Chinese Son Arranges Farewell Violin Performance
A man named Huang Haile wanted to say goodbye to his mom, Ye Jindi, in a special way.
She was very sick and in the hospital.
Huang invited a violinist to play a song called 'Mother' for her.
The song is from a movie and was written by a Japanese composer.
Ye Jindi was a music teacher, so Huang thought she would like the music.
The performance happened in her hospital room, and many people watched the video online.
It made a lot of people feel happy and sad.
Ye Jindi passed away a week later, but Huang made sure she was comfortable.
He was very close to his mom and took care of her when she was sick.
Huang Haile invited a violinist to perform for his terminally ill mother, Ye Jindi, in her hospital bed.
The violinist played 'Mother' by Joe Hisaishi, a song from the 1999 film 'Kikujiro'.
Ye Jindi was diagnosed with late-stage liver cirrhosis and heart inflammation, making surgery impossible.
Huang was very close to his mother and took care of her full-time after her diagnosis.
Ye Jindi passed away a week after the performance, surrounded by her son's love and care.
