Today I would like to share the story of my grandfather who played a pivotal role in my upbringing. He is 70 years old now, but he is approaching 71st birthday this month. I will return home and celebrate his birthday. I feel eager to return home and celebrate this special occasion with him. You know, he is very knowledgeable person who travels a lot during his younger years. I know he has encountered numerous challenges. He has various valuable experiences and life lessons to pass on his children and grandchildren. I always remember when I started learning to ride a bike, I fell on my bike multiple times. Every time I fell, I just wanted to give up, but he told me no matter how hurt our situation is, never give up. If you fell, that’s okay. If you put your heart into whatever you are doing, you can do anything. Yeah, I love him so much because I ran far, always stood by my side, encourages me to push through the difficulties.
