Their home is very small, only 107 square feet, into which is crammed a bed, a desk, and other basic furniture and household items. There is no room for a private bathroom, so they share a communal bathroom with the families living downstairs.<\/p><p>The one-room apartment has a small balcony, which doubles as their kitchen. Because it\u2019s outside, the kitchen has no cover and is exposed to the elements. A recycled gas stove sits in a corner of the balcony, but it doesn\u2019t work very well\u2014the flame is low and requires fanning to get it going full blast.<\/p><p>Despite the primitive setup, Giang is optimistic and tends to look at life\u2019s hardships with a positive attitude. \u201cCooking here [on the balcony] is nice,\u201d Giang said. \u201cYou can see the stars in the evening, and it\u2019s cooler out here. I can just pop my head out to check if my son is returning home from school. There are many benefits.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWhat if it rains?\u201d several visiting Tzu Chi volunteers asked in unison.<\/p><p>A-zhi quickly responded by producing something that looked like a small electric hotplate. \u201cWe have an induction cooker,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen it rains, we can just go inside and use it to cook some noodles.\u201d<\/p><p>Giang and A-zhi live a simple life and take care of each other. They seem to be content with a roof over their head and each other to rely on. The mother keeps their home spotless, and the son never complains about not having enough money. They are a living example of Master Cheng Yen\u2019s saying: \u201cIt\u2019s better to have a broad heart than a spacious house.\u201d<\/p><p>Giang is originally from Vietnam, but she moved to Taiwan after getting married. When her husband died of cancer, the burden of supporting her family fell on her shoulders. She became so busy making a living she even stopped going to church. When people at her church learned about her situation, they referred her to the Tzu Chi Foundation for help. That was back in 2011, eight years ago. Since then, the foundation has provided her and her son with a monthly subsidy as well as emotional support and care. During this time, volunteers have witnessed A-zhi grow from a second-grader to a high schooler.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-49801e8d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49801e8d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ed33dc9\" data-id=\"1ed33dc9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a43f941 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a43f941\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>A considerate son<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5632a3f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5632a3f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In The Twenty-Four Paragons of Filial Piety, written during China\u2019s Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), there is a story about a young boy named Huang Xiang (\u9ec3\u9999). In this folk tale, Huang lost his mother when he was nine, but he continued to take good care of his father. During the hot summer season, he made a point of fanning his father\u2019s bed at night to cool it for his father to sleep on. During the cold of winter, Huang warmed his father\u2019s bed with his own body heat so his father could have a warm bed on which to fall asleep comfortably.<\/p><p>Though this folk tale is very old, A-zhi has brought it to life. The apartment he and his mother share is so small that there is room for only one bed. Each night, one of them, mother or son, gets the bed and the other gets the floor, with a piece of fabric in between serving as a partition. A-zhi always volunteers to sleep on the floor in winter so that his mother can sleep on the bed and stay warmer, whereas in summer he chooses to sleep on the bed and leaves the cooler floor for his mom to sleep on. Like Huang Xiang in the story, A-zhi is a good son and demonstrates exemplary filial piety.<\/p><p>Giang said emotionally that she used to be so busy working she didn\u2019t have time to pay much attention to people around her\u2014including her son. But that changed one day when she came down with the flu. She was running a fever of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), and A-zhi lovingly cared for her by applying a cold compress to her forehead and plying her with water. He kept tabs on her temperature by repeatedly feeling her forehead with his hand. A-zhi lavished care on her and showed the love of a devoted son. That\u2019s when she realized: \u201cHow nice it is to have a son!\u201d It\u2019s no surprise that Giang is all smiles when she talks about her son.<\/p><p>She added that A-zhi was always more mature than other children his age growing up. When he was in kindergarten, his school organized a field trip and invited parents to participate. Because she had to work that day, she couldn\u2019t decide whether to join the trip or not. A-zhi told her, much like an adult: \u201cMom, you\u2019ll always have time to make money, but my childhood will only happen once. Once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019ll be\u00a0 gone forever.\u201d After receiving such wise advice, she decided to attend the field trip.

Schoolwork was demanding, and Tzu Chi volunteer Chen Jian-hua (\u9673\u5efa\u83ef) tried to give him as much support as he could. He encouraged A-zhi to do his best but not put too much pressure on himself.<\/p><p>Seeing how hard A-zhi was working, volunteer Tang Yu-huan (\u6e6f\u923a\u74b0) asked him if he needed to attend a cram school to supplement his studies. A-zhi replied that he didn\u2019t want to increase his mother\u2019s financial burden, so he would hold off on the cram school until it was time to get into high gear to prepare for the General Scholastic Ability Test to enter college.<\/p><p>A-zhi works hard at more than schoolwork. For example, he works part-time at his school for an hour every day to earn some pocket money to buy textbooks and school supplies. It\u2019s usually seven in the evening by the time he returns home.<\/p><p>Though he works hard and his mother expects a lot from him, it hasn\u2019t always been smooth sailing between the two. When he was in junior high, he fell in love with on-line video games. For a time, he spent so much time on them his mother became very worried that he would fall behind in his schoolwork. Their relationship became greatly strained over the issue.<\/p><p>Giang shared the situation with the Tzu Chi volunteers who regularly visited them, and even cried out of frustration. Volunteer Tang shared her own experiences as a mother with her, saying, \u201cIt is wrong to think that our children should do everything we tell them to just because we\u2019re their mothers. That will only result in tension between us, and no one will win in such a situation. As long as it doesn\u2019t affect his performance at school, allow A-zhi to relax every once in a while. It will help him to relieve stress.\u201d<\/p><p>Tang gave her own relationship with her daughter as an example and said that the two of them once nearly fell out until she decided to change her attitude and stop being so controlling toward her daughter. \u201cOnce I let go, things became much easier for me,\u201d Tang said, \u201cand my daughter and I began to get along a lot better.\u201d<\/p><p>Heeding Tang\u2019s advice, Giang changed her mindset, and the tension between her and her son eased as a result. \u201cIt\u2019s hard being a mother and father at the same time. I knew nothing about parenting. Thankfully, Sister Tang has taught me a lot about how to communicate and get along better with my son.\u201d<\/p><p>Due to the longstanding companionship of Tzu Chi volunteers, Giang has developed an emotional bond with them and has come to trust them. She can let her guard down when she is with them, and she feels free to pour out whatever unhappiness or frustration she is experiencing. \u201cMy husband is no longer around,\u201d she remarked, \u201cbut I\u2019m lucky to have the Tzu Chi volunteers. They\u2019re like family to me now and have given me very strong shoulders to lean on.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c0a5710 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2c0a5710\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-47a457be\" data-id=\"47a457be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e4f5eda elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5e4f5eda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/110-45-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-22af41a1\" data-id=\"22af41a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab84b59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab84b59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A-zhi often studies late into the night.

Tang brought two blankets to go with the bed.<\/p><p>Tang knew that the desk lamp on Azhi\u2019s desk was broken, so she gave him a new lamp too. A-zhi carefully opened the box and pulled out a white-and-purple lamp. He plugged it in and turned off the room\u2019s ceiling light to test the lamp. \u201cWow! I can finally get a good night\u2019s sleep,\u201d his mother exclaimed. The volunteers were surprised that Giang seemed happier than her son over the desk lamp.<\/p><p>It turned out that A-zhi had been relying on the ceiling light to study at night, and its brightness made it difficult for Giang to fall asleep. She always had to wait until after midnight, when A-zhi had finished his homework and turned off the light, before she could finally sleep. Always the good son, A-zhi had taken to spending every Saturday at his uncle\u2019s place so that his mother could have a good rest. Now with the new desk lamp, she could go to sleep earlier, and A-zhi could stay home on Saturday nights.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c00f5c3 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c00f5c3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d5fe2bc\" data-id=\"d5fe2bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc9fe1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc9fe1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Around the world with his mom<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96ed257 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"96ed257\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A-zhi once accompanied his mother to the market for grocery shopping. While shopping, they saw a beggar, his hair a mess and his entire body covered in grime. Without a word, Giang took out all the change she had in her pocket and gave it to the beggar. She then turned to her son and said, \u201cWe must help those who are worse off than ourselves.\u201d Those words had a profound impact on A-zhi.<\/p><p>In 2019, A-zhi won a Tzu Chi New Shoots Scholarship. During the award ceremony, he thanked his mother for taking good care of him for the past 16 years and said he\u2019d never felt less love with one parent than he had with two. He said that though they were not rich, he never felt he lacked anything in life. He was full of gratitude for his mother because he knew that everything he had was due to the long hours she worked.<\/p><p>He also thanked Tzu Chi volunteers for their care and support and said that they had become an important part of his life. He hoped that, by dint of his own strength, he could become a medical doctor in the future to help more people. He wants to help his family climb out of poverty, take his mother on a tour around the world, and give her a better life.<\/p><p>Giang, standing beside him on the stage, was by this time in tears. When they returned to their seats, she said, \u201cI wanted to say on stage that I have a very loving son who never makes me worry. He performs very well at school and even does a good job of sweeping the floor and cooking at home. But I was so emotional and weepy I couldn\u2019t get a single word out!\u201d<\/p><p>Giang and A-zhi have faced many obstacles and have overcome many difficulties together. Giang lost the love of her life to cancer, and had to raise her son by herself.
