Is my father's life a helpless joke and a poor tragedy?

"Father always feels that the steps of our family are low." Is it because "the hometown is low in terrain and the foundation of the house is high, so it is not easy to get into the water"? In fact, three steps are waterproof enough. The high steps indicate the high status of the master. This is the recognized value standard of the neighbors, which has been the case since ancient times. The house is used for living, and it is also used to show the difference in grades. The author does not use "house" or "new house", but uses "steps" as the title of the article, precisely to show his father's pursuit and predicament. On the first step, it is full of the desire and struggle of the little people at the bottom. As the reading tip at the end of the article says: For father, footsteps are not only his material expectation, but also his spiritual pursuit. The meaning and value of father's life are defined by high steps. If I can't build a new house with high steps in my life, my father will feel like a complete failure.
