omg D: i just watched an episode of life transformers on chnl 8 just now, and it's really really really so touching. it was about this ordinary family who met this series of misfortunes, where the mother after giving birth to her child for two months, had a bad fall while cooking and couldn't walk much anymore cause of a spinal injury. then the father had a heredity diabetics, and had his leg amputated when his toe got infected during delivery.

but the girl is really really super sensible, her name is like chunfang, and cause both her parents are illiterate, she has to learn everything on her own in school and she puts in super alot of effort in her work! and then, on top of that she has to cook meals, clean the house, help with her dad's newspaper stall and ace her studies at the same time.

i think they are really strong, chunfang's mum has a phobia of walking cause after she fell, she was on a wheelchair but fell again when chunfang was pushing her at the age of five, thus now she doesn't do anything except sit in bed, which causes her leg to shrink and staying in the room everyday for nine years is just as good as solitary confinement, thus she isn't very healthy mentally as well.

there's the dad, even though all he wanted was an ordinary family to lead an ordinary life, his life turned for the worse. even then, he's pushed on for like nine years, earning like a meagre wage and trying to do his best to educate his daughter.

but i think the most resilient one is really chunfang. there was a part where 权怡凤asked her if she wanted to have new things like pencils, bears and such, and her reply was no. why? 不敢想. and i was like AHH, cause it really melted my heart D: then she believes that one day her mum will walk also, cause she remembers when her mum fell off the wheelchair, she took two steps before she fell again, and her faith in her mum is like unwavering! and she just does everything without a word of complaint. then when she got a new bed, she was just so happy, smiling from ear to ear!

ya but there was someone who stole their gas and cans, which were gifts from people, while they were cleaning the whole house, even though they're already like so poor and the police station is also right downstairs. omg ahh, the episode really just made my heart go out to the unfortunate, i think i shall like do more voluntary work and donate to charity next time when i start earning a steady income!
