The origin of Mother's Day

Mother's Day originated in Greece. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to Hera, the mother of the gods in Greek mythology, on this day. In the middle of the 17th century, Mother's Day spread to the United Kingdom, the British people put the lent period (lent refers to the 40 days before Easter, except Sunday) on the fourth Sunday as Mother's Day. On this day, the young people who have been away from home will return home and give their mothers a small and ingenious gift. Mother's Day in the modern sense originated in the United States, by Anna Javits (1864-1948) initiated. She never married and stayed by her mother's side. Anna Jarvis was devastated by the tragic death of her mother in 1905. On the anniversary of her mother's death the following year, Anna organized events to remember her mother and encouraged others to show their gratitude in a similar way. Since then, she has lobbied and appealed to all walks of life, calling for a Mother's Day. Two years later, Anna and her friends wrote to influential government ministers, MPS and business figures of the day asking for Mother's Day to be made an official holiday. Anna believes that children are often too busy to care about their mothers. She hopes that Mother's Day will make people think more about what their mothers have done for their families. Her appeal was met with enthusiasm. The first Mother's Day was celebrated in West Virginia and Pennsylvania on May 10, 1908. On that festival, the carnation was chosen as the flower dedicated to mother and has been handed down ever since. In 1913, the United States Congress passed a bill to make the second Sunday in May the official Mother's Day. The move was followed around the world, and by 1948, when Anna gave birth, 43 countries had established a Mother's Day.

The Spring Festival of the Year of Boxer, should be the day of the whole family members, but by the attack of the novel coronavirus, how many families can not be reunited because of the epidemic, how many medical personnel because of the epidemic become rebellious, and how many armed police officers and public security soldiers fighting in the front line of the epidemic. In the face of the severe epidemic, Zhong, now 84, has re-emerged in the public eye. When he was appointed as the head of the high-level expert team of the National Health Commission, he gave the following advice regarding the epidemic: "My general opinion is not to go to Wuhan without special circumstances." But on the evening of the 18th, the 84-year-old went to the forefront of epidemic prevention in Wuhan without hesitation. Zhang Dingyu, president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, hid his illness of ALS and neglected his wife who was infected with the novel coronavirus. He stuck to the forefront of the fight against the epidemic and used his life of ALS to raise confidence and hope. Li Hui, an oncology nurse from Tianyou Hospital of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, volunteered to participate in the front-line work in the second respiratory ward with heavy tasks when the hospital recruited volunteers, and asked me to donate my body to study and conquer the virus in case of misfortune. From New Year's Eve to the first day, the heart is afraid of 95 nurses still stick to the line...... They work hard, they give their time and energy, only two words - dedication. This is the world's most selfless love, from their body is not only dripping sweat, but also a steady stream of love! The flowers are so bright and fragrant that we get drunk, but do we care about the unknown stems and leaves beneath the flowers? It is just a special group that haunts every corner of the big city -- bustling courtyards, noisy construction sites, squalid bungalows. They come from China's most simple grassroots farmers, but travel to other places just to make money to support their families. They are called migrant workers.
