Lilai Youai

She once thought she was the one person her family could do without. Her childhood was shrouded in the gloom of not being loved, and even breathing felt like a cautious test of the waters. At fifteen, she left home to work, hoping to escape that suffocating life. But as she made her way alone in the world, she unexpectedly discovered another side of herself. It turned out she wasn't worthless at all; she had a resilience and radiance all her own.

People often lament how hard and exhausting life is, but she insisted on planting a field of sunflowers in her heart and growing toward the light, one step at a time. Later, she met a confidant who understood her, and finally received the long-awaited recognition and acceptance of her family. In making peace with herself, she not only came to understand who she was, but also found the strength to face life: true worth is not a label bestowed by others, but the way you choose to live, always turning toward the sun.
