It was in the middle of winter, about thirty years ago. I was a young father with three little children and I was working in a sawmill(锯木厂) for just above the minimum wage.
As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped plasters(创口贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up the wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air. Then I walked down to my car in the snow and hoped it would start.
That day’s work was harder than normal. The machines kept breaking down. And we had to rush to catch back up as the wood was piled up. On top of it all, the heaters in the building weren’t working and we could see our breath as we spent hours chopping, piling, carrying, and packaging the hard wood flooring to be shipped out.
When the work day finally ended, I walked tiredly towards the time clock, took off my work gloves and inspected my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the plasters again. I tried to straighten out but I suffered a severe cramp(抽筋) in my back. I started my car and drove back home. I looked at the snow and blinked back tears. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened my front door, but instead one appeared naturally. My daughter ran up to me, yelled “Daddy”, and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart exploded with love.

My tired body didn’t feel so tired any more.



“Happy birthday!” my wife greeted me warmly.

My tired body didn’t feel so tired any more. My two little sons soon crowded around me too, holding their crudely drawn pictures out to me. The colorful pictures had big letters spelling “Best Dad” and a silly drawing of our whole family. I held all my three kids close, and the ache in my back and the stinging of my bleeding fingers all seemed to fade away. The cold, hard day at work that had made me want to cry just moments before was gone, replaced by a soft, warm feeling wrapping my whole heart.
“Happy birthday!” my wife greeted me warmly. I was so exhausted at work that I had totally forgotten it was my birthday that day. She led me to the dining table, where simple but steaming home-made dishes were placed, and a tiny cake with three little candles sat in the middle. I bit into the sweet cake later, and tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. I realized right then that life never felt hard any more, as long as I had my loved ones by my side.
