A story behind:
My father was an athlete who retired because he fractured his ligament in a soccer game. He was troubled by such injury for many years and eventually became a self-taught physiotherapist. When I first twisted my ankle and could not find medical help in pandemic, my father started sending me different kind of treatment for sports injuries. So far, they have healed me for many times. I coated my ID card with my father’s medicinal ointment, treating care and protection as forms of inherited domestic orientation.
