Mr Wu asked the Class 1, Grade 9 students to write about the person who has influenced them the most.
The person who has influenced me the most is my father.
Read the article
A meaningful life
I think my father has a very meaningful life. He is an ordinary man, but he is very kind and helpful. Every day, he tries his best to help others.
Whenever his friends or family need help, he is always ready to lend a hand. And it is normal for him to take care of old people in our neighbourhood in his free time.
My father does not just help people in his everyday life. He has also donated blood more than 20 times. This is enough to save about 70 lives. Even his death will have meaning since he has decided to donate his body for medical research when he dies.
My father believes it is meaningful to support those around us. He has a heart full of love. I am greatly influenced by my father. I have made up my mind to live my life just like him.
