Filial piety is not just sothing you talk about. I rember every word you’ve said, but I also hope that you can fight for the life you want, instead of waiting for heaven to give you opportunities.
When Old Master Zhang heard his grandson say these touching words, he was truly moved and gratified, proving that over the years his love for his grandson was not wasted. He truly taught his grandson how to be a person, how to navigate life. This was his greatest pride in life. He never imagined that one day he would feel such a mont of relief. He had already experienced so much in his life and faced nurous upheavals.
He had no ti to experience these things, yet they made his life so rich and colorful. Everything can change due to soone’s transformation, but he never thought that his grandson would always stay true to his original intention. He always rembered the vow he once made, so no matter where he went, he would firmly rember his mission. He hadn’t forgotten what he wanted most deep inside his heart, nor had he forgotten the vow he made to himself to one day achieve greatness, bringing comfort to his heart.
"Child, you know that you are the most filial child in the world. Over the years, you know deep down how many things you’ve done, yet you’ve never thought about giving up your actions. You’ve always kept the vows you’ve made deep in your heart. You consider everything you care about at the bottom of your heart as extrely important. Do you know that?
When your grandfather heard you say such words today, his heart was filled with happiness and joy. But in this lifeti, your grandfather perhaps never had any ans to reach the peak. Your words made him feel proud, because I taught such a perfect child.
Never compare yourself to others, because others may not be what you want to beco. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Blindly following others’ steps will only lead to idleness, making you repeatedly unsure of what to do. Everyone has the most genuine thoughts in their heart and is unwilling to change themselves for others’ affairs. If, because of this, one’s career and deepest desires are misplaced, then this lifeti would be truly wasted. Life is really hard to live, but what can we do to survive?
The only way is to grow desperately ti and again, so that life won’t be so difficult and exhausting.
You also believe that in your lifeti, you’ve been through many storms. You can’t forget the hardships and tears you’ve experienced step by step to this day. Every step was so hard, how can you be willing to let others pull you down just like that? You also want to reach the peak of life, you want to live happily. You’re not soone who does nothing; you knew from a young age that you’re a dignified person who doesn’t hesitate to give all efforts to reach their goals. It’s because of this that your grandfather devoted all his thoughts to nurturing you, putting you through tough training ti and again."
Old Master Zhang turned to look at Zhang Zhentian after speaking to Zhang Yichen and continued, "You, as parents, truly are ruthless, not accompanying your child for a decade and more. Do you know how hard it has been for him?
Have you ever seen the sweat and tears he shed to endure the rigorous training? Do you know every ti he got hurt, when blood wouldn’t stop flowing, he gritted his teeth through the pain? His face twisted in agony, yet he was unwilling to let anyone see his painful expression, because he knew no one in this world could help him. The only thing he could rely on was the strength of his own heart.
Through his actions, he told that perhaps in this life he has no way of living happily, but he gave all his efforts to achieve his goals, and thus feels no regret. This is his biggest gain in life. You never understood what this feeling was, because you never thought to fight desperately for your family. In your eyes, you can give up everything but your freedom. You’ve beco too selfish and self-serving, knowing perfectly well that I find it hard to believe—that you are my very own son and daughter-in-law.
Sotis I really want to tell you, if you had a bit of filial piety at all, why didn’t you choose to co back ho to see ?
If you had a bit of guilt, why do you choose to wander far away ti and again, rather than stay by my side to accompany ? To , that’s an indelible pain. I am an old man, your father—yet how can you bear to leave alone here, entrusting your son to , while you wander outside alone for so many years? Are you really happy, really joyful out there?
Have you really achieved everything you wanted?
Although I knew long ago that you would one day regret your actions, I never expected that day would co so soon. You’ve never thought about where exactly your actions were wrong, just blindly sought forgiveness from others. But others owe you nothing—why should they forgive you repeatedly?
Your repeated actions have only left others thinking that you’re beyond rescue, an irredeemable bad person..."
"Dad, I already know I was wrong, please don’t say these things to anymore. I know I shouldn’t have left my son, choosing to seek the freedom I thought I deserved out there.
Because of my actions, my tone has beco so awkward now. No one has experienced my inner thoughts, and no one knows how much pain I’ve felt all these years I’ve been gone. No one understands the guilt in my heart. It’s haunted for so many years; I’ve never forgotten, because I know once I forget this guilt, I’ll plunge into an abyss of pain..."
In fact, you simply don’t understand love. Even if you accommodate , that’s not love!
