Chain of ______
My father and I have been separated for over two years.He was terribly harsh with me throughout my childhood,and.I felt that I couldn't forgive him.And yet,now he is dying,struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube.All I can think of is how much he loved me.
How he would kiss me on the forehead before school.How he bought me roller skates,although we were struggling by on his salary.How he would play chess and tennis with me,and take me to endless chess and tennis matches even though I never won anything.How he would fill in the quick crossword,leave a few clues and praise me if I solved tjye.aim.He kept every article I ever had published,even during our many estranged periods.He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum when my daughter was one year old.And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.
Yet I'm ashamed to say I hated him for everything:my cutting,my anxiety,my depression....He was there during the tough times,yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him,forgetting that the causes of events are complex,and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with strict and pushy parents,too.I even stopped him from seeing my daughter,then three,the person that brought him most happiness,because I was scared he would hurt her,and that her life would be like mine.That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.
Born in 1930s,he was a man of few words,a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine's cards to my mother with only his first initials(姓名的首字母).Knowing he was old,I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right,but my mother said he didn't want to hear from me.I understand that.
It's much too late now.When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand,I ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me,he doesn't.So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him,though it's hard to say the words that I love him very much,and that I'm sorry about the estrangement.And it reminds me of what I've known for a long time:my dad didn't know how to be a father to me when I was young,because his father was harsh to him as a child.
I never thought that I'd feel this broken at losing him.I wish that his eyes will open,even for just a few days.I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things he has helped me and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him.And when I give the letter to him,I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me,so he can see her happiness and sweetness and learn that the chain of hurt has finally been broken.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
