To Mother-Xu Zhimo

Mom, it was the day before yesterday. I am completely yours, your only son; You are the center of my thoughts and concerns: the sun is in the sky and you are in my heart; Every time you are sick, mom, if the doctor says you are very ill, I can't help crying behind your back, thinking that the world is coming to an end.

At that time, I couldn't have had a happier moment, except sleeping in the same bed with you. My dear mother, resting on your arm, close to your chest, sleeping peacefully with your peaceful breath, just like a newly weaned child.

But in those twenty years, although I was so sincere and loyal, I didn't know it myself; The embarrassing word "love" was not in my mouth at that time, and this innate filial piety completely drowned my nature and life.

What a change! That doesn't mean, really, I don't love you anymore, mom! Or love you more than in previous years, that's not true; Only recently have I learned that love is not the true love of a boy that day, but the love of an adult;

I, the mother's child, have woken up and realized this strange life requirement; Life, its entrance is an eternal flame-love. Who wants to know the mystery inside, who wants to feel the pulse inside, (how many of us can die without regret! You have to throw yourself into the burning door.

But, mom, dear, let me clearly confess my love and filial piety to my parents today, which is not the whole of love; This is not enough; Sooner or later, this "lover" son will involuntarily shift the center of thought and concern from his own source of flesh and blood to the only soul.

He now finds that this is the will of God and should be integrated with his own will. From now on, don't worry, dear mother, don't worry, your only son will be emotionally far away from you.

Oh, no, you deserve happiness, mom! Because he, your son, can love you from now on, yes, he can love you twice, and his loyalty is only more concentrated than before; Because he, your child, found happiness, body and soul, and felt that the world was worth living for the first time.

He never thinks like this, and life is not too stingy. He was born with his due position, so he wants to praise life and the universe with gratitude and joy!

Damn, "we both" love you wholeheartedly, really, really, just like a pair of compatriots' young pigeons, loving the clear light when they wake up during the day.
