfather, and he began to call me "Daddy", which made me feel a sense of happiness and responsibility that I had never felt before.
As the days passed, our lives slowly stabilized. Seeing our efforts and the change in the attitude of the villagers towards us, our parents began to gradually accept Yanyan and no longer point fingers at our lives as before.

Although we faced a lot of doubts and difficulties at the beginning, Yanyan and I, with our persistence and love, proved that our choice was not wrong. We have won respect with our practical actions, and also held up a piece of the sky for our love.
Over time, our small shop not only became a gathering place in the village, but also expanded into a supply center for the surrounding villages.
Our business has flourished with our wit and hard work, and our store has become an indispensable part of everything from the initial groceries to the current variety of agricultural products and daily necessities.
And more importantly, the relationship between Yanyan and I has also been strengthened by our joint efforts and challenges. One day, the person in charge of a large market in town came to our small shop and made a proposal for cooperation.
He wants us to be their supplier, which means that our business will take a qualitative leap. Faced with such an opportunity, I was both excited and worried.
It's an opportunity we've always dreamed of, but I'm worried that such an expansion won't bring unnecessary volatility to our currently stable lives.
That night, Yanyan and I had a long talk all night. She could see my hesitation, gently grabbed my hand and said, "Stony Brook, I know what you're worried about, but I also know that our lives will only be better if we keep moving forward."
I will always be there for you, and no matter what the future holds, we can face it together. Her words gave me great courage and confidence.
We decided to take on the challenge. As the partnership unfolded, our shop became busy, and the young people of the village came to help, and we not only provided jobs, but also led to the economic development of the whole village.

At this moment, Yanyan suddenly fell ill, and her body collapsed due to overwork. It was a huge blow to me, and I felt guilty and scared of losing her.
During the weeks that Yanyan was hospitalized, I stayed by her bedside almost day and night. I am deeply aware that without her, no matter how great a success is, it is meaningless.
Fortunately, Yanyan's condition was brought under control and she slowly recovered her health. This experience made us cherish each other more and made me understand that the most important thing in life is not only the success of your career, but also the happiness of spending time with your loved ones.
After Yanyan recovered, we adjusted our work methods and paid more attention to the quality of life. Our stores continue to prosper, but we pay more attention to maintaining a balance in our lives and cherish every day together.
Although this experience was full of trials, it also strengthened our belief that nothing is impossible as long as we are together.
Years passed, and the joint efforts and love between Yanyan and I finally changed the perception of the people in the village. Her parents have also fully embraced Yanyan, and they are even proud of her intelligence and hard work.
Our small shop continues to be the heart of the village, bringing prosperity not only but also the emotions of the neighborhood. Xiao Hao has grown up and become our proud child, and he has inherited Yanyan's intelligence and my tenacity.
In this small village, our story is told as a testament to the power of love and perseverance that can transcend all difficulties and prejudices.
Now, sitting in front of the store, looking at the village at sunset, Yanyan and I hold hands, and our hearts are full of gratitude.
