In 1994, a 12-year-old boy from Shaanxi Province picked up a baby abandoned by the world on an ordinary day. In the face of the hardships of life, he resolutely dropped out of school and bravely embarked on a hard road in order to allow this abandoned baby to study. Now, when the boy has married a wife and formed a small family, his past and present form a touching picture.
However, the story of this Shaanxi boy is not just a simple narrative of responsibility and dedication. With the passage of time, will he be able to keep his original promise to create a warm and happy future for that baby? In the face of the trivialities of life, can he maintain his original intention and unremitting efforts?
One evening in May 1994, 12-year-old Chen Bangding walked on a familiar village road. He had walked this path countless times, but he did not expect to make an unusual discovery today.
At a deserted bend, the cry of a baby catches his attention. His voice was dry and weak, as if he had been crying for a long time. Chen Bangding followed the cry to pick up the weeds, and in the dead corner of the wild grass, he found a baby girl in swaddling clothes.
This place is remote and desolate, and it must have been a long time since the baby girl was abandoned here. Chen Bangding felt sad for a while, hesitated for a moment but picked her up, and hurriedly ran home. He was worried that he would be late for school, and he didn't dare to delay too long.
Chen Bangding was born in a disabled and poor family, his father has difficulty moving, and his mother is deaf and mute, and his life is difficult. However, this family has a generous and kind heart, and they are never stingy to help others despite the constraints of the situation. After the parents picked up the baby girl and settled it properly, Chen Bangding was relieved to go to school. After returning home, the parents named the baby girl "Chen Jinyu" and loved her as if she were their daughter. Chen Bangding finally has the sister of his dreams.
The already destitute family now has an extra baby to take care of. Life was destined to be even harder, but they still gladly accepted it. Because the reward of good deeds is not material reward, but spiritual satisfaction. This is the creed of the Chen family.
But the reality of life is far from what it should be. Without milk powder to feed, Chen Jinyu's health deteriorated. The family was in a hurry, so Chen Bangding took the initiative to ask for help from the neighbors, but it was not a matter of relying on others for help for a long time.
This family needs milk powder, money, and an adult who can earn money to support the family. This burden should have been borne by the parents, but the injustice of life, disability and change took away their ability to earn money.
Reality is unforgiving, and life goes on. A 12-year-old child should not bear such a heavy burden, but Chen Bangding chose to grow up. He resolutely decided to drop out of school and go out to work, willing to give up the innocent time that belonged to him.
On the day he stepped out of the school gate, Chen Bang left without looking back. Walking out of his parents' sight, he wiped his tears and began a long touring part-time career. He knew that he had finally become the pillar of this family, and the meaning of being this "family". The first time he got his salary, Chen Bangding was so happy that he almost floated. He bought milk powder for the first time and went home, watching his sister ** smile happily, and all the hardships were comforted in this beautiful picture.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Bangding grew to 20 years old, and he also married his wife He Jingjing during this period. Jingjing is beautiful and kind, loves her in-laws, and regards Chen Jinyu as her own sister.
The already dilapidated home, because of the addition of this good wife and mother, gradually rejuvenated with vitality and vitality. Chen's mother can finally unload her burden and live a life without fatigue. Jingjing and Jin Yu are like a pair of sisters, you and I are nong, decorating the home warmly.
Recently. A sudden car accident took away Chen's mother, who was struggling to support the family. Three months later, the grief-stricken Chen's father also passed away. Losing his parents all at once was too big a blow to the young Jin Yu. Fortunately, Jingjing is like her biological mother, holding her in her arms and comforting her.
The pain of losing his parents, coupled with the birth of a new life in his family, once again weighs on the 20-year-old Bond. However, he did not flinch in the slightest. Perhaps, the moment he brought Chen Jinyu back, Chen Bangding made up his mind to protect her and protect this family. Dropped out of school, worked part-time, got married, and had children. He seems to have an ordinary life, but he has an extraordinary sense of mission.
It is precisely because of the support of a sense of mission that Chen Bangding has grown into the most powerful pillar of this family. Wind or shine, the years have passed, this family has experienced too many life-and-death storms under his shade, but it has never collapsed.
After all the hardships and the children got married, it seems that it is time for this family to usher in the spring flowers. Jin Yu was admitted to university, and the family had great expectations - she would be the first step to turn over, and she would definitely be able to live a good life. However, just when the beautiful expectations sprouted, the bad news quietly came. Jin Yu, a senior, suddenly suffered from the final stage of stomach cancer and needed two surgeries. This is an astronomical expense for them with poor family resources.
However, compared to life, this amount of money is nothing! In order to save Jin Yu, they did not hesitate to toss, and finally scraped together enough 260,000 yuan for the operation. Isn't the heart of protecting this family springing up again? They would rather lack food and clothing than save Jinyu, because she is the hope of this family.
However, at the moment when their hopes were disappointed, fate gave them the final blow - both surgeries failed, and Jin Yu, who was about to reach the end of his life, would never see the graduation moment he had been thinking about again. At this moment, we see a mother-like woman holding the dying Jin Yu and crying bitterly; A pillar-like man sat on his knees weakly. They have guarded this home with the true love of their lives, but they are still powerless at the last moment.
Fate, no matter how difficult it is, they never flinch. However, this time, fate was too unfair, taking away not only a life, but also the hard work and expectation of the entire family for generations. How can we not weep for them?
Life is so fragile, and so are dreams. Even more fragile is the helplessness and despair of ordinary people in the face of the impermanence of fate. However, it is in this darkest hour that the warmth of humanity shines through.
Countless kind-hearted people in the society have reached out to help when they heard the news, and the story of Jin Yu has spread all over the country. At that moment, strangers united into a community of destiny, just to watch over an unknown life. Just like Chen Bangding, who didn't know each other 20 years ago, has guarded an abandoned baby to this day.
