Saw this article about the famous HK Radio DJ Yu Zheng accompanying her mother til the the very end. I was very touched and thought an excerpt was worth quoting.
"我们年幼时多么渴望父母拖着我们的手,我们哭,闹都因为想长辈抱我们,给我们安全感.那么到长辈年老,觉得自然机能退化,感到软弱的时候,为什么我们不回报给他们呢?"
This is exactly what I did NOT do on my CNY trip home this time around. My trip, 美其名was a trip to visit 'family' but in reality, how much time did I spend with my mother and my father? God only knows. Maybe one evening out of like, six?
I am deeply embarrassed and hope to make up for it. Next time. Soon. I hope.
