Grandma's Letter

After a disastrous start-up failure and heavy debts, 27-year-old Zheng Xiaowei fled Guangzhou in embarrassment and fled back to Chaoshan Ancient Village in disgrace. Everyone said that he returned home in despair, dragging down his elderly grandmother. Only the 89-year-old grandmother Ye Shurou, regardless of the past or blame for his downfall, caught all his embarrassment and collapse with a house of fireworks and tenderness. Occasionally, Xiaowei pried open the dusty camphor wooden box of the old house, and hundreds of overseas Chinese records spanning seventy years were exposed, revealing a secret that no one knew about in the past. They were newly married and divorced when they were 16 years old. My grandfather went to Nanyang to make a living. They made a three-year agreement and eventually became a lifelong watcher. For more than seventy years, my grandma was poor for half of her life and supported the family alone. She survived the rumors and never remarried while guarding her old house and missing her. What shocked Xiaowei even more was that after his grandfather passed away, there was a strange aunt who silently sent letters for him across mountains and seas to support his family for twenty years. A two-way persistence, a nameless kindness, healed two generations. The down-and-out prodigal completed his redemption in Yanhuo Ancient Village, lost his impatience and paid off all his debts. He runs a school in the name of his grandmother and spreads good deeds, continuing the gentleness that spans mountains and seas. It turns out that the most touching love letters in the world are never words of love, but words of perseverance throughout a lifetime, gentleness and peace every year.
