Roberto Gómez Bolaños


Only few people can make you laugh in such a way that you end up in never forgetting them. This is the case of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, the famous Mexican actor with his endearing characters such as "El Chavo De Ocho" and "El Chapulín Colorado". Not only did he mark a generation of children, but he also kept his characters alive through the time until today, when he is admired by people of all ages. I remember waking up early just to watch his show, laughing endlessly as well as receiving the teachings his shows offered. His death has left an empty space in the hearts of those who grew up contemplating his art. "Under no circumstances should people forget to be honest, respectful and sincere", was the lesson we learnt from each episode. These are universal values that can be instilled to our children generations. We can see in today's society that many of our children lack these values either because we as society do not consider them important any longer, or because we have forgotten to keep on instilling these values on them. The naïve language used in the show combined with the performance of extraordinary actors and actresses made the show an unforgettable one. Millions of people gathered on the streets to say goodbye to this incomparable artist, who will be in our hearts forever after, as long as we watch him in "La Vecindad".
