Say, how did you spend the hardest year?

Gabriella Zeven, an American writer, said: Everyone has the hardest year in his life, which makes life beautiful and broad.

At that time, I was ignorant. My first feeling when I saw this sentence was: Wow, that makes sense. But I can't say why.

However, a story she described in the novel "The Bookstore on the Island" has impressed me so far.

Fickley, the hero, and his wife opened a bookstore with considerable income. But unfortunate things always happen at inappropriate times.

The wife who was pregnant for more than two months died unexpectedly. Frustrated, Fickley could not accept the fact, became more withdrawn, began to paralyze himself with alcohol, and had no intention of running a bookstore. When he was down and out, even his only precious book was stolen. To make matters worse, when he couldn't even move on with his life, someone dramatically left a 2-year-old child in his bookstore.

This means that an alcoholic who can't even take care of himself has to take care of a foreign abandoned baby when he is poor.

It's hard to imagine what kind of new life will glow from such a bad life.

This year was the most difficult time in his life. Simply put, the author finally saved him and gave him a reason to die in his later years.

Fortunately for me, this is just a story. I never thought that "Fickley-style life tragedy" would really hang in front of my eyes. But it happened after all. It's hard to worry but there's nothing you can do.

Sister Chen, the daughter of the aunt next door, married in Lincun. In the first year of marriage, she gave birth to a baby. To outsiders, she is happily married.

At first, I thought she did a good job. However, Chen Jie's complaining voice told me that she was not doing well, and even said that if it wasn't for the children, she wanted a divorce. It is conceivable that she has been gritting her teeth for several years.

However, life goes on, mostly not better or worse.

This year, Chen Jie was pregnant with a second child. In order to make a living, when I was four or five months pregnant, I had to work in a small factory in hot summer, even working overtime until ten o'clock in the evening. After work, you should cook early with a big belly, or even go for a checkup yourself. But her husband is not ashamed, and even let her do it for another month, and then send her back to her hometown to have a baby.

Sister Chen said that at this time, her heart was dying.

When the baby was born prematurely, she didn't keep it, and the mother didn't even see the baby's face. She has been in Lacrimosa all day, but caesarean section has killed her half-life, so she can't walk. But the grumpy husband just wanted to talk to a doctor, but never thought of giving her a little comfort before going to bed, let alone washing her feet.

When Chen Jie recalled here, tears could not stop flowing in her eyes, and she felt sad for her husband's death. Looking at her lovely son, she vowed to live only for her five-year-old son and herself in the future. Her heart is dying, and she started a WeChat business with other baby mothers. Because of her outstanding performance, she became the gold medal lecturer of her team. Now the whole person seems to be alive again.

In our life, we will always experience something that happens inadvertently, even something extremely bad, but it may completely reverse our life trajectory.

Just like Sister Chen, because of a sudden accident, she almost beat the daylights out of her. Fortunately, her love for her son and hatred for her husband aroused her courage to stand up.

I always believe that everything is possible in the future. Yes, everyone's life has the hardest year.

This year. Some people have already been there; Some people are experiencing it; Some people have not arrived yet.

All we have to do is walk a few more steps, grit our teeth and find hope from despair.
