看罷最新一集「星期二檔案 — 他獨留在家」*，十分感慨。
我認識不少朋友，爸媽是專業人士的他們從小便受到悉心培育，讀名校，受良好教育。父母一早已準備好「一條龍」服務安排他們升讀本地或英美的中小學名校，補習老師、各樣的興趣班，資源充足。之後在港大中大科大或英美名牌高等學院就讀，畢業後即可受聘於本地或外資大機構做trainee，之後無驚無險順利有幾皮人工，成功打下成為‘中產’的基礎。
不是說我的朋友不用努力，他們都十分勤力讀書，努力考取好成績。只是阿靜與他們一比，無論資源與機會，真的是曼聯與錫菲聯之比。
每個人一生出來的起步點便已不一樣，這沒有什麼公平不公平的。以前在香港，全球經濟起飛，戰後香港的工業化才剛開始，呂大樂筆下的「第二代香港人」只要肯努力，不論起點在那，都有機會向上游，之所謂梁錦松曾蔭權的「香港故事」。
現在的香港還有同樣的條件和空間嗎？一般住公屋、沒有專業人士父母悉心安排的香港低下階層的小朋友如阿靜，往社會更上層的路還是一樣闊嗎？

Absolutely! Two of the most successful people of my age that I know of happen to come from similar backgrounds as the little girl you wrote about. They had to deal with problems that normal children do not have to go through at an early age, yet they worked harder and learnt to treasure what they had much earlier than anyone else at the same time did. Despite the hardship they had gone through, I noticed that these two people shared something in common, something that has been very critical to their upbringing and later success, that is the unconditional love and support from their mothers.
There are times when we almost forget how love is so important to us, especially to children. Love, especially parental love, is something intangible, yet so powerful. One's success is highly dependent on how much emotional support one receives other than other more practical, yet superficial things that can feed one well and dress one pretty.
SO, there is hope out there, buddie! Lots of hope for the less 'fortunate' ones -- though I think the little girl, "Ah Ching" is one of the luckiest girls who has such a loving father.
correction: 'at the same time [THEY] did'.
please ignore my correction :)

I agree with you totally. Parental love is essential. Can you find the program online? You should watch it yourself, it is very touching.
