When my father left China he never thought he would end up in a
small city that became a country, he always like to retire in a
farm land in China, but he ended up happily farm for fun in the
little garden with his neighbor in this red dot. He thought big
countries gave you more space but later he realized that space
means nothing if you are afraid to go there because of potential
crime risk or because your presence is not treated the same because
of your skin colour, your religion or where you were born.
My parents will always be near to me because I always move to
where they are. I can't say much for my children and their
families, as they are free to live their life, but if my presence
is of any value to them, they won't want to be very far away from
me.
One thing never change in life, that is the need to change,
hopefully for the better.
cheers.
I understand. My maternal grandparents too were from Guangdong,
China. They migrated to Singapore before the outbreak of WW2. Every
parents would like to have filial children. Yes, change is the
word, it is a choice and hopefully for the better. Cheers.
