Dear Richard,
Last week was your grandma's birthday and today is the Mother's Day. I would like to share with you two stories on the love to Mom.
Wang Xiang (¤ý²») and his mother lived in a very poor village. During a winter, Wang Xiang's mother got a disease and became very ill. For her recovery, she required to drink a fish soup. However, in this cold season, the pond was frozen. Without any alternatives, Wang Xiang lied down in the pond and used his body warmth to melt the ice. Wang Xiang's love moved the heaven. A fish jumped up from the pond. Wang Xiang caught it and brought home to make soup for his mom.
Bo Yu (§B·M) was a middle age man. He loved and respected his mother very much. His mother, who was a senior, had a very bad temper. She hit Bo Yu with a big stick when she wasn't happy with Bo Yu. Bo Yu understood his mother and accepted it with no confrontation all the times. One day, when his mother hit him again, Bo Yu cried deeply with tears. He was hurt not because of the hit. On the contrary, he found that the hit was not as strong. He started to worry about his mother's health and that his mother would leave him soon one day.
With love, Dad
