Being Her Mother’s Eyes, the Handicapped Woman Took Care of Her Legally Blind Mother for Thirty-Six Years

Wonderful people, who took the values of filial piety, to practice here, off of the Newspapers, translated…

The sixty-three-year-old Chiang, had been diagnosed with polio since he was a young child, although he’d been immobilized since, he’d never blamed anybody or anything, took care of his mother who’d been legally blind since she turned fifty for thirty-six years on end.  He became his mother’s, eyes, took her to travel around all over, to help his mother still enjoy life, despite how she could, no longer, see.

The three recipients of this award were Chiang, from Tucheng District Office, Chang, who was nominated by the Blessed Wisdom Cultural Foundation, and Huang, nominated by the Blessed Wisdom Cultural Foundation.

When Chiang had time to spare, he’d often thought of ways to entertain his own mother, for example, rolling out the dumplings, when she’d done it from long ago, gentle toward his mother, giving his mother massages, he’d even, bathed his own mother himself.  His mother told, that for all these years, she could live on as normally as she could, because her son became, her other set of eyes.  He’d wheeled his mother out on her wheelchair to shop, to buy the groceries from the marketplaces, to get some sunshine, and, he’d never gone anywhere without her.

Chang is sixty-two years-old this year, from 1995, she’d become, the sole caretaker of her husband who’s in a vegetative state, and her aging mother-in-law, also took care of her aging mother who’d become, severely, auditorily impaired, and demented too, also, she shoulders up the responsibilities to raise up her own young, she’d given everything to her husband, and her own side of the families.  Her brother-in-law, Mr. He told, that she’d, given a lot, that everybody in the family was, very moved by her.

Since Huang’s father passed away, to help her mother with the household economics, although she’d been retired, and had moved to Taidong, she’d traveled between Taidong, Bali, and Banciao often, to care for her own mother, and her in-laws too.Especially as her mother was diagnosed with dementia, she’d shouldered up everything, in assisting her mother to treatment, getting her mother’s medication, and continued to recite the Buddhist verses regularly, entertained her families by singing, dancing, and she’d, led her younger and older siblings to make a video of memories they are sharing with their own elders.  She’d also, expanded her compassion to the elders in her local community too, and offered the courses on how to keep up with one’s own health for the elderly population in her area.

And so, these two, are amazing individuals, they’d, taken care of their loved ones, with all their hearts, and, their love for their families is well noted here.
