II. Exemplary Essay Describing the Image of My Mom and Dad When I Was Sick or Made a Good Deed

There's a proverb that goes, 'A father's work is like a mountain reaching the sky. A mother's love is like the endless East Sea.' Whenever I read this, my heart swells with emotion, filled with love and gratitude for my two life-givers. My father's efforts and my mother's kindness became even more deeply felt when I fell seriously ill and had to be hospitalized. Especially the image of my mother, the gentlest woman in the world for me.

A few months ago, I suddenly developed a high and prolonged fever. My forehead was radiating intense heat, despite my mother buying fever-reducing medicine and using a wet cloth to cool my forehead, wiping my body. The fever wouldn't subside. In the midst of my delirium, I could still see my mother's slightly pale face, bending over to look at me, her oval face still bearing the beauty of her girlhood. Strands of hair clinging to her forehead glistened with sweat, and her lips trembled as if about to cry. I overheard my father whispering to my mother, 'Stay calm; let's take our child to the emergency room for the doctors to treat. Everything will be fine.' Then, I felt myself being gently lifted into my father's arms, heading towards the taxi. I whispered to my mother, 'Don't worry.' My mother hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of clothing and a thin blanket to cover me, then ran after my father and me to the car.

The emergency room glowed with bright lights, doctors hurriedly moved around, including a gentle female doctor who examined me, asking both me and my mom about my symptoms. At that moment, my gaze was fixed on my mom because she sat right beside me. Her cool hands held my small, hot hand, soothingly rubbing and comforting: 'My dear, hang in there, the doctor will prescribe medicine to cure you soon.' I was already afraid of needles, yet I had to get my blood drawn for tests right then. I almost burst into tears out of fear. But my mom embraced me with tender arms, allowing me to bury my face in her slender shoulders. I could sense the sweet fragrance from her clothes, bringing an unusual sense of peace. Mom reassured me in a soft, sweet voice: 'Don't be scared! Testing is necessary to diagnose the illness and help you recover, my dear.' That gentle voice seemed to infuse me with new strength. I nodded and let my dad push the wheelchair to the blood test room.

By the afternoon, the doctor visited my room, discussing with my parents that I had a fairly severe case of dengue fever, requiring hospitalization and regular blood tests. I saw my mom, petite and trembling, her eyes widening with worry. In just over a day of my serious illness, my mother's face had noticeably worn out. Her thin hands seemed even thinner, the green veins more pronounced as she clutched her clothing, her face filled with concern. I knew she was worried but chose not to express it in words. She just wanted me to be at ease and not feel frightened.

In the following days, fortunately, my illness gradually receded. Yet, my mom tirelessly rushed from the hospital to home to cook porridge for me. Whenever a fever attack struck, she sat beside me, tenderly wiping my forehead, dabbing cool water to make me feel comfortable. Mom practically stayed up all night, even though my dad advised her to get some rest while he took over. However, every time I woke up, I saw my mom quietly sitting there, like a resilient warrior never weary. Sitting upright, her disheveled hair cascading over her forehead, she didn't bother to tidy up. Her eyes looked at me with overflowing affection, and her hands held mine gently.

Before being discharged, I could already support my mom for a stroll around the hospital's green grounds. Mom let me sit on a stone bench, seizing the opportunity to buy me a cup of fruit juice that I loved. I gazed at the vast blue sky, thinking silently: my mom is like my sky, an expansive realm of love and protection. Look, my mom is coming towards me. Her hand holds a cup of fruit juice, steps determined, left arm swaying gently. Despite her still thin appearance, her face radiates a sparkling joy. Perhaps because her beloved child is recovering, my mom is immensely happy.
