Do you know who said the phrase "The hearts of parents in the world are pitiful"? This sentence is always mentioned by mothers, but no one has ever thought about where this famous saying came from. Even if they thought about it, they probably wouldn't be able to guess it. This sentence came from the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, which is really unexpected.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world" is a sentence that is used frequently. Whether you are writing an article or expressing emotion in your daily speech, you will use this sentence. Especially in today's society, every family has fewer children, and the little ones are used to it! I feel that this sentence of Cixi has been passed down, and everyone scolded her.

How did Cixi say this classic sentence? When Cixi's mother had her 70th birthday, Cixi didn't have time to attend her mother's birthday, so she asked her courtiers to give her mother a lot of birthday gifts. At the same time, she wrote a piece of calligraphy in her own hand, framed it and sent it away. This calligraphy has been preserved ever since. After several generations, it was finally destroyed by the Cultural Revolution. The poem Cixi wrote to her mother is as follows: The truest love between parents in the world is that the tears and blood melt into the bodies of their children. He worked so hard to finally become a son, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are! Not to mention the fact that Cixi’s poem Escort shows that the Empress Dowager Cixi’s writing style is good!

In fact, if Cixi is placed among ancient Chinese rulers, she can be regarded as a fierce female hero. It's a pity that her power has caught up with a new era, so although she is indeed good at summarizing, she is still confused after all!

Cixi is a person who rules most of the times. She has all the faults that a good person should have, she is aggressive and cunning, but she accepts advice and employs people, and there is really something remarkable about her. Unfortunately, by the 1890s, it became clear that the system she was in and her entire thinking were lagging behind the times.

But I never thought that Cixi could leave such a classic saying!
