Preface:
What kind of tragedy is hidden behind the death of an 18-year-old in the icy river? Can a father's heartbreak cry awaken our appreciation for life?
On July 23, in Xianning, Hubei Province, a seemingly calm river became a life-devouring demon. An 18-year-old boy should have a bright future like the sun, countless dreams waiting to be realized, and a great youth to splendor freely. But who would have thought that his life would come to an abrupt end like this, and he would stay in this merciless river forever.
On the shore, the child's father sat still, his eyes blank, as if his soul had gone with the child. Every second of waiting seemed like a year to him. His heart must have hurt as if he had been cut by thousands of knives! He may be recalling the child's small appearance when he was born, that soft body, held in his arms as if he had the whole world. The childish voice when the child called his father for the first time seemed to still echo in his ears. When the child staggered and took the first step, his cute and determined appearance filled his heart with joy.
When the child's body was recovered, the father could no longer control himself and rushed towards the child like crazy. His tears flowed like a flood bursting its banks. His cry, full of despair and pain, broke the hearts of everyone present.
We don't have many children in each family now, and they are all baby bumps in the family. As a parent, who doesn't want their children to grow up smoothly and peacefully? Be strict with your children, and that's for the good of your children, so that they can have an easier road in the future. But these children who are not deeply involved in the world, where can they understand the painstaking efforts of their parents? I only feel that there is a little unsatisfactory in my life, so I think about ending my life, but I don't think about how my parents should live when I leave? How selfish this must be!
Although the specific situation will not be clear until the relevant departments report, the grief of the father in front of us has made us empathize. Usually everyone always says that father's love is like a mountain, deep and introverted. Fathers may not be able to talk about love, but at this moment, the father's cry is his deepest expression of love for his children. The cry resounded across both sides of the strait, making everyone who heard it cry.
Let's be honest, how precious life is! Everyone has only one life, and there is no chance to start over. It's a shame that this kid gave up his life so easily, it's so painful. This is also a wake-up call for all of us, we must educate our children well, so that they can understand the preciousness of life, know how to cherish themselves, and cherish the people around them.
Epilogue:
This tragedy is like a mirror that reflects the fragility and preciousness of life. I hope we can all learn something from this, cherish the life in front of us more, care for the people around us, and don't let such a tragedy happen again. Let us use love and responsibility to protect every life, so that every child can grow up healthy and happy under the sun.
