"Mom, I want to eat the red oil you made" "Mom, why is this dish so salty today...... Time flies, and suddenly I found that the "Superwoman" in my eyes when I was a child seemed to be old. She doesn't know when she started wearing reading glasses, and her beauty can't get rid of the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she becomes more and more dependent on you...... Unspeakable distress welled up in my heart.
Mother's Day should be said to be the "foreign festival" that resonates most with the Chinese. The pronunciation of the word "mother" is highly similar in the world. Gratitude to one's mother is also highly consistent in China and the West. In the Western world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year as a way to thank mothers. Chinese pay attention to filial piety, love and affection, and return the grace, so after Mother's Day, an imported foreign festival, was introduced into China, it resonated with the Chinese people.
In the traditional definition, mom might be like this –
Conceived in October, once delivered, and cared for many years. Sacrificing a job or promotion opportunity to work for your husband and children......
In fact, mothers can also live "differently" -
Left-handed career, right-handed cute baby. Balancing work, childbearing and parenting, they are becoming more and more confident, calm, refined and elegant.
They are mothers, and they are not just "mothers"
In my memory, my mother's world is very small, and she can only fit us. In fact, mother's world can also be very big and exciting, "mother-level international" Zhang Xin returned to the green field to help the Women's Asian Cup reverse championship; Principal Zhang Guimei sent thousands of girls out of the mountains, and she was also the "Mother Zhang" of hundreds of orphans; Tu Youyou devoted herself to the study of artemisinin and saved millions of lives, but she was once not understood by her daughter; "Shen 13" astronaut Wang Yaping went to the sky to "pick up stars" and fulfill his promise to his daughter...... Not defined by anyone, they are mothers and can be any role.
Different people have different perceptions and interpretations of mothers.
There is a classic line in "Please Answer 1988": Mom is the most powerful name, and I feel choked in my throat just by calling this word.
Zhang Ailing also sighed: Mothers have a common problem, as long as you say which dish is delicious, they will cook that dish frequently, until you complain in disgust, in fact, she is desperately trying to give you what you think is good, give it to you, and love is overwhelmed.
Mr. Ji Xianlin also said: No matter what reputation, status, happiness, or honor in the world, it is not as good as staying by my mother's side, even if she can't read a word.
The so-called parents and children are just your willfulness, and you meet her infinite tolerance!
The reserved and introverted Chinese people's love for their mothers finally found a good opportunity to express Mother's Day. Every year during the Mother's Day cycle, the sales of brand-name bags and brand-name cosmetics will increase significantly. The children always want to take advantage of the festive atmosphere to show their filial piety to their mothers and do their best. But flowers, bags, and cosmetics are far less loving and rewarding than the company of children.
The holiday is just a reminder, and without the holiday reminder, we still have to do our duty. You don't have to wait until Mother's Day to think about being grateful to your mother. Wanderers from afar pick up the phone in their hands and chat with their mothers at home. Children in the vicinity should take more time to go home to spend with their mothers. Every day with children is a holiday for mothers.
