The clearer the place to turn back, the firmer the path forward.
The year is over.
In the past few days, many people have returned or are on their way back.
According to daily news reports, as of the 27th, more than 780 million passengers were transported during the Spring Festival nationwide.
People all over the country are saying goodbye to their parents and their hometowns these days.
In Jingzhou, Hubei, the daughter returned and the mother stuffed the trunk full.
In Chongqing, the family left after reunion, and the old man stood alone on the side of the road and watched, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Reunions are always short-lived.
For the sake of livelihood, for the sake of study, for the sake of responsibility, despite all the reluctance, we still choose to pack our bags and hurry to a distant place.
There are thousands of reasons to leave home, but the concern for home is the same.
In the past, people always used family letters to express their thoughts and worries about home.
See the words like faces, the paper is short and long.
Today, with insight, read the family books of 7 celebrities together and feel the warmth and attachment of home.
01
About money
It's hard to imagine that Bruce Lee's letter to his wife is all about making money.
Because he has rent to pay and debts to pay off.
For this reason, Bruce Lee was also forced to become a migrant worker away from home, working hard to make movies to make money.
You can't live without money.
Food, clothing, housing, firewood, rice, oil and salt, education and medical care, housing loans, car loans, everything needs money.
More than 90% of the world's troubles are related to money.
If it weren't for a few taels of broken silver, who would want to leave home.
If it is not for the purpose of making money to live, who wants to be exiled.
The ancients said: People leave their homeland and are cheap.
A person who leaves his hometown and goes to a place where he has no relatives, without dependence, is naturally easy to be despised.
Who doesn't want to stay in their hometown with family and friends?
But the bills at home do not allow, the expenses at home do not allow, and every minute and second of life is supported by money.
Tea is not as light as water, and people are poor as ghosts.
New year, work hard and make good money.
With money in our pockets, we can calmly face the unknown and unexpected on the road of life, and have the confidence to resist the storms of life.

About liability
It was a letter from a diplomat, and the child was just one year old and he was going to work abroad.
Take up your mission for the Motherland.
He really wanted to stay and grow up with his children.
From babbling to stumbling, two, three, four, watching him go from a beast to a little man.
People can only grow up this time, but being a father but not being able to accompany him is destined to be a regret for a lifetime.
But we don't just have our own little home, we also have everyone.
Soldiers who guard the territory of the motherland, doctors on duty in hospitals during the New Year, staff on duty on high-speed trains and aircraft.
It is their dedication, their parting, in exchange for the safety and convenience of countless people.
Many times, responsibility means sacrifice.
Sacrifice freedom, sacrifice family, sacrifice health.
But responsibility is the basis of a person's identity, and people cannot be without responsibility.
The ancients said: Matters must be commissioned, but they can be obliged; There is no other power, but it can be ready.
Only when a person stands at a post and is seriously responsible for that work to the end can society and the country function normally.
In this life, we are aware of responsibility, clear responsibility, and responsible.
Learning to be responsible is the most important lesson in life.
Learn to take responsibility in order to become a qualified adult.

About education
This is a letter written by Zou Shaomeng, chief of staff of Major General Sichuan Army, to his son before the Battle of Taierzhuang.
After the Battle of Taierzhuang, Zou Shaomeng was martyred, and this letter became his final pen.
The letter that the son received after learning of his death in battle was shocking.
On the battlefield, on the eve of the war, Zou Shaomeng still did not forget the education of his children.
The words are earnest, and the words are like gold.
Like all parents in the world, they take the trouble to ask about all aspects of their children's development.
Have pity on the hearts of the parents of the world.
Every parent who can't be with their children has such worries.
The growth of children is the lifelong work of parents.
Parents always keep this matter in their hearts and eyes.
I am afraid that my child's education will go wrong, and he will not be able to become a talent, he will not be able to become a weapon, or even go on a crooked road.
The love of parents for their children is far-reaching.
Being a good example for children and good planning is a compulsory course for every parent.
Be more attentive and care to keep your child on the right track.
It may be difficult now, but as long as you survive this period and wait for your child to develop a habit, you can usher in a day when the melon is ripe.

About health
Medicine is written throughout the family book.
The child of the family, Aman was ill, and Ye Shengtao was extremely concerned and confirmed the prescription in every way.
Between the lines, it shows his love.
The health of our families is our top concern.
Part-time workers leave home, often returning only once a year, often worrying about the health of their families.
The wave of the epidemic at the end of last year was a severe test for the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
This Spring Festival home, many elders' bodies have not fully recovered.
Elders with slightly underlying diseases still have symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, and cough.
After an infection, the parents' health was not as good as before.
Considering the secondary infection, the health of parents has become a sword hanging over the head of every migrant worker, which makes people worry.
As our parents grow old, they are no longer the big trees that shelter us from the wind and rain, and now we need us to shelter them in their old age and become their solid dependency.
The next time you go home, take them to a physical examination, and usually urge them to exercise more so that they can have a healthy body.
Chat more and talk more every day to get them in a good mood.
They took care of our lives, and in their later years, we will support the rest of their lives with actions.

About lies
At the time of writing, the situation was turbulent.
Wen Yiduo's parents got the news in their hometown in Hubei and were worried about Wen Yiduo's safety, so they wrote to their son and asked him to return to Hubei for a while.
Wen Yiduo told his parents in his reply that the students were doing things steadily, and they would not be in any danger.
In fact, the situation was full of dangers at that time, and Wen Yiduo was ready to be arrested.
In order not to worry parents, they chose to "report good news but not worry".
Every wanderer who goes out is deeply concerned by his parents.
However, when we encounter difficulties and diseases, we always keep silent and avoid talking about it.
We were too far away from home and our parents couldn't help much.
Instead of increasing the concern of the elderly, it is better to put it in the heart and digest it yourself.
And parents are even more so, in order to let us work with peace of mind, usually encounter problems, but also always choose to carry it themselves.
Dong Qing once said: "Family affection is a countdown of love, what we can do is to cherish the limited time and do our best to leave no regrets for our parents." ”
Every time I go home, every vacation, I put down the work at hand and try my best to make up for the regret that I can't see each other on weekdays.
There are thousands of regrets in the world, but there is never any one that can surpass the difference from parents.
Every goodbye in the future, hug a little harder, say more often, and look back more.

About confession
The adolescent rebellious Mai family was injured in a fight with a classmate, and later went to find a classmate to take revenge, but was bumped into by his father and was beaten by his father.
Coupled with the daily grudges, the Mai family broke with his father.
For more than ten years, his attitude towards his father was very cold.
It wasn't until he had a son that he slowly began to understand the expectations behind his father's scolding.
Until he saw his father's room full of his own books.
Until he heard from other people's mouths that his father had always been proud of him.
He only began to reconcile with his father.
But time is not spared, and at this time my father has Alzheimer's disease and can't recognize him at all.
A few years later, when his father died, the Mai family wrote this letter with remorse.
Blood is thicker than water, and there is no knot between family members that cannot be untied.
Many contradictions, in fact, only need a greeting, a text message, can melt the ice.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to be nurtured and does not wait.
Some things, missed, are a lifetime; Some, as soon as they turn around, become forever.
Don't always cling to past mistakes.
Choose to let go, choose to forgive.
While the time is not old, parents are alive, love them well and accompany them.

About regrets
Zeng Shijie is the vice president of Taitung University, and his wife is a professor at Taitung University.
A year after his wife was diagnosed with cancer, the two children went to college, had little contact with their families, and often couldn't get through on the phone.
Worried that his early workaholic performance had set the wrong example, his father wrote this family letter.
Write down your irreparable regrets for your wife, and tell your two children that no matter how busy they are at work and school, they should not neglect their care and warmth for their families.
We always feel that the years are long, and it is time to calmly get together and love each other.
But we forget the cruelty of time, the shortness of life, and the fragility of life itself.
Cherish every moment and don't miss every opportunity to express your feelings.
Even if you are thousands of miles away, don't forget to contact your family more.
Say what should be said, and do what should be done.
Only in this way, when we really want to separate, will we not regret missing something.

But for the sake of livelihood, for life, despite all reluctance, he still hurriedly stepped on the return train.
Back to the city where we work, back to where we worked.
There is a saying in "The Reader": The clearer the place of return, the firmer the way forward.
Give it a thumbs up, in the new year, let's continue to work hard to pursue a better and more outstanding self.
Then parting today will definitely usher in a better reunion.
