When I was a child, I read "Back" many times, and the teacher asked us to recite it.
In 1925, the modern writer Zhu Ziqing left Nanjing for Peking University, and his father took him to the train station and bought a few oranges.
Just when his father went to buy oranges, his staggering steps and clumsy appearance made Zhu Ziqing feel a lot of emotion, and he immediately understood his father's love, and the festival between father and son disappeared.
Compared to the mother, the father is silent, and the father's love is not so easy to detect. When you realize it, father's love is deeper than mother's love.
If one day, you hate your father and feel that he is incompetent, then pick up the book again and read the three sentences in "Back" to see how the father loves his children.
01
"It's like this, don't be sad, fortunately, there is no endless road": no matter how difficult life is, if it falls on my father, I will bear it.
That year, Zhu Ziqing's grandmother passed away, and his father had no errands, and the family's expenses became larger and his income plummeted.
In order to arrange for his grandmother's burial, his father pawned out the family's belongings and borrowed some money.
After the funeral, the family was destitute, and my father decided to go to Nanjing to find a job.
An elderly father has to run for the livelihood of his family, and it is inevitable that he will be sad when he thinks of making money. But his father reversed and comforted Zhu Ziqing with "the endless road of heaven".
As a father, how can he be willing to let his children bear the pressure of the family?
Maybe somewhere in a corner where no one is around, my father will cry too. But soon, the father will wipe away his tears and go home smiling to give his children the sunniest side.
The father we see is always "bitter but not spoken, happy but not used". That's a concrete manifestation of how he's holding up the pressure.
Go back to your family and look at your father, who always said "don't be afraid, there is me" when life is difficult.
Especially when I went to school and asked for a lot of tuition, my father would say, "It's okay, you can go to school, I have you." ”
When my father spoke, he was very confident. But in places where you can't see, my father carries bricks, picks up mud and sand, grinds snow out of his palms, and wipes it himself.
There are also fathers, for the sake of their children's future, smashing pots and selling iron.
In the countryside, there is always a father, and the only farming cattle can be sold. Give the money you get to pay for your children's tuition. When the children go to school, the father either borrows the ox to plough the land, or he takes up the hoe himself and turns the ground open with a hoe......
Not all fathers have great skills, can open shops, be bosses, and be big officials. More fathers are selling side dishes, farming, working as migrant workers, making screws in factories, and carrying everything in the family in obscurity.
Fathers who have no ability have to raise their children, and they have to pay more and have more valuable spirit than those fathers who have great ability.

"But he finally didn't feel at ease, afraid that the tea room would not be appropriate": No matter how big you are, in the eyes of your father, you are still a child.
Zhu Ziqing and his father went to Nanjing together, his father was going to seek work, and Zhu Ziqing was going to take a train.
Originally, my father said that he would not go to the train station to say goodbye. But my father was not at ease and went to the train station.
For Zhu Ziqing, his father is not at ease, even if Zhu Ziqing is already a twenty-year-old young man, he has many experiences of going out alone.
Father also considered that Zhu Ziqing would starve if he stayed on the train for a long time. So I hurried to buy oranges.
After buying the oranges, my father was still not at ease and said, "I'll write from there."
In the eyes of the father, the child is dozens of years old, still a child, and has not grown up.
In the father's world, the child goes to a big place and how much money he earns, is secondary, and the most important thing is "peace".
When the child travels far away, the father's heart hangs in the balance.
When the child arrived at the destination and sent a message to the father, the father was relieved.
But when it rained heavily and the wind blew, my father's heart hung again. Worry about whether it is safe for children to go to work and whether they will arrive home on time after work.
If on a certain day when the weather is bad, your father doesn't contact you all day, and your father almost breaks down and can't sleep. But my father won't tell you about such anxieties. When it comes to reconnecting with you, your father will just say "yes, yes".
I remember a story about a father who paid attention to the weather forecast in his children's city every day.
Early in the morning, the father sent a message asking his son to bring an umbrella to work.
That afternoon, it rained. Seeing his colleague trapped in the rain and his son with an umbrella made me feel relieved and burst into tears.
Love is like this, interspersed with the trivial things of life, and only those who are attentive will experience it. In most cases, children take it for granted.
A father's heart flows with the back of his children. Where the back of the child is, there is the heart of the father, which never leaves.

"My body is safe, but my arm is in severe pain, lifting a pen and a pen, many inconveniences, and the time is not far away": no matter how bitter old you are, my father will pretend to be relaxed and not let you worry.
When Zhu Ziqing was working in other places, he often wrote to his father.
Most of the time, my father reported good news and not bad news. The father worries about his son, but, in turn, "does not let his son worry about himself."
When my father is old, he will also get sick, but my father is very calm and seems to see through life and death.
The father is old and has no ability to continue to help his children, what he can do is to bear the pain and try not to trouble his children.
If you look closely, you will find that many fathers hold back their "coughing" when they call their children. Or the father coughed and said "I'm fine".
We also see fathers on crutches at junctions to pick up and drop off their children. Along the way, my father walked cautiously, but still straightened. He was reluctant to give his children an image of weakness.
Really, my father was very strong all his life until he could no longer stand up.
It is said that "father's love is like a mountain".
But my father was not a mountain, at most a small mound. It's like an old man who arches his back, goes down, and goes down again.

Someone commented on "Back": "This kind of article, which seems simple and simple on the surface, but can actually generate great emotion, can be used as Mr. Zhu's representative work." ”
Yes, we always stare at those fathers who have a lot of money, a prominent status, and a powerful man, but we forget our father, who has been living at the bottom of society, and can nod to people for three meals a day.
If you see your father taking out low-quality cigarettes and giving them to others in order to find a job, you will know how difficult it is for your father.
If you see the father gritting his teeth to do the hardest and dirtiest work in order to send his children to school, you will know that the father is already working hard.
If you see your father get up lightly in the middle of the night and go to run a taxi, you will know how strong a sense of responsibility your father has.
If you see your father go into the field, put his head down in the wheat, and pull the weeds hard, you will know that your father is not as good as the weeds.
If you see the father take out a few dimes and dollars from his trouser pocket, you will know that the father is very poor, but he still insists on supporting the wealth of his children.
But all kinds of things are the back of the father, and the epitome of the father.
