The society of our human beings is really a complex system. Then what is the basis, or say, the smallest unit of such an unwieldy system? People will say ¡°family¡± with one voice. Usually family is considered to be the essential element of a society. If we look the word ¡°family¡± into a dictionary, its definition is simply ¡°a group consisting of parents and their children¡±. Then we come to the conclusion that the relationship between parents and children is the most basic one among all the interpersonal relationships that exist in the world. And there is no doubt that it plays an important role in our society. The bond between parents and children is incredibly strong. A main reason is that parents and children are linked because of their ties of blood. This unique tie distinguishes it from any other interpersonal relationships. The love between parents and children is special. It grows for so many years without judgment, without limit. Our parents simply love us beyond all bounds. They love all the things belong to us, not only our strengths and gifts but also our weaknesses and faults. This strong love is from parents¡¯ hearts, there is no interests mixed in it at all. It is such a pure and exquisite emotion that parents will do things for their children that no one else would dream of.
