One great mother

Liu Guozong

When I read Mengzi's writings, which are like a surging river rushing downstream for a thousand miles, a feeling of gratitude toward Mengzi's mother wells up from my heart.

I often think: if Mengzi's mother had not provided Mengzi with a good learning environment, perhaps the "Four Books" among the "Four Books and Five Classics" used by the feudal Chinese emperors to select talent through the imperial examinations would have been missing one book. What a great loss and regret for China.

The Chinese people calling Mengzi's mother a great mother is wholly deserved.

From this we can see that, even over two thousand years ago, an ordinary woman in our great motherland understood the influence of environment on a person's growth.

Saying that environment shapes a person is quite appropriate; the influence of environment on a person is extremely important.
