When our life is stable, the same wish arises spontaneously, so that parents who have worked hard all their lives can come to Japan once, take them for a walk on the streets of Japan, and show them the Tokyo Tower, Mount Fuji, beautiful beaches and hot springs, as well as Disneyland. Let them come out and open their eyes, and they can tell their relatives and friends in detail when they go back. Let them have a look at the place where their children live, a country with complicated feelings for some old people in China, a land that left their children's youthful and struggling footprints.
The procedure is relatively simple, and all the arrangements are ready. Then, we will go to Narita Airport to meet our parents. Meet, study, talk and laugh. Parental affection and human feelings are common, but they are eternal melodies. Blood is thicker than water and lasts forever. Although it is inappropriate and even has friction, it is with nostalgia when it is sent away. This is an opportunity for a wanderer to repay San Chunhui, and it is also an opportunity to leave warm memories for each other in the future.
Reunion in a foreign country during the Spring Festival
Quan Dandan will graduate from the college in April this year. Dandan, who is filial, wants to take his parents to Japan to be filial before returning to work. Just as my father had a holiday during the Spring Festival, the family finally got together in Japan.
Tokyo university of foreign studies International Student Dormitory, where the family of three will meet in the next 90 days. As soon as she entered the room, her mother felt distressed that her daughter, who had been reporting good news but not worrying, had been living in such a small room. "Mom, this is Japan, and school dormitories are cheap and convenient. I can apply to live here. I don't know how many students envy me. "
The whole mother told reporters that in fact, this tour is not important to her. Mainly because my daughter is filial, I must take myself over during the New Year. This time, I want to meet my daughter who I haven't met for a long time and miss day and night. Second, I want to see where my daughter lives and studies.
The whole father said that he transferred from Zhengzhou to Beijing, and met people who came home during the Spring Festival on the train. Everyone was warm and talked all the way home. In Beijing, taxi drivers also talked enthusiastically with them all the way. When boarding the plane, the two old people saw many China people around them. They wanted to chat with them, but in the end, a young Japanese man sat next to them. The young man listened to music with headphones on all the way, as if the neighbors didn't exist. On the way to their residence, the two old people found that the tram was quiet again and everyone was doing their own thing, which made the newly reunited family be caring and attentive and unconsciously lowered their voices. In the taxi, although the driver wore gloves, he didn't say a word when he got on and off except muttering a few Japanese words. So the two old people came to a conclusion: Japan is a country with indifferent personal feelings. Dandan immediately explained to his mother that Japanese people have no habit of chatting with strangers. Taxi drivers should concentrate on their work, and of course they can't chat with guests. In fact, Japanese nationals are very enthusiastic. If you ask for directions in the street, everyone will try their best to tell you and help you. You will know after a long time.
Mom is not lonely.
Children go to work during the day, and only the elderly are at home during the day. Language barriers and loneliness are inevitable, which is what children are most worried about. Wang Liguo, a Chinese Peking Opera actor in Japan, has a 75-year-old mother. After taking her to Japan, filial Wang Liguo was most worried that she would be left alone at home after going to work. But a few weeks later, what my son was worried about didn't happen. In Liguo Wang's words, although my mother is old, she will enjoy herself in a foreign country.
Liguo Wang goes to work during the day. When my mother is bored at home, she will sit down and watch TV. Although she doesn't understand Japanese, her mother tries to understand the meaning by herself with the expressions and tone of the characters, especially funny programs, which she often likes. My son acts as a TV interpreter when he comes home at night. A long time ago, an elder discovered a program that he could understand without his son's translation. This is Japanese sumo. It is clear at a glance who pushed who and who pushed who out of the circle. A few weeks later, the old man not only understood sumo that many Japanese adults might not understand, but also became fascinated. In the next two and a half months, I was catching up with the large-scale sumo competition on 15, and the old man just looked at it without landing.
As the son of an actor, he must let his mother watch the performance live. After the performance, the old man was very proud to see Japanese "ticket friends" offering flowers and taking pictures for his son backstage. I didn't expect so many people abroad to like his son's Peking Opera performance. When the old man returned home, he told everyone that my son was like a big star abroad, which made Liguo Wang laugh and cry. However, in the later days, the old man also witnessed his son's daily efforts and struggles in a foreign country, but he was distressed and pleased to see his son's excellent work performance.
Liguo Wang's cousins are all in Japan. I heard that the old man was coming, and my brothers and sisters came from all over Japan to visit during the Spring Festival. The old man is happier. The old man walked over and said, I didn't expect the family to be happy and reunited abroad. I really don't know how many times the Spring Festival abroad is more lively than at home.
Visit relatives and study together.
In the eyes of ordinary people, parents visiting relatives in Japan is nothing more than visiting their children and sightseeing, but for some parents who have the conditions to visit relatives in Japan frequently, it is more than that.
Erhu player Chen Min's father is a retired teacher of Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and his mother is an actor of Suzhou Yue Opera Troupe. From 1995, filial Chen Min took his parents to visit relatives for the first time, almost every year. Chen Baba 1993+0 began to teach himself Japanese. Dad Chen said that when he first learned Japanese, he often came to Japan for a while. After returning to China for a long time, I gradually forget it, then I will study it when I come back, and I will forget it soon after I return to China, and so on. However, two embarrassing things I encountered in the future touched me greatly and made me determined to learn Japanese well. One day, a Japanese friend called. During the conversation, my friend said that he is at work now, and he will go home as a guest 1 hour later. Dad Chen put the phone down and got busy, cleaning the room and preparing dinner. But after more than an hour, my friend didn't come. My daughter called to confirm it. It turns out that my friend said she would return to her house in 1 hour, not to be a guest. On another occasion, Mr. Chen went to the hospital himself, and the doctor told him that he could still take a bath after applying ointment, but Mr. Chen went home and applied ointment, thinking that if he took a bath, the ointment would not wash off. My daughter didn't get the name white until she confirmed it. It turns out that the doctor said to apply ointment after bathing. Since then, Mr. Chen has made up his mind to study Japanese hard. The next day, he signed up for a Japanese class himself. Because of the high tuition, Mr. Chen, who originally wanted to attend classes regularly every day, had to change his plan and decided to attend classes only one day a week. Once, a Japanese student studying erhu came to Mr. Chen to listen to his performance. During the conversation, he learned that the student was learning Chinese, so Mr. Chen offered to teach her Chinese, but on the condition that the other party would teach herself Japanese. So the two hit it off and the expensive tuition was saved.
Later, Mr. Chen saw that Japanese people had the habit of reading books on trams, so he also learned to write down the Japanese words he learned every day in a notebook and take them out as soon as he took the tram, which really greatly improved the learning efficiency. Mr. Chen said that he was old and his memory was not as good as that of young people. In order to remember words faster, Mr. Chen thought of a way to remember Japanese words with Chinese homophones, which not only improved efficiency, but also made him happier in the process of learning.
I have been to Japan many times. Mr. Chen said that he had been to more places than many Japanese. Now he is walking around Japan, and his purpose has changed from sightseeing to understanding and studying Japanese culture. For example, when eating in Japan, Mr. Chen saw that Japanese food was small, but it was exquisite and delicious. After a while, Mr. Chen gradually realized that Japanese people eat not only to fill their stomachs, but to taste the natural flavor and reach the point where life is very particular. On another visit to a Japanese friend's house, Mr. Chen took two books, The Analects of Confucius and China's Historical Records, which surprised him. A friend said that in Japan, almost everyone above the president has read these two books. Therefore, Mr. Chen is ashamed that, as a China native, he didn't personally study the works of his ancestors. So I bought the Four Books and Five Classics immediately after I returned to China, which really benefited me a lot.
Japanese good son-in-law
Mom and dad came to see that they married a Japanese daughter. Although the daughters always report good news instead of bad news, saying that the Japanese husband is very good and it is good to marry in Japan, how can they rest assured? This time they want to see their daughter's home and Japan, which can not only reassure them, but also make them look good in front of their relatives and friends at home: "My daughter insists that we visit Japan."
Xiaomei, the only daughter of Ms. Liu in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, came to Japan to study in a language school in 2002. Two years later, Ms. Liu got the news of Xiaomei's marriage without waiting for her daughter 1. After listening to this, Ms. Liu was really happy and worried. The good news is that in her hometown, all the girls the same age as her daughter have been betrothed to others, and her daughter finally has a home. This is really a happy event. What worries me is that my daughter is married to a foreign country, which my son-in-law has never seen before. I wonder if my daughter can be happy.
Xiaomei, who was pregnant in 2005, took her mother to visit relatives in Japan. In Ms. Liu's impression, all men in Japan have male chauvinism. But in contact, Ms. Liu found that her son-in-law was not only polite, but also modest. The son-in-law works in a family restaurant, and Xiaomei has been cooking for her daughter since she became pregnant. However, what moved Ms. Liu most was Xiaomei's mother-in-law. Xiaomei's in-laws live with her eldest son. I heard that Ms. Liu came from China, and her parents-in-law and eldest son all drove to visit Ms. Liu with gifts. Although she doesn't understand the language, Ms. Liu Can fully felt the simplicity and kindness of this family from her tone and expression. Since then, the son-in-law always brings back some barbecue and fresh fish when he comes home from work in the restaurant, saying that his father told him to bring them back for Ms. Liu to taste. June, 5438+February, 2005, Xiaomei gave birth to a fat boy, and her in-laws who already had two granddaughters were happy from ear to ear. But at this time, Ms. Liu's visa expired and she had to return to China. When she left, Xiaomei's in-laws sent a big bag of gifts. Mother and daughter are reluctant to part. At this time, Xiaomei came up with an idea to let her mother who lives alone marry in Japan, so that her mother and daughter can be separated. Ms. Liu readily agreed, and when she left, she took a photo at the matchmaking agency and recorded the sound. Both mother and daughter are looking forward to the day of reunion in Japan.
I won't write more scenes of warm family, because the interviewee often answers with short sentences: "Very good, very used to it, very happy." Needless to say, human feelings are soaked in the details of daily life. The interview is over, but the family story continues.
