With the unprecedented development of mobile Internet, handwritten letters have become a rarity. This article is a letter written by a father named Xu Huaiping to his seven-year-old son. In the letter, he told stories, reasoned, imparted knowledge... He tried to use language that the child could understand, telling him the colorful world, making people feel a father's care, expectations and responsibility for his son. Coincidentally, the cartoonist Ding Wu's collection of letters "Xiao Ai, Dad Misses You Very Specially" published in 2013 is also full of a father's generous love. Readers can see the letters Ding Wu wrote or drew to his eight-year-old daughter Xiao Ai from 1969 to 1972 when he was sent to the cadre school. In his letter, Ding Wu painted farm life in a lively and interesting way, which not only showed the love of a father for his daughter, but also reflected the spiritual sadness of that era.
