Father's Day is a special day for sons and daughters to show their deep love to their fathers. Maria doesn't think she is good at telling her feelings face to face, so she writes a letter to her father.
Dear Dad,
Happy Father's Day! You're not a rich man or a famous person. But in my heart, you are one of the greatest men in the world. I'm proud of you.
You have never been a famous man. You do ordinary things like paying phone bills (账单) on time and working as a worker in a factory. You take good care of our family. You help me with my schoolwork and do some shopping with Mom on weekends. The smile on your face shows you're glad with your life.
In the past, I didn't care whether you were with me or not. Now I am sorry to say I didn't show you the respect before. But I am thankful for what you have done for me. And I feel happy that now I can let you know how much I love you. You are successful as a husband, a father and a friend. I hope you will be happy forever!
Yours,
Maria

The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar（阴历）month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called "Dragon Heads-raising Day" (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February 24th.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
