At the bottom of a well vegetated valley in China, there lived the Chin family: Mark was the abusive father, Chiewi was the depressed, alcoholic mother, and the two neglected daughters were named Xianraia and Sichui.

Continually they traveled and searched for food, but still none was found, and by now they were famished. It was at nightfall that the family came across the aroma of something they had been missing for hours: Food.
At the break of dawn, the pandas were overwhelmed with exhaustion, so they decided to rest in a small cave. The cave was dark and muggy. Water trickled from the top of the cave and created an echoing noise throughout. The cavern was located beneath a sma
