Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his   36  to let my mother   37   her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the   38  . One evening, our father came home and there was no   39  , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as   40   as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.

   41   I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not    42   us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he   43   and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he   44   to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children    45  .

My father did not eat and had    46   all day but he sat there and felt   47   at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my   48  . At that moment, I felt   49   knowing that he tried his best not to let us   50  , and he wanted us to know he was always there with us.

In   51   times, I think, it is important not to   52   weakness but strength.   53   the mother is the cement(黏合劑)that   54   a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens that cement.

It is his values and    55   that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet fighter pilot in Viet Nam. After 75 missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb parachuted down into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison.

One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man from another table came up and said “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Viet Nam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb.

“I packed your parachute,” the man replied. “I guess it worked”. Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute（降落傘） hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, “I kept wondering what he looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning. How are you?’ or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was ‘just a sailor’”.

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds(傘罩) and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know.
