Appreciative Remarks

This is a poem full of life and true feelings. The first sentence points out the season and exaggerates his thoughts: frost beats the reed flowers, and the white autumn vitality in the past makes him think of his mother's white hair and her death, and he can't help but shed tears. In his mind, he came up with the scene when he came home to visit his relatives in May last year: it was a rainy season. The monk pawned the Dharma suit and bought some coarse rice to take home to serve his mother, while the white headed mother was waiting for her son's return at the chaimen gate The poem is like a yellow old photo, a deep and graceful song, lingering in my heart for a long time. Not long after he became a monk with Gong, his father betrayed him and left his mother alone. Although Gong Gong is a monk, he can't bear his family's kindness. Although I live a poor and indifferent life, I still help my mother from time to time. Now my mother has gone, leaving only memories. This poem does not have gorgeous words, but uses very common words to narrate the very ordinary past. However, the poem is full of pure heart, and the love of children is deeply moving and regretful.
