The power of family affection: Tang Li bid farewell to the past and harvest a happy new life
Tang Li's unhappy childhood
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1990, a 7-year-old girl, Tang Li, had a nightmare she would never forget—she witnessed her mother Sun Tao hang herself. The pair of helpless eyes and the festering face were forever imprinted in Tang Li's young heart.
This sudden family tragedy gave Tang Li an indelible trauma. She hated Tang Guoqiang, the father who forced her mother to death, and even more hated the stepmother Zhuangli who soon entered their lives. "She's a junior, and she's a complete fox scripture!" The young Tang Li slandered the magnificence like this.
At the age of a person's purity, he has suffered the most cruel blow in his life. For a long time to come, Tang Li's entire world was shrouded in endless gloom...
The path to study at a young age
In order to keep Tang Li away from the sad past, in 1997, Tang Guoqiang asked her to study in the United Kingdom. Alone in a foreign country, Tang Li thought that she could put down her burden here and start a new life.
Who knows that life is always full of twists and turns. Due to financial constraints, Tang Li was on the verge of being expelled from school. She had to work to barely make ends meet, and she was adrift everywhere in a foreign land.
Just when she was at her most desperate, a kind teacher took her in, not only helping her to complete her studies, but also giving her spiritual nourishment. This gave her hope and courage to survive again.
It's a long way to get home
In 2008, Tang Li returned to Hong Kong after completing her studies. With nothing to do, she just wants to get a decent job. Fortunately, her father Tang Guoqiang's film and television industry resources gave her some opportunities, and she finally entered a newspaper as a reporter.
But the trauma in her heart has always been with her, and Tang Li's life and work have always been in a state of confusion. Until 2010, her father's health deteriorated, and she had to return to China to take care of the man who hurt her mother.
Tang Li didn't really want to forgive her father in her heart, but when she saw her old and drunken father, and her stepmother Zhuangli, who had been taking care of her father, her defenses began to crumble...
Forgiveness and rebirth
During her time with her stepmother, Tang Li slowly changed her prejudice against magnificence. This woman truly treats herself as her own mother and has never treated her as a stranger.
What moved Tang Li even more was that the root cause of her father's alcoholism was her mother's endless self-blame and remorse. Tang Guoqiang did betray his wife, but he also suffered a huge price for it.
So, under her father's sincere repentance, Tang Li's scar finally healed slowly. She began to let go of her resentment towards her parents and worked hard to save her life.
In this way, Tang Li quit her job as a journalist, married a man who drifted north, and opened a small restaurant in her hometown. Her life is finally back on track, the dust has settled, and the sun is back.
"Once upon a time, I thought I would never survive that dark time. But now I am completely different, thanks to the forgiveness and love of my father and stepmother. The 39-year-old Tang Li has regained a smile on life. An ordinary small family gave her a new life force.
The price of happiness
Although Tang Li now lives a happy life, she has paid too much for it. Those years of struggle and pain almost robbed her of hope for life.
Recalling the past, Tang Li had palpitations. She still vividly remembers how she lost all faith in life during those dark years. The shadow of her mother's tragic death loomed over her, tormenting her young mind all the time.
"Why did Mom leave us? Is it because Dad is too unkind?" Every time she recalls the words accusing her father in her mother's suicide note, Tang Li is so angry that she is like a sword in her heart cutting her soul.
She used to hate her father so much, and regarded her stepmother as a viper and scorpion. The malice and anger accumulated in her heart were like sharp knives constantly piercing her simple heart.
Even in the days of studying in a foreign country, Tang Li could not get rid of the haze in her heart. The poverty and homelessness almost made her lose the last hope for life. If it weren't for the kind teacher who rescued her, she would have almost finished this round of life.
Reconstruction of the family
Just when Tang Li's life was about to fall into a complete desperate situation, her family's forgiveness and acceptance saved her.
Father Tang Guoqiang took the initiative to get out of the abyss of drunkenness and self-depravity, sincerely repented of his mistakes when he was young, and sincerely asked his daughter for forgiveness. Tang Li looked at her father's guilty appearance, and finally let go of her prejudices against him.
What touched Tang Li even more was that her stepmother Zhuangli, who had always been rejected by her, never sneered at her like "Little San", but on the contrary, cared for her meticulously. Yes, this woman never regarded herself as an outsider, but accepted and loved this stepdaughter with a sincere heart.
With the happy acceptance of her family, Tang Li was finally completely relieved. The heart is re-injected with sunshine, and the soul is re-energized. She began to embrace a new life and rewrite a new chapter in her life with a smile and perseverance.
The joy of being born again
Today, Tang Li is a housewife in the shade court, and she and her husband have opened a small restaurant in their hometown and live an ordinary and fulfilling life. Every time she sees the innocent smiling faces of the children, she will think of her dark childhood, and she knows how to cherish the happiness of the present even more.
"I used to be a traumatized, self-contained girl, but now I'm a new lease on life, all thanks to my parents' forgiveness and love. Tang Li sighed.
Yes, it was the power of family affection that made her finally let go of her hatred and get out of the haze. She finally realized that when she forgives others, she is also forgiving herself and giving herself a new life.
The road of frank life was filled with sunshine again, and Tang Li deeply felt this hard-won happiness. From now on, she will cherish everything in a joyful mood and strive to be a proud mother of her children.
The years are like this, and the vicissitudes of life are inevitable. But as long as we have good intentions and true feelings, we can finally survive the haze of life and usher in the light. Tang Li is the best proof of this.
Once upon a time, she was almost completely crushed by the death of her mother and the breakdown of her family. The years have forged too many scars on her young heart. However, just when she was on the verge of despair, the forgiveness and love of her family saved her and rekindled her hope of survival.
With her father's sincere repentance and her stepmother's sincere love, Tang Li finally forgave those who left her a huge trauma back then. She let go of the burden of hatred and regained the courage to live with a new attitude.
