A DOUBLE
GOOD-BYE: It
could have been three years ago when
Nai, her brother Long and her sister Ching woke up and realized that
their parents were gone. Poor and in a hopeless situation, they had
gone to look for work. To Taiwan, some said. They were never seen
again. An uncle took the children in. He already had three children
of his own and a wife, with whom he fought about the new arrivals.
One morning, Nai, Long and Ching woke up and saw that their uncle,
his wife and the three children had disappeared. He had vanished.
Since then, Nai, Long and Ching lived like Hansel and Gretel in a
small hut in the jungle. They gathered leaves, insects and berries
in the woods to survive. They are strong and are not afraid of
anything. Woodsmen from the village found the children and told
with Nai and Long and brought them to the farm. She thought it
was paradise. Ching comes time and again to see how her siblings
are doing. She wants to help out on the farm later, when we can
provide living space for her. Isn’t she afraid to stay alone in the
jungle? No, she says, she’s not afraid of anything. Nai (her name
means “where are you?”) plays the Thai guitar and wants to be a
doctor someday. Long (his name means “lost”) also wants to be a
doctor. He likes to swim and can do everything that a man needs
to do to survive in the jungle: from climbing trees to look for ants’
nests to washing the dishes.
