Lin Wei is twenty-five years old and has been working in the township system for three years. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a calm and sensible little girl who has studied hard and is holding a decent and stable iron rice bowl. But beneath the glamorous shell, she was trapped in the quagmire of her original family. Her father, an alcoholic and gambler, habitually demanded his life from her, her brother evaded responsibilities, and her mother was full of sorrow. For a long time, all the family burdens had been placed on her shoulders alone.
Shen Yan, forty-one years old, is Lin Wei's leader. He is sixteen years older than her. He is calm and restrained. After the divorce, he raised his daughter alone. After working together for three years, the two were just ordinary superiors and subordinates who kept their distance and had almost no personal relationship.
An urgent home phone call shattered Lin Wei's pretense of calm. With her emotions completely shattered, she went to Shen Yan to ask for leave in embarrassment. He saw that she was upset and took the initiative to drive her back to her hometown in the countryside. The house is a mess, her father is acting wild and causing trouble, and her most unbearable family truth is finally exposed by him.
On the way home, it was dark at night by the river, and she shed all her dignity and burst into tears. Without inquiring too much, he just stayed with her quietly, taking over the grievances she had been feeling for half her life.
In the desolate world, she finally waited for the belated glimmer of light.
Purpose: To write about the shackles and internal strife brought by the original family, and to tell the mutual sympathy and redemption of adults in the muddy and painful life. Even if the life experience is full of desolation, you will encounter unexpected kindness and warmth. People do not have to be trapped by their origins, and they deserve to be treated well.
