"Autumn Memories"
After my legs became paralyzed, my temper became violent and unpredictable. Looking at the formation of wild geese returning north in the sky, I would suddenly smash the glass in front of me; listening to Li Guyi's sweet singing, I would slam the things on hand against the surrounding walls. My mother hid quietly and listened to my movements secretly where I couldn't see her. When everything returned to silence, she came in quietly again, looking at me with red eyes. "I heard that the flowers in Beihai are all blooming. I'll push you for a walk."
She always said this. My mother likes flowers, but since my legs became paralyzed, all the flowers she served have died. "No, I won't go!" I beat these two hateful legs fiercely and shouted, "How can I survive!" My mother rushed over and grabbed my hand, holding back her cry and said, "My mother, The two of us are together, working hard, working hard..."
But I never knew that her illness had reached that stage. Later, my sister told me that her liver often hurt so much that she tossed and turned all night long and couldn't sleep.
That day I sat alone in the house again, watching the leaves outside the window falling "swish". Mother came in and blocked the window: "The chrysanthemums are blooming in Beihai. I'll push you to see them." There was a pleading look on her haggard face. "When?" "Tomorrow if you want?" she said. My answer already made her overjoyed. "Okay, just tomorrow." I said. She was so happy that she sat down and stood up: "Then hurry up and get ready."
"Oh, are you bothered? It's just a few steps away, there's nothing to prepare!" She also smiled , sitting next to me, chattering: "After seeing the chrysanthemums, let's go to 'Fangshan'. You loved the pea yellow there when you were a child. Do you still remember that time I took you to Beihai? You just said Those poplar flowers are caterpillars, running and crushing one with one foot..." She suddenly stopped talking. She is more sensitive than me to words like "run" and "step on." She went out quietly again.
She went out and never came back.
