追远

"追远" 

I came across this word in a drama show 'Little Nyonya'.

More or less it means, no matter how far we are, we must never forget our ancestors. 

Although its not quite related, it reminded me of '饮水思源'. Literally it means when you are drinking water, you must always remember its from the stream.

It means, you must remember who helped you before, and repay them in any other means.

This made me remember what I did in the past. I shouldn't have left without informing them. Its my fault, they helped me a lot, and now I am regretting.

Thats why, I must not forget those who helped me before anymore. No more regrets in the future. From fetching me to home, providing me shelter, food, to love and friendship. Thank you all.
