Let me salute her! Who is she? Madam Chen Jiaying! A mother loved that can never be replaced by anyone. Neither did she blame her husband for suffering from this illness nor having a polio-stricken son who is unable to walk and talk. She chose to be optimistic and moved on with her life. Madam Chen, 72, despite thinking how would she survive having to take care both of her husband and son in the future, she thinks of her son’s future. If one day she is gone, who will take care of his son?
In Singapore, I heard many cases about this situation recently. And many people look at them unusually and treat them differently as compare to us. For example, I have a friend who is unable to hear. Even with a hearing aid, it does not help much either. Whenever I try to talk to her I feel so intolerant and frustrated because she couldn’t hear what I ‘am talking. But after this incident, I have a serious reflection on myself. I feel that we should not despise people who are born with illness because after all they are humans like us. Isn’t it?
After reading this article, it touches my heart. I would like to say that Madam Chen is not as fortunate as anyone out there. So, if you were to pass by any situation similar to Madam Chen. I would like to persuade everyone to reach out your helping hand! After all, doing a good deed can do you the world of good.
