2. What Chinese poems about parents’ love for their children
can you think of?
There is a Chinese poem called “Youziyin” (Song of the Parting Son), written by Meng Jiao. It also describes a mother’s deep love for her son, who is leaving home.
The poem goes like this:
A thread in one hand of the loving mother,
A dress of the parting son in the other.
She sews stitch by stitch: his departure’s near,
For fear that he won’t be home in many a year.
Who can tell, how much should the son impart
To well reward the loving mother’s heart?
