Meiwen admires 丨 father

Text/Rong Yang

My father's life was bumpy and full of vicissitudes, and finally he left the world with attachment.

My father was born 14 days ago, still in his infancy, and his grandfather died of illness, and his father became an orphan.

After going to school, my father understood the hardships of my grandmother, while studying, while helping my grandmother to do more farm work, and in addition to doing some farm work, my grandmother got up early and greedy, spun thread and weaving fabrics, and exchanged some small money for her two sons to go to school during the festival.

My father was admitted to the Chinese Department of Shaanxi Normal University with the first place in the class, because the normal school could apply for subsidies.

My father told me that he could never forget the scene when his grandmother sent him to college, grandma married himself for many years, never willing to use the blue flowers were given to him in a duffel bag, steamed a pot of black-faced steamed buns, a grand feast, a small-footed old lady, with hard work to help raise his orphans, sent to college, the father looked at his tearful mother, promised to study well, and repay her with excellent results.

In order to save money for train tickets, my father walked from his hometown 200 miles away for two days and one night in one go, and walked to the university he aspired to. In the future, he worked hard and thriftily, not only did not spend a penny on his grandmother, but also applied for a bursary from the school, served as a class leader in the class, and became the leader of the grade group. After graduating from college, my father responded to the call of the state and went to the backward Great Northwest Branch Teaching.

There were few opportunities to repay Grandma, and Grandma never asked her father to do something for her, and the concept of putting work first and doing state affairs ran through her father's life.

After retirement, his father did not live according to the goals he set, and he devoted all his energy to raising his grandchildren.

Throughout his life, his father developed the habit of getting up early and being greedy, and played a residual heat in the education of his grandson. He is optimistic and has no regrets. Once I jokingly asked him: "Dad, you should live the life you want after retirement, and now in order to take your grandchildren, you sacrificed your old age, do you have any regrets?" Father laughed and did not answer me. Such days have continued for more than a decade.

I remember one day, I went to visit my father, he was alone in the room on the writing desk, a thick book has been written more than halfway, I looked closely, it turned out that my father was doing an Olympiad problem. My father, who is already more than 70 years old, has not lost the momentum of teaching and educating people in the past, and has used several methods to meditate hard and answer the Olympic numbers, and I have flipped through the Olympiad books he has made, which are dozens of pages. I smiled and said, "Dad, you haven't studied Olympiad before, and Olympiad is a math competition problem that has only been developed now, can you solve it?" Only to see my father say flatly: "What is so difficult about this, find the law and solve it, my advanced mathematics in college is much more difficult than this, I can solve it, I will not be afraid of this Olympiad..."

I like to sit and talk with my father, no one interferes, and I am not swayed by emotions. A few times, I knocked on the door and came in, just when my father was at home, I was glad to be able to chat with my father alone, we talked about the past hard life, talked about his bitterness and sorrow, but more about my life, the progress and growth of my grandchildren.

When talking about the shining point of children's progress and growth, my father was always full of hope, his eyes were full of pride and satisfaction, and he even helped me analyze the children's future development prospects, look forward to their future, and look forward to their world with an appreciative eye.

My father, who grew up in the face of adversity, once again left his indomitable spirit in my memory. He not only lived to learn from old age, full of love and curiosity about the world around him, but also left me a valuable spiritual legacy with his words and deeds.

I once promised my father to go to the Sima Qian Ancestral Hall in Hancheng to see, and I told my father that mr. Sima Qian's sculpture was created there, and a large number of group sculptures were made on Sima Qian Square to carry forward the spirit of Sima Qian and set up a monument for Sima Qian. Because my father had also worked in Hancheng in his early years, he had not returned for decades, and he was very familiar with the people and scenery there, and he hoped to have the opportunity to go back to see. I promised him that I would definitely realize this wish, and also let him look at the new changes and developments in Hancheng today, look at the sculpture of Sima Qian and the large group sculptures around him, this matter has always been in my heart, I always feel that coming to Japan is long, there is an opportunity, a day back and forth, must make my father satisfied. Just like this, it dragged on again and again, and there was no following, which also made my father look forward to it for a long time.

After all, my father did not realize this wish of his, and left me more than ten days later, leaving us with my regrets and full of longing and longing.

It has been a whole year since my father left me, and I don't know if there will be hardships and tribulations in another world, and I pray that God will not let my father suffer any more, and that I will be carefree, healthy and peaceful in another world.
