All of this stems from a special funeral, and the protagonist of that funeral is a sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season - Shen Chunling
The news spread like a gust of wind throughout the village, and the villagers spontaneously gathered at the door of Shen Chunling's house, and with tears in their eyes, they looked at the black and white photo on the mourning hall, the girl in the photo, smiling brightly and full of youth, as if all the suffering had nothing to do with her

In the center of the mourning hall, a thin-skinned coffin was quietly placed, three young and strong young men, dressed in sackcloth, knelt in front of the coffin, crying bitterly, they were Shen Chunling's elder brother, three brothers who were not related by blood
The eldest brother Shen Qiang, holding a rough clay basin tightly with both hands, containing his sister's ashes, his tears were like beads with broken threads, and he couldn't stop falling down, muttering to himself: "Chunling, brother is sorry for you, it's my brother who doesn't have the ability to make you suffer so much......"

Why are these three brothers, who are not related to Shen Chunling by blood, so sad for her? What kind of touching story is hidden behind this?
Time back to four years ago, when Shen Chunling was still a carefree little girl, she had a happy family, and the love of her parents made her full of beautiful visions for the future, but fate played a cruel joke on her

In 1994, Chunling's father died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage due to perennial overwork, this sudden change made the originally happy family fall apart instantly, and her mother remarried to the Shen family in the neighboring village in order to live, and Chunling also followed her mother to this strange family
Stepfather Shen Shuping is a carpenter, honest and duty-oriented, he treats Chunling as his own, he often pats Chunling's head and says: "Chunling, you will treat me as your father in the future, in this family, you can study with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things"

Chunling is very sensible, she knows that it is not easy for her mother to remarry, and she also feels the sincerity of her stepfather, she works hard to integrate into this new family, helps her mother with housework, takes care of her younger brother, and is sensible and distressing
The good times did not last long, only a year later, fate once again brought a heavy blow to this stormy family, Shen Shuping accidentally fell from the scaffolding when he went out to work, resulting in high paraplegia, and has been bedridden ever since

This sudden change made this family even worse, facing huge medical expenses and the burden of life, Chunling's mother almost collapsed, she wanted to take Chunling out of this sad place, but the sensible Chunling refused
"Mom, we can't leave Dad, he is our relative, we can't leave him alone," that year, Chunling was only 14 years old, and she shouldered the burden of taking care of the family with her immature shoulders

In order to take care of her paralyzed stepfather, Chunling got up early every day to help her stepfather wash, feed, turn over and massage, and do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, all of which are heavy manual labor for an adult, let alone a 14-year-old girl
Chunling didn't complain, she endured all this silently, with her thin body, she supported the hope of a family, she took care of her stepfather, and at the same time she had to study hard, because she knew that only knowledge could change fate

The hardships of life did not crush this strong girl, she always faced life optimistically, her face was always filled with a bright smile, she was like a tenacious weed, in the barren land, trying to absorb the sunshine and rain, and growing tenaciously
In order to reduce the burden on the family, Chunling began to use her spare time to find ways to make money, she followed the old people in the village to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, went to the fields to help people plant seedlings, and went to the town to sell popsicles

Once, Chunling heard that selling blood could make money, in order to buy medicine for her stepfather, she hid from her family and secretly went to the hospital in the town to sell blood
"Chunling, it was Dad who dragged you down, and you suffered with me at such a young age......"

"Dad, don't say that, I'm not bitter at all, as long as you get better, I'll be happy," Chunling's sensible words made her stepfather cry silently
Chunling's filial piety touched the surrounding villagers, who extended a helping hand to help this suffering family, and the villagers often sent some daily necessities and food, and also took the initiative to help Chunling's family with farm work
