Xu Chang'an, a construction worker, raised his daughter, Xu Nianzhen, alone for eighteen years. She ranked first in the entire county in the unified entrance examination. For years, his wife, Jiang Yun, had used work as an excuse to miss dozens of parent-teacher meetings, attending only four. On the day of the awards ceremony, Jiang Yun claimed she had to entertain an important client and could not attend. However, a neighbor sent him a photo of her sitting in another school's auditorium alongside her first love. Onstage to receive her award, his daughter publicly thanked the father who had single-handedly held their family together, openly admitting that her mother had left long ago. The entire audience erupted in an uproar. Only then did Xu Chang'an finally understand that his daughter was speaking up for all the grievances he had silently endured, in her own way.
