happiness is the feast

A few days ago, I was talking about a sensitive topic with a friend. Later, she went home and asked her mother, her mother said, "If you ask me now if I want you to do it, I will definitely not. But if you come and tell me now I've already done it, and I won't blame you."

When I heard this sentence, I suddenly thought of "The Wedding Banquet", and once again thought of the phrase "poor parents in the world".

We all thought that the father from Taiwan was kept in the dark by everyone, but in fact, the father was the one who understood everything. I was really shocked when the father spoke to his son's boyfriend in English. When we were kids, we used to think our parents knew so much and worshipped them as if they knew everything. But gradually we grew up and thought we were old enough to not need the nagging of our parents. We began to feel that our parents didn’t understand our life or our thoughts. In fact, they understood everything, but they just kept it in their hearts and used their Ways respect us, support us, accept our children's misunderstandings, and silently give us everything they can give us.

I thought my father would be furious when he knew his son was gay, but I didn't expect that my father knew everything before we knew it, and he continued to pretend he didn't know, because this was the only way to maintain the happiness of the family and the son. He just set a secret with his son's boyfriend that only the two of them knew, and said to him indifferently, "Thank you for taking care of Wei Tong."

In fact, what parents want is not a form of children's life, they still want children's Happiness, the father sees that although his son does not live like others, he lives equally happy, isn't it good, isn't that enough. So he returned to Taiwan with confidence. He raised his hands at the security checkpoint. If his son remembers his father's back, one day many years later, when he knows everything, when he thinks of his father's raised hands, he will definitely shed happy tears.

My friend and I said: "Go and watch "The Wedding Banquet", let's not make impulsive decisions, although we have done something wrong, our parents still love us, but how can we let them still love us after working hard for us all their lives Worry about our momentary confusion."

    We have never lived in this world for ourselves, we live for too many people, we are exhausted physically and mentally, but we have to break our teeth and swallow them. So many men who did not love women eventually got married and had children, and lived the rest of their lives. Five thousand years of sexual repression in China makes us think that sex only acquires its legitimacy and even nobility in the sense that it is passed down from generation to generation.
