The 6yearold kid watched in silence as the man behind the desk,the headmaster of the school,shook his head more than once to his mother.

Minutes later,mother and son walked slowly out of the school,her right hand holding his little hand,her left holding an umbrella to shield(遮擋) both of them from the sun.“Where are we going now,mother?”asked the kid,looking up at her.“To another school,”was her gentle reply.For some reason,the little kid had not been accepted by the school,and she was taking him to another,to try to get him registered.That was more than 50 years ago.That woman was my mother;that little kid was me.

Fifty years later,the day after my mother had slipped into a coma(昏迷) from a stroke,I sat next to her,holding her hand,stroking it,watching her body heaved up and down as she breathed heavily,as if she was struggling with something.Her eyes were closed,her mouth opened.I whispered softly to her,“Mum,it’s okay.You have given us everything.You can let go now.No need to struggle anymore,Mum.”

A few days later,Mum died.At her bedside,I spent some time just looking at my mother,soaking in the finality of her death.There she was,my mother,motionless and lifeless.I took hold of her still warm but lifeless hand,holding it for the last time,recalling every piece of the precious moment we spent together.

I finally let go of her hand—lifeless,yet having given so much life to so many of us,and placed it next to her body.I found myself saying silently to her the only words that came to my mind,“Goodbye Mum,thank you for everything.”

Thank you,Mother,for not giving up,so that I could go to school.Thank you for coaching me,for reading to me,for ironing my school uniforms,for combing my hair,for tying my shoe laces,for making sure I had a little handkerchief inside my pocket...

Rest in peace,Mother,you are still very much alive in us.Happy Mother’s Day.

Carnival does not take place only in Louisiana. There are many celebrations around the world.

In Brazil, the celebration is supposed to go on from the Saturday before Mardi Gras(四旬齋前的最后一天)to Mardi Gras Day, but in some Brazilian cities the celebration can last seven or eight days. Just like New Orleans, not many important things are decided in Brazil from New Year’s Day to Mardi Gras Day because everyone is preparing for or celebrating carnival.

Over 20,000 dancers are involved as well as 10,000 musicians. This parade attracts at least 400,000 people.

The carnival in Venice, Italy is often regarded as the most carefully prepared carnival and lasts the ten days before Lent (四旬齋).

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out for dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine's Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest (神父) in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn't allow marriage.

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From Your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine did for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history's most romantic characters.

Nowadays, Valentine's Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heartshaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St.Valentine.
