Qinghua Yao

Mother Qinghua Yao

The book tells you some stories about a Chinese mother. My mother was a Chinese typical traditional rural woman, and she was one of the most ordinary Chinese farmers. However, she indeed had simple, selflessness love just like the losses ground. I think this is the commendable spirit in the world. I try to recall the past and write down some words about my mother. I hope more people can remember the typical Chinese rural woman, and I also hope more people can think about the life seriously and profoundly. I think this is particularly necessary in the current era. At the age of twenties, I wanted to describe my mother's life. But before thirty, I didn't write any words, mainly because I didn't want to recall the past. However, with the growth of the age, some memories gradually blurred, and I thought that I must write some words, because I wanted to put the past years not only in the memory, but also in the eternal words. My mother's story reflected the changes of rural society in China. Dramatic changes had taken place in many aspects of Chinese rural areas from the seventies of last century to the beginning of this century, such as family relations, neighborhood relations, economic structure and cultural life and so on. These changes could be reflected on a traditional rural woman. Through my mother's true story, many people can understand the changes in Chinese rural society of the last thirty years of the last century.
