Mother's Day is coming, this article is dedicated to all the great mothers.

      In this picture, we can see a mother who is very old, unable to see clearly, probably very weak. What else can you see? Do you see the inner world of a mother living in the countryside?Yes, I will tell you something about an ordinary mother, an ordinary woman among millions, my mom.

   She was born in the 1960s, and now she is at her fourty five. I see how she is getting older and older within years because of nonstop labor work. I can also see how she becomes more and more strong-willed with the change of the family.

   She was born in a farming family, which was decided by the unfair God. Though she struggled to finish her Junior High School education, she was unable to further more. In this case, she stayed in the countryside, and became a farmer. The farm work is hard, as you can imajine. However, she makes every effort to support the whole family, through working day and night. At last, both her daughters receive college education and become well-educated persons. What a great mother! She gave us life, and sends us to the world of knowledge. We not only gain flesh and blood from her, but also gain  souls.

  My mother just does most mothers in the countryside does. They are very very poor but they have broad mind. Maybe they can never eat delicious food throughout their life, just to support their children's tuition fees. My roomate Michelle's mom is in charge of a restunrant, and she works from 2:00am. In this way, she has sent three daughters to universities.You can imajine how hard a life she is living!

   Maybe in many people's mind, the image of a countryside woman is like this: Hard-working but dull,lacking of knowledge,  sometimes rude, and easy to quarrel with neighbourhood. In fact, they are the most unselfish group in the society. They are the most loving people in the world, and they are also playing the most moving figures in our life. Aren't they?

Everyday at night before going to bed, I read a pericope of the Analects of Confucius.Everytime I read it, I regain the peace of my soul.the other day, I read the pericope of savoir-vivre,and shared it with friends here.I was so happy a friend said he learnt a lot from me. Reading the Analects of Confucius can make people of modern times wiser.Today I am gonna share some knowledge gained again.

   In mordern times many people feel they are unhappy,sometimes for no reasons, sometimes for many reasons.No matter what the reasons exactly are, we should know one of the reasons is that we are troubled by interests.Sometimes interests appear in a way of fame and gain.Sometimes they appear only in a way of the others' approval and praises and the the increase in your wealth. Confucius teaches us not to be so eager about interets. He looks down upon those eager interest pursuants. He believes persuing morality and justice.  Only with this self-cultivation, can a person make sacrifice to his country.

   Recently, many Chinese state they love their motherland,and can sacrifice to protect their motherland. In fact, in their real life, they spend most of their time on persuing the small benefits of their own. Concerning the national affairs and others' interests, they just show indifference.

   Though what Confucius teaches were mostly applied in his time, we can regain the power of soul to save the lost great morality and justice of a person in mordern times.
