Xinzhou Middle SchoolWritten by Zhang Tianliang

My dear friends, have you ever seen the film “ My Siblings”? If you saw ,do you want to know another “film” --------“My Father and Mother”?

I come from a faraway small village of Jingshan, Hubei province .My father and mother are both farmers, of course ,I’m the son of farmers.Mr Deng said “I am the son of Chinese people,I love my country and the people deeply.” Like what Deng said , I love my parents deeply.

My young friends, especially for our young students, some of us are not willing to talk about our parents, just because they are farmers who we think are in the bottom rung and we think are the most useless people. In our morden society ,yes, most of us have been the son of farmers when we were born.But it’s just right that these farmers bring up us. They are our parents , our father and mother .We should say we love our parents justly and forcefully, can you ?

In my middle school time ,my school was in the another city ,so I could only go home in summer holidays and winter holidays. I always complained that the holidays were too short. The day when I should get back to school was coming , I always was hustled by my mother , she said I must study hard for my beautiful tomorrow. I haven’t known what had happened after I left home until now. I heard my mother always cried silently and she was not brisk for days after I left home. Today ,when I get back to school, she still sees me off rushing to catch buses in early morning no matter what the weather like. She tells me that she will insist on seeing me off forever if she can.

In last summer holiday ,my farther and mother changed their old conceptions a little that they still looked upon me as a child. Frankly speaking, our parents always regard us as children in their mind no matter how old you are. I became a teacher, my parents told me : “ You must teach carefully, because you are paid by the goverment . You must deal with whatever things you do well in your life .No one wants to entrust his children to a unconscientious teacher……” obviously they wished me to make greater progress.

Our parents are getting older and older ,don’t you pay attention to more and more silvery hair is climbing upward quietly? In contrast, boys are becoming stronger and stronger , girls are becoming more and more beautiful.when we were children, our parents were our shadow ,after growing up, we are our parents’ shadow. We are the continuity of their life.

My dear friends, when you walk in the roads of campus with your girlfriend intimately,have you ever thought about alloting a little solicitude for your father and mother; when you play with your classmates happily in the open field, have you ever thought about distributing a little happiness for your father and mother ; when you are eating delicious food jubilantly with your friends, have you ever thought about dividing a little delicacies for your father and mother? …… when you are in alien land,have you ever remebered your parents like what they do?

Maby you say we having nothing to repay, yes, we really have nothing to repay.We just have good grades,we just have enthusiasm, obedience, health ,smile and maturity.

我的父亲母亲

———点亮心烛读后感

新洲中心学校张天亮

冬天的夜暗得很早，也很冷，躺在床上，手头捧着这本由王玺局长主编，曾宪云先生捐资刊印的《点亮心烛》，徜徉在文字之间，似乎也不是那么冷了。读到《亲情的力量》这篇文章中“亲情是一种力量，是一种比爱更持久，更内敛而更热烈的力量。”处，身在异乡，想起参加工作一年来的生活，感触良多，写下了下面的文字。

————题记

我亲爱的朋友，你曾经看过〈〈我的兄弟姐妹〉〉着这部电影吗？如果你看过，你是否还想看另外一部电影——〈〈我的父亲母亲〉〉呢？

我来自湖北京山的一个遥远的小山村，我的父亲母亲都是农民，当然，我是农民的儿子。邓小平同志说“我是中国人民的儿子，我深深地爱着我的祖国和人民。”诚如他所说的，我深深地爱着我的父亲母亲。

我的年轻的朋友，特别是对我们年轻的学生来说，我们中的一些不愿谈论我们的父母，仅仅因为他们是我们认为的处在最底层和在这个社会最没用的农民。在我们的现代社会里，是的，我们中的大多数人出生时曾经是农民的儿子，但是，正是这些农民抚养我们长大，他们是我们的父母，我们的父亲母亲。我们应该理直气壮地说我们爱我们的父亲母亲！你能吗？

在我的中学时代，因为我的学校在另外一个陌生的城市，所以我只能在寒暑假回家。我总是抱怨假期太短，返校的日子越来越近了，直到我的母亲用棍子赶着才罢，她说我必须为了我的美好的将来而努力学习。直到现在，我仍然不很清楚知道在我离开家后发生了什么。我听说母亲在我离开后总是默默地哭和一连好几天不舒服。今天，当我返校的时候，无论天气怎么样她仍然都送我跑着去赶早班车。她说如果能的话她会永远坚持送我。

去年夏天，我的父母稍稍改变了他们仍然把我看作孩子的老观念。坦率地说，在我们父母眼里，无论你多大，他们总把你看成孩子。我成为了一名教师，我的父母告诉我：“你必须认真教书，因为你拿着国家的工资。你必须处理好在生活中你做的任何事情，没有人想把孩子托付给一位不负责任的教师……”显然,他们期望我取得更大的进步。

我们的父母变得越来越老，难道你没有注意到正在悄悄向上爬的越来越多的白发吗？对比之下，男孩们变得越来越强壮，女孩们变得越来越美丽。当我们是孩子时，父母是我们的影子；我们长大后，我们是父母的影子，我们是他们生命的延续！

我的亲爱的朋友，当你和女友亲密地走在校园的小道上时，你是否想到分一点关心给你的父母呢；当你和你的同学开心地在外面玩时，你是否想到匀一份欢乐给你的父母呢；当你和你的朋友开怀畅饮时，你是否想到舀一勺佳肴给你的父母呢……当你在异乡时，你是否像他们想你一样想念他们呢？

也许你说我们没有什么去回报，是的，我们确实没有什么去回报的，我们只有好好工作学习，我们只有热情、服从、健康、微笑和成熟！
