Mother's love is like the sunshine in spring, warm and eternal, like a spring in summer, fresh and sweet. In our growth process, our mother was always the most solid backing, with endless patience and care, accompanied us through every spring, summer, autumn and winter.

So, what should we do on this special day? How can we make our mothers feel our love and gratitude?

Mother's Day actually originated in the United States. In the long course of history, it was quietly born and gradually spread to all parts of the world, becoming an international celebration day.
Specifically, Mother's Day originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century and was initiated by Anna Jarvis, who decided to establish such a holiday in honor of her mother and to show respect for all mothers.
Initially, Mother's Day was only celebrated in parts of the United States, but over time, it gradually became popular across the United States.
In China, although Mother's Day is a "foreign product", it is also deeply loved and valued by people. In the 80s of the 20th century, Mother's Day began to be introduced to Chinese mainland and gradually became widely accepted and promoted.
This day is not only a good time for children to express their love and gratitude to their mothers, but also an important day for the whole society to praise mother's love and carry forward the spirit of filial piety.

In our busy lives, we tend to neglect communication with our mothers. On Mother's Day, let's calm down and listen to our mothers' voices.
Share the bits and pieces of life with her and understand her thoughts and needs. This kind of spiritual companionship and care is more precious and meaningful than any material giving.
