Twenty-five years later, I crossed the world to find my way back home. Five-year-old Saroo lived in a poor village in India, in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings... until the day he boarded a train alone and got lost. For twenty-five years. This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those twenty-five years. How he ended up on the streets of Calcutta. And survived. How he then ended up in Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie. And how, at thirty years old, with some dogged determination, a heap of good luck and the power of Google Earth, he found his way back home. Lion is a triumphant true story of survival against all odds and a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures. 萨罗·布莱尔利，1981年出生于印度，演员。主要作品《雄狮》等。 Saroo Brierley is an India-born Australian businessman. He grew up with an adopted family in Tasmania, Australia.  I had a map of India on my bedroom wall when I was growing up in Hobart. Mum — my new mother — had put it there to help me feel at home. But when I arrived in Tasmania, I didn’t even know what a map was, let alone the shape of India. I had never been to school, I couldn’t read or write or speak English. It was 1987, and they told me I was six years old. I didn’t know for certain how old I was. On my official documents my birthday was 22 May 1981, but that was a guess by the Indian authorities, based on the day I had arrived at the orphanage, an ignorant, confused, lost liffle boy; they had guessed my age and my birth year, which I have never changed. I hadn’t been able to explain much about who I was or where I’d come from. The first time I ever heard the name Calcutta was when my new mum and dad pointed to it on my map and told me that’s where I came from. But they were wrong. I didn’t come from Calcutta, but from somewhere much further away, and the story of how I got there was incredible. At first, Mum and Dad didn’t know how I’d become lost. All they knew — all anyone knew — was that I’d been picked off the streets of Calcutta and after attempts to find my family had failed I had been taken to the orphanage and then put up for adoption. Happily for all of us, I was adopted by the Brierleys. Mum had decorated the house with Indian ornaments — Hindu statues, brass ornaments and bells, and lots of little elephant figurines. She had spread some Indian printed fabric across the dresser in my room, and placed a carved wooden puppet in a brightly coloured outfit nearby. All these things were sort of familiar, even if I hadn’t seen anything exactly like them before. I had no idea that they were unusual objects to have in an Australian house. At first, Mum didn’t concentrate on teaching me English. It was far more important to comfort and care for me, and gain my trust, and you don’t need words for that. She knew an Indian couple in the neighbourhood, Saleen and Jacob, and we would visit them regularly to eat Indian food together. They spoke with me in my own language, Hindi, asking simple questions and translating instructions and anything Mum and Dad wanted me to know about how we’d live our life together. Corning from a very simple background, I didn’t speak much Hindi either, but being able to understand and be understood helped me settle in to my new home and family. If my new parents weren’t able to communicate through gestures and smiles, Saleen and Jacob were always there to help. Mum and Dad were very affectionate, right from the start, always giving me lots of cuddles and helping me to feel safe, secure, loved and, above all, wanted. That meant a lot to a child who’d been lost and had experienced what it was like when no one cared about him. Very soon I trusted them completely, and a strong bond grew between us. Even at the age of six, I understood that I had been given a rare second chance. I quickly became Saroo Brierley.
