Look at the picture.I met with it on Weibo.It is a picture of a child who described his father.In this picture, a bearded miner father is using his miner’s lamp to light his beloved family.That is, this father is making every effort to support his family.I was really moved not only by the pure and wonderful showing of an ordinary miner father’s greatne, but for his tender and careful love for his father and his sincere thank for his father.It is reported that so many miners are risking their lives to support their families.Among them, there are fathers, or maybe sons.I bet you must remember quite well their dirty and dark faces and their quite rough hands and their dirty and shabby clothes.Those images deeply tug at our hearts. Maybe you still remember a famous picture called Father.It is an ordinary worker father who has shiny dark skin and countle deep wrinkles with his head wrapped by a white cloth.Father is holding on a bowl of water.He has undergone years of suffering but smiles a thin smile, making audience including me filled with a thousand regrets.
That is because from either the child’s picture or Father or some public service advertising about parents, every one is apt to recall their own fathers.No matter what their fathers do, maybe farmers, or teachers, or even respected chairmen, our fathers are all spending their whole lives supporting us, loving us.Every time I see some parents beg for their life in rags, I just wonder where their children are and don’t they feel guilty for their beggar parents? We all say that daughter is mother’s little coat.But for my part, my father is my dearest one.Of course I love my mother.But my mother has suffered a disease all her life and she could not tend me more carefully.It is my father who is there to be my tender mother and my strict father and also my sincere friend.My father’s hands are also dark and rough enough.However every time he touches my hands, I feel quite comfortable and safe and warm.I always think that my previous life is my father’s lover.To be his daughter is destiny.You yourselves must treasure your memories with your parents.As Mother’s day is coming, why not expre your love to your parents and in the meantime, keep your efforts of studying or working for them to yourselves? At last, I remember there is a popular saying on the Weibo.That is, “姑娘，别再胡思乱想了，世界上最爱你的那个男人已经娶了你妈妈了。” That’s all.Thank you.
