【Family Letter】

My dear son,

On the occasion of the New Year when thousands of families are full of lights and relatives are returning from thousands of miles, for the first time in Sierra Leone, dad who is on medical missions to assist Africa cannot accompany you to spend the Spring Festival with you, and cannot embark on the journey back home with you and your mother to spend the festive season with your elderly grandparents. But the sensible you yesterday in the signal is not good intermittent WeChat video a sentence "you can rest assured, I have grown up, I can take care of your mother and grandparents on your behalf, we will be fine, you also have to be well" let the father suddenly quietly burst into tears.

Dear son, you did not know that in fact, the spring festival holiday that you are happiest every year used to be the most reluctant day in the hearts of your parents. Dad always remembers February 25, 2007, the eighth day of the first lunar month, this day you fell to the ground, Mom and Dad are still immersed in the joy of you coming to this world, "severe hyperbilirubinemia, bilirubin encephalopathy" such a critical notice of illness instantly like a basin of cold water poured on mom and dad's head, looking at being sent into the ICU with a big slap you helplessly lying on the snow-white bed, Dad's heart is up, your condition is more special, the doctor can only adjust the treatment plan while observing the effect, And let Dad prepare for the worst. Although in the end you got better little by little like a miracle, but that cold Spring Festival, Dad did not want to remember, and the next few Spring Festivals Mom and Dad also had palpitations. It is also from the day when you recovered from the illness, you can finally be picked up from the ICU, looking at your weak and childish smile at the beginning of your serious illness, Dad secretly swore in his heart that from this point on the year, when you are 18 years old, you must accompany you on the eighth day of the first month of the first month of each year and spend every birthday with you.

Time is like an arrow, 15 years have passed in a flash, and I think back to the bits and pieces from your birth to the present, everything is vividly remembered. In the 14 birthdays before you, Dad was with you and spent it with you. However, on the occasion of your 15th birthday, forgive your dad for breaking his oath and not being able to spend his birthday with you. In 2021, the state entrusted Hunan Province to set up the 23rd batch of medical teams to aid Sierra Leone, which requires experienced ultrasound doctors to join. Dad has been engaged in ultrasound work in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University for 20 years, with rich clinical experience and comprehensive medical ability, and has officially joined the 23rd batch of medical teams in Hunan Province to aid Sierra Leone after layers of selection. Although the global epidemic has not yet subsided, the country has cultivated me, and when the country needs it, I must be obliged to join the medical team and contribute to the country. On your 15th birthday, forgive your father for not being able to be with you, but only send you blessings and expectations in the form of letters in distant Sierra Leone. Although I can't spend my birthday with you this year, Dad and Dad's medical colleagues have used superb medical technology to help more Sierra Leonean people cure diseases and return to health in distant Africa, so that more Sierra Leonean families can gather together. The temporary separation of our small family has been exchanged for the long-term reunion of many families, and I think you who are sensible will be able to understand Dad's choice.

Son, the countdown to the second hand ticks, the rallying cry of the middle school entrance examination is about to blow, and you are about to face the first big test in your life. Although Dad can no longer accompany you like before, he can't help but cheer up his morale. But Dad firmly believes that you can be the master of your own learning. Be the master of your own learning today, and tomorrow you will become the master of your own life. Learning should not only be conscious, but also master the method and think diligently. Dad knows that you are very obedient, study very hard, usually must insist on exercising, maintain physical and mental health. Self-confidence and self-improvement, perseverance, not arrogance, learning without pressure, play out their own level. Also, you have to listen to your mother's words, the year your father left home, the burden of the family fell on your mother, your father did not want your mother to be affected, but your father was helpless, far away in Africa, the whip was out of reach, I hope you can play the spirit of manhood, to help your mother do some hard work, don't let your mother be too tired, can do this, father will be very pleased. Son, Dad wishes you good health in the new year, learning and progress, achieving success in your heart, and realizing your ideals!

On the eve of the son, the father set off from the country to Sierra Leone, the leaders at all levels of the hospital organized a farewell party, at which the secretary sent his father a sentence, "The national flag on the chest is not only embroidered on the clothes, but also deeply engraved in the heart." Dad now also wants to send this sentence to you who are about to become an adult, no matter when and where, you must have a country in your heart. Always remember that "the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, the independence of the youth is the independence of the country, and the freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country."

Dear son, Daddy loves you! Blessings forever! Next year's birthday Dad will be able to successfully complete the medical task of aiding Africa, return to the motherland to spend the festive season with you and your mother, grandparents and grandparents, and our family will accompany you to spend your 16th birthday. Finally, on the occasion of this Chinese New Year, let us also bless our great motherland Guotai Min'an, Wufu Minxi, prosperity and prosperity!
