朱自清·《背影》

This is my favourite Chinese short essay first read when I was a student. It was about the author's experience when his father sent him off in a train station. In the train station, his father had tried many ways to facilitate a smooth journey. His father's action had emotionally touched him and he was appreciative of the love his father had shown throughout the years.
