Dearest Jing Child,
The years do not live, the seasons are like a stream. Dad has been working outside the home for nearly three years. Whenever I bring up a pen to write to you, although there are a thousand words on the end of the pen, I don't know where to start for a while.
I remember when my father returned from his first vacation in the winter of the previous year, at 5:20 a.m., you got up early, grabbed your father's luggage with your young hands, carried it on your weak shoulders, and went to the corner of the intersection of the community, you and your mother stood silently on the edge of the green belt, watching the back of your father gradually drifting away, when your father sat in the car, with tears in his eyes through the window, he vaguely saw your hands tightly pulling on the corners of your mother's clothes, blowing the cold north wind, standing quietly next to the small trees in the green belt, with tears flowing unwillingly...
It is said that the girl is Daddy's little cotton jacket, then Daddy is your "idol". Over the past few years, Dad has actively responded to the party's call, participated in foreign aid work, overcome the natural environment of yellow sand, endured extremely cold and extremely hot climatic conditions, overcame many difficulties, and has been doing something that makes you and your mother proud and admired. Dad once won four third-class merits in the army, and was jointly commended by 9 units in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province as the "First Top Ten Youths" of Ganzi Prefecture. So I hope that you can be as I wish, have lofty ideals and home and country feelings, run to a beautiful and broad future, and harvest full of happiness.
Jing'er, the road of life will never be smooth. In the days when Dad is not at home, you have to learn to be confident, self-reliant, and self-reliant. Life will inevitably fall, fall, hurt, but don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, and don't give up the pursuit of beauty, because these are the preludes to you learning to run freely. Dad wants you to remember three points, one is to learn to be grateful. Gratitude gives you life, the parents who have worked hard to raise you into adulthood, grateful for all the people in this world who are good to you, no matter how much you will have in the future, how high your position, at any time you can not forget your roots, throw away your own roots; second, dare to suffer. Only those who have suffered hardships, suffered tiredness, and experienced setbacks can cherish the difficulties of life and the road of growth can go more steadily. Dad once lived in the harsh environment of the plateau where there was not enough oxygen for 15 years, and now Dad still insists on working for assistance thousands of miles away, and the suffering you suffer cannot be experienced now. But no matter what, Dad can persevere, and has been fully affirmed by the leaders and the masses, so you can't lose the spirit of hardship at any time; three be a good person. This is the most basic navigation mark of life, never deviate. At the same time, we must also love the collective, do good deeds, pay more attention to the classmates around us, and try our best to support our parents.
Jing Bao, listening to your mother say that your final exam results have made great progress, your father is very pleased, and he also hopes that you will go further. Dad promised you to come back for the New Year, take you to eat Kender chicken, watch movies, wash your hair, climb Zhushan Park, etc., but due to work reasons, this time you are going to miss the appointment again, and please understand Dad's difficulties. After the end of the year, Dad will definitely come back to take you to the places you want to go after completing the task.
Love your dad forever
