Preface
How do you spend your life without regrets? Is it a luxury car and villa, a luxurious material life, or a poor but loving family? Li Chengru's life seems to give us an answer.
When we see the bleak situation of his later years, we can't help but ask: Is this kind of life really worth it? His story, like a mirror, reflects the greed and fragility of human nature, as well as the preciousness and pricelessness of family affection.
This man spent half his life chasing money, but in his last days, he suddenly found that he had nothing.
His tragedy makes us ask: what is the meaning of life? How should we choose between material and family affection? These questions are worth pondering for everyone.
And Li Chengru's story may be the best answer.
1. Born in poverty, a difficult life
Li Chengru was born in a poor family.
His father died young, and his mother raised him alone.
The burden of life, from a very young age, weighed on the boy's thin shoulders.
In order to reduce his mother's burden, Li Chengru went out to work early to make money.
Cold and summer, wind and rain, he tasted the hardships of life.
However, even in the most difficult times, Li Chengru never gave up hope.
He knows that only by working hard can he change his destiny.
However, fate did not seem to spare the poor child.
As an adult, Li Chengru married a girl from a poor background, Li Shirong.
The husband and wife are very close to each other and struggle to survive on their meager income.
Even in this kind of life, Li Shirong has never complained about anything.
She used her thin shoulders to prop up the family.
With the support of his wife, Li Chengru walked out of the quagmire of life step by step.
Those difficult days have become their most precious memories.
Although the years are difficult, as long as there is love, it will never be bitter.
However, it is this kind of life that creates all kinds of flaws in Li Chengru's character in the future.
Poverty gave him a sick craving for money.
He began to believe that only money was the answer to all problems.
This thought grew stronger and stronger in his heart until he was completely blinded.
And love, in the face of money, seems so insignificant.
Li Chengru's life has embarked on a road of no return.
2. Get ahead, abandon your wife and children
The hard work paid off, and Li Chengru finally made a name for himself in the mall with his own efforts.
His career is thriving, and his family's life is getting better and better.
However, when Li Chengru tasted the sweetness of success, his personality changed drastically.
The once gentle and simple man has become a nouveau riche with no one in his eyes.
He began to dislike his wife, feeling that she was not worthy of his identity.
For his son Li Dahai, he made things difficult in every way and never cared about him.
Money, completely changed the man.
He became conceited, greedy, and no longer satisfied with everything.
In his eyes, his wife is just a burden, and his son is an eyesore.
He began to squander his money unscrupulously and live a life of drunkenness.
And home is no longer his belonging.
Finally one day, Li Chengru ruthlessly kicked his wife out of the house, leaving his young son behind, and never cared about it.
At that moment, his life completely turned into a farce.
Li Chengru, who had a successful career, began to indulge in lustful dogs and horses.
He got together with Shi Yihong, a woman 18 years younger than him.
The young and beautiful lover made Li Chengru find his passion for life again.
However, this sibling relationship did not last long and ended in failure.
Love, in the face of money, is so fragile.
And Li Chengru finally tasted betrayal.
In those years, he was like a headless fly, sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of desire.
Money made him more and more indifferent, and it also made him farther and farther away from his family.
He didn't think about what he would do one day, when he was dying, when he had nothing.
And this day has finally come.
3. Desolate and repentant in his old age
The years are ruthless, and finally they still carve a deep mark on Li Chengru's face.
The former vigor has also disappeared with the passage of time.
What Li Chengru didn't expect was that his old age was so bleak.
The wife who was abandoned back then has remarried someone else.
His son Li Dahai also harbored a deep resentment towards him because of his lack of father's love since he was a child.
Only then did Li Chengru realize what a serious mistake he had made.
He began to try to make amends, only to find that it was already too late.
Former friends also avoided this down-and-out old man.
In the mansion, Li Chengru was the only one left, bearing loneliness and desolation alone.
He began to repent and began to think about his life.
However, time will not give him a chance to start over.
The absurdity of those years, the mistakes of those years, have become indelible marks.
And he finally tasted the bitter fruits of life.
Li Chengru tried his best to exchange money for his son's forgiveness.
He introduced Li Dahai to a job, bought him a mansion, and even lived in a nursing home himself, just so that his son could change his mind.
However, money can't buy back Li Dahai's wounded heart after all.
The indifference of his son made Li Chengru taste the bitter fruits of abandoning his wife and children back then.
He finally understood that family affection is the most precious thing in the world.
And he destroyed it with his own hands.
In those days, Li Chengru was like a poor beggar who spent his old age in repentance.
He understands that all his life, he has been chasing ethereal things.
But what really makes him feel happy is the family affection he has long lost.
However, it was already too late.
In this way, Li Chengru ended his life in remorse.
His story has become a model for countless people.
And his tragedy also made the world realize the value of family affection again.
Fourth, material and family affection will eventually become eternal
Looking back on Li Chengru's life, people are full of emotion.
He spent half his life chasing money, but he forgot the most precious family affection.
When he realized this, he was powerless.
This tragedy can't help but make people ask themselves: what is the meaning of life? Material things are important, but they can't bring true happiness to people.
Only family affection is the most solid support on the road of life.
If a person loses the love of his relatives, no matter how much money he has, he can only be a sad rich man.
Li Chengru spent a lifetime to understand this truth.
And by the time he finally understood, it was already too late.
The tragedy of Li Chengru has given us a profound warning.
Everyone has to go through the road of life once.
However, while chasing our dreams, we must also learn to cherish our loved ones around us.
Only in this way can we have no regrets in our lives.
Love is the greatest power in the world.
It can leapfrog everything, and it can overcome everything.
And we have to spend a lifetime learning to love and be loved.
Life is too short, and there is only so much we can have.
Instead of wasting time on meaningless chasing, it is better to manage every relationship around you with your heart.
Only when we learn to love and learn to be grateful can our lives become more fulfilling and beautiful.
And this will also be the most precious wealth we have left to this world.
