/kloc-at the beginning of the 0/9th century, an American mother, Mrs. Chá vez, devoted herself to setting up a special festival to commemorate her mother, and made efforts to this end. However, my mother died before this wish came true, but this feat did not stop there, but was taken over by my daughter anna jarvis, who was unmarried all her life and accompanied her until her death. With the solid foundation laid by Mrs. Chavez and Anna's unremitting efforts, Mother's Day was finally realized in West Virginia and Pennsylvania on May 1908. And in 19 13, the United States officially confirmed the second Sunday in May as the legal mother's day. Since then, Mother's Day has spread all over the world, and mothers usually receive gifts on this day.
Mother's Day was introduced to the mainland after it became popular in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Precious jewels, carnations symbolizing maternal love, special love desserts and exquisite handmade greeting cards have all become loving gifts for mothers.

Ode to mother's ancient poems
A traveler's song
(Tang) Meng Jiao
The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
But how much love an inch of grass has is three times!
Say goodbye to my mother.

The bow curtain goes to the mother river beam, and the tears are white.
This is a tragic snowy night in Chai Men. It is better to have children than nothing at this time.
