The Mother of Four-eyes

Four Eyes’ mother was a poetess, which influenced Four Eyes’ love for literature. She also affected Four Eyes extremely when she took him away from his reeducation site. She thought that Four Eyes was too smart to be at the site. She felt that there was no reason for him to be there. She convinces the government to let Four Eyes go, because she is a poetess so she has a good amount of power.
When Four Eyes left the reeducation site, this was a loss for Luo and Ma because Four Eyes was a good friend of theirs. Also, when he left, his books were left behind with the two friends. They eventually used these to read to the Little Chinese Seamstress so she could learn about other cultures. If Four Eyes had not been taken home by his mother, the boys would not have possessed all of the books.
Four Eyes’ mother also affected the characteristics of Four Eyes. She raised him as a child, so his selfishness and materialistic ways can be held responsible by her. Four Eyes’ personality is very much reflected by his mother. She is very stuck up and arrogant when she convinces the government to remove her son from his reeducation site. She thinks her son is better than everyone else and that he does not need reeducation.
