Father: Before I was born

Yellowed Picture

I knew my Dad, a young husband, from a yellowed photograph, which was taken when my parents wedded.


In the picture, Dad was against by Mom, a fair lady in a fashion dress and hair style in those days.

In his new millitary uniform, with a cluster of medal pinched on his left chest, Dad was smiling in his typical one, raising a corner of the mouth slightly. Clearly shining the eyes, and gleaming with confidence honed by countless battles during the wars in Anti-Japanese and Liberation.

It was Dad, in this yellowed-old picture.

No one would know how I am proud of this handsome and heroic man, even though in today, when I face his muddy eyes under the grey-white eyebrow.
