The Sweetest Sight

I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

It was an amazing week for my husband and me—the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my

husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my to go to Europe

together with him. Then we asked his mother to our two children and started off.

During the week’s time, visited London and Paris as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louver and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

On our last night in Paris, we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband

called home. His mother the phone. In a second, my husband’s face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something happened.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He didn’t answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).

“I don’t want to be here! I shouldn’t be here! I should be home my kids!”

We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children’s bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no sight(风景)in the world than your children’s faces that greet you at home.

When we interviewed what the life was like more than 70 years ago, many old soldiers were full of tears in their eyes. They told us that they never forgot those days when they were in the army, during which they lived hard lives but spared no effort to fight against the enemies.

Now in the year 2015 comes the first great parade(阅兵) in the 21st century. September 3rd is the 70th anniversary(纪念) of the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯主义的) war. This day is considered as an important moment for China, as well as the world. 49 countries from all over the world, including South Korea and some European countries attended this special occasion.

In preparation for the parade, the soldiers worked hard every day. In order to walk well in the three hundred meters distance on the Tian’anmen Square, they had to receive extremely strict training. Each day, they got up early in the morning and started the 10 hours’ practice.

When a reporter arrived, it was raining heavily outside, but none of the soldiers stopped training. Nothing can stop their training, and no one can stop their deep love to their motherland.

The reporter asked, “The training is so hard but why does nobody give up?” “It’s the first time for me to join in such an important ceremony. I consider it a great honor. I must try my best.” One of the participants(参与者) answered. In fact, everyone takes pride in taking part in this big parade because they want to show the spirit of Chinese army, the power of Chinese army, as well as the determination of keeping the world in peace.

From the soldiers, we learned the power of dreams. If one has a dream, he will get over any difficulties that get in the way to make the dream come true.
