Today is my mother’s 80th birthday. Happy birthday to my mother! My mother is an ordinary housewife, but I have thought she was amazing since I can remember! Maybe it's because she is beautiful and has beautiful eyes; or maybe it's because she has a pair of skilled hands and can make clothes and shoes; the most important thing is her hardworking, unyielding and strong character for the rest of her life. I think it is my mother's personality that subtly influenced us and mobilized our enthusiasm. All five of us brothers and sisters love work, love life, actively seek our own happiness, and strive to run our own small family!

My mother is really a beautiful woman. I always say that none of us sisters look like mothers, none of them look taller than mothers, and their skin is not as white as mothers. I feel very regretful. But there is no choice, you can only look like what you look like. Fortunately, my mother doesn’t think we are ugly, and she tried every means to raise us well in an era of shortage of supplies! Although we do not inherit the appearance of our mother, our strong personality is very similar to our mother.

Mother's hands are really coincidental. The clothes, shoes, and cotton gloves and hats we wore in winter were made by my mother while sitting under the kerosene lamp. Later, when my family got better, I bought a sewing machine, and my mother liked to make clothes for us. When I was in high school, I was wearing a pink lapel coat made by my mother. After we grew up and got married, my mother started making cotton clothes and pants for my grandchildren. When my daughter was a child, she wore one-piece clothes made by her grandmother, which were comfortable and beautiful.

Mother has been poor since childhood, and her father died early, and she has developed a self-reliance and perseverance character. He married his father in his 20s, and was less than 30 years old and was the mother of two sons and three daughters. With many children and poor family, the mother uses her intelligence to maintain this family. My family is in the countryside, and she likes to raise chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs to improve her life. We took us to do farm work and do housework with our father. The five of us brothers and sisters are very capable of doing things. My two sons do not learn how to use water, electricity and heating. My two sisters are in the countryside, work hard and work hard, and they are clean and live a good life.

Father started to get sick at the age of 54. For his father who has been sick for a long time, it is his tenacious vitality, but more importantly, his mother's careful care. My mother is 3 years younger than my father, and she has been taking care of her since her father fell ill. He became a doctor after a long illness and often gave his father a cupping, applied Chinese medicine externally, and massaged him. When taking care of fathers, our mothers rarely let us take care of them unless we are not feeling well. Two years ago, my mother suffered from hypertension and coronary heart disease . Her health was not as good as before, and her father was unable to take care of her. We proposed many solutions to reduce the burden on her, but my mother refused. Their pension problem made us very confused. But the mother was very determined, just not wanting to bother her children, nor did she want to use a nanny, and insisted on going to a nursing home with her father to take care of her elderly care home. Although we were very sad and felt that we had not fulfilled our children's obligations, we still had no choice but to send our parents to the nursing home. The mother felt much more relaxed, but she still thought about the children, just because she didn't want us to work hard anymore.

My mother also let me learn from her spirit of not accepting old age. Because she did not accept old age, her life in her later years was very fulfilling and happy. A person who doesn't accept age means that she doesn't accept age in terms of age. She never feels that she is already in her seventies and eighties. Two years ago, my mother suffered from hypertension and became dizzy and weak in her legs. She couldn't accept it and became older like this. She increased her exercise and led the old lady in the community to climb mountains and go for a walk in the park in the morning and evening. During the hospitalization and conditioning period, the doctor reminded her to pay attention to rest, and compared her to the metaphor that the elderly are like a car. They have been running for a lifetime, and all kinds of parts have aged to varying degrees, so they should pay attention to maintenance. What kind of doctor is she? Just a car repairman. After being discharged from the hospital, she still does what she wants. As long as she feels that her health can do it, she still keeps walking around; the second thing she doesn’t accept old age is that she doesn’t accept old age in terms of hobbies. She likes everything that young people like.I replaced the elderly phone with a smartphone, listened to music, read headlines, played WeChat, took photos, and took photos of Douyin. My mother's Douyin was better than me. When I went to see her, she either gave me Douyin or showed me the Douyin she took; third, she was not convinced of her dress. I really have to spend some time buying clothes. My mother’s clothes are bought by herself, and she doesn’t like them when we buy them. The colors are mainly beige and gray, and they are decent and generous.

Now that my mother is 80 years old, we will do our best to accompany her and wish her good health and happiness!
