In a corner of the village, Cui Ping, the blind woman, lives quietly. The children were in awe of her, and when they saw her from afar, they always hurried away from her, not daring to approach her easily. Cui Ping's blindness has a little-known past behind it.
It was a blazing summer, harvest season. Hanging high in the treetops, the sound is endless, and the hot wind blows on the face, as if even the air is filled with the aroma of wheat. Cuiping, as usual, bathed in the moonlight, ready to welcome a new day. She vividly remembers that the starry sky that night was a sign that the next day would be a sunny day.
However, that very night, fate played a cruel joke on her. Cui Ping lay on the bed, thinking about a few scythes that had not yet been sharpened. She got up, stepped into the utility room, and began her work. On the moon, she stopped what she was doing, rinsed it briefly, and then lay down to rest. By the time the first rays of the morning sun shone on the ground, she had already arrived at the wheat field with her tools.
She skillfully wielded her scythe, and the golden grains of wheat shone in the sun. However, at this moment, a sharp scolding broke the silence of the early morning. "Did you get up so early to steal my wheat? Shufen's voice was full of anger. Cui Ping was stunned for a moment, she didn't realize that Shufen was scolding her. It wasn't until someone pushed her violently that she suddenly realized. She looked up at Shufen, the woman who was known for her pungency in the village, standing in front of her menacingly. Cui Ping looked down at the wheat field under her feet, only to realize that she had gone to the wrong place and cut the wrong wheat.
She wanted to explain, but Shufen couldn't say anything and slapped her. Cui Ping's eyes flashed with gold stars and she fell to the ground. The people around rushed to hear the commotion and tried to separate the two. However, Shufen was unforgiving, and pushed Cui Ping to the ground. Cui Ping screamed and fell to the ground, blood staining her shirt red. Everyone rushed her to the hospital, but Shufen was long gone.
When Cuiping's husband Wu Qiang rushed to the hospital, he saw his wife's face covered in blood, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart. When he learned that his wife had lost her sight, he was even more devastated. He asked his sister to take care of Cui Ping in the hospital, and he returned home.
At home, he found Shufen. Shufen was still arrogant and domineering, dismissing Wu Qiang's accusations. In anger, Wu Qiang had a fierce conflict with Shufen and her husband. In the end, in desperation, they had no choice but to call the police to solve the problem. After negotiation, Shufen's family compensated Wu Qiang 5,000 yuan.
In the days that followed, Cuiping's life changed dramatically. Her eyes were no longer visible, but she didn't give up on life. Wu Qiang took care of her while farming at home until she gradually adapted to this life. Later, Wu Qiang went out to work to earn money to support his family, while Cui Ping stayed in the village to live alone.
Although she has lost her light, Cui Ping still maintains that kind and gentle heart. Every time she went out, she would always put a few pieces of candy in her pocket, and when she met children playing on the side of the road, she would stop and listen for a while, then call them softly, stuff the candy into their hands, and finally ask, "Do you have any?" She knew that some naughty kids would take two pieces of candy from her, but she didn't care, because she knew they just liked her.
Although Cuiping has lost her light, she is still the gentle and kind, and Cuiping is still an indispensable part of the hearts of the people in the village.
