To live happily, sometimes you need... illusions!

(Baonghean) - Hey, have you seen that wood-paneled supercar of some guy in Thai Hoa town, Nghia Dan district? It's one of a kind; "world medical literature" has never recorded a second case like it!

- That's really cool! Side panels and handlebars are already weird, but he even covered the engine block and… the helmet! Thai Hoa is such a funny guy!

- It's just for show, but I heard it's not allowed on public roads. If it were, people would just stare and might crash into each other, which would be as harmful as girls wearing short skirts.

- Well, the world is already unstable enough; even a playful disruption requires careful consideration! Last week, two plane crashes occurred in quick succession, first in Egypt and then in Sudan, killing hundreds of people. That's terrible, isn't it?

- Nothing is more heartbreaking than the case of the four-person family who committed suicide in Thanh Hoa, all because of 10 billion VND. It might sound harsh, but I'm incredibly angry at that husband. Who would ever drag their entire family down with them just because of debt? He should bear the consequences of his own actions. As a man, he shouldn't force his loved ones to suffer in such an unconventional way. They say "money can be replaced, but people can't," but "people can be replaced, but money can't"—there's truly no price to pay for this…

- I know it's heartbreaking to see this happen, but maybe this is the only way to create enough of a stir to get the police and authorities involved, sir! One death might not be enough. Because I heard there's a masked killer, someone with a reputation, who indirectly pushed this family to the brink of bankruptcy…

- What kind of connections are they? It seems like they're just some kind of project broker. That construction contractor was too trusting and ended up falling into their trap. I heard the police have summoned them. Hopefully, everything will be resolved soon, and they'll be held accountable.

- When offered comfort, they say, "When the king dies, the lord also perishes." Sadly, "the damage is already done," and the victims are gone, unable to witness justice being served. The sadness isn't just for the four untimely deaths, but also for having to live in a country where almost everything requires bribery, from getting children into school to securing projects. That's why those project brokers can run rampant like this!

- If we put that team together now, we might be able to form an entire district, wouldn't you agree?

- Ah, if you want accurate figures, please work with the statistics department! Guaranteed to be "accurate in the physical sense, but flawed in the spiritual sense"! That's why we had to explain ourselves so thoroughly in the National Assembly recently. The reasons for the discrepancies are countless. From the obsession with achieving targets to the rampant corruption… “For example, regarding the number of houses, many of us sitting here probably haven't declared them all, let alone the general public” – I'm not saying this, but the Minister.

- People like us, who live in the "bushes and weeds," should only trust statistics at the small, individual level, sir! For example, the collection of beautiful women owned by that guy Cuong Do La Do Le might actually be the most accurate figure ever...

- Then it should be called "all-time... foolish"! Getting involved with beautiful women in such a systematic way is definitely "foolish"! Who knows, one day, without supercars and diamonds, all her possessions might just fly away like birds!

- It's similar to the story of "The Legend of Tich Chu," isn't it? That "thirst" seems to be quite harmful!

- Oh, speaking of birds, that reminds me, the other day...

- Sir, we're in a crowded place, could you please keep your voice down?

- You must be out of your mind! We're having a serious conversation here. There's a saying, "Birds have nests, people have ancestry," no wonder those "big shots" are so keen to "return to their roots," you know...

- I thought it was something special, but it's nothing unusual! Every high-ranking official likes to return home in glory to honor their ancestors and bring honor to their family.

- But the problem is, this guy is a huge figure, sir: the Secretary-General of the United Nations, no joke! And surprisingly, I heard he has roots in Vietnam, which is why he recently made a second trip back to Vietnam and discreetly traced his ancestry! And, to my honor, the Phan Huy family isn't actually from Quoc Oai, Hanoi, but from "my dear Ha Tinh"! See, as the old saying goes, "Thanh Hoa relies on power, Nghe An relies on divine intervention," and they're absolutely right!

- Ugh, he's falling for the "seeing someone important and claiming kinship" syndrome again! If that were true, then Ban Ki-Moon might have already visited... Phan Boi Chau High School in our province! Even the clan leader of the Phan Huy family in Ha Tinh has confirmed that Moon's name isn't in the family's genealogy.

- I heard that the word "Moon" in English means "moon," so maybe her real name would be... "Sailor Moon," hehe!

- Well, then he might end up being from the "Water Margin" family, and thus of Chinese origin! Sometimes, it's better to leave things ambiguous, sir! To live happily, sometimes you need some illusions!
