Not about Vietman nor Afghanistan, but ironically about Yang Sang (Cantonese for "caring for mankind") traditional Chinese medicine shops of the warring Eu family. Prescribed such medicine when she felt body pains while in Singapore for a lecture, Inquirer columnist and Ateneo's Family Business Development Center board member Queena Lee-Chua traced the beginnings of the Eu family business in tin mining. When workers turned to opium for pain relief, Eu Kong offered them herbs instead.
Now, the only existing business of the Eu family that survived their intramurals is that of medicine.
Mediation sees a lot of these families. Sounds familiar, indeed!
