Monthong durian is a pure Thai variety. In 1991, there was a man below who took a train to Thailand to bring back the first 10 seedlings, which were planted in Ben Tre. Now these 10 trees are still there, huge. Later, the new Donatechno company created the Dona durian variety and is grown as popular as it is now.

Conclude
Hung thinks something pure is beautiful and definitely delicious. However, it seems that commercialization is gradually making pure things increasingly rare and exhausted. Crossbreeding is a good practice, but keeping what is pure is the right thing to do.
As the verse:
If anyone does not remember homeland
won’t grow up to be a human.
