Xiaozhu: The Life of an Ordinary Woman

Her name is Xiao Zhu. She's an utterly ordinary woman.

She grew up enduring hardship and unfair treatment. After stumbling through life as an adult, she became a mother of three.

Everyone says she's had a hard life, and she often feels that life is just too difficult.

So difficult that after a whole day, she can't even find a moment to catch her breath.

So difficult that in the dead of night, all she can do is hold her children and quietly cry.

But she doesn't dare give up.

Because behind her are three little ones who need me.

She has no great ambitions.

She only wants to work hard to earn money,

to give them a home sheltered from wind and rain,

and make sure they don't have to live as cautiously as I did from childhood.

Some say a woman's life is far too ordinary.

But this ordinary life of hers

is one she is living with all her might.
