This is a very important issue to talk about. I had a life-changing experience 
recently when a very intimate friend of mine died. I understood the 
preciousness of life and overall the value of relationships among the people. 
Chan Mow and I are close friends since our early childhood and were studying 
in the same educational institution in Vietnam. Our bonding was stronger and 
we were like brothers. Besides, our families were also in good terms with each 
other. But everything became gloomy with the death of Mow. He, 
unfortunately, died from a road accident and it was a great shock for all of us, 
especially for me. I was present at the accident spot.
Generally, Mow and I used to go to college by bicycle every day. We also had 
some other friends who had their bicycle and drove to the college. Sometimes, 
we used to go distant places for travel and refreshment, especially out of the 
city. We did the trips in the holidays and usually started in the early morning 
while returned in the evening. On the day of the accident, we were on such a 
trip. We planned to return early as one of our college friends had invited us to 
take part in a tea party in the evening. But everything turned pale with the 
accident.
Mow’s bicycle had some troubles that he did not notice before the journey. 
We wanted to go the outskirts of the city and thus had to cross the intercity 
highway. The highway was always busy with speedy vehicles. We started the 
journey as a group but since there was a rush of vehicles, we got split. The 
breaking mechanism of Mow’s bicycle was not working properly and he was 
unable to stop the bicycle immediately. As a result, he became a victim of the 
accident and a speedy car ran over him. We hurried to the spot and took him 
to the nearest hospital. But he left the earth before reaching the hospital. I felt 
a sense of shock that cannot be expressed in words. He was the closest friend 
of mine and his death traumatised me for next few days.
The incident changed my life in some specific aspects. Before losing my friend, 
I did not have the sense of deep friendship. But Mow’s death showed me how 
friendships are and how to deal with them. In fact, in our childhood, both of us 
had done many quarrels and got engaged in fights over petty matters and 
often got injured badly. But those events did not break the friendship rather 
made the bond stronger. We grew up together. I regret for the lost time. It will 
never be back again. Moreover, I would be unable to create such a friendship 
with someone else. It is impossible to make such a deep bonding that we

fostered since childhood. The death Mow taught me the value of life, it 
pointed out the meaning of relationship and importance of time as well.
