Toronto, Canada, is a fantastic city. It’s large, has many job opportunities, and most importantly, it is open and tolerant(包容的). It is one of the most diverse(多样的)cities in the world, with over 140 languages spoken there. What’s more, 12.5 percent of the city’s population is Chinese.

With all these different groups, it’s no surprise that you can find food from all over the world, from Vietnamese to Ethiopian. Many of these restaurants are located in the Kensington Market area, where there’s also music to hear and art to see.

This diversity is probably the reason why people living there consider it a mysterious place. Speaking to BBC News, travel blogger Alyssa James said, “The city doesn’t give up its secrets easily. I love Toronto because you really have to love it to know it.”

Toronto is also a great place to explore. Bruce Poon Tip told BBC News, “Toronto gives me big city benefits with small-town living.” He added, “it’s clean, it’s safe, it’s secure … and it’s beautiful.” The good news is you won’t miss any of this beauty, as Toronto has a very good public transport system.

It is also famous for being home to many talented computer geniuses. So if you’re hoping to work in the technology industry, Toronto is the place to be.

With all this to offer, it’s not surprising that this Canadian city is a dream place, whether you’re going on a vacation or even looking for a home.

A teenage boy couldn’t stand his parents’ family rules, so he left home. He wanted to be famous, but he has a poor education. He couldn’t find a job and had to beg for food on the street.

Years later, his mother died. Though his father was old, he was still looking for his son. He looked in every corner of the city. Whenever he went, he put up a big photo of himself on the wall. On the lower part of the photo, he wrote, “I still love you, my dearest son. Please come back home!”

One day, the son saw one of the photos on the wall. The face on the photo was familiar to him. “Is that my father?” He moved closer and read the words, “I still love you…” Tears ran down his face. He made up his mind to go back and see his dad.

It was early morning when he got home. He knocked on the door. Nobody answered, although the door did open. He rushed into his father’s bedroom. His father was sleeping. The boy woke his father up. “It’s me! Your son is back home!” The father and the son held each other with tears in their eyes. The son asked, “Why is the door unlocked? A thief could get in.” The father answered in a soft voice, “The door has never been locked since you left.”
