The best advertisements here are during Chinese New Year, for sure. Touching, funny, heart and thought-provoking.
4 grandmothers are sitting around a mahjong table in the garden. They're all very proud of their sons and one by one, they start to boast about them. My son is a doctor overseas...works so hard and earns a lot.....my son is a professional so and so in one of those big firms, works so hard, so can't see him a lot...etc etc.." (in Hokkien...with subtitles of course.. ). And then when the 4th grandma is asked about her son, she says that her son is coming to pick her up...and then he arrives in a little Proton car and walks her to the car while the other grandmas watch on with a whimsical, envious, wishful... expression on their faces. Someone else wrote an excerpt about it here.
Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions when the whole family is together...how nice would it be to be so?
When and if I'm a grandmother, I hope all my children are near me, in the same country and we can take family portraits every year with every member present. That would be nice.
