At some point, we made a decision, a certain action, that we didn't know about at the time. We make the decision in a hurry, things happen, and there is no time to think too much about them. Over time, one day, it will dawn on you the results of your decision. Life is a chain, and it is hard to take one away from the other. The present happiness is mortgaged for the future, and the future is mortgaged for the past. When you start making the best choices, you also choose regret, pain, and hurt. No matter how hard you try, there is an unknown truth waiting for you, and you must face the results of gain and loss.
The story takes place on a snowy night in the 1960s. Dr. David himself delivers his wife Nora, and twins come into the world. One of the girls has congenital Down syndrome.
To protect his family or himself, David deceives his wife and daughter and dies. But who would have thought that this deception has become a family's nightmare...
For twenty-five years, Nala could not bear the pain of losing her daughter and began to run away from home, alcohol, while David was haunted by guilt all day long but could not talk. He had to take the "Memory Keeper" camera, looking for baby girls, teenage girls, teenage girls, as if to leave a record of his non-existent daughter growing up.
Carolyn, the nurse who had a crush on David, did not send the girl away. She moved to another city incognito and left the girl behind, fighting social injustice all by herself, shouldering the hardships of life with difficulty, and giving her daughter a warm home...
A few years later, David and Caroline met again. She said to him: You have avoided a lot of heartaches, but you have also missed out on countless joys."
Is this the American author Kim? Edwards's novel "The Daughter Who Doesn't Exist" in the story. Once the novel came out, it immediately touched the hearts of countless readers. Everyone in the book, whether they have kept their secrets or have been deceived, whether they are children longing for parental care or parents suffering in vain, all carry their crosses and struggle on the path of destiny
This story tells a simple but profound truth of life, which is more or less the experience of each of us :
At a certain moment, we make a decision, a certain action, which we don't know at the time. We make the decision in a hurry, things happen, and there is no time to think too much about them. Over time, one day, it will dawn on you the results of your decision.
Life is a chain, and it is hard to take one away from the other. The present happiness is the future mortgage, the future is the past mortgage.
My best girlfriend once said to me: this life is really like a precision instrument. Once a screw is not tightened, you will always see the consequences of its failure in a few years. But God knows that in the past, we screwed in the best way we could. We would think, maybe it doesn't need to be this tight, or maybe it shouldn't be in this place at all. So we can see that even the most sophisticated instruments don't run, they rust, they stop, and they suddenly get stuck.
That's life.
When you start making the best choices, you also choose regret, pain, and hurt.
There is a popular song in Europe and America - "God Can't Change the Past". It tells us that since we can't change it, let's just be honest and accept it. No matter how hard you try, there will be an unknown truth waiting for you, and you must also face the results of gain and loss.
It may be that, for thousands of years, sincere feelings and honest love have been sung and praised because it is the only hope for human self-redemption, allowing us to feel a little comfort in our sorrow and bitter regret, and to catch some warmth and reality after a long period of hate and love.
