How did two sisters in Chongqing miss their deceased father and put his photo into a family portrait?

"The Spring Festival is coming, and we want to take another family photo with you. This time, it's you, us, mom, and your little grandsons you haven't met yet." Yesterday, a reporter from the Chongqing Evening News Dayu.com saw a popular post entitled "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, they took a family photo with their father who passed away 23 years ago", which caused netizens to burst into tears.

Yesterday, the reporter interviewed the poster, Zhang Jia, who works in management of a kindergarten. Her sister Zhang Yi in the photo also works in education.

"In today's terms, my father was a great god back then." Zhang Jia said that when he was a child, his family lived in the lower half of Yuzhong District. The neighbors called his father "Zhang Laowu" and admired his chess, calligraphy and painting. He is proficient in everything and can also play the saxophone. My parents' marriage was blessed by the neighbors. In that era of material scarcity, my parents were able to live a romantic and warm life.

In 1984, when the two sisters were 100 days old, their parents took them to the photo studio to take this family portrait. "It was not easy to take a picture at that time, so my father told my mother that we would hold our grandson and take pictures again in the future." I never thought that my father would pass away from cancer in 1994.

My mother raised the two sisters alone. My mother has always been strong, but every Spring Festival she gets very sad and looks at the only family photo again and again. "This year, my mother will be 60 years old. We hope she will be happy." Zhang Jia and Zhang Yi discussed making a special family portrait. On January 18, the sisters took their children and their mother to the photo studio to take a full photo, and then asked the staff to insert the photo of their father after special processing. "Dad was finally reunited with his grandchildren in the photo. In the past, the children only knew that grandpa was a star in the sky. This time, they finally had a real impression of grandpa."

This group photo was taken and processed by Shi Lichuan, the person in charge of the photo studio. She said, "I have taken countless family portraits. The first time I did this kind of family portrait, I was extremely shocked. The photography assistant burst into tears beside me."

“We want to use this photo to tell Dad that we are living a good life and that we miss him all the time.” Zhang Jia said that this family photo will be hung in the middle of the living room.
