Goddess of Mercy appears on film

From Suara Karya

One day we went to Sanur Beach in Bali as tourists. The
atmosphere was cheerful, particularly because it was a holiday.
We took photos using a 36-frame film. Unfortunately, after it was
being developed at a Tulungagung photo studio, the result was
total darkness, in other words, all the shots were dramatically
overexposed. But after close observation, it was found one frame
was successfully developed. The successful negative was printed
by my friend. Believe it or not, the photo shows a beautiful
Chinese girl riding on a dragon in the waters of Sanur Beach. My
ethnic Chinese friend said the mysterious photo was that of the
Goddess of Mercy in Chinese mythology. She is believed to be one
of the goddesses of compassion.

I hope that in the wake of this phenomenon, we will no longer
practice racial, ethnic and religious discrimination. As human
beings let us reciprocally sow the feeling of compassion so that
our beloved Indonesia can become a safe, peaceful and prosperous
place to live in.
