It was not a rich house, the country's fortunes were not good, and I was filial to my parents, and I saved my food.

They were hungry and worked hard, sewing and mending, and loved my sister as if she were their own.

Weft and right, hard work, hard work, 38 red flag, repeatedly awarded model.

The mother was ill, but she was strong enough to fight the disease, and she was sick with it for three years.

When I was dying, I was thinking of a faraway place, and I was tired of being unfilial to my mother.

There is no way to get back to the world, so I'm going to say goodbye to you for the rest of your life.

Regrettably, the sky is the limit, not waiting for the head of the white head, complaining about the land, whimpering in the fall!

Fifty years of legacy, a hundred years of fame, and the price of cultivation, virtuous and filial reputation.

These are the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in a position to do something about it. I'm sure you'll never forget this!
