The meaning of my life

With the high speed of the development of economy, many persons have lost themselves. As a very traditional person, I know something I need to do and something I should not do. Acctually, I do not know all the meaning of my life, but I believe that some parts are correct. Bucause of my some achievements, my parents and other relatives doing help for me are happy; my parents would calm down due to my daily behavior; as the consequence of my diligence, my family and my country would not be disappointed and so on. According to these points, I should think my life has many meanings. However, I do not think the meaning of my life is like that.
As a son, I should do something for my parents. Now I am in Singapore, so I can not play with them face to face. What is more, Chinese New Year is on the way, but I can not go back to celebrate it with them, so I would hurt their feelings due to the traditional custom in my hometown. All above and some other things make my families a little disappointed, so I should show my best for them. I should keep the words that I do not have the capital for pretension in mind to build up my capital and then full the meaning of my life.
As a Chinese, I should make contributions to my country. There is no need for me to make others remember me forever, but I should at least respect my country and support her to meet the deadline of the meaning of my life. Maybe, some years latter, I have to build up a family, so I would be more meaningful due to my support for my family and my job at that time. It is really cool.
Above all, I think the meaning of my life is to meet almost all the person or department caring me and I should work forever.

Oh, my best friends, I can't go back to celebrate new year too.

I read your post and I was really surprised to find someone like you who are really moved to make contribution to your country. I've never thought that far in my life. Maybe it is a good thing for me to try to think about it.
But, I don't really understand what you meant by you should work forever. Maybe I got it wrongly, but for me, I'm not having myself about working as my first priority.
However, it's nice to know about your culture.
