Chapter 1141 - 1001 Gone with the Wind
Old Master Zhang felt deeply moved when he heard Zhang Yichen speak these words today. He never imagined that after years of painstaking guidance, it would still not be in vain. He once thought that as long as his child grew up, he could follow the life path he arranged for him. Gradually, however, he realized that it was not like this at all. Even if you give everything, it might mean nothing to him, and there’s no way around it.
"Yichen, you’ve always been the strongest child in Grandpa’s heart. But you know, after you’ve given all your efforts, everyone gets equal things. No one would repeatedly seek harm from their closest people. Perhaps we once had different opinions, but you should know that all the efforts we’ve made might seem insignificant to others, but for us, they are deeply ingrained. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. You may not have reaped any rewards for all your efforts yet, but compared to others, your harvest is greater, for you have found a love that many may never obtain in their lifetime.
No one can deprive others of the right to be happy. Happiness is always within one’s grasp. If you have put forth effort, regardless of whether the outcome is what you wanted or not, you at least have no regrets. It is the result of your own efforts and cannot be blamed on anyone else.
Truthfully, when I saw you struggling so hard time after time, as an elder, I felt deep reluctance in my heart. But I also knew that some things cannot be solved by reluctance alone. You have experienced too many hardships in your life. All the hardships have been the result of your chosen path, and you cannot blame anyone, nor have you ever blamed anyone, because you know more clearly than anyone else that the road you’ve chosen, even if it’s steep, you will walk it step by step. I believe in you, because you are different from everyone else.
Every time you earn recognition in your own way, every step you take on your most challenging path, and when you pursue your dreams and fulfill your decisions, you might find that all of it is not worth mentioning, because in everyone’s eyes, as long as you earnestly sought it, you are the most perfect."
Zhang Yichen was very happy to hear himself receiving this kind of evaluation from his music. Everyone hopes to receive the most perfect and genuine evaluation from others. No one wants a false evaluation, even if it’s flawless, it’s lost its meaning.
I hope that no misunderstandings occur between us, and I hope that each one of us can live happily.
Everyone pays the price for their decisions; I’ve said this a thousand times, ten thousand times. Gradually, I’ve become numb to it, not even knowing who I should say it to anymore.
Perhaps you think there are things I’m unwilling to communicate, but you’ve never thought that as time changes, what am I supposed to say now, and to whom should I share my heartfelt feelings?
"Grandpa, hearing you say these words today, I’m really happy, you know? But with each decision I’ve made, and each time I look back at the footprints I’ve left, I can’t believe how difficult each step was. I turned everything into what I feared most.
Have you ever thought? When family again and again discuss these things, what outcome do I get each time? But every time with sincerity, I traded for the result I least wanted to see from my family. At that moment, the pain deep in my heart was indescribable, and who understood? No one considered things from my perspective, every step I took, I can’t believe the perseverance that got me here. The difficult days I endured can only be understood by myself; others can’t feel the pain I’ve been through!
I choose to truly love my wife because she can understand how painful those days were. When she found me in the forest, I was covered in blood, standing there speechless. As a child, that moment was terrifying, I was trembling with fear, unable to look at her for fear of scaring her. She was so pure and lovely then, smiling gently at me, and I vividly remember everything she said. I can’t forget how I first met her, nor how wounded I was at that time. Every scar now is a reminder of the devilish training back then, but I never blamed anyone.
Because I know blame is pointless; every path was one I’ve chosen. No matter the economic situation ahead, no matter the storms I face, I have no reason to withdraw or eligibility to abandon the path I must walk. Others might not agree, but I govern my own life. I wanted everyone to know that abandoning me was a huge mistake. I wanted everyone to understand how much effort I put in to achieve what I have today, ensuring that no one thinks I gained without work. I’ve worked harder than anyone, so why should I gain less than others?
People are like this, always seeing their own past wounds but ignoring others’ efforts. Yet, I know every action I’ve taken comes with a price, which no one else can comprehend. Each step I’ve taken to arrive where I am today, transformed me into who I am now. Do you know? When I achieved what I have today, that moment was my proof of success—I am no longer someone easily discarded by others, I can survive on my own efforts in this world!"
