In the vast land of China, there are many folk tales that have been passed down through the ages, among which there is a story called "Mourning the Bones", which tells the tragic experience of people who were emaciated to the point of being reduced to bones in extreme grief. These stories reflect the helplessness and dedication to life and death and fate of ancient people. Once upon a time, there was a small mountain village where a young man named Cuong lived. Ah Qiang is tall and powerful, and he has a lot of strength, and he is the pillar of the village. He and his wife Ah Hua live a loving life, although the life is hard, but the two love each other and live happily. However, happy days are always short-lived. One winter, the village was hit by a rare heavy snowfall, the crops were frozen to death, and the life of the people in the village was in dire straits.
In order to make ends meet, Cuong decided to go to the city to work. When parting, Ah Hua hugged Ah Qiang tightly and burst into tears. Cuong comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely earn money so that we can live a good life." Ah Hua wiped away her tears and nodded. Cuong carried his bags and embarked on a long journey.
However, fate was extremely unfair to Cuong. In the city, he couldn't find a job and had to beg on the streets to get by. Every day, he endures hunger and cold, missing his wife from afar. Finally, one day, Cuong fell ill. He struggled in the hospital bed, thinking about Ah Hua, but he didn't have the ability to go back to see her. Just as Cuong was dying, a stranger appeared in front of him.
The stranger's name was Amin, and he was a wealthy businessman. He saw Cuong's tragic plight and felt pity. So, he decided to help Cuong. Ah Ming called in a doctor to treat Ah Keong. Under Ah Ming's careful care, Cuong's condition gradually improved. However, at this moment, Amin suddenly fell ill. His family found the best doctors in the world, but they couldn't get his illness ailed. In the end, Amin died in agony.
When Cuong heard the news, he was devastated. He remembered Amin's kindness to him, and his heart was full of guilt. He decides to fulfill his last wish for Amin and help his family through this difficult time. Cuong travels around and finally finds Amin's family. He gave them all his savings and helped them get through it. However, all these efforts could not compensate for the pain in Cuong's heart. His body deteriorated, and at last he was so thin that he was only skinny and bone-covered.
Cuong returned to the mountain village and met Ah Hua after a long absence. When she saw Cuong's appearance, she was so distressed that she couldn't speak. She hugged Cuong tightly and burst into tears. However, life has come to an end. At the moment before he died, he held Ah Hua's hand tightly and told her, "I have lived up to your expectations, nor have I lived up to Ah Ming's kindness. I hope you can live a good life. With that, Cuong closed his eyes forever.
This tragic story spread throughout the village, and people were touched by Cuong's loyalty and bravery. They call it a story of "mourning and destroying bones", which has been passed down from generation to generation, warning future generations to cherish life and cherish the happiness in front of them.
