There is always a brilliant image living in my heart. That is my dear father. Seen through the eyes of many other people, father seems to be a very ordinary person. But he is quite extraordinary in my eyes, I have never lost my wonder at his good-personalities such as diligence, devotion, care, optimism ever since my childhood.
Being a farmer, father works very hard in the fields all the year round. He works from dawn till dusk every day and even till midnight when it is the harvest season. He seldom enjoys leisure with other farmers even if the farm work is not much. He chooses to live a busy life with reluctance to stop for a while.
Father devotes all himself to our family. As we are poor, he always tries his best to support our family and afford the tuitions for my brother and me. For the whole family, for brother and me, he never stops working laboriously in the fields throughout the year. Now he has got a wrinkled face and white hair because of excessive hard work, looking much older and weaker than any other person of his age. In spite of all this, father never complains to us. It is his full devotion that we're living a better life now. It is his full devotion that both my brother and I are able to study at college.
Father shows much care to us children and my mother as well. Whenever there is any delicious food on the table, he just leaves it to us while he takes the simple one himself. If my brother and I fall ill, he will not hesitate a moment to get some medicine for us or take us to see the doctor. My mother suffers a bad disease. Father looks after her very carefully. He never lets mother do any heavy work both at home and in the field. Mother appreciates him m much that she often praises him as a model husband before others.
Father is a person full of optimism. He never complains about our poor life. He is never frustrated by trouble. He often tells us that everything will be all right if we have enough confidence in life. Due to his optimism, we are all confident to face our life and work.
We all think that father is not in the least an ordinary man. He plays an extraordinary role in my family. We can't have anything without him. Now I'm pursuing further studies at college far away from father. I miss him very much. And I often see him in my dreams. His great image is deeply carved in my mind.

總有一個精彩的形象活在我心中。那是我親愛的父親。從許多人的眼中看，父親似乎是一個很普通的人。但在我眼裡，他是非常不平凡的，從我童年起，我就從未對他的勤奮、奉獻、關心、樂觀等美好品質失去過好奇心。
作為一個農民，父親常年在田間辛勤勞動。他每天從黎明一直工作到黃昏，直到午夜時分才是收穫的季節。即使農活不多，他也很少喜歡和其他農民一起休閒。他選擇過著忙碌的生活，不願停一會兒。
父親把自己奉獻給我們的家庭。雖然我們很窮，他總是盡他最大的努力來支持我們的家庭和支付學費，我哥哥和我。為整個家庭，為我和弟弟，他不停地在地里工作一年。現在，他有一個皺巴巴的臉和白頭髮，因為過度努力，看起來更老，弱於任何其他人的年齡。儘管如此，父親從不向我們抱怨。正是他的全心投入，我們現在過著更好的生活。我和哥哥都能在大學裡學習，這是他全部的奉獻精神。
父親對我們的孩子和母親都很關心。每當桌子上有美味的食物，他就把它留給我們，而他自己拿著簡單的。如果我哥哥和我生病了，他會毫不猶豫地給我們買點藥或者帶我們去看醫生。我母親病得很重。父親很細心地照顧她。他從不讓媽媽在家裡和地里做任何重活。母親很欣賞他，她常稱讚他是模範丈夫。
父親是一個樂觀的人。他從不抱怨我們貧窮的生活。他從不因麻煩而灰心喪氣。他經常告訴我們，如果我們對生活有足夠的信心，一切都會好起來的。由於他的樂觀，我們都有信心面對我們的生活和工作。
我們都認為父親不是一個普通人。他在我家扮演一個非凡的角色。沒有他我們不能擁有任何東西。現在我在遠離父親的大學繼續深造。我非常想念他。我經常在夢中見到他。他的偉大形象深深刻在我的腦海里。
