Mother
"One day her teacher lost her voice and asked mother to help teach the class.
Standing in front of the class, she knew what she wanted to do when she grew up
to be a teacher. Later when her father asked her, his eldest daughter, to quit
school to carry some family responsibilities at age 11, she begged, but he
wouldn't change his mind. Her pillow was wet with her tears. She never returned
to school again." Xiaojuan Shu pays tribute to her mother in this moving piece.
Don't miss the link to her powerful one-person performance at the end.
