Helen,

A very interesting tale of three refugee mothers. It is especially endearing to me because all three mothers came from my part of Chungshan, in Guangdong province. There is no mistaken of the accent or the dialect.

Will watch and listen again soon. just to hear our dialect spoken.

And the stories that are told could be from any one of our Mothers.
