“I..only chose to have a child instead of marriage. And foolishly, I still don’t believe my decision caused any disturbance to society, nor did it inflict harm to my child’s future. Even at this moment in court, I don’t believe I made the wrong choice. I only followed my instincts as a woman who wanted a child of her own. And the constitution ensures that every citizen has a right to be happy. The belief that an ideal family consists of a father and a mother, and that a single parent home is considered abnormal, I don’t believe in that. What children need the most is love. And I love my child more than my own life.”

“If you live in this world, there will be days when you will meet thunder and lighting. When those days come, think of this moment. That we have a family we can share warmth with, like this. Dad also faced scary days. Because, just like you, my parents left me early. So, I was very scared. I missed people who could hug me. But then I realised I can get the same warmth from people who can hug me, and those whom I can hug. That is why I embraced all of you. So, don't be afraid of rain and wind. After a storm, comes a calm. After a wind, the tree gets stronger. You have each other, your siblings, and you are stronger than anybody in the world.”
