Features: Time slips by unnoticed, and behind every busy figure, the gaze of a father grows distant, while the familiar words of a mother fade. When you are physically and mentally exhausted, pause and read the warm-hearted stories in this book, and you will feel your heart pounding with emotion. "A mother's hands weave the thread, a son wears the clothes." The love of parents is actually woven into every needle and thread, every letter home, and every small incident. Mother's love is a warm coat, always caring for your body; father's love is a close-fitting undershirt, always surrounding your heart. Father's and mother's love are like two layers of clothing on you, surrounding you at all times. No matter how far apart you are, whether across mountains and rivers or at the ends of the earth, father's and mother's love are tightly wrapped around you. Different experiences during growth reflect the same care. In the stories of ordinary people, the love of fathers and mothers is equally. The heartwarming family stories selected in this book are the deep memories of every person about the love of fathers and mothers. You can feel the profound family bond, the deep gratitude towards parents, the guilt towards parents, or the words you haven't had time to say. The price of your growth is the quietly graying hair and increasingly aged faces of your parents. Not everyone is fortunate enough to hear their comforting and encouraging words in time, nor can everyone have them by your side at every moment. Don't let the unfulfilled gratitude become a regret.

"And one day, her feathered robe disappeared, and she put on coarse human cloth—in she had decided to be a mother." – Zhang Xiaofeng, The Mother's Feathered Robe
"In that instant, I realized that all mothers in the world are so easily deceived and so easily satisfied! In that instant, I couldn't help but shed tears.
