"The only one bun"

When students wrote family stories in class, one girl's mother told this sweet story about life during "three year economic difficulties" when people were "poor and had not enough to eat."  This would have been the 1960's.

She goes on to write:
"My mother was happy in particular, enjoying the bun with her little brothers.
Later on, my mother realized that what a precious steamed bun it is.  My grandpa did not eat the only one bun and kept it for his children.  He never shows his concern for his children.  He just works hard but say nothing everyday. . . Today my mother always thinks of that precious bun that is full of love."
