00:00The young man threw away the phone card he used to contact his parents.

00:03After obtaining his passport, he resolutely left home.

00:05His parents thought he was sulking against them.

00:07But when they went to his room to look for him,

00:09they found that he had been living in a dilapidated little room all along.

00:12And even his blanket was extremely thin.

00:14It was only then that they realized how hard his life had been all these years.

00:17The entire family finally came to a sudden realization.

00:20But it was all too late.

00:21It turned out that the young man's parents had always been working away from home.

00:25Having lived with his grandmother since childhood,

00:27he had always longed for his parents' company.

00:28In order for his parents to come back and see him,

00:30he studied diligently and scored full marks on every exam.

00:33But his parents always found excuses not to come home,

00:36either claiming that work was too busy or taking his younger siblings out to play,

00:40completely forgetting that he was also their son.

00:42It wasn't until the year the young man graduated from high school.

00:44When his parents returned home in a luxury car,

00:46the young man ran excitedly to the village entrance to greet them.

00:49But his parents only focused on talking with his younger siblings.

00:52Not only did they not inquire about how the young man had been faring all these years,

00:55they instead sent him home first because they intended to take his younger siblings out for a feast.

00:59The young man's excitement instantly plummeted to the depths of despair.

01:02Yet he still yearned for his parents to praise him.

01:04So he brought his college acceptance letter to show his parents,

01:07but unexpectedly overheard a conversation between his younger brother and his parents.

01:11Although his younger brother's grades were worse than his,

01:13their mother still favored the younger brother the most.

01:16Not only saying that the young man was only good for studying and useless,

01:19but also planning to send his younger brother abroad for further education,

01:22so that he could eventually inherit the family business.

01:24When his younger brother worried that the young man might compete with him for the family inheritance,

01:28their father stated that if that were the case, he would sever ties with the young man.

01:32Then the father explained that his purpose for returning home this time

01:34was actually to donate money for the renovation of the ancestral hall.

01:38The young man was immediately filled with sorrow,

01:40only to realize that he had always been the extra one.

01:43Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred at a restaurant,

01:45and a circular plate pinned the young man's leg, rendering him immobile.

01:48Just as the building was about to collapse,

01:50his parents only thought of dragging his younger siblings to safety.

01:53The young man reached out to his parents for help,

01:55but they still chose to rescue the younger siblings first.

01:58Fortunately, some kind-hearted people rescued the young man and took him to the hospital.

02:01And when he woke up, he found only a doctor by his side.

02:04Suddenly, his mother called him, and the young man felt happy again,

02:07but his mother instructed him to go and take care of his injured younger brother right away.

02:11And the young man's heart immediately sank into despair.

02:13He clearly suffered from even more serious injuries.

02:15So he decided not to leave behind any attachments,

02:18and immediately called the foreign university,

02:20determining that he would go study abroad in 10 days.

02:22Perhaps his parents sensed that something was amiss,

02:24and they planned to change his surname back to his father's.

02:27Since originally, because his parents had a second child,

02:29the young man had the same surname as his grandmother,

02:32and now his parents wanted him to revert to the original surname.

02:34The young man's long-awaited dream of over a decade was about to come true,

02:37yet he felt no joy whatsoever.

02:39So he threw the household registration documents his mother had given him into the trash.

02:43And without looking back, he walked into the exit entry administration to apply for a passport.

02:47After returning home, he tore up all the awards he had received over the years,

02:51and even burned the family portrait he had drawn,

02:53and finally went to say goodbye to his grandmother, who had raised him.

02:56Then he took a bus and left his hometown.

02:58Meanwhile, his father was at the ancestral hall, paying respects to their ancestors.

03:01And when he called for the young man to hold a name-changing ceremony,

03:04he found that the young man was nowhere to be seen.

03:06And then his younger sister ran in and said that the young man was missing.

03:09When his mother tried calling him,

03:10there was no answer because the young man had already thrown away his phone card.

03:14He no longer wished to have any contact with his family.

03:16When his parents returned home to search for him,

03:18they witnessed a scene that left them utterly shocked.
