"I know, it's just that they are better than you in certain events in life." Yu Qiuping didn't mind Yu Qiushang's back at all, but instead instructed him carefully: "For example, wrestling, writing, in these overlapping events that everyone has, they are better than you."
"But life is not composed of events that everyone is exactly the same, but also full of countless events that are different from each other." Yu Qiuping's speech speed gradually slowed down and began to recall the past: "For example, the little child who defeated you today is better than you in wrestling, but his life may not be better than you."
"He is a child of a small family. His mother has passed away long ago and his father doesn't love him. And you are different. You have this mother and father who love you, and there are so many people's concerns. At this point, you are better than him."
"For example, Dad, let me be. Dad, I have always been unpopular in the Oda family because I am a surrendered general of the Imakawa family. According to you, if I was born in Ohara, and the first family to become an official is Ohara, my life will definitely be better than now. The lord trusts me more and his colleagues treat me better."
"But my father never regrets the years at the Imakawa family, but cherishes it very much. Because if I had not been at the Imakawa family, I would not know your mother, I would not have known so many good brothers, and I would not have met His Highness and His Highness Seine who treated me as much as a mountain." Yu Qiuhei paused and continued to speak: "You may say that even in the Oda family, I would have met my wife, good brothers, and I would have met noble people who treated me as a mountain. But they are different. They are not your mother, His Highness Seine and His Highness, and they cannot compare, because this is a completely different life event! This is my unique life."
"Shang'er, do you know?" Yu Qiuping looked at the bright moon in the sky with his hands on his back, and his thoughts suddenly floated far and wide. "In my father's hometown, there is a system called the college entrance examination. All ronin must take that exam. The results of the exam determine their future. Those who do well can go to a better private school or temple, and can also work for stronger families in the future. Those who do not do well can only go to a dilapidated private school or a desolate temple, and may not get the opportunity to become an official in the future."
"Those who fail to get good exams in the college entrance examination may not be able to get along with those who come from famous families. The most unfortunate thing is that some people are actually very good, but because of the failure of one exam, they will be one level worse than those who were originally from the 50s. Once the exam is done, they will be destined to be unable to succeed early. How ironic is it. Just like you are born without a right hand, isn't this a matter of life?"
Yu Qiushang listened to his father saying contradictory words and looked at him with some puzzled eyes. However, his father did not look back, but continued to look at the bright moon and murmured: "However, I think this is not the case. The sentence that one exam determines the life of life is not wrong. What is wrong is everyone's understanding of it. The college entrance examination cannot determine the quality of life, the quality of life, but it just leads life to different paths. Some people have to go to a city thousands of miles away from their hometown, and have less time to enjoy family happiness with their parents. Some people regretted failure, but met friends who can live in a small hall. Can you say which one is better and which one is not good? No. These are two completely different lives. In different places, meet different people and have different lives."
"You are the same, Shang'er." Yu Qiuping turned around and looked at Yu Qiu'sang, "If you were not reincarnated in our family, but in a home of someone else, you might not have lost one hand. But then, you would not have met your father, me, your mother, your younger brother, Cheng Yuanmaru, or your teacher... You would not have met all the people in your life now, they are all strangers."
"I ask you, if you are asked to choose to start your life again, I will give you a right hand, give you a fair life, and make you as strong as other children as long as you work hard. But in exchange, you will never see your current parents, brothers, Seimon Maru, Takenaka teacher, and all the people you have met in your life, are you willing?"
Yu Qiushang suddenly stood there when he heard this and stopped. Yu Qiuping did not urge him, but turned around silently, looked at him calmly, waiting for his reply.
After a while, Yu Qiushang shook his head slightly, then lowered his head.
"Yes, you don't want to. Because this is your unique life. Because of your incompleteness, you will meet different people and experience different things. Perhaps you will encounter many hardships in life, but ordinary people cannot understand the joy when you overcome difficulties and dangers through hard work and write your name for the first time. Because of your incompleteness, your parents and companions may pay special attention to you, and the pride that ordinary people cannot understand the ones you prove yourself in front of them."
"Everyone's life is different. We were born in different places, had different relatives and friends, experienced different things, and lived a different life. There is only one life, we cannot start over, but we are different. Therefore, we cannot compare life. There is no good or bad life. Things that you think are bad and bad may be your most precious memories when you look back after several years."
Yu Qiuping turned his head, looked at Yu Qiushang, and walked slowly again, listening to the sound of the wooden tread in the loose snow. "Dad had also quarreled with his mother, and even separated. When he first broke up, I regretted it and felt that it was the darkest and worst moment in my life. But now, when I think back on the past, I will be glad that separation. He has allowed us to know each other better and allow us to go together forever."
"This is life, wonderful and full of change. Because of this, there is no fairness or unfairness. Every thing, everyone will have an impact on your people, and this impact will only be once, good or bad. Your incompleteness will also have a unique impact on your people, which is also part of a unique life."
·
Before they knew it, the two of them had already reached the top of the mountain.
Yu Qiuping stopped, turned his head, looked at Yu Qiushang, and hung the red leaf pendant on his neck again.
"Do you know what this red leaf pendant means?" Yu Qiuping asked with a chuckling.
"I know." Yu Qiushang nodded and whispered: "This is the token of love given to grandma by grandma, and later passed it to dad; it is also the token of love given to dad and dad, so it was passed to me."
"Then do you know what the red leaves mean?" Yu Qiuping smiled again and continued to ask in a low voice.
"I know." Yu Qiushang just nodded silently this time, without saying much.
"Oh?" Yu Qiushang's answer surprised Yu Qiuping, "Have you told you before?"
Yu Qiushang nodded for the third time, whispered, recounting his mother's words at that time: "Red leaves can only cry, not laugh. They live in the bright red made of blood, just to avoid worrying everyone. Her joys, sorrows and sorrows arise from others, bear all the pain, leaving only smiling faces for others. It lives for others throughout its life...it is for others."
"This kind of life is a tragic life. Shang'er, remember, don't be someone else's red leaves." Yu Qiuping bent down, put his hands on Yu Qiushang's shoulders, and said what Imakawa Kaede said to Yu Qiushang at that time.
"Don't live for others, don't always compare your life with others." Yu Qiuping advised earnestly: "Don't compare with your younger brother, don't compare with other children, don't compare with your parents or other warriors, and don't always regard the position of the young master of the Yu Qiu family as the object of your comparison of your life."
"Living in comparison with others' lives is too tiring, and living for others and for the family is too tiring. Perhaps, due to your incompleteness, your life path is more difficult than others."
·
Speaking of this, Yu Qiuping suddenly stopped. His eyes crossed Yu Qiushang's shoulders and looked at the mountains filled with snow. The white snow was particularly crystal clear against the moonlight. The shadows of the father and son were also very conspicuous on the snow. His eyes looked along the shadows and down the mountain road. After a long time, he suddenly smiled slightly.
Yu Qiuping signaled Yu Qiushang to turn around. Yu Qiushang was stunned for a moment and slowly turned his head away. Under the moonlight, the footprints left by him and his father climbed the mountain and spread on the snow continued until the darkness could not be seen clearly.
My father's voice also sounded in my ears.
"But this is your unique life path, no better than others, nor worse than others."
"Since it has begun, don't complain, don't be sad, and walk it bravely."
·
At that moment, Yu Qiushang suddenly felt his eyes suddenly enlightened, and there was an indescribable thought in his heart, which was gradually taking over his will. That thought transcended the young age of the childish monk, and was somewhat relieved.
He turned around and pushed away his father's hand on his shoulder with his hand. He no longer looked back at the footprints behind him, but instead stepped step by step in the snow and staggered forward.
This is my unique life.
Others cannot compare their lives, and they cannot compare with others.
Live your own way and live the way you want to live; instead of working hard to live the way others expect, and complaining about others because they can't live.
The incompleteness of my right arm has made my life path the most difficult.
But it is also thanks to its incompleteness that allows me to have a more unique life.
If life only once, why not have the most special one?
