Part 363

                                    

                                          
In Shenzhen, Mama Zhang had lost her sight in both eyes.
Zhang Zhehan, who had been busy preparing for his events in Singapore, dropped everything and rushed to her side.
His worst fears had been confirmed. Mama Zhang's condition had detoriated because she had avoided going to see a doctor, preferring to rely on the home care and the advice of well-meaning friends. 
Zhang Zhehan was exasperated and furious; he was angry at her friends, but knew that they had no bad intentions.
He was angry at his mother for delaying treatment, allowing the illness had progressed to this stage.
And most of all, he was angry at himself for focusing on his career and neglecting his mother. 
If only she has listened to me.
If only I had gone to see her earlier. 
Life was filled with "if onlys". 
He knew that he could not afford to dwell on it now. He busied himself calling one hospital after the other, making appointments with many doctors and shuttling his mother from one appointment to the other.
Finally they decided on a course of treatment. Zhang Zhehan brought Mama Zhang go the hospital everyday, took her for walks and helped her with her rehabilitation.
After she went to bed, he started to rehearse his dance steps, albeit remotely, with his teacher and back-up dancers on video call. 
Finally he had to leave his mother's side for the trip to Singapore.
He had an event at a local station Yes 93.3FM, where he was one of the ten winners for Artiste Of The Year. His self-composed song <Magnificent Life> of crowned Hit of the Year.

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
Such affirmation would have been the cherry on the cake to top off a marvellous year. Unfortunately Zhang Zhehan was not able to savour the fruits of his success for long. He finished up his media interviews, meetings and fan event in four days and hightailed it back to Shenzhen.
It was regretful that he did not even get to enjoy the sights of the vibrant city-country which he had heard so much good things about. Even his own photoshoot was done on a grimey rooftop carpark in Chinatown.
