On a sunny afternoon, two strangers meet in the park, both with anticipation and curiosity in each other's eyes. Mr. Zhang took the water handed by Ms. Li, and sighed in his heart for the carefulness and demeanor of this lady. Ms. Li, on the other hand, had a good first impression of Mr. Zhang's gentleness and kindness.
They had a great chat, covering everything from life trivia to life experiences. Gradually, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to put forward his family situation and mate selection criteria, and he admitted that he was not wealthy, but he was willing to hand over the financial power to the other party. And Ms. Li did not hesitate to express her good impression and acceptance of him.
However, in the process of getting to know each other, a problem crept in. Ms. Li candidly told Mr. Zhang that she had an elderly mother who needed to take care of her children in turn. Mr. Zhang hesitated, he felt that his original intention of finding a wife was to spend his old age with the other party, and if the other party was often not around, what was the point?
Ms. Li listened and was not in a hurry to argue, she understood Mr. Zhang's concerns and took the initiative to propose a solution. She promised that if they lived together, she would do her best to arrange for her mother's care and go to take care of them when needed to ensure that the two of them could spend time together.
However, Mr. Zhang shook his head, feeling that he could not meet Ms. Li's request because he would rather be able to spend the rest of his life with the other party than to be separated to take care of his family.
In the end, although the two had a certain emotional resonance, they could not come together because of different family responsibilities. They may have both been looking forward to a bright future, but fate has left them with regrets in each other.
The ending of the story may not be perfect, but everyone is responsible for their own choices, and this may be life, full of unpredictable variables and challenges. Maybe the next time they meet, they will find a more suitable other half for themselves and make life better.
