Context: So I just remember this after digging through memories.

So my mother was watching/reading some weird social media thing and there was this this question was asked to guys in China, and it’s supposed to be a dilemma because if you say save your mother, your girlfriend will break up with you, if you say save your girlfriend, your mom’s gonna disown you (cuz filial piety).

And so anyways, I think I was like 15 or something, and my mom asked me the question… I kinda froze because idk what to say… it was such a weird question. Then mom was like: “Of course you have to save me first, I raised you, remember? You only have one mother in this world.” … Something something… “People with blood relations to you comes first”.

Now reflecting on that memory, that was so awkward…

Ever been asked this question?

How would you answer if your mom asked that?

    The only right answer is that I would save both of them by drowning myself, having them use my corpse as a emergency floatation device. 2 weeks after the occurrence, they would begin smelling brackish water no matter where they are, followed by brief glances of what appears to be a disgruntled boyfriend/son in the corner of the room as I begin to haunt them for asking me such a stupid question.
