She decided to change herself. She didn't want to be the person controlled by jealousy and hatred anymore.
She began to actively participate in various activities in the prison, not only labor and study, but also some cultural activities, such as singing competitions, calligraphy competitions, etc.
In the singing competition, Jiang Yao showed her singing talent. Her singing voice was melodious and full of emotion.
When she stood on the stage and sang, she felt an unprecedented relaxation and satisfaction.
The inmates in the audience applauded her, and she saw the recognition and encouragement in their eyes, which made her more determined to change.
In the calligraphy competition, she practiced every stroke carefully.
Calligraphy made her heart calmer, and she felt a kind of concentration and patience in every stroke.
Her handwriting was crooked at first, but later gradually developed its own style.
She incorporated her regrets for the past and her expectations for the future into those words.
As time went by, Jiang Yao's mentality changed dramatically.
She is no longer the woman full of resentment and jealousy, but a person who begins to face life positively and reflect on herself.
She knows she still has a long way to go, but she believes that as long as she persists, she will be able to start a new life after being released from prison.
She began to plan her life after being released from prison. She wanted to learn a craft and create a life with her own hands.
She no longer thought about competing with Jiang Zhi for anything. She just hoped that she could live a peaceful and fulfilling life.
She knew that she had hurt Jiang Zhi before, and even if Jiang Zhi could forgive her, she could not disturb Jiang Zhi's happy life anymore.
Jiang Yao's changes in prison also attracted the attention of the prison guards.
The prison guards were very pleased to see her transform from a passive and resistant prisoner into a positive person.
They began to give Jiang Yao more opportunities, such as allowing her to participate in some internal prison management work and help other prisoners solve psychological problems.
In the process of helping other prisoners, Jiang Yao also realized her own value more deeply.
She found that when she was able to help others, the satisfaction she felt in her heart was indescribable.
She patiently listened to the troubles of other prisoners and used her own personal experiences to enlighten them.
She told them that as long as they could recognize their mistakes and work hard to change, they would be able to regain their freedom and happiness.
During his time in prison, Jiang Yao also developed a habit of reading.
Although the prison library is not big, it has a wide variety of books.
She gained a lot of knowledge and strength from those books.
She read inspirational biographies and was moved by the protagonists' indomitable spirit in the face of adversity; she read philosophy books and pondered the meaning and value of life; she read literary classics and felt the complexity and beauty of human nature.
Each book is like a door to a new world, allowing Jiang Yao to see scenery she has never seen before.
She travels freely in the world of books and constantly enriches her inner self.
She knew that the more knowledge she had, the better equipped she would be to face life's challenges after she was released from prison.
She also began to pay attention to her physical health.
Although there are not many fitness equipment in prison, she uses the limited conditions to exercise.
She gets up early every day to run, running around in circles on the small playground.
Her body became stronger and stronger from the initial weakness, and her mental state also improved.
Jiang Yao's changes are comprehensive; her thoughts, mentality, behavior, and body are all moving in a positive direction.
She knew that all this was the result of her own hard work and the opportunity given to her by the special environment of the prison.
She no longer resented her experience of being in prison, but instead felt that it was a chance for rebirth given to her by fate.
She looked forward to the day when she would be released from prison. She knew that would be a real new beginning for her.
She will face the world and embrace her future life with a brand new look.
She will use her actions to prove that she is no longer the Jiang Yao who once made mistakes, but a person full of hope and positivity.
She often silently thanked those who helped her in prison, including her cellmates, prison guards, psychological counselors, and authors of books.
She knew that without them, she might still be wandering in the abyss of darkness.
She also silently wished Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen well in her heart, hoping that they could be happy forever.
She knew that her happiness did not conflict with theirs, and it was enough for her to live her own life well.
Every day Jiang Yao spends in prison is fulfilling and meaningful, and she is constantly growing and improving.
She believes that as long as she persists, her future life will be full of sunshine.
Her mindset has become so positive and optimistic that she is ready to face any challenge, whether it is personal or mental.
She has completely bid farewell to her past self, and a brand new Jiang Yao is gradually emerging in prison life.
