The original text of Golden Flower
If I become a golden flower, for fun, I will grow on a tall branch, swing in the air with a smile and dance on new leaves. Mom, will you know me?
If you yell, "Where are you, son?" I snickered there, but didn't say a word.
I will quietly open my petals and watch you work.
How does Jinhua express her feelings for her mother?
When you take a shower, put your wet hair on your shoulders, walk through the golden flowers shaded by green trees, and walk to the yard where you pray, you will smell the flowers, but you don't know that the fragrance comes from me.
When you sit at the window and read Ramayana after lunch, the shadow of that tree falls on your hair and knees, and I will cast my little shadow on your page, where you are reading.
But can you guess that this is a small shadow of your child?
When you go to the cowshed with a lamp at dusk, I will suddenly fall to the ground again and become your child again. Please tell me a story.
"Where have you been, you bad boy?"
"I won't tell you, mom." That's what you and I were trying to say.
