Hello everyone, we are EZ Taiwanese Mandarin.
Today we are at Tamsui Old Street.
And coincidentally, we are celebrating Mother's Day today.
There are a lot of families traveling with their mothers.
So we are here to ask if there are any memories or little things
that you want to share with the audience.
Now we are going to start our mother's day plan.
May I ask, what kind of person is your mother?
My mother is a very responsible person.
She is very caring and gentle.
Although sometimes she will say things like that, she is a very good person.
She is very considerate.
My mother talks a lot.
She is very gentle to others, but she is more fierce to me.
How is she fierce to you?
She has high standards.
She has high standards for my homework since I was young.
She is a very simple country girl.
What is her personality like?
You will know when you see me.
She is very talkative, but she is also very kind.
Why is she talkative?
She likes to talk about everything.
Do you have any unforgettable memories with her?
Unforgettable?
One time, I was riding a bicycle with her.
I was riding too fast, and she fell off the bike.
I took her to the hospital.
I took my mother to Japan.
My mother was very happy at the event.
A while ago, I took her to the hospital.
She came all the way from Taoyuan to Taichung.
She stayed with me until I left the hospital.
I was very touched.
I was very hard to raise when I was young.
She carried me on her back every day for 24 hours.
I came all the way from Taichung to Taipei to study.
I was away from home for about a month.
When I sent my mother a video message,
I felt that she had lost a lot of weight.
I was very sad when I saw her.
Why was it hard to raise you when you were young?
Why was it hard to raise me when I was young?
She likes to cry and doesn't sleep.
What did you do?
I hugged her to sleep.
What did you do when she cried?
I kept shaking her.
I shook her until she fell asleep.
Then she fell asleep.
She was a very hard-working mother.
Boys like to play with things like knives and guns.
She would use a scissor to make a pistol.
Or a bow to play with.
Do you thank your mother every time you get something from her?
Do you give her any gifts?
I don't think so when I was young.
But if she is still willing to do something for us,
I think I will cherish her.
Do you have any special ways to celebrate Mother's Day?
I take her out to eat.
I take her out to walk with me today.
I text her when I get home.
I bring her souvenirs during the holidays.
I eat with my family.
Do you give your mother any gifts?
No, we just wish her a happy Mother's Day.
Most boys can't say anything.
We just wish her a happy Mother's Day.
I'm sorry I didn't have a Mother's Day before.
I think Mother's Day only happened in the past 10-20 years.
My mother passed away a long time ago.
About 30 years ago.
We were very young then.
So we didn't celebrate Mother's Day.
As a mother, do you have anything to say to your family?
I think it's great.
We can spend Mother's Day together with our family.
Did you have fun today?
Yes, I had a lot of fun.
Yes.
I'm not just happy today.
I'm happy every day.
Because she comes back to play with me every Sunday.
Where do you usually go to play?
I go wherever she takes me.
It's the same.
We used to play like this when we were young.
Now we play like this with her.
We went to play with the eggs.
It's a memory of what she used to play with us.
Now we play with her.
We take her to play with the games she used to play with us.
Do you feel any different after becoming a mother?
It's the same.
It's just like this.
Generation after generation.
Mothers are just like this.
Of course, after becoming a mother,
I will care for my children for the rest of my life.
No matter how they are now,
the feeling of being a mother and a daughter is different.
Do you have anything to say to your mother?
Thank you.
Indonesia.
If you speak Indonesian, I can't understand.
For my mother in Jakarta,
I hope you are always healthy.
Amen.
That's all for Easy Taiwanese Memory.
