中國國家主席
習近平的父親
(See English translation below)
送給他的三句話
小時候，我是一個自私的孩子，
有什麼好的東西，我總是想到自己，
從不顧及別人的感受，
結果同伴一個個離我而去。
為此，我十分苦惱，
常常在背後指責別人的不是。
一天晚上，父親煮了兩碗麵，
一碗麵上有一顆白生生的雞蛋，
而另一碗麵看上去什麼都沒有。
父親問我，你吃哪一碗？
那時雞蛋是十分珍貴的食品，
若非逢年過節或生日，是很難吃到的，
我當然不會放過這樣的機會。
於是，我毫不猶豫地選擇了有雞蛋的那一碗。
事實上，我的選擇是錯誤的，
正當我洋洋得意地吃完那顆雞蛋時，
我驚訝地發現父親的碗底竟然藏著兩顆雞蛋，
我後悔不已，恨自己過於心急。
見此，父親微笑著對我說：
「孩子，你務必記住，
**眼睛看到的未必是真實的，
想占別人便宜的人最終會吃大虧。**」
第二天晚上，父親又煮了兩碗麵，
仍然是一碗麵上有一顆白生生的雞蛋，
而另一碗麵看上去什麼都沒有。
父親讓我選擇，這一次我學乖了，
選擇了麵上沒有雞蛋的那碗。
父親默默地注視著我，一句話也沒說。
我趕緊拿起筷子，將上面的麵條扒開，
我滿以為下面會臥著兩顆白生生的雞蛋，
但很快我失望地發現，碗底除了清湯，什麼也沒有。
這時，父親意味深長地對我說：
「孩子，你一定要記住，
**不要過分相信以往的經驗，
因為生活有時也會欺騙你。**
不過，你不用氣惱，也不用悲傷，
全當是一次人生體驗吧，
這是你從書本上無法學到的東西。」
第三天晚上，父親同樣煮了兩碗麵，
還是一碗麵上有一顆白生生的雞蛋，
而另一碗麵看上去什麼都沒有。
父親讓我先選，這一次我沒有貿然行事，
而是情真意切地對父親說：
「爸爸，您是長輩！
又為我和這個家庭付出了太多，還是您先選吧！」
父親沒有推辭，直接選了上面有一顆雞蛋的那碗。
我猜想，剩下的那碗肯定沒有雞蛋，
但出乎意料的是，我非常幸運，碗底臥著兩顆白生生的雞蛋。
父親抬起頭，眼裏滿是慈愛，他淡淡地對我說：
「孩子，你千萬要記住，
**當你為別人著想時，好運就會降臨到你的頭上。**」
父親的話令我慚愧不已。
從那以後，我把這三句話當作了自己的人生準則，無論是為人還是處事，我首先想到的總是別人的利益，果然如父親所言，好運接踵而至，我的事業做得風生水起。

Briefly translated:
President Xi Jing Peng of China said:
When I was a small child , I was very selfish, always grab the best for myself. Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I didn’t think it was my fault but criticize others.
My father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life.
One day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles put the 2 bowls on the table. One bowl has one egg on top and the other bowl does not have any egg on top. He said ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want”. Eggs were hard to come by those days! Only get to eat eggs during festivals or New Year. Of Cos I chose the bowl with egg! As we started eating. I was congratulating myself on my wise choice/decisision and wallop up the egg. Then to my surprise as my father ate his noodles, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodes! I regretted so much! And scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision. My father smiled and sad to me, ”My child. You must remember what your eyes see may not be true. If u intent on taking advantage of people, u will end up losing!”
The next day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles: one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top. Again, he put the two bowls on the table and said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?” This time I am smarter. I chose the bowl without any egg on top. To my surprise, as I separated the noodles on top, there was not even a single egg at the bottom of the bowl! Again my father smiled and said to me, ”My child, you must not always rely on experiences cos sometimes, life can cheat u or play tricks on u. But u must not be too annoyed or sad, just treat this as learning a lesson .You cannot Learn this from textbooks.
The third day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles, again one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top. He put the 2 bowls on the table and again said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?”. This time, I told my father, ”Dad, u choose first. You are the head of the family and contributed the most to the family. ”My father did not decline and chose the bowl with one egg on top. As I eat my bowl of noodles, Sure in my heart that there is no egg inside the bowl. To my surprise! There were TWO eggs at the bottom of the bowl.
My father smiled at me with love in his eyes, ”My child, u must remember!When u think for the good of others, good things will always naturally happen to u!”
I always remember these 3 sentences of my father and lived and do my business accordingly. True enough, my business was a roaring success.
Xi Jing Peng
