Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his   36  to let my mother   37   her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the   38  . One evening, our father came home and there was no   39  , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as   40   as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.
  41   I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not   42   us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he   43   and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he   44   to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children   45   .
My father did not eat and had   46   all day but he sat there and felt   47   at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my   48  . At that moment, I felt   49   knowing that he tried his best not to let us   50  , and he wanted us to know he was always there with us.
In   51   times, I think, it is important not to   52   weakness but strength.   53   the mother is the cement(黏合剂)that   54  a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and   55   that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.
