Zhang Aijia sang in "The Price of Love": "People always have to learn to grow up, and life is inevitably painful and struggling."
In the blink of an eye, you're 18 years old. As you grow up, Dad has something to say to you.
Don't be afraid of Daddy!

The ducks in the pond swim in the scene do not know whether you have noticed or not: the ducks have a leisurely, relaxed and relaxed look on the surface, but they do not know that the flippers under the water have been paddling hard, and they dare not stop for a moment.
Behind every seemingly glamorous thing, there is an extraordinary effort hidden.
There is also a "climbing fork" that your aunt often gives you from your hometown, which is the predecessor of the cicada. It will live in the dark soil for three years, taste loneliness and loneliness, and survive by sucking the sap of trees. Until the time is ripe, it will slowly climb up the branches, transform into knowledge, fly to the blue sky, and embrace freedom.
Where there is any life hanging, but it is all thick and thin.
As former CCTV host Chai Jing wrote in the book "Seeing": "Behind every relaxed smile is a soul who once clenched his teeth." ”
Remember the poem in "My Father and Me" that we went to see together? That's exactly the poem Dad wants to "read for you":
My child, if I can, I want to tell you all the mysteries of the world.
Tell you, mountains and rivers, sunrises and moonsets, glory and dreams, setbacks and sorrows.
Tell you that fuel is something that ignites yourself and illuminates others.
Rockets are, for the sake of dreams, throwing away their own things.
Life is something that is used to burn.
Death is something that validates life.
The universe is something that makes death small.
The small dust is the beginning of the universe.
The ordinary small is the beginning of greatness.
And you, my child, are the beginning of making ordinary us want to create a new world.

Ten years of grinding a sword, the frost blade has not been tried; eat bitterly, to be a superior person.
Birds do not fly high, do not know the vastness of the sky, people are not far away, do not know the infinity of the world.
In September this year, you will enter the university and start another journey of your life. Dad blesses you: get admitted to the school of your choice and walk out of a different kind of wonderful.
Ji Ji Duoshi is a great cause; talents rise, and the fortunes of the country prosper.
The "Eye of Heaven" asked the firmament, and the "Big Dipper" shone in the night sky; the "Chang'e" moon rush has come true, and the "Jiaolong" exploration of the sea is not a dream; Chairman Mao's dream of that year -- "you can go up to the moon for nine days, and you can catch turtles in the five oceans." The dream has come true and has been realized.
The competition in the future is bound to be the competition of talents.
Infinite unknown tomorrow still depends on yourself to explore, to explore, dad told you: drum up enough energy, work hard to do; bold to go, brave forward; for the dream, don't be afraid to sweat.
Meng Wanzhou said in his speech before returning to China: "Some winds and waves are inevitably difficult and dangerous, and only by facing them can they sail away; some arrive, it is inevitable to detour, and after all the twists and turns, they will eventually anchor and dock." ”
Dad wants you: to believe in the light in the darkness, to believe in dreams in difficult situations, to grit your teeth in places where there is no road, to forge ahead, to find direction.
Whether it is rain or shine ahead, I hope that you can walk sonorously, do not change your original intention, take the dream as a horse, and bloom; I hope that you will hone your mind in one story after another, and fly against the wind in one track after another.
Moving forward, riding on the wind of thousands of miles, breaking thousands of miles of waves; bravely breaking, sinking the heart, and growing upwards.

The Lebanese poet Kir Ha Gibran wrote in Your Child, Not Yours:
Your child, in fact, is not your child
They are the children born of life's desire for itself
They came into this world through you, but they didn't come because of you
They are by your side, but they don't belong to you
What you can give them is your love, but not your thoughts
Because they have their own thoughts
What you can shelter is their body
But it is not their soul
For their souls belong to tomorrow
It belongs to tomorrow that you can't dream of
You can do your best
Become like them
But don't make them like you
Because life doesn't go backwards
Nor do I stop in the past
You are the bow, and the children are the arrows that shoot from you
The archer looks to the arrow target on the road ahead
He pulls you away with all his might, causing his arrows to shoot fast and far
With a happy mood
Bend in the hands of an archer
Because he loves arrows that fly all the way
I also love the incomparably stable bow
We have our mission, and you have your glory. "Those who are lucky can become confidants; those who are unfortunate can only be A and B."
Dad wants to be your lifelong confidant, both "like a friend of the family" and "like a friend of the family."
In 2048.
A city.
One night.
When you come home from work, nothing to do. Looking back at the road, like smoke passing by. Are there some stories that you will never forget? Are there some images that wet your eyes? Are there some words that warm your heart?
At that time, did you also have some heartfelt words that you wanted to tell your father?
