The little girl went from being a little girl to a big girl, to falling in love, getting married, having children, and finally becoming an old woman, who rode her bicycle to the river every day to look out, and her father never came back. Until one day, the river dried up, and the little girl who had become an old woman, swept away the mud and sand, and finally found the small boat that my father had taken in the middle of the river, at this time, the boat had been stranded in the river for a long time. The little girl lay quietly on the boat, feeling the smell of her father and the beautiful memories of her father's love for her.
What should the relationship between parents and children look like? Writer Long Yingtai said: "The so-called father-daughter mother-son relationship only means that your fate with him is that you are constantly watching his back drift away in this life and this life." You stand at this end of the path, watching him fade away where the path turns, and, silently telling you with his back: No need to chase. ”
