There will always be many painful things in life, such as the first beating, the first grievance, the first isolation, etc.
There will also be many happy things in life, the first warmth, the first care, the first helping hand, etc.
My life is like this, happiness mixed with pain.
Compared to many East Asian families, my childhood was undoubtedly tragic. I know all too well how kids my age feel.
In my life, there is no face at all. I will go wherever I can survive.
The three words "live on" are so simple to write, but every stroke must be written with my blood.
But I am undoubtedly happy. At least I still have my mother and friends to accompany me. The advantages of living at the bottom are fully realized at this moment. I will not see happy things, and I will not criticize my life for this.
It wasn't until the last moment of my mother's life that I realized that my life would no longer be happy, and what was left would be endless pain waiting for me.
My life was filled with happiness again when I too experienced what it was like to be a mother.
My dear daughter, your birth is the greatest happiness to me.
After all the hardships, your arrival is all my support.
Mother, this is how you came here, I think I have felt your situation.
Life is too rushed, and I have to say goodbye before I have time to record your life.
This letter is written to you when you are 26 years old.
Dear daughter, please don't complain about everything around you, because this is your life.
——Wu Xiaoqing
Intention: There will be a time to be happy eventually
