A Mother's Sacrificial Love with Guest Columnist and Author, Qin Sun Stubis
00:34:29
THIS IS A STORY OF A JOURNEY SPANNING FOUR GENERATIONS OF CHINESE WOMEN AND THREE CHINESE REVOLUTIONS AND CULTURAL CLASHES. THESE WOMEN FAUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES, EXPERIENCED ABANDONMENT, STARVATION, HOMELESSNESS AND WERE OSTRACIZED BY THEIR OWN FAMILIES. MY GUEST IS A COLUMNIST FOR THE SANTA MONICA STAR AND AUTHOR OF THE BOOK “ONCE OUR LIVES.” CHING SUN STUBIS IS JOINING US FROM THE WASHINGTON DC METROPOLITAN AREA TO SHARE STORIES OF HER MOTHER “YEN” WHO WAS ABANDONED BY HER OWN FAMILY BECAUSE SHE WAS A BABY GIRL BORN IN CHINA. CHING HAS MANY LESSONS THAT SHE LEARNED FROM HER MOTHER INCLUDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EDUCATION AND READING, THE VALUE OF BEING RESOURCEFUL AND SO MUCH MORE. QIN SHARES THAT SHE FELT AS THOUGH HER MOTHER'S SPIRIT WAS VERY CLOSE TO HER WHILE WRITING THIS LIFE STORY, THOUGH SHE HAD PASSED YEARS PRIOR. MY GUEST REMEMBERED MANY MANY DETAILS THAT HER MOTHER THOUGHT WOULD POSSIBLY BE FORGOTTEN OVER TIME.
