1986<\/h3>\n

The ritual all started in the year 1986. A father decided to take a picture with his son on his first birthday. Little did he know that he would spend the next 26 years taking a similar picture with him.<\/p>\n

Do you see? The facial characteristics between Father and Son are already recognizable.\u00a0The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.<\/p>\n

\n

1988<\/h3>\n

This picture was taken in the family\u00b4s apartment. As you can see, a year later, the child has already started growing up. We wonder where his mother is. Is she the one taking the picture?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1989<\/h3>\n

This picture was probably taken during a warm summer day. No wonder they have no problems taking a snap without a shirt on. It is 1989 now and the son is 2-years-old. Didn\u00b4t his mother want to be a part of the picture?<\/p>\n

\n

1990<\/h3>\n

The father, who has been identified as Li, is no more than 30 years old in the picture. The child looks content and happy in his father\u00b4s arms. We wonder if he feels the same now. Growing up, we start becoming more detached from our parents.<\/p>\n

\n

1991<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can see by the way he holds his child that his son is the most important member in his life. This is love in its highest form. The son, in turn, looks comfortable in his father\u00b4s arms, not having to worry about adult problems and the harsh world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1992<\/h3>\n

What a lovely place to take a picture. Both father and son can be seen enjoying their time at a beach on a hot summer day. Does the son know how to swim? Has the father done his fatherly duties by teaching his son how to swim?<\/p>\n

\n

1993<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is surprising that the father, Tian Jun, can still hold his son in his hands. He may not look much, but he sure does have phenomenal strength. We wonder if we\u00b4d be able to do that when we reach that age. However, we are pleased that the son has worn shorts for this picture. That is a relief.<\/p>\n

\n

1994<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This picture was shared by Tian Jun on a social media channel for all to see. We need more of Tian in the world and less of people that think it is a good idea to post pictures of their meals online. Tian\u00b4s picture will stand the test of time. None will care about photos of meals in a few years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1995<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can bet our bottom dollar that thousands of people have seen this picture all over the world. The father and son duo look closer than ever.<\/p>\n

\n

1996<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By this time, the father and son duo are already popular all over the world. It must certainly be a nice feeling for the son to share the spotlight with his father. We would be overwhelmed with joy if we were as famous as our fathers.<\/p>\n

\n

Finally, they are not the only ones in the picture. They seem to have bought a little doggy. What does the mother have to do to get in on the shot? We hope she is well and in the pink of health. We hope the child didn\u2019t have to grow up motherless.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1998<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, it appears as though Tian could no longer carry his child anymore from the start of the year, 1998. The child has grown tremendously over the years. He is nearly as tall as his father. However, we must state that he looks a tad bit malnourished.<\/p>\n

\n

1999<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several years later, the father- son duo still love each other and are comfortable embracing one another. We don\u2019t think we shared that sort of bond with our fathers when we were in our teenage years. We were the more ‘emo’<\/em>\u00a0types.<\/p>\n

2002<\/h3>\n

It is 2001 now and it appears as though the son, Tian Li, has finally reached his father\u00b4s height. And, we have finally revealed the son\u00b4s name. Why are they still taking photos while bare on the upper body part? Isn\u00b4t it about time that they put on some clothes?<\/p>\n

\n

2003<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tian Li is well into his teenage years now and is only a couple of years away from being deemed an adult. He has also become taller than his father. However, he does look like he still needs to put on some pounds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2004<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tian Li has grown into a handsome young man now. He is the spitting image of his father, albeit younger. Is this the longest his hair has been so far in his life? He could almost pass off as Bruce Lee. Don\u00b4t you see the resemblance?<\/p>\n

\n

2005<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is 2004 and Tian Le has dreams and aspirations now. It has been revealed that he wanted to become a real actor at that point of time. It is certainly a strange career path that he has chosen for himself. Most of the young adults of his age generally aspire of becoming doctors and engineers.<\/p>\n

\n

2006<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ok, it is 2005 now and Tian Le needs to stop taking pictures with his dad and instead snap pictures with his girlfriend. Does he have a girlfriend? We hope so, or else, he\u00b4ll just be wasting his good looks on his father forever.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2007<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is the year, 2006, and Tien has turned 20 years old. Enough talk about Tien for now. Have you noticed how his father has aged over the years? Those love handles and beer belly don\u00b4t look flattering on him at all.<\/p>\n

\n

2008<\/h3>\n
source: dailymail.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This picture was snapped in 2007 during a long winter night at Tien Le\u00b4s flat. So, the son has a flat of his own now? He has certainly come a long way since being first carried around by his father. We are proud of his progress and growth.<\/p>\n

\n

2009<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The year, 2008, was a special year for the father. It was the year that his son finally graduated and became a real film producer. So, it appears as though the son chose to become a film producer instead of an actor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2010<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The father has reached a milestone now. He is 50 years old and it is a special occasion for the father-son duo. Of course, they needed to take a customary picture. They were not stopping their ritual just yet, especially on dad\u00b4s 50th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n

\n

2011<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The son was not done studying just yet. He wanted to hone his skills and become better at his profession. Hence, he started his master\u2019s program in the year, 2010.<\/p>\n

\n

2012<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Can you believe that son is more than 25 years old in this picture? How time flies by indeed. So, what is next for the young man?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2013<\/h3>\n
source: twentytwowords.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, there\u00b4s only one thing left to do and that is for Tian to meet a beautiful young lady and get hitched. And, that became a reality in the year, 2012.<\/p>\n

\n

2015<\/h3>\n

Currently, Tian Le has his own child. So, the son became a father and the father became a grandfather. What a happy ending! We hope Tian Le carries on the photo sharing tradition with his son as well. And, we hope the mother is included too. Or else, the feminists could hunt him down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
