   From: 2008, 劉育君, 予阿母的一張批 (A Letter to Mother)

   Hit-pái góa tō tiām-tiām-á hō͘ lí mē, in-ūi góa chai-iáⁿ lí ē chiah-nī siū-khì, tō-sī piáu-sī lí tùi góa bē-hiáu hó-hó-á chiàu-kò͘ ka-kī, sī gōa-nī hoân-ló. [Pe̍h-ōe-jī]

   That time, I silently let you scold me, because I know you getting this angry indicates that you are so worried that I don't know how to take good care of myself.
