My Mother ... The Feline Of Hearts

A ferocious feline, yet tempestuously doted her cubs…A timorous hen, yet courageously fight against danger for her chicks. A careless cow elephant who never fail to provide haven for her young…Have you ever encounter anyone described as above? If yes, then you have met my Mother.

I remembered how every other folk used to reticently laugh at her; being a mother who bore 5 daughters and bear no son. I remembered how people sneered at her being ignorant to Chinese custom. I remembered how people looked down on her for working in slaughterhouse to earn a living…And I remember how proudly she posed in my graduation picture; being the last child who obtained scroll in our family.

Being deprived from education doesn't impede her from educating us the importance of knowledge. Being deficient in cooking skills doesn't forbid her from feeding us; and being underprivileged doesn’t bar her from providing us with the best that she could afford.
My mom is not highly educated. She is not well-groomed to be a lady. She knows no tradition nor having a sense of fashion. She is just a little woman whom everyone thinks she is; washing clothes, providing food and beating kids. In fact, she doesn’t even know how to cook a storm!

And YES…She is my mother…a mother irreplaceable in the child’s eyes.
