About My Grandma
After the Lunar New Year, the people got back to work. Before I go to school, I went to police office to go through the formality of my grandma’s passport. I read the expired passport and found my grandma was 74 years old.
While people are becoming older and older, more and more illnesses accompany. Before I went to university, I felt that grandma’s health was getting worse and worse. Then, I just could try best to take care of her, including her feelings. I didn’t know what else.
In the winter holiday, I found that she became lonely. Grandpa died 14 years before; Aunt Shaoping moved to Taishan after her marriage, and went to another sphere of this planet --- the United States; Uncle Hong left home for the conflict between Grandpa and him, and he comes back home once several months; She worried about my father more than my father worried about her; Her relationship with my mother is bad; I… What can I do? In other people’s eyes, I am a grateful son. I, however, could never understand a person 53 years older than I. I just can call back home once a week and talk with her. How could I get deep into her heart?
Sociologists believe the young have the tendency to leave their origins, while the old are just opposite. I felt that grandma was stepping forwards into a bottomless black holes and I could never catch up with her no matter how hard I try. Maybe, it is just the opposite.
About Uncle Hong
Uncle Hong is near 50 years old now, but remained a bachelor. He still can take care of himself now, but when he becomes old, doesn’t have the ability to do it, and there is no one supporting. How miserable!
Uncle Hong always believes, a man should make his achievement, and then go to marry. He may be at the peak of his career, so the professional career is his biggest priority. He is so busy that has to have the meetings all through the years at a lot of places. Apparently, he has no time for the love stuff. Every time grandma refers to this, he becomes very annoyed. Finally, grandma doesn’t know what to do about it.
He has no child, but he regards me as his son all the time. In my childhood, Uncle Hong means happiness. He bought a lot of things to me and played with me happily. When I came to be a college student, he’d like to discuss business things with me. I am not interested in business, and my interest has lied on arts.
Bachelors’ apartments are usually lousy. Although he often eats outside with his friends or business partners, he lacks nutrition. When comes to summer or winter vacation, I will go to his apartment with my grandma and live there for about a week long. Through this, we can tidy his apartment and provide nutrition supply in his diet. We planned to go there, but I gave up for my leg inflammation.
I think he won’t marry, so when he becomes old, I ought to take care of him. However, I also think he will reject my tend for his dignity.
About my father
My father’s health improves this several years.
He was keen to know everything about the domestic economic circumstances. He has learned a lot about it from the newspapers and magazines. I think he is capable of writing some articles for the newspapers or something. Although he is not a member of CPC, his faith of socialism is very pure. I know many people have different opinions with him, especially on the bribery issues in China. He still firmly insists. I think I can understand him. In this society, which is running very fast, and in which the desire of the people keeps inflating, people become less and less patient. Hence, to stick to one’s faith is very hard, and the man is venerable.
In this winter holiday, I found he didn’t like hanging out. He preferred staying at home and watching news programs. Sometimes, he played with my sister joyfully. When a lot of people of his age are enjoying the worldly entertainments, he has already left them. This is also happiness. How many people can find what they really need? How many of them can do what they’d like to do? How many people of his age can make themselves happy as he is making?
My mother
In this vacation, I talked a lot with my mother. I think I am not an able-talking person, and I had cardio-talk with her once two or three days. She always complained I talk little to her. In order to make contrast, she told me that, her colleague’s son talked a lot to his mother, and the talking lasted for several hours. In fact, compared with Grandma, Uncle Hong and Father, I did most of talking with her. However, I understood her and accompanied her as much as I can.
A teacher said the non-philosophical majors’ aim of learning philosophy is to think more in an overall way. I learned and gained much. In the vacation, I found that mother was having a hard spiritual life. She kept a lot of sorrows in mind. She could put it down and let it go. Maybe she needs faith. It’s impossible for this traditional Chinese woman to be baptized. I didn’t know what to do about it.
Mother’s health became worse in this several years. She got hypertension, which is unusual to appear in her age. She was scared of it and got insomnia sometimes.
I hope Mother can live happy, maybe I should begin to do something.
About My Sister
My sister is four. She is so naughty that once there is something she is not happy with, she will cry crazily. I am very scared of her crying. Her voice is very high. I think she will be a stubborn and tough person.
She greatly relies on my mother. Once she has to leave my mother, she will cry. Although she doesn’t like father to kiss her face, she will turn to him whenever she gets in trouble. She like eating snacks, and don’t like rice at all. Maybe the present kids are all like this.
Sister is not sensitive to the numbers. When I stretched out two or three fingers and asked her to answer how many, she would reply five! When I stretched five, she replies many!
About myself
Unknowingly, I have gone through three semesters. I feel I’ve changed a lot.
I learn a lot of things about Christianity. Among them, the most impressing is a saying by Jesus, “Love the people around you.” Although Jesus’s concept of love a lot differs from the contemporary one, I try my best to be nice and help the people around me. My old friends all said I had changed a lot.
Maybe I had experienced more.
At the last several weeks of the last semester, I was informed that my eyes got some kind of serious inflammation. I was supposed to have an operation; otherwise I will be blind. I was stunned. I didn’t tell my family and thought I could handle it myself. On the surface, I was peaceful, but I suffered from the fear of darkness every day. Maybe someday, I woke up and found I was blind. At last, I tried my best to fight with the fear and had all the finals.
After the end of last semester, the vacation begins. I didn’t go home immediately. Instead, I went to Guangzhou and found a better doctor. The diagnoses were the same, but this doctor figured out a conservative way of curing the disease. After series of treatments for about a week, the doctor said it has no problem, but I had to do periodic further consultation. I was relieved.
Maybe, virtue is its own reward.
