Stop or Move?

Yesterday, I was watching this TV series entitled "小妹", which is "Little Sister" in English. There was this guy, named Fu Yu, who was born in a poor family. His mom is someone who drinks alcohol all day long, even if Fu Yu tells her not to drink, and his dad is someone who repairs bicycles. His dad works so slow, that customers do not want to come to their shop anymore, so they don't earn much living to buy their everyday needs. In order to solve this problem, Fu Yu, 7 years old, has to work outside to help his parents. Years passed, and time has come for Fu Yu to go to military service. In Taiwan, it's a normal thing for boys to go to the military and serve for 14 months when they reach the age of 18. When he finished his service, he immediately went back home to help his father with the bicycle shop. Day after day pass, and their bicycle shop began to earn some money. His mother still drinks all day long, and now, Fu Yu begins to shout at her telling her to not drink, because the money he earned is just wasted. One day, the drunkard mother vomited blood, she was sent to the hospital, and was diagnosed to have lung disease phase III. Fu Yu shared to his father what he really thinks, about his mother drinking all day long, and this was overheard by the mother. Then, the mother realized the filial piety his son shows, and she decided to stop drinking. This is very hard for the mother, because she has been drinking for 20-30 years already. One day, she can't take it anymore, she stole some money from the drawer, where his son's earnings are, and went to buy alcohol. Eventually the son found out, and was angry for what she has done. And the mother also, she was very very angry, that she told her son to go out of the house. At first, the son did not want to go out, but the mother's words are really getting over the line, he finally said yes, he is gonna go out of the house. He ran to the forest and and to the river, and tells the gods how ridiculous his mother is, he pour out all his sorrows, and thinks he can do nothing. But then, a spark came in him, and he said to himself, "I am a person! I can make my tomorrow better!"
Our tomorrows will be brighter!

All of us can make our tomorrows better, because we are humans. We have the capability to make a change, that is for the better, and not for the worst! We must say, "We are not robots, who are limited to these and that. We are humans, who can do these and that!"  We cannot just stop because somebody said or did something, we have to move on and MAKE A CHANGE! So, are you ready to MAKE A MOVE?
