About This Novel
When I understood my mother's past, I finally began to reconcile with her. My mother is nagging and forceful, always saying "This is for your own good"! But I don't know that she was once as young, aspiring, and passionate as me. "Mother's Suitcase" has become a hit overseas, and readers in more than 10 countries have recommended it with tears: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Belgium, India, Iran, South Korea... "The Telegraph", "People's Daily", "The Standard", "Financial Daily" and other European and American mainstream media have unanimously praised this extraordinary work! The well-known website SWEEKLY. NL angrily praised "Mom's Suitcase": It is a comedy but filled with sadness, a tragedy but full of wit! Ernst is such a genius! When I read "Mom's Suitcase", I remembered myself when I laughed, and I understood my mother when I cried. There was a woman who firmly believed that free is always good; she was keen on bargaining and would hit someone with a rolling pin if she disagreed; she complained constantly and often cried to others, "My eldest son is mentally retarded, and my younger son is a writer." Her life seemed filled with endless dissatisfaction. This is my mother, a well-known mother. There was a girl who struggled to survive on the milk of goats when she was young. Her family was poor and she left her hometown sadly with two suitcases. She prayed constantly and ran around in tears holding her sick son, just to find the secret recipe for treatment. But she is always full of endless hope for life. This is also my mother, an unknown mother. For many years, my mother kept the past locked away tightly, not allowing it to be revealed. And when I finally learned about her past, I understood her silent tears and love.

So if you don't become a parent, you won't understand the sadness of being a parent. You may not know the sadness of being a parent until you become a parent. So it's time to experience it now. It's really difficult.
But when your parents treat other children better than yours, you think about it this way, what is the difference between how you treat a good friend and a friend? He is very polite and kind to his friends, but he feels all kinds of disgust when he treats his good friends, so if you think about it this way, can you understand it?
The most conflicts that have occurred from the past to the present are probably the conflicts between parents and children. Sometimes children feel that their parents are too paranoid, and then they feel that they do not love themselves, treat other children better, and then treat their own children as if they do not like them. Of course, sometimes it may be because of face. If we have children, we will understand
