Gao Chao had the best intentions, but inadvertently he hit a sore spot for Wang Yu.
Well aware of the risk of possibly meeting his end, yet still going to avenge a deceased brother, taking on risks that would leave his mother and girlfriend devastated; or staying with his mother and girlfriend, bearing the stigma of ingratitude and disloyalty. Faced with these two choices, how should one decide?
This choice was difficult because no matter which was picked, it seemed both right and wrong.
However, most people would opt for the latter. They assert there's no sense in saddening the living for someone who's already dead. They glorify this reasoning as cherishing life, mocking those who choose the former as idiots.
These folks seemed to make sense, but stripped to the bare essentials, they were just afraid of dying!
