Tamporary setbacks can be the greater strength for us

My friends, temporary setbacks can be the greater strength for us.
Do you know there is the 112 years old young lady still find time to contribute something great to the society?
Her whole life is focus on giving love to others unconditionally. Her selfless attitudes not only bring joy to those she helps but also touching so people's hearts, how can I not sharing it out. We ready can learn something from this great lady. She is the ready the good model in this century.
She is Teresa Hsu Chin who is living in Singapore. Although She is thin but full of energies just like the young lady. She likes to help poor, sick, old people.
She said:" I have many companion, I love them [ poor, sick , old people ]. Helping them unconditionally is my responsibility because we are all one family."
My friends, let's learn more about Teresa.
Part 1--the helpful child
Teresa Hsu Chin was born on 1897 in China. She had the unhappy childhood. Early years. When Hsu was young, her father walked out on the family for another woman. Her mother, who was illiterate, had to fend for the three girls and one brother singlehandedly. She was the understanding child then, everyday she did housework. After washing clothes in the river, she had to find herbs in the mountains. At home she needed to do some handicraft work to earn little money to help up the family. Sadly to say that her irrational father always scolded and beat her. Although she had no chance to go to school at the younger age but the illiterate mother loved her very much, she learned many good things from her caring mom like diligence, good morals ,etc. The unhappy childhood did not make her weak but more stronger person. Did she had the opportunity to study in school later? I will discuss it on my next post. Now is the time to ponder about Teresa's mother giving great love for her was the greater strength for her.
That's for today.
Let's continue part 2--Teresa likes to study with enthusiasm.
