The doctor knew that his every word deeply imprinted itself on Old Master Zhang’s heart.
More accurately, no one could be indifferent to their own kin, and his actions were rely an attempt to spend just a little more ti with his family. She had no other intentions, but he didn’t realize that it was because of his repeated insistence on being discharged that his grandson eventually had to leave her in the hospital.
Old Master Zhang was just an old man, aged beyond recognition. If he let his small selfish desires confine her to a hospital bed for the rest of her life, unable to rise again, how could he live with himself? After all, she was his kin, the one who worked tirelessly to give him the life he now had.
Besides, for soone like Old Master Zhang, being bedridden for life was a great insult to his dignity.
He had been such a proud man, a prominent figure in his era. But now he had beco like this, how could he not be lancholy? For any elderly person, this would be the most unacceptable fact of their life, the psychological damage irreversible, not sothing that can be forgotten with just a few words from so people, or by simply doing a few things.
"Grandpa, I know you’ve accepted all that I’ve said in your heart. Since you’ve accepted my advice, why do you still insist on leaving the hospital? You should clearly understand the consequences of your actions and the hurt they could bring to the ones you love most. You understand better than anyone, yet you choose to flee from reality because you are afraid. You don’t know how to face such an ending. But in life, there’s no one who won’t face difficulties. My heart has also known extre pain, and during that ti, I was so exhausted that closing my eyes and wishing to be isolated from the whole world seed like the happiest thing. But I later realized that escaping is not the solution. Only by bravely facing and challenging the obstacles we encounter can we have a perfect life. Why should soone else’s existence destroy the happiest life we could have?"
Gradually, I accepted the cruel reality. I didn’t have a choice because that harsh reality forced to keep striving. Only by reaching the peak of life could I perhaps prevent more cruel things from befalling . Did my heart not care? No matter what, she was the kin who loved the most. To have her gone overnight, who could accept that?"
You’re luckier than . Your grandson is so good and filial. At least you have your grandfather alive in this world. But ? Even if I want to be filial to my kin now, he is no longer here. I’m the most pitiful person in the world, and even soone as miserable as didn’t choose to run from difficulties. Then why should you flee from trouble? Can really avoiding it solve problems? If avoidance could solve problems, then why would others choose to march forward resolutely, taking on all the risks?"
"Doctor, I really understand in my heart that when you say these things to , you’re just trying to console . But hearing your words, my heart really feels much better. I’ve realized that no one in this world is free from illness, and one day will inevitably co and go from hospitals with big or small ailnts. The current is a living example!
I used to be so brilliant, now I’m just as despondent. A brave man doesn’t boast about his past, and past events have ultimately beco bygones. Why bother clinging to all that, letting it sour one’s heart? Everyone has their disappointnts, which ultimately depend on the choices they make. I don’t know what you all think, but now I understand. For my grandson, I will give up everything I care about because he is the pride of the Zhang Family, and because of him, we have today’s achievents. How can I not be grateful to him!"
I know there are no saints in this world, and I also know the inconvenience my stubborn desire to be discharged will cause. But I’m not alone; everyone will encounter bumps and falls. Only when he falls in a certain place will he realize the danger and refrain from touching it, becoming very vigilant; otherwise, he’ll eventually fall over the cliff!"
"I understand what you an by those words. Don’t worry, I won’t think about leaving here anymore because I know how important it is to make a right decision at that ti. I cannot, as you said, because of my stubbornness, let my beloved kin worry about , this old ss, over and over again!
They’re still young and should live a happy and joyful life. Why should they rush around because of an old ss like ? I can’t bear to make their lives so difficult. As long as they can live happily, that’s enough for this old man. I’m not a greedy person!"
"Grandpa, you’re not a heartless person. Your heart is softer than anyone else’s. If soone else did sothing wrong, even if it was a grave mistake, as long as they ca to you with an apology, you would forgive them out of compassion. This is why I think so highly of you, and you are the idol in my heart!
If one day I could be like you, that would be wonderful. If one day I could maintain my work without letting anything disturb it, how happy would I be?"
"Child, you’re doing so well in your job, and you have such great prospects. You must not give up easily. Keep moving forward step by step. I believe that one day you’ll shine brightly. I know about your aspirations to study abroad, and maybe you look down on worldly fa and wealth, but eventually, you will make a na for yourself because of your actions. I believe in your ability, and I hope you’ll trust your grandpa and his judgnt. Don’t give up easily. Work even harder until you reach the peak of life, and grandpa will be happy for you!"
