It was a heartbreaking moment when his wife Shanmei (Huang Biren) found him alone lost in the park but he could not recognise her, greeting her Auntie. The episode was made sadder a couple of minutes later when Yaozong feeling lost, broke down and cried aloud, asking his parents when they have suddenly turned old. He wanted things to turn back to how he remembered. His parents seeing their grown up son sobbing like a child, having no answers for him, broke down together.
Scenes in tv series though often dramatised for effects, are in some ways reflecting our daily lives and concerns. It has set me thinking, what happens if one day any of my family members or myself lose our memories? Often our relationships are determined and influenced by our past memories. Will I still be my parents' son? Will I still be my siblings' brother? Will I still be your friend? Will I still be me?
