Baya
3 hr 57 min
Baya in the Zhuang language means grandmother At the end of 2012 I attended a charity lecture in Beijing about leftbehind children where I heard the story of Baya and the grandchildren she raised In early 2013 I arrived at the village of Debie set in a mountain pass where Baya lived I stayed at Bayas house At that time I was going through the breakdown of an intimate relationship and found myself at a personal low point in middle age I was curious about how Baya had survived so many hardships and continued to provide shade shelter and warmth like a big tree for her grandchildren and the lives around her During the year and eight months I spent with Baya I unknowingly underwent a transformation Not only did my body become stronger but my inner self also became more open and free Through Baya I came to understand the resilience and strength of the human spirit which remains unaltered by any amount of suffering a testament to the noble dignity of human nature
