It's been over two years since I last saw my father and the picture that has been burned into my memory is the silhouette of his back. That winter, my grandmother passed away and my father was let off from his job. Those really were times where bad things came in pairs. I travelled from Beijing to Xu Zhou to meet up with my father, so that we could travel home together to attend the funeral. When I saw my father in Xu Zhou and the house in totally disarray, memories of my grandmother came flooding back. Tears stream down my face. My father said: "It is what is is. There's no need to be sad. There's always a way out."

Emphasising the fact that "things turn out contrary to the way one wishes them to happen", the objective situation is different to the subjective will. You want to do it, but you can't. You feel as if you have tried, but the situation has prevented you from doing it. There is nothing you can do about it. But it can sound like you are passing the buck or quite passive about the situation.
