Palmachok is a respected senior member of the journalist community.But prior to our interview,I had had very little contact with her.In my eyes,she was a self-effacing elderly lady.But when I heard her life story,especially the parts where she downplayed,I was deeply moved.She is anything but ordinary.Between comfort and challenge,she chose the latter without any reservation.Her life story is one of keeping oneself motivated and inspired.Such a person deserves our utmost respect.
