love and faith

I thought it was going to tell the story of a very ordinary mother looking for her son, but the whole thing is very interesting. A journalist who does not believe in religion, a conflicted mother who was forced to become a nun and was taken away by the nuns, their different views on affairs Continue to collide on this journey to find children. It's not the kind of dispute between two living habits, but more of a focus on people's beliefs.
On the surface, the reporters were constantly colliding with the old lady. In fact, it was more about the constant struggle between the old lady's own mother's love and her religious beliefs.
The old lady's love for her son made her choose to understand and accept that her son was gay, and forgive the nuns for selling their children to the United States because she thought it was for the good of her son.
The old lady's firm religious beliefs made him feel the sin of giving birth out of wedlock for many years, so she chose silence, but silence and hiding her secret made her feel that it was also a sin (she even heard her son's colleague say I feel sorry for my son when his sexual orientation is, I feel that it is too pitiful for my son to hide his sexual orientation so hard), the old lady actually doubted her beliefs, but in the end she chose beliefs and forgave the nun who had been deceiving her; no longer hide these things Let the reporter publish the book and let more people know about it.
Forgiveness, openness, it is the old lady who gets the answer in her faith, and it also balances the old lady's maternal love and faith, and allows the old lady to get spiritual relief in the end.
