My mother helped to build ships during World WarⅡ. She was a(n) 36 woman to seek work at this South Portland Shipyards (造船厂). She was raising four children 37 . I still remember my mom’s struggle to keep the 38 together.
After the divorce, there wasn’t much 39 . At first my mom worked in washing houses in 40 places. And she later got the job in a department store 41 she noticed some young women would come in, all 42 in big boots and rough overalls and they would have 43 of $600 to cash. And she finally asked one of them where they 44 and made so much money. And they said in the 45 . So my mother went over, and the man who 46 her asked whether she wanted to be a welder (焊工) or a burner. My mother asked which 47 the most. He said the welder. Then she said that was 48 she wanted to do. He said: “oh, why?” She said: “Ha, I have four children to 49 .”
It was bitterly cold in the winter going into the bottom of those steel ships. They had to creep into narrow basis and lay on their backs, and welded 50 . And I remember her neck and her chest all spotted with 51 from the sparks. And her shift (轮班) was midnight to 6 AM, so she could be home with us 52 the day. I remember her dressing was man’s clothing. Once she fell and 53 her foot and they brought her home in the middle of the night, and she was weeping. After the Shipyard 54 , she needed to have two jobs to make enough money. And we kids were more or less on our own, and that was not a happy time. But still she was 55 to keep us together as a family.
