My grandma was born on 1934, that’s a poor and difficult era, she always recalled her past times. She told me that her father had died when she was young because of illness and lack of food. Hungriness is always around them.

When she was eighteen she married my grandpa. My grandpa was a gambler and lack the sense of responsibilities when he was young, what’s worse, he is a orphan, his parents left when he was seven, so you can’t imagine how hard of their life.

My grandma has four children, she said that she will never forget she went to seek her gambly husband during her period of gestation. When we chat, she can’t help thinking of her desperate times, but I don’t know how to relief her, I just looked at her and listened quietly. She is a strong woman.

I remembered that I complained to her about my dull life and study once. I said: grandpa, how unmeaningful of my life, what are we living for? She put her work away and said: life is just life, don’t try to pursue it’s meaning, what’s more, she told me that life will be never becoming what we expect, there are varieties frustrations in our life, whoever you are, no matter how old are you, you can’t avoid it. So you have to clearly understand it then try to live better.

I’m a girl of 23, I have my own life road to explore. I also have my past though I’m very young. Yes, I admitted that I lost myself for a long time, but I do my utmost to live better now. 

Sometimes, I recalled my past too: I failed my college entrance examination, I lost my lively sister, I couldn’t keep a good relationship with my mother……. All these sorrow compose my life with those happiness memories.

Today, I understand that whatever you come across, what kind of life do you live, don’t stop loving life, we can’t change the environment, but we can change the attitude toward it. Cherishing your life both suffer or enjoy, it just a progress to the final destination. When we look back one day, you will find all you experienced has been added to your happiness.
