Today I was deeply moved after finishing reading one student’s blog (“papa mama I love you” in group 3 posted by Yan Han). Her title attracted me very much, so that I couldn't help to reading her blog. She did so well to express her feeling, and show her mama and papa’ great love of her. They have done so much for her, and she did remember all they have done for her. That is really moving. They cared of her when she were sick; they prepared everything for her before she went to school; they helped her study; they switch their phone to make sure that she would have a good sleep；They comforted her when she was in great depression because of her failure in the national universities entrance exam. So much have they done for her. I think that when she was in high school everyday she would study with the heart filled with the love of her parents. That was a really wonderful thing. And I can know from her words that she is really grateful to her parents.
I also love my mother very much. My father died when I was 2 years old. My mother was only 25-year old and very beautiful at that time. I can't image what a great and tough decision my mother made to choose to bring me and a 5-year-old sister up instead of just leaving us. I can't image how many nights she cried nearly to daze but still had to take care of me and my sister. I can't image how great the stress was for my mother to support us. I can't image how sad and depressed she was when my sister got a tough disease. I just can't image how worried she was when I got the chicken box….
I don't have a dad, but mom tried her best to give me what other children had. She would buy us new clothes before the New Year no matter how little money she had. She just never let us envy other children. We had new clothes every year but she didn't change her clothes for 10 years.
I lived in the school in junior high school and senior high school. When I was in grade 3 in junior high school, she would come every night to deliver my supper. I will never forget that one day she was badly ill and had a fever, my grandmother told her not to bring the supper for me, and let me eat in the canteen. But she refused; she said I need nutrient before the exam. So she came, drugged her sick body, walked for 1 km to my school just for my supper! I can’t forget the days before the NMET, she put off all her work and rent a house to stay with me. Every night she will talk to me to reduce my stress. At that time my neck hurt very much sometimes I couldn’t fall asleep. She then asked me to put my neck on her arm so that I could fall asleep. But she couldn’t sleep any more. Then in the morning, she would get up early without waking me up and prepared everything for me and let me sleep longer.
But I still failed in the exam. I was very upset and depressed. She hid her depression and shows the bright thing in the life for me. She just told me that it is a small dot in the life and I have a long way to go. She tried her best to comfort me. She encouraged me to go on my study in Huazhong University instead of just being regret and upset.
When I have the opportunity to come here, she appeared to be very happy for me and just asked me to go. But I know that actually she didn’t want me to leave her for such a long distance and a long time at all. She came with me to Beijing to see me off. At such a cold day I didn’t want to go outside at all. But the night before the flight, she discovered that she hadn’t prepared a headphone for me which I thought was not important at all. So I told her to forget about it. But when I waked up the next morning, she just came back from outside with the unimportant thing and breakfast and was trembling. That day was extremely cold. Later on I knew that she searched the whole school for the unimportant thing in that extremely cold morning. When I now think of her, I could see in my mind that she was trembling in the cold morning, and walking against the cold wind to look for headphone for her son!
Now I always call my mother and talk with her for a long time. One day I called her but she didn’t answer. So I decided to call her later on. But when I remember to call her it was already 10:00 p.m. I thought she might have fell sleep, so I didn’t call her. But the next day I knew that she waited for my call till midnight in such a cold winter.
So now, I will give her at least twice call a week, and all of these calls were before 8:00p.m. I knew that she would sleep better after my call…
Finally, I just want to copy her and say “ ma, I love you!”

Dear Kang Li
ReplyDeleteThank you for this blog entry. After reading it, I immediately called my mum and had a good chit-chat with her; something I failed to do for the last month or so. At the end of the call, I could sense that she was happy that one of her sons remembered
her and to call her...amidst our usual excuses of being very busy and tied up with our work.
Yes, I do agree with you that a mother's love is great and all-encompassing and the only 'reward' she yearns for is a simple 'Ma, I love you' from her child.
Kang Li, your blog tells me that you are now a very appreciative person, especially of what your mum has done for you.
Thank you very much for sharing your feelings with us. I can see your mother is really a great woman, I understand her difficualties to raise up you and your little sister. It is really tough for a single woman to do all these things, but your mother just never complained and did everything she can do for you. Your passionate words touched me a lot, it makes me think of my own parents, too. They have made so many sacrifices for me just trying to make my life better. In the last day when my mother came to see me off at the airport, She was smiling all the way and saying the encouraging words to me. But I knew she was very sad about my leaving. Your unique experience has made you a unique person, I believe you have the ability to make a difference. In the rest of the years in our university life, I think we should try our best to make our study as excellent as possible, after all, our success is the best reward for our parents.
ReplyDeleteI like this blog very much. I was deeply moved by what you recalled. No one can deny the greatness of mother. I can't help thinking of my mother--an ordinary woman. She often gives me whatever she has. Some people even say that she has spoiled me. But she still loves me as ever before. I have not seen her for a long time since I got on the plane. When I waved goodbye to her at the airport, she had tears in all of her eyes. I was heartbroken at that time. So I walked away and didn't turn back any more. I hope now she is happy and in good health. I think only by studying hard can we send our mothers best presents. Do you agree with it? I hope when next time we come back home, they are happy that we are more mature. We are treasures of mothers. So we should try our best to do better than we can!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful mother,and you are a good son. Continue to tell her you love her; these are little "heart gifts" that she will definitely cherish. Although I`ve only known you about three months,I can tell you`ve a bright future ahead of you because you are a good student. All the very best, Kangli!
ReplyDeleteKangli, your mother must be very proud of you and your achievements!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post with us. I have always seen you as a very mature and thoughtful person, and I now know that your mother is really one lucky mother! Do your best, and she will appreciate all that you've done for her.
