Wandering in Meng Jiao

Wandering in 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?

Translation:

The kind mother has a needle and thread in her hand. In order to make new clothes for children who travel far away.

Before leaving, she was busy sewing because she was afraid that the child would never come back.

Who can say that a little grass-like filial piety can repay the kindness of a loving mother like Chunhui?
