Mother's Day approaches: Legislator Yang Joong-ying distributes carnations at Tanzhi Market

As Mother's Day approaches, a heartwarming initiative unfolded at the Tanzhi Traditional Market, bringing smiles to many faces. Legislator Yang Joong-ying, accompanied by Councilor Lai Chao-kuo, personally distributed carnations to shoppers and vendors, offering early wishes for a happy Mother's Day. This thoughtful gesture aimed to express gratitude and recognition for the invaluable contributions of mothers in our society.

“

Mother's Day is an important day to express our feelings. I hope that through the small gesture of giving carnations, we can pay our highest respects to all mothers and remind children to cherish the time spent with their mothers and express their thanks and love in a timely manner.

The act of giving carnations, a traditional symbol of Mother's Day, resonated deeply with the community. Many recipients expressed their joy and appreciation, with some younger individuals planning to pass on the flowers to their own mothers, extending the spirit of celebration. For the vendors, who often work tirelessly amidst the hustle and bustle of the market, the flowers served as a beautiful reminder to pause and feel appreciated, bringing a moment of 'blooming happiness' to their day.

Many vendors in the market are mothers themselves. It is not easy for them to manage their businesses for many years while also taking care of their families. Giving carnations on the eve of Mother's Day is not only to express blessings to the shoppers but also to pay tribute to these hardworking mother vendors.

Legislator Yang Joong-ying emphasized the crucial role mothers play in the family and society, highlighting their strength in managing households, raising children, and balancing professional lives. She reiterated her commitment to advocating for improved women's welfare, educational resources, and family support systems, aiming to build a robust network of care. Councilor Lai Chao-kuo echoed these sentiments, paying special tribute to the many mothers who are also dedicated business owners, acknowledging their immense efforts in managing both their businesses and families.

“

I'm going to give this to my mom!

This event, while seemingly small, carries significant meaning. It fosters a sense of community and reminds everyone of the importance of expressing love and gratitude towards mothers. It's a reflection of our local values, where family ties and the role of mothers are deeply respected and celebrated. Such initiatives, driven by local representatives, strengthen the connection between the community and its leaders, ensuring that important occasions are marked with warmth and sincerity.

I'm so busy with business every day, I rarely celebrate festivals specially. Receiving this flower made me feel like my heart bloomed.
