Paternal affection, truly understood and appreciated in its rightful place, emerges as we mature and have children of our own. It's in the journey of parenthood that we grasp the trials, sacrifices of our fathers in the past to nurture us. Fathers bring love, security, and happiness to the family. They are the ones who sacrifice, toil, tirelessly strive to raise children to be useful members of society. Each child holds fond memories of their father. There are moments when life feels arduous, but recalling father's advice, words of encouragement brighten everything. Father's teachings are valuable lessons aiding our growth and maturity. Paternal affection is profoundly unique; it cannot be measured by numbers or anything else in the world. Paternal affection is also a societal matter, influencing a nation and the world. Nowadays, the issue of filial impiety towards parents is increasingly prevalent. Many children regard parents as tools to achieve personal goals, showing little care, neglect, or gratitude towards them. Hence, cherish paternal affection by always showing care, love, and gratitude towards parents. Make parents happy, proud to have respectful, filial children. Respect and treat our parents well because they've devoted their entire lives to raise us. Paternal affection forms an invisible bond between father and child, helping us overcome all challenges and trials in life.

No measure of value can quantify paternal affection - the emotions a father holds for his children. It's an emotion that no language can adequately express. Paternal affection, the bond between father and child, is a sacred, precious sentiment. Everyone born into this world has a father. Someone who silently watches over us on every path. Since childhood, fathers have always been by our side. Childhood memories of fathers often depict them as stern, tough figures. Fathers give us a sense of distance, hardness. In our eyes, fathers are focused on work, on making money. Sometimes, we see fathers as indifferent, not caring about us like mothers do. Mothers always care for us, listen to us, while fathers remain silent. However, fathers remain silent because they carry many worries, concerns about life. How to take care of us, nurture us well. The burden of a father is significant, fathers, the backbone of the family. Therefore, all the responsibilities that fathers bear are immense, making us always see fathers as stern, or tough, but in reality, fathers love us deeply. Father's love is shown through practical actions: delicious meals, pocket money, gifts, or money for us to study, to play. Fathers take care of many things for us since we were children. Through the hardships and hard work of fathers, we have what we need, money to support us. Don't blame fathers for being cold, not talking to us much like mothers. Because you know, fathers are wonderful people. Wonderful because fathers sacrifice their entire lives to nurture us, without a single complaint.

In the diverse and rich spiritual life of human beings, the bond between father and child is the most sacred and profound. The great contributions of fathers are mentioned in many folk songs and proverbs: 'A father's merits are as great as Mount Tai', 'A house without a father is like a house without a roof', 'Paternal affection is deep'... Fathers play a pivotal role in the family, serving as a reliable support for their wives and children. Major decisions such as building a house, buying land, purchasing buffalo, arranging marriages for children... are often made by fathers. The responsibility of fathers is heavy. Whether children are well-behaved or mischievous largely depends on the guidance and discipline of fathers. Beside the gentle mother stands the strict father. Although the expressions of love may differ, every parent hopes to raise their children to be well-rounded individuals, as the folk saying goes: 'Filial piety surpasses the love of one's home'. While mothers daily endure hardships, caring for their children's every meal and clothing, fathers, in addition to these responsibilities, must also think about educating and imparting life experiences that they have gained through sweat and tears, so that their children learn practical lessons when stepping into life. How fortunate are the children who live within the loving embrace of their parents!

Human life is filled with many precious and sacred emotions, but perhaps the most beautiful sentiment is paternal affection. Paternal affection encompasses the care, concern, and nurturing provided by a father to his children, and the gratitude, love, and respect shown by children to their father. Fathers are the ones who give us life, nurture, and educate us, so filial piety is the least we can do to repay their kindness. Each child's love for their father cultivates noble qualities and ensures that the family is always filled with love. How one treats and expresses love for their father reflects their character and personality. A father's paternal affection is demonstrated through love, care, and guidance for their children, sternly correcting their mistakes. While a father's love may not always be as evident as a mother's, it is ever-present. Children, on the other hand, show their love, respect, and filial piety by listening to their father's advice and repaying his kindness. However, in today's society, there are still children who, despite owing a great debt of gratitude to their fathers, behave improperly, such as arguing with their parents or being disobedient (neglecting care in old age, even resorting to verbal abuse or physical violence). Such individuals deserve condemnation and criticism from society. Nothing can replace a father's love, and nothing is more valuable than paternal affection. As children, let us strive to be filial, loving, and grateful to our fathers.
