In his previous life, he was lazy and idle, especially when it came to his five children. He failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, which led to their miserable fate. His eldest daughter Chen Aiying was married off to a fool for five hundred dollars and left earlier than his father. The second son, Chen Jianguo, had the opportunity to marry the daughter of an agricultural academician and change his destiny, but he was beaten by him. The third son, Chen Jianjun, contracted the bad habit of sneaking around because of his lack of discipline, and ended up weeping behind bars for the rest of his life. The fourth son, Chen Jianmin, was promising and was admitted to Yenching University, but he blocked the tuition fees.
