On September 28, 2012, a piece of news carried a middle-school student’s letter written before his suicide. In his letter, the 15-year-old boy earnestly begged his father to give up his bad behavior and renew a cordial relationship with his mother. After reading the letter, my heart bled bitterly. Though suffering greatly from his troubled family, the boy had a deep love for his young life, his lovely classmates and his respectable teachers. But to bring back his father’s moral and a happy family, he ended his life by swallowing pesticide.
2012年9月28号，一只消息报道称以为中学生自杀前写了一封信。在这封信中，一名十五岁的男孩认真的恳求他的父亲改掉他的坏习惯恢复和母亲的关系。读完这封信后，我的心像在滴血一般疼。尽管这个问题家庭给他带来了很大的痛苦，这个男孩还是深爱着他年轻的生命，他可爱的同学和他尊敬的老师们。但是为了为了挽回他父亲的道德和一个幸福的家庭，他服农药结束了自己的生命。
Poor kid, why did you resort to such an unwise move? Since you dearly loved your parents, you could have done otherwise. You showed the world with your pure, innocent and kind heart that you longed for a beautiful life and hated the evil. But you chose the wrong way to realize your desires and wishes.
脆弱的孩子，你为什么要选择如此不明智的举动？既然你那么深爱你的父母，你就不该这么做。你的话语和你纯洁，无辜和善良的内心表明你想要美好的生活，你憎恨罪恶。但是你选择了错误的方式去实现你的希望和意愿。
The tragedy exposed a grave social problem: domestic violence and lack of family communication. Clearly, marriage break-ups do great and inevitable harm to children. As we know, each family, as a cell of society, is concerned with social stability and happiness of its people, and more importantly, the future of a nation.
这一悲剧揭露了一个严重的社会问题：家庭暴力以及缺乏家庭沟通。显然，离婚不可避免的对孩子带来巨大伤害。我们都知道，作为社会的一个小部分，每个家庭都与社会的稳定、人们的幸福以及国家的未来息息相关。
People often say parents are the first teachers of their children. Parents’ behaviors greatly affect the growth and development of their children. A happy and harmonious family environment is essential to children’s healthy growth. Personally, this incident may serve as a warning to parents, who are expected to regulate their behaviors and set a good example to create a good environment for their children’s life and study. Let’s remember: harmony starts from home.
人们常说家长是孩子的第一任老师。家长的行为深深的影响着孩子的成长和发展。一个幸福和谐的家庭环境对孩子的健康成长是必要的。就我个人来说，这次事故应当成为对家长们的一个警告。家长们应该规范他们的行为举止，做好榜样给孩子的生活和学习创造环境。让我们牢记和谐社会从家庭做起。
