Why do you want to eat boiled eggs for your birthday?

People in China have the habit of eating eggs on their birthdays.

The person who eats eggs is not the birthday person, but the mother of the birthday person, only changed because of maternal love.

As long as someone has a birthday, the birthday person will bow down to his mother and thank her for bringing himself into this world and taking the best things to honor her. Only eggs were the best thing at that time. Therefore, it has become a custom to eat eggs on birthdays (for those mothers who have passed away, they go to the cemetery to get eggs as a souvenir), but the conditions at that time were very difficult. Poor mothers who don't even have enough food secretly feed their children when they see that they are hungry. Eggs are nutritious and cheap food, and have many good meanings. They are round and round. The peeled egg is white and tender, and the yolk is clean.
