The person I’d like to talk about is my father, who is the editor-in-chief of Shanghai Daily.

Although he retired two years ago, yet I still can remember his passion for his career. He is always so professional, competent and knowledgeable in his area.

Father was once given/awarded the top 10 editor-in-chief in shanghai.                                 

I also admire his personality. You see, he’s very friendly, hospitable and outgoing.

People in our neighbourhood like to discuss with him about their problems, father also likes to share specialty food he brought from other provinces with neighbours.

Actually, what I learnt most from father is to maintain a positive attitude towards life, never give up. Father is ambitious, adventurous and audacious.

He went through a lot of hardship before he became a successful editor. But he never surrendered, he told me to persist in the face of adversity and bounce back always after disappointment. Just to pick myself up and start all over again.
