When I was a foreign teacher in Chinaevery day I taught English to my students and they taught me about ChinaOne day the topic mined to saying “I love you”I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothersnor had their mothers said it to them“Does your mom love you?” “Of course”they answered

    “How do you know?” was my logical questionThey responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earningI was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you””Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.

    I come from a culture where most people are expressive enoughso I repeated these queries in clauses over timeGraduallyI began to get different responsesSome of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girlWhen she came home from universityher mother met her at the door and hugged拥抱herThis had never happened beforebut her mom said“Now that you have gone I have more time to myselfI 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 lotWhile it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that momentit is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaningeven when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love
