Kneel for a "letter from home" speech

Moderator: Today is the first day of 2006. The staff representative column says hello to the audience who pay attention to the program. Lunar New Year is a good time to express feelings and convey ideas. Send text messages and call. Have you ever thought about writing a letter home? Today we are going to talk about letters from home.

Dear parents: Hello! It's been nearly half a semester since I left, and I believe your yearning for me has lasted for half a century.

Dear Mom and Dad: Hello! Everything is fine here. I am twenty years old and can take care of myself. I hope you won't miss it. But how can you not care?

Dear Mom and Dad: Hello! How time flies! We haven't seen each other for months. Please forgive my son's unfilial behavior. I seldom write to you in my memory. This time, the college called on everyone to write home, and I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you.

Moderator: The books I just read to you are letters written to parents by students from the School of Environment and Life, Dalian University of Technology. Writing home is a recent activity organized by the college, and the theme of writing home is gratitude to parents.

Mom and Dad: Hello, I haven't contacted my family for a long time. How is your family? Mom, have you started peeling oysters? Remember to wear gloves, or your hands will be covered with wounds. This is a letter from Zou, a sophomore, to his parents. This is the first time that she has written home since she went to college for two years.

At the same time: girl in blue: the college does not organize this activity. I'm afraid I really can't write it without reminding me. I don't have this idea.

Zou comes from rural Dalian. Her father is in poor health, and his mother supports him at home and abroad. In order to supplement the family, every winter, Eddie Cheung's mother would get up early and go to the city to sell oysters.

During the same period: middle-aged women: pick, pick two barrels to sell.

Reporter: How old are these two barrels?

Middle-aged women: more than 80 kg.

Reporter: More than 80 kilograms? Can you choose?

Middle-aged woman: If I am angered, I will pick it and sell it myself.

Middle-aged woman: Get up at four in the morning.

Zou's home is only 80 kilometers from Dalian. Usually, as a tutor, she always cares about learning to make money. She seldom goes home. Even though my mother sells oysters in the city every day, the mother and daughter have only seen them once. Maybe she is used to her mother's hard work. Eddie Cheung said that she didn't care much about this before, and she didn't say anything comforting and caring to her mother. In her letter, she wrote about meeting her mother not long ago.

Mom, I went to see you last time you came to Dalian to sell oysters. I saw you wearing my old high school clothes, with a big plastic bucket in your hand and a scarf around your head. Mom, can't you see my eyes are full of tears? I thought at that time, when I made money, I would buy you clothes that fit me. Mom, my daughter is too stupid to express her feelings. I'm sorry to see you working hard from morning till night.

Meanwhile: Middle-aged woman: Oh, I don't understand. I stopped looking at it at a glance. I'll see it when I think about it.

Reporter: Why don't I understand?

Middle-aged woman: I am so sad and touched. It's true. I wear children's clothes, but I haven't bought any clothes.

Because of the poor family life, Zou's college education depends entirely on borrowing money. In this case, the mother always feels indebted to her children. On one occasion, Eddie Cheung ate very little, which made her mother unbearable. She is worried that her children will blame their parents for their incompetence. But at that time, Eddie Cheung failed to understand her mother's feelings.

During the same period: Girl in Blue: I got a loan, and then my parents felt sorry for me. I don't understand this aspect. I have to understand this. I can eat anything my mother cooks.

In her letter, Zou explained to her mother that she never blamed her parents for the loan.

At the same time: Middle-aged woman: I read it and know that this child is old and sensible. To tell the truth, I am also sad.

Reporter: Aunt, do you still have this letter?

Middle-aged woman: Here, I sometimes take a look. I came to see it today, and so did my neighbors.

Reporter: I also showed it to my neighbors.

Middle-aged woman: Well, I am very happy. I want to see it when I feel uncomfortable. I want to cry when I see it.

Meanwhile: Girl in Blue: I always feel that I am grateful to my parents. After I started working, when I made money, I told them not to work too hard. I told them to rest at home. I thought it was a kind of gratitude. I don't think now is the time to say those words. Actually, now think about it. Usually, it's best to say more words of concern.

There are four people in Zou's dormitory. She said that she envied an ex-roommate, because when people call mom, they will naturally say thank you, mom and dad, and I love you. But this roommate told us that she actually tried to do this after she went to college. She didn't think carefully about her parents' kindness before.

At the same time: pink sweater: I think it is normal for my mother to love me, because she can't love others. She has no choice, so she is lonely.

The girl who envied Zou said that she didn't take part in the activity of writing letters to her family because she always insisted on writing letters to her family.

At the same time: pink sweater: My mother said that this most traditional way is the easiest way to express feelings.

Reporter: Is it easier to write many things that cannot be expressed orally on paper?

Pink sweater: My mother wanted to send me a letter, but they all found it overweight. But how can these thick things be typed on the mobile phone? I'm sure they can't be typed Even in their generation, even if they can use QQ and email, those things are particularly unreal. If you say it face to face on the phone, it won't be as good as it is expressed, so I think writing a letter once in a while will bring people closer.

At the same time: Tingting: Little things, this is the leader, and there is a second leader.

Reporter: Dad is the second leader.

Tingting: They are all leaders, but they all listen to me.

Reporter: Does the leader still listen to you?

Tingting: I belong to the main leader.

Compared with Zou, people who grew up in the city have less burden of life and more love. Although she goes home every week, she still wrote a letter to her parents in this activity.

Letter: I haven't seen you for another week, and I'm homesick again. I miss my father's hot casserole tofu and the stew he cooked for me last week ... What Zhang Tingting wrote in her letter is all the bits and pieces of life: when the weather is cold, her mother asked her to add clothes, and her father patiently comforted her when she failed in the exam ... She carefully described her parents' selfless dedication in her letter, even though she knew that her parents' love could not be counted clearly by numbers anyway.

During the same period: reporter: you just said that mom and dad have paid so much for you every time. Have you ever cared? Do you feel it?

White sweater: I used to be in high school or junior high school. I think my parents are very kind to me, and it is right for parents to love their children. Especially for only children like us, parents put their love on you alone. I can't believe what I would do if one more person, a brother and sister, shared this love with me.

White sweater: I felt it later. Really, I always want to say thank you, or I love you, but I can't say it every time. I don't know why I want to say: Mom, let me wash your feet once. But I can't seem to talk. I think so in my heart, but I can't say it.

"Mom and Dad, thank you, thank you for your tolerance, thank you for your selfless love in the past 20 years", and the unspeakable gratitude finally found its place in a letter from home. Shortly thereafter, Zhang Tingting, who had never been exposed to needle and thread, learned to knit a scarf for his father.

At the same time: Mom: She may have saved the living expenses for her father. People ask you who this scarf is for, for my dad and for your dad. Would you? This is my first novel. Is it really for your father? Not a boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend. She doesn't have a boyfriend. I teased her that she was not a boyfriend. I didn't. I knitted it for my father. It's really noisy.

Reporter: Aunt, then you didn't ask her, why didn't you knit one?

Glasses woman: Yes, I asked at that time. I said I was still knitting a sweater for your father. I'm afraid what I knit for you will be knitted for me. I said, what happened? I am not good at it. I'll knit it for you when I'm finished.

Reporter: Will she knit one for you to wear?

Glasses woman: Can I not wear it? Absolutely. Why? As soon as I see the scarf, I think of the child.

Parents may never care about their contribution to their children, but a little reward from their children, even a little understanding, may be remembered by parents for a lifetime.

At the same time: Reporter: Auntie, just now I mentioned that children give you gifts, scarves and lipsticks, including writing letters to you. If she thanked you, which gift would you rather receive than this lipstick?

Glasses woman: I want to receive this letter from her. Sometimes I think about it, sometimes I think about it, and sometimes I am really touched. I sometimes read this letter, especially when she is not at home.

Reporter: How many times have you read this letter?

Glasses woman: I've seen it several times. Sometimes when I watch it, I don't want to watch it in front of the old people. Sometimes I cry when I look at it.

Reporter: I cry every time I watch it.

Glasses woman: Yes, I think the child has grown up. She has a better return than anything else, and she understands it very well.

Moderator: Organize students to write letters of thanks to their parents. Some people may find this activity a bit artificial. Even these children who wrote letters did not expect that their parents would be so excited and happy when they saw such a letter from home.

Liaison: That's right. In the film, Zou's mother and her mother both regard letters from home as treasures. I take it out from time to time and can't help crying every time I look at it. On the platform, an audience with the mobile phone number of 8423 sent a text message saying: Perhaps many of us will think that the best way to repay our parents is to wait until we earn money in the future and be able to buy this and that for our parents and provide them with a high quality of life. But we all ignore that a greeting, a thank you and a "I love you, Mom and Dad" on weekdays are the best rewards for them.

Moderator: For example, this audience mentioned the phrase "Mom and Dad, I love you". Now I especially want to ask you in front of the TV. Have you said this to your parents in the past year? It is estimated that most people's answer is no, and our reporter also made a survey of 100 students in Dalian University of Technology during the interview. The results show that 99% of students want to express their gratitude to their parents, but less than 40% actually do so. As for the reasons for not expressing, 34% children feel unaccustomed; 28% children feel that psychological understanding is self-evident; 14% children don't know how to express it, and 9% children think it will make their parents feel strange.
