She is 78 years old and can’t walk freely. So with the help of the stalk, she can only walk slowly. There is no doubt that she can’t depend on herself. Now she is looked after by her son and living with the son’s family. She has another three daughters. The biggest one is living nearby her place but the daughter is not very well and is often in hospital.
Another two daughters are living in Beijing and works there, so they seldom go home to take care of their mom. When the spring festival is coming, they would come back hometown, living several days. During the spring festival, they are often busy meeting their old friends but they can’t spend a lot of time with their mom. Their mom can’t be in a good mood because she is afraid of being alone without being cared about by her son and daughters.However, they do spare time to talk and have dinner with their mom. During the talk, their mom is telling of her difficulties and trouble and she can’t listen to their words. So they are just learners in front of her. What they say don’t make her relax and bright. To be honest, she is a pessimistic and stubborn person. Even though her offspring have their own family, she is always involved with their matters. What’s more, she is used to ordering others to obey her and is prone to be angry by little things. Another one point is that she devotes herself to the Buddhism and is completely a vegetarian. Every time her families bring some food production for her, she always keeps some until they are expired.
One night, her son and daughters have a family meeting to talk about how to take care of mom. At last, the three daughters pay money and the son is charge of mom’s daily life.
