In the city of Neijiang, Sichuan, a drama about wealth and humanity is unfolding. Zhang Sufen, a former corporate magnate, is worth tens of millions, and her old age should be beautiful, but now, she is paralyzed in bed, in a trance, and her wealth seems to be flowing into the hands of others step by step.
Judging from Zhang Sufen's life, she is a typical self-reliant woman. Born in 1927, she lost her father and mother at an early age, and lived a difficult life with her younger sister. At the age of only a teenager, Zhang Sufen shouldered the burden of the family and made a living by working as a nanny. Her diligence and honesty earned her employer's praise, and her life gradually got back on track.
The wave of reform and opening up swept the country, and Zhang Sufen saw an opportunity to change her fate. She first set up a tea stall on the street, and with her diligence and intelligence, the tea business was extremely hot. Not satisfied, she invested the money she earned in real estate and the hotel industry, and eventually expanded into catering and manufacturing, becoming a female entrepreneur with more than 20 businesses and accumulating a fortune of tens of millions.
The good times didn't last long, in 2005, Zhang Sufen chose to retire due to her advanced age, and she was alone at this time. Originally, the mutual care between neighbors made her life in her later years quite warm. But a chance encounter changed the trajectory of her life dramatically.
Lu Zhenghua, a self-proclaimed professional health care product salesman, has won Zhang Sufen's trust with his sweet words and caring attitude for the elderly. Lu Zhenghua offered to provide Zhang Sufen with free massage and housework services, and gradually, Zhang Sufen trusted her. Lu's appearance originally made the neighbors happy, thinking that Zhang Sufen had finally found a reliable helper.
The good times didn't last long, and Lu Zhenghua's behavior began to become suspicious. Zhang Sufen's social activities were becoming less and less, and her physical and mental state also took a sharp turn for the worse. Neighbors gradually discovered that the door of Ms. Zhang's house was always locked every time they visited. Once, a neighbor happened to see Lu Zhenghua feeding Zhang Sufen medicine, but he never knew what kind of medicine it was.
In 2008, Lu Zhenghua suddenly drove a luxury car worth more than 300,000 yuan, which obviously did not match the income level of the nanny. Neighbors are increasingly suspicious, fearing that Lu Zhenghua may be embezzling Ms. Zhang's property, and even more worried about her personal safety of Ms. Zhang.
At the critical moment, in a hurry, the neighbors contacted Zhang Sufen's sister in the field. It turned out that in Zhang Sufen's hometown, she also had a sister, who was also her only relative when she was a teenager. The younger sister hadn't seen her for years, but she hurried over after learning about her sister's condition.
The arrival of my sister has made everything more complicated in Neijiang City. She found that a large amount of money in her sister's account had disappeared inexplicably, and Lu Zhenghua shirked it for various reasons. Zhang Sufen's real estate is also being quietly transferred by Lu Zhenghua. Angry, her sister decided to call the police, but the police's intervention did not immediately solve the problem, because Lu Zhenghua's carefully planned trap made the evidence difficult to conclusive.
Just when things are at an impasse, an unexpected witness appears. It turned out that Lu Zhenghua's ex-boyfriend couldn't bear to see this kind of fraud continue, and took the initiative to provide the police with evidence that Lu Zhenghua had shown off to him how to control the elderly and transfer property. This testimony became the key to breaking the deadlock.
In the end, with the efforts of the police, Lu Zhenghua's crimes were revealed one by one. She not only controlled Zhang Sufen's daily life, but also affected her mind by adding drugs, and even tried to transfer Zhang Sufen's assets to her own through legal means.
So far, Zhang Sufen's property has been recovered, but her health and mental wounds are difficult to fully heal. Lu Zhenghua's greed and cruelty are outrageous, but what makes people think more is how such a tragedy can quietly happen in our society.
Zhang Sufen's story is a cautionary tale that in the pursuit of material wealth, we should pay more attention to the safety and rights of the elderly who may be overlooked. Every corner of society needs warmth and care, especially for the elderly who cannot afford to protect themselves. We should learn from Zhang Sufen's tragedy, not only to strengthen the legal system for the protection of the elderly, but also to make more efforts to care for humanity to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
