Dad, grow up with me

The first tear I saw in this movie was when the old man said goodbye to his eldest daughter at the train station, and asked with red eyes: are u happy? Instantly reminded me of my dad.
Just like when the old man was young, my dad also wanted me to be a scholar. I still remember that after the college entrance examination, I was really busy, so I signed up for an English class at New Oriental University with my good friend. One day after class, I heard my classmates shouting about the results of the college entrance examination! Just as I was about to check, I received a call from my father. On the phone, he asked me angrily: Do you know how many points you got in the test? I tremblingly said: I didn't come and check. He roared angrily: Only XXX points! Then dropped the phone. Later, I learned that my score was eight points short of my first choice: Central University of Finance and Economics.

However, now my father will tell me: nothing is important and happiness is the most important; go out to eat less, come home, I will make you good food; parents and children are not the most important, the partner is the companion You should cherish the people in your whole life...

The old man who was grumpy back then has become a "warm man" who is still occasionally grumpy. But I prefer to understand that such a change is growth. The parents of that year understood: everyone is different, the truth can be taught, but the road must be walked by oneself. Life is long, and life is not perfect, but imperfection does not mean unhappiness, so take what you have and try to enjoy the life. Be a soft daddy!

    Not as good as the original

    De Niro, a gangster boy, has always been a tough guy. I like his smile very much. It turns out that he can also play a kind and funny father. I can only feel that being a good father is too difficult, and there will always be some estrangement with the children of the next generation, and there is a distance and courtesy between conversations. The last sentence of the priceless family is self-knowledge
