The legend of Wang'er Shan Hill
On
the plain of Liao Nan, there is an old city called Xun Yue. In the
east of the city located alone hill,
surrounding with orchards. On the
top of the hill stands a grey brick tower, looked like a kind mother,
looking forward to the return of her son. People now call it Wang'er
Shan Hill, meaning to look forward to the return of the son. Here is
the weepy legend
Once upon a time, Xun Yue City was surrounded with seashore, near the
seashore, there was a poor family in the suburb of Xun Yue city .In
the family, lives a mother and a son, the mother loved her son very
much, and expected him study hard, so he could have a better future.
To support her son's study,
she had to work hard in the fields at daytimes; spun cotton into yard
and weaved cotton cloth at night. The son showed great respect for his
mother, decided to study hard and well. Year after year,
the
mother
and the son suffered for ten years. One year, the imperial court held
a final examination to find
the qualified person for the imperial
court. And the son decided to take part in the examination in Beijing.
Before he left, the mother said to the son: ?Son, take care of
yourself! Don't worry
about me!
Just
do your best, no matter you pass or fail, be home early! The son
said: Alright Mum, I will try my best. And come home right away
whenever I have finished the exam. Just waiting for my good news.?
For the examination, he had left home for Beijing by boat. The
mother was farming at day and weaving at night, waiting for her son
home. But she hadn't heard from her son since then. She worried, and
went to the shore every day, looking forward to see her son soon.
One year, two years, three years passed, year after year, the
mother's hair turned grey, and still no information about her soon.
Seven years, eight years and nines years passed, the weather was
very hot in summer and cold in winter, the mother's face was
wrinkled. Ever day she could see no son but ocean and the boats back
and force. The poor mother cried to the ocean sadly coming back my
son, I missing you.Ten years, twenty years and thirty years passed,
the gerontic mother passed away and turned into a stone statue to
wait for her son. But? Unfortunately her son was falling into the
ocean, when he was on his
way
to Beijing for examination. God was moved by the great mother, and
formed a hill at the place where the mother stood; the earth was
moved by the great mother, and turned tears of the mother's into
underground hot spring, the soil was being moistened to grow endless
red color apples; the villagers were moved, they called the alone
hill Wang'er Shan, which meant expecting the return of the son on
top of the hill? then built a grey brick tower on the top of the
hill and a Mother House at the bottom of the hill for the younger
generation to memorize it.
Now, the people in Xiong Yue are still keeping this customs to
memorize their kind and lovely mother. Every Sunday in May each
year, they will have a carnival to celebrate the mother's day. Some
people even set steles to show their esteem for their own mothers.
