Gazing into the Distance

When you're young, the world is somewhere far away;

When you grow up, you realize that your hometown and family are the distant place you'll never return to.

Born in the 1970s, she too was once cherished and protected, dazzling in her youth and blessed with boundless glory.

Could one foolish mistake change the course of an entire life?

She struggled in the abyss and fought on through desperate circumstances. Though battered and bruised, she never accepted defeat.

Through half a lifetime of storms,

see how she breaks through against the wind,

and becomes her own shore, one that can never be swallowed by the waves.
