New Year's phone ringing reminder: Don't forget the warmth and responsibility of home
On the festive day of Chinese New Year's Day, the lawyer received an unexpected phone consultation regarding Canadian immigration, signature forgery, and issuing forged invitation letters - a serious matter that may be related to immigration fraud and criminal fraud. This conversation is not only a process of legal consultation, but also deeply touches upon the core issues of immigrant families.
The lawyer answered the phone and began his inquiry:
Who are you talking about? What does this have to do with you? "The lawyer tried to grasp the key to the situation.
Parents! "The caller's answer was simple and direct.
The lawyer continued to ask, "May I ask whose parents? Your parents? Or your spouse's
It's my parents, my own parents. "The answer didn't seem to make the situation clearer.
The lawyer couldn't help but confirm again: 'Are the parents you mentioned your own parents? Are you... biological?' This question may seem redundant, but it becomes necessary in this context.
The lawyer was surprised to learn that it was indeed the caller's biological parents. I thought it would be a simple consultation, but I didn't expect it to involve complex emotions and legal disputes within the family. The lawyer tried to further understand the motive behind it, "Your parents are from a long distance, during the Chinese New Year. If you were an only child and not in Canada, why would they come at their age
The caller's answer revealed more: "That's not necessarily true, Canada has such good welfare
This conversation not only reflects the communication barriers between individual family members, but also reflects the broader social and legal issues faced by immigrant families. For many immigrant families, the New Year is supposed to be a time of reunion and celebration, but in reality, they may be separated for various reasons, even involving legal disputes.
This conversation reminds us that as immigrant families, we not only have to face the challenges of being in a foreign land, but also the responsibilities and obligations within the family. While pursuing material welfare, we should not overlook the emotional bonds within families and the intergenerational responsibility inheritance.
On the occasion of the New Year, this conversation serves as a warning bell, reminding everyone: in this ever-changing world, let us not forget our original aspirations, uphold the warmth and responsibility of our families, and face every challenge in life together.
