I am a retired old man named Li Ming. My wife, Wang Fang, and I have lived together for 40 years and have a son and a daughter, both of whom are now married to each other. After I retired, I lived a quiet life, except for morning exercises and evening walks, I watched TV and chatted with my wife.
However, everything changed on that sunny morning. While I was walking in the park, I happened to meet a young woman named Liu Li. She was very beautiful, and there was a faint melancholy in her eyes. We started chatting and I found out that she is a divorced single mother who is now struggling to raise her daughter.
Gradually, I found that I had a special tacit understanding with Liu Li. We started to see each other more often, walking, chatting, and watching movies together. Every time I am with her, I forget my age and identity, as if I have returned to the love days of my youth.
However, my heart was always full of contradictions and struggles. I know that I already have a family, and the age gap between me and Liu Li is not small. I tried to suppress my emotions, but the more I suppressed them, the more painful they became.
Finally, one day, when Liu Li and I were sitting and chatting on a park bench, we were bumped into by Wang Fang. She froze, then looked at me angrily. I explained that Liu Li was just a friend of mine, but Wang Fang clearly didn't believe my explanation.
When I got home, Wang Fang and I had a heated argument. I told her that I didn't love her anymore and that I was in love with Liu Li. Wang Fang was heartbroken when she heard this, she said that she didn't want a divorce, but I didn't want to continue this loveless marriage either.
A few days later, when Liu Li and I were walking in the park, we were bumped into by Wang Fang again. This time, she didn't say anything and just left silently. I know that our marriage has come to an end.
Wang Fang and I went through the divorce procedures and started life with Liu Li. We moved to a new neighborhood and started a new life.
However, life was not as rosy as I thought it would be. The longer I spent with Liu Li, the more I discovered the differences and contradictions between us. I found that Liu Li is not the perfect woman I imagined, she also has her own shortcomings and shortcomings. I began to wonder if I had made the wrong decision.
At the same time, I also noticed that my physical condition began to decline. I often feel exhausted and even have trouble breathing sometimes. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor told me I was at high risk of heart disease and stroke.
I began to re-examine my life and values. I realized that I was no longer the young and strong young man, but an old man who needed to be cared for and loved. I began to think about what true happiness and fulfillment are.
At this time, I happened to meet an old lady named Zhang Juan. She is a retired ** who lives a very simple and fulfilling life alone. She told me that she also had a painful relationship when she was younger, but she later learned to let go of the past and cherish the present.
I started to become good friends with Zhang Juan. We walked, talked, and listened together. I found myself feeling comfortable and at ease with her. I began to realize that happiness does not come from a perfect love or marriage, but from a contented and peaceful state of mind in life.
Eventually, I decided to break up with Liu Li. I told her that I had found happiness and fulfillment that was truly mine, and that I wanted her to find her own happiness as well.
I returned to my original home and re-established a friendship with Wang Fang. We admit to each other our past mistakes and mistakes and decide to be friends instead of husband and wife. We have spent many wonderful times together and shared each other's joys and sorrows.
I also started a new relationship and got together with Zhang Juan. We supported, cared for and cared for each other, and since then, Zhang Juan and I have lived a simple and happy life. We support, care for and love each other, and share the joys and sorrows of life together. We walked and chatted together every morning, listening to her talk about her past and experiences, and listening to her insights and insights into life. Her wisdom and calmness made me feel admiration and admiration, and it also made me cherish our relationship and get along even more.
We cook together, watch movies, listen to **, and sometimes travel together to explore new places and landscapes. We were there for each other and had many wonderful times together. We don't have much material need, only the company and care for each other, but this simple life makes us feel fulfilled and happy.
I know that I have found the happiness and fulfillment that truly belongs to me. Instead of pursuing the perfect love or marriage, I have learned to cherish the moment and enjoy life. I am also grateful to Liu Li and Wang Fang for showing up, they taught me how to love and grow, and also made me cherish the people in front of me more. I believe that as long as we feel and cherish with our hearts, happiness is all around us, in our simple and ordinary life.
