The story we are going to tell today is called Ben Ming Nian. Mrs. Dong's fate is bad. The eldest son and the second son died in infancy. A few years later, her husband also died of illness. Only he and his youngest son Dong San were left to depend on each other. Dong San has been frail and sickly since he was a child. The old man in the village said that bad luck brings disaster easily. You need to pay extra attention in your zodiac year and act with caution.
Dong San works at the power supply station in the city. The twelfth lunar month of this year is 23rd. Mother-in-law Dong specially asked Dong San to go home and accompany her to worship the natal god, so as to eliminate disasters and gain blessings in the year of birth. After worshiping the natal god, the young master in the temple brought Mrs. Dong and her son to an incense burner. This was a wishing burner, which was very effective. Just write three wishes on a piece of paper and throw them into the furnace, and your wishes will come true one by one in your animal year. Although Dong San didn't believe it. But due to the presence of his mother, he still wrote two wishes on the paper. When he wrote the third one, he ran out of ideas, so he made up one at random, and then threw the paper with the wish on it into the furnace.
On the way back, Mrs. Dong kept asking her son what he was writing, but Dong San changed the subject and said, Mom, this is all a trick to bluff people, why are you so serious? After the Spring Festival holiday. Dong San went back to the city to work. Before leaving, Mrs. Dong specifically told her son to be careful in everything.
Two newcomers, a boy and a girl, came to the power supply station. The director asked Dong Sanduo to bring the girl named Ahui. The days of getting along have been long. The two gradually developed feelings. After confirming their relationship, they agreed to get married after the Chinese New Year. Mrs. Dong was very happy. But that was not the only thing that made her happy. Within two months, Dong San was promoted due to his outstanding work performance. One day while chatting, Dong San said to Ah Hui, do you know? My mother said I was unlucky. Pay special attention to your animal year. At the end of last year, after we worshiped our natal god, the little master asked me to write down three wishes on paper and said that if I threw them into the wishing furnace, the wishes would come true in the year of my natal year. The first two wishes I wrote were to find a partner and to get promoted. Unexpectedly, it all came true. Ah Hui asked in surprise, is it so clever? So what is your third wish? The third one was written casually. I wrote about seeing the beautiful scenery all over the country. Is this a fantasy? Ah Hui couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Seeing that this year is almost over, Mrs. Dong slowly feels relieved. She is now waiting for her son to come back to see her with Ah Hui during the Chinese New Year.
On that weekend, Dong San, who had nothing to do, was riding around on his colleague's motorcycle. Unexpectedly, there was a car accident at an intersection and he passed out on the spot. After he was sent to the hospital, he died due to ineffective rescue efforts. Mrs. Dong and Ah Hui were heartbroken. Later, at the doctor's suggestion, they donated Dong San's cornea free of charge. That evening, Ah Hui, who was busy, received a call from a man named Ah San. He said that he was a travel companion who was blind due to an accident. Because of the transplantation of Dong San's cornea, he regained his sight. I have officially been discharged from the hospital today, and I am also starting a new journey. I will use these glasses to see the beautiful scenery all over the country, he said on the other end of the phone. Ah Hui was suddenly surprised. She clearly remembered that the last wish Dong San said at that time was to experience the beautiful scenery all over the country. They all thought it was a fantasy, but they did not expect that this wish actually became a reality.
