On the map of Eastern family ethics, the relationship between father and son is quite complex, carrying both the heavy sediment of the millennium old patriarchal system and the imprint of the Confucian "father son son" order. Then, under the erosion of modernity, unprecedented tension and cracks are revealed. My father is like this. As a teacher, he was rarely involved in my life decisions after I started working. But deep down, I know that all these years have come thanks to his expectations and influence on me when I was young: the duty of being a person, the requirements for myself, a calm and composed attitude, and knowing how to move forward and backward with moderation. As Old Wu said, the quality passed down from generation to generation is more important than the wealth passed down from generation to generation. In recent years, I have taken him and his mother on several trips every year, taking advantage of their good health to explore different places. Every time we are together, having a cup of tea with him, taking a walk on the street, we can also see him trying his best to understand the industry I work in and keeping up with the topics we talk about. Of course, the most concerned thing is whether my health is good or not, which is related to the growth of my children. I can feel a sincere but subtle fatherly love. The day before yesterday, when I saw the Father's Day gifts that my two children brought back from kindergarten, I was a little teary eyed for a moment, and suddenly I could empathize with the mentality of my father when he looked at me as a teenager. It's important to know where we're going, but even more important is to know where we're coming from. Only in this way can we better influence and guide our children through practical actions. I also want @ Guilin_Chen_ Guilin Brothers to talk about their Father's Day feelings here.
