Half past, half present

She was amazingly beautiful, but a fire made her frighteningly ugly. Her face, half past, half present. She was frightened and desperate, but at last she was full of hope.

As soon as the gauze was removed, Gui raised her hand and gently stroked every inch of her face. When she touched the smooth right face, she happily thought that she was lucky to keep her beautiful face. But when she touched the uneven left face, she was badly hit. She hurriedly took a mirror and looked at herself half beautiful and half ugly. She broke the mirror sadly, not knowing how to face the rest of her life.

Accustomed to the friendliness and praise of others, it was difficult for Gui to accept the disgust and ridicule of her at first. The fire destroyed not only her beauty, but also her happiness and future. She did not blame her boyfriend, who had vowed to her before, for breaking up quickly after seeing her injured face. after all, even she could not accept such an ugly self, how could she ask others to treat her as before?

Gui once wanted to improve the scar on her left face through cosmetic surgery, at least to make herself look less scary. But just to bear the loss caused by the fire has used up most of her savings, she has to keep the rest of the money to live, there is no extra money for surgery. Now that she lost her parents in her childhood, and now she has lost love, she is alone, and she doesn't even have a job. She can't imagine what life will be like in the future.

Half past, half present

Gui also wanted to end this life and get rid of the pain and helplessness. However, when she cut her wrists and felt the passage of life bit by bit, she recalled the scenes of the past, some happy, some difficult, some happy and some sad. Finally, memories stand still in the raging flames. Suddenly, she bandaged herself with the only strength she had left. Fortunately, the wound is not very deep, but also can give her a chance to regret.

Gui stood in front of the mirror again, and this time she looked at herself in the mirror very carefully. At first, her face was expressionless, and gradually, she smiled with relief. She figured out that since she had been able to walk through so many difficulties alone, she would be just as strong even if the difficulties this time were more difficult than before. In the future, she will take this half of the past and half of the present to start a new life. It may be difficult at first, but she is sure she can do it.

As Gui expected, the tests came to her one after another. She has no one to rely on and can only overcome it on her own. From being afraid of other people's eyes at first and unwilling to mention the accident, Gui was able to calmly face other people's eyes of ridicule or sympathy, and calmly narrated her mental journey to others. Encourage others who have also suffered setbacks with their own experiences. Gradually, people around her can treat her fairly, admire her strength and praise her bravery.

When Gui walked out of the trough of her life, she was able to face her face calmly. In her eyes, there is no difference between beauty and ugliness, only the past and the present. Half past, half present, half pursuit of beauty, half acceptance of cruelty. Isn't life such a cyclical process? We need to pursue a better future hopefully, and we also need to slowly and calmly accept the cruel past.
