¡¡¡¡What a distressing irony to see such a special ¡°football¡± match! The ball is an old father, and none of the four goal keepers, three sons and a daughter, would let the ¡°ball¡± go into their goals. The father can do nothing but huddle himself up in the middle of the field. Looking at the picture, I believe, every reader with conscience will feel intensely pained by the pitiful situation of the father and the hardhearted filial impiety of the sons and the daughter.
¡¡¡¡It is no doubt that the sons and the daughter are to be condemned. Father is the person who has brought them up with great love. How can they treat him so cruelly? Filial piety has been advocated as a traditional Chinese virtue throughout history. Every step of a child¬ðs growth, from birth to death, bears so much time and energy of the parents and above all, their unselfish love. So our parents rightly deserve our reward¡ªlove, respect, care and support. What¬ðs more, family relationship is very much like a mirror. If you smile upon it, it will smile back upon you. By treating our parents kindly, we will set an example for our sons and daughters and gain their respect and love in return.
¡¡¡¡In a word, it is our innate obligation to be filial to our parents.
