The oldest resident of Strugeni village, a story of smile and tears at the same time. She is over 90, and told me that her sons are dead, and her grand-children are living abroad making her feel very lonely in this village that once has been flourished. People used to live well on agriculture, nowadays the youth tries to leave the village as soon as possible to find jobs in larger cities. This inevitably leads to the village growing older and older, one day maybe it will be empty. Her face and her story still haunts me a bit as the smile is mixed with the tears in her eyes.
