SAMPLE

Dear Mr. Wang,

I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from my current position due to some factors involved which I can't stand.

First of all, the salary has proven to be much lower than you promised at the time I took up the job, and I have a large family to support. What's more, a period of experience here shows to me that my personality doesn't agree with the relational demands between colleagues. Most importantly, I feel rather disappointed and left out on the job itself because in the past two months I was never given any really important responsibility.

I am greatly appreciated if you take my resignation into consideration.I honestly hope that you can approve of my requirement for resignation. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

SAMPLE

The picture above symbolically demonstrates how three sons and a daughter treat their old and helpless father. They each stand in a different comer of a football field. The eldest son kicks out the father while the other children are prepared to ward him off. It is sad to see none of them is willing to receive and support their father.

What it illustrates is a common phenomenon in today's society: many grown up children refuse to support their aging parents. It is generally accepted that not willing to supporting the graying parents has gone far against the Chinese traditional virtue and value. While young people enjoy a comfortable life, their parents are neglected and left in utter poverty, as these elderly people have grown so physically weak that they no longer have the power to support themselves.

I think these children have gone against their own conscience and therefore may be put under strong attacks of words and contempt by us. According to Chinese culture, to respect the old and love the young are the traditional virtue and to be kind to one's parents is the height of it. We owe so much to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much in bringing us up. It is against nature for us to escape from our responsibility of taking care of our parents when they are old.

On the contrary, we have the duty to pay back their love by making their later years enjoyable and happy. With love and respect for the old, our society will be full of sunshine; without love and respect for the old, our society will be dark through.
