This is a memoir I have written concerning the tragic life story of my mom - the favoured daughter of a prominent businessman father with a feudal Confucius mindset, who placed her entire trust into the system (tradition) only to be made to descend into extreme level poverty and became a victim of injustice, suppression, exploitation and abuse in the hands of my father - the nephew of a timber tycoon. The goal of the memoir is to have a long list of awareness raised, as I was living under chronic extreme level distress and in a survival mode, busy achieving perfectionism in a career path I was made to believe was the right one for me as a result of my desperation to seek for her justice that was never within reach.
