An old man

Hot 4910 views. 2017-11-24 22:12

           

That was a rainy day, so the visitors to the memorial hall of the victims in Nanjing massacre by Japanese invaders were less than usual. As a volunteer, I still stood the immovable spot and did my job. I looked around and watch whether some people did inappropriate things. Then, suddenly, an old man caught my eyes and impressed me a lot.

I am the person who is in charge of the squre which is filled with statue. So, the man who is about seventy years old walked slowly with humpback to see the statue. When he walked to see the words engraved on the statue, he always squatted down holding an umbrella. After reading these sentences, he tried his best to stand up and head for the next statue. His steps looked so staggery but he still insisted on doing so. I had a great respect for him and wanted to help him. However, the moment I saw his effort, I changed my mind and stood behind him looking him silently. Compared with those people who laughed and joked with friends, I think the old man deserved to be admired.

It is possible that the old man experienced those painful days, so he had a deeper feeling than our teenagers. But, we can't forget this historical event. In addition, we should treat the event seriously like the old man.

I have great respect for this old man because of his respect for the history. Chinese should engrave the painful history on their minds so that they don't let it happen again.

Things one has not experienced might move him but seldom impress him deep.

The man is respectable for his respect towards our history, especially compared with others.

That old man deserves respect from us. I think he tried to remember the people who died in the war and tried to express his sympathy for these death. We should learn from him and don't laugh in these solemn and respectful place.

You are right. Only when we experience the thing can we have deep feeling and value everything.

Although the historical event passed, we can't forget it and we should try our best to remember the history.

To be honest, when I first saw the old man, I think his action was strange. But, after I saw the whole behavior, I really moved by him and admired him sincerely.
