We are an impregnable nuclear family

If you ask me what kind of geometric figure my family is, I have to say it's triangle. My father, my mother and me. And it's impregnable. Living in a very peaceful county of Hebei province, having a big harmonious family, we lived together for the past 20 years happily until I come to Chongqing to go to university.

There is a beautifully romantic story about my parents. Raised in the same small village, they have known each other from their childhood. Destiny has brought them together. However, the people around them didn't agree with them being together. They fighted for themselves and finally they got married. I didn't know about it until one time I occasionally found three love letters from my dad to my mom. I still remember that when I asked them to tell me the whole story, they both moved into tears. Over so many years, they still treat each other very well.

My father is a traditional Chinese doctor. He devoted himself all to his work and the family. When he was at my age, he was supposed to have a chance of majoring in mathematics in Sichuan, however, he gave up the opportunity for the sake of my grandma's objection. He loves reading and he is very serious when doing something, which all prepared him to be a very kind and professional doctor. Meanwhile, he is very strict with me,not only in my study,but also in how to behave myself , and if I did something wrong, he would critisize me withour hesitation. It is him who always tells me to be strong and not cry when faced with difficulties. It is him who teaches me to bear my own responsibility in stead of running away. It is him who shows me what industriousness is, and what is "where there is a will , there is a way".

My mom is an accountant. She is very clever and virtuous. As my dad is always busy with his patients, so the burden of houseworking,and taking care of me all fall on her shoulders. She is very good at handling the affairs with others, and she knows how to save every penny, how to utilize the waste materials. She would prepare a whole table of dishes for me and dad. For me, she is the most brilliant cook in the world. She also likes to grow some flowers and greenery, making our house more lively. It is her who teachs me how to get along with my friends, how to behave myself when entertaining the guests. It is her who show me what gender is, what filial duty is!

Having been in Chongqing for almost 3 years, I still can't help thinking about them every day. But I know I have to try very hard to realize my dreams, and that's the best way to pay back.

We are a family, and nothing can seperate us!
