My Mother Does Cleaning
About This Novel
In 2020, a 52-year-old mother came to Shenzhen from rural Shaanxi to work. After living independently for more than ten years, "I" and my mother reunited in Shenzhen and lived under the same roof again. We quarreled in the small room. My mother couldn't stand the way "I" spent money, and "I" couldn't stand my mother's living habits. We are entangled, burdened, and dependent on each other. However, we love each other, and "I" know very well that my mother's weakness is her unreserved love for me. So, "I" wanted to understand her. "My" mother spent her youth working in mines and construction sites, and now works as a cleaner in a few spaces in a city office building. "I" want to record my mother's working history and try to travel through the life in her memory. My mother's life established an "enclave" of life for "me" who was working like a screw, allowing "me" to breathe, look back, and cherish where I came from. This is a writing project that we, mother and daughter, completed together.

I saw the shadows of many people around me
The simple and unpretentious language accurately describes the life of the cleaning mother. In this article, I see the hardworking, optimistic, and dedicated character of my mother's generation, just like seeing my own mother.
The description is delicate and real, just like what is happening around you, and has a strong sense of immersion. Every profession has its own meaning and value and should be respected. Mother, ordinary but great. Cherish the time with mom 😽
With a good attitude, you can gain happiness no matter what you do
good
Very good, read the express again... You will feel that this article is gentler, like a stream watering your life Tiny, but calm Mother sounds simple, but Fu has power! Come on! Hope you can still hear 2
The emotions are sincere, the examples are vivid and thought-provoking.

"My mother does cleaning" Another high-scoring new documentary book by a new writer Compared with "library", the writing is less "literary" But the way the flowers and plants are named in the article is quite "elegant" It introduces some elderly people who persist in working hard for an average of 16 hours a day in Shenzhen with their "scarred" bodies. They earn ordinary wages or have to subsidize their children who are no longer young, or have saved a lot of "pension". This is the outline of the story of nearly 200,000 words It has the meaning of being plain and straightforward, which means that life is difficult. There is no mention of suffering in the article, but there is bitterness in my heart "Women are destined to be raped" The title of a section in the book is also a sentence I heard in my life not long ago. A topic that can be discussed but is somewhat powerless In fact, it only took less than two hundred years for women to formally obtain the right to study and to hold high the banner of women's rights. There are many things in the world that are difficult to evaluate "Modern society is a merry-go-round that spins faster and faster, running in place. We dance faster and faster just to stay in place, but it becomes increasingly difficult to keep running." But please don't let the sorrow of the times become your sorrow
