Recently reading a local Chinese book named MnO2 Mama (二氧化錳媽媽) by 晨硯, which I really like. She said:
'MnO2 (Manganese dioxide) is a type of catalyst. Let me tell you, my daughter.. when MnO2 is mixed to your life, besides it keeps rushing 'quick, quick', it strengthen you for challenges, it colored your life too. It let you shine with different colors at different places. It let you have your true worth at any situation. My dear daughter, this is mama.'
This book has many short stories about the author's life as a mother and a writer. I immediately fall in love with this book when I read the first article.
'... if you used to do housework, you will know that the toughest part are the small stuff, the little things.. what more when it keeps repeating! When my daughter was around 2-3 years old, I chased her in order to feed her, I chased her in order to bath her, ... I chased until I felt sad and like a failure. There was a time I asked her in an adult way: 'Do you want to give mommy happiness or sadness?' She answered: 'Mommy, chase me lah, that is happiness!' That reply was like a big nail nailed on my feet.. I took a big breath, make like a tiger.. Roar! Roar! Roar! Pounce on... happiness have to be chased.'
The author is able to transfer what she felt as a mom in writing to the reader, especially when the reader is a mom too. Besides, it makes me understand that every moms do go through what other moms are going through. It is not just me. This, in deed make me feel very happy.

This book was bought for me by my dad.. I am amazed of his wisdom.
