3.1.24A《关于姥姥的片段》Story-Advanced

LCTS
About this episode

Today, we have something special to share with you—a heartfelt letter written by a granddaughter during the Qingming Jie, a time of remembrance and honoring our ancestors.

In the letter, she recalled the small gestures of love, like secretly giving us pocket money for candies and patiently waiting at the school gate every day. As I read this letter, it reminded me of my own dear grandma, who recently left us but forever holds a special place in my heart. Hopefully you can also take a moment to reflect on your own experiences with your grandparents, those precious moments that have shaped your life.
