i think that should be my mother. due to my grandparents' discrimination, my mother was denied the chance to continue high school education. though she got little education, she was determined to study by herself and got the accounting certificate. for years, she made great efforts to manage her work and raise us three children. since my father was a policeman and often went out for work before retirement, life was a little hard in those days. i saw the wrinkles on her face, and the white hair on her head. but my mother never complains. i'm so grateful to her and she is really my idol, with strong determination and generous love.
