As we all know, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year. On this day, people all over the world will express their gratitude to their loving mother in their own way. The Chinese nation has a long and splendid ethical civilization, in fact, it also has its own Mother's Day, known as "Chinese Mother's Day", which is the second day of the fourth lunar month, that is, the day when Meng's mother gave birth to Mencius.
Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to parent-child affection and benevolence, and many great and influential mother figures have been born on this soil, including Mencius's mother, the Lady of Mencius. After Mencius lost her father at the age of three, this virtuous mother took full responsibility for raising Mencius, and good stories such as "Mengzi's mother moved three times" and "Broken Son of Mengzi" have been praised for more than 2,000 years.
In that era of backward education, Meng's mother had already paid attention to the external environment of her child's growth and the internal laws of learning. In addition to Meng's mother, there are also the mother-in-law of Yue Fei, the mother of Yue Fei, who is "loyal to the country", and the mother of Xu Shu, the strategist of the Three Kingdoms period, all of whom are listed as models of Chinese virtuous mothers, becoming the epitome of the image of a great mother in the long history, and also inspiring the benevolence and filial piety of generations of children.
Maternal love in real life may not be as converging as a historical story, it is more integrated into the daily life of a porridge and a meal, which is so sparse and trivial, and prosaic. "There is a kind of cold, so that the mother thinks you are cold", as long as the weather changes, the mother will worry about the child's warmth and remind the child to wear autumn pants. "Mom thinks you're cold", an Internet buzzword that is often used to complain, isn't it the most simple expression of maternal love in the world?
When I was a child, my mother's advice was tireless, and my mother's discipline was like a cage...... Suddenly looking back, under the afterglow of the setting sun, only the weak figure of the old mother and a strand of white hair remained. Like a fish in the throat! How many words that are difficult to pile up can only turn into a low call at this moment: "Mom! ”
I like "Homesickness" by contemporary writer Yu Guangzhong very much, and the poem reads:
Childhood
Nostalgia is a small stamp,
I'm on this end,
Mother is over there.
When you grow up,
Homesickness is a narrow ticket,
I'm on this end,
The bride is on that end.
Later,
Homesickness is a low grave,
I'm out there,
Mother is inside.

I don't know if you have heard the legend of "Wang'er Mountain" in Yingkou?
Legend has it that on the southern plains of Liaoning, there is an ancient city of more than 2,000 years - Xiongyue City. There is a beach on the outskirts of the city, and there is a poor family by the sea, and the mother and son depend on each other for their lives. The mother worked hard for her son's education, and the son was determined to repay his mother's kindness by studying hard to become a talent. Later, his son took a boat to Beijing to take the exam, but there was no news for many years...... The anxious mother watched and shouted on the beach every day, and did not look forward to the return of her son until the last moment of her life.
In fact, her son unfortunately capsized and fell into the sea on the way to Beijing to catch the exam! Perhaps it was mother's love that touched the heavens and the earth, and in the place where she stood Pan'er, a mountain peak was erected, which resembled a stone statue of her mother; Where she shed her tears, a hot spring was formed, moisturizing countless red and bright apples...... The villagers called the peak "Wang'er Mountain", built a mother's tower on the top of the mountain, and built a mother's hall at the bottom of the mountain, so that future generations can remember their mother's ordinary and great kindness.
In the final analysis, parents and children are a fate that is gradually drifting apart.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. Those who can't be chased in the past are also years; Those who go and can't see it, kiss also. "What can't be recovered is the years, and what you want to see but can't see after passing away are your relatives. Thanking and giving back to the mother's kindness is not only on Mother's Day, but also every day when we get along day and night!
