My name is Li Li, I am 63 years old and I am retired. I'm an ordinary aunt, so ordinary that I can't be more ordinary. However, I had a seemingly extravagant desire: I wanted to find a partner, someone who could be with me for the rest of my life. It's not too much to ask, but I haven't been able to find the right person. What's the story behind this?
I was born into a traditional Chinese family, and my parents were hardworking and simple farmers. When I was a child, although my family was not wealthy, I lived happily. I have an older brother who is five years older than me and he is my role model and always protects me. My parents' expectations for me and my brother are simple, that is, they want us to grow up healthy and happy, and to be able to be filial to them.
When I was a child, I was naughty and used to play with my brother. My parents often say that I am a lively and lovely little girl, and I also enjoy their compliments. As I grew older, I began to understand the hardships of my parents. In order to be able to reduce their burden, I studied hard and hoped to change the life of my family through my own efforts.
After graduating from high school, I was admitted to a regular university and chose to major in accounting. During college, I met my current husband, who was in the same class and my first love interest. We got to know each other and slowly came together. He wasn't a brilliant person, but he was very nice to me and took good care of me. We got married after graduation and started our own little family.
Life after marriage is plain and happy. I have had two sons in succession, and they are all we have in life. Although her husband has an unstable job, he always tries his best to support the family. I also started a small business at home and barely managed to make ends meet. Although we are not rich, we love each other and have a happy family.
However, everything changed when I was 42 years old. That year, my husband left us in a sudden car accident. I lost a loved one, my children lost their father, and the whole family was plunged into great grief. I worked hard to support the family, and the children grew up with my care.
Today, the children have started a family and have a life of their own. They often urged me to find a partner and not live alone anymore. I've thought about it, too, but I have my own requirements. I want to find someone who can accompany me in my old age, someone who can truly understand me, love me, respect me, and know how to care for me. Although I am not young, I still have expectations for love, and I believe that in this world, there will always be someone who belongs to me.
I come from a traditional Chinese family and have special expectations for marriage. I want my partner to be loyal and considerate to me, and willing to face the ups and downs of life with me. However, the reality is so cruel. I'm retired, and my monthly pension isn't too much, but I still insist on what I ask for, hoping to find the right person to spend the rest of my life with. However, this seems to have become a luxury.
Just when I was depressed, my best friend Xiaofang came to talk to me. Xiao Fang is a cheerful and lively girl, we have known each other for more than 20 years, and she has always been able to bring me joy and comfort.
Xiao Fang sat opposite me, looked at my contemplative appearance, and said with a smile: "Sister Li, what's wrong with you?
I smiled wryly and nodded, telling Xiaofang my troubles. After listening to this, she frowned and said seriously: "Sister Li, you are a good person, I believe you will definitely be able to find the right person." Don't be discouraged, there will always be the right person waiting for you in the world. ”
I looked at Xiao Fang gratefully, and a warmth welled up in my heart. Perhaps, I really can't give up the pursuit of happiness because of a momentary setback. I decided to keep trying, to believe in myself and to believe in the future.
As time went on, I started to actively participate in some social activities, hoping to meet more people. I took a senior dance class and joined some interest groups. Through these activities, I have met a lot of new friends and some people I have to talk to. While most people come here for exercise or recreation, I have a glimmer of hope that I will find someone who belongs to me here.
However, as time passed, I never met the right person. There were people who were kind to me, but they didn't resonate with me, and there were people who were good but couldn't meet my requirements. I began to doubt myself, and I began to wonder if there really was the person I was expecting in this world.
One day, I participated in a volunteer activity organized by a community organization to help some elderly people in need. During the event, I got to know an old man named Mr. Zhang, who is also a widow like me. Mr. Zhang is kind and warm. We talked a lot and found out that we shared a lot of hobbies and interests.
In the communication with Mr. Zhang, I felt a sense of intimacy that I had not felt for a long time. Perhaps, that's the feeling I've been looking for. I started to try to get in touch with Mr. Zhang more and hope to get to know him better. We went to some events together, went shopping together, watched movies together. I found that I felt very happy and happy with Mr. Zhang.
However, just when I thought I had found true happiness, I discovered a heartbreaking fact - Mr. Zhang was suffering from a serious heart attack and was dying. He told me that his doctor said he might not live more than two years. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news, and tears flowed down my eyes.
Mr. Zhang looked at me, patted my hand gently, and comforted, "Sister Li, don't be sad. Life is like this, there are gatherings and dispersions, and the important thing is that we have had a good time. "Listening to Mr. Zhang's words, I felt an inexplicable touch. Perhaps, life is not perfect, but we can still find joy and happiness in a limited time.
I decided to accompany Mr. Zhang for the rest of his limited life and let his life be full of warmth and love. Although we don't have much time, I believe that together we will create more wonderful memories. I don't want long-term commitments anymore, I just want to cherish every day in front of me, and cherish the friendship and love between us.
I had a wonderful time with Mr. Zhang, we laughed and cried together. Although Mr. Zhang eventually left me, what he left me with is a memory that will last forever. After he left, I felt an inexplicable emptiness and loneliness, but I also understood that life would go on. I have to learn to be strong and keep going, because I know that only in this way can I find happiness that is truly mine.
After losing Mr. Zhang, I fell into a period of confusion and loneliness. I felt as if I had lost my bearings and didn't know how to face the future. However, life still has to go on, and I can't give up on the pursuit of happiness because of a momentary setback.
I tried to adjust my mindset and started to re-engage myself in work and socializing. I participated in more activities, made more friends, and made my life more fulfilling and meaningful.
Under the introduction of a friend, I met a man named Wang Wei. Wang Wei is a retired teacher, gentle and sincere. We quickly became good friends, often drinking tea together, chatting and sharing each other's lives.
In my interaction with Wang Wei, I felt an indescribable tacit understanding and intimacy. We share a lot of common interests and have similar life experiences. Every time I am with Wang Wei, I feel very happy and happy.
However, just when I thought I had found a true friend, I found a troubling problem - Wang Wei seemed to have some special feelings for me. He often gave me small gifts, cared about the details of my life, and even hinted at his affection for me.
I felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation. I think I should keep a friend relationship with Wang Wei, but I don't want to hurt his feelings. I started to avoid meeting him and minimizing contact with him, but he didn't seem to give up and often talked to me and asked if I needed help.
I was confused and didn't know what to do with the relationship. I didn't want to lose a good friend, but I didn't know how to explain my thoughts to him. I hope he understands my position and accepts my choice, but I'm also worried that it will hurt his feelings.
I struggled inwardly for a long time, but finally decided to be honest with Wang Wei and tell him what I thought. I asked him out, found a quiet place, and talked to him seriously. I told him that I appreciated his care and care for me, but I could only position our relationship as friends. I hope he understands my choice and accepts my decision.
After listening to my words, Wang Wei was silent for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "Sister Li, I understand your thoughts, and I will respect your choice." I hope that we can continue to be friends, share each other's lives together, and have a good time together. ”
Hearing Wang Wei's words, I felt very relieved and moved. Perhaps, friendship is the most precious thing between us. I promised Wang Wei that we would always be good friends, support each other, and encourage each other.
Since then, my relationship with Wang Wei has become even closer. We went to various events together, went on trips together, and had a lot of great time together. Although there is no love between us, our friendship is more precious than anything else.
I am thankful that life has given me such a good friend and that I no longer feel lonely when I am lonely. I know that as long as you are there, my life will be full of sunshine and warmth.
As my friendship with Wang Wei became deeper and deeper, I also began to re-examine my life and heart. After so many twists and turns, I finally understood a truth - happiness does not depend on external conditions, but from inner satisfaction and peace.
I began to pay more attention to my inner cultivation and learned to let go of all the worries and unhappiness of the past. I try to keep an open mind and face all the challenges and difficulties in life positively. I have learned to be grateful, to be grateful for everything life has given me, and to be grateful to everyone around me.
I also started to try new things to broaden my horizons and experience. I learned to draw, dance, travel, etc., to enrich my life. I found that life is not as difficult as I imagined, as long as I feel it with my heart, I can always find the beauty and happiness in it.
In the process, I also made a lot of new friends, all of whom have their own characteristics, but they all gave me a lot of help and support. Some are colleagues you met at work, some are friends you meet at social events, and some are strangers you meet while traveling. They shared their joys and sorrows with me, and I felt the warmth and strength of friendship.
However, just when I thought I had found my happiness, an unexpected piece of news shattered my peace. I received a phone call and learned that my brother had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
I was so anxious that I rushed to the hospital. In the waiting room of the hospital, I anxiously awaited news from the doctor. After a long time, the doctor finally came out of the operating room and told me that my brother's condition was stable, but he needed a series of treatments and rehabilitation. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the doctor gratefully, my heart filled with gratitude and relief.
In my brother's hospital room, I saw an old and haggard figure, lying on the bed, his face haggard, but his eyes revealed strength and hope. I looked at him distressedly, gently held his hand, and said, "Brother, you must take good care of your illness, we are all by your side, and we will not let you be alone." ”
My brother smiled slightly, stroked my head, and said, "Sister Li, you are really a good sister. I'll take good care of you, and I won't worry you. ”
I looked at my brother with tears in my eyes, my heart filled with gratitude and worry. I know that my brother's condition is not good and we need to do everything we can to help him recover. I decided to accompany my brother through this difficult time and give him the greatest support and encouragement.
During my days in the hospital, I had a lot of wonderful times with my brother. We chatted, joked, and reminisced about the past, which gave each other's hearts great comfort and satisfaction. Although my brother's condition has been good and bad, we still persevere, believing that the future will be better.
While accompanying my brother, I also reflected on my own life and life. I realized that happiness does not depend on external conditions, but on inner fulfillment and peace. As long as we have a grateful heart and cherish every day in front of us, we can find our own happiness.
With my brother by my side, my life gradually returned to normal. Although my brother's physical condition is still not optimistic, we still persevere, support each other, and face all the challenges in life together.
In the communication with my brother, I gradually realized how precious and important the companionship and love of my family are. No matter what difficulties and setbacks we encounter in life, as long as we have the support of our families, we can face them bravely and move forward strongly.
I decided to cherish everyone around me more, seize every opportunity to get together with my family, and let them feel my love and warmth. I will care more about their lives, spend more time with them, listen to their voices more, and make our family more harmonious and happy.
At my brother's suggestion, I decided to write down my story and share my experience and insights with everyone. I hope that through my story, I can give you some inspiration and help, so that more people can feel the beauty and meaning of life.
I began to write my stories, from my childhood life, my marriage experience, the pain of losing a lover, to the process of finding happiness again, I tried to describe it in the most authentic language possible. I write very seriously and devotedly, and every word and sentence is full of my heart and feelings.
In the process of writing, I re-examined my life and thought about the meaning and value of life. I have learned that happiness is not static, but requires constant effort and pursuit. As long as we have a grateful heart and cherish every day in front of us, we can find our own happiness.
Eventually, I finished my story with a title called "The Beauty of Life." I gave this book to my family and friends in the hope that they would find some inspiration and help. I also published this book on the Internet, so that more people can see my story and share my insights.
Through this book, I have received many people's recognition and praise, as well as many people's thanks and blessings. I feel happy and fulfilled because I know that my story has given many people the strength and courage to re-examine their lives and find their own happiness.
I also learned that happiness is not an unattainable dream, but something that we need to pursue and create with our hearts. As long as we have a grateful heart and cherish every day in front of us, we can find happiness that truly belongs to us.
