Weekend LaoDong
Society changes, family changes
|
There are fathers and mothers who see their children on the phone all day but do not see them in real life for a whole week. There are children who live hundreds of kilometers away from their parents, still send money, order medicine, make video calls to ask about them every month, but on the day their mothers are hospitalized, they cannot be present right next to them. There are also families of three generations living together under one roof. There are enough people for meals, but the father watches the phone, the father answers work messages, the child wears headphones, the grandchild eats and watches videos. Living under the same roof but still being very far apart. Being far apart can still be close.
