 ## Motivation
 
-In Neural Network, the backpropagation algorithm follows the chain rule, so we need to compound the gradient operators/expressions together with the chain rule. Every forward network needs a backward network to construct the full computation graph, the operator/expression's backward pass will be generated respect to forward pass.
+In Neural Network, many model is solved by the the backpropagation algorithm(known as BP) at present.  Technically it caculates the gradient of the loss function, then distributed back through the networks. Follows the chain rule, so we need to compound the gradient operators/expressions together with the chain rule. Every forward network needs a backward network to construct the full computation graph, the operator/expression's backward pass will be generated respect to forward pass.

+## Implementation

+In this design doc, we exported only one API for generating the backward pass.

+```c++
+std::unique_ptr<OperatorBase> Backward(const OperatorBase& forwardOp,

+The implementation behind it can be divided into two parts. Namely, ** Backward Operator Creating** and **Backward Operator Building**.

+A backward network is a series of backward operators. The main idea of building a backward network is creating backward operators in the inverted sequence and append them together one by one. There is some corner case need to process specially.

+   when the input forward network is an Op, return its gradient Operator Immediately. If all of its outputs are in no gradient set, then return a special `NoGradient` operator 
 
 2. NetOp 
 
-   when the input forward network is a NetOp, it needs to call the sub NetOp/Operators backward function recursively. During the process, we need to collect the `OutputGradients` name according to the forward NetOp.

+3. RnnOp
+
+   RnnOp is a nested stepnet operator.  Backward module need to recusively call `Backward` for every stepnet.
+
+4. Shared Variable
 
    **shared variable**. As illustrated in the pictures, two operator's `Output` `Gradient` will overwrite their shared input variable.
