In this short scene, we learn that in 1999, the Ming family was not allowed to stay in the hospital for long visiting hours. They were forced to return home, where they were met by their son, who is now living with his aunt and uncle. He tells his aunt that the incident of the previous day was too sudden for her to bear, and she wishes her son a happy birthday. He asks his aunt if she has had dinner, and her reply is that she has. She tells him that he is her son, and that she cannot thank him enough for giving him such a good life. She says that she could not have given him a better life, because she has already given him the best. She asks him if he thinks he is imprudent, and he replies that he has already told her that she is a grown-up and that he cannot get lost. He says that his family has been the greatest gift he has ever received.
