Me and the Old Bridge

Family is the strongest harbor and warmest bond in life. It is not a simple connection of blood, but an umbrella tilted in the wind and rain, a lamp left bright in the cold night, a shoulder to rest on when tired, a starlight that can guide the direction when confused; a silent but firm support, a tolerant gaze when making mistakes, a bowl of warm rice and a trivial advice in ordinary days. Family allows us to care when we are wandering, have confidence when we are wandering, and have a place to return to when we are injured. It teaches us to love and be loved, brings warmth to ordinary daily life, and makes the journey of life no longer lonely. This is the meaning of family: with silent companionship and deep protection, it becomes our courage to fight against the world and the confidence to embrace life.
