"Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" was not broadcast first, with the "Dancing Reuters", "The director did not dare to get up", "The contest of the dark poke" and other program-related topics were hotly discussed, and a strange sense of familiarity also came to the face: there seems to be such a person at home, who has a special love for square dancing; every holiday, only she gets up early in the morning to take care of the housework, and you rarely get up early but never dare to disturb her dreams; until now, many people still can't escape the fear of being dominated by "other people's children"... The sisters who ride the wind and waves are clearly the appearance of the person we are most familiar with.
The home life in the special period makes the image of the mother become extremely vivid. Especially at such moments, when you turn your gaze to real life, you will find that the mothers around you can ride the wind and waves.
Mothers who ride the wind and waves
“
Mom goes to take care of Wuhan, you help Dad take care of your brother.
”
This is an agreement between a doctor from Henan and his son before leaving for Wuhan to fight the epidemic. On March 24, she successfully completed her mission and returned home. My 7-year-old son greeted him with a sign that read: We've all done it.
Chen Yanran in Hefei Forty-Five, write homework seriously!
Shouting to the children through the text on the protective clothing was Zhou Guohong, a member of the third batch of medical teams in Anhui and a nurse at hefei BOE Hospital. Because of the busy work of the Fang Cabin Hospital, before taking this photo, Zhou Guohong had not talked to her daughter on the phone for 48 hours, but she was still very concerned about the situation of her daughter who had just entered the first grade of junior high school studying at home, and had proposed to open a video to see her daughter's homework, but was dissuaded by her daughter on the grounds that "her mother was too tired". Helplessly, Zhou Guohong can only use the hard-core way of "protective clothing shouting" to convey the requirements for her daughter.
Zhou Guohong said in an interview with the media that it is precisely because of the inability to accompany, it is necessary to redouble their efforts at work, to become a role model for their children, to let their daughters take a good look, mothers are working hard to fight the virus in the most dangerous places, and hope that their daughters will also study hard in the classroom, not afraid of difficulties, and have the courage to fight.
Home isolation, Fang knows how difficult it is for full-time mothers.
In normal times, working mothers tend to experience subtle role transitions during the week due to their different circumstances – during the working day, the proportion of professional and family roles is relatively balanced; during the non-working day, it is more dominated by family roles. In special times, such role reversals are almost negligible, and even professional women have more or less appreciated the burden of full-time mothers.
In the British drama "Flack", the heroine Robyn's sister Ruth was originally a sentimental mother of three sons, and in the second season, Ruth broke away from the identity of a full-time mother and returned to the workplace. In the face of the interviewer's questioning, she threw a voice:
"I cook, clean, organize everything, pay bills, buy groceries, help my children with their homework, file taxes, arrange appointments for my family and dentists, doctors, optometrists; my calendar is densely packed with activities, plans, games, appointments; I send out more than 300 birthday cards, Christmas cards, and thank you cards every year, each of which is my own inscription, because the art of calligraphy is gradually disappearing. I want to tell you that I have applied my management skills to the fullest. ”
Ruth's experience as a facebook character is clearly higher than life. But it is undeniable that the "divine beast" in the family is always a sweet burden for mothers.
For Zhu Youting, a former anchor of Phoenix Satellite TV who currently lives in Finland, it is relatively easy to live at home with the "divine beast" during the epidemic. In Finland, working parents have two months of paid leave every year, so there is no shortage of experience with children at home, she said. However, since she wants to ensure that she gives her child 1,000 hours of outdoor activities in a year, she still needs to plan her time reasonably, take her child out for a walk for about 3 hours a day, and ask her children various questions on the way. "Finland, which cares about social trust, still hopes to continue to like your living environment and continue to unite people through different ways to maintain a certain social distance."
My family's "back wave" is at home,
Every day they can shoot me "dead" on my desk.
The return of working mothers to work naturally comes earlier than the resumption of classes by children. For Zhu Yan (pseudonym), a senior white-collar worker in Beijing, a son and a daughter can not only make up a "good" word, but also an extra "tired" word. Taking care of her preschool daughter is mainly about food and clothing; but to take care of her son who is in the 3rd grade of primary school, she needs to evolve multiple identities such as "tutor" and "network management" in addition to her own work. During the home office period, she was able to cope with it, and after returning to work, Zhu Yan was simply bitter.
"Unmarried colleagues listen to my daily 'accusations' about my son's unconsciousness, and they all hear the fear of 'marriage and childbearing syndrome'." Zhu Yan said that colleagues throughout the office are witnesses to her remote control of her son's learning. Her mobile phone has nearly ten alarm clocks set every day, recording when her son goes to school online classes, when he goes to English tuition, when he completes his homework, and when he goes downstairs to jump rope. Every time my son completed a homework, he had to take a photo and send it to Her on WeChat for inspection.
In the eyes of colleagues, Zhu Yan is a typical "superhuman mother" - from time to time between work, you can hear Zhu Yan ruthlessly dismantling her son's desk, either an ancient poem written silently, or an English exercise writing one page less. The result of her son's frequent worries for Zhu Yan is that her rare self-consciousness is considered to be a small luck, enough to "record a good life" in the circle of friends.
The video I just took today, is it getting better and better?
Shooting videos, using editing software to score music, adding special effects, and then sending the cut videos to the family group to "ask for praise" is the biggest pleasure of Yang Li, 63, during the quarantine period. Yang Li is a "hipster" among friends of the same age, usually likes to travel around, write travel notes, and also participate in the local middle-aged and elderly model team in Chongqing, and her retirement life is quite fulfilling. During the period of home isolation, it is obviously impossible to go out and party, but her online gatherings with her old sisters have never stopped.
In the 3 months of squatting at home, middle-aged and elderly people could not build the "Great Wall" and wave silk scarves, and the Internet became their new entertainment position. Yang Li said that her daughter works in the field and can't teach her to "touch the net" by hand, but she explores herself while asking friends who have conditions around her, during the epidemic, in addition to online drama chasing and online grocery shopping, she also downloaded mobile PHONE APP to record songs, selfie videos to participate in the "finger dance" challenge, etc. Passionate about travel, she also learned to cut pictures, replacing the background of her photos taken at home with the sparkling ancient town river and making a dynamic video release. "Young people may not think so, but at our age, 'cloud travel' videos are definitely a scarce commodity in the circle of friends."
"Superman Mother" in the eyes of the "Divine Beast"
In the year of great changes, the "divine beasts" are also quietly changing.
Oyku, a 6-year-old Turkish girl. After a month of separation from her mother as a medical worker due to the epidemic, Oyku suddenly saw her mother while playing, she first took her hands and pretended to be angry with her mother, until her mother hugged her, the girl finally couldn't control her thoughts of her mother, cried loudly, and cried and laughed and asked her mother if she could stay longer.
In China, Chen Xin, a post-80s nurse at Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, has been staying in a hotel with other colleagues since the outbreak of the epidemic in January; her husband Chen Guoxi, as a doctor in the same hospital, and Chen Xin live in different hotels, both of whom work three shifts 24 hours a day. The 7-year-old daughter and 1.5-year-old son temporarily lived with their grandparents, and Chen Xin learned that for the first half a month, the daughter pestered her grandparents every day to find her parents. But later, when Chen Xin came home on a video call, her daughter showed her a painting she had drawn on a small blackboard, which read: Daddy come on, Mommy come on, Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital everyone cheers! The words were childish, but they touched her.
Also growing rapidly is the son of a netizen in Luohe, Henan. 3 years ago, her mother suffered from small cell lung cancer, the disease recurred a few years ago, just underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy, it was when the resistance declined, and then the epidemic came. She took her mother home, and after taking quarantine measures, she asked Zhan to go to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and the only thing she could not let go of was her mother, who was in urgent need of care. When the son learned of her concern, he said, "Mom, you go, if it were me, I would go too. She burst into tears...
In the Japanese drama "Tokyo Women's Picture Book", young female group members say to fans after a performance, "Our dream is to become an idol who gives you courage", but the middle-aged woman who passes by does not think so: "Obviously, a woman like me who is neither young nor slim can show real courage by dancing in a miniskirt." The cold words in the play reveal a warm truth: Mothers who ride the wind and waves, it is your courage and versatility that dispel the haze for the children.
@ Progressive Youth Week
Sincerely admire my mother, insist on cleaning every other day, and at night, either walk on the treadmill for an hour, or do exercises for an hour, good self-discipline!
@Dashing shallow shallow shallow
Recently, the epidemic quarantined at home, and I slowly found that the happiness at home is much higher, and this happiness has cured me of occasional world-weariness. I learned from my mother how to love people, how to express concern, how to take care of people. Before graduating anxiously, I found a remote and stable job that was not at all comfortable. Being alone after work is even more suffocating and withdrawn, and there is no willingness to find the joy of a new life.
What was supposed to be a month's vacation has now been two months, and with my family at home, I seem to be gradually becoming happier. Although there are also trifles, it is the fireworks of life that makes me feel really alive. Today I also held my mother's hand, warm, my hand is always cold and cold, when I hold it, I feel that my heart is also warm, and it makes me feel that the world is beautiful and worth living well.
As the order of production gradually returned to the right track, the abnormalities of the special period gradually became normal. 50 silk scarves have floated up in the Kunming World Expo Park, and suburban tourism bloggers have also reappeared in the circle of friends. In a sense, the past period is worthy of gratitude, because it is this time that makes us feel up close that the mothers who ride the wind and waves are the treasures that are close to us. They demonstrate how to deal with the world with great weight, and use their little luck to heal our every sunny day.
And in this festival that belongs to them alone, mothers who hope to cut through thorns in their respective fields can also stop and enjoy the pampering given by the people around them, without "riding the wind and waves" and enjoying the "wind and waves". As for what kind of pampering to give specifically, the choice of Phoenix TV anchors is...
This Mother's Day, what gift do you plan to give to the "mother who rides the wind and waves"?
