Yesterday I went to Shantou to pay my respects to my ancestors

Today I got back home, and my wife told me that my sister doesn’t want to sleep in the same room with her younger brother anymore
Because the younger brother always kicks her when he sleeps
Before, she was still able to bear it
Yesterday, she suddenly decided that she would sleep on her own from then on
Today, while we were up on the mountain
My father suddenly said something
“This year, I’ve grown much older
My hair also seems to have turned whiter by quite a bit”
And just a moment ago, in that instant
Two images suddenly overlapped
Seeing my younger self in my daughter and son
Seeing my older self in my father
I saw myself, from beginning to end, in the river of destiny
I saw my childhood mischief, my adolescence immaturity, my youthful vigor, my middle-aged ambition, and my old age clarity
This is the fate between children and their father
Adoration, dislike, hatred, understanding, letting go, companionship
