When the song opens, the narrator tells us that his mother tried to commit suicide several times, but she finally got so crazy that she couldn't bear it any longer. The only reason she didn't try to kill herself was because she doesn't want her daughter to marry Mr. Haifeng. She's afraid that if she ever tries to force her daughter into anything against her will, she'll never be able to love her again. The song ends with the narrator telling us that the alley where he and his mother lived when they were kids is the same alley where the costume designer who disowned her daughter is now living. He's so tired that he's going to go back to his mom and ask her why she's disliking her daughter.
