There is a man in his forties who is a coal miner. He was tired of this dull life day after day, and felt that life was too boring and living was meaningless.
One day, the coal mine collapsed while at work, trapping him in a space of about twenty square meters, with no other food except a small bucket of water.
On the first day, he didn't care. Anyway, he usually acted as a monk who hit the sky bell, and it didn't seem scary to die.
The next day, hunger, loneliness and fear all came. It was pitch black all around, and I could only hear my heartbeat quietly. At this time, he began to yearn for worry-free things on weekdays.
He thought of his old father in the countryside, and traveled thousands of miles to give him a jar of moldy tofu.
He remembered his wife making a cup of fragrant flower tea for him when she got off work.
He thought of his son's sweet smile. He once remembered that his neighbor invited him to drink a drink...
Unconsciously, he regretted his daily attitude towards life. Being alone, being lazy, being indifferent, selfish, being false, and doing nothing.
On the third day and the fourth day, he was so hungry that he could hardly hold on. But when he thought of all kinds of beauty in the world, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Day 5 and 6, he is still reflecting on the past and yearning for the future in hunger, fear and loneliness.
He hated that he had forgotten his parents' birthday and had never bought a piece of clothing for his parents. He regretted that he had made a mistake and never apologized to his wife. He regretted not having sex with his brother for several years due to a misunderstanding... Only then did he feel that there were too many things to make up for. However, even he himself didn't know whether he could go out alive. But these days he has been thinking that living is a great happiness, and this belief has always supported him.
Just when he was crying, his face was filled with mixed feelings, his life was in danger. He heard the sound of an excavator coming from outside, and he wanted to shout but had no strength. A ray of sunlight shone in, and people's cheers, pleasant birds singing, and faint fragrance of flowers, he returned to the beautiful world.
From then on, he understood that the greatest happiness is to live.
