One Bite of Noodles—and the CEO Dropped Everything to Find the Mother He Lost 15 Years Ago

Transcript

00:00The CEO took just one bite of the noodles his assistant brought him and immediately noticed

00:04something different in the taste because that kind of light soup was something only his mother knew

00:09how to make. He hurriedly asked the assistant where she had bought them. Upon hearing her answer,

00:13he rushed downstairs to look at the food stall, but it was already gone. Not giving up, he asked

00:18his assistant to describe the woman. She thought for a moment and said the woman had a slight limp

00:22in her left leg. That's when the CEO confirmed that the noodle vendor was his mother. 15 years

00:27earlier, his mother had worked eight jobs a day while raising two sons and buying heart medicine

00:32for the CEO. As a thoughtful child, he would take care of his younger brother at home. That day was

00:36his brother's birthday, and the CEO wanted to collect bottles to buy him a cake, but he only managed

00:41enough money for an empty plate. His brother collapsed to the ground, crying in disappointment.

00:46The CEO, knowing his brother only had one birthday a year, decided to use the money meant for his

00:51medicine to buy the cake. When they returned home, the younger brother was eager to eat, but the CEO

00:56thought of his mother, who had worked all day and wanted to let her take the first bite. She said

01:00she didn't like sweets, but the CEO secretly saw her licking frosting off her finger. Then he

01:06understood that it wasn't that she didn't like it. She just wanted to save it for them and had skipped

01:10her medicine. That very day, the CEO fainted. Fortunately, his mother rushed him to the hospital,

01:15where the doctor told her his condition had worsened from skipping medication and that he needed urgent

01:19surgery costing $500,000. His mother cried quietly, but immediately said she would sell her blood

01:26if necessary to save him. The CEO saw all of this and decided not to be a burden anymore.

01:31When his mother went out to buy food, he left a letter and ran away without saying a word.

01:35When she returned, he was gone. The doctor handed her the letter, and reading it felt like her heart

01:40had been shattered. She ran out, desperately searching for him, while he wandered the streets

01:45with only one wish, that his mother and brother could live well without him. At that moment,

01:50a luxury car hit him, but the driver didn't flee and instead took him to the hospital.

01:5415 years passed. His mother supported her younger son by selling food, but the brother only dreamed

02:00of marrying a wealthy woman to pay for his dowry. He tricked his illiterate mother into signing away

02:06all her savings to mortgage everything she had. Meanwhile, her eldest son had become the CEO of a

02:12major business group, but he lived with sorrow, unable to find his mother, until one day, a bite of

02:17noodles brought back the taste of his childhood. However, the younger brother was ashamed that their mother

02:22sold food on the street and asked her to leave. Because of that, the CEO lost the chance to reunite

02:27with her. He went mad searching, even offering half his fortune as a reward. Meanwhile, the younger

02:33brother stole the money their mother had saved to help the older son and lied, saying he was away on a

02:37business trip. But one day, while the mother was working at a restaurant, a scene she witnessed left her

02:42completely in shock.
