Sun Yu (comic creator) The text narrated in the comic is below. On this Mother's Day, I hope everyone reads it. If you have time, please view the full comic on a computer. I don't really like Edison Chen, you can tear down his poster. Oh… don't tear down Nicholas Tse's poster… he is a victim. Suddenly waking up from a dream, the bustling Year of the Rabbit has arrived. Time has been washed thin and sparse; I always thought growing up was far away from me. In the Year of the Rabbit, I thought of my mother. I have already walked alone for two years on this side of time, yet you have become more and more vague. Mom is born in the Year of the Rabbit and was a primary school Chinese teacher. She loved beauty but didn't dare buy slightly expensive cosmetics. She loved music; the house was full of tapes of piano pieces. When will you be able to play Richard's music for me? Her temperament was like Faye Wong, she was strong, never admitted defeat, and could sing revolutionary model operas from her era. ………… She wanted me to succeed… I learned English at five… …I learned simple drawing at six… …I learned piano at seven. Every time I quarreled with my mother, I would hide in places she couldn't find me, letting her search as she pleased. Yet I never admitted my mistakes to you. At that time, poor at study, I was what kind of burden to you as a teacher? You held so many expectations; one day, suddenly, hearing you say you didn't want to give me any more pressure, just wanted me to live happily, I couldn't hold back and cried out. After I lived at school, every time I came home you always hoped I would talk to you, yet I was always too lazy to speak. Until that day, when I heard you had a 'minor surgery.' I only remember that one day my mother's hair disappeared. I don't think I ever remembered your birthday. I never washed your feet in my memories. I haven't yet apologized for the things that made you angry. I beg for your forgiveness here; can you still hear me? Is there anyone now who would listen to my bad jokes and laugh out loud? Many years later, I really played Richard's music completely, but you couldn't hear it. You, who wanted me to succeed, how I wished you could see me get into college. Sadly, you left with regrets before my college entrance exam. You brought me into this world, raised me, so why did you leave me behind? I asked Dad for a photo of Mom to put in my wallet. In that old photo is the person who loved me most and cared for me most. I put it in the place closest to me, just to keep her smile in my time forever.And I never had the chance to make it up to you... A year later, I went to college. One day, a rabbit ran into the dormitory, as if it were God's meticulous arrangement. Was that you? I folded a paper airplane, intending to give it to you, but when I threw it, I realized it didn't know where you were either. Slowly, slowly, I came to understand that so-called mother-child ties only mean that your fate with her is to watch her back gradually fade away in this life. You stand at one end of the path, watching her disappear around the corner; with her back, she silently tells you, there's no need to follow...

A mother's love is concern, it is also care, it is a mother's selfless attention! With Mother's Day approaching, let us together be grateful for our mother's love.
OP, happy Mother's Day..
