Salute to mothers

Living and teaching in China for more than nine years have granted me the opportunity to carefully observe the behavior of Chinese youth, including my own students. I've been able to read their moods in different situations, and their attitude to life in general and relationship with their mothers in particular.

Though all Chinese children have filial love, some of them take their mothers for granted. Perhaps mothers, without realizing the negative consequences of their actions, tend to spoil their children.
