The thread in the hands of the loving mother, the clothes on the body of the wanderer.
Before leaving, I am worried that I will return later.
Whoever speaks an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring.
Notes:
1. An inch of grass: a metaphor for being very small.
2. Sanchunhui: Sanchun refers to Mengchun, Zhongchun and Jichun in spring; Hui means sunshine; it describes maternal love like the warm sunshine in spring.
Translation:
The kind mother holds needle and thread in her hand. Make new clothes for the children who are traveling far away.
Before leaving, she was busy sewing tightly, because she was worried that her child would never come back after leaving.
Who can say that a little bit of filial piety like Xiaocao can repay the kindness of a loving mother like Chunhui?
