I never saw my father home from work late or ill,nor did I ever see my father take a"night out with the boys".He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years,since I left home for college,my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.He was always interested in my life-how my family was doing.The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia,England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought me first house,my father,67 years old,spent eight hours a day for three days,painting my house.He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done.All he asked was a glass of iced tea,and that I held a paintbrush for him and talked to him.But I was too busy,for I had a law practice to run,and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush,or talk to my father.
Five years ago,my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千)for my daughter.Again,all he asked was that I got him a glass of iced tea,and talked to him.But again,I had laundry to do,and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday,January 16,1995,my father telephoned me as usual,this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before.I had to get to church,and I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 a.m.That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida.I got on a plane immediately,and I vowed (that when I arrived,I would make up for the lost time,and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.I arrived in Florida at 1:00 a.m,but my father had passed away at 9:12 p.m.This time it was he who did not have time to talk,or time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father,and even more about every single day.

3.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.
