Dong Qing: To Our Children, Eventually We Will Part Ways… Goes Viral Overnight!
We always hope that life is happy and beautiful, but there are always things we have to face. Like the words I'm about to tell you, you might not like to hear them, but we must face them bravely, right?
Child, now that you're grown up and independent, you'll be responsible for everything you do in the future.
Maturity is when a person starts to take responsibility for their own life. You should understand what you like, what you want, and how you want to live your life, and strive in those directions to achieve success and live a life you enjoy.
You may not understand some things yet, you can ask me for reference. But I can only offer advice, I won't make decisions for you. The final decision will always be yours, because the outcome will be what you bear, not me.
Child, I also hope to take care of you for a lifetime, but that's not realistic. So, when I'm not around, you need to take care of yourself.
Child, when you have your own small family, regardless of whether you invite me or not, I won't move in with you.
Child, I'm willing to spend money on my grandson and help take care of him, but I won't bring him up.
My years are increasing, and my body is getting weaker, so please understand and forgive me.
More importantly, raising children is your responsibility and your intention. Just as we raised you when you were young, your child needs you, just as you needed us when you were young. I can only help you in key moments, I can't replace you. There will certainly be hardship and fatigue, but I believe you can become a good parent and raise excellent children.
Child, I won't ask you to support me for the rest of my life, likewise, I won't support your rest of your life.
In the early years, I saved some money for my old age, which was intended to support myself, so as not to add a burden to you. Now, this idea has been realized to some extent. I will plan my old age carefully and take care of myself, please be assured.
And now that I've left the workplace, I have no additional income. Child, for your rest of your life, I also have no ability to support you, so you must work hard and strive to live a happy, joyful life. That's how I can feel at ease.
Child, the world is vast, we all want to go and see it.
Child, if one day I fall, I implore you to treat my death with positive energy. It will inevitably come.
No matter what serious illness I have, please choose the least treatment, no major surgery, no various life-supporting tubes. I hope to leave with a relaxed and beautiful journey to another world.
When I close my eyes forever, don't cry for me, rejoice for me! I've finally completed this arduous journey! I'm leaving, I'll rest, praying for you in heaven.
Child, there are still some things I want to tell you.
These words, if I don't tell you, maybe no one else will ever tell you so seriously.
1In life, nothing can buy health and happiness.
This is what my decades of life experience have taught me, and I hope you can understand this principle sooner rather than later. A healthy body is the foundation for hard work. In the future, we all need to strive to protect this 'foundation', and try to spend a little more time to accompany each other.
2Time is precious, give it to reliable people and things.
3Life is short, you must cherish it.
Life is short, you must cherish it. First, cherish life, rather than hoping for a long life, it's better to enjoy it sooner.
Secondly, cherish the fate. Family members only have one fate, no matter how long we get along, whether we love or not, we will never see each other again.
