When I was young, my mother told me
my father had a beautiful voice.
:24:04
My mother is illiterate
She didn't understand the text.
:24:08
But she couldn't resist my father's voice.
:24:12
She went by the school
every day after that.
:24:16
For most, the novelty of the new school
wore off after a while.
:24:20
But not for my mother.
:24:22
For 40 years, she went to listen.
:24:24
It became part of her life.
:24:29
''Have respect for your eIders.''
:24:51
My mother heard that each day
after school...
:24:54
...my father walked some students home.
:24:56
She started waiting beside the road,
hoping to meet my father.
