Mr. and Mrs. Li Lin, an ordinary and resilient couple, their life is full of ups and downs, but they have always been tenacious and unyielding.
Li Lin, a down-to-earth and honest man, has a face engraved with traces of time. His hands were rough and strong, the result of years of hard work. His gaze is firm, and even in the face of life's difficulties, he has never flinched in the slightest.
His wife, too, was a tough woman. Her hands, like a mother who has nurtured countless lives, are warm and strong. Her small home, although simple, is always neat and orderly, full of life.
In the early years, Li Lin and his wife had courage and wisdom beyond ordinary people. They abandoned traditional farming methods and converted their paddy fields into fish ponds, starting a fish farming industry. Their hard work paid off abundantly, and they became the richest people in the village and built their first building.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. Due to their average academic performance, the two daughters entered the society after graduating from junior high school. Despite this, the Li Lin couple did not force them to follow the conventional path of life. They chose to go with the flow and give their daughters the freedom to choose their own lifestyle.
Over time, the two daughters got married one after another and had their own families. The eldest daughter recruited a son-in-law, and the younger daughter married a man in the town. Although their living circumstances are different, they have always maintained a strong bond with their parents. Every holiday, they bring their families home to reunite with their parents.
However, the trick of fate caused a huge change in the family. The divorce of the eldest daughter and son-in-law put the family in a difficult situation. The eldest daughter remarried, married away from home, and rarely had the opportunity to return home to visit her parents. Although the youngest daughter is married in this town, she has to take care of her two children and does not go out to work, so she is not financially well-off.
Faced with the pressure of life, Li Lin and his wife did not choose to give up. They bravely took up the burden of life and went to the town to find a job as a cleaner and hygienist. Despite the hard work and the low pay, they persevered because they knew it was a contribution they could make to their family.
As they grew older, Li Lin and his wife began to think about their own pension issues. They know very well that if they could plan well and pay pension insurance, their lives may be more comfortable now. However, there are no ifs in life, and they can only face reality bravely.
Thanks to their efforts, life is hard, but it is also full of warmth and hope. They used their actions to tell the children that no matter how difficult life is, as long as they have hope and move forward bravely, they will be able to overcome difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow.
