In China, there is an ancient fable about bamboo. In the Three Kingdom Period, a person named Meng Zong, lived with his mother only, because his father passed away when he was very young. As Meng Zong grows up day by day, his mother also grows old day by day.

One winter, Meng Zong’s mother has a serious illness and has been seeking medical treatment for a long time without improvement. Looking at his increasingly thin and weak mother, Meng Zong was very worried in his heart. Someday, his mother lying in the sickbed suddenly wanted to eat bamboo shoots. Meng Zong was delighted and quickly went to the bazaar to buy bamboo shoots. However, at that time, it was the coldest time in the year, and fresh bamboo shoots had not grown yet. Meng Zong can not buy fresh bamboo shoots from the bazaar, so he went to the nearest bamboo forest, tried to search for bamboo shoots. Unfortunately, not a single bamboo shoot can be found.

Helpless Meng Zong thought of his mother’s hard work over the years and cried while holding the bamboo. His tears were streaming down the soil where bamboo grows. Suddenly, a fresh bamboo shoot broke through the soil, one after another, a lot of bamboo shoots grew quickly. Meng Zong was overjoyed and quickly dug up a few bamboo shoots to run home, cooking them for his mother to eat. After eating up fresh bamboo shoots, his mother recovered her health shortly afterwards.

Although now there are bamboo shoots all the year round with the development of planting technology, the ancient fable tells people that showing filial respect for parents is timeless.
