English Original
Our capacity to endure hardship often surpasses our imagination, yet we only discover this inner strength in critical moments.
During the Japanese invasion, a woman from the countryside was forced to flee with her three young children at age 26. Witnessing fellow villagers succumb to despair, she would comfort them, saying, "Don't do anything foolish. There is no setback we cannot overcome. The invaders will be defeated one day!"
She persevered until the war's end, only to lose her eldest son to illness. Her husband, devastated, refused to eat or drink. Through tears, she urged him, "Our fate is hard, but we must persist. We can have another child. There is no setback we cannot overcome."
After bearing a second son, her husband died of edema. Heartbroken, she eventually gathered her strength, embraced her children, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, my darlings. You still have me."
Through painstaking effort, she raised her children alone. As their lives improved and all were married, she would tell everyone, "See? I was right. There is no setback we cannot overcome!"
In her old age, while caring for her grandson, she broke her leg. Too frail for surgery, she was confined to bed. Her children wept, but she calmly asked, "Why cry? I'm still alive."
Bedridden, she never complained. She took up sewing, learned weaving and embroidery, and her skill became renowned in the neighborhood.
She lived to be 86. Her final words to her children were: "Live your lives to the fullest. Remember, there is no setback we cannot overcome."
True resilience is forged in adversity. Therefore, no matter your current struggles, do not dwell on life's unfairness or remain disheartened. Every setback can be overcome. Defeat comes only to those who lack the confidence and courage to persevere.

我们的承受能力常常超乎自己的想象,但只有在关键时刻,我们才会发现这种内在的力量。
日军侵华期间,一位乡村妇女在26岁时被迫带着三个年幼的孩子逃亡。目睹同村人陷入绝望想要轻生,她总会去安慰他们:“别做傻事。没有过不去的坎儿。侵略者总有一天会被打败!”
她坚持到了战争结束,却失去了长子。她的丈夫悲痛欲绝,不吃不喝。她流着泪劝他:“我们的命苦,但必须坚持下去。我们还能再有孩子。没有过不去的坎儿。”
生下第二个儿子后,丈夫因水肿去世。心碎的她最终振作起来,搂着孩子们轻声说:“别怕,宝贝们。你们还有妈妈。”
凭借艰辛的努力,她独自将孩子们抚养成人。随着生活改善,孩子们都成了家,她逢人便说:“看,我说得对吧?没有过不去的坎儿!我现在多幸福啊!”
年老时,她在照顾孙子时不慎摔断了腿。因年事已高手术风险大,她只能卧床休养。子女们痛哭,她却平静地问:“哭什么?我还活着呢。”
卧床期间,她毫无怨言。她重拾针线,学会了编织和刺绣,手艺在邻里间赢得了赞誉。
她活到了86岁。临终前对子女们说:“你们都要好好生活。记住,没有过不去的坎儿。”
真正的韧性在逆境中炼成。因此,无论你正经历何种困难,都不要一味抱怨命运不公或终日消沉。任何坎坷都能跨越。最终被击败的,只是那些缺乏信心和勇气去坚持的人。
