When I first watch the news on TV,I was shocked so deeply that tears welled up in my eyes.
It was a bittersweet story that emerged from the Sichuan earthquake tragedy.When a house collapsed on a mother and her 4-month-old infant,the mother protected the baby’s body with hers by kneeling prostrate over the baby.When rescuers arrived 5 days later,on May 17,they found the mother had been crushed to death,but the baby was sleeping peacefully.Shortly thereafter they found the mother’s cellphone,where she had written the text message to her baby that read “My dear baby,if you live,you must remember that I love you.”
It was the word ‘I love you’ that touched me deeply.Generally speaking,people in China do not show their love by saying ‘I love you’.As far as I am concerned,Chinese people prefer using a silent way of expressing love to using a direct one.To show his love to a girl,a boy may treat the girl well and try hard to provide her with lifelong happiness.To show their love to their teacher,students may bring a cup of tea or erase the blackboard silently.To show their love for their motherland,soldiers may guard the border without any complains.In the oriental culture,love is like still water,which is so reserved,so silent that it can only be felt after a long period.
However ,the Chinese mother realised that she hardly had time to show her endless love to her baby.She made up her mind to defend her baby even if it means risking her life.Meanwhile,she leave the word’I love you’ to her baby.I think when the baby grows up,he may regard “I love you” as the most beautiful word in the world.
As a matter of fact,there are no such definition as western love and oriental love.As long as it`s love,it motivate us to hold on and make achievement.As long as it`s love,it makes our heart warm and helps us out of pain and solitude.As long as it`s love,it moves us.That`s why tears fell on my face when the story touched my soul.
Thank you !
