Recall my mother's original text

"Memories of Mother" is a reminiscence essay in which Comrade Zhu De deeply mourned his mother. The mother in this article is an ordinary and great working woman, a typical example of beauty.

I was very sad to learn that my mother had passed away. I love my mother, especially her hard work all her life. Many things are worth remembering forever.

My family is a tenant farmer. Born in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, Hakka people moved to Ma 'anchang, Yilong County, Sichuan Province when "Huguang fills Sichuan". For generations, we have cultivated land for landlords, and our families are poor. Our friends are honest, poor and middle peasants.

The mother gave birth to thirteen children. Because the family was poor, they couldn't feed all of them, only eight were left, and the regenerated ones were forced to drown. How sad and helpless this is in my mother's heart! The mother raised eight children by herself. However, most of her time is occupied by housework and farm work, so she can't take care of the children, so she can only let them crawl in the fields.

Mother works very hard all day. When I was four or five years old, I naturally helped her. When I was eight or nine years old, I could not only pick and choose, but also farm. I remember when I came home from a private school, I often saw my mother cooking on the stove sweating, so I quietly put away my books, carried water or herded cattle.

I left my mother soon because of my study. I am a child of a tenant farmer's family, and I had no money to study. At that time, the oppression of rural landlords and the brutality of the government forced mother and father to make up their minds to save money and cultivate a scholar to "support the family."

I haven't been home since Xuantongyuan (1909), but I picked up my parents in the eighth year of the Republic of China (19 19). But they got used to working and were uncomfortable leaving the land, so they went home. Father died on his way home. Mother went home and continued to work until the end.

Mother's greatest feature is that she has never been unemployed in her life. One minute before I was born, my mother was cooking on the stove. Although I am old, I still love production. Last year, another letter from my nephew said: "Grandma is not healthier this year because she is old, but she still works nonstop and especially likes spinning cotton."

Mom has left me now, and I will never see her again. This kind of sadness is irreversible. Mother is an ordinary person. She is just one of the millions of working people in China, but it is these millions who have created and created the history of China. How can I repay my mother for her kindness?

May mother rest in peace underground!
