My family story I updated on 12-03-2011
My sister had been accepted into public sector and now working as administrator in the health ministry. She had just added another new member to her family recently, a baby boy, my congratulation to her and her family.
My sister in law who work illegally in UK had called back during Chinese New Year and said she had obtained legal status to work in UK for another two year. She had a long live video chatting with her daughter.
My elder bother recommend us to watch the movie “After shock” during the Chinese New Year reunion and started to preach the important virtue of family and forgiveness.
The movie story is about an elder sister and brother who were trapped under collapsed building during the Tangsan earthquake. In the following rescues operation their mother needed to make a life and death decision as the rescue team only able to save one of the children due to the peculiar situation of the collapse rubbles. Their mother who just loss her husband to the earthquake bagged the rescue team to save both her children but the rescue team give their mother ultimatum to decide quickly either both will dies or save one of the children. Under this tremendous pressure the mother yelled save the brother. These three words “save the brother” was overheard and imprint onto the elder sister mind before she pass out. The rescue team managed to rescue the brother and the sister was left behind presumably she had met her died. Miraculously the sister comes back to life among rolls of dead body and wondering among the chaotic scene of disaster zone. She was picked up by the rescues army and place into orphanages. The traumatic experience and the feeling that her mother had abandoned her in preference to save the brother make her angry and shut out her mind to the outside world and she refuse to speak again.
She was adopted by a red army couple send to disaster zone for rescues work and was brought to Beijing. On the day his foster parent enrolled her to school and wanted to register her name as so and so, only then she speak out her actual name and then refuse to reveal her past due to her misguide anger and hatred toward her mother decision to save the bother and abandoned her to dead.
Fast forward many years later, she is still haunted by the horrible image and words of “save the brother” keep playing in her mind and she is still full of hatred and unforgiving. Meanwhile her survive brother who had loss an arm and their mother had rebuilt their home in Tangsan. The brother decided to move to town and seek jobs opportunity there thus leave her mother alone in Tangsan.
It is a harsh life for both the siblings; the brother had to start off as trishaw cyclist picking up passengers in train station and later progress into managing his own transport company. Meanwhile the sister halfway through her medical studies abandons her study and become a single parent. She only visits her foster father after disappears for 4 long years. Anyhow all is forgiven when the adopt daughter apologies for her disappearance and seeking her foster father blessing to marry a foreigner.
Fast forward to Sichuan earthquake, the brother and sister found themselves as volunteers for the rescue operation. The sister now a mother to a teenage daughter witness the horrible scale of the disaster and the split second death and live decision the rescues team and field medical doctor had to make in order to save as much life as possible. The sister begins to reconcile with her past and immediately recognised her brother from the overheard conversation.
The brother brought her long loss sister to meet their mother in Tangsan. The mother apologies for the decision she had to make in the after shock of Tangsan and the daughter apologies for her misguided anger, hatred and unforgiving toward the mother and her inability to reconcile with the past and to seek reunion with the mother much early.
All is forgiven in the embraced of mother and daughter.
Forgiveness is a great virtue that the present world needed the most. It takes hatred and split second of bravely to kill your enemy but it takes life long courage and forgiveness to talk peace and build a better future for all mankind.
Happy Malaysia Day, One Malaysian Family, Forgiveness and Reset.
