Forget Not the Beginning Heart
不忘初心A film about my mother's journey founding Zigen in America in 1988 — and the rural communities in China, focused on women and children, that she devoted her life to serving for over three decades.
She turns 88 this year. 八十八 — double abundance, double blessing. The most auspicious of years to finally share her story with the world.
"Every elder, a galaxy." My mother has been quietly mapping hers for 88 years. This film is the first time it gets told out loud.
