Question

My mother only has one eye. I hate her. I am always angry about it. She cooks dinner for students and teachers. One day at school, my mother sees me and says hello to me. I was so unhappy! How can she do this? I turn back and run away. The next day at school one of my classmates says,“EEEE, your mother only has one eye!”

I don't know what to say. I wish my mother to just get away. I say to her at home, “If you’re only going to make others laugh at(嘲笑)me, why don’t you just die ?” She doesn't say a word.

Many years later, I have my family in another city. Then one day, my mother comes to visit me. When she stands at the door, my children laugh at her. I shout, “GET AWAY! NOW!” “Oh, I’m so sorry. I have the wrong address (地址).”

A few years later, she dies. Somebody gives me a letter from my mother before she dies.It reads:

“My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I should not go to your house and.... You see, when you are very young, you lose (失去) your eye in a car accident. As a mother, I give you mine. I am glad you can see a whole world for me with that eye.

With all my love to you.

Your mother.”
