Waiting in the Cold Wind: A poignant story
In the cold winter, an old man took the first bus to the town with 15 catties of dried radishes before dawn, ready to bring the dried radishes to his three sons in the county seat. This is a deep love for him, a longing and care for his children. However, at five o'clock in the afternoon, he hurried back and brought home the dried turnips intact.
The protagonist of the story is named Liu Yitang, 30 years old, and his uncle waits in the cold wind to visit him, while his three uncles do not react to his arrival. This is not only sad, but also thought-provoking.
Liu Yitang is a kind person, and when he saw his uncle waiting for the bus on the side of the road with a big bag of dried radish, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He offered to take his uncle for a ride, and on the way he asked him about his itinerary and plans. However, his uncle's answer made him feel heartache.
The uncle took the dried radish to the county seat to visit his sons, however, the three sons did not return home for various reasons, and none of them even left him to eat. This is undoubtedly a deep hurt to an old man. They have forgotten how their father had worked so hard to raise them, and now that they are adults, they are unable to give their parents the most basic care and companionship.
Liu Yitang watched his uncle's dried radish come back untouched, and his heart was full of doubts and incomprehension. However, when the uncle finished eating the noodles cooked by his daughter-in-law, he seemed to understand. The uncle returned to the village without lunch, apparently expecting that a son would keep him for dinner. However, none of the sons had the intention of doing so.
This story makes us reflect on our love and care for our parents. When we pursue our careers and lives, do we forget our parents, who have given us so much, and do we ignore their feelings in our busy lives?
At the same time, this story also shows us the indifference and ruthlessness of human nature. The three sons did not show any enthusiasm or concern for their father's arrival, and they did not even keep him for dinner. This is undoubtedly a blasphemy and disregard for family affection.
However, Liu Yitang's behavior is worth learning from Xi. His care and care for his uncle shows the image of a dutiful son. He not only offered to take his uncle on a ride, but also expressed concern for his uncle's life and health. When his uncle felt hungry, the noodles cooked by his daughter-in-law made him feel warm and caring. This kind of care and care is something that each of us should learn Xi practice.
In this fast-paced society, we may neglect to care for our parents because of our work and life. However, we need to recognize that parents are one of the most important beings in our lives. Their dedication and love cannot be measured by anything. Therefore, we should give them as much care and care as possible.
Finally, this story also reminds us not to forget our roots and our culture. In our traditional culture, filial piety is crucial. We should always keep this value in mind so that our parents can receive the care and care they deserve in their old age.
