When he was thirty-seven years old, Su Yun picked up someone he hadn't seen in eight years at a gas station.
She thought it was just an ordinary reunion. He accompanies her on trips with her children, helps her twist bottle caps, and orders takeout for her when she hurts her hand. He said, "A place with you is worth all the trouble," and "No matter what, I will live with you for decades." She believed it.
Until he said that his family persuaded him to remarry, he was a little moved.
Su Yun didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, and didn't even ask. She just wrote this relationship into a novel, and then set a small goal for herself: to earn one million a year. Not to prove anything, just to give myself a head start.
This is a story about adult emotions. There was no heart-rending, no stalking, just a thirty-eight-year-old woman who, after loving, suffering, and sobering up, chose to leave the show with dignity and then get serious about making money.
If you have ever waited for news from someone late at night, if you understand that "letting go" is harder than "owning", and if you also believe that true security is always earned by oneself, then you will definitely like Su Yun's story.
"She didn't lose to anyone, she lost to reality. But it doesn't matter. After losing, she still has to live her life. And she has to live better than before."
