My Father
My father,who is already in his fifties,lives in the
countryside.Despite the fact that his schooling adds up
to no more than one year,he attaches great importance
to my study and always encourages me to study hard.
To ensure that I can concentrate on my study,my
father does whatever he can do for me.Once he was bad-
ly ill and the doctor asked him to stay in bed for several
days.When I got home to see him,I found him working
in the fields.So deeply moved was I that I couldn't help
bursting into tears.
Such is my father,a simple,honest and hardwork-
ing person.
