Xie Jingyang, now looking back on the hardships of those years, feels grateful for the sacrifices the Third Brother made for the whole Xie family.
Actions speak louder than words.
At that time, Dad was constantly in meetings at the team site, becoming as thin as a rake, yet unable to leave. The eldest brother was useless, preoccupied with helping his wife whenever he had free time, forgetting that Mom had just given birth to a little sister and was suffering from postnatal complications.
Fourth brother Xie Jinggang, though three years older than Xie Jingyang, could only simply follow behind his second sister, helping to forage for wild greens, chop firewood, do laundry, and at other times, mostly just crying to Dad and Mom for food.
Everyone was starving. That feeling, he would never forget in his lifetime.
Therefore, the person he admires most in his heart is only the Third Brother, Xie Jingchen, who has always been wholly devoted to the family.
