My mother was born in a poor peasant family and lived in a small mountain village as big as a palm in the mountains in western Henan. Because her family was too poor and her grandmother died of illness, she had to drop out of school after only a few days of school and took on all the affairs of the family at the age of 10. But she is simple and hardworking, kind and generous, kind and responsible, and teaches me the principles of being a human being with practical actions. Every simple and sincere teaching is like a beacon, guiding and illuminating my growth.

My mother is very strict with us and often warns us: "Since you thieves, you will steal gold when you grow up." "If you don't make up for a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole." "People should go straight and do well."

　　My father is in the coal mine all year round, and his mother takes on the burden of the family and educates us brothers even more severely. What I still remember is the time when I was 6 years old. In that hot summer, we would go to the village convenience store to buy 5 cents a pack of saccharin. The white particles, three or four particles, were put into the cool water bottle that had just been dug, and shake it gently for a few times. The taste was much more delicious than the current ice cream and ice cream. I couldn't resist the temptation, so I invited a few children to the convenience store to check it around. When I was not paying attention, I put my hand into the small bag containing saccharin and pinched a few packs...
When my mother found out, she beat me up and said, "I'll let you remember!" That was the most angry time in my impression of my mother. She locked me up for a day and warned me, "I heard that I'll chop you up with someone else's stuff." This incident had a great impact on me, and since then I really resisted all kinds of temptations. Now I still tremble whenever I think of it.

　　Mother is skillful and skillfully cuts clothes and pants, and is very skillful. In that era, there were not many families in the village with sewing machines, and my father first bought a Feiren brand sewing machine. Every winter, many people at home ask their mother to do this and that. The mother always greets her with warm smiles, which makes half of the village learn to use sewing machines. Many times, they also apply fabrics when they work with food. When I complained about her, she always smiled honestly: "Who is the neighbors and fellow villagers has no difficulty." My mother uses small things in life to educate us in a subtle way and teach us how to be a human being. My mother often said, "When people do things, God is watching. Keep your duties and do not deceive God." My mother, who has never read many books, has kept her simple words in my heart, making me safe and kind, and a broad and down-to-earth heart.
