须影吟者🕊️

I still remember the day I bought my mom a smartphone, thinking she could use WeChat to send me voice messages. But after teaching her for an entire afternoon, she still got it wrong. I couldn't help but raise my voice: "How could you not remember such simple steps?!" My mom looked like a scolded child, withdrawing her hands and saying in a low voice, "Back when I taught you how to hold chopsticks, it took me half a year and I didn't think you were stupid." I felt a surge of regret and wanted to slap myself. We think we're moving so fast in this rapidly developing era, but we forget that our parents have been ruthlessly abandoned by technology. They used half their lives to patiently raise us, but we can't even give them ten minutes of kindness. Thinking back to when my mom taught me how to hold chopsticks, I suddenly felt like I owed her an apology. We always think we're busy, tired, and struggling, but have we ever thought that our parents' hearts are also tired? They don't know how to use smartphones, how to send voice messages, or how to use computers. But they're still trying to learn, so they won't be left behind by this era. We should give them more patience and kindness, instead of complaining that they don't understand new things. True filial piety isn't about buying expensive gifts for our parents or taking them on trips. It's about being patient with their slowness. It's about accompanying them, helping them, and understanding them.
