A
Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we realize our potential tolerating ability.
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people could not bear the suffering of being a fugitive(逃亡者)and wanted to commit suicide. Knowing that,she would come to those people and soothed them by saying,“Don’t do that silly thing. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. The Japanese armies are bound to be driven away one day!”
Finally,she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China. However,her son died of disease without sufficient medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband,after knowing the death of his son,lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She said to her husband in tears,“We have a tough destiny,but however tough our lives will be,we should persist in our efforts.”
After she gave birth to the second son,her husband died of edema(水肿),which almost blew her away. But eventually,she recovered and embraced the three young children,saying,“My sweethearts,don’t feel scared. You still have me,your dear mum!”
It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up,and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was her son finally. She said to everyone she met,“Look! What I said is absolutely right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!”
She lived until 86.Before she went to Heaven,she said to her children,“You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
