I am fine now, thank God: because first, the thief stole my things without harming my life; second, the thief He only stole some of my things, not all of them; thirdly, the most fortunate thing is that he was the thief, not me. "For any person, theft is definitely a misfortune, but Roosevelt found out. Three reasons to be grateful.

Example 2: Han Xin, the general who helped Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty conquer the world, was in a very difficult situation when he failed to succeed. At that time, he often went fishing under the city, hoping that with good luck, he could solve his life. However, this is not a reliable method after all, so you often go hungry. Fortunately, in the place where he often fished, there were many drifters (old ladies who clean silk cotton wool or old clothes) working by the river. One of them sympathized with Han Xin's plight, so she kept helping him and giving him money. Eat. In the midst of hardships and hardships, Han Xin received the kindness of his mother who could barely survive with her hands through hard work. He was very grateful to her and told her that he would repay her heavily in the future.

Later, Han Xin made a lot of contributions to the King of Han and was named the King of Chu. He remembered that he had received favors from Piao's mother in the past, so he ordered his servants to send her food and wine, and even gave her a thousand taels of gold to thank her. This is the origin of the idiom "One meal makes a thousand gold".

Example 3: During the Revolutionary War, in Ruijin, Jiangxi, the Red Army dug a well for the local people to draw sweet springs.

Last year, during the Nanning Film Festival, whenever Ge and his son appeared together, people would see Ge You holding his father's arm carefully. Unlike his father who held his head high, he always lowered his head, as if he was always in a hurry. Listen to your father’s teachings. Ge You also often said: "Filial piety is the most important obligation for children. People who are not filial to their parents are worse than animals."

"Mr. Hawking, Lou Gehrig's disease has permanently fixed you in a wheelchair. Don't you think that fate has deprived you of many options?" After an academic report, a reporter asked the mathematics master this question question. The master's face was full of smiles. After tapping the keyboard with difficulty with his three movable fingers, the above four paragraphs of text appeared on the display.

Three fingers and a thinking brain are the only moving parts of Hawking's body. What else does this fighter of life, this wise hero, rely on besides his superhuman will? It relies on love and high technology. Without the care of those who loved him, Lou Gehrig's disease would not have allowed him to live to this day. Perhaps he died at the beginning of his illness. Ostrovsky could not move his whole body, but he could speak, so he was able to complete his masterpiece orally. The masterpiece "A Biography of Liu Rushi" by the master of Chinese historian Chen Yinke and the masterpiece "New History of Chinese Philosophy" by the famous philosopher Feng Youlan were also "written entirely by dictation" when the authors were blind or unable to see clearly. "Come out.

But Hawking only has three weakly movable fingers and a pair of dumb eyes. Without a computer, how can he express his thoughts? Can he still use his wisdom? Without advanced medicine, how could he always move his three movable fingers? Without strong financial support, how could his three weak fingers produce great knowledge? The joy of success and the halo of victory often make people forget themselves, but we should never forget those who have helped us.

So, this man who can now face life with pride, after answering the reporter's question, he typed the fifth sentence with difficulty: "By the way, I still have one." A grateful heart! ”

As a last resort, he had no choice but to eat "free food" at other people's homes. For this reason, I often get cold looks from others. Han Xin couldn't swallow this breath, so he went fishing by the Huaihe River, trading fish for food, and was often hungry and full.

There is an old woman on the edge of the Huai River who rinses gauze wadding for others, and she is known as "Floating Mother".

Zaozhuang: Two hundred and four coughs interpret the story of filial piety

This is a true story that happened in a village in Xuzhuang Town, Shanting District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province. "Oh...cough..." On January 15, during dinner, Xuzhuang Town government cadre Yin Yanwen was eating with his family. His father suddenly coughed. He put down his rice bowl, turned away, and covered his face with his hands. Shut up, he coughed a few times, and said to his son and daughter-in-law with some embarrassment: "Look, I choked when I ate." Then he got up, took his clothes and went back to the old house in the village to rest.

Yin Yanwen’s wife borrowed money to open a pig farm. During the day, his father helped them mix ingredients, feed pigs, and do other odd chores. In the evening, my grandfather and I finished their meal at the pig farm and then went home to sleep. After dinner, the first snow of 2004 began to fall in the Lunan area, and Old Man Yin walked back through the snow.

In the middle of the night, Yin Yanwen's wife told her husband: "Hey, our dad has been coughing for several days. It's not because he choked on food, but he may have other diseases." Yin Yanwen said: "It's his trachea Did Yan's old habit come back? "When Yin Yanwen got up, put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and put his coat on his body, his wife asked him, "It's so late, where are you going?" Yin Yanwen said. "You go to bed first, I'll go to the village to see our father." It was windy outside, so Yin Yanwen put his hands in his coat, stamped his feet, and walked towards the village. Along the way, Yin Yanwen was thinking that after his mother passed away, his father had been living in the house deep in the village. After working hard to bring him up, now he can live up to his expectations, his wife is also very capable, and life is getting better day by day, so his father should be very satisfied.

Yin Yanwen walked to the old locust tree in front of the house and heard his father coughing violently. The coughing gradually subsided after a while, as if he fell asleep. Yin Yanwen wanted to stay with his father for a while, and was about to call the door, but was afraid of waking his father up, so he finally had a peaceful sleep, so he didn't disturb him.

Yin Yanwen decided to stand at the door for a while. Yin Yanwen remembered that when his mother had just passed away, someone introduced a partner to his father. His father looked at the two children and sighed: "I'll be the one to pull them up!" Decades later, his sister got married, and he He also got married, and the old father was left alone. The Chinese New Year was coming soon that year, and everyone was preparing New Year’s goods, including some fried foods. His father went out to work and did not come back. He and his sister were waiting at the entrance of the village. One day, when his father came back covered in snowflakes, he saw the two children staying under the big tree, and his tears suddenly fell. My father didn't know how to make other people's fried New Year's goods. The salt hadn't melted yet. As soon as the vegetables were put into the pot, they made a sizzling noise and splashed with large pieces of oil. The fried vegetables were half-cooked. My father was afraid of wasting it, so he ate it all. As a result, the wind and cold caused him to suffer from bronchitis, which he has not had in the past few years.

Since setting up a pig farm, he has been working with him all day long, but he often hides his illness for fear that he will worry about him. Thinking of this, Yin Yanwen couldn't bear to disturb his father, so he stood at the door and listened to his father sleeping. After a while, my father started coughing again, and for some reason it became worse and worse. The coughs were like hammers hitting his son's heart: "One, two, three..." Yin Yanwen counted silently in his heart. After coughing for a while, his father felt better, and Yin Yanwen felt a little more at peace. After a while, his father's cough sounded again, "Fifty, fifty-one, fifty-three..." As Yin Yanwen counted, tears flowed down involuntarily. His feet were frozen, so he walked gently in the snow. When he counted to the 190th time, it was almost dawn before he knew it. After a while, his father got up. Yin Yanwen opened the door and asked his father, "Dad, how did you sleep all night?" His father smiled and said, "Okay, I slept until dawn. Why are you so early?" Are you here?" Yin Yanwen couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

He said to his father: "Dad, we have nothing to do today. I will accompany you to the County People's Hospital to see a doctor."

Yin Yanwen finished telling us this story with tears in his eyes. He said: "I honor my parents." You will never give as much as your parents! As the New Year approaches, you must pay more attention to the lives of the elderly and don’t let them spend the New Year alone!

Huang Tingjian, a native of Fenning (now Xiushui, Jiangxi) in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a famous poet and calligrapher.
