I wrote at the beginning of the selection: "I was too weak to play with savage children when I was a child." My mother doesn't allow me to run around and jump around with them. My mother doesn't allow the author to play with other children. On the one hand, it is because the author is weak, on the other hand, it is worried that the author will learn from these "barbaric" children. Mother's love for the author can be seen. What is even more touching is that the author made the ophthalmologist go to the general practitioner. When my mother heard that eyes can be licked with her tongue, she actually licked the author's eyes with her tongue. How great is maternal love!
Mother is a loving mother and a strict teacher. She always pays attention to the author's study and life and educates the author to grow up. "Every day at dawn, my mother wakes me up and tells me to put on my clothes and sit up." "She didn't tell me what I did and said yesterday until I woke up, asking me to admit my mistake." Mother's education of the author is so meticulous that every small mistake should be made clear, not to mention a big mistake. "She waited until the dead of night after closing the door to blame me, and then punished me, or knelt down, or ground my meat. No matter how heavy the punishment is, I am never allowed to cry. " For studying, my mother "told me to study hard" and urged me to get up early and go to school in the morning. "I was the first to open the school gate for eight or nine days in ten days. When my husband came, I recited the book. I didn't go home for breakfast. " My mother is a strict teacher.
In the education of children, the mother not only teaches by example, but also influences and educates the author with her own practical actions. At the age of 23, my mother became a widow, and my stepmother was in charge, and she suffered a lot in her life. On New Year's Eve, not only do we have to make New Year's Eve, thank the Kitchen God, give lucky money and so on, but the most troublesome thing is to send away a large group of creditors caused by opium gambling. Because it is Chinese New Year, my mother "never scolds him" and never shows any anger on her face. Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law put on angry faces and beat and scold their children to vent their anger. Mother just pretended not to hear them. My mother has been "forbearing" and "letting go". When she couldn't stand it any longer, she didn't get up and cried softly. She didn't scold anyone but cried for her husband, a bad karma. Her mother's tolerance, forbearance, kindness and gentleness deeply infected, influenced and educated the author.
Mother is also "very strong" and is not subject to any personal insult. When Uncle Wu complained in the cigarette shop that his mother "always asked for help when something happened at home, and there was probably always something good for him", her mother "cried with anger" and "questioned face to face" until Uncle Wu publicly admitted his mistake and made amends, and she didn't stop. Mother's "rigidity" taught the author an unforgettable lesson.
Mother's love for the author and strict education by example have deeply influenced the author. "I left her at the age of fourteen (actually only twelve years and two months). In this vast sea of people, I have been lonely for more than twenty years, and no one has ever taken care of me. If I learn a little good temper, if I get a little kindness to others, if I can forgive and understand-I have to thank my loving mother. " Between the lines of the text, the mother's deep concern and strict education for the author show her greatness.
