Anyone who lives in the Imperial Garden Community can fish here for free.
Mai Xiaomai found her dad at the spot where he often fished.
Dad Mai wore a big straw hat, a short-sleeved shirt, and shorts. He sat on a small stool, talking to Uncle Li beside him, occasionally glancing at the fishing rod to see if a fish had taken the bait.
Seeing her dad's face, which had started to show signs of aging, a thin mist of tears welled up in Mai Xiaomai's eyes.
Because her plane went missing, her dad worried about her for more than half a year, causing him to age rapidly, with much more gray hair now.
Now that she's back, his gaunt face has gradually become fuller and more radiant.
From the day she was born until now, her dad truly worried tirelessly for her.
She recalled the day of her wedding when her dad had walked her down the aisle to Qiao Chutian.
She is his precious daughter, the apple of his eye whom he has cherished dearly.
