Among the three that were killed in the Boston Massacre was a Chinese student, Lu Lingzi. This has saddened the hearts of the parents, since the one child per family policy leaves them with no children after Lu's death. The father has stated that he once thought that America was a land of promise and let alone safety. After this incident, Parents wait to pick up their children at Yucai Northeast High School in Shenyang, China -- the school that Lu Lingzi, the Chinese victim of the Boston Marathon bombing attended. The parents stand next to billboards listing the names of top American schools where alumni won scholarships.
I feel for the parents. Losing their only child, and their only hope to carry on their legacy is devastating. I hope they find peace, and they can look at whatever positive side that this tragedy can bring about. I can't imagine to lose my only child.
