"悟" by 康康

Japanese master of comedy, Takeshi Kitano, earned a lot of money when he was very young
He believed his mother was shaking money out of him
Every day incessantly holding out her hand, demanding money
His mother wanted money, wanted money, wanted money

One day, Takeshi Kitano's brother phoned him, said his mother was sick and hoped Takeshi Kitano
Could return home
Even though he has a little bit of hate for his mother, in the end she is his mother
So he decided, and hurries homeward in the night

By the time Takeshi Kitano returns home his mother had already left this world, he feels
Considerable regret
Didn't even see his own mother for a final time
His brother handed him a letter, his mother wrote it on her deathbed to give him
He opens the letter, and sees inside........a bank book.
