Paragraph 2:
The main characters are two brothers: Thieu, a 12-year-old boy, and his little brother, Tuong, a
7-year-old boy. The plot revolves around their memories and poor childhood. The brothers do
everything together, from playing in rice paddies to enjoying various games. Their days are filled with
curious adventures. One day, Thieu’s classmate, Man, comes to stay at their house for a while because
her house is on fire. Out of jealousy, Thieu physically harms Tuong, making him unable to stand up. To
meet his classmate Nhi, Tuong tries to walk again. One day, he runs to find Nhi.
