Now I know.<br /><br />There are always such beautiful, heart warming stories if we care to learn or find out.<br /><br />I had an experience personally of an adopted son who rented a room in a house, not realizing it was his real mom. <br />As well went out for food together, even on dates, (nothing happened) till one day by chance they found out.<br /><br />Love your eloquence, Sarawakiana. And you are observant.<br />You keep well and have a great week, Lee.

The second son was also a real person (really never found). But "the eldest son" was a distant relative. This pao lady's eldest son is still alive.<br /><br />the reasons why the lady stayed on in the village was because she wanted to wait for her second son to come home. But it was turbulent political time too.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-64318552262789874482010-01-13T07:00:30.326+08:002010-01-13T07:00:30.326+08:00Ah Ngao

People can go overseas and leave their aged parents at home or old folks homes. Children are not necessarily the carers any more. This is across all races. The Chinese used to be very filial to their parents. Nowadays it is quite common to find abandoned old parents especially amongst the poor. Sometimes they say it is by choice of the parents themselves.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-17928112952735134622010-01-13T06:32:56.925+08:002010-01-13T06:32:56.925+08:00Very touching story.

Salute to all the mothers! <br />But nowadays youngster will not like to go back to the little hometown and prefer to stay in big city or oversea.
