Mother's
Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated in the United States, England,
India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day many people send
gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear
a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨),
while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.
The idea
of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia As a
result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was
held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over
the country and around the world.
In China,
people do the same on the day for mothers, And, in some cities, people
sometimes ask a song to be broadcasted for his or her mother only. This might
cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, "Love is
invaluable."
On May 8,
1999, just the day before the Mother's Day that year, a Chinese mother, a
heroic(英雄的) mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪悉轰炸)in Yugoslavia(南斯拉夫).
Her name is Shao Yunhuan, a reporter who wrote lots of articles(文章)for Chinese newspapers. All the Chinese will remember
her forever.
