Question

Many years ago, every morning, she wanted to take him to the kindergarten. He always cried and begged,“ Mom, I will listen to you at home and I won’t make you angry. Please don’t take me to the kindergarten. I want to be with you.”

It seemed that she didn’t hear him because she was busy getting ready to work. In fact, he knew his mother wouldn’t agree with him, so he was always crying while following her downstairs.

Many years later, she was old. And even worse, she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease（早老性癡呆病）. But he had to struggle for a living. He didn’t have time to take care of her. At the same time, it was impossible for him to leave her alone at home. After thinking it over, he thought of a place.

The night before he made the decision, she looked at him in and out. She seemed to know something.“ My son, Mom won’t make you angry. I won’t need you to look after me. Don’t send me to a nursing home. I want to be with you…” She cried, and the sound became weaker and weaker…

He was silent, looking for reasons to persuade（說服）her.

In the end, they appeared outside a nursing home. After they checked in, he said to her,“ Mom, I…I have to go!”

She nodded slightly, opened her mouth with no teeth and said,“ My son, remember to pick me up early…”

At that moment, he remembered it was at the gate of the kindergarten that he said nearly the same words,“ Mom, remember to pick me up early…” Suddenly he went back…
