Although many kind-hearted people offered to help the family since the death of their father, they politely declined because they thought their father would not like to see them living on other people's kindness.

"When father was alive, we did not make him feel proud. Now he has passed away, we will try to live a decent life and let him rest in peace," said Lulu.

But doing business is not easy, especially for disabled people. During the first few months after opening their business, not a single product had been sold, which caused Lulu anxiety. To comfort her sister, Xiaolu would use her chin to rub her head.

Thanks to their patience and sincerity, more and more customers bought products from their platform. The twins could finally provide for the family, even with some difficulty.

People who knew the twin sisters might wonder why they always smile considering all the hardships they have faced in life.

Lulu said that when she and her younger sister were children, they often realized people stared at them in a strange way. For a period of time, she did not dare to look into other people's eyes. She asked her mother what made them different?

Her mother told her that they were just like other children except that they were not as healthy, and that there were more good people in the world and not everyone looked at them with malice. The mother also said that as long as they were mentally healthy, they were no different from normal people.

With encouragement from her mother, Lulu overcame the mental obstacle, and started smiling and nodding at people. And she found it worked: people were more likely to talk with her and look at her with kindness.

Despite the difficulties she met, Lulu said the family can now live on their own and she hoped, through their efforts, the twins could make their mother live a better life.
