My name is Li Xin, an ordinary office worker, working hard in the city. I have a father and a mother at home, and a younger brother Li Yang, who is five years younger than me, is a college student. The family is ordinary, although there is not much wealth, but life is stable. Until that day, I decided to visit my mother's home, but unexpectedly, it set off a family storm.
It all started with a letter. It was an anonymous letter, but the contents of it were jaw-dropping. The letter said that my mother's family had a long-hidden secret, and that I was the only one who could uncover the truth. The letter mentions a story about my grandfather and a secret past, along with an old **. I couldn't believe that my family was still hiding such a story.
So, I decided to go to my mother's house to find out the truth behind the letter. When I stepped into the house, the warmth and kindness of the past seemed to be swept away. Mom and Dad looked extremely nervous, and the whole family was also shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. I tried to ask about the letter, but they were secretive, pushing and shoving, looking like they wanted to say something. What puzzled me even more was that my younger brother Li Yang didn't seem to know anything about it, he just looked at me silently, with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.
After a few days at home, I noticed that my parents seemed to be deliberately avoiding certain topics, and my questions were always answered in a different way. I thought about it and felt that I had to find clues and uncover the secrets hidden in this seemingly peaceful family.
Finally, at dinner one day, I heard some key messages. When Li Yang inadvertently mentioned some ancient documents that he had stumbled upon while sorting out his family letters, my heart immediately lit up, maybe that was the truth clue I was pursuing. I pretended to be relaxed and inquired about the situation, and found that Li Yang had persuaded his parents to put the documents back in their original places, and did not leave any copies. It seems that the key to this secret lies in those documents.
In the days that followed, I began to secretly check everything in my home, including archives, books, **, etc., and became the subject of my investigation. Unexpectedly, by chance, I found an old box in a corner behind the wall, which was full of ancient documents and **, and even some yellowed letters. In these materials, I found the answer. It turned out that my grandfather was a revolutionary who went through a period of ups and downs in order to protect his comrades, during which he encountered life and death tests and even sacrificed his beloved. This is a story that I have never heard of, and I have never seen it anywhere.
As I was flipping through the records, there was a commotion outside the door, and I hurriedly put the papers away and put them in my pocket. The person who came was Li Yang, and he hurriedly told me that my parents were talking to the two of us. When we walked into the living room, we saw our parents looking solemn. It turned out that they had already found that the documents in the corner had been read, and the documents that I had expected to hand over to them in a fair and selfless manner were still in my possession. They confessed that they had always wanted to bury this incident in the depths of their memories and were unwilling to touch this painful memory again.
During the negotiations, I gradually understood their difficulties. The trauma caused by this past is too deep for the family to let us continue to suffer. After a long exchange and communication, I finally put down the documents in my hand. And my family also confessed everything about the past to me, so that I could understand their good intentions.
On the way back to the city, I couldn't calm down for a long time. After the secrets of the family were revealed, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief, but at the same time, I deeply felt the bonds and emotional bonds between families. Perhaps, every family has its own secrets, but the key is how to face and deal with them. This family storm experience has made me cherish the communication and understanding between my family members more, and I have also learned to respect the choices and decisions of family members more.
Now, I have decided not to pursue that dusty history, because it is a thing of the past. I want to cherish everyone in front of me and face everything in my family with a more tolerant and understanding attitude. Perhaps, this is the real family emotion, and it is also the happiness that I will never give up.
