有个雨天，小伙子开车看到一对年迈的夫妻，共撑着一把伞，向某个目的地走去。尽管有伞，他们还是被雨淋得湿透。没过多久，他就认出他们是他前女友的父母。他对他们心存报复之心，便在夫妻俩身旁缓缓行驶，想让他们看到他坐在豪华轿车里，他想让他们知道，他和先前大不一样了，他有自己的公司，轿车和公寓，等等。他事业有成了。
Before the guy can realize, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and he got out of his car and followed them... and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone... and he saw his precious paper cranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.
还没等小伙子反应过来，夫妻俩朝墓地走去了。他下了车，尾随着他们……他看到了他的前任女友，墓碑上有她的照片，她像以前一样冲着他甜甜的笑呢……墓碑旁放着一个瓶子，里面装着他珍爱的千纸鹤。
Her parents saw him. He walked over and asked them why this had happened.
她父母看到了他。他走过去，问他们这一切是怎么回事?
They explained. She did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart, she had believed that he would make it someday, but she did not want her illness to be his obstacle. . .
他们解释道，她根本没去法国，她得了癌症。在她心中，她坚信他总有一天会事业有成的，可是，她不想让她的病成为他的累赘……
Therefore she had chosen to leave him.
所以，她选择离开他。
She asked her parents to leave his paper cranes by her side, if one day the destiny brings him here, he could take some back home.
她让父母把他的千纸鹤放在她的身旁，如果有一天命运指引他再来看她的时候，他可以带一些纸鹤回去。
The guy just wept. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them but knowing you can't have them and will never see them again.
小伙子泪如雨下……最痛苦的事情莫过于你就坐在他们身旁，可你知道你再也无法拥有他们，再也不能相见了。
