"I was truly a fool, acting as a beast of burden for those two animalistic foster mothers for ten years. It wasn't until my mother insisted on sending me down to the countryside that I finally woke up. I realized that some people have hearts of stone—no matter how much warmth you offer them, you’ll never be able to thaw them."
"Some people are born ingrates. My father treated her so well, and I was so filial to her, yet she was cold-blooded and heartless. She trampled the dignity of my father and me into the dirt, all while complaining that we were staining her life."
"With a birth mother like that, I won't be foolish enough to believe that if I spend a few years in the countryside and return to the city, she’ll suddenly treat me well."
