For this family, how to make Yi Yi recover better and grow up healthier is the most important thing. The main focus now is on Yi Yi's future, not on the past.
Despite being surrounded by immense care and attention, Yu Yu Xiang hopes that Yi Yi can live a normal life without disturbance, peaceful and quiet. He has never been so concerned about his little niece, even neglecting his pregnant wife. Little Yi Yi represents the continuation of her brother's life.
Thinking about the child soon to be born, Yu Yu Xiang feels a sense of happiness. He asked Little Yi Yi to name the baby, and she said "Ha Ha," because she likes drinking "Ha Ha" (which means milk powder).
The compensation for Yu An Xiang's family has been settled, with each person receiving 915,000 yuan, the same as other victims.
"To be honest, I don't want anyone to disturb the peace of my family," said Yi Yi's uncle, Yu Yu Xiang.
Sadness seems to be gradually fading away. The wounds on her legs are slowly healing, and smiles frequently appear on Little Yi Yi's face.
Little Yi Yi has already seen many images that she cannot yet understand. Psychologically speaking, those violent images may never resurface in her mind, but the emotions left by these images are almost permanent. This is why experiences during childhood are so crucial.
"Avoidance will eventually lead to confrontation," Yu Yu Xiang can only hope for the passage of time and the treatment of a psychologist.
When his brother was alive, the two would sometimes joke around. "One time he suddenly sent me a text message saying he couldn't teach anymore. I was shocked, thinking something had happened to him, so I quickly called him. He laughed heartily and said he was going to be transferred to the Education Bureau."
Now, he tries not to recall those moments, and he does not wish for the media to contact Yi Yi or her parents, in order to avoid triggering those memories.
A new life is about to be born.

However, every time someone visits Yi Yi at the hospital, her grandmother can't help but wipe away tears, "This child is too pitiful, this child is too pitiful."
In recent days, Yu Yu Xiang has not been in Shanghai with Yi Yi, as his wife's due date is approaching.
Yu Yu Xiang has been eagerly awaiting the results of the investigation into the "7・23" Wenzhou train accident. Two months ago, he still expressed on Weibo, "So far, I am willing to trust this investigation team," hoping that "the results will reflect a responsible attitude towards all the people of the country."
"Child well, then it's good!"
Every member of this family wishes they could bear the pain alone, not wanting to be disturbed, even by well-meaning concern, which touches their fragile nerves.
Yi Yi's current medical expenses are covered by the Ministry of Railways, as the treatment has not yet ended, both sides have not yet discussed compensation issues.
Perhaps this year's New Year's Eve dinner will leave two sets of chopsticks and bowls empty, waiting for the elder son and his wife. They worry that Yi Yi will cry out looking for her parents, and then use reasons like "Daddy and Mommy haven't finished work" to comfort her, which might not work much longer.
"Child, Daddy and Mommy haven't finished work"
After the accident, Yu Yu Xiang devoted most of his energy to Yi Yi, sometimes feeling guilty towards his wife, "She has no complaints, many mornings, she buys groceries, cooks meals, and delivers them while heavily pregnant."
"We will only become more rational with the passage of time, and look at problems more deeply," said Yu Yu Xiang.
"Daddy and Mommy haven't finished work yet." Grandpa and Grandma smile at their granddaughter and try every possible way to divert her attention, making her happy.
December 23rd marks exactly five months since that disaster.
What kind of future awaits the "miracle girl" from that accident, Yi Yi, is what kind of future we promise ourselves.
Yi Yi's injuries have healed, and she is undergoing rehabilitation training. Now, she is already a three-year-old little girl. On the 21st, when our reporter met Yi Yi at a hospital in Shanghai, she was already able to walk independently. In a few more days, her grandparents plan to take her back home for the New Year.
"She is not a star... She is just a child, a pitiable child." Yu Yu Xiang wrote this on Weibo on November 21st.
He started having insomnia, sometimes not sleeping until three or four in the morning, "My brain keeps running, thinking this and that, considering this and that. Grievances can only be suppressed in my heart, afraid the elderly will worry, afraid the pregnant woman will worry, but I don't feel tired, I can't let myself idle, not doing well always makes me feel sorry for everyone! Once such thoughts start, it feels like an emotional eruption. Well! Child well, then it's good! Everything is worth it."
November 22nd was Yu An Xiang's birthday, and Yu Yu Xiang posted a Weibo, "Today is my brother's birthday. Can't think of any blessings, only hope Yi Yi gets better! She is progressing quite well, you rest assured!"
"Personality big despite being small, little treasure, when will you grow up and understand?" This was the last Weibo post by Yi Yi's mother before her passing. But when Yi Yi really grows up, how will he explain all this to her?
Previously, the Spring Festival was the happiest time of the year for the elderly couple. Both sons, their wives, and the granddaughter would return home. The wife and the two daughters-in-law cooked in the kitchen, while the three men enjoyed a drink together.
Every time they returned to the 70+ square meter home in Wenzhou, the elderly couple would put away the photos of their son and daughter-in-law, but any familiar object would make Yi Yi want to find her parents.
Yi Yi is still young, and it's easy to cheer her up with some excuses, but what about when she grows older? This is the issue Yu Yu Xiang worries about the most, "Although Little Yi Yi has always seemed quite open-minded, deep-seated psychological problems are beyond our understanding."
"We will only become more rational with the passage of time, and look at problems more deeply."

"Don't talk to her, once you do, all the sad things come up again." Yi Yi's grandfather tries to pull his wife out of painful memories, but finds himself unable to resist sinking back into them, "My son was so ambitious, taught for eight years, just got transferred to the District Education Bureau. My daughter-in-law was also very excellent and filial..."
