"Can you write my son's story? My son is a genius. He is now in a mental hospital, and his mother just left today. "
The narrator of the story is old man Jin. When Jin Xiaoyu was 6 years old, he was shot blind in one eye by his partner with a toy pistol. When his son grew up, he developed bipolar disorder. During his depression, he was depressed, didn't sleep and wanted to commit suicide. Manic period is particularly exciting and manic, smashing home appliances and going out.
"We just want our son to live." Like many parents, in the face of sick children, Kim and his wife have a simple idea.
Later, his wife was recommended by an acquaintance, which gave his son Jin Xiaoyu the opportunity to translate books. Starting from 20 10, Jin Xiaoyu accepted the task of publishing house and began his translation life. In the past ten years, he has translated 22 books at the rate of two books a year, including English, Japanese and German, spanning novels, movies, music and philosophy.
"Our son is a genius." Professionals also commented that the speed and quality of Jin Xiaoyu's translation are rare.
Kim and his lover work hard to take care of his son. After his lover suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, his son accompanied his father day and night to take care of his mother.
The article is about 6000 words. It is a plain narrative, without too much embellishment and lyricism, without telling the suffering and without great joy. It is simple and sincere, with the love of relatives, relying on each other, finding a way out in difficult places, tenacious and self-reliant, making people cry.
Aside from Mr. Jin Xiaoyu's current translation achievements, his "filial piety" is even more touching. In the eyes of the father, the son is like this-
Mr. and Mrs. Kim raised two sons:
Hyo-cheon Kim, the eldest son, went abroad to study after graduating from Fudan University.
Jin Xiaoyu, the youngest son, experienced weariness, dropping out of school and being rejected by the university. Finally, I taught myself to be a translator.
Both children are excellent. Comparatively speaking, the eldest son is more in line with the conventional "success". However, compared with his brother who has settled abroad and can't return to China recently because of the epidemic, Jin Xiaoyu, who is physically disabled, has no high education, no family and no friends, is the one who spends the longest time with his parents and takes care of his mother personally in bed.
"What stays with parents may be the child who seems to have no future", which is another true portrayal of many families.
There was an old man in the village who gave birth to three sons. Both the eldest and the third have good careers. Both of them bought houses and settled in the south. Every Spring Festival, they drive a luxury car home to visit their parents. These two sons are also his proud talk. When he mentioned his second son, he unconsciously hated iron and refused to produce: I don't think he can mix anything in his life.
But it is also this son who has never been far away to work. He stays at home most of the year, plowing, planting spring seeds and harvesting autumn harvest. He is busy before and after. During the Spring Festival, the whole family eats, and only the second daughter-in-law is busy with her mother-in-law in the kitchen.
And a relative. The whole family gave everything they had, sent their son to the university of 2 1 1, paid the down payment for the son who graduated from the university, and took care of the children. One year, the old man was fractured, and his son was too busy to take care of his work. He is a daughter who graduated from junior high school and has no formal job. She washed and cooked, took her to see a doctor and took care of herself for months.
Think about yourself again. I used to make my parents proud because of my grades, but now I only send something occasionally, make video calls, and care about filial piety, much like "a dead letter."
Almost all parents are eager for their children's success, and they often measure their children by secular success standards. But many times, there is no shortage of a busy striver in the workplace of a big city, but a child who knows the heat and knows the cold is indispensable in a small family.
From another perspective, this is actually reminding parents that academic performance, position and earning money are not necessary criteria for evaluating children. Instead of staring at how much he must achieve, it is better to cultivate his life, cultivate his love and gratitude, cultivate his ability to make progress under any circumstances, and be a happy and loving ordinary person.
After all, a child who knows how to repay a debt can bring fireworks-like happiness to every family and the whole society.
