My Dad Sued Me

Li Wei, 38 years old, is a programmer with a stable life and a wife and daughter. No one knew that his original name was Wang Wei - a name he changed by himself when he was 18 years old. In 1993, when he was ten years old, his father Wang Jianguo took away the last penny of the family's money, ran away with a girl in the cafeteria, and disappeared from the world. My mother supported the family by herself, selling sewing machines and gold bracelets, drinking liquor to make sleeping pills, and eventually died of cirrhosis of the liver. My sister jumped to her death after years of waiting. Li Wei changed his name, blocked all his relatives, and lived his life as a "person without a past." Thirty years later, a court summons came crashing into his life. Plaintiff: Wang Jianguo. Cause of action: Alimony dispute. Defendant: Li Wei. Demand: 5,000 per month, all medical care included. Attached is the diagnosis: Late stage lung cancer, expected to survive for three months. He thought his father had died a long time ago, but now, not only is he alive, but he also uses the law to force his son to support him. Li Wei was forced to face the dusty past: his mother's blue leather accounting book, his sister's diary, and the embezzled joint property of 32,000 yuan. He found a lawyer. He originally wanted to delay or refuse, but he was told that regardless of the law, children must support their parents, even if the other person has never been a father. Under the guidance of a lawyer, he no longer passively accepts it, but on the condition of "fulfilling his support obligations", he reversely pursues the family property embezzled by his father back then. In court, father and son reunited. His father was sitting in a wheelchair with an oxygen tube inserted into his nostrils. His first words were: "Weizi, have you gained weight?" Li Wei did not cry or scold, but calmly stated his mother's suffering and the stolen thirty-two thousand. Finally, mediation was reached, and Li Wei got back part of the compensation. Soon, his father died.
