This video sometimes reminds people of the differences between urban and rural areas. When I think of the countryside, I always think of the mountains, rivers, countryside, and peace and tranquility. I feel upset when I think of the always bad workplaces and troubles in the city.
If you feel that a change of environment can resolve your inner conflicts and struggles. That's simply not possible.
Because people have different pursuits.
For example, the second uncle in the video initially stayed in bed for a year because he wanted to give up. Then his purpose is to take care of himself and not to be a burden to others. Then I made stools for the production team. Then he supported himself. This is his purpose.
You can even read it from beginning to end, and you will find that the second uncle’s life is a life of earning a living. From the independence at the beginning, to the hard work day and night later. At first, he kept doing carpentry to make a living for himself, and then to take care of his old mother and adopted daughter Ning Ning. The whip of life never stops for a moment, okay? After I spent all my savings to buy a house for my daughter, I still thought about earning my own pension so as not to be a drag on my daughter. This is the embodiment of ordinary people struggling to survive.
Therefore, what he pursues or has been doing is very different from what we do, because we do not have an end. His life is supported by countless hard work. And for us city dwellers who work hard for half our lives in busy cities, we may not gain as much as others. This is relative. For example, if you want to buy and build a house at home, it will only cost you hundreds of thousands, but it will not cost you more than a million in the city. It seems that your salary is higher, but you still cannot make ends meet.
Even if you want to stop, the whip of life will make you unable to stop.
The second uncle said that she was unable to find a wife and take care of others, so she never married.
Not to mention that his life is healing, in fact, what really inspires people is his spirit of refusing to admit defeat.
My second uncle is like you, like me, like countless incarnations of ordinary people who want to take care of themselves. That’s why it can quickly arouse everyone’s attention and understanding.
Some people hope to instill healing into this old man's life, but if you look at it from the beginning, his life was a life of hard work and struggle. When I was in school, I fell ill because of a fever and was treated as disabled by a quack doctor. Later, I was unable to get a disability certificate. You said these are not man-made disasters, but what are they?
So, we don’t have to sing about suffering and healing. What we should sing about is this old man who can bravely face misfortune and suffering in days.
I saw my second uncle’s account book, and I saw the famous saying in the notebook.
“Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory.”
The happiest person in the world is a person who does not need to be responsible for others, and the second happiest person is Those who never look back have regrets.
The most gratifying and touching thing is that although the second uncle did not have much time to accompany his adopted daughter Ningning, Ningning still grew up to be the most filial child. Because the second uncle set the best example for his children by his own behavior of being filial to his mother.
Finally, I wish the old man all the best.
Finally, I have to say something that everyone may not agree with. Second uncle cannot cure anyone’s mental internal friction.
You and I just spent about ten minutes watching a video and got a rough understanding of it
