Appreciation: Among Bing Xin's several prose essays about his hometown and childhood, "Laba Porridge" is particularly special in that it is not a pure reminiscence of the past. Naturally, the author also uses "full of tenderness" to describe the past of his mother cooking Laba porridge.

However, in this prose, what touches the reader's heartstrings is not limited to the memories of the past; the scene of the children preparing to cook Laba porridge "in memory of our beloved Premier Zhou and Grandpa Zhou" is even more exciting. More direct, more intense, more solemn and innocent and touching

In fact, "Laba Porridge" is Bing Xin's meticulous work to commemorate the third anniversary of the death of Premier Zhou Enlai. Before that, she had also written a memorial to Premier Zhou "with both pen and tears". "Laba Porridge" uses the unique perspective of children to commemorate Grandpa Zhou, expressing the people's admiration, love and memory for their good prime minister.
