The girl he protected for thirteen years ultimately left him; how could he not be devastated!

    Tragic and heartless, a ruthless recycling merchant, in a moment of kindness, saves a stranger. She found his ad on a utility pole offering a large sum of money for a child and asked him to recycle her house. The stranger was left with only her mother. He advised his unscrupulous business partner against his unethical practices. The first time he bought her foreclosed house, he paid 600,000 yuan; the second time, when she asked for 50,000 yuan to sell her car, he gave her 150,000 yuan. When he went to her foreclosed house, he saw the once vibrant family photo. Due to the pandemic, her family had all passed away, leaving only her and her mother. Seeing her in such agony, he couldn't bear it. The family photo was shattered, blurring everyone's faces, as if erasing everything from this world. It turns out that after people disappear, photos also fade with time. The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the longing remains, heavy and relentless.
