Happy birthday! Thank you.
Happy New Year! May all your dreams come true. Happy New Year!
Happy birthday! Work less and make more money. OK. Thank you.
Manager Yu.
You've been away from Chuning City for almost three or four years, right?
Almost four years.
Will you be nervous to come back
to your home town?
My foot hurts.
No.
It hurts.
Annoying.
Hello?
Yep.
Come on.
But I'm so happy
to come back here.
Views have changed, along with the people.
Then you should stay longer for enjoying it.
Yeah.
Although it's not that opened here,
it has its own charm, too.
What's more,
here is an inspiring place producing talents.
A few Number One Scholars originated from here.
Can will pass the examination and go back to Beijing.
My wife's entertainment club has reopened.
Entertainment Club
The business definitely will be booming.
Shut up.
Even my ancestors would be proud of me being a live-in son-in-law.
Yuwen Hai, screw you.
Ignite it.
Just go.
My discs! My discs!
Let me fix it.
Yuwen Hai, thank you.
What the heck?
Didn't Landlady quit drinking?
How could I know?
Therefore…
For such a place,
just continue to bear it.
After the college entrance examination,
life will be better.
What?
-You're smudging me. -Let me do it.
Let me do it.
We can make a turn as a tractor.
We can stage a comeback.
How did you drive?
Are you committing a suicide?
My dear, are you alright?
-You almost kill a human being! -Shut up!
I'm putting out the fire.
You come up to hit me.
I warn you.
This is the place of excellence.
Everyone rushes to come for college entrance examination.
Almost Love
I'm back.
Oh, you're back.
Oh, gosh!
What did you do?
Why is your face so dirty like a small cat?
Fought.
You've always acted wildly.
Granny.
Didn't I have said?
I'll bring back food next time.
Why did you go grocery shopping by yourself?
Didn't you sprain your back?
Bullshit.
I went nowhere.
Great.
If so,
the duck at the door unhaired itself.
It hanged itself up.
Can't it be done by others?
I picked it up on the way.
Why not just say it's sent by my parents?
Talk nonsense.
If they're going to send something here,
it should be somehting valuable.
A treasure in a house.
An old granny in a family.
By the way,
nobody came to the store the whole day.
I told you. Nobody cares who the shopkeeper is.
Everyone knows the truth.
In the water station,
that couple has divorced
but they still tended the station together.
What if someone comes and asks?
I'll cry.
Give a full play.
I can put on a play.
After all, I'm good at it for atavism.
Show me. Show me now.
I'm telling you,
when I was young,
I indeed was much prettier than you
Hello, Father.
I have told you. I'll tidy up myself.
Your father insisted in packaging himself.
Look. So messy!
-It's different from what we saw. -Yeah, I know.
Books for outside reading shall not be in the bedroom.
OK.
I know, Father.
What's wrong?
It scares the hell out of me.
-Hello. -Hello.
You just moved in?
Yeah, we've just moved in.
Just two of you?
Me and my son.
His father…
His father is in Beijing.
-He's been in Beijing. -In Beijing?
As soon as my son gets the acceptance of the university in Beijing,
Souvenir of 2004 Beijing Painting Competition
we could unite.
How is the academic score of your son?
About my son's performance,
my son's performance will vouch for that.
Coming here is
mainly to train him.
It's said by himself that,
every experience could be counted as a part of living.
It's not easy for a kid.
Whatever…Clear target.
Department of Business Administration at the Renmin University of China.
What an outstanding kid!
His aspiration.
We certainly root for him.
I sincerely hope Zhou Can could
integrate with the class soon
and climb up the peak of NCEE together with us.
There're more than 200 days left for the exam in next June.
We're right in the moment of striving.
Report.
Good morning, Sir
What's going on?
I met a pregnant woman on the way to school.
Come over. Come inside.
Come and explain what's wrong with your school uniform.
I…
I was splashed by a tractor yesterday.
Yu Jiaoyang.
How could you talk nonsense like that now?
Go out and stand in the corner.
What if she is telling the truth?
I'm reminding you,
don't trust her.
She is good at talking big.
She claimed to be late for the pregnant woman.
Even the uniform was soiled by the tractor.
She is good at finding excuses.
Her nickname is Ash-bin.
Exactly.
Nobody tends to be close to Ash-bin.
You live here?
Do you want discs?
Pardon?
I have
action films, love movies,
romcom…
Mom.
Auntie, how are you?
No need. Don't get your hands dirty.
Hello, hello.
Mom, what are you doing?
Didn't you quit drawing? They are useless now.
All things distracting you shall be out of here.
Give it to me.
How did your father tell you yesterday?
Mom.
I'll do it myself.
Son.
Miss Lin, I'm Zhou Can.
Can.
Oh, Miss Lin has fallen asleep after taking the pills.
Sorry for taking your time to come here.
Fine. Will the class next week still be available?
Yes.
Okay, thank you very much.
Oh, gosh!
What's the matter?
Look at his pants.
Lower down your voice.
Is there something sticking on his pants?
Maybe.
Under Maintenance
Classmate.
Hey, are your pants dirty?
I have an extra one.
I'll fetch it for you.
Here you are.
The toilet is under maintenance. It's forbidden to enter.
How did you get inside?
I didn't see the sign.
What?
Didn't you see the big characters on the board?
Oh, another one.
It's you!
-Hey, wait a second. -Hey, are you a team?
Wait a minute. Wait.
So coincident!
No. Absolutely not!
You dropped something.
No bonding shall happen. Exactly.
I'm Ash-bin.
I…
I didn't mean that.
Oh, my pants are getting dry now, faster than yours.
Why are you following me?
You fell off?
Oh, no. Stop crying. Stop crying.
Let me check it out.
Come on.
Oh, please don't cry.
Be good.
Hai,
lend me your coat.
Mine is yours, isn't it?
Whose?
I don't want it.
Your pants are wet, just take it.
Just go.
Why are you crying again?
It's my turn to cry.
Therefore,
your father is waiting for you and your mother to go to Beijing.
It's Go Back to Beijing.
Alright.
Peking man.
Coming to my zone to mess up?
Me?
Yeah, it's you.
You're wearing my pants.
Hai.
Your pants are here.
Fine.
You shared the booty after the murder,
taking it as war trophies
and showing off in public.
Now I'm telling you.
Today I'm going to battle with you.
Guys, all in.
This...
Take it.
What?
Can't you catch it next time?
Wait.
Pick it up.
You.
Are you playing tricks?
Backstabber?
Bros.
Beat him up!
Come on!
Pick up your weapons.
Hey, Hai.
What are you doing?
Stop!
Dean.
What's your grade?
Twelfth Grade Class 3.
Even have a group scuffle in the twelfth grade?
You guys don't want to take the college entrance examination, right?
No. It's not like that. Miss.
We're not having a group scuffle.
We're
having a demonstration.
Yep.
-Demonstration. -Demonstration.
Demonstration.
Crane spreads its wings.
-Demonstration. - Fetch the moon...
-Demonstration. -From the seabed.
-What for? -Make up your story.
-No, I didn't. -How did I know?
Just make it up.
Doodle.
Printing doodle.
Yeah, doodling.
Right.
Yep.
The shopkeeper is decorating the new shop
and we're asked to draw
for attracting clients.
Auntie, I'm a promising boy now.
The shopkeeper keeps
inviting me to draw.
No one could finish it alone.
Yep.
Just go back. Nothing big here.
Fine.
If one of you could finish the drawing,
I will buy the crap.
-What are we going to paint? -Otherwise, nobody could escape from the punishment.
-What should we paint? -Anything.
Hurry up.
I…
Oh, by the way, you forgot the signature.
Happy Cake Store is under Construction
The star of Zhou Can.
It's sparkling.
Mom.
Where are you going?
Send it to the son of your class adviser.
Your dad mailed it from Beijing.
I heard that he has the right to vote
for the enrollment quota of college.
I'll try all means to get it.
Wait, Mom.
I've picked it up for you.
No need, thanks.
Anyway, I desire to draw nothing.
No.
You could have.
Many of it.
The day you moved in,
the outer packing has been burned by me.
Look.
No business.
Therefore,
I got an idea.
What I can do
is to search for pictures online for you.
What you can do is to draw the posters.
Then I can hang it in the shop
to attract customers.
As long as I'm able to bring the bacon,
you'll get the divided spoils.
I'm not 18 yet,
it's illegal for you to hire me.
Then I won't pay you.
No way.
No way for what?
Your inspiration dries up now?
We make the world we live in
and shape our own environment.
Clear and powerful.
Please sit down.
So boring. Restart the painting.
You know nothing about it.
I'm the boss, just follow my lead.
Only 243 Days Left
Don't you see Yellow River rushes to come from the heaven,
until it reaches the ocean.
Don't you see Yellow River rushes to come from the heaven,
until it reaches the ocean.
Wow!
Opening Hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Jiaoyang.
Jiaoyang, open the door.
I must answer a call of nature.
Just open the door.
I'm telling you,
it's not suitable to watch some movies at such a young age.
Open the door.
I'm calling your granny.
Madam.
Do you still have the one in the drawing?
It's sold out.
Thank you, Madam.
You're welcome.
He bought them all.
Come earlier next time.
Come on.
Oh…
You're here again.
Do you have any more of this?
No.
However, there are new ones in the back.
In that row, you can have a check.
It's a line in a movie.
In the real history, Washington didn't say that.
Okay, I got it.
How is your study recently?
Not bad.
Take good care of your mother.
OK.
I know, Father.
It's getting colder tomorrow,
don't wash your hair in the morning.
I'm going to visit your class adviser.
I'll come back soon.
No.
What did you buy?
Bastard shopkeeper, come out now.
How dare you to cheat me?
Come out!
Unmatched items!
Are they the same?
Are you making fun of me?
Are you?
I…
Bro Fei.
It's not the fault of Jiaoyang.
She has been misled by a bad guy recently.
As bad as me?
Who? Who misled you?
Did you have a look at it?
Of course I did.
If not, I wouldn't have come here for you.
Did you finish it?
Good question.
Entertainment Club.
Unprofessional.
Why would I finish watching this kind of movie?
I've told you.
It's all crooked promotion.
You would pay for it.
You've drawn well
under my guidance.
It's so nice.
Stop jumping.
So touching.
It's so noisy.
Close it.
Entertainment club is so professional.
Look.
Isn't it a smile?
It's pressed by the nut in the door frame.
Wait a minute.
Your eyelashes are so long.
Your…
your front teeth are so white.
It's a power cut.
Let's go. Go to the playground.
Oh, what are you doing here?
I've told you, go outside.
Why are you sticking here?
I'll wait outside.
Okay.
It's a power cut.
Everybody is out.
Yep.
Don't you go out?
Don't you find a chance to release your emotions?
I've applied.
Applied for what?
I've applied for
an art competition.
Can it add credits for you?
No.
But it's of high quality.
I've desired it for long.
The judge is a painter
that I'm fond of for long.
He is the major reason for me to learn painting.
Do your eyes always shine like this?
I'm just staring at you.
Go away.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Are you shameless? I feel embarrassed now.
Wait, Auntie, listen to me.
Don't disturb an adult when she is educating her child.
Mom, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
What did you paint?
-How should I explain it to your father? -Auntie.
What's the matter?
You're
the ash-bin dragging my son into the hell.
Can.
Don't you know how terrible she is?
In the senior high-school entrance exam,
she tore off the test paper of her best friend into pieces
and threw them into the trash can.
Her best friend couldn't take the exam at last.
Auntie.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Am I talking nonsense?
If so, I could apologize.
Can.
Only the trash will urge to go into the trash can.
Jiaoyang.
Mom.
She has her name.
Her name is Yu Jiaoyang
I think you should apologize to her.
You didn't respect her at all.
Don't be sad. I didn't handle it well.
I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mom.
OK.
Is auntie alright now?
She had a headache.
She took the pill and fell asleep.
You're out as expected.
I've come out through the window.
Today,
I've experienced many things for the first time.
My bad.
It's all my fault.
But you don't look guilty
as you said.
You look pleased.
It's not true.
I'm sorry.
Auntie is right.
It's my fault.
You're not.
However, about the case they said,
what's the truth?
They're right about it.
In the senior high-school entrance exam,
I tore the test paper of my best friend into pieces.
I did it intentionally.
I just wanted to help her.
Qian Pei.
I'm hungry. Let's go to the canteen.
I don't have the appetite.
92 points.
If it were my score, I would feed myself with pleasure and meals.
Qian Pei, why are you here?
I'm so stupid.
I can remember nothing.
The senior-high school entrance exam is just around the corner,
my parents have spent a lot in buying oral liquids.
I can't stand it anymore.
Before the exam,
students with poor scores like me
would desire for some accidents,
for example,
car accident.
There is no need to die,
but a fracture is needed.
A natural disaster could have the same effect, too.
Typhoon.
Tornado.
In this case,
only the outside factors could save me.
However,
right in the day before the senior-high school entrance exam,
my best friend told me suddenly that,
she said…
Qian Pei,
why are you here?
You've scared the hell out of me.
In your opinion,
if I'm blown into the sea
on the way to the exam room,
is that a good fortune?
Don't talk nonsense!
Let's go back home, alright?
It depends.
Maybe my parents will rescue me
and send me back to the exam room.
Qian Pei,
don't talk any nonsense!
When the score is revealed,
I'm the one to be sentenced to death, right?
No way.
My ranking last time was not that good.
If I'm destined to ruin it at last,
why don't I just finish it myself?
Qian Pei, what are you talking about?
Pay attention please.
Last five minutes.
Please have a careful check.
Check whether you've filled in your name and exam registration number.
Hey, student!
Halt!
What are you doing?
Why are you tearing the test paper of others?
Let's go!
Let's go to the Office of Academic Affairs.
Don't be affected by her.
Just behave yourselves in the exam room.
Let's go!
About this case,
did you ever try to explain it to others?
Yes.
But nobody bought it.
What's worse, it didn't work at all.
Her parents applied for a secondary exam again.
After all, she was the victim.
The result was not good as expected.
She went to the senior high school in the adjacent province.
We lost contact since then.
My disturbance
turned to change nothing at all.
I felt regret for it.
No.
You can't think like that.
If I had a friend like you,
I would've thought
I'm so lucky to have such a friend.
Stop trying to comfort me.
Don't you have to
fix a can of worms?
I've figured it out.
What's it?
No.
However,
I won't regret.
When a noun is in front of a complement,
and there is no verb,
the noun bears the effect of promoting.
In a sentence, when there are two nouns
not in the coordinating relation,
or not in the subordinate relation,
and there are no other verbs,
the noun is the united verb.
It's possible that I'm having a fever.
The questioning speculation is an innovative reading method integrating reading and thinking.
Granny.
-You're back. -Yeah, I'm back.
You're back.
Are you cooking the Ginger Duck again?
You're so greedy.
Scored as 96.
Awesome, right?
Wow, you're so brilliant!
Granny.
I've discovered a brilliant way.
When I was studying in the past,
my head was fed up with my internal voices.
I couldn't hear anything.
Now,
I have changed it into those of another one.
He is reading for me in my head,
and I've taken it all.
Really?
Yeah.
Reward.
You could enjoy the duck legs alone.
The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue an orange alert for typhoon
and yellow alerts on rainstorms.
Such a bad timing.
Damn it. Typhoon, screw you.
It will land in the region of Fuqing of Fujian on the 18th.
It will be strong.
The weather is killing me.
Beijing is never this humid.
Will Miss Xu come today?
Yes.
The rain is so heavy. It's impossible to get a taxi.
Can.
What about
asking for a day off?
It's alright.
A class costs hundreds of yuan.
I can walk there.
Mom, I'm leaving now.
You haven't finished the breakfast.
I'm good.
Take some eggs.
Can.
What if I drive you there?
No need.
The rain is pouring.
I'm worried about your safety.
Don't worry.
Mom.
I'm old enough to take care of myself.
Hurry up! Hurry up! Give me.
Here you are.
Just be careful.
Got it.
Zhanghai Art Exhibition Selection Competition
Ladies and gentlemen.
You've been through a lot.
It's a bad weather today.
Many contestants are still trapped on the streets due to the weather,
so the organizing committee has decided that
we'll modify some procedures
and delay the competition.
A lot of you are all wet.
Please have a rest and dry yourselves
Mind your health and don't catch a cold.
Please get your admission tickets ready.
Okay.
Come on, what about yours?
Okay.
Sir.
I didn't bring my admission ticket with me.
Can I fetch it after I finish the drawing?
I can't allow that.
Without the admission ticket,
you're not even qualified to attend the competition.
I'm afraid that if I go back to fetch it now,
I may miss the competition.
I could do nothing with it.
You can have a double check.
Okay.
Sir,
I'm going to fetch it now.
Why are you here?
Admission ticket.
Are you a fool?
How could you forget such an important thing?
Give me your hand.
Go.
I'll fetch a towel for you.
Wait a minute.
Take the admission ticket.
You can do it.
I'm leaving now.
The competition will start soon.
Just go.
Bye-bye.
The typhoon that day was fierce.
It rained cats and dogs.
I was shivering,
but
I didn't feel helpless.
Because I knew
where I was heading
and whom I was running towards .
The typhoon that day
was so fierce.
It rained cats and dogs.
Everyone was complaining.
It's cold.
But I remembered nothing
but warmth.
I would even say
it's more than warmth.
It's burning.
A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves; I'll set my cloud-white sail and cross the sea which raves.
Here.
You scared me.
Can.
My son.
Mom.
It's not bad.
It's good.
Let's go.
Keep off.
Excuse me.
Come on.
I'll have it when we get home.
I'll cook you fresh ones when we're home.
Although we took a little detour,
now you're only one step away
from your dream business school.
It's worthy.
Mom.
I want to have fish tonight.
Oh.
It's good for your brain.
What're you doing here?
My granny is cooking duck tonight.
She asked me to buy her special ingredients.
However, it's sold out.
It's the end.
How do you feel?
It's not…
What?
Nothing.
So,
I'm going back now.
I don't think it's the end.
I think it's the beginning.
October, 2009.
Look.
What did you buy?
I got barbeques and beers.
How could we drink without straws?
Really?
Let me show you.
Look.
Drink like this.
Grunting.
The scallion makes it taste better.
Can you really drink like this?
Of course I can.
Yu Wenhai taught me.
What's the matter?
You two gather together every day.
Our department buildings are close.
Screw it.
Throw it away.
Let's go!
Go.
Why didn't we take the bus?
See?
It's getting dark.
You are on the other side of the city.
It's almost a long-distance relationship.
I just want to spend more time with you.
Yeah.
It's my fault.
I'm telling you.
For me,
I like how we are in love despite all the difficulties.
There is no favorable climate.
There is no favorable geographical condition.
There is no blessing.
The whole world is trying to break us apart.
How great our love is!
Break us apart?
My mom was talking nonsense before.
Don't bear it in mind.
Oh, I've almost forgotten.
You're reminding me again.
So,
drink it or not?
I'm not doing Yu Wenhai's way.
I'm doing my way.
Just be careful on the way.
Bye-bye.
I'm sorry, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Why are you here?
I'm coming to see you off.
You're missing your own bus.
It's alright. I'll walk home.
Visual Art
Dad.
Why are you here?
I'm passing by.
Are you devoting yourself to these craps now?
Yes.
I have a special forum later.
I'm the keynote speaker.
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
Your mom, too?
This is the path you chose, huh?
This is what you quitted business school for?
Telephone Number for Ordering Food
Hello?
I'm making an order.
Zhou Can.
Sister Lin.
Mr. Wang has arrived.
I'm going to pick him up.
-Okay. -You and Liu are in charge now.
Everything will be fine, right?
Sister Lin, please rest assured.
-Come on. -Eh.
Liu.
Sister Lin.
Have you and Zhou Can get the building permits yet?
The event will start soon.
Where do we get it?
Hello?
Why didn't you make the address clear in the order?
Wait, who is that?
Zhou. Zhou Can.
Is this the take-out you ordered?
I didn't order anything.
It might be me.
Just leave it at the front gate please.
There is no place to put it here.
Just come out and get it.
Just take a seat as you please.
I'll be back soon.
Okay.
So, where are you now?
Here. I'm here.
I was almost about to leave.
Such a waste of time.
Hello.
Please show your ticket.
I'm the staff here.
Please show me your pass.
I'm sorry.
I've left my pass inside.
I went out to take the delivery.
I'm sorry, please buy a ticket over there. Thanks.
Excuse me.
I'm the staff.
I didn't bring my pass with me.
Could I buy a replacement ticket?
Please queue up, thanks for cooperation.
Thank you.
Wait, but I…
Come on, look at here.
Come on. Lift up your hand. Great.
Excuse me.
This is the brochure, Mr. Wang.
Please have a look.
Mr. Wang.
Liu.
I don't know how to turn it off.
This is the first time I use an Apple computer.
You didn't come back on time.
Everyone was here already, so I thought I can start showing some files.
This folder on your desktop is named "the most important thing".
So I just opened it.
I didn't do it intentionally.
Originally I was not the one to handle this case.
How could that happen?
What do we do now?
I'm sorry, Mr. Wang.
Do I need to remind you how important the forum is?
Your intern is really too unreliable.
Here you are.
Did your nose bleed again?
Did you take the drink I made for you?
Yes or no?
What about this?
Let's go see a doctor after you finish the case.
Leave me alone.
What do you mean?
Leave me alone.
No.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
What happened?
Nothing.
It's none of your business.
No.
Just tell me.
I didn't handle it well.
Zhou Can.
Do you think
you can solve the problems by sulking?
I'm losing the job.
What's wrong?
It's my fault. Just leave it to me.
No.
Zhou Can.
You tell me nothing
and just think I understand nothing.
You don't even try to explain it to me.
Tell me what I can do.
We don't need to share anything.
Even if I tell you, it's meaningless.
At least now it's only me who's upset.
Why do you have to make both of us upset?
It's meaningless.
How could that be meaningless?
We should face problems together. Isn't that the meaning?
I'm your girlfriend.
I want to know what happened to my boyfriend.
Why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong?
What could you do if you know it?
If I can't fix it, then you can't fix it, either.
Right?
Why do you keep asking? What is the point?
To know is the point.
I always think
that if someone is always by my side
and support me,
then that's good enough.
Jiaoyang.
You're not the only one who can define companionship.
Although we're in love,
you have your own life,
so do I.
It is only responsible
if I can take care of my own life.
It turns out that
I'm wrong essentially.
I thought I was sharing your burdens.
It turns out I was the burden.
Jiaoyang, let's talk about it later.
Don't ever come to me again.
Jiaoyang.
Thank you.
Xiaoyu.
Look.
Is he touching that girl's waist?
Stop it. He's not.
Really?
Yes.
What grade is he in?
Where?
When people break up, why do they say…
Don't come to me anymore!
Don't talk with me anymore. Delete me.
All are demands for the other side.
It should be the other way around.
I won't come to you anymore.
I won't talk with you anymore.
Now I'm deleting you.
When you make these demands for yourselves.
It's called decisions. It's a period.
When you throw…
those cold demands to the other side,
they become threats.
They become questions.
You want him to say no.
You want him to beg for your staying.
Sir.
Where are the water color pens?
-Over there. -Okay.
The carp doesn't taste good,
so I didn't take any.
Li Yujin.
What's the matter?
Haven't we made peace?
Is there no need for me to go?
It's alright. That's fine.
Thank you very much.
Let's take a photo of the bride tossing the bouquet.
Great.
But…
we're short-handed.
Miss.
Miss. Over here.
Miss.
Excuse me.
We're taking a photo of the bouquet tossing.
Can we take a minute of yours?
Just pretend you're a guest and try to catch the bouquet.
-Sorry. -Please do us a favor. Thank you.
Please. Do us a favor.
Fine.
Just a second.
Okay.
Toss it to me.
Come on.
Get ready. Cheese.
Are you ready?
Whoever catches the bouquet will have her own wedding soon.
Zhou Can
Great. Nice pose.
Hang on to it.
Hurry up!
Come on.
I'm going to throw.
Bride.
Are you ready?
One,
two,
three.
If you were to host my funeral one day…
What?
How would you deliver my eulogy?
Think about it.
If we spend our lives together…
then at the end...
one of us has to give a eulogy for the other.
What a weird question all of a sudden.
Not all of a sudden.
I think about it a lot when I'm alone.
At the end of your life…
how would you describe your lifetime partner?
How would you describe me?
Me?
Hm.
Think about it, please.
Everyone in the funeral would shed tears.
Our children, our friends…
...and perhaps many people we are not so familiar would come to our funerals.
When are you so popular?
I've always been popular.
So,
at the end,
...you pick up the microphone.
What kind of person was your wife-Yu Jiaoyang?
How would you describe me?
What would you say?
Me?
Yeah.
I'll start.
Sure.
Today,
right here,
I’ve promisted to him…
...that I would not cry.
So, I must keep the promise.
Because...
I have nothing to regret.
We've gone through a lot hand in hand,
At the end,
what separated us
was neither dispute
nor betrayal,
but natural laws, the fairest thing in the world.
I'm gratified
and grateful.
Thank god.
I'm luck enough
to describe my life as happy.
Zhou Can and I
have spent our lives hand in hand.
Zhou Can
was the best lover.
Every step that I took towards him
…made me feel happier.
Therefore,
Zhou Can,
in the next life,
by all means, I will be with you again.
What's wrong?
Have you fallen asleep?
No.
In my part,
I have never met a girl…
…who could be cute even with a trash can over her head.
That is no way a compliment.
You're ruining the vibe.
No, I'm not.
November, 2015
I shared the minutes of our last meeting in the group.
Who didn't get it?
And as for the problems with the gifts…
Hello?
Yes.
We need to redo all the designs related to the nursing care plan.
Shall we replace the gifts, too?
Okay, no problem.
I'll get it done by the day after tomorrow.
By the way,
the gifts that we've already bought…
Can I keep them for myself?
I want to give them to my granny
Okay.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
-What's wrong with you? -Sorry. Sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
Are you alright?
It's all smashed.
I'm so sorry.
I'll pay for it.
Is it alright?
I'm so sorry.
I'm not trying to make profits from you.
Just rest assured.
I'll finish on time.
Look forwards to our future collaboration.
Thank you.
Does it hurt?
I'll be quick.
What a disppointing birthday.
I changed my flight…
hoping to come back earlier and celebrate with you.
But my plane got delayed.
I couldn't even pick up the cake I booked.
Which airline did you choose?
We can put it on the blacklist next time.
The miles are worth all the movie tickets we spent for a year.
There is no need.
Next time I'll pay for you.
Nice.
It's all on you.
You had a tough time.
You're good to go.
It's lucky that my client has given me an apple pie.
It's just that I crashed it.
If the case is fake…
...then the present must be real.
I was just joking last time.
How could you still remember it?
Of course I can.
How can I forget anything my wife said?
Come on.
Are you done?
Wait a second.
I can tell...
…that you've never put on a necklace before.
That's because I'm single-minded.
Fool.
Alright.
Okay.
Wow.
It's all smashed.
Wait a minute.
Zhou Can's Jiaoyang will be happy.
Make a wish.
I always make three wishes on my birthday.
Two of them have remained the same for years.
First, I hope everything goes well with our works.
Second, I hope granny can stay healthy.
But as for the third wish I made in the age of 25.
I feel nervous and scared…
to even think about it in my head.
Because it's too perfect.
Too perfect to be real.
To make such a wish…
it has cost me much courage.
Can God hear me?
Please help me realize it.
I hope by my next birthday,
...I could have changed the third wish...
...into something else already.
My wife has such a strong lung.
Okay.
May all my wife's wishes…
...come true.
Really?
Yeah.
You still have work to deal with?
It's so late.
I will join the new company soon.
There are many cases to deal with.
Pump it.
Hey, Bei.
I'm not tired at all.
Isn't our goal to buy a car within a year and a house within three years?
I'm doing it.
Sister.
Private office. How is it?
I won't fail your expectation.
Don't be silly.
We haven't thanked Mr. Huang yet.
He offered a lot of helps with this project.
Now that you get promoted too.
how about having a gathering?
How about tomorrow?
Okay.
Wait. No.
I may not be available tomorrow.
I have a date with my boyfriend.
Okey. Just let me know when.
Sure.
Oh, just come in.
Have a look.
Help me move the flowers.
Help me clean the window.
Okay.
How do you feel?
Leaving a tiger's den and entering a wolf's den?
It's not too late to escape now.
There are beasts everywhere.
I admire how positive you are.
however, in the outside world,
you should look humble and polite.
This is your seat.
The office supplies are coming.
Don't put it here.
Let me handle it.
We must finish the proposal this afternoon.
You must hurry up.
Mind nothing but this case.
It's a miracle that president Sun would even agree to talk to a startup like ours.
Our pitch deck has to be perfect.
We must overstate our advantages,
Otherwise, she'll forget us immediately.
Really?
Hurry up! Hurry up!
President Sun. President Sun.
Bei.
I'm very sorry.
I forgot our appointment.
Okey. I'll take a look.
Let's take a seat and have a chat.
I'm sorry, but I don't have the time.
I'll have a meeting soon.
Let's chat another time.
Another time.
It's alright.
When will you be free?
Maybe next week.
Next week.
We're running out of time.
I'm really too busy this week.
My driver has been hospitalized,
and I have to pick up my child.
Please try to understand.
Okay.
So,
when can I make an appointment again?
Let's talk about it next time.
President Sun.
Is there anything we can do to help?
Jiaoyang.
Come and persuade Mr. Huang to bottom up.
You've spent the whole night in just sipping.
Exactly.
You're exaggerating.
I've had enough already.
Jiaoyang, Huang is yours.
You people.
Jiaoyang.
You phone just rang.
Did someone call you?
Hello, my dear.
Hi, honey.
Do you have any cash?
Where're you?
I'm coming now.
I'm in Lianyi.
Cash?
How much do you want?
Five hundred.
I have it.
Where is Lianyi?
Lianyi.
It's the restaurant.
Haven't we been here before?
No.
I'm sending you the address. Just come over.
Okay.
Lianyi
Honey.
That's too much.
Five hundred is enough.
You sure?
Yes.
The petrol station only accepts cash and gas filling card.
Do you know where the nearest one is?
Yeah.
I just serached one on GPS.
Okay.
Can you close the windows?
It's freezing.
Okay.
I…
I'm helping a friend.
Go ahead.
Drive safe.
Okay.
Did you drink?
Yes.
Don't drink too much.
Okay.
Rest assured.
Just leave.
I'm leaving.
Honey.
Come on.
Mom.
What's wrong?
The driver this time is much more interesting than the last one.
Driver?
Call him uncle.
Uncle Zhou.
Did you thank Uncle Zhou?
Thank you, Uncle.
You're welcome.
Come on.
President Sun.
Here you are.
I'm sorry.
I'm a little bit late today.
I had to refuel the car.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you, Zhou.
My pleasure.
Say goodbye to Uncle.
Goodbye, Uncle.
Byebye.
President Sun,
tomorrow is Monday.
Both Bei and I would like to know
whether it's possible for us to take part in the project.
Zhou, the truth is,
for a company like yours,
you shouldn't target at the big orders
but start from whatever cases you have.
Of course, it's just my personal opinion.
and it's not always right.
Thank you for what you've done today.
-Nothing. My pleasure. -Bye-bye.
Let's go.
President Sun.
How about this?
Before you find another driver,
I could be the one.
Just like what you said,
I will start from whatever
I have in hand now.
You're back.
Thank you for your hard work.
What are those?
Wedding candies.
Perfect.
Give me one.
Where do they come from?
Hai.
He and Li Yujin are getting married next week,
But they don't plan to do a wedding ceremony.
They will just travel around.
But they sent wedding candies anyway.
Yuwen Hai.
Yeah.
He got married so fast.
Honey.
How much shall we put in the red packet
for their wedding?
It doesn't matter.
Up to you.
Anyway, no matter how much we give them,
they will give back one day.
Sir,
what would you like?
Let me have a look.
Mr. Huang.
The client spoke highly of us.
We got greenlighted all the way to the top.
May I have a cup of water?
I'm sorry.
We don't provide free water here.
But the desserts are 40% off now.
Let me have a look, again.
Zhou.
President Sun.
President Sun, I'm very sorry.
It's still rough.
This is good enough.
I asked for it on short notice.
Not at all.
It's a training on me.
Honey.
You have a charming smile.
Why is it like this?
I can make a modification right now.
Forget about it.
It's my son. It's his birthday.
He asks for a themed party.
It's all my fault.
I didn't make it clear enough.
I can draw another one.
There is no need.
It's too late anyway.
Just go home.
I'm leaving now.
Byebye.
Take care.
Honey, you have a nice smile
Honey.
My dear.
Does the battery of the lock die again?
Why do you come back so late?
I got some extra works today, for some promotional events.
The displayed balloons didn't arrive on time.
I…
managed to turn waste into wealth.
Am I awesome?
Really?
Yes.
Don't you believe me?
I believe you.
What did you buy?
It's from President Sun.
She liked the painting I did for her.
Her son is having a birthday party,
so she gave me a piece of cake.
Here.
My dear.
It is actually lucky…
that we're not working with a person like her.
It's not that easy.
I can't just quit a job I don't like.
We still have to live.
I still have to raise the family.
I don't want you to be like this.
What's the meaning of my existence?
This is our family.
The one earning more should be the one to raise the family.
Is that wrong?
You're good at turning waste into wealth.
But can it fly?
I'm back.
Honey, you're working late again
When will it end?
Say something unhappy to make you happy. I've been forced to work overtime these days too. The client wants to add new materials again.
I'll be there soon.
Alright. Alright.
But I came up with a solution, and make a guess.
Yeah, I'm exhausted.
Five people rush to do twenty people's share of work, which feels like a life for money
Don't work too hard, take care of your body
It's easy to say
I am concerned about you
Oh
Jiaoyang.
Drink some water.
Thank you.
Why did the meeting take so long?
The project is too complicated.
I just watched a really funny video.
It's really funny.
Look.
So interesting.
That clumsy panda.
Phone fraud.
They're selling commercial space.
The agent kept calling me last month.
Ask your husband to buy it.
My husband?
Yeah.
Jiaoyang.
Where are you goiong?
Hurry up.
He's here.
Finally.
What?
The person in charge of this project is coming soon.
From the headquarters in France.
At 1pm tomorrow afternoon…
we'll do the pitch.
Be ready for the presentation.
All thanks to President Sun this time.
President Sun…
...has put in some good words for us.
You're great.
You didn't waste your time in driving for her.
Hello, dear,
I'm going to..
Honey,
something is wrong with my granny. I'm so scared.
What happened?
I'm so scared.
Don't worry.
Granny is in ICU.
Honey, I'm so afraid.
Please come. I'm begging you.
I promise.
I'm begging you.
I will be there for you.
This is not good enough.
There is no way we get the project like this.
Let's start it all over again.
The case of your grandmother is serious.
She might not be able to make it tonight.
Right.
I'm on my way.
I'll be there soon.
Hold on.
They rescheduled.
We'll go last tomorrow at 11 in the morning.
How could that be?
Isn't it set in today?
They are doing us a favor.
11 o'clock in tomorrow morning.
Then…
can we postpone it?
Of course not.
Can you do the pitch tomorrow instead?
Zhou Can. What's the matter?
How could you act like this at such a critical moment?
This project means a lot to the company.
This project means a lot to you.
Don't you understand?
Be there on time.
Okay.
Wife
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Excuse me. Thank you.
This is your grandmother's.
Yangyang. Yangyang.
I‘ve received the ducks.
You have no idea. I sent one to everyone.
Each neighbor got one.
They all missed you so much.
Will you come back in this spring festival
with Zhou Can?
Bring him with you.
I want to see you two.
Jiaoyang, I'm sorry, I can't get there until later.
Jiaoyang.
Jiaoyang, are you there?
The phone you're calling is powered off.
Hello.
Jiaoyang.
Drink some milk.
Oh.
I‘ve simmered it for an hour.
It should be good.
It tastes weird.
What's wrong with it?
I should have known it earlier.
I should have leanred how to cook from you.
I shouldn't have gone out when you were cooking.
I overcooked it.
I ruined the dish.
Granny.
I miss you so much.
I miss you.
I miss you so much.
Granny.
I couldn't hold on anymore.
Please hug me.
I broke up with him that day.
It's like a relief.
I wouldn't expect anything from him anymore.
He wouldn't need to promise me anything anymore.
We stepped onto different paths…
without any burdens.
We all felt relieved.
I have deleted the fingerprints of my login in the electronic lock, and I should not have left anything else belonging to me
If there is, I guess it will not be any important, so please help me to deal with it
Good bye and good luck, Jiaoyang
However, one month later,
when I thought of that breakup,
I still can't help crying.
My cries woke up the neighbors.
I wanted to wipe him completely away from my memory.
Because even a tiny thing that reminded me of him,
a song,
a crossroad,
...would help him make his way back to my head.
It reminded me how much of a failure I was
how much youth I've lost.
It forced me…
to describe him as a stain in my life.
It forced me…
to deny myself…
who loved him so much.
After a long while,
I finally realized
the true reason for my bitter cry was that
I knew deep in my heart…
that he was not a mistake,
and he was not a stain.
I couldn’t just wipe him away.
because the time with him couldn't prove me a failure.
He was just
Annual Forum Hangzhou World Youth
someone I've ever loved
….and someone who loved me.
He existed in my past.
And those days from the past…
defined my days in the future.
One Year Later
By launching this interactive project of collage poem…
we're trying to challenge the traditional concepts of art exhibition
This is also why…
we set the venues at unconventional locations.
Like in a shopping mall?
Right.
But we'll have to make adjustments according to the locations.
Of course.
And that's where we need you.
Don't worry.
Okay, great!
No problem.
I look forward to our future collaboration.
It's all on you.
Sure.
Zhou, help yourself please.
Okay.
We'll have to go.
-All right. -See you later.
Thank you for your efforts.
Let's go.
You.
You're here.
I saw the promotion on the internet.
That painter I was just talking to…
this is his first official art exhibition in China.
It'll be held in the atrium of our shopping mall.
"Our mall?"
Awesome.
You're flattering me.
No.
I mean it.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Where are you going?
I have a dinner at six o'clock.
A dinner with some clients.
Why are you back?
I just told you
I'm going to meet clients.
Why did you throw my power bank?
I…
I thought you've arrived.
Fine.
3% of power.
What now?
I still have a lot of works to do.
My battery is almost dead, too.
I also have 3% left.
It's alright.
Are you alright?
You still need to catch a bus, right?
It's alright.
I have nothing but time.
No, you'll miss your ride.
Let me walk with you.
Alright.
Please stop here.
Zhou Can.
How long have we known each other?
More than eight years.
Almost nine years.
Such a long time.
Yes.
I'm leaving now.
In the future,
please take good care of yourself.
You, too.
I'm leaving.
Two Years Later
Jiaoyang, I wrote down the password, I'm sorry, because my computer is down, I have to borrow yours
Be careful next time. Important files have to be backed up
YJY, Yu Jiaoyang.
Who is ZC?
Jiaoyang, remember to change the password later. I'm so sorry.
Or maybe I'll go slam down a bottle of wine now so I'll wake up and forget all about it
How could I forget?
128 in total.
Okay.
Here.
Hello, could you help us scan the QR code?
You can get coupons from our supermarket.
No, thanks.
Please, please do us a favor.
It won't take long. It's very easy.
It looks complicated. I don't know how to do it.
Please allow me.
Okay.
It's done, thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you.
Thank you.
Phone virus?
No, sorry to bother you
How have you been doing?
Not bad.
I'm getting married next week.
Congratulations and good luck!
I will not send the red envelope, so you do not have to count the money to hand cramps. I will not give you additional burden
Thanks. Thanks.
This way, please.
It's so cute.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
Welcome. Welcome here.
Congratulations!
Happy wedding.
Come and greet Uncle.
How old is he?
Half past three years old.
Next,
the bride and the bridegroom will exchange their love tokens,
please put the ring gently
on the ring finger of the left hand of your lover.
Please lock the love with this ring.
Okay, our handsome bridegroom,
you can hug your beautiful bride now.
So warm and sweet.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
Let's welcome the bridegroom's friend to make a toast.
Let's welcome him with applause!
As the startup partner of the bridegroom,
Now I'm really anxious. My friend who is going to give a speech on behalf of the family and friends said he might not be able to make it.
I was so scared, I thought you were going to ask me to give a speech.
I don't dare. I'm just kidding. All the best and may you two live together till old and grey.
Today,
right here,
I’ve promised to him…
...that I would not cry.
So, I must keep the promise.
Because,
...I have nothing to regret.
The beautiful memories value more than anything.
They rush to come,
asking me to give an opening speech.
I used to think
the most beautiful journey in the world
is the one into the heart of a lover.
Every step I took towards him
was accompanied with sweetness.
However, I understand now,
the most beautiful journey in the world…
is all the ordinary days…
that we spent with our lovers.
The days with ups and downs,
hatred and love,
weakness and helplessness,
or even,
anger,
despair.
To be in a relationship…
is like taking a test with no correct answers.
We can only explore clumsily.
We learn by repeatedly falling in love with the other person
and repeatedly falling in love with ourselves
We make mistakes,
and feel disappointed.
But we fight for it.
Those days
won't disappear.
Zhou Can,
every step we took together in the past
has proved
that we've truly,
sincerely,
lived our best lives.
That's why we could be better.
Today,
right here,
I've promised to him…
that I would not cry.
Because I have nothing to regret.
Oh, by the way,
you forgot to sign.
Be happy.
Zhou Can.
