If mother stay in hospital, the daughter need to stay in hospital all night to company mother?
My mother stay in hospital because of heart attack, I have to stay there all night. When mednight coming all the people were asleep, I felt lonely and tired. In this month, my boyfriend gets use to I stay in hospital all night. He gives me support a lot include moral and economy. But all night and all morning, the time is too long. He feels I love my mother is more than him. This is not true. I love him. But I have responsibility to take care my mother. I love my mother, the love is very deferent. He is foreigner. I am a Chinese.

hello!
I can understand your boyfriend that he's kind of jearlous.
here in germany many boys also would be jearlous.
but i can understand you and i think you shouldn't care about what your boyfriend says.
of course your mother is more important, because she needs you.
your boyfriend needs you as well..but not as much as your mother.
and if your boyfriend would be at hospital you would be there for him as well..
you should tell him this.
maybe you could ask other relatives to company your mother as well.because you have to sleep some time!

your mother is more important than your boyfriend. Mama will love you forever, you can be sure. and your boyfriend ... is just a boyfriend.

AND (to the top) You don't know him anyway, and as he is foreigner, you will know him even less. And he doesn't need you, he just wants you.
On the other side stands your mom who needs your help and whom you have known all your life.

My boyfriend helps me to manage my mother operation. He has done things more than I do for my mother sick. We went to another city to make my mother healthy insure card. This card is important for my mother. This card make my mother can get good care in hospital. He can get this card in a day, and I spent 2 months to find out how to make this card. 13 day ago, when the doctor said my mother would die, he told me:� Never give up.� He saved my mother life. A month ago, when my mother felt heart attack, he let me to call ambulance and we take taxi to get to help my mother. He did he feel man have to do the right thing in his virtue way.

My mom will be home tomorrow. This is a good new.
My nephew got a high fever. My sister has to stay at home to look after her son.
My elder sister feels Chinese culture is a daughter company her mother all night. I love my sister. But I don't love her order. So my mother don't allow me to say my sister anymore bad words.
Is this my fault? Which is important for my elder sister?
Her mother, her husband, her house, her children?[/size] She said she has to sell her house to pay for my mother coast. If my mother died in hospital, she will live without house and her mother. She asked me how to choose. I am silent.

In the former Soviet Union health care was provided by the government free of charge. I thought it was the same in China.
In Canada we have free health care, so does UK. In USA(as I understand it) older people who cannot afford care have it paid for by the government.
Perhaps admiral can tell us how it works in Germany?
Free health care used to be a basic ideal of all socialists. What has happened in China?

Ok, I love to talk about this topic. My mother has a health care insure card. It is 50% payment from railway health care insure company. For example, my mother had been in hospital for a month. Her total bill is RMB 102,360. Yesterday, I paid half of payment to let her check out hospital. This is mean; my family pay RMB 50,000 at least. The railway health care insure company let me wait for 2 days. They have to check anything about my mother�s bill. In this bill, there are some medicine is belong to self payment or insure payment. The local government said they will pay RMB 5,000 for my mother�s heavy bill. And the blood centre will pay back my mother RMB 9,786 blood cost which depends on blood law. (If a man gave blood to blood centre for free, his family and he will use blood for free in hospital.)

lolita_zhong, nobody here in eslcaf� can tell you what you should do because we don't know you.
But from my personal logical point of view, I think:

If she had been a nice mother, if she cared for you a lot (for example had grown you up, had washed your nappies, had sent you to primary school/educated you etc, then maybe your sister is right, (as 长辈 [elder members of family] are very very important in Chinese culture)

If she had been a bad mother, for example never cared about you a lot, always thought about herself, sees you as be her old age insurance only, if she's a bad person and never thought about helping others, (also Chinese culture) then I personally would have thought twice.

Ok, today I have to pay the total bill of my mother cost in hospital. A lot of thing happy recent days, first my mother health care card have some problem, the health care office make a little mistake about that card, it make my card failed . I had to go to LiuZhu city by train. It is so tired to do it. After I got the card from LiuZhu, I fall in trouble to pay a lunge bill when the card could use. I begged the accountant who could split the bill for the blood office where pay to me the blood money. I complained again and again why I want the blood receipt before I pay the total bill. I begged again and again. I told with the leader of the accountant the same thing in office.
Finally I got the receipt what I asked. This is not easy, it spent my whole Friday. I run three offices to ask for help. I am refused again and again. When I got the receipt what I want. I am relaxed a little. But Monday is more important. Today is Monday, later I have to take the blood receipt to get the 9786 RMB from the blood office at 10 AM. And then I will take the money to pay to hospital. I will get that total receipt right? God!!
