母親喜歡一邊哼歌一邊縫製衣裳。

喜歡種植花花草草。

放美麗的劍蘭在晶瑩剔透的藍色花瓶。

熱愛旅行，拍照。

愛穿祺袍（偶爾會穿洋裝大圓裙）

歡喜燙頭髮，改變髪型。

熱衷於繡花，烹飪。

喜歡傳統扇舞。

歡喜和狗狗Ruby聊天。

愛喝溫水。

喜歡將一大塊仙草切碎，

加一大鍋水再煑一次，

放涼後才切塊放入每個小碗，

再加一點美麗雪白的糖粉。

她說這樣的仙草才清淡美味。

印象中她是溫柔貼心的媽媽。

漸漸的，

為了教養我們，

她變得堅持、嚴厲。

有時我會為己見與媽媽辯論，

我知道自己的態度不好

令她傷心。

想至此，

淚眼朦朧。

直到自己做媽媽了

才知道做母親的不容易。

孩子是母親生命中最重要的人，

也是母親心中永遠掛念的人。

My mother enjoyed humming a tune 

while sewing garments.

she used to 

like planting  flowers and plants,

and putting beautiful sword orchids

in the crystal  blue vase,

She was passionate about travelling

and taking photos.

She loved to wear cheongsam

( occasionally wear western round skirts)

She adore to have her hair permed 

and change hairstyle. 

She was keen on doing embroidery and cooking.

She enjoyed traditional fan dancing .

She liked chatting with our dog Ruby.

She loved drinking warm water.

She liked  to chop a large piece of grass jelly,

add a large pot of water and boil it again. 

After cooling, cut in pieces to put them into each small bowl 

and add a little beautiful snow-white powdered sugar.

She said this kind of grass jelly

is light and delicious.

In my impression, 

she was a gentle and considerate mother.

Gradually,

For educate us,

mum became persistent and strict.

Sometimes I argued with her 

about my opinion, 

I knew my bad attitude

broke her heart.

Thinking about this, 

my eyes are blurred with tears.

Until I became a mother

then I know that it is not easy to be a mother.

Children are the most important people in mother’s life,

also mother's favourite.
