It is believed in
some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in
a different way. For a long time my father has been a very vague figure(模糊形象)to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim
and nothing else.
When I was in primary school,
my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher
meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school
and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation my father was nowhere
to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded
man who did not care about me at all.
But things seemed different
at my high school graduation ceremony where I was chosen to represent my class and
give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place
outside the city and would be unable to show up(露面), "Don't come. I will be very nervous if I see you. "I told
him.
I remember my speech went
smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed
a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father！I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears
running down my face. "Well done," he said. His eyes were also filled
with tears.
Later, I found out that my
father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight
hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to
see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.
For much of my life I described
my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought
deeply about this, it was obviously
not true. At my graduation ceremony, I could feel my father's deep love. The fact
is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive(感知)the world with our hearts and minds. There's no
doubt that life doesn't lack(缺少)love, but sometimes our
eyes have trouble seeing it.
