There was a lonely old man，childless and weak.He decided to move to a nursing home.The old man announced the sale of his beautiful house.Buyers crowded to get it.The base price of the house was 80，000，but people soon sold it to 100，000.The price is still climbing.The old man was deep in the sofa，full of sadness.Yes，he would not have sold the house that had been with him for most of his life but for his health.A young man in plain clothes came to the old man，bent down and said in a low voice，“Sir，I want to buy this house，but I only have 10，000 pounds.However，if you sell me your house，I promise you will still live here，drink tea with me，read newspapers，take a walk，and be happy every day—believe me，I will take care of you with my whole heart！”The old man nodded smiling and sold the house to him for 10，000 pounds.To realize your dream，you don't have to fight and cheat ruthlessly.Sometimes，as long as you have the heart of loving others.

A bowl of soya milk and some baozi，or steamed buns，is a typical Chinese breakfast.Disney­Pixar's short film Bao 《包宝宝》 took home this year's Academy Award for Best Animated Short.In the movie，a small steamed bun springs to life and becomes the child of a lonely Chinese woman.Domee Shi，Pixar's first female Chinese­Canadian director，was inspired by her own mother.When Shi grew up, she was always working outside the home.Shi spent little time with her mother，which made her reflect on their relationship.

In the film，many details show the way the Chinese woman loves her “son”．She prepares feasts，cleans up the house carefully and always buys “him” fresh pastries.These details are true to the strong and protective love of Chinese parents for their children.But as Bao grows up，he wants to have his own life.He plays out late with his friends，refusing to come home.He knows that there is a big world out there，but can't cut his mother's apron strings.So，how should children like this show their parents that they love them?
