This is a true story.
There is a family of three. The father leaves early and comes home late every day. He works in a small unit with a meager salary. The mother has been laid off for many years and her daughter has graduated from college and found a job. A workplace where I just started working. The family's income is not high, but they live a harmonious life. The couple is very loving and their daughter is very sensible.
I don’t know when some small red spots started to grow on my mother’s back. At first, she didn’t pay much attention to it. It didn’t hurt or itch. She didn’t have medical insurance, and the medical expenses were a big expense. This family, which could barely make ends meet, had no extra money to go to the doctor. When the red spots became more and more widespread and started to hurt and itch, my mother secretly came to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor immediately She was asked to be hospitalized and told to keep her under observation as it might be a sign of leukemia.
The mother told the doctor about the family’s financial situation and asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine. The kind-hearted doctor prescribed some of the cheapest medicines for her, and then directed her to go to the love hospital in the city for treatment, where she could get treatment at a very low cost. However, a disease like hers should still be treated early in a big hospital. , otherwise it will be life-threatening.
Hiding it from her husband and daughter, the wife often takes medicines that can only maintain the status quo after finishing housework. But the fire could not be contained in paper. After a while, the wife's illness was still known to her husband and daughter. They blamed her for hiding it from her family and took her to major hospitals for examination and treatment. The strange thing is that none of the hospitals can finally confirm whether she is suffering from leukemia. But they all unanimously believed that she should be hospitalized completely. The little savings the family had quickly ran out, and they also borrowed some foreign debts from relatives and friends, but the wife's illness still showed no signs of improvement. My daughter is usually a good child who doesn't talk much and is very independent in her mind. Seeing my mother being tortured by illness, my heart felt like a knife but I was at a loss what to do.
The New Year is coming, and my daughter told her mother today that there will be an event in the workplace on the Spring Festival day, and she has to go there early in the morning. Mother has always been at ease with her daughter.
The Spring Festival that year was particularly cold. After my daughter went out in the morning, she didn’t get home until after ten o’clock in the evening. The parents were already worried, but looking at their daughter's face that was red from the cold, they didn't say a word of blame.
After two months, the little red spots on my mother's body slowly subsided. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor found it incredible that the medicines she used could produce such a curative effect. I don’t know if it’s because of the magic of the medicine or because of a miracle happening to my body.
One day the daughter told her mother that she was going to Mount Tai. The mother advised her daughter to wait for some time and wait until her father was free to accompany her. My daughter blurted out that no need, it didn’t matter that I went alone last time.
Last time? Which last time, the mother asked her daughter.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, her daughter told the truth: On the Spring Festival, there were no activities held in the unit at all. I heard people say that the gods on the top of Mount Tai are very efficacious, especially on the first day of the new year. Worshiping Buddha will make you more spiritual. In order to be able to go back and forth on the same day and not worry her parents, she took the train to Mount Tai alone early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After three bumpy hours, she arrived at Mount Tai and climbed up the mountain without stopping. In every temple she passed, she knelt down to worship the gods devoutly and made a New Year's wish: May the gods bless her mother to recover from her illness as soon as possible! Now the gods have finally blessed my mother. Her mother is gradually recovering and she wants to fulfill her wish.
When the mother heard this, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She hugged her daughter's thin body, choked with tears, and said, "My child, you saved my mother's life!" This is a "compulsory subject" for a 58-year-old coal miner in Jiaozuo, Henan Province every day after getting up early - while preparing breakfast for the whole family, he washes his 86-year-old mother-in-law's face and combs her hair, and then treats his 56-year-old mentally retarded brother-in-law to dinner.
For 36 years, like the name "Xie Yanxin", he has kept and continued his promise, moved everyone around him with his optimistic and simple smile, and never bowed to the difficulties of life.
In 1973, Xie Yanxin married Xie Lan'e, a young girl from the same country who did not think she was poor. A year later, his wife died of postpartum syndrome due to childbirth. Before she died, she held Xie Yanxin's hand for a long time and refused to let go: "Please take care of my poor parents and younger brother!"
In order to comfort the father-in-law and mother-in-law who lost their daughter, let them believe that she will not After leaving this family, Xie Yanxin changed his surname to the same as his father-in-law, becoming a veritable "Xie family member".
The god of fate seems to have never favored Xie Yanxin. In the spring of 1979, my father-in-law Xie Zhaoyu suffered a severe stroke and was hospitalized while working at the Zhucun Mine. His life was saved, but he could never stand up again.
During the next 18 years of serving his father-in-law, Xie Yanxin’s actions overturned the folk saying that “there is no filial son in bedside for a long time”: he helped the old man massage, turn over, scrub, and move around. I use the money I earn to buy fruits for the elderly, but I eat pickled vegetables for a long time.
In 1983, Xie Yanxin joined the Zhucun Mine of Coking Coal Group as an excavation worker. Many people proposed marriage to Xie Yanxin, but when they met, many people backed down. Xie Yanxin made only one condition to the other party: he must not leave his father-in-law's family of three behind. In September 1984, Xie Fenxiang, a kind-hearted farm girl, walked into Xie's family and became Xie Yanxin's wife. Talking about why she chose Xie Yanxin, Xie Fenxiang had only one reason: "He was so good to his ex-wife's parents, and he was even worse to me." Now, 26 years have passed, and they have always been in the same boat through thick and thin, and they have taken care of the family together. of burden.
Xie Yanxin is very satisfied with his current life. He talks about all the hardships in the past without any complaints. He loves calligraphy, and the small hut is filled with calligraphy banners, full of bookish atmosphere. Story about Filial Piety Part 2

I'm going to take it back to my mother. If you want, you can take all the red mulberries. "Is it true? But why is one basket black and one red?" "

Filial piety can enrich one’s life, guide the direction of life’s journey, and contain the value and meaning of infinite life realm. In today's world, it may seem outdated to talk about filial piety, but it is the secret that is most consistent with the development of human potential and is also the basic moral character of a person's conduct in the world.
A filial husband is the scripture of heaven, the righteousness of earth, and the conduct of man, which is the foundation of virtue.
The grace of childbearing is reflected in the universe, and the virtue of care and recovery is equal to Haotian.
The ideal of life is ultimate care. We accompany our parents through old age and see their shoulders no longer strong, their hair turning gray, and even aches and pains from time to time. However, after years of washing, their hearts naturally emit a kind of light that can illuminate the hustle and bustle of world affairs and human relationships. The elderly are human treasures. The more traditional a civilization is, the more it values ??the elderly. Chinese people often say, "Having an elder in a family is like having a treasure." This is indeed a profoundly wise saying. A person who dare not face aging, illness and death is obviously immature. Especially when our parents accompanying our closest relatives face these difficulties, we will naturally reflect on life as a whole and deeply, thereby establishing our own more authentic life beliefs.
Home is a person’s root, a base that continues traditional concepts, from which the meaning of our lives is nourished, grown and matured, and the value and meaning of life are also inspired and realized. Therefore, experiencing love from oneself, and even extending it to oneself and others, is actually what everyone yearns for and desires to accomplish, and it also demonstrates human nature and true self-realization.
Jesus Christ once said: "In the eyes of the world, it was I who was crucified, and in my eyes, it was the world that was crucified."
Perhaps, we Really crucify oneself to externalized and unconscious thoughts, crucify the inherent conscience of human nature in the ruthless competition of materialized life, and let the true self containing eternal value be trapped in the vortex of unrealistic pursuits and fantasies.
It is rare for modern people to be so awakened. This is the case in this life and in all lifetimes. If the mind cannot awaken, it will be unable to reflect and experience, and the value life full of inner vitality will not be able to develop. Only a natural and short-lived life will be left, which is only composed of undigested knowledge transplanted from outside. At this time, the meaning of life will be changed. My personality becomes externalized and shrunk into "I am everything I have". When others ask me who I "am"? The answer may just be what I "have".
If the true nature of human nature (inner self) is dissolved in external fame, wealth, and power, the ideals of life will eventually be completely disappointed, and happiness in life will not be guaranteed, because everything a person has is only temporarily borrowed, and when time changes, the situation will change. Even on my deathbed, what do I really “have”? It is a painful bondage to be awakened to such a lack of meaning in existence!
If anyone cannot live out the value life of the group from the natural life of the individual, if he cannot transcend the isolation of individual existence and awaken to the universal existence value of human nature, the deepest requirement of human nature—— Ultimate care (moral practice) will be unable to be realized, and the value potential of human nature will not be able to grow and manifest due to the lack of spiritual interaction and enlightenment. When a person is growing up, due to the special care he receives from his parents, his mental potential develops special power. Human beings, the gods of all things, are blessed with a long period of childhood dependence. Their body and mind are long-term dependent on their parents. Family is like a person's root, from which we can recuperate, grow and mature. Family meets the requirements of human nature, allowing us to have the deepest care for our parents from the primitive emotions of human nature, and then gradually extend it to others. This true soul of interconnected human nature is the moral practice that originates from within, the foundation of human ethics of fatherly kindness and sonship. The connotation of filial piety is to return to the feelings deep in the soul and express sincere concern for the human world and life in the universe.
For a long time, history has taught us: In the long run, it is easiest for us to reveal our true temperament in our families. True and pure moral character is cultivated at home, and the foundation of moral cultivation should be filial piety. Only by harmonizing basic interpersonal relationships starting from the family can we establish a normal life order and integrate into the wider group society. Confucius and Mencius had a particularly deep experience of filial piety, so they both clearly emphasized that life must be based on filial piety in order to achieve true achievement and satisfaction.
