share time: 2025-12-24 06:01:35

Lin Xiaoman quit her investment bank job in Beijing and broke up with her five-year boyfriend to care for her mother with late-stage cancer. While organizing her mother's old photo album, she found a yellowed love letter—years ago, her mother gave up her first love to fulfill her best friend's relationship, hiding the regret in daily life ever since. Lying in bed, her mother held the boyfriend's business card and said, "My fulfillment was cowardice; yours should be not letting yourself regret." Xiaoman thought her mother wanted her to reconcile, but after her mother's death, she found a diary under the pillow: "I lied about the cancer spreading—I just wanted my baby to stay a little longer..." This mutual redemption about "fulfillment" hides the most touching love between a mother and daughter.
