I hurt myself badly last Monday when I played football after school. I couldn’t move at all. My father is working abroad. My mum is a manager of a big company. She is so busy.
For the first time, I felt so sad and worried about my lessons. Mum had to work online at home and took care of me. My father found a way out. He helped me with my lessons on WeChat.
I have Chinese traditional parents. They don’t give hugs to me and often hide their care in their hearts. But I know their love is like the mountain. It is always there. Mum often tells me that we are family. The love between us is more important than anything.
