[交流] Great parents

It's September again . Again , i see the different facial expressions of the parents taking their children to college .
      It's mostly the male parents who perform this duty . Sometimes both parents come . The highly personalized faces which usually differ from each other in a thousand and one ways fade at this moment into each other , and display the same look:fatigue , exhaustion , the timidness and cautionsness of a new comer , and the concernedness and fear that their offspring might be treated unfairly .
      Such long and exhausting journeys over here ! so many complicated and time–consuming peocedures ! They corrode people's elan .The gleefulness and dizziness usually found in "eighteen –year –old youngsters who'vemade it "disappear altogether . close on the heels of their parents , they shuffle from place to place in the campus . To go through one formality , They have to walk long distances and ask many questions of many people , and their parents have to smile politely all the time . everywhere they have to line up and to pay . The sun being blazing , they find themselves perspiring all over . They have to sit by the roadside for a rest and satisfy their thirst by drinking bottled water whose prices soar because of scarcity . no matter how dignified and classy one may look on other days , one has to , for the sake of one's children , humble oneself , put up with inconveniences , and show one's best smiles to find out what to do . i saw a father carrying a huge bed–roll . bent with the heavy burden on his shoulder , he had to strain for a look ahead in order to see the way forward . his son , head hanging low , followed behind with only a small bag . It won't be long before his boy will help the girls with their bags .
       i also saw a father and son coming near hand in hand from the fork of a road . a mere glance told me that they are from one of the poor rural areas . both wore cheap T–shirts and crew–cuts . even smaller in build , the old man has graying hair and a tan . an arrogant taxi sped towards them and was on the point of knocking down the oldster . The poor man quickly jumped aside . It was a near escape . then , only then , was he separated from his son . when the car shot past , they joined hands again , continued on their way , each being the other's support.
       The sight nearly brought tears to my eyes .

昨日相思又失意,  今日分离,  明日相聚。  你的施舍,是我的获得。  我的施舍,又是你的索取。  “爱情”的含意,  囊括了人世间的悲喜
