Siew's heart filled with hope as she was promised help to
get medical treatment for her father. The cost was far beyond what a
ten-year-old like her could ever earn. Her father lay sick, with an
infection slowly spreading in his body, and Siew was determined to do
everything she could to save him. She received a package and was asked to
deliver it to a restaurant in exchange for promised help. She completed her
task with excitement and pride, but her hopes were shattered when the lady
who promised to help did not show up.
Siew's life was far from easy. She and her father lived in a shelter,
surviving on the meager earnings from collecting cardboard pieces to sell to
a rag-and-bone man. They had never begged, and Siew's father instilled in
her the values of hard work and dignity. Siew loved her father dearly and
wanted to help him in any way she could. When the opportunity to get help
for her father came, she was overjoyed.
The lady who promised to help was part of a revolution, and Siew was unaware
of the true nature of the package she was asked to deliver. The lady saw
Siew as a mere pawn in the bigger scheme of things and had no intention of
keeping her promise. Siew's innocence and trust were taken advantage of in
the name of revolution, and her hopes and dreams were shattered.
Siew's story is not uncommon. Throughout history, people have been exploited
in the name of various causes. The promise of a better future or a better
world has been used to manipulate and deceive the vulnerable. The sad truth
is that the most vulnerable in society are often the most susceptible to
exploitation. Siew's story is a reminder that we must be vigilant and
cautious in our pursuit of change. We must ensure that the pursuit of a
better future does not come at the cost of exploiting the most vulnerable in
society.
In conclusion, Siew's story is a poignant reminder of the exploitation that
often takes place in the name of revolution. Her innocence and trust were
taken advantage of, and her hopes and dreams were shattered. It is important
that we remain vigilant in our pursuit of change and ensure that the most
vulnerable in society are not exploited. The pursuit of a better future must
never come at the cost of the exploitation of the most vulnerable. |
