Lunar New Year Ad From A Desperate Chinese Mom · Global Voices
Oiwan Lam

A Chinese mom bought a whole page of ad on Chinese Melbourne Daily to post a letter to her oversea son, calling him to go home for Lunar New Year.
The letter said:
To my son Peng,
I’ve made many calls to you, but you never picked up. This ad is probably the only thing that can reach you. Mom and dad won’t force you to get married any more. Please go back home for Spring Festival this year!
Loving you
Mom
