?Filial piety is the first among the five ethical principles in life. Filial piety has been the principle of hundreds of things since ancient times. In terms of filial piety, our parents have given us good examples. Our mother is one of the role models of filial piety among their sisters, and our father is even more of a role model for filial piety among their brothers.
Why do we often say that filial piety comes first? We often hear or say: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to be raised but the kiss does not wait! This is one of the classic quotes in "Han Shi Wai Zhuan".
? My grandfather passed away when I was very young and suffered from hemiplegia. At that time, in the 1990s, the family had no money and the medical level was not that developed. My father has six brothers, and his grandfather and his sixth uncle live together. My father always feels that he owes his grandfather a lot. Because I was far away in Liaoning, I couldn't catch up with my grandfather to see him. In addition, I heard that my grandfather called my father by his nickname when he died. My father had a kind, upright and silent character, and my grandfather always valued his father. So I didn't get to see my grandfather at the end. When my father came back, I lay down in front of my grandfather's mourning hall and cried loudly. I had never seen my father cry before, and he cried so heartbrokenly. That scene was deeply etched in my mind. So my father has always had a problem in his heart. In fact, my father is far away because he still has such a large family to support. Many times in life, many things must be done as a last resort. Now as I grow older, I gradually understand my father's pain, helplessness and self-blame at that time. Now, as I grow older, I gradually understand and appreciate my father's pain, helplessness and self-blame at that time, the true feeling of "a son who wants to be raised but doesn't wait".
Later, grandma also passed away. My father also became more and more kind to my grandmother, and seemed to want to give all his filial piety to the elderly to my grandmother. Grandma is not in good health, and she even visits her more often than mother. Grandma's food is light, while the rest of the family's food is heavy. Every time grandma comes to the house, whoever cooks the food will take it to grandma first, serve it to grandma, and add salt.
? Not long ago, my parents came to Xi'an to attend a gathering of my father's comrades. When I was shopping with my parents, my mother said she had a fever and went with her to the drugstore to buy medicine. After getting the medicine, my mother saw the glucose powder on the shelf next to her and said, "Take this bag and give it to your grandma. She is almost finished." , besides, Xi’an’s granddaughter bought it specially from Xi’an, she will definitely be very happy. After hearing this, I felt warm in my heart, and at the same time, I felt very ashamed. So I reached for three bags.
?Reflecting on myself, I have made a decision for a long time: to call my parents at least three times a week, for at least thirty minutes each time. It seems that I can't do it every week. Filial piety is not about how much money you give. It is hidden in every little thing in life. It may be a bowl of rice, a bag of glucose powder, or a phone call.
