About the Movie
ACCORDING TO CHINESE TRADITIONAL FAMILY ETHIC, “ELDERS MOURNING THE DEATH OF THEIR CHILDREN” BRINGS GREAT SORROW TO THE LIVING PARENTS. HOWEVER, THE LEAD CHARACTER OF THE MOVIE MRS. WONG (GOLDEN FLOWER) EXPRESSED TO THE INTERVIEWER: “TO US, HAVE THE LIVING PARENTS TO BURY ONE’S OWN CHILDREN IS OUR BLESSINGS.” HER STATEMENT SHARES FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS OF THOUSANDS OF AGING PARENTS WHO PROVIDE LONG TERM CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND SPECIAL NEEDS.
在中國社會家庭倫理中，“白頭人送黑頭人”是極大的悲哀。但是這部電影的女主角黃金花對訪問她的記者這樣說: “白頭人送黑頭人，對於我們來說，是我們的幸福” 。這道盡了多少年事漸高、長期照顧自閉及特殊需要子女的父母的心聲。
FOR 20 YEARS, GOLDEN FLOWER HAVE TAKEN CARE OF HER AUTISTIC SON WITH MODERATE LEVEL OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. HER HUSBAND COULD NOT STAND THE DISTRESSFUL LIFE AND DEVELOP AN EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR. THEN, HE LEFT HIS WIFE AND SON BEHIND. HIS GIRL CAME OVER TO GOLDEN FLOWER AND INTENDED TO START A BATTLE. THE MOTHER WITH THE AUTISTIC SON SAID: “I DON’T MIND YOU TOOK AWAY MY HUSBAND. I CARE YOU HAVE STOLEN THE FATHER OF MY SON.”
黃金花照顧中度智障及自閉症兒子20年，兒子經常表現出令人無法理解或難以控制的行為。辛苦的生活令丈夫忍受不住去找小三， 之後更離家出走，當丈夫的女朋友上門找碴的時候，那自閉兒媽媽說: “我不是介意你搶走了我老公，我是介意你搶走我兒子的父親”。
GOLDEN FLOWER AS WELL AS OTHER PARENTS SHARING THE SAME EXPERIENCE, THEY NEED UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTANCE, CARING AND RESPECT RATHER THAN PITY. THEY WANT TO ENJOY DAILY LIFE LIKE ORDINARY PEOPLE. TO GOLDEN FLOWER AND ALL PARENTS WITH SPECIAL NEED CHILDREN: “NOTHING IS IMPORTANT MORE THAN I CAN BE WITH MY SON.”
黃金花和許多相同經歷的父母一樣，相比別人的同情，更需要的是體諒、接納、關愛和尊重，跟普通人一樣開心的享受每一天的生活。因為對黃金花和所有特殊需要家長來說: “什麼事都不重要，最重要的是我能和兒子在一起。”
