Features: This is a book that condenses the essence of life, a book filled with profound maternal love, and even more so, a book that holds heartfelt hopes for children in the process of growing up. A laid-off worker facing difficulties, a poor single mother, and the ordinary mother of a 16-year-old daughter studying piano in Eastern Europe—she, in her desire to keep her young children away from distractions and to foster their self-reliance, away from the allure of the material world, worked tirelessly amidst hardship. Amidst the toil of manual labor, she seized every opportunity to read newspapers and magazines, extracting the essence and sharing it with her child through a series of timely weekly letters titled "Words from a Mother's Heart." These spiritual nourishments sustained her child as they grew up far from home. Years passed, and the once middle school student became a "Piano Genius from China," hailed by the Chinese Embassy as an "Outstanding Chinese Student Abroad."
