Describe about my mother

     My mother is a traditional Cantonese, her significant characteristic is implacable, determined, sociable and extroverted. She is the second oldest child of 9 siblings. She  blamed that she suffered the hardship during his childhood because she is the oldest sister in the family. She usually wake up before 5am to go rubber estate to tape the natural rubber from rubber tree, after collecting them, she went to market to help her parents to sell the pork meat, before noon, she went home to make lunch to her brothers and sisters.

    Before marrying to my father, she had visited to many countries to learn barbering techniques. After she having a family at her husband's parents' house, she decided to kill two birds with a stone by bringing up her children while having a barber shop abut to our house. When I was teenager, around 12 years old, I started to earn a little bit money by washing and massaging my mother's customer.

    My grandparents' house we lived is very old, the roof was leaking, and we used to get rip off the water in front of the door by dustpan when heavy rain pouring down the street. After few years, my mother had tolerated long enough to this tumbledown house, she decided to rebuild our house, but unfortunately she has not enough money to finish all the home renovations. She begged her family to borrow some money but unfortunately nobody helped her. Her determination has made it success. I cannot remember how she did it but  I was sure that she gave up everything and she was penniless after the renovation. 

    She is a cheerful person, always smile at people and she likes to meet new friends. Sadly to this pandemic, she cannot travel everywhere, she is allowed to go out for a while or to buy some necessary things but not far than 5 kilometers from her house. We just can pray for her health and happiness, let's pray for God to let us meet together after the end of COVID-19.
