朱自清是最重要的中国现代散文家之一，他的作品《背影》更是同时被选入两岸三地的中学教科书中，因此几乎人人都读过这篇文章，甚至能够背诵其中的一些句子，由此可知此文的重要性与经典性质。今天就跟着我们的课程进入作家对父亲的思念当中，并从中探讨父子亲情在传统社会中如何表现。由于篇幅的关系，分成（上）（下）两课讨论。

It's been over two years since I last saw my father and the picture that has been burned into my memory is the silhouette of his back. That winter, my grandmother passed away and my father was let off from his job. Those really were times where bad things came in pairs. I travelled from Beijing to Xu Zhou to meet up with my father, so that we could travel home together to attend the funeral. When I saw my father in Xu Zhou and the house in totally disarray, memories of my grandmother came flooding back. Tears stream down my face. My father said: "It is what is is. There's no need to be sad. There's always a way out."

Once we got home we sold our possessions, so that father was able to pay off the debt. We then had to borrow money to cover the funeral costs. Those were darks days for our family, partly because of the funeral, and partly because of my father's unemployment. After the funeral, my father planned on seeking work in Nanjing and I needed to get back to Beijing for school. We decided to travel back up together.

When we got to Nanjing, a friend showed us around and we stayed for a day. The next morning I had to take the ferry to Pukou so that I could catch the afternoon train to Beijing. My father had business to attended to so we had decided that there was no need for him to see me off. Yet he still asked a waiter he knew from the teahouse to go with me. He gave his detailed instructions to the waiter again and again. Yet, he still felt uneasy, worried that the waiter wouldn't do the job properly. He mulled over the situation, still unsure of what to do. I was actually already twenty that year, and I'd already travelled back and forth to Beijing quite few time, there really wasn't anything to worry about. Yet, he was still hesitating over what to do. Finally, he decided that he would see me off himself. I tried to tell him several times that he didn't need to come. He just kept saying: "no bother, it's no good them going".

We crossed the river and got into the station. I bought the tickets, while he watched over the luggage. There was just too much luggage. We had to give the porter a tip in order to pass. So my dad began bargaining with them to fix a price. I really was full of it then, I thought my father making a fool of himself and I just couldn't help but jump in. Yet, he eventually fixed a price and helped me board the train. He had selected a seat by the door for me and I spread the purple fur coat he had handmade for me on the seat.
