When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about
China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students
had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course
,”they answered.
“How do you know ”was my logical question.They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what
they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I
love you ”.“Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades,followed by
god jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over
time.Gradually,I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their
moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her
at the door and hugged（拥抱）her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I
have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it
was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great
depth of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing we give each other.Those three little words
carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting,but most especially if they are the last words we say
to or hear from those we love.
