In this scene, Cai Ming and his family are in the orphanage, where Cai Ming's sister, Cai Ling, is dying of leukemia. Cai Ming tells his family that he will no longer be able to take care of them. He tells them that Cai Ling is going to Heaven, where she will achieve her dream of becoming a famous singer. He says that he can no longer care for them, and that he needs to go see his wife and son. He asks Cai Ming to be strong, and never lose hope in his life, and he says that they should not let anyone feel pity for them. They must live onward, he says, and not disappoint their hopes. He scolds Cai Ming for not eating for two days and threatens to force him to go on the plane if he does not eat.
