mom changes her age

When mom was reaching 64, retirement was getting near but she did not want to get retired. She asked 吳緯國's father 吳逢祥 (in charge of personnel for government) to have it changed.

He was such a gentleman that he did most of the work. Until the last day, he needed mom's signature. He got his own car with a chauffer to bring mom to get that signature. She became 5 years younger so she worked six more years. She worked until 70.

Mom always said that Mr. Wu died young of asthma and it was such a pity.

mom's bound feet

Her feet were not bound at the beginning. Her grandma complained a lot by saying, "Before the lady enters the room, the huge feet get in first". It bugged mom so one day, she decided to get feet bound.

One has to get feet bent upward. It hurt so much mom gave that up after one day.

mom's village doctor

There was only one Chinese doctor who was blind. He could not heal infection,....

mom's uncle

Mom's dad had a brother but those mem did not get alone well so she rarely saw the uncle.

One day, aunt came by asking her dad to go and see the brother. The brother was dying of an infected tooth. As he was sitting up, much pus gushed down from the wound. He died soon after.

mom's dad died of...

He suffered asthma in China quite a bit. He could not sleep at night so he sat on his bed piled blankets on his body to stay warm.

He did not die of asthma. It was diarrea.

She said that he did not like to study. When he first got to Taiwan, he stayed with his dad in XinJu. He was supposedly going to high school but he hid his backpack every day and went to the beach.

mom and 梁祝

She loved going to 黃梅調movies. She and I went to see so many, 梁祝, 花木蘭， 血手印， 新陳三五娘， 雙鳳奇緣， 鳳還巢，..

Our favorite one was 梁祝. We probably watched it 500 times.

Dad's words

There are two sets from him that I like a lot:

畫虎畫皮難畫骨，知人知面不知心。

一片月色如洗， 護竹何勞荊棘； 寧將竹做蘺笆， 求人不如求己。
