The girl was just picking out nail polish, but the supermarket manager suspected her of stealing. The store manager dragged her hand to the office, wanting to deal with the matter privately with the girl. However, a few minutes later, the girl suddenly ran out of the office and quickly escaped from the supermarket. The store manager chased after him, and the two began a fierce chase on the street. They ran for a long time, and just as the store manager was about to catch up, the girl who was panicked had an accident.

In the police station, the girl's father, Ah Chong, rushed over to claim the body, and his daughter Xiaohua was destroyed beyond recognition by the wheel. His ex-wife, who had remarried, also rushed over, but Ah Chong stopped his ex-wife and didn't let her see her daughter. The couple no longer had any feelings, but the sudden departure of their 14-year-old daughter became a common pain in their hearts.

After the accident, the police interrogated the two drivers who hit people, and the female driver of the small car was full of self-blame and horror, he felt that he had killed a little girl, and the driver of the big truck tried his best to justify that it was a fast lane, and it was difficult for him to stop the car.

This incident caused a sensation at the time, and TV stations and media began to spare no effort to report whether it was the female who stole nail polish or the fierce pursuit of the supermarket manager, and the fault was even greater. The media did not give answers, but threw out questions for the audience to argue, these media don't care what the truth is, they only care about the traffic and heat brought by this matter.

And the person who was in the whirlpool of public opinion could only suspend the supermarket and hide at home.

A few days later, Ah Chong held a funeral for his daughter Xiaohua. The store manager came to the funeral scene to apologize to Ah Chong, and he admitted that he shouldn't have chased Xiaoxiaohua at that time. But the store manager also has a problem, because the supermarket has been frequently burglarized recently, and the thieves are basically middle school students in the neighborhood. The store manager said that Xiaohua did steal something, and on the day of the incident, he found nail polish in Xiaohua's bag.

The store manager expressed himself very sincerely and tactfully. Ah Chong couldn't accept this argument, because the surveillance did not capture Xiaohua stealing things, and there was no second witness at the scene, and in his impression, Xiaohua was a child who never wore makeup.

Ah Chong didn't believe the store manager's words, he felt that the store manager must have done something to Xiaohua in the office, and the store manager must have framed the thief in Huayin in order to cover up his crime.

The more Ah Chong thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was emotional, he grabbed the store manager's clothes, and this scene was filmed by a reporter who had been waiting for a long time, and the media carried out follow-up reports, which set off a wider controversy.

From the initial expression of their opinions, the spectators slowly evolved into actual actions against the parties. The spectators who support the store manager are plastered with notes in front of Ah Chong's house, accusing Ah Chong of cultivating a thief, and the spectators who support Xiaohua are wantonly graffiti in front of the supermarket, and insulting the staff is a pervert who violates Lori.

In order to find out the truth about Xiaohua's death, Ah Chong went to school afterwards. He said that Xiaohua never wore makeup, that he must have been bullied at school, and that someone else must have forced her to steal makeup.

Ah Chong asks the school to investigate the matter, otherwise he will continue to make trouble at school.

After Ah Chong left, Xiaohua's homeroom teacher wanted to investigate, but the principal refused without hesitation, and the principal said: "Then what if she is really bullied?" Can you be honest with her dad? ”

In order to continue to gain traffic and popularity, the media began to squat day and night in front of Ah Chong's house, and reporters deliberately asked some mean questions to deliberately provoke the father, who had just lost his daughter.

"Has your daughter stolen before?"

Ah Chong was angered by the success, and the incident began to continue to ferment, and he became a breaking news in the eyes of these media.

Affected by this incident, no one wanted to come to the store manager's supermarket to buy something. In order to keep the supermarket open normally, the store manager appeared for the first time to be interviewed, he kept apologizing in front of the camera, saying that he shouldn't chase a little girl fiercely, and then he tactfully hinted that Xiaohua did steal the supermarket's cosmetics, and the store manager wanted to use this interview to wash away the infamy of perverts, but things did not go in the direction he expected.

The media deleted the scene of him apologizing, and only showed clips of him hinting at Xiaohua's thief.

Under the malicious editing of the media, he has become a wicked person who has made mistakes and is unrepentant. With the frequent coverage on TV, this matter has been paid more and more attention.

The ex-wife asked Ah Chong not to make any more trouble, and told a secret about Xiaohua, in fact, Xiaohua has been putting on makeup, but Ah Chong, who is a father, doesn't know.

Ah Chong had no idea how introverted and inferior his daughter Xiaohua was at school. Xiaohua is always alone at school, and she doesn't have any friends around her. Ah Chong, a fisherman by profession, owns a fishing boat of his own and has been doing fishing work for decades.

But after his ex-wife divorced, Xiaohua was sentenced to Ah Chong, but Ah Chong did not focus on his daughter. Ah Chong lives only on fishing boats and business, and often goes out to fish, not returning home for several days.

In normal times, he is strict and indifferent to Xiaohua, Xiaohua is often so nervous at home that he doesn't dare to gasp, in front of him, Xiaohua always speaks in a very small voice, but he only thinks that this is Xiaohua's innate character. The night before the car accident, Xiaohua's mobile phone suddenly rang with a ringtone, he asked Xiaohua to hand over the phone, and then began to accuse his ex-wife: "Hey, who told you to take matters into your own hands and buy a mobile phone for your daughter?" She was only a junior high school student. After saying that, he threw his phone downstairs from the window, leaving only one sentence: "You don't need this thing yet." "I didn't even give Xiaohua a chance to explain.

Of course, Ah Chong didn't know that Xiaohua secretly went downstairs to pick up the mobile phone that night, and the screen of the new mobile phone was thrown out of many cracks, and these cracks also grew wantonly in Xiaohua's heart.

The ex-wife said that Xiaohua might have really stolen cosmetics, but the stubborn Ah Chong didn't believe it at all, he still thought that Huayin didn't have the habit of makeup, and he was still sure that Huayin must have been forced by someone.

The next day, Ah Chong met the female driver who knocked down Xiaohua at the door of his house, and the female driver, accompanied by her mother, came to her to apologize, hoping to get his forgiveness.

The other party was crying and expressing guilt, as if he had not yet come out of the shadow of the collision. However, Ah Chong did not accept the apology, but rudely told them to get out.

He came to the school to continue the investigation, asking the principal to find out the person who bullied Xiaohua as soon as possible. The headmaster was tired of his pestering, and in order to get rid of him, the headmaster made up a lie, I heard a female student say that her sister had been harassed by the store manager, and the headmaster suggested that there was something wrong with the store manager, and her hint had an effect.

After listening to the principal's words, Ah Chong's anger shifted from the school to the staff, he began to frequently go to the supermarket to make trouble, deliberately put nail polish in a plastic bag in front of the clerk, the store manager came to stop it, Ah Chong shouted: "The child stealing things can be solved in public, why do you call Xiaohua to the office?" ”

He suspected that the store manager was plotting against Xiaohua at that time, which may be the truth of Xiaohua's death.

In order to force the store manager to tell the truth, Ah Chong began to follow and pestered the store manager for a long time. When the supermarket was open, he stood outside and watched quietly. When the store manager goes to eat after work, he will deliberately sit next to the store manager, and when the store manager comes home at night, he will follow him silently. And under his entanglement, the store manager's nerves became more and more tense, and there were girls stealing from his supermarket, even if he saw it, he didn't dare to stop it.

Ah Chong's entanglement lasted for a long time, and finally on this night, the store manager knelt in front of him, and the guilt-filled store manager begged for his forgiveness, and he just wanted to find out if the store manager had violated Xiaohua.

After that, Ah Chong took the store manager to the location of the car accident, and he asked the store manager to repeat what had happened at that time. Ah Chong kept narrating Xiaohua's tragic situation, and he tried to break the heart of the person and force the other party to tell the truth. Finally, under his persecution, the store manager's inner self-blame and guilt reached its peak, so when a truck came speeding up, the store manager did not make any dodging movements, wanting to apologize with death.

Ah Chong said: "If you want to die, others will cause trouble, and you will die alone." ”

On this day, Ah Chong was about to rush to the store manager's supermarket as usual, and the female driver found him again. This time, the female driver came alone to apologize, but Ah Chong still rudely rejected him.

Ah Chong would not have expected that the kind-hearted female driver had fallen into a hell full of guilt, and on the other side, the store manager chose to end his life in the supermarket, his world could no longer see the light, and the only way to escape this world seemed to be death.

Fortunately, the supermarket staff found out in time and pulled him back from the brink of hell.

However, in the middle of the night, Ah Chong still received the news that someone had committed suicide, and the female driver had also committed suicide, she could no longer live with a sense of guilt, and the female driver's mother, like Ah Chong at the beginning, could only cry helplessly in front of her daughter's body.

After this incident, Ah Chong went to the funeral of the female driver, he thought that the female driver's mother would blame him, and he was ready to meet the anger of the other party.

Ah Chong said, "No matter what you say, I won't apologize." ”

The female driver's mother said, "Really, I'm very sorry. My daughter hit someone, but she used this way to evade responsibility. From now on, the responsibility will be borne by me. My daughter is a fragile child, an irresponsible child. However, she is also a kind and gentle child. I can deeply understand the sadness and pain of your loss of Xiaohua. I don't want to alleviate my daughter's guilt, but please forgive my daughter. ”

Kind people are always too themselves, and mean people are always inflicting pain on others, Ah Chong saw himself in this mother, and at this moment, his heart suddenly welled up with shame.

After that, Ah Chong stopped pestering the store manager and did not continue to investigate the truth of Xiaohua's death. He begins to sort out Xiaohua's relics, and in a rag doll, he finds the cosmetics that Xiaohua has hidden.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that Xiaohua had been putting on makeup, but he had always been indifferent and did not find out in time, and he was always arrogant and he didn't want to believe it. After that, he went to look through Xiaohua's photo album, but found that Xiaohua's face was all covered by black pen scribbles, and he called his ex-wife, who told him that Xiaohua had painted it herself. Obviously, Xiaohua had a psychological problem before her death, but Ah Chong, who lived with Xiaohua, didn't know anything about it.

One day half a year later, it was Xiaohua's birthday, and Ah Chong and his ex-wife went to worship Xiaohua, and they were joined by Ah Chong's assistant on the fishing boat. After the worship, they went to eat together, and the television was broadcasting unnutritious entertainment news. Half a year ago, everyone knew about Xiaohua's incident, but now the incident is as if it never happened, whether it is the media or the audience, it seems that they no longer care about the truth and result of that incident.

His ex-wife was ten months pregnant, and he named the child Minghua because he wanted to commemorate his dead daughter. Perhaps because of her personality, after hearing her ex-wife's words, Ah Chong habitually sneered at her ex-wife, she ridiculed her ex-wife's husband for being a low-level worker, and ridiculed her ex-wife for naming her children like cats and dogs.

After hearing this, the ex-wife got up angrily, but before the ex-wife left, Ah Yan stopped her, crying and said: "I was wrong just now, I was actually envious of you, please let that child, Minghua, please let her grow up happily." ”

This is the first time Ah Chong has apologized to his ex-wife, and it is also the first step he has taken to try to change himself. He may have realized that his personality would inadvertently hurt others, but now it seemed too late for him to wake up.

On this day, when Ah Chong came home from work, he met the store manager on the road who he hadn't seen for a long time. Today, the store manager's supermarket has closed down, and in order to make ends meet, the store manager has become a road maintenance worker. When chatting with the store manager, Ah Chong's attitude became much kinder, he no longer held grudges, and also said that he felt guilty about the store manager.

Ah Chong is slowly getting rid of the pain of the past, while the store manager is trapped in the past and has not come out. When people saw the doll with flowers hanging on Ah Chong's bag, he once again habitually knelt down to apologize to Ah Chong.

There are many kinds of people in the world, some people will bring pain to others, and there will also be people who bring warmth to others. One day after that, the store manager was eating a boxed lunch on the side of the road when a passing man recognized her. The man said that he used to go to people's supermarkets to buy things, and after the supermarket closed, she was sad for a while.

At the end of the story, Xiaohua's homeroom teacher sent Xiaohua's posthumous curtain left at school, which was a painting of Huayin in art class. Ah Chong looked at them one by one, until he saw the last one, he was stunned. This painting is a blue sky, white clouds and the sea, and there is Ah Chong's fishing boat floating on the sea.

At this time, Ah Chong realized that his daughter, who was very mediocre in his eyes, could actually paint such a beautiful picture. He also suddenly realized that Xiaohua had been secretly loving him, and he had been hoping to get his father's love. He could have been a happy father, and he could have had a well-behaved and sensible daughter. It's just that memories can be retraced, but time cannot be turned back. In the past, he still left his daughter with only a barrenness full of depression and suffocation. There is no father's love for his daughter in that barrenness, only the endless blank.
