A teenage girl couldn’t stand her parents’ family rules, so she left home.

She wanted to be famous. But she had poor education and several years later she had to ask for food on the street for a living. Now her father has died. Her mother is an old woman. But she is still looking for her daughter. She has been to every corner of the city. Everywhere she goes, she puts up a big photo of herself on the wall. At the lower part of the photo she writes,“I still love you . . . , come back home!”

One day, the daughter saw one of the photos. The face was familiar. “Is that my mother?” she moved closer and read the words“I still love you ...”She cried. When she got home, it was early morning. She knocked on the door. The door opened itself. She rushed to her mother’s bedroom. Her mother was sleeping. She woke her mother up,“It’s me! Your daughter is back home!” The mother and daughter held each other, full of happy tears. The daughter asked, “Why is the door not locked? A thief could get in.”The mother answered softly,“The door has never been locked since you left.”

The door of parents’ love for their children will never be closed.

Dear Editor,

Can’t your newspaper do something about the habit if hitchhiking(搭乘)?

On a recent car trip Icounted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young girls.

Don’t they understand how dangerous it is to get into a car driven by a stranger? What do they know about the driver’s character or ability to drive? Nothing.

Many of the young hitchhikers probably come from good families. Don’t their parents teach them anything about the world? I always teach my children not to talk to strangers. I never allow them to accept rides from people they didn’t know.

Isn’t there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking?
