The 38-year-old leftover girl couldn't help crying: It's not that I don't want to get married, but that no one really wants to marry me
In the bustling city, everyone is running for life and looking for their own happiness.
For 38-year-old Xiaoyan, her happiness always seems out of reach.
At this age, she is no longer the innocent girl, but a modern woman who is comfortable and independent in the workplace.
It was like this that she fell into deep loneliness and helplessness.
Xiaoyan's blind date experience can be described as repeated defeats.
She had sat in the corner of the café countless times, facing unfamiliar faces, trying to find the partner with whom she could spend her life in a short conversation.
However, whenever she walked into the blind date place with great expectations, she was always disappointed.
Some people dislike her for being too old, while others feel that she is too busy with her work to give them the life they want.
In these indifferent gazes, Xiaoyan gradually lost confidence, and she began to wonder if she could really find the right person.
Just when she was about to give up, Mingyu appeared.
Mingyu is a young man he met in Xiaoyan's company's team building activities, he is sunny and enthusiastic, which makes Xiaoyan feel a trace of warmth after busy work.
The two quickly became acquainted and shared each other's lives and dreams.
In the company of Mingyu, Xiaoyan seems to have found the self who was once full of longing for love.
When the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, Mingyu's parents stood up against it.
They think that Xiaoyan is too old, and being with Mingyu will affect his future.
Although Mingyu loves Xiaoyan deeply, he seems to have nothing to do under the pressure of his parents.
Looking at Mingyu's painful appearance, Xiaoyan's heart was like a knife.
She didn't want to be a stumbling block to his happiness, and she didn't want him to sacrifice too much for herself.
So, she decided to let go and let Mingyu pursue his own happiness.
Letting go doesn't mean giving up.
Xiaoyan knows that she can't give up the pursuit of love because of a failure.
She began to work harder, trying to improve her abilities and charisma.
She participated in various social events and met more like-minded friends.
Among these friends, she found many people who supported and encouraged her.
They told Xiaoyan that age is not a measure of a person's worth, and everyone has the right to pursue happiness.
With the encouragement of her friends, Xiaoyan gradually stepped out of the shadows and regained her strength.
Instead of deliberately looking for the right person, she began to enjoy every moment in her life.
She learned how to get along with herself and how to face life's challenges independently.
In the process, she became more mature and confident.
Just when Xiaoyan thought that her love life was completely hopeless, fate gave her an unexpected surprise.
By chance, she met a man who had also experienced emotional setbacks.
They appreciate and support each other, and find resonance with each other in mutual understanding and tolerance.
This man did not have any prejudice and discrimination against Xiaoyan because of her age, on the contrary, he cherished and respected her more.
In the company of each other, Xiaoyan finally found her own happiness.
Today's Xiaoyan is no longer the woman who is troubled by blind dates and age problems.
She uses her own experiences and stories to tell us that age is not the only measure of a person's happiness.
Everyone has the right and ability to pursue happiness.
As long as we bravely face the difficulties and challenges in our hearts and realities, we will definitely be able to find our own happiness.
