The notebook read:
"September 1, 1976, Sunny.
Today is the first day of the new school year, and also the day I welcome new students.
Not far from home, I heard a baby crying. I followed the sound and saw a new basket by the side of the road with a little baby in it.
The child is still very small, looks like he's just a month old.
The baby is crying, his little face is red, and it breaks my heart to see. I looked around but couldn't find the child's parents. However, I found a note in the basket. The note recorded the baby's birthday, he was born on the fifth of July, 1976.
In addition to the baby's birth date, the note also left a message.
'I had a child out of wedlock, the father of the child is unknown, and as a result, I have become a woman despised by those around me.
My family is ashamed because I had a child before marriage, and my father has more than once asked me to leave home with the child. I want to leave and find the child's father, but the child's father is like he has never appeared in this world, he disappeared without a trace.
I can't find the child's father. I can't afford to raise my child. I can't bear the accusations of those around me. I can't accept them calling me a whore. I can't accept them saying my child is a shameful bastard. I can't accept all of this.
