In normal times, my father would pay close attention to small matters and details, telling my husband to take good care of his health and be willing to spend money to buy delicious food. He was always worried that he would suffer from not having enough to eat. The letter reads:
It will be the beginning of winter soon, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Has your dormitory been provided with heating? Isn’t it a bit cold at night when covered with a quilt? Eat in a variety of ways, buy some good food, and don't be afraid to spend money. In short, body is first and learning second.
Don't be like a certain student. He worked too hard in school and came first in his studies. But as soon as he graduated, his young life was over. You don't think it was a loss. No matter how cold the weather gets, buy a pair of warm shoes to prevent your feet from freezing. I don't have enough money, so I'll explain and I'll mail it next time. The clothes and pants you wear should be washed frequently, especially shirts and underpants. Buy whatever you need.
The weather has been bad recently. We had two light rains and snows here. Then there was a sudden warm spell for a few days, with either cold or hot weather, causing both adults and children to catch colds. Your dormitory still has heating, right? The climate is changing a lot, so don’t take off your clothes casually to prevent colds.
Twenty-five kilograms of food stamps per month is definitely not enough. People with side jobs eat two kilograms, three to four taels a day, and one kilogram for lunch. But you are students, so you can’t compare with those who have side jobs. But seven or eight taels of grain a day is not enough.
Don’t just make do with things and suffer from hunger every day because the food stamps issued by the school are less. This is not going to work. You have to eat half a catty of food every day. Our family has food. If we sell the food, we will get food stamps. If not, please write us a letter and explain.
I know that you have had another cold recently, and I don’t know if you are feeling better now? I think it may be cured. A mild cold lasts four to five days, and a severe cold lasts for more than ten days. Once cured, you need to prevent re-infection. It is very troublesome to recover after a re-infection. If you are not cured, you need to take medicine and injection as soon as possible and receive timely treatment. Don't think that the weather is hot, take off your clothes casually, or go to a ventilated place to enjoy the coolness. This is the most likely to cause wind-heat cold . The symptoms will be the same as your cold this time, so be careful.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, so we should prevent heat stroke. When going outside, be with a friend, don't act alone, and be on the safe side. If there are a lot of mosquitoes, buy a mosquito net.
You don’t need to worry about daily things at home. Just study with peace of mind and take care of your health. Especially when going out to do errands or play, you need to keep up with your companions when riding in the car, and be careful at all times to take precautions.
Summer is coming and the weather is hot. Are you having a good time during your summer vacation? In these scorching hot days, you should pay special attention to your body.
Does your dormitory have heating? The Beginning of Winter has passed, and the weather is getting colder day by day. You should wear thicker clothes to avoid getting cold.
The weather is getting cold, so you should pay special attention to your health. If your stomach still hurts, go to the hospital for a checkup. Put your body first and study second. You must have a good body even if you want to eat.
You said you were going to do an internship on May Day, so you weren’t alone when you went, right? Don’t run around wherever you go, and pay attention to safety at all times.

Summer vacation is coming soon. If you don’t come back, just stay at school. Make sure you meet someone when you go out, don't hang out alone, just to be on the safe side. If the money is not enough, please write to explain and I will send it to you. You said you were going to buy a shirt a long time ago, but I don’t know if you did.
Your bedding has not been taken out and washed for four years, and it has been left uncovered in school for more than two months. Is it moldy? I don’t know if the newly purchased quilt cover is suitable to fit in?
Your mother has been worried. I don’t have much money with me when I leave. No matter what I do now, there is nothing I can do without spending money. Don’t be stingy with the money you use, especially for daily meals. You should buy more and don’t go hungry. Later, you can give it to me when you have free time. You remit it.
The weather is getting cold. You should pay attention to adding clothes according to the weather changes to prevent colds.
originally planned to remit 300 yuan to you first, but I guess it won’t be enough. I have to go home after school and buy some clothes and shoes, so I borrowed another 200 yuan and mailed it to you together. The weather is getting cold, so you should buy a pair of cotton shoes to avoid freezing your feet.
You don’t have much money when you leave. You need to buy whatever you need, such as clothes, shoes and socks. If you don’t have enough money, borrow it from your classmates or tutor first, and I will remit it to you these days. When the weather is hot, special precautions should be taken against heat stroke dysentery .
The weather is getting cold, so wear thicker clothes and buy a pair of cotton shoes to avoid freezing your feet. Remit 300 yuan for living expenses and transportation home for winter vacation.
You should pay special attention to your diet, especially in winter. Do not eat cold rice and drink warm water. If you have a bad appetite, it will most easily cause stomachache cough.
Being alone, far away from home, without any friends, the difficulties are imaginable. If you have any difficulties, you can ask your classmates or teachers for help.
Therefore, no matter what you do, pay special attention to safety. You are alone in a foreign country, and your life is unfamiliar. Don't go out and run around at night. It's better to be with someone when you go there during the day to prevent accidents.
I don’t have enough money. Please explain in the letter and I will remit it to you. Study hard to realize your ideals.
Later, when my husband was a graduate student, my father emphasized again and again:
You can't take care of family matters, so don't worry. Please look out for yourself and experiment. Just pay attention to your body and do experiments. If you don't have enough money, I'll write you a letter and explain it, and I'll remit it to you.
The hotter the weather, the easier it is for people to get sick. You should take good care of your body. Try to experiment!
Children must take good care of themselves and take care of themselves when they go out, so as not to worry about their parents.
At the same time, we must get rid of the fact that ordinary parents pay too much attention to the trivial matters of life, but do not care about whether their children have long-term and specific goals? Have you accumulated products with proprietary rights?
The real reason why most people are unable to improve their social status is that we should not worry too much about the trivial matters in life. What we should worry about is finding a lifelong career, what can we do for a lifetime without giving up, and how many words should we write in a lifetime? How many paintings do you paint? How to spend your life. Ordinary parents don’t pay attention to this topic at all.
