" The Shawshank Redemption " mentioned a concept: institutionalized .
At first you hate that kind of environment, but as time goes by, you will become the kind of person you once hated and rely on such an environment to survive.
This story took place during the Cultural Revolution, but it still has practical significance today.

She is the daughter of his aunt. When he was in elementary school, his aunt brought her daughter to his home. When he came back from school, he saw her for the first time. She was very cheerful and cute, with a strong country atmosphere.
She and her mother depended on each other. His parents knew about their aunt's condition and had always taken good care of them.
A few years later, my aunt remarried, and she finally had a family. With her brother, she became more cheerful. He often helped her with her homework, and due to her efforts, she later received a certificate. Her aunt was so happy when she received the certificate that she quickly showed it to his parents, who were also happy for them.
A few years later, during the turbulent period of the Cultural Revolution, his father disappeared and his mother was criticized for being "bad in composition" and soon suffered from myocardial infarction and was hospitalized.
She cooked for his mother and took care of her with him. His mother felt ashamed and inferior because of being called a "gangster". She firmly chose not to believe it and comforted him kindly.
In their adolescence, their interactions remained the same.
He gave her a book "The Youth of Marx". After reading it, she said to him: I was moved by the love between Marx and Yanni. Yanni's family was rich and powerful, and many dandies pursued her. , but she chose Marx, who was poor and had no money.
She even read out the above sentence to him: She would not trade him for any lord.
A young man and a woman, coupled with the feelings of childhood sweethearts, the two soon came together.

Later, she went to the field corps, and he went to college. Of course, being able to go to college at that time required a good background, and it all depended on having a good father.
After the two of them separated, she often wrote to him. At first, she was still cheerful and lively, but gradually her tone of voice changed. She began to laugh and curse. She laughed at bribery as a thief in the night, and scolded those who walked through the back door as an open fire. of robbers.
She lamented in several letters: Another group of people left, became soldiers, returned to the city, joined the song and dance troupe... all because of the good father.
He knew that he also relied on his father, but because of love, he did not dare to tell her, so he only responded carefully in the letter.
One day, she came back, but she became tired and depressed. He told her that he wanted to make their relationship public, and then help her get back through her father's relationship.
She struggled internally, but "for their common ideals", she finally agreed.
He returned home and confessed everything, but unexpectedly he was opposed by his parents. His father felt that although he had been liberated, the problem was not completely solved. If he helped like this, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
He was learning English at the time and was preparing to go abroad. His mother felt that the two of them were not a good match.
One wave of trouble came after another. Just when he had a headache, something happened again at her home.
Her brother was arrested on charges of "fangeming organization", and soon her father was also investigated.
In this special period, when faced with such a family, everyone was afraid of avoiding her, but he went to see her regardless of everything.
She rejected him because she "didn't want to harm your family", and finally she broke up with him. In fact, it was his mother who came to see her, and she agreed with those words.
He was very disappointed, but he didn't want to give up. Since her father was unreliable, he became what she called a "stealer" and bribed the China Youth Affairs Office, but to no avail.
Soon, their love broke off, and her whole family moved away without anyone telling him.

Later, he went to her corps and heard her story from his colleagues.
Her mother is paraplegic, but due to her composition, her family cannot enjoy the privilege of having a child by her side. When she was in trouble, a man who was 15 years older than her fell in love with her. This man could help her solve the problem and transferred her back to Beijing. Finally, she agreed to the marriage.
One day he received a letter without an address, which was sent by her. The letter said that she gradually felt that she was so weak, vulgar and even despicable, and finally wrote: I am getting married, but in my heart I just want to get married. Love you one.
