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.
