In his boyhood, every time they went out, his father would place him on the bicycle beam(车梁).

Slowly when he grew up, he could ride bicycle himself. Each time when they went out, he rode quickly ahead. And his father always rode in the back, shouting at him, "Ride slowly!" At this moment he always turned to his father and complained, "Ride quickly. You're too slow." Later, little by little, his father seemed to ride more slowly. He couldn't stand his father's speed, so he asked his father to ride in front of him and wanted to see if his father could ride faster.

However, his father always said, "You'd better ride in front of me as ever, so that I can follow you more quickly." At that time, he felt he had trouble understanding his father well. Then, slowly, his father became a dot behind him until finally out of sight.

In the end one day, he watched such a subject on TV, "In Africa, when the zebra group migrates(迁徙), will the adult male zebra walk in the front or in the back?" Naturally, he chose the front because he thought the strongest life should brave forward to pioneer for the successors (继承者).
