纸梯
感人的作文，父亲必读！
2022年湖南高考满分作文
原文：
你说你不像别人的父亲那样有本事，你只是个纸梯，纸梯什么也做不了。我说我愿意，愿意带着纸梯一路前行。去年冬天，你和母亲陪我在北京求学。雪雨纷飞的日子，你一手提着一袋腊肉转乘了三四趟车来到老师家门口，和老师点头哈腰说话的样子和那双被冻裂的大手我至今记忆犹新。临走时你一个劲地拜托老师多关照我，似乎把一辈子的谢都在那会儿道尽了。你陪我去购买寄宿用的衣物。结账时发现少拿了一件东西，于是叫你守着购物车排队等着。回来时，发现你竟坐在一旁的椅子上伏着购物车睡着了。侧仰着头，轻声地打着鼾。往返拿趟东西只不过三分钟而已，你竟已如此疲惫，那一刻，我久久站在你身边，凝望着你，不忍将你叫醒，嘈杂的超市在我心里突然也寂静了。十八年来我第一次如此近距离地观察你——那个在我出生时第一个抱我的男人，那个在我生病时鞍前马后照顾我的男人，那个对母亲说“如果你生个儿子，我们爷俩保护你，如果你生个女儿，我保护你们娘俩”的男人。随着我的成长已经年近半百。思及此，我被“年近半百”这个词语所吓倒，我无法想象几十年后你口吐不清，吃饭如同嚼蜡的日子。不知何时开始，你竟变得爱说重复的话，爱随手关灯。你开始变得邋遢，变得一久坐就体痛，变得爬上三楼都会体力不支。你曾经那么英俊。我的成长似乎建立在你的衰老上，我成长的养分似乎就是你年轻的生命活力。“秋风秋草正离离”仿佛就是你的写照。昔日那个将我扛在肩上的男人如今连提桶水上楼都会气喘吁吁。你是一个完美的父亲，我却是一个不完美的女儿。我尽全力让自己更加完美，只是为了告诉别人，我配做你的女儿。此刻，我在考场上写下你，我知道，你一定在学校门口焦急地等待着我的凯旋。我给了你太多希望，我不想让你失望。你曾经跟我说过，你不是大官，也不是有头有脸的大人物，你不能像别人的父亲那样当个铁梯子让孩子越爬越高，顺风顺水。你只是一个纸梯，纸梯什么也做不了。我说，谢谢纸梯，让我比别人坚强，比别人完美。我愿意带上纸梯一路向前。

Paper Ladder
A Touching Composition, A Must for All Fathers!
Full Score composition of Hunan college entrance examination in 2022
You said that you are not as capable as other children's fathers. You are just a paper ladder. The paper ladder can do nothing. I said I would like and I was willing to take the paper ladder all the way forward with me. Last winter, you and my mom accompanied me to study in Beijing. On a snowy and rainy day, you took a bag of smoked pork to the door of the teacher's house by bus for three or four transfers. The way you bowed and talked to my teacher and your frozen hands still remain a fresh and vivid picture in my mind. Before you left, you insisted on asking the teacher to take care of me. It seemed that you had given all your thanks for a lifetime at that time. You accompanied me to buy some clothes for my school boarding. At the checkout counter, I found that I forgot to take something, so I asked you to wait in line with the shopping cart. When I came back, I found that you were sitting on the chair beside me, sleeping over the shopping cart. You leaned your head sideways and was snoring softly. It was only for three minutes for me to get something back and forth that you went so far as to be so tired. At that moment, I stood beside you for a long time, staring at you, and could not have the heart to wake you up. The noisy supermarket was suddenly silent in my heart. For the first time in 18 years, I have observed you so closely - the man who first held me when I was born, the man who took care of me when I was ill, and the man who said to his mother, "if you have a son, he and I will protect you, and if you have a daughter, I will protect you two.". As I grew, you are nearly half a century old. Considering this, I was scared by the word "nearly half a century old". I can't imagine the days when you won’t be able to speak clearly and eat your food tastelessly in decades. I don't know when it began, but you were in a habit of repeating what you said and turning off the light as you left. You started to get sloppy, became physically painful when you sat for a long time, and became physically exhausted when you climbed up just the third floor. You used to be so handsome. I seem to have grown up in your aging, and the nutrient of my growth seems to be your young vitality. "Autumn wind is blowing away the autumn grass " seems to be your portrayal. The man who used to carry me on his shoulders is now even panting upstairs with merely a bucket of water. You are a perfect father, but I am an imperfect daughter. I try my best to make myself as perfect as I can, just to tell others that I deserve to be your daughter. At this very moment, I am writing about you in the examination room. I know that you must be anxiously waiting for my triumph at the school gate. I gave you too much hope. I don't want to let you down. You once told me that you are neither a high-ranking official nor a big shot. You can't be an iron ladder like other children's fathers to let your child climb higher and higher footloose and carefree. You are just a paper ladder, which can do nothing. I said, thank you for the paper ladder, which makes me stronger and more perfect than others. I would like to take the paper ladder all the way forward with me.
