The kind mother has a needle and thread in her hand.
In order to make new clothes for children who travel far away.
Before she left, she was busy sewing.
It's really worrying that the child will never come back.
Who can say a little grass-like filial piety,
Can you repay the kindness of a loving mother like Chunhui?

? A traveler's song
? (Tang) Meng Jiao
The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?

Meng Jiao wrote "Welcome your mother to work in Li" on the theme of Ode to a Wanderer. Meng Jiao was homeless in his early years and poor all his life. Until the age of 50, he got a humble position, became the county magistrate of Liyang County, and ended his long-term wandering life, so he lived with his mother. The poet was frustrated in his career and suffered from the indifference of the world. At this time, he felt the value of his family more and more, so he wrote this heartfelt and touching poem praising his mother.
