my mother. I don't have her own picture right now,

so it is from her work hospital. My Mother

In my mind my mother is not just beautiful and smart woman. She is a great mother. I am so happy to being her daughter. She gives me a lot of space let me feel freedom. She did not have many rules. She is a very kind person. When I had some ideas or problem I always tell to her, she can makes me clearly what I should do. We have more friend ship than relative ship, just like friends or sisters. I spent much more time with her than my father. And she saw me growing up. She is not just a good mother also is a good teacher; teach me how to be a person. Her personality is easy- going and she always smile. She is a dentist, also is a wife and a mother. In every area she is doing well. She is a independent woman. She does not want be control by man. She wants me to study a lot, not just from inside the book, every area I want, and get more experiences. It will be my wealth in my life. One day I could use it.
在我的眼中，母亲是伟大的。她们给予我们生命，并给予我们爱和温暖。我的妈妈就是这样一个伟大的母亲。我非常庆幸成了她的女儿。从小到大，我都是在一个宽松的家庭环境下长大的。说起我们的关系是母女但更像姐妹，有时我觉得妈妈比我还热衷时尚。而且她不会给我很大的束缚和压力，只是希望我能开心地去生活。我要说她是一个很懂得享受的女人，也是一个很有思想的女人。在遇到不愉快时，她总是用笑容冲淡一些。我的妈妈是牙科医生，她是很有责任感的人，她会认真地对待她的每一个患者。但当她脱下白大褂后，她要扮演起母亲和妻子的角色。我觉得她很厉害。我的爸爸都会佩服她。“学习不仅是学习书本上的知识，其实是方方面面的。”她总会这样跟我说。她希望我能多看看外面的世界，拓宽自己的视野。

I asked her: “What does woman mean to you?”
我曾经问她, “你觉得作为女人的意义是什么？

She said: “As a woman family is important for me. I have happiness family, a lovely daughter and good husband. We all love each others. In my opinion, health is the first important thing for the life. So I just hope all the members of my family can be healthy. That is enough. And also I have a nice job; I can make more valuables for society.”
她说：“因为有个幸福的家庭，这也就足够了。而且我还有工作，能实现自己的价值。我觉得我很幸福。”

When I asked her “What event that challenged you?” She said, “When I had you-my daughter. You know your mother is a person that doing everything wants to be the best. Not only was being a student in school also when I got a job. At that time, I worked in hospital not a long time and at night I went to night school to study. I hope my job would do well and I was working hard. My ability was be proved by other leader. I had chance to promote. So I was still working even though I knew I was pregnant you. And that time I did not tell all my colleagues till they saw my belly is bigger. But when I had you, my mind changes a lot. I know family is the first important thing to me, because I am your mother.”
我问她：“ 有什么事情让你很难忘的？” 她说：“当我有了孩子以后，我的转变挺大的。你也知道我是一个做每件事都会尽我所能去做的人。不管是在我读书的时候还是参加了工作，我都是在尽我所能做到最好。当时白天我要上班，下班后又要去上进修课。我那时很受领导的赏识，很快就会得到职位上的晋升。我不想耽误工作，怀孕我也没有和同志和领导说。但是当我有了你以后，我把我的工作重心都移到了你身上。我知道你对我比其他的事情更重要。从那后我的思想也有了很大的转变，变得现实了很多，知道对女人来说家庭是不可缺少的一部分。

I heard that to born me also was a painful experience. She said:“I am so difficult to born you, because of your position of fetus was not correct. So I was doing Cesarean birth. In that moment it was so painful that I’d ever forget. After I had a child, I changed a lot, I was being reality. I knew I am a child’s mother, I understand take care of you is the first important.” I can see the scar left by knife cut on my mother’s abdomen. It is a mark by me. But she still thanks God to give her a child.
　　 我的很痛苦的经历就是在我生你的时候，真是很辛苦。因为你的胎位不正，所以要做刨腹产手术。” 我问她：“是不是很疼？” 她说，“因为当时扎了麻药，所以没有什么感觉。但过后，因为麻药过了劲儿，就疼了好几天。” 直到现在那个在她肚子上的疤痕还清晰可见，这也是她身上唯一的疤痕，却是因为我。因为我她放弃了很多东西，所以我觉得很对不起她。但是妈妈却说很值得。

“Now I am 49 years old. I do not think I am old. In my live, everyday can be wonderful. Shopping is my favors things now, I am enjoying it. When I looked back my life, I know I should make myself happy. I think I am a lucky woman. That is all.”
“虽然现在我已经49岁了，但是我不觉得我老了，我会去享受每一天，做我喜欢做的事，只要想做是永远不会晚的。作为一个女人更是如此。善待自己，享受生活。 ”她说到。

After the interview, I think a lot. I know being a woman should independent. I will enjoying my life.

结束了交谈，我想了很多。我知道作为一个女人应该学会独立，而且我会学着珍惜现在，享受我的人生。
