【正确答案】 1、正确答案：We have been accustomed to knowing our mother in this way:she exists for us and belongs to us, to my father, to my grandma, to my brother, to me and to our next generation. When we were young, we were accustomed to our mother taking the needles in the light, sewing and mending clothes for us, bringing us delicious food off work, attending the parents" meetings of the school for us, comforting us with her gentle words and wiping out our tears. The sudden death of our father in the "Cultural Revolution" made us see a lonely and helpless mother, because she buried her head in her arms, quivering and from that downside going out the strange powerless sobbing sound. At that moment she did not pay attention to our horrible calling. At that moment she temporarily left us and went away to the world which only belonged to her. But she was coming back soon. She was kept in a cowshed and had to clean the toilets in the unit for us. Really she indeed did that for us. At that time I said to her in this way—Mama, for us you have to live and I thought that these words would keep her alive. I was only a teenager at that time, but I held dimly that our mother was not ready to depart from us and we are the whole reasons for which she lived in this world. Our mother did not come with our fathers as expected. For such a long time, we were accustomed to her haggardness and overwork, her consideration and tolerance for our grandma who had a perverse temper with full heart and tolerance, and her gentle and warm smiles to the little children. In our heart, this was the image of our mother:a lifelong filial daughter-in-law, an virtuous wife and a loving mother. Right now we feel a great loss in our heart and our life. Mother took herself away completely while we were still here. Mother herself was an entirety, which we seldom realized before.
