Deng Bo-Dao, a middle-aged widower, fled for safety with his sister-in-law and two boys, his own son and his nephew, aiming to seek shelter from a relative at Tong Pass. Unfortunately, Deng’s sister-in-law was separated from the party in a riot of mob violence. Deng Bo-Dao continued the trip with the two boys, struggling to carry one on his back and lead the other by the hand. They reached a mulberry garden, hungry and exhausted. Knowing he was unable to travel with two children at one time, Deng faced a heartbreaking dilemma: Should he journey on with his own son and leave his brother’s son in the mulberry garden? Or should he leave his own son behind? The challenge is not only to Deng but to all of us who think we are brave enough to face any trial life throws in our face!
