people. Also, he never forgets that his family will be painful,
screaming and sobbing after they heard his news on the
battlefield. Cause he saw so many painful suffering of the
families, that the white turbans on their kid's heads. They cry
loudly, called their father waking up. All their father full blood

suffering, and painful that show up their images before they left

"Why you died...? I told you...! I already told you...! Why
you left me alone? I hit you...! I never love you anymore...!"

"Anh-Tuyet... Anh-Tuyet..." Nguyen shrieked at the top of
his voice.
