Lý's painful tears on the epiphyllum plant.
It is said that the epiphyllum flower can only grow if it senses a pre-destined affinity between two persons, that they belong together. Madam Hai had grown this plant for over 15 years but the flowers never appeared, until Lý brought it to Tư Nhớ's hut. However, he coldly picked the flower.
In this scene, Lý painfully asked Tư Nhớ to give her back the epiphyllum flower, a symbol of her pure love for him, for over 15 years but never had a response.
