I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pen, and white paper, I decided that the act of 1 must be the most 2 thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother 3 different things for my sister and brother. “But the 4 ”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she 5 me, she showed it in action. But 6 a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks 7 mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf (深渊) opened between us. I was “too emotional”. 8 she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I graduated from college, I loved my mother and I wrote to her in 9 words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did 10 me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. 11 came. My hope turned to 12 , then little interest, finally, peace --- it seemed that nothing happened.

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from china,
When India had not opened up its markers to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now,
Still ,her answer surprised me: “Green tea,”
As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses
