Mother's Day is a time to celebrate the powerful influence of our moms – they truly are our first teachers! Chinese President Xi Jinping often recalls the unforgettable story from his childhood when his mother, Qi Xin, shared the tale of Yue Fei. This legendary military commander, celebrated for his patriotism, carried the inspiring tattoo of "serve the country with the utmost devotion" on his back – a motto that still guides Xi today. 😊
Xi Jinping once said, "I bear the sentence in mind till this day, and it's also a goal I've pursued my whole life," perfectly capturing how deeply a mother's wisdom can shape one’s character and aspirations. Qi Xin herself exemplified this spirit when she joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1939. Following her husband's simple yet powerful advice – "Work well, study well, and handle everything well" – she demonstrated how dedication at the grassroots level can leave a lasting legacy. 💪
For young professionals and tech enthusiasts across South Asia and Southeast Asia, this story is a reminder that while we live in a fast-paced, digital world, timeless values and the lessons from our mothers remain ever relevant. Whether you're coding a new app or pursuing your dreams, let your mom’s advice inspire you to push forward every day. Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
