A Woman at Forty

"Forty is a flower for women!" People occasionally say this to middle-aged women. I don't know whether women in the past appreciated hearing this or not, but when I reached this age and heard others "praise" me like this, I felt that there must be something wrong with my behavior or clothing. But after thinking carefully, I realized why not! Women at 40 have heavy burdens on their shoulders. They often need to help their husbands who are deeply troubled by crises, running around every day without time for housework; take care of their children who are suffocated by high school entrance exams and college entrance exams; attend to their aging parents who need care; if they have achieved some success in their careers, they also need to face fierce competition from many rivals. The burden gets heavier day by day, but their bodies and minds are not as vigorous as they were in their youth. Metals can also get fatigued, but they cannot afford to be tired, and they don’t even have time to say they're tired. They are the natural support for their husbands, children, and elderly parents. People say that women at 40 are very charming. Most of the women of my age around me usually go straight to the kitchen once they get home, letting their hair and glasses be meticulously "conditioned" under the range hood. Their hair often gives off a faint smell of fried fish or green onions, which reminds one of the decorative flowers carved out of radishes on the dining table... Women at 40 generally possess a sense of confidence in spirit and psychology, making them rich in life - the hardships of life have forged a strong, undying heart that dares to constantly break through mental limitations to change their living conditions! They are no longer little girls who feel wronged and seek comfort from their mothers when people gossip behind their backs; they are no longer princesses who consider themselves superior and aloof, feeling that life is full of hypocrisy, helplessness, and vulgarity; they are no longer housewives whose beliefs sway like paper, obediently submitting to any manipulation. Based on reason yet not losing romance, kindness, self-respect, and dignity, their smiles contain much more tolerance, and they even begin to show benevolence. Women at 40 are generally not easy to provoke. They often fiercely defend their dignity or interests like female tigers. If they fall in love with something, it's like an old house catching fire...
