Gap of Light: Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots

Introduction When ninety-seven-year-old Lin Wangshan tried to pull out his oxygen tube in the middle of the night, his trembling hands tore open not only a storm of family ethics, but also a life-and-death riddle that asked hundreds of millions of people: The final dignity of life, is to "live" with all medical means, or to follow one's heart and "return to one's roots"? The eldest daughter Lin Jingyin read in her father's eyes the silent longing that was kidnapped by filial piety and medical machines - to go home and die peacefully on her old bed.
