I don’t know what “home” is, but unhappiness and worries melt away (渐渐消失) once there.
-Bing Xin
What’s the definition of “home” to you?
Describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem.
从早到晚,鸟儿妈妈随时待命,
直到她的孩子长大,可以离开温暖的家。
鸟儿妈妈,用她全部的关爱,
渴望给孩子们最好的关怀。
鸟儿妈妈常担心,日复一日——
她的孩子很快就要长大了。
它会兴奋地跳开,
展开翅膀,独自飞翔。
然而,她知道,她必须让孩子飞翔,
越过山丘,掠过天空,
在她仔细的注视下。

Pre-reading
1. What do you think “strangers under the same roof” means?
I think it means that parents and their children feel as if they do not know each other very well anymore even though they have lived together in the same house for many years. This often happens when children become teenagers because the way they look, think and do things changes. Parents sometimes do not understand or accept these changes easily and teens become angry with their parents.
