As we always knows that the love of parents is far greater than anything that one could ever imagine.
We always know that the chinese saying"父母恩大过天". Translated very literally, it means that the help that parents gave us is far more significant than what the gods gave us.
In this case set in the conservative Chinese society where the iron rule of one child policy prevails, it is understandable how badly the Chinese parents in China wants their child to succeed and they crave for a boy to carry on their lineage. However, they cannot stop what is going on in the minds of their children. They may be born in the wrong body.
Eversince in the past, Chinese parents cannot bear the idea of their son being unlike a normal male. According to novels and stories told, they will try all ways to correct them so that the children are like normal males.
These corrections include things like marry young, send them for male roughen up trainings and so on.
What can they hope to get out of it when it is torturing the mind of their own children?
One such mother cannot bear the thoughts of sending his son to such torturous places.
She supported him.
And tried to garner the support of others and educating them through the internet.
This is very brave of her in the conservative society and where internet is closely monitored.
This is a classic example of how a minority group can reach out to others and unite them for the common cause. It is ressuring to know that there are like-minded souls out there waiting for help and support. The Internet as a technology is able to do this and tries to solve an offline issue.
Very admirable to launder it out in the open.
