I live in a big modern city:Shenzhen.near Hongkong,I can see the buliding of Hongkong when I look out of my window every morning only five minutes by foot,go to the beach .To see sun rise from mountion. I used to weep over my bygone life or unknown future to seat a bench of the beach because the recall or miss mum and hometown.As well it come into my dream,expically in spring ,the feeling get more better.shenzhen is a hot city,about nine months be in summer,no spring ,no winter (temperature).
Every on Feb~Apr,hometown's mountians turn green ,two months still be in rain seasons.Spring bamboo shoot come out from the hill everywhere,agrestal straw mushroom grow around tussock .I would like go out to pick it then take to home to cook,but father always threw it away .He was scared it was toxicity.We usually heard someone died for eating the straw mushroom.
I love spring,expically like listening rain sounds which it beat tile-roofed house at night.Parents have four kids,material and spirit spiare strenuous in 1970s~1980s in village of China .We lived in a old quadrangle dwellings .There are four families in there,although strenuous that time,we got along with others families ,even though kids usually brawled for something.Now the old house had been dismantle by gevoment ,it was too old and danger for our safe.I lived in the old house over 20years,never fogot it in my minds.I alway miss it which place.
Although live in a modern city: airport ,beach,subway,nice building,big market,my heart will go on :old quadrangle dwellings.last year I came back to see mum,it became vegetable field.Mum plant some hot pepper,celery cabbage,one loquat tree,two pear trees,one magnolia tree. Look at all these, sadly feeling coming into my heart:mum was old and lonely ,father went to other world,borthers moved in other place,sister got marriaged with other town man, have three kids-my childhood good friends went away it too,I miss them expically in Traditional Festivals ----looking Back the Past Years
The egg is first important foods in Chinese people living in 1960s~1980s.especially in my hometown.If one mother birth kid,when baby has one month,the mother must cook many boiled eggs,at same time the eggs are staining with red color .(Red color is a luck color in our hometown.)then sent out to neighbour:every family will get two eggs in hand.and they will say many benedictory words to the baby.baby's grandmother must buy many baby's clothes and hens to baby's mother.I was so happy to wait the thing coming in my childhood,in that time ,no any snack in family except rice,pickle .First time saw and ate apple in my 11ages.every school beginning of term after summer / winter vacation ,Children must come back school to study,children will get many eggs for par tens cook .children will tell par tens that they like which type eggs: boiled eggs or poached eggs (fried egg ).Eggs were expensive and lack in 1970s~1980s.but no mind,because childhood started new term so every par tens would fulfil wish of kids-----so loud to tell them,I want to eat how many eggs,so every time,My mother listened it and replay"really,eight eggs?"mum said again,"yes,mum,and I want eight eggs are fried and must fried to golden yellow ",I answered ,my tone was perky.because I knew it was a nice chance to eat eggs,and clearly knew next time to meet eggs it is a long time waiting for me and sister.so can't miss this nice chance."yes.mum eight eggs,I promise I will eat it up. " Do you know eat eggs number must be even number for it will be luckily number in China.and hate number"four,seven" ,four means "died",seven means "go away".so I thought two eggs too few ,four can't be,six are just right,but if eight eggs best choose for me in my innocent kid minds.mum cooked it and put on table ,she always said benedictory words the other picking up it with chopsticks to my bowl--two eggs means my examination results would get "100"in the future,so if I ate eight eggs,it will get "100000000",oh,mum,thanks!Today,I never went to which one university or doing one nice successful career women .I hope you forgive me and eggs ? last year,I come back hometown to see you when I went back to Shenzhen for working,you got up early in the morning to cook boiled eggs (for high blood pressure your left hand don't move freely,so didn't cook fried egg).The bus was crossing many mountain while my tears running down my face on the way........mum . I love you!
