“I know you won’t blame me. I heard you tell Dad that if things don’t work out, you should send me abroad.”
But I don't want to go abroad. If I go abroad, I won't be able to see you all anymore.
The young girl thought about how she had stayed up until 3:30 a.m. for almost a year to read books and do exercises.
But when the exam questions were released, she was completely flustered.
It was all in vain; all her torment day and night was for nothing. Was her effort even worthwhile?
Does hard work really pay off?
Her sobs grew louder, and looking at her mother's face, she asked, "Is it true that trying won't get any results?"
"No, your efforts will not be in vain. They will strengthen your will."
My mother is very pleased that my daughter is not just indulging herself, but can endure hardship and be strong.
We are all ordinary people. Grades may be important, but the scenery along the way is beautiful too.
The mother hugged her daughter tightly, her heart aching.
But she can release her eaglets with the confidence of a mother eagle.
Her fledglings are strong and brave. They can soar through the sky and fly thousands of miles.
This is part of the growth process. Everyone must acknowledge that they are just ordinary people who will succeed and fail.
Just as everyone must learn to let go and part ways.
In the last seat of the audience, a girl covered her eyes and cried.
She pulled a piece of bread from her backpack and awkwardly stuffed it into her mouth.
He opened another bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then another sip.
She choked and coughed violently.
The leaking water mixed with her tears, dripping onto her chest with each movement.
She has a terminal illness.
She was in the middle stage of cancer and decided against further treatment.
She plans to leave the money to her parents.
She was born into a rural family, and her parents struggled to send her to university.
She worked hard, sent money home, and built a house for her family.
She scrimped and saved on food and clothing, just to prove herself to those who laughed at her parents.
Even if her parents only had one daughter, she could still provide them with an apartment and a car.
But she couldn't hold on any longer.
How much longer do I have to live?
One month? Half a year?
Her backpack contained the test reports she had collected from various hospitals.
Each one is a death warrant.
Each one is filled with endless despair.
She was crying with her eyes covered.
She knew she came from an ordinary background, and she knew her efforts were ordinary.
But why wasn't she given a single way out?
In the final moments of her life, she walked to this area and bought a ticket from a scalper for 588 yuan.
She escaped the hospital and came here, just wanting everyone to keep her company, just wanting to cherish this world.
She was very lonely.
Throughout the entire match, she seemed to be peering enviously and thirstily at the brilliance of others through a glass window.
This bustling, brightly lit world has nothing to do with her.
She didn't fit in here.
It wasn't until the song "The Ordinary Road" came out that she felt that she was in the song.
Her tears fell uncontrollably.
Yes, her life is very ordinary. How extraordinary can other people's lives be?
Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up; it was her father calling.
She carefully answered the phone.
"Honey, the doctor at that provincial hospital said there's a new drug. Come back, okay? Let's get better, don't give up, alright?"
"The director said it wouldn't cost much, and there's a project you can sign up for."
You should cooperate with them in their treatment and get well soon.
Do you want to give it a try? Your mom hasn't slept all night.
...
She listened quietly, tears streaming down her face.
The singer on stage was also singing.
"I once fell into boundless darkness and struggled but could not extricate myself."
“I was once like you, like him, like the wild grass and wildflowers.”
...
"Just keep moving forward, no matter what is taken away from you."
That's a wonderful song!
Keep moving forward, no matter what life has taken away from you.
The father was still trying to persuade her on the other end of the phone.
She looked up at the stage, where the singer, dressed in a black robe, seemed to be walking a path of light.
What about her? Does she even have a path to take?
Can she still defeat Death?
Who can give her confidence?
"Your parents are here with you. We don't care about money; we only care about our daughter."
My father, who was never good with words, must have been holding back a lot of bitterness in his heart.
Her eyes were fixed on the beam of light on the stage.
It seemed to travel through countless crowds, accompanying her father's words, and shine into her heart.
"Mmm," she replied, her voice choked with emotion.
So... even ordinary people can have extraordinary paths.
Xu Yanyu held the microphone with a dreamy look in her eyes; the songs she chose were all ones she really liked.
She used to delete and add to her playlist repeatedly.
Pu Shu's "The Ordinary Road" is a song she has never deleted.
Each time she listened, her feelings were different.
Life is full of ups and downs, circumstances are different, moods are different, and the feeling when listening to it is also different.
During the toughest times, I went for job interviews.
It was pouring rain, the umbrella on her head was dripping wet, her hair was frozen in the rain, and she waded through the muddy water past her feet to find work.
The strange looks from others, the rain-soaked shirt—these are all just part of life.
Delivery riders in yellow vests whizzed past in the rain on the street.
At that time, she acknowledged that life was difficult and that she was born ordinary.
She listened to this song during a tough time and burst into tears.
Later, when she became a live streamer and earned a lot of money, she was surrounded by envy and applause.
Only she knows how difficult it was.
As the applause subsided, she remained the same. Listening to the song again late at night, she could already hum along.
