My father was born in the 1950ā€™s inĀ aĀ village of the north Jiangsu province, which located in the centralĀ EasternĀ China. He has four brothers and one sister, all of themĀ wereĀ graduated from a high school, It was a notĀ Ā anĀ easy thing toĀ achieveĀ atĀ that time, becauseĀ every singleĀ  family was very poor due lack of food and widespread starvation.Ā Still,Ā my grandfather tried to do manyĀ differentbusinessesĀ  andĀ he was able to earnĀ more money than the normal farmers , so he could/was able to affordĀ sendingĀ them to accomplish theĀ studies.
My father is a very kind man, he always picked meĀ upĀ from schoolĀ especiallyĀ on my birthday every yearĀ regardlessĀ if it was rainy or sunny, that was the happiest thing IĀ Ā anticipatedĀ for during that day . Besides,he adoptedĀ  a girl brought into our family by our mother without asking any questions, and he treated her the same way he treated us, me and my brother.

My father is also a curious person and heā€™sĀ  very happy to learn more.Ā  Now, at the older age once we all graduated and started our own careers heā€™s living in the city together with my brotherā€™s family.Ā  he was not good at cooking but he learned a lot byĀ  learning through an app and now he can make various Chinese tasty wheatenĀ dishes. He also helped my mother who is illiterate to use the phone and many useful apps
He is very happy and heā€™s in a good mood, he became a Christian 3 years ago, and he goes to church every Sunday, he believes in God and I think that God can bring happiness to him in return.
