I don't usually like watching Cantonese drama show because it's long winding and slow. Nevertheless, lately there is this series on pay TV about the life of this young barber. He's sort of a celebrity barber and has everything going on for him. To cut things short and straight to the point, he has a wonderful family, a normal typical family just like mine and there's relationship swing from up and down and etc. Your normal soap opera. However, what interest me the most is on the family unit and how the father response and change when the mother pass away due to an accident.

The family was left heart broken and to fend for themselves. As I was watching and as the stories unfold, it was very heart wrenching. The wife left behind the husband and her 2 grown up sons. Typical of any asian family culture, the father has no one to hang on to anymore. Previously the mother was the jewel in the house. Everything was done by the mother and everybody just took everything for granted. To make matter worse the kids are not too close with the father cause in asian culture men are not supposed to be friendly and get too close with the kids. Men are the bread winner while women are the home maker.

I was like delving deep into this character and understood his anguish. That feeling of loss and the importance of the dearest one you love. Its earth shattering and very real and emotional. To make matter worst, the father couldn't get over the death of his beloved wife and henceforth went into dementia and all kinds of illusion. The kids and the family unit started to break off and therefore the father was totally stress out and on the verge of collapse.

Nevertheless, as time passes by 2 friends came over to help out the family and try to make the sons realised the actual situation their dad was in. Finally the kids couldn't denied the problem at hand anymore and henceforth had to put family matter first before everything else.

To be honest, in a typical asian family, its good to have a balances of sexes too. Likewise in the workplace as well cause women are more caring, detail and above all patience. All virtue that men don't exactly possessed. I actually seen this myself with my current neighbour. There seem to be something missing with guys, man with man. We just can't pour our heart out with another guy and neither can we show any emotion. We need woman to balance up the emotional deficit and make up what we man lack.

I just hope that the best will turn out of it cause tonight is the final episodes. Actually if we all can get old together and died together, life would be wonderful and serene. Nevertheless, we all know that it's not possible. I can't imagine myself living alone in this world with no family, children and especially my beloved wife. I rather died first than to see my love ones leave me.
