commoner is unforgettable. ——Li Yanshou
once said in "The Long River of Frost and Cold": "the real friendship does not depend on anything" , but in today's society, such friendship is slowly becoming less. Many people have also had friendships that seem to be a lifetime, but in the end it is either lost to distance or time. But to really say that there is no trustworthy friendship in this world, it is not, at least the friendship in this matter we are going to talk about today is touching. Today, the protagonist was arrested as a strong man when he was 14 years old. In the face of the war, his superiors fled for his life and entrusted him with his wife and children. In the end, he took care of his superiors’ wives and children for 66 years, and was unmarried all his life.
Tuochang was born in the 1920s. This period was when China was restless, and most of the people in the country were in a state of poverty. Tuo Changfa's family conditions are also very bad. From a young age, Tuo Changfa must help his parents with housework and reduce the burden on the family. If is not the last thing to change, maybe Tuo Changfa will be like ordinary rural people, wait until he grows up to marry a wife and have children, and then continue to make money for the next generation. But all this changed when Tuo Changfa was 14 years old, and he was taken away as a strong man.
This day, Yao Longhair went to mow the grass with his companions and feed the cows as usual. Suddenly he felt that the whole world was darkened. It turned out that he was blindfolded. After his eyes were loosened, he found that he had been caught and became a strong man. finally succeeded in entering the barracks when he was 18 years old. Because of his young age and good character, Tuo Changfa was very much loved by others in the barracks, especially the chief of Tuo Changfa, Yi Xiang. Yi Xiang had a very good impression of Tuo Changfa when he first met him. After getting along with him for a period of time, he even felt that he was a very good character. Later Yi Xiang left Tuo Changfa by his side as an orderly soldier, and Yi Xiang always protected Tuo Changfa in the barracks. For Tuo Changfa, Yi Xiang is of great significance to him. This is also one of the reasons why Tuo Changfa is willing to take care of Yi Xiang's wife and children.
Finally, after the war ended, everything could have been calmed down, but Yi Xiang suddenly had an accident. As a husband and father, Yi Xiang was very worried about his wife and children. Only Tuo Changfa was a trustworthy person by his side. So Yi Xiang entrusted his wife and children to Tuo Changfa before leaving, and let Tuo Changfa wait for him to return. After listening to , Yi Xiang took the matter in his heart and told Yi Xiang that he would do it. wrote in "The Analects": "people don't have faith, and I don't know what is possible." Z4z integrity is especially important for a person, not to mention Yi Xiang's meaning to Tuo Changfa is very different. So even if there is no news from Yi Xiang, Tuo Changfa did not forget his promise.
was only 24 years old at the time, which was the age when he married a wife and had children, but he had to take care of the chief’s wife and children. Originally, Tuo Changfa could take care of it for a while and then leave, but he didn't do so. He chose to wait for Yi Xiang to come back. Z3z would be more than enough if only supporting himself, but adding Yi Xiang's wife and children would be very difficult. didn't come back until Yi Xiang in 1979, and he was remarried and had children out of town. Originally, Yi Xiang thought his wife would be with Tuo Changfa, but this was not the case. In Tuo Changfa's heart, he always regarded Yi Xiang's wife as his own sister-in-law, and did not dare to overstep.
was very excited when Tuo Changfa met Yi Xiang, but when he heard that Yi Xiang had a new wife, he suddenly became suspicious of his persistence over the years. I have been taking care of my sister-in-law and got such a result. Yi Xiang felt very sorry for him, so he wanted to let him marry his original partner. Tuo Changfa refused Yi Xiang's remarks, and soon after that, Yi Xiang left. After that, Tuo Changfa still chose to continue to take care of his sister-in-law and her son until his sister-in-law passed away. He didn't return to his hometown with the help of others until he was 91 years old, and he died soon afterwards.
After Tuo Changfa passed away, a group of volunteers held a funeral for him and told the world about him. Everyone of is moved by Tuochangfa's behavior. This kind of persistence for decades is something that many people cannot do. While moving for Tuochangfa, we should also learn from his spirit.
