My Mother was written by Mr. Lao She in memory of his mother. It is a tearjerker and one of his best representative essays.

Today, I read My 'Mother' with great interest. This essay mainly talks about: Lao She lost her father when she was young, and was nurtured by her mother alone. She has profound feelings with her mother. After Lao She's mother passed away, the family didn't let Lao She know until the eve of her mother's birthday the next year in order not to worry him. So, with the heart of a son who lost his mother, he poured out his love, gratitude and memory for his mother to readers, and wrote the essay My Mother.

With his sincere love for his mother, Mr. Lao She described his mother's short life in plain and simple language. He did not hesitate to describe in detail, highlighting his mother's good qualities such as diligence, kindness, helpfulness, strong will, and great selfless maternal love. The article ended with "Heartbreak! Heartbreak!", but it made the readers cry! shed tears!

In sharp contrast to Mr. Lao She's love for his mother, it is those wandering old people on the street.

The wandering old man on the street is in rags, with scattered hair, hunched back and carrying a sack. They braved the scorching sun in summer, braved the cold wind and snow in winter, and rummaged through the dirty and smelly garbage cans to find some useful things to make a living. Some of them have no children, some have lost children and some have been abandoned by their children. The old people wander in the streets all day, sometimes they can't find much paper and cans in one day. They may be hungry all day, or they may have eaten the last meal. Some children are unable to support the elderly because of poverty, and are forced to abandon the elderly; There are also some elderly people whose children are not poor, but they do not want to support the elderly and abandon them. I don't think it's a reason for them to have a poor family or not want to support them. They should treat their parents well. In fact, parents most want to enjoy family happiness with their children!

I saw a cartoon in the newspaper. Although the author only used a few words, it has far-reaching implications. The title of the cartoon is Mother's Printed Cloth, to the effect that a mother wrapped her child in her most beautiful printed cloth and held it in her arms; The child grew up, but let the elderly mother leave home with something wrapped in calico. The mother left home with tears and trembling all over. In the past, mothers wrapped their children in beautiful calico and dressed them up beautifully. Parents did not ask for anything in return, but only wanted their children to be good to themselves when they grew up; The child, however, drove his mother away. Where is the child's conscience? Your parents raised you, provided you with books and meals, but you abandoned them. The old and young people used to enjoy family happiness at home, but the old people roamed the streets. Do you still have humanity?

Every drop of grace should be rewarded by the spring. What's more, your parents have given you life. You should respect your parents all your life. Birds can feed their parents back, not to mention our human beings? We should honor our parents!

This essay not only left a deep impression on me, but also made me understand that I must treat my mother in the future.
