Hai's mother thought that Dang was not good and bothered his son,so she banned Dang from seeing Hai. When Hai died, Hai's mother accidentallyfound a picture of her son lying under the pillow, thanking Dang. Hai's motherregretted realising that she misunderstood Dang, having interrupted her son'slast aspirations in the middle.
