Diary 2: my father

my father was born in 1948 before the China PR was established. He had been a soldier for 3 years in peace period then became a teacher in primary school until he retired.But he was always not a permanent staff so that just had a little salary for 30 years (I'm not sure what you are trying to say). There are many teachers just like my father that received low wages in the remote poor villages of China. At the same time, my father's medicine store had made profit for a short time with the help of my mother.  My family had a half acre of farm land around the village in the mountains.My mother cultivated the land with only a hoe and reaping hook for the remainder of her 47 years until her she passed from lung cancer caused by my father's smoking. A 47 years old lifespan is the average life span in North Africa.

Two years after my mother passed away, I went to college far from my hometown. My father has brought another women home to live with him before I graduated, and they have a good relationship now.

Nowadays, my father has very serious health issues like asthma and diabetes. He can't run the medicine store. He lives on retirement pension--It's enough for him. For the past several years , the government increased salaries for old teachers who were not permanent staff. But my father is not good at cooking or cleaning the house. The woman with him has been ill for many years and her sons want her to be with my father. My father refuses my invitation to come with me to the city. He loves his place where he was born and lives.

I really want to live with my father, but it's not easy. I want to improve his life, but that's not easy either. I also have low wages. I need more money and I also need to change my career or my job. I have a big sister who has one son with her husband. They live in another city and take  very good care of my father. Emigrating to Australia is a feasibile plan for me to increasing money.

I really want to live with my father. but It's not easy. I want to improve his life, it's not easy, too. My wages is low, too. I need money and I need changing my career or my job. I have a big sister who has one son with her husband lived in another city and very care of my father. Emigrating to Australia is a feasibility plan to increasing money for me. 我真的想生活这父亲旁边照顾他,提高他的生活质量。这是不容易的。我赚钱不多,我需要更多的钱,我需要换工作或者换职业。移民澳大利亚谋生是一个可行的计划。

Nowadays, There are very serious healthy issues of my father: asthma,diabetes; He can't run the medicine store ; He live by retirement pension--It's enough for him. For the past several years , government increased salaries for old teachers who were not permanent stuff. But my father is not good at cooking and clean house; The woman with him have been illness for many years and her sons like her to be with my father. My father refuses my inviting to my city. He love his place where he was born and live. 近来,我父亲身体有好多问题,哮喘,糖尿病等等;他不能在开药店了;他的退休金够他生活了。前几年,政府为民办教师增加了薪水。但我父亲不太会照顾自己,不能做好吃的,也不好好收拾屋子;他后找的老伴更是多年累病缠身,不能自理;她的儿女希望她和我父亲再一起。我父亲拒绝来我到我的城市这我旁边生活。他喜欢他成长生活的地方。

怕是难懂吧,我中文重新写一下: my father was born in 1948 that was prior year of establishing China PR. He had been a soldier for 3 years in peace period then been a teacher in primary school till retired.But he was always not a permanent staff so that just had a little salary for 30 years. There are many teachers just like my father received lowest wages in the remote poor villages of China.At the same time, my father's medicine store had made profit for a short time under help of my mother.There are 0.5 acreages farm land of my family around the village in the mountains.My mother cultivate the land, no any modern machine,just a hoe and reaping hook for all her Impoverished life of 47 years Ending with lung cancer caused by father's smoking. 47 years old of lifespan is value of average of North Africa. 我父亲1948年出生,正是建国的前一年。在和平年代当了3年兵,复员后当了一名小学民办教师一直到退休。他一直不是公立老师,职业生涯的30年都只能领取微薄薪水;在中国边远的贫困山区,有很多像他这样领取低薪的民办教师。在我母亲帮助下,我父亲的药店有过一小段时间的盈利期。在高山环绕的村庄四周,我家有4亩左右的田地。我母亲主要是种地,没有机械化设备,只有镰刀和锄头;在她47岁的时候因父亲吸烟导致肺癌,告别了贫困交加的一生。47岁也正是非洲人的平均寿命。
