I'm Chen Xiaofeng, 35 years old, born in a prosperous town.
My parents were owners of a big local hotel. Their hotels are large in size and are the most famous in the local area, attracting guests from both the local and surrounding areas and even the city.
At that time, it was rare to open a hotel, let alone a hotel as large as theirs. As a result, their business has always been thriving, with a constant stream of customers every day.
I was their second child, a girl. Since my father was the only son in the family, they always wanted to have a son to inherit the family business after my sister was born.
Although they can have a second child under the family planning policy, it is uncertain whether they will be born a boy or a girl. In order to ensure the birth of a son, they have taken various measures, including allowing mothers to avoid family planning tests during pregnancy.
However, despite their best efforts to avoid, I was still a girl.
After I was born, in order to avoid being discovered by the family planning department, they gave me to my aunt to raise. In this way, they want to be able to avoid the risks of ligation surgery.
One of my mother's two sisters, one of whom lives in a remote place called Cuiping Mountain Village. This mountain village is poor and remote, living in a difficult situation, and needs to rely on outside handouts every year to make ends meet.
My aunt didn't have any children after marriage, so when my parents handed me over to her to raise, they were very surprised, as if a precious sister Lin had fallen from the sky.
Although Cuiping Mountain Village is poor, the people here are simple, honest, kind, and beautiful. There is water to nourish the land, and one side of the water and soil to nourish the other side.
My aunt is a good-looking woman, and with this beautiful landscape, I have shown my innate talent since I was a child, and I am deeply loved by everyone.
Under the care of my aunt, I gradually grew up. Although I don't know my background, I think of my aunt as my mother.
My adoptive parents named me Feng'er, hoping that I would be like a golden phoenix and fly out of the mountains to pursue my dreams.
They took extra care of me and made me feel the warmth and happiness of my family.
Every month, I see a woman who comes to visit me, who brings money and gifts and cares for me. Years later, I learned that she was my real mother.
After graduating from junior high school, I was admitted to the city's medical school with excellent grades, and my dream of flying out of the mountain village was realized.
My aunt knew that I was admitted to medical school and gave me 5,000 yuan for tuition. Although they gave in for a while, they finally accepted the gift because they knew they couldn't afford my tuition.
While I was studying abroad, my adoptive parents told me about my life experience, which left me feeling confused and lost. I couldn't believe that my aunt, who I always thought was my mother, was actually my real mother.
My adoptive parents tried many times to bring me back to their home so that I could live a happier life, but my biological mother was unwilling, and she wanted me to grow up healthy under their care.
The understanding and tolerance between them made me feel warm and grateful. They thanked their biological mothers for their generosity and kindness.
With mixed feelings, I finished medical school and became a doctor. During my time working in the hospital, I heard many stories similar to my own, about the struggles of rural families who gave away their daughters in order to have a son.
When I got married at the age of 25, my biological mother sent me a wedding gift of 2,000 yuan, which I knew was a way for her to maintain her relationship.
Even though I know who she is, I still call her Auntie.
I know that my happiness is held up by both mothers, and I will always be grateful to them with the same filial piety.
Every month I take some free time to visit my two mothers, hoping to bring them some joy and care. List of high-quality authors
