“Everyday she asks me to tell our son to return. Even I would like him to come back and stay with us, but he is a grown man and we cannot rule his life. It’s hard for us two old people to live by ourselves, constantly missing our son. And it’s not only us. This village has become a village of the women, elderly and the kids. The men have left. A few remaining are leaving soon.”
