People of the World: Ms Ou, Norwegian. When I entered her house in the town of Stavanger, I
noticed a place with 'minimalistic' design,more accurately a lack thereof. But it was utilitarian. Ms Ou dedicated 39 years of service to a public hospital in Guangzhou, China. While the hospital is often understaffed and the salary is as competitive, she didn't really mind it at all because she sought service over self-interest. When her sons found jobs in Norway, she followed suit and retired there. She doesn't miss Guangzhou at all because there is no family there. As we chatted, she emphasised on the importance of fillial piety as these are values that are forgotten in our fast-paced society. She struck me as someone who is very family-oriented. The next morning, I woke up pleasantly surprised when I saw my laundry neatly folded up by my bedside. Then I remembered the proverb she mentioned, '在家靠父母,出家靠朋友'(depend on your family at home, but depend on your friends abroad). Here I took a picture of Ms Ou as how I see her : Simple, down-to-earth and kind-hearted.
