The behaviors and events of being grateful to others and the society:

1. The story of Zi Lu borrowing rice to honor his parents

There is an old Chinese saying: "filial piety is the first of all virtues". It means that filial piety and honoring one's parents is the first of all virtues. If a person does not even know how to honor his parents, it is hard to imagine that he will love his country and people. The ancients said, "As we care for our elders, so do we care for the elders of others; as we care for our children, so do we care for the children of others." We should not only honor our own parents, but also respect other old people, love and care for young children, in the whole society to create a respect for the elderly and love the young simple folk, this is our new era of students' responsibility.

Zi Lu was a native of Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. Among Confucius' disciples, he was known for his political skill and bravery. But Zi Lu's family was very poor when he was small, and he lived on coarse food and wild vegetables for years. Once, his elderly parents wanted to eat rice, but there was no rice at home. Zi Lu thought that if he could borrow some rice from his relatives over a few mountains, he would be able to satisfy his parents' request.

So the little Zilu walked ten miles over the mountains and brought back a small bag of rice from his relatives' house. Seeing his parents eating fragrant rice, Zilu forgot his fatigue. The neighbors praised Zi Lu for being a filial and good boy.

2. American settlers were grateful to the Indians.

The origin of Thanksgiving Day goes all the way back to the beginning of American history.

In 1620, the famous Mayflower, a ship full of 102 Puritans who could not bear the religious persecution in England, arrived in America.

The winter of 1620 and 1621 was a time of unimaginable difficulties, and they were in the midst of starvation and cold. By the end of the winter, only 50 or so of the settlers had survived. At this time, the kind-hearted Indians sent the settlers the necessities of life, but also sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish and plant corn and pumpkins.

With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a good harvest, and on the day of celebrating the harvest, in accordance with religious traditions and customs, the immigrants set up a day of thanks to God and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help by inviting them to join them in celebrating the festival.

On the first Thanksgiving Day, the Indians and the settlers gathered together, fired a salute at dawn, marched in procession into a house used as a church, expressed their thanks to God in reverence, and then lit a bonfire and held a great feast. The next day and the third day there were wrestling, races, singing, dancing, and other activities. The first Thanksgiving was a great success. Many of these celebrations have been passed down for more than 300 years and remain to this day.

In the beginning there was no set date for Thanksgiving, it was decided on an ad hoc basis by the states. It wasn't until 1863, after U.S. independence, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.

3. Daughters give thanks to their parents.

On one occasion, when my daughter was in fifth grade, around October, I had a high fever and was on an IV drip at the health center, and I left a note at home asking her not to wait for me, and to go to the opposite side of the road to buy a boxed lunch on her own when she came back from school. But at 6 o'clock in the evening, the door of the hospital room was pushed open, only to see my daughter come in with a thermos flask. It was rice and a few small dishes she had made with her own hands (some fried beans with loofah, scrambled eggs, etc.) At that time, I was stunned because my daughter had never done anything like this before, and the food tasted pretty good. My daughter said, "You must learn to cook for mom yourself and learn to take care of others." I was really very touched at that time.
