Do you still remember this father and daughter? They took photos together in the same place for 40 consecutive years. How are they doing now?

The greatest thing in the world is the unconditional love of parents for their children. They always lend a helping hand when you need it most and give you the best they can from the time you are born. No matter how old you are, you will always be the cutest child in their eyes. No matter how far away you are, they will always care about you, so the sages said: "If your parents are here, you will have to travel well if you don't travel far away." However, in a modern society with convenient transportation, sometimes we have to leave. Parents are far away.

What we are going to tell today is the story between a father and his daughter. At Taying Lake in 1980, Hua Yunqing took his wife and daughter who had just turned one year old to play by the lake. There, he asked his wife to take the first photo of him and his daughter. At this time the next year, he came again with his wife and daughter. He remembered that when she was one year old, she was still so small and cute, but now she has grown so big in just one year. Time flies so quickly, so he decided to take photos here with his daughter every year to record her growth moments.

Now, 40 years have passed since 1980, and there are 40 photos taken at Taying Lake. These group photos record the happiness and beautiful family relationship between the two people, as well as the aging of the father and the growth of the daughter after leaving him behind in the fleeting years. His photos were widely circulated on the Internet as early as 15 years ago, making countless people lament that time is fleeting.

During the span of 40 years, Hua Yunqing has experienced countless separations. In 1998, his daughter left him to study in Japan. He originally thought that the separation would be short-lived, but he never thought that his daughter would stay there forever.

After she went to Japan, she fell in love with a Japanese classmate, and then married that classmate. Although I often think of my only daughter, fortunately, I still have my wife by my side. Unfortunately, his wife died in a car accident in 2009. From then on, he lived alone.

Perhaps living alone is unbearable to many people, but he does not think so. He likes photography, so he often travels. This also gives Hua Yunqing a lot of fun and makes him no longer so lonely and bored. The scenery on the road is always fresh, and there are still so many places he has never visited. Hua Yunqing's friends often invite him to play when they know he is alone. His daughter had repeatedly persuaded him to go to Japan to live with her, but he still couldn't leave his homeland, so he never went. Gradually, he got older and was often in poor health. Once he suffered severe pain from gallstones, but there was no one around him. Fortunately, a friend came to visit him and he was able to escape. Later, Hua Yunqing often thought that if her daughter was around, this situation would not happen. However, his daughter has her own family and is unable to take care of him. Basically, the only way to see each other is for a photo appointment once a year.

There are many only children in China. When the children grow up, they have to consider the situation of being alone in the future. Because there is only one child, most parents focus on their children. When their children grow up, their lives will inevitably have to be rearranged, and most of their energy will have nowhere to put it when their children leave. You will often feel lonely.

And those only children also have a huge burden. When their significant other is also an only child, the pressure is even greater. Both parents need support and care, which can also lead to family discord. After all, the life concepts between young people and their parents are very different, and parents are used to taking care of their children, and they will not let go of their children even when they grow up. Furthermore, when parents get old, they will have various ailments and aches, which require long-term medication. If the elderly do not have retirement wages, etc., it will cause great financial pressure on their children. A serious illness will make a poor family even worse, and it will also increase the mental pressure of the children. After all, they will be very worried when their parents are sick. In addition to these, the life of an only child will be more difficult to maintain after having children, and money will be spent everywhere.

As a parent, you definitely don’t want to see your children living so tiringly. So what should they do to reduce the burden on their children?

First of all, you must save more money when you are young. Even if you have children to support when you are old, there may be some emergencies, such as serious illness, that make your children unable to repay high medical expenses. Moreover, after you have your own savings, you don’t have to rely on your children to buy everything. When you want to travel, you can just leave. Secondly, after children have their own lives, they become independent and no longer need their parents to bother them, otherwise it will destroy each other's feelings and make them feel bored.

Summary

Parents and children should tolerate and understand each other. Perhaps Hua Yunqing in the article was not so happy in his later years, but he was able to understand his daughter and did not cause trouble to her. This is a typical example of father's boundless love. Of course, children should also try not to be too far away from their parents, so that they can be taken care of easily and avoid having no one to take care of them when they are sick. Everyone must know how to be grateful and repay their parents in order to live up to the kindness of raising them.
