"Flight risk" and "No sharps" are a real and terrifying combination when it comes to the elderly and mentally distraught. Especially in China where we have a culture of caring for our parents in their old age, to end up in a home is usually a sign of significant instability...I'm not saying her sudden appearance here wasn't a little contrived but her character isn't unrealistic whatsoever sadlyThis completely unrealistic mother character gets used as a deus ex machina again, awesome.

Killing one child, attempting to kill the other, being locked in a basement instead of an institution, only to appear every time the plot is stuck is what's unrealistic.

Like how Lin Ling run into 20 robbers in her life.Spend forty five minutes in any elder care facility, then please edit this comment with what you've learned lol.
