Sun Xuelian in Meijiazhuang Village of Wenquan Street of Jimo is 42 years old now. She came to this village when she married at the age of 26 and runs a carbonado stall with her husband, who died a day before Mid Autumn Festival of 2010 because of heart disease and left his nearly 70-year-old parents, 10-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter to Sun.

    Since then Sun has shouldered two heavy responsibilities: family and business. She got her driving license at the fastest speed. One or two every early morning she goes out and drives to the Chengyang District nearby to purchase materials, then comes back home to unload materials and process it, and place goods for sale before seven, and she usually eats after one in the afternoon, then she will do household affairs. The business performed well as before thanks to her efforts.

    Many people introduce their boyfriend to Sun after her husband passed away. However, the story ends after she met with them. That’s because she has an unchangeable requirement: If someone wants to marry her, he must come to her home and take care of her mother-in-law and father-in-law together with her, if he cannot do that, she will not take him into consideration. Both her mother-in-law and father-in-law were deeply touched after they knew this.

    Her father-in-law was diagnosed as throat cancer in the fall of 2014; Sun has spent over CNY 50,000 on treatment. The patient needs to receive chemotherapy one month after leaving the hospital, Sun goes to the bazaar to do business every morning, and goes to the hospital with him, and life went on like this for over half a year.

    Sun turns to be stronger with the sharpening of life. Now Sun sells seafood, which allows more private time, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are getting better, and her children are also very clever and obedient.
