A Sad Song That No One Hears

Lin Youyou's life is a long journey surrounded by suffering. In a family that favors sons over daughters, she is a redundant existence. Delicious food and pocket money are never available to her, and her parents' preference is given to her brother. When she was a child, her parents often locked her at home alone to play mahjong, which led to nightmares and loneliness. After school, an accidental scar left her as an "ugly" and "idiot" in the eyes of her classmates. Her teacher's misunderstanding and classmates' bullying made her isolated, and even her brother would wrongly accuse her. In order to seek approval from her father, she imitated her brother, but she became increasingly lost and even felt that she was really "stupid". As an adult, she entered marriage at the urging of her mother, but fell into an even more suffocating situation. The indifference and meanness of her husband and father-in-law are the norm. She devotes herself to the family, but is accused of "spending money" and "not being able to teach children well." When someone is ill, what they get is not care, but ridicule. She once wanted to find light through writing, but the reality was cold. She eventually died of illness and despair, leaving only a tragic song that no one could hear. After her death, she failed to get what she wanted. She was buried in the ancestral grave of her husband's family that suffocated her. Her husband soon married another and cared for his new wife in every possible way, leaving her suffering completely buried.
