Translation of works
The kind mother is holding a needle and thread in her hand, making new clothes for the children who are going on a long trip. When she left, she was busy sewing clothes for her son's expedition, fearing that the child would never come back. Who can say that a little filial piety like Hemerocallis can repay the kindness of a loving mother like Chunhui?
