Once upon a time, there was a middle-aged couple who were very disobedient to their elderly parents. They drove the old man to live in a dilapidated hut and gave him some unpalatable food in a small wooden bowl at every meal. . One day, they saw their son carving a piece of wood, and asked the child what he was carving. The child said: "Wooden bowl, it will be useful when you are older." At this time, the middle-aged couple suddenly realized that they had to carve a wooden bowl. His parents invited him to live with him in the main house. They threw away the small wooden bowl and gave the old man the most delicious food from the family. As a result, the child also changed his attitude towards them, and from then on, the three generations of the family lived in harmony.
I have read many stories about celebrities honoring their parents, such as: saving their mother from a burning fire, saving their mother by sucking phlegm... The story that moved me the most was the story of "Chen Yi visiting his mother".
In 1962, Marshal Chen Yi returned from a visit abroad. He passed by his hometown and took time to visit his old mother who was seriously ill.
Chen Yi’s mother is paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of herself. When Chen Yi entered the house, the mother was very happy. Just as she was about to say hello to her son, she suddenly remembered that the diaper she had changed was still beside the bed, so she motioned to the people around her to hide it under the bed.
Chen Yi was very excited when he saw his mother after a long absence. He stepped forward to hold her mother's hand and asked this and that with concern. After a while, he said to his mother: "Mom, what did you hide under the bed when I came in?" Her mother couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth. After hearing this, Chen Yi hurriedly said: "Mom, you have been bedridden for a long time, and I can't be by your side. I feel very sad. I should wash these pants, why hide them." The mother was very embarrassed after hearing this, and the people next to her quickly washed them. I took out the diapers and rushed to wash them. Chen Yi hurriedly stopped and said emotionally: "Mom, you washed my diapers countless times when I was a child. Even if I wash 10 diapers today, I still can't repay your kindness in raising me!" After saying that, Chen Yi said The diapers and other dirty clothes were washed cleanly, and my mother smiled happily.
Marshal Chen Yi is a big shot and has a busy official schedule, but he never forgets his old mother at home. He took time out of his busy schedule to go home to visit his mother who was paralyzed in bed, wash her diapers, and comfort her sick mother with warm words of concern. Although what Marshal Chen Yi did for his mother were just trivial things that were extremely ordinary, these trivial things showed his deep love for his mother. He never forgets everything his mother has done for him, understands his mother's hardships and difficulties, and knows how to repay his mother for her kindness in raising him. His filial piety is worth learning and emulating by all children in the world.
Honoring, caring, and helping parents are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. They are precious spiritual wealth passed down by our ancestors. They are the obligations and unshirkable responsibilities of every child. Parents' kindness is as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea. Never forget your parents' kindness in life. Friends, do we honor our parents? What did we give them?
In fact, parents really don’t want much. All they need is our filial piety and care, and they hope that we will lend a helping hand when needed.
When your parents were still young and strong, you would often go home to visit and say a casual greeting, "Mom, Dad, how are you?" Buy a late-night snack and cook a home-cooked dinner yourself. , go shopping with their mother, chat about household chores, rub their father's back and rub his shoulders... These can make them feel happy and warm.
As time goes by, we gradually grow up, but our parents are getting older and older. They have become dim-eyed, slow in movement, clumsy in limbs, slow in thinking, and have no memory. They forget to say what they have said, repeat themselves, nag, and even suffer from Alzheimer's disease, like a three-year-old child. When talking, they will suddenly not be able to remember what to say, and may even forget what to do in the end; they will repeat the stories and children's songs they taught us again and again, and indulge in those carefree moments with us. In the memories of carefree childhood! They often forget to button their buttons and tie their shoes; they stain their clothes when eating, and their hands shake when they comb their hair; sometimes they feel lonely and look into the distance.
Seeing our parents aging slowly, we should think of everything our parents did for us when we were children: how many diapers our parents took the trouble to wash for us, and spent a lot of time and energy teaching us to eat slowly with spoons and chopsticks; Teach us to tie shoelaces, button buttons, and slide; teach us to wear clothes and comb our hair; teach us to recite nursery rhymes every day, and rack our brains to answer weird questions that come out of nowhere. At that time, my parents were so patient and gentle in doing this. They always felt that having us was a blessing no matter how hard or tiring they were.
Friends, people often say that it is most difficult to repay the kindness of parents. May we treat our aging parents patiently and tenderly as our parents treated us when we were children, be considerate of them, honor our parents with a heart of repayment, and be filial to our parents with a heart of gratitude! Even if we only change clothes for our parents, feed them food and soup, apply rheumatism oil to our parents, massage their sore backs, hold their parents' hands, and help them walk slowly step by step... let us parents spend the rest of their lives happily. Learn from Marshal Chen Yi, honor your parents and create a harmonious family full of love for them to enjoy their old age. That is the happiness of the parents and our happiness.
