My name is Lin Zhiqiang and I am 72 years old. At my age, I should have enjoyed the joy of family, and my children and grandchildren were happy, but my later life was a bloody nightmare, and life was worse than death.
I was born into an ordinary working-class family, and my parents were hard-working and simple laborers. With their own hands, they created a loving home for my brother and me, although not rich. My brother Dalin is five years older than me, and we grew up together and have a deep relationship. However, fate played a cruel joke on us as adults.
His older brother, Dalin, was unfortunately injured at work and lost his left hand. The blow was almost fatal to him, who had a cheerful and optimistic personality, but a sudden turn of events made him reticent and self-defeating. His parents spent all their savings for his injury, but in the end they couldn't save his left hand.
The change in Dalin devastated me, and I vowed to get him back on his feet. So, I gave up my stable job and borrowed money to start a business, hoping to use my own efforts to create a new life for my brother. With my encouragement and help, Dalin gradually came out of the haze and began to face life again.
However, just when we thought everything was getting better, fate hit us hard again. My parents passed away one after another, and Dalin and I depended on each other. In order to support this family, we worked together to finally make a little difference in life. But at this moment, Dalin suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The news came as a bolt from the blue for me. I couldn't accept the fact that I was about to lose my brother. I tried everything I could, seeking medical advice everywhere, hoping to find a cure for my brother. But the reality is cruel, Dalin's condition is getting worse day by day, and his life is passing little by little.
In the process, I experienced trials and tribulations that I had never experienced before. I watched my brother struggle with his illness and couldn't do anything about it, and the helplessness and despair almost broke me. I began to doubt my abilities, my own worth, and even the world.
Just when I was at my most desperate, I met a mysterious person. He claimed to be a doctor and claimed to be able to treat Dalin's illness. Although I was a little skeptical, I chose to believe him in despair. I followed his request, prepared a large sum of money, and began the long ** process.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as I thought they would. **The process was extremely painful, and Dalin's body deteriorated. And that mysterious person always shirked responsibility for various reasons, and even began to blackmail me. I realized that I might have been deceived, but I couldn't help myself. I fell deeper into despair and didn't know how to deal with it all.
Just when I thought everything was irreparable, things took a turn for the worse. By chance, I met a real medical expert. He told me that although Dalin's condition was serious, it was not incurable. As long as he does it right, it's still possible.
This news rekindled my hope. I started looking around for a doctor, looking for a way to cure my brother. In the end, at the last moment of Dalin's life, we found a suitable ** plan. Although it is not possible to completely ** his illness, it can at least prolong his life and alleviate his pain.
However, the cost of all this is enormous. Not only did I give up all my savings, but I also owed a large amount of debt. In order to save my brother, I did whatever it takes, even sacrificing my own life and future.
Now, standing in the twilight of my life, looking back on the ups and downs of the past, my heart is full of endless emotion. In my later years, my life should have been comfortable and happy, but because of a sudden change, it became bloody and life-threatening.
However, I don't regret it. Because I know that for the sake of my family, for the sake of family affection, everything I have paid is worth it. I just hope that in this world, there can be fewer tragedies like mine, so that more people can enjoy a happy and peaceful life.
