I, Aunt Du, am now 62 years old and have been retired for many years. Looking back, my life path was not smooth, but every step of the way has shaped me into who I am today.
I was born in a simple farming family, and my family was not wealthy, but the smell of books was the most precious treasure of my childhood. Since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the world of books, and although my family has limited resources, self-study has become my bridge to the temple of knowledge. Finally, I was admitted to that desirable high school, and four years later, I successfully entered the university and started a new chapter in my life.
After graduating, I started my career in a machine shop. At that time, the status of women was indeed not as good as it is today, but I never gave up pursuing my dreams. However, the constraints of family and traditional ideas made me feel depressed, especially after having children, I was trapped at home and lost my freedom.
Finally, I chose to get divorced, and with a million savings and two houses, I started my life again. I traveled around, met new people, and felt more freedom and joy than I had ever felt before. During that time, I felt as if I had regained the vitality of my youth, and life was full of infinite possibilities.
During the trip, I met Zhang Hao, a young and talented man. His enthusiasm and sincerity made me feel the sweetness of love again. We quickly fell in love and spent many memorable moments with each other.
However, as our relationship deepened, I began to realize that his true face was not as perfect as I thought he was. His indifference, greed, and betrayal left me deeply disappointed and angry. It turned out that he only valued my money and house, not the real me.
This experience made me feel painful, but it also made me more aware that true happiness is not the accumulation of money and material things, but the satisfaction and joy of the heart. After leaving him, I found myself again and found true happiness again.
Now, I cherish my life even more and pursue my dreams bravely. I believe that only by facing the reality bravely can we live our own worth.
