The story behind the song "Grateful Heart":
In a small town in Taiwan, China, a couple made a living by picking up rags. An abandoned baby girl was picked up, and after careful negotiation they decided to adopt it. Two years later, they realized that the little girl was already two years old, could not speak, and was slow to respond to sounds. They took the child to the hospital, and upon examination they discovered that the child was born deaf-mute. But they did not abandon the little girl, did not resent the fact that the child was born with a disability, and decided to raise the little girl and let her receive an education.
The girl lived up to her parents' expectations and was admitted to a famous art academy in Taiwan. How happy and proud this ordinary couple was when their parents took the girl's college acceptance letter. But for such a financially weak family, the huge cost of going to college is simply astronomical. Once again, the couple decided to send their daughter to college.
However, on a stormy night, her husband died in a car accident. At that time, the girl was just in her sophomore year of college. Faced with sudden family changes, she wanted to give up her studies and shoulder the burden of the family with her mother. But the strong mother insisted that the girl finish college. In this way, this good mother carried the burden of the entire family on her weak shoulders. The girl studies hard in school and repays her parents with her excellent grades.
The girl always misses her lonely mother at home and wants to go home. She expressed her thoughts, but her mother wrote back: My child, my mother misses you too. But the cost of going home is very expensive, I will send you your tuition and living expenses. The girl has not been home for four years. Graduation day arrives and the girl's only wish is to return to her mother. When the girl returned home with longing and excitement, the door was locked and no one was at home.
The neighbor told her that her mother died two years ago. Before her death, she sold her kidney and told her neighbors to send her tuition and living expenses regularly every semester and write back to her. The girl regretted not seeing her mother for the last time. Later, the girl learned about her life experience. In order to commemorate the parents who raised her and express her deep gratitude and love for her great parents, the girl composed the song "Grateful Heart".
