The Mother

by Pearl Buck

In rural China, a nameless woman's life shatters when her husband abandons her and their three children. Shamefaced, she hides the truth, pretending he's away. Working tirelessly, she farms the land, raises her children, and cares for her mother-in-law. Poverty and hardship become her constant companions, but her love for her children is an unwavering flame. Through sacrifice and fierce determination, she strives to give them an education, hoping for a brighter future, all while a changing world swirls around them.
