42-year-old Zhou Jianguo failed in business and owed 200,000 yuan. He hid from creditors every day, too ashamed to go home—until his 8th-grade son Xiaoyu handed him a crumpled candy wrapper. It was the orange candy Dad made for him when he was sick last year. "The lady at the downstairs convenience store asked three times if she could buy your candy," Xiaoyu said. When Zhou sold candy outside the school, he saw Xiaoyu holding the candy jar, telling his classmates, "My dad made this—it’s way sweeter than store-bought." The "clear path" Xiaoyu mentioned wasn’t a grand plan—it was Dad returning to the man who once put his heart into small, sweet things. But when creditors showed up, Xiaoyu dragged Dad to the community senior center—inside were dozens of grandparents waiting to order candy, all the customers Xiaoyu had gathered for Dad over six months. Finally, Dad understood: the "clear path" his son pointed to was never about big success—it was about rediscovering the "sincerity" he’d lost in his business chase.
