She grew up in a blue-collar family, and her father was a sawmill worker without much education. After she graduated from college and became a writer, she visited, for the first time, her father's workplace. The noisy factory had sawdust everywhere, and her father was already getting old but was still doing heavy work in such a harsh environment.

Seeing her burst of sadness, her father brought her to his seat. On a small table in the corner, there was a picture frame. With sawdust above blown appeared a familiar faded photo of a sweet little smiling girl, which turned out to be her childhood photo. Her father looked at her, giggled, "In the past three decades, whenever I felt tired, I came here to have a look at it, to tell myself that all the hard work is worthwhile."

她出生在一个蓝领家庭，父亲没有受过多少教育，一辈子当锯木工厂的工人。直到她大学毕业成为作家，才第一次有机会到她爸爸的工厂参观。工厂里噪音隆隆，木屑尘埃四起，她爸爸已经有点老迈，还在这恶劣的环境里做著粗重的工作。

看得她一阵心酸，她爸爸却领她到他的座位。小桌子的角落有一个相框，吹开上面的木屑尘埃，泛黄的照片里一个熟悉的小女孩甜美的笑着，竟然是自己童年的照片。爸爸看著她傻笑∶“三十年来，每当我累了，来这里看看，就知道一切辛苦都是值得的。”
