From January 1, 1997, when her mother suffered a stroke, until January 2, 2004, when her mother died from peritonitis caused by kidney dialysis treatment, 30-something Pei-fen (not her real name), a recognized scriptwriter, gave up her job and cared for her mother for seven full years.
從母親民國 86 年元旦中風，到 93 年一月因洗腎引發腹膜炎逝世，三十多歲、編劇工作已受肯定的佩芬（化名），辭職在家照顧母親整整 7 個年頭。
