After leaving Guo Jingyao's ward, his wife and children were all waiting in the living room.
Having watched Guo Jingyao's condition for the past couple of days, he didn't have a strong impression of his family. Upon looking now, the Guos appeared to be a traditional Chinese family, dutiful wife and filial children, harmonious siblings, always wearing a mature and composed smile.
"Doctor Yang has traveled all the way from China, refusing to accept any of our humble gifts. It leaves us feeling guilty. When you visit Malaysia next, we insist on showing you our hospitality," Mrs. Guo said in a dignified and respectful manner. Clearly, she was the kind of woman who could steady a situation in times of crisis.
The rest of the children were refined; the sons were courteous, the daughters dignified. No wonder the Chinese in Southeast Asia were in better economic conditions. They maintained the excellent Chinese traditions of diligence, eagerness to learn and progress.
