"May I present you with an essay for Mother's Day?
Please click Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver.
The essay has been abridged and is only about one page long.
Kingsolver is a US novelist and essayist. Needless to say, she writes well."

獨在異鄉為異客
每逢佳節倍思親
遙知兄弟登高處
遍插茱萸少一人

To my Brothers on Double-Nine Festival__Wang Wei (701~761) Tang Dynasty
Alone a stranger I remain in foreign land
At every festival I pine for my dear ones in fervent
From here I can see my brothers ascending the mountains with fun
Everywhere they plant dogwood spray but find the team missing one
(from Lasting Songs of Chinese Poets 中國詩人不朽句 江紹倫)
