Working in Taiwan, mother shed tears because of her 3-year-old son's actions

On March 18, the Vietnamese community working abroad spread a clip recording a 3-year-old boy sitting absent-mindedly on the front steps of his house early in the morning.

The reason the boy sat with his knees drawn up in the empty, quiet house made many people sob.

The boy sat absent-mindedly on the steps of his house early in the morning because he missed his mother so much (Photo cut from clip: VHT).

Ms. HT, the owner of the clip, said that the child in the clip is her son. Ms. T. has just moved to Taiwan (China) to work for over a year, leaving her son in her hometown for her parents to take care of.

At the end of last year, Ms. T. planned to visit her child, but her work in Taiwan encountered problems. She had just transferred to a new company for a few days, so she has not yet arranged time to visit her child.

While reviewing the camera installed in her hometown, Ms. T. burst into tears when she saw her son sitting alone on the steps, head down, face in his hands. The boy missed his mother so much. He sat there quietly while the other family members were still sleeping.

"My son is still young but wakes up very early, is quiet and often alone. Seeing him sitting there alone, I feel both pity and pity. Every choice has its trade-offs. Now I just hope to earn money, return to my son soon and hope that my son will always be healthy at home," Ms. T. confided.

The clip posted on social media has attracted 1.2 million views and thousands of interactions.

The mother's decision to leave her child behind to work abroad and earn money has also sparked debate.

SN account commented: "Work to earn money to take care of your child, but what your child needs is a childhood close to his mother. Only have children when the economy is ready. Don't let your child have to live away from his mother at such a young age."

On the other hand, many people shared and sympathized with the mother's feelings. "Perhaps because of difficult circumstances, the mother had to endure living far away from her child. The mother also just hopes to have money to take care of her child so that he can have a better future. Hopefully, the child will be able to live near his mother as soon as possible," GHK account expressed.
