Let me tell you about my father. His name is Tang Xingzhan, Tang being the family name he
passed on to me. He's going to turn 50 this year, but he still looks good. He's quite tall and slim.
He has broad shoulders, and very dark black hair. He's a very elegant man, and he really pays
attention to his appearance
.
He shaves every single morning, and his skin is very smooth and soft,
although I often tease him about the wrinkles he's getting around the eyes
.
He is a businessman and he works a lot. Actually, he works too much, and his schedule is
always hectic
.
He goes on business trips quite often to meet customers and supervise work in the
factories. He set up his company many years ago, and he has done very well. He exports shoes all
over the world, and he makes good money to support my family. Although he sometimes goes
away on business for a few days, he takes good care of my grandparents, and me and my mother.
He's very generous and caring.
My father is a great man, because he is extremely considerate and thoughtful. He cares about
the people around him
,
and he always wants to make everyone happy. In addition, he always pays
attention to details
:
he's quite meticulous, and I think this is why he has been successful
.
On top of
this, he's smart. He knows a lot about everything. He reads the news every day, and he always
makes comments about current events. He is very opinionated, and sometimes he and my mother
will disagree, and even argue. But it never lasts too long, because he also knows how to make her
laugh.
My father has always been my first teacher. I think he taught me how to be hard- working
and patient. He always tells me that I shouldn't give up, even if things are more difficult than I
thought they would be. He always says that "Rome was not built in a day". A couple of days ago,
he also told me that I shouldn't be afraid to have my own point of view. I wish I could be as
strong-minded as he is
.
Next year, I plan to go to Australia to study business, and I will miss him a lot, but I am going
to study hard, in order to learn as much as possible, and hopefully work for him in the future. I
hope someday I can come up with ideas to make his company even more successful
.
