Let your father know you love him

Most individuals are caught in the daily struggle of survival in today's complex world. As a result, youngsters take their parents, especially fathers, for granted.

I have no doubt that Chinese students hold nothing but profound love for their fathers. Nevertheless, they are not taught to express that love in the right way. They justify their action by saying that their fathers know that they love them and, therefore, there is no need to express it through empty words, pretentious hugs or superficial gifts.
