When I was a child, my family was a small family, with only three people and me. My name is Li Wei, I am the only child in the family, and I have been doted on by my parents since I was a child. My parents regarded me as the jewel of their palms, and they did everything for me. When I was in school, they worked hard to get me into a good school, and when I graduated, they found me a good job and wanted me to have a good future.
And I have been working hard to live up to my parents' expectations. I have excellent grades, a successful career, I have been married for many years, my wife is gentle and virtuous, and we have lovely children. Everything seems perfect, but I often feel lonely and lost in my heart.
Perhaps because I have been pampered for so long, I always feel that I lack a sense of being needed. Gradually, a seed was planted in my heart, longing for the feeling of being needed, cared for, and relied on.
It wasn't until one day, when my wife and I went to visit her parents, that I discovered my innermost longing. My wife's parents were very nice to me, especially her father, who always brought me his best tea and talked to me as if I were their own son. I felt a warmth that I had never felt before, a feeling of being needed and I was intoxicated.
When I got home, I was lost in thought. I began to think, why was there always a lack of warmth and intimacy in my home, why did I always feel lonely at home? Gradually, a thought expanded in my mind, I wanted to be part of a warm, intimate family like my wife and parents, I wanted to be needed, to be relied on.
So, I started trying to change myself. I learned to take the initiative to care for my parents, and often called them to ask them how they were doing, and to express my concern and love. I learned to take on more responsibilities at home and try my best to make the family more welcoming and harmonious. And what makes me happiest is that my parents have slowly begun to accept my changes, they feel my sincerity and love, and they have begun to communicate with me more actively.
Time passed quickly, and I found myself no longer the only child in the family, but a brother who was loved and needed. My parents no longer treated me as a jewel in their hands, but as a member of the family, treated me as an equal. I felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction that I had never felt before, and I had finally found my place in my family.
Now, whenever I am reunited with my family, I feel an indescribable happiness. I know that I am no longer an only child, but a member of a happy family. I am willing to use my own actions to convey this happiness and warmth, so that the family will always be full of love and harmony.
