A Letter of Thanks on Father's Day
June 19, 2014
Dear Dad,
　　Father's day is drawing near, for so many years I've been seeking a way to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for me.
　　Thank you for always being there sharing my life when I need you most. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I never feel alone and vulnerable, because you will keep me on the right path. I'm blessed to have you.
　　Thank you for offering me education and teaching me how to be a man. You always inspire me not by words, but by what you have done! Your efforts in the work, your loyalty to your friends, your responsibility for the family and your persistence in the life have already set me good examples in my own life.
　　Thank you for always appreciating my work, no matter how tiny it is! You have made me realize that it is capacity not scores that really counts.
　　Dad, I love you and I will love you forever!
Yours beloved,
Li Ming
