The program "Metamorphosis" has been controversial since its launch.

For the urban protagonist, living in a poor area for 30 days will get rid of all his bad habits.

For rural protagonists, they have seen the prosperity of the city, can they still stay in the countryside? Can life get better?

As one of the rural protagonists, Li Leyou changed his situation through the program.

After that program ended, urban mothers continued to raise Li Leyou and take care of her life and studies.

Cui Jin and his mother treat her as their own. They are not related by blood, but it is better than being related by blood. She is a lucky rural girl.

Li Leyou was born in Zhonghu Village, Jiache Township, Honghe County, Yunnan Province in 2003. He is a member of the Hani ethnic minority.

When she was half a year old, her mother passed away, and then her father was imprisoned. She was raised by her grandparents, and she also had a sister-in-law at home.

At the age of 4, Li Leyou began to have thoughts and found that he was different from the children of the same age around him.

She often asks her grandparents: Where are my parents? Grandma said with tears in her eyes: "My parents have gone out to work."

Since Li Leyou’s father was imprisoned, his grandparents’ health has not been as good as before, but in order to support their granddaughter, they will do some odd jobs to earn living expenses.

She just does housework at home, cooks, and waits for her grandparents to come home. Sometimes her grandparents come back late, so she can only go to bed first. Due to lack of security and fear, she can only fall asleep with the light on.

The grandparents earned enough money to cover the family’s expenses. They had no extra money to buy clothes for their granddaughter, and it took three years to mend one piece of clothing.

When she was in elementary school, Li Leyou had to walk two hours to get to school, so her grandparents spent huge sums of money to let her board.

But she had no friends at school, and was even bullied by her classmates. She was called "the child of a reform-through-labor prisoner, and her mother ran away." She gradually became low-self-esteem, introverted and quiet.

After returning home, she asked her grandparents where her parents had gone. Her grandparents told her everything.

She couldn't accept it. She searched the whole house but couldn't find any trace of her parents, so she hid in bed and cried.

Li Leyou longs for fatherly and motherly love, and she also wants the living conditions of her classmates.

She was depressed, taciturn and listless all day long. She often cried secretly, which made her grandparents very distressed.

Grandpa’s sister lived in the city, so he discussed with her whether he could bring Li Leyou to live in the city.

My sister also felt sorry for her brother, so she agreed.

Li Leyou came to the city by car and was confused. She was dazzled by the tall buildings and she was afraid of bumping or slipping while walking.

Even though her aunt asked her to live here with peace of mind, she was still cautious. I dare not go out or talk to others.

After living there for a week, she told her aunt that she wanted to go back to her hometown. The aunt sent her back.

After returning, Li Leyou could not forget the prosperity of the city. One day she would change the status quo and dream of living in the city.

So, she pinned her hopes on learning.

As time goes by, the grandparents gradually grow old, and the young Li Leyou becomes the backbone of the family.

In front of her grandparents, she acts like a strong little adult, but behind her back she secretly sheds tears, often imagining what it would be like to have parents.

At the end of 2014, a group of outsiders suddenly came to the village, intending to find a rural protagonist in the village.

Visiting door to door, no suitable candidate was found until he saw a girl dressed in rags.

The staff came up to ask about her situation. They were very satisfied with the little girl and asked what her name was. Li Leyou.

The director told her: He is here to help you. Do you long for maternal love?

Li Leyou blurted out without even thinking: Of course, if there is such an opportunity, I must seize it.

Later, Li Leyou led the staff to his home.

The director patiently explained to his grandparents what he was doing, that he was here to help their family. When he heard that it was to help his granddaughter, the grandparents immediately agreed.

After consideration, the program team decided to let Li Leyou and Cui Jin exchange lives.

In early December, the program team took Li Leyou to Dalian to meet with urban mothers.

Before setting off, my grandparents gave me countless warnings, saying that I must be sensible and diligent in other people’s homes.

Li Ley nodded.

This was her first time flying and she was full of curiosity about the things around her. It takes several hours to get from Yunnan to Dalian, and she was very happy and excited along the way.

Wu Li’s mother, who is far away in Dalian, went to the airport early to wait for her daughter.

Wu Li is Cui Jin’s mother. Because of her business, her relationship with her husband faded, and she raised her children alone. Due to the lack of companionship, the child has a bad temper and wants to change the status quo and participate in the show.

Wu Li has always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately she and her husband got divorced. This time, she also told the program crew that it would be best to have a girl.

At the airport pick-up gate, Wu Li kept looking at the exit, looking longingly until her daughter from the countryside appeared.

She looked at a little girl wearing tattered clothes and sandals, staggering towards her, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Li Leyou was at a loss when he saw his mother in the city, and whispered: "Mom." Wu Li was very excited and quickly agreed, taking off her cotton-padded jacket and putting it on her body.

On the way home, chat with Li Leyou and ask about her situation. She said directly: I have no parents.

This sentence made Wu Li feel pity, and she decided to treat this little girl well during the 30 days they got together, treat her as her own, and treat her well throughout her life.

This is the first time Li Leyou has left her hometown. Facing the huge and prosperous city, she is a little timid and does not dare to touch new things. She is afraid that she will not understand and be laughed at and bullied.

Wu Li’s mother took her to learn about the city, bought her nice and warm clothes, bought her toys, and sent her to school.

I personally pick up Li Leyou from school every day. When she sees her mother, she will run over happily, and her mother will take her to eat delicious food.

Li Leyou, who came from the countryside, ate dry food all day long. When faced with a table of exquisite dishes, she had no idea what to start with and was reluctant to eat them just because they were too beautiful.

Wu Li's heart surged when she found out. From then on, she took her daughter to have a big meal whenever she had time.

Wu Li was afraid that she would not take good care of her, so she told Li Leyou: If you need anything, just tell her directly. Li Leyou said: I am very happy and contented to have a mother like you.

Sometimes, Wu Li would take Li Leyou to work in the company in order to increase her knowledge.

When a colleague saw this little girl, he asked her which relative’s child she was? She said: This is my daughter. Li Leyou felt warm in his heart when he heard these words.

Li Leyou had never seen the sea, so Wu Li took her to play at the beach and went skiing. They were as happy as if they were their own mother and daughter. The picture was very beautiful.

Time flies, and the 30th day is approaching in a blink of an eye. Before leaving, the teacher assigned Li Leyou a homework assignment "My Mom."

In class, she read out this composition and finally said, "I have a mother too. Mom, I love you." Wu Li, who was sitting in the back row, had runny nose and tears.

Wu Li hugged Li Leyou and said: I have determined that she is my daughter.

Wu Li and Li Leyou slept together for as many days as they lived, and they believed in their hearts that she was their daughter.

On the day of separation, Wu Li and Li Leyou were reluctant to separate, their eyes were red. She shouted "Mom", and Wu Li collapsed.

In 2015, after returning home, Li Leyou’s life was no different from before, except that the program team provided financial support and gave them 500 yuan in living expenses every month, so the pressure on the family was much less. .

The grandparents are old and have difficulty raising their granddaughter, so they hope she can find a good family.

Li Leyou was indeed attracted by a couple and took her back to live for a period of time. For various reasons, they sent her back to her hometown in Yunnan.

This incident was a huge blow to Li Leyou. The confidence she had built up disappeared in an instant. She thought of her mother who was far away in Dalian.

She called Wu Li's mother, but the other party didn't answer the call, and she felt panicked.

The next day, Li Leyou tried to call his mother again, and finally heard the voice on the other end of the phone. She said tremblingly: Mom, I miss you.

Wu Li couldn't hold herself back anymore, and the two chatted for more than an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Li decided to adopt Li Leyou and went to the local area to go through the procedures. She found that she was a single mother with a child and did not meet the requirements for adoption.

Wu Li did not give up. Although she could not adopt her, she still decided to take care of her. After all, the relationship between them does not need to be proven.

Whenever she has time, she goes to Yunnan to visit Li Leyou and buys her delicious food and toys. She is the envy of her classmates.

At first, when her classmates saw that Li Leyou's life was getting better, they all made friends with her and asked her about things in the city and what the plane was like.

Later, when her classmates saw that Li Leyou had a mobile phone and a doll, they became jealous. Why could she live in the city? Her classmates began to isolate her.

Wu Li learned about the situation and decided to take Li Leyou to live and study in Dalian. Due to language problems, the grandparents could not understand what Wu Li said. After she asked the Public Security Bureau to prove it, the grandparents felt relieved and allowed their granddaughter to accept a better life.

Since Wu Li could not go to Yunnan to pick up Li Leyou, she asked a friend to take her by plane.

Every step after leaving home, Li Leyou had to tell his mother in Dalian to reassure her.

Wu Li was still worried, and went to the airport early to wait for her daughter. The moment she saw her coming out, she felt relieved.

Li Leyou also quickly ran to his mother and hugged her.

Wu Li found the best school for Li Leyou so that she could study hard in school with peace of mind.

Since the learning curriculum is different in each region, it is difficult for Li Leyou to integrate into the school. He cannot understand what the teacher says in class and cannot keep up with the rhythm.

She was very distressed. Her academic performance had declined seriously. Wu Li had no other choice but to send her daughter back to her hometown to study.

Before leaving, she asked Li Leyou to study hard and told her that they would meet during the winter and summer vacations.

Wu Li knew that Li Leyou's family conditions were not good, so she took care of her daughter's living expenses, tuition fees, etc. to relieve the pressure on her grandparents, and told her children to just tell her if they had no money.

My brother Cui Jin is also worried that his sister will not have enough food and clothing to wear at school, so he will give her more living expenses every month.

In 2018, Li Leyou graduated from primary school. With excellent results, he was admitted to the top five in grade and was admitted to Honghe Middle School.

She quickly told her mother and brother the news, feeling happy for her. She became the pride of Wu Li and Cui Jin.

Li Leyou is already a part of their family.

During winter and summer vacations, Li Leyou would go to Dalian to find his mother and brother. Although we can only meet each other every summer, phone calls are indispensable.

In his hometown, Li Leyou is a little adult, taking care of his grandparents and cooking. As for her family in Dalian, her mother and brother doted on her if they didn't let her do anything.

My mother and brother took her to see the sea, go to amusement parks, eat seafood, and satisfy her with all kinds of things.

Who is it if someone asks? Wu Li said this is my daughter, and Cui Jin also said this is my sister.

Under their care, Li Leyou became more and more confident, learned to communicate with others, and even spoke authentic Northeastern dialect.

In the past few years, Li Leyou has been flying alone from Yunnan, tossing and turning to his mother and brother, just because he wanted to see his mother.

In her heart, Wu Li is her mother.

18-year-old Li Leyou is faced with a life choice, taking the college entrance examination. She had already had a goal in mind. She wanted to be admitted to a school in Dalian and live with her mother and brother.

She thinks that the countryside is too quiet for her. She likes golden things, the noise, and the ups and downs of the city.

She has been pursuing this goal and working harder in her studies.

In her sophomore year of high school, Li Leyou was faced with the subject of liberal arts and sciences. Wu Li’s mother attached great importance to it, which meant whether she could get into a good school and have a stable job.

On the day of their choice, they had a long phone call, discussing whether to choose liberal arts or science.

Wu Li’s mother thinks: Li Leyou has better grades in liberal arts and should choose liberal arts. But she disagreed. She wanted to study science and get admitted to study medicine.

Wu Li’s mother kept calling her, urging her to study liberal arts, but the phone couldn’t be reached. It turned out that her phone was turned off.

Li Leyou didn’t listen to his mother’s advice and privately decided to study science.

When she was a freshman in high school, her grades in science were not very good and she fell behind in a lot of homework, which made Wu Li worried.

But Li Leyou worked hard to study science. After school, he studied at home and spent less time playing.

During the winter and summer vacations, I came to Dalian to visit my mother and brother. I also brought study materials with me and spent most of the time studying in my room.

Before going back to school, Wu Li’s mother would be worried that she would be under a lot of pressure at school and would tell her if she had anything to do.

And Li Leyou does the same thing. She will share everything with her mother, and they will solve the problem together.

Cui Jin will rely on his identity as an elder brother to ensure that his sister does not fall in love prematurely or go astray. What he experienced when he was a child, he didn't want his sister to go through fire and water.

Under their care, Li Leyou thrived.

As bitter as the first half of Li Leyou’s life was, the second half of his life will be as sweet. She is very lucky to have met a mother like Wu Li and a brother like Cui Jin.

They did not ask for anything in return and treated Li Leyou like a family member.

I hope she will be grateful and not forget her brother and mother when she grows up, nor forget her grandparents who raised her, and honor them in the future.
