In Our Prime (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Last time I saw DanDan

He had just turned a month old

And now, he already knows how to run

Take it easy

Don't worry about mom

You guys just enjoy every day

I'm scared to call you guys

Afraid you'll get annoyed

Checking your steps (on

WeChat) gives me a good sense

Not many steps

You must be at home or at the radio station

A lot of steps

Means my daughter is worn out again

My steps every day

is zero

Got it

Drink your medicine first

It's hot

Still hot?

Mom

Huaide found you the

best doctor in Shenzhen

Can definitely cure your illness

Wait till after New Year

Our company will go public

Then you and dad can live in Shenzhen

It'll be easier to see the doctor

You can also help us look after DanDan

Agree

After your mom gets better

Then we'll go to Shenzhen

Your mom can cook for you guys

And I'll teach DanDan how to shadowbox

Great

Drink Chinese or Western liquor?

When DanDan is a bit older

Send him back

The country air is better

There are crops in the field

Animals in the house

The kid can live carefree

Sis and brother-in-law don't

want to bring DanDan back here

They want him to be in

Shenzhen and be cultured

Shenzhen is the window to the world

For sure

Ok ok

Come, DanDan

Be careful, this is hot

Hot, this is hot

Need something?

I'm really busy

The house you live in now

Can you change the title to my name?

What do you mean?

DanDan is starting elementary school

There's a key school near your house

This matter is a bit complicated

I need to discuss it with Tian Ian Ian

You guys don't even have kids

The house is not useful to you

It's not useful now

Doesn't mean it's not useful in the future

Are you not DanDan's father?

Yes I am

But it's not the same

What do you mean?

DanDan has your

last name

Forget it if you don't care

I was just asking

Worst case

DanDan goes back to

Sichuan for elementary school

The thing is

The name on the house

Has already been changed to Tian Ian Ian

I can't make the call

It's not a big problem

I'll buy you guys another

house in the school district

Won't that be it?

Cut the crap

Who's this guy?

A lawyer

Changing home ownership is a legal matter

Gimme two months

Will give you the deed to the house

Mister

You're home

Wake up

Mister

Can you help me get him up?

Will tip you

Which floor?

35th floor

There are elevators

50

Deal

Hey bro

Have you made up your mind yet?

Your river view house

is located in the best schooling

zone in all of Shenzhen

If you choose to sell it

Then within minutes

Cash will pour back

Then...

I just wanted to understand

the housing market

Understand the housing

market in good school districts

For what?

DanDan starts elementary school soon

Our house is in a good school district

Li Yitian wants the house

changed to her name

That is a great idea

Sure

So generous

Very sensible

Like the real estate agent just said

Cash will pour back within minutes

Ask Li Yitian to get the cash ready

And wire it to me tomorrow

Her plan is thorough enough

Housing in a good school district is

three times the price of normal housing

Change the name?

What's she thinking?

For her kid

Then what will our kids do in the future?

What are you thinking about?

I can't get pregnant right now

Doesn't mean I can't

get pregnant in the future

I'm not talking about that

Don't be so sensitive

It's currently 4:30pm, Beijing time

I'm Li Yitian

Let's take a look at the

current traffic conditions

Fo-Kai Highway towards Guangzhou

Dayanshan Station to Jiujiang is open

A lot of traffic around construction sites

Guang-Shen Highway towards Shenzhen...

Why are you crying?

Just now, the director said

I'm let go

How come?

He said this month

I've been late to work over 10 times

You're still on your probation period

You're too careless

Sis

There's so much traffic

My daily round trip commute is three hours

You see

Still looking for other reasons

I'll go talk to the director

Before we start this

chapter of Water Margin

I want to first read a poem to everyone

The poem goes like this









Hello?

Hello, Mr. Ma

Mr. Wen says

He wants to invite you for a cup of tea

He also says

Pay back the money

I'm not in Shenzhen right now

I'm in Shanghai negotiating a deal

Wait till I'm back in Shenzhen

I'll report to Mr. Wen immediately

The meaning of this poem

Talks about the Five Dynasties

Period after the fall of the Tang Dynasty

The world was in chaos

I have one good news

And one bad news

Which one do you want to hear first?

Bad news

Today

I received my acceptance

letter from New York University

I can attend their law school

And get my PhD

This is good news

If such

I'd have to leave you

Leaving you

is bad news

A bit dramatic

Then what's the good news?

I decided

to not go

Overly dramatic

I can't be held responsible

I'm so ordinary

And with a child

Is it worth it to you?

In life

Everybody's pretending

The two of us together

We're relaxed

Warm

Don't need to pretend

That isn't worth it?

Six months ago

You said you'd get a divorce

More so, you and her were separated

Only then did we start (our relationship)

But now

What will people think?

How about we break up?

This is too hard

It's my fault

At the time, Liu Xue agreed to a divorce

But who knew

She would back out

Don't worry

It'll end

Are you living for others?

Or are you living for yourself?

I'm living for others

DanDan come quickly

Ms. Pan

DanDan beat someone up again today

I'll have a talk with him at home

Hurry up you still

have two tutoring lessons

At his young age

How can he have such violent tendencies?

Last autumn

I was a bit overwhelmed

So I sent him back to Sichuan

He spend half a year with his grandpa

And got spoiled

No matter who spoiled him

This needs to be corrected

Got it

Hurry up

There's not enough time

DanDan

Go do your robotics and

nuclear fusion homework

I think you have procrastination

Can this homework be put off?

This is just like taking a beating

Getting beat early is still a beating

Getting beat late is still a beating

Why not get it over with

Wrong delivery

I didn't order takeout

Sis

It's me

Sheng Qiang

It's really you?

DanDan

Who am I?

Uncle

Good boy

Last year when you were home

I took you to catch tadpoles

Did you forget?

I remember

And we flew a kite

Sheng Qiang

Weren't you fixing motorbikes in Chengdu?

When did you come to Shenzhen?

I've been here a month

Been here a month and

you didn't come see me?

Why am I named Sheng

(better than) Qiang (strong)

Things I can take care of myself

I don't bother others

Bothering my sister

It's gotta be something serious

Come in

I can't come in

I still need to hurry up

and deliver the next order

If delivered late,

they'll give a bad review

Then I'll lose today's wage

It's like that?

DanDan

This brown sugar

glutinous rice cake is for you

Sis

I know you love to eat mapo tofu

This restaurant gets a lot of orders

Must be authentic

But I didn't even get you anything

And then you're buying me things

I know them well

I get a discount

This is called

(getting first dibs by being close)

Don't you have a girlfriend back home?

She's pushing for marriage everyday

I had to get out

Without money, marriage is pointless

Using love for energy is not realistic

In any case

This time

If I don't make a name for myself

I'm not going back

I'm taking off

Sis

When I'm making my deliveries,

I listen to your traffic radio

You are sometimes accurate

Sometimes not

What do you need from me?

The house in the school district

Change it to my name

You guys can still live there

We think...

The matter regarding the

house is not for discussion

The two sides of the

equation does not equal

What I want to tell you is

You and Ma Huaide

Need to see each other less frequently

What do you mean?

Men

The scariest thing is

Actually seeing their ex

You should learn from me

What do you mean?

When my ex comes looking for me

I've not responded even once

Actually he understands

me better than Ma Huaide

But he was a sculpture major

He couldn't even get

one project in two years

With him

Even renting is in the ghettos

Finding a person with money

Is to seek a worry free life

But who knew life can change

A few years later

All that's left is worry

Look

Blisters all over my lips

I have enough things to worry about

So don't give me more trouble

I don't have time to babble with

you about non-existent things

I need to go pick up my kid

I also have enough things to worry about

So don't you also give me more trouble

Hi cuties

I'm going to Europe for holiday

This greyish-blue hand bag

Paired together with this

diamond pendant on me

Super gorgeous

Isn't this pairing super fitting for

Europe's blue skies and castles?

Ok

I'm Masked Ian Ian (Blue) Sky

Love you guys!

See you next time

This is already what time

Still here flaunting your riches

You flaunt out there

I can't flaunt online?

What I'm doing is not flaunting

It's cultivating

After all

I can't let everyone know I'm bankrupt

One of the things I just said

I wasn't kidding

It's real

Which thing?

Going to Europe

I'm going to The Carnival of Venice

Who are you going with?

With myself

A spontaneous trip

I just said we're broke

Where do you have the money?

I can sell my handbags

Sell my jewelry

You're sick

I need to discuss some things with you

What things?

Borrow some money

Don't you have quite a lot of money?

Even going to buy DanDan a

house in a good school district

That's just a matter of time

Right now

Am I not broke?

Broke and still driving a Mercedes?

It's exactly because I'm broke

that I'm driving a Mercedes

Asking people to raise capital

I surely can't ride around

on an electric scooter

The majority is not a problem

I'm just short a little change

I know you still have a couple

hundred thousand in hand

I'll pay you back in a month

I'm not falling for that

I beg you

Failure is just that

Stop holding on

Back in the day, when

the company first started

Didn't we also put our family's money

into the company to save it?

Didn't we make it all back later?

When the company was healthy

We had over a thousand employees

In the end, we were

just left with five people

My comeback is not only for myself

I'm also doing it for

those brothers of mine

They are scattered all over

I need to rally the troops

Idiotic nonsense again

Perhaps so in the past

But definitely not now

One month

Just one month

The fund that I'm raising will be in place

I'll sign a contract with you immediately

20% interest

This is surely better than

you keeping it in the bank

Even if I'm a fraud, I can't defraud you

Who are you?

You are DanDan's mom

Doesn't hurting you equal hurting DanDan?

Does Tian Ian Ian know about this?

She can't find out

I'll repay you after I get money in a month

Don't we still need to hide it from her?

Counselor Yuan Fang

Liu Xue is at our law firm

Where is she?

In your office

Asking where did you go?

What did you say?

I said you went out to process a case

Tell me what do you wanna do?

Sheng Qiang

Sis

It was him

Suddenly knocked me off the road

Scam

This is obviously a scam

I've seen this kind of thing too many times

I'm not giving a penny

It's really not about the money

But I can't back down to

this kind of malicious behavior

Sis

This is a serious problem

I can only ask you for help

Did getting hit cause

any internal injuries?

Let's go get checked at the hospital

What do you wanna do?

He's weaving in and out around my car

And then suddenly brakes in front of me

How can I possibly stop in time?

In theory

He

Should actually fix my car

You've already hit him into this condition

How can you still talk like this?

Then how should I talk?

How do you want to talk?

I'm his lawyer

Got something to say, say it to me

Whoa

Even he can have a lawyer?

You want to go to court?

I don't need to go to court

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to post this video online

Let everybody see

How a rich man driving a BMW

treats the delivery guy

that he just ran into?

Trying to incite online bullying?

What are you trying to do?

Give you 1000 okay?

He hit and injured you like this

Why did you just agree?

Better to resolve quickly with enemies

Then it's not that easy to make enemies

Then you should at least ask for more

1000

Is it even enough for

you to go get treated?

I'm tough and thick skinned

This minor injury

Doesn't need to be looked at

Sis

This brother

I'm going to work

Are you alright?

I'm alright

Thanks

Thank you guys

Drive slowly

Be safe

Ok

Sheng Qiang

Be careful

Ok

Sheng Qiang is an honest man

Sheng Qiang is willing to win at all cost

In order to make money

He's willing to risk his life

When Sheng Qiang was young

His father passed away

And his mother remarried

My parents raised him as their own

Sheng Qiang is like my actual brother

My home is his home

Life

is too precious

As to how you live it

It's all squandered

If there's light in your heart

The road to heaven

Is right in your heart

I look around left and right

Everywhere

It's all the people I love

How can I possibly

Head in the wrong direction?

It's all the people I love

How can I possibly

Head in the wrong direction?

Entering this brand new love

Your road

Is on the other side

Suddenly enlightened

Becomes

Heaven

This is a poem by Persian poet Rumi

Very good

Great poem

Take it

Doing you a favor, how can I accept money?

You also invested in this poetry society?

Just for fun

Take it

Money from the poetry society

I don't want to take anybody's money

Just do me a favor

What favor?

DanDan starts elementary school soon

My house's school

district isn't going to cut it

You're so well connected

Help me think about it

I got you covered

This easy?

I want to be humble too

But my abilities won't allow it

DanDan

What's your dream when you grow up?

Tell the truth or tell a lie?

Obviously tell the truth

I want to become the

type of person like grandpa

Nonsense

He's just a drunk

I shouldn't have let you

stay with him last year

My grandpa knows how to shadowbox

I want to be a scientist when I grow up

I also said this when I

was in elementary school

It's bogus

Ren Shuang

You really want to stay single forever?

From when we graduated until now

I've been a bridesmaid eleven times

Out of these eleven marriages

Divorced

Four

Two more divorced and re-married

The five marriages

that are still holding on

Fall under three categories

One

Going through the motions

and raising kids together

Two

Bickering all day amongst husbands

mother-in-laws, and mistresses

And suffering from depression

Three

Having affairs

But acting like everything's fine at home

The situation

is this kind of situation

I'm not wading in this muddy water

Ren Shuang

You come right down

Why are you here?

Cut the crap

Hurry up and come down

If you don't think about anything else

Think about your old father downstairs

Almost 80

You post 80s generation

Are all single children

If you jump

What will he do by himself?

Don't you guys come over here

If you come, I'll jump

You idiot

Why didn't you jump

sooner if you wanted to jump?

You jump after I come

So I can feel remorse

And not be at peace for the rest of my life

Is this something people

do to other people?

DanDan is still relying on

you for elementary school

Tell us what's wrong

We can help you

Go save her

Protect her

Be safe

Be careful

Tell me

What exactly happened?

I got scammed

By who?

It's...

It's the guy who created

the Moonlight Poetry Society

Your brother here

Has all over the world

Helped over 30 companies

Go public on the NASDAQ

Anyways

But your brother

Yearns for

Still his native land

And familial love

Of course

There's also that bowl of

Rice cake and rice noodle roll

Even though your brother

here is a businessman

But I also

Since childhood

Had a passion for literature

Thus why, your brother

Created this

Moonlight Poetry Society

Thanks everyone for

showing face and joining

Why do you guys join?

To make money

Because you guys have vision

The old proverb said it well

You can't change your life

But you can change your life perspective

Well said

Excellent

I'll say it one more time

I created this poetry society

For two purposes

First

To make money

Help

Everybody's investment

Grow multiple times

Great

Who knew

He was putting up a fancy front

To illegally collect money

Secondly

Besides making money

There's also

Poetry and the future

To borrow from that poem

What I see

It's all the people I love the most

How can I possibly head

in the wrong direction?

How much did you invest?

Five million

What about the con artist?

He took off with the money

Disappeared into thin air

Thanks everyone

I'm...

I'm a wily fox

How did I get tricked by a crook?

This isn't a matter of money

It's embarrassing if the word gets out

Embarrassing

So embarrassing that I

don't think I can keep living

If you die because of money

Isn't that even more embarrassing?

We reported this now

The police are involved

The crook will be caught

This money thing

You're not born with it and

you can't take it when you leave

Don't take it to heart

Then lend me some money

I still need to pay back

my uncle and my dad

I obviously want to lend you money

But in my hand

There's also not much spare change

Didn't you have a bunch of money?

Why would you have this impression?

When you divorced with Ma Huaide

He gave you a bunch of money

At the time

He was worth over a billion

Wealthy people don't have cash

What was given at the time were stocks

His stocks

Now all have negative value

I'm poorer than poor people

My heart feels

Much better

You

What are you saying?

Hearing a friend's misfortunes

Makes me feel a bit better

During the movie

You were snoring

Impossible

Didn't wash your hair again?

Go away

Bill Gates

Zuckerberg

Jobs

They all from elementary school

Started writing code

From childhood started

developing coding logic

For our

After adulthood

Career development

This will establish a solid foundation

Where are your shoes?

Shoes?

By the door

Are you stupid?

We're going to be late! Hurry up

Mom, I don't want to go to tutoring class

Everybody goes

How can you not go?

That's like losing at the starting line

Collision is caused by

the heating up of gas

And then separated into compounds

of ions and electrons...

The environment of each elementary school

And their teaching resources differ greatly

The quality of the school

directly impacts graduation rate

Therefore, a house in a

good school district is a must

If you don't choose a

public elementary school

The fee of private elementary

schools is extremely expensive

Thus, many parents are forced to send

their children back to their hometowns

DanDan, get up quickly

You'll be late again soon

Why are you so feeble?

Pickup your energy

Quickly

Mom

My head hurts

You're burning up

Hang on dear

Mom has a live broadcast at 8am

I'll ask your teacher Ms. Pan

to give you some medicine

It's currently 8:15am, Beijing time

Let's take a look at the

current traffic conditions

Today is a normal weekday

Director

It's my fault, director

My child had a fever today

Thankfully there was backup

Otherwise it'd be a catastrophe

You sick too?

I'm fine, director

Just ran too hard

Ian Ian

You're really leaving?

You were right

I am sick

I went to the hospital

Serious anxiety disorder

Regular depression

Don't provoke me

Acting up again?

Then how long do you plan on going for?

Depends on my mood

Short, one month

Long, two months

Besides Venice

I also want to go to some other places

Ian Ian

Already exchanged some euros

Let's go

Ok

Ah

Didn't you say you were going alone?

Why are there three more people?

Friends

All coupled up

Have you moved on?

Stopped burning

Drink the medicine

Hurry up with your homework

DanDan

You want to get a beating?

DanDan's elementary school problem

I can't solve it

Talk

Why don't you ever listen?

Why don't you understand

how hard it is to be an adult?

You've delivered

6632km this month

Congratulations!

You are this month's Delivery King

Six thousand kilometers

That's four trips home

This lock isn't cheap

Costs 850

Open it

I'm in a hurry to process a case

When there's a problem,

you still need to confront it

Separation is not a solution

Divorce

You already agreed six months ago

I just don't understand

We were so good together in the beginning

How did it turn into today's mess?

Love is love

Life is life

Yuan Fang

I'm not afraid of divorce

But after a divorce

There's just me left alone

I'm a bit afraid of that

Let's have a baby

Everything will be well

We're not even a good fit

Having a baby...

Wouldn't it be even worse for the child?

That's how I grew up

Sis

There's a situation

What situation?

Need something?

Director

Heard the station is

going to lay off people

Including me and Xiao Lv

Back in the day, it was you

who hired me into the station

You can't just let me go

and not look out for me

Focus on doing your job

Don't listen to gossip

Even if there were layoffs,

it's not yet your head

Nobody listens to the other

programs on the station

But traffic and weather reports

There are still people that listen

Come

Check out my calligraphy

Is there any improvement?

Where will I wake up drunk tonight?

Did you drink too much last night?

This is Liu Yong's (Chinese poet) words

He drank too much

DanDan's mom, come quickly

DanDan hit someone again

Were you the one that hit him?

Yeah, what's up?

No no no

It wasn't intentional

Let it go

He also took my toy car

Give it back

It sucked

I already threw it away

Sorry sorry

I'll pay for the toy car

I'll cover it

Paying for the toy car, that's all?

My kid gets beat up for nothing?

It's me that didn't educate my kid well

Won't let it happen again

Exactly

Won't let it happen again

If you hit us again

I'll hit you

DanDan always hits people

This is not a way

But I can't always watch over him 24 hours

Lonely

Lacking care

This will lead to violence

Single-parent family

Especially kids who don't

have the protection of a father

It's even easier for this

kind of behavior to appear

Likes hitting people

It is a child's display of

fear for the outside world

But that is the situation

He just doesn't have a dad

What can I do?

I have an older cousin

Singaporean Chinese

Just divorced last year

He's a cultural scholar

Often posts articles online

He has a couple million followers

It's also a good thing for

DanDan's education in the future

Dad

How come you're in Shenzhen?

When did you come?

You didn't even give me a call

I know you are busy

So I went to find Sheng Qiang first

Come

Where's DanDan?

He went to kindergarten

You guys come in first

There's another person downstairs

Why didn't they come up together?

Giving you a heads up first

So that you are mentally prepared

We've been hanging out in

Shenzhen for three days already

We're leaving today

Just coming to say hi to you

Lemme make an intro

Her name is Wang Er Xiang

Hello

Here

Just come

No need to bring anything

Meeting for the first time

Can't come empty-handed

DanDan's mom

My cousin is at the park entrance

My girl

Here

Eat

Eat

You eat

Call from Ms. Pan (Kindergarten Teacher)

Remember or not

Mr. Qiao who used to sell

peppercorns at the market

Her husband

He passed away last year

She grew up on East Street in that town

The house that sold bean curds

Remember now?

I remember now

When I was a kid

Auntie sold bean curds

at the street intersection

When auntie was young

You were even a well-known beauty in town

No need to mention the past

Not bad, not bad

Here

Can I smoke here?

You feel free

Feel free

She loves smoking

I love drinking

You

You take it easy

I'm finishing mine

This house of yours is pretty nice

In here and out there

All I have left is this house

Here, drink

Dad, stop drinking

Your stomach will start bleeding again

I've already poured it

No more

Listen to your girl

3pm train

Can't be late

Let's head out now

Gotta go?

Quickly

Then let's go

I haven't finished my cigarette

Then nip it

I've already poured it

Just lemme drink it

Stop drinking

Let's go

Grab everything

Let's go

In such a hurry

Here, bag

Here

Put on your shoes

Auntie

Next time you come

This is home

You are so polite

Meeting for the first time,

can't go empty handed

Take it

I...

I need to talk to her about something

Why are you giving her money?

The first time the female side

comes to visit the male side's home

There should be a gift given

This is the tradition back home

How much did you give?

2000

We are not even serious

I'm just having a fling with her

And then you just give

her two thousand bucks

I gotta eat so much bean curd

To eat it all back

Dad

You're being a jerk

So what?

Ms. Li

What do you like?

These couple years

I've even forgotten to think about this

How can you allow that?

You must learn to

Love life

Love yourself

What do you like?

Kids

Your

Kid

How old is he this year?

Six years old

Perfect age

The world of children

Innocent and without evil

Evil and anxiety have not yet appeared

Kids also have kids' anxieties

You're also right

Kids also have kids' anxieties

But at least it hasn't elevated

to the level of evil

Is that what you mean?

Actually

Besides kids

I

Have been focused on studying

The world of adults

For example

The energy crisis

The environmental crisis

Global warming

Local wars popping up endlessly

Actually at the end of the day

This is all human

Evolution

self-protection

And anxiety from survival

What do you think?

The development of the human race

Where will it go?

You're totally right

The money I lent you last time

You said one month

Time's up

Pay me back tomorrow

I ran into some practical problems

Can you give me another month?

Lemme catch my breath

I just knew you were deceiving me

I can't blame others

Can only blame myself

for having a bad memory

Our kid is still here

Why are you yelling?

What are you doing?

Let's keep it if you're pregnant

Nonsense

Another kid pops out

Are you able to raise the baby?

Or am I able to raise the baby?

Let's have the baby

We can raise it together

You say it with such

lightheartedness and ease

You aren't even divorced

Just DanDan alone is

already agonizing me to death

You still think I'm not

in a tough enough spot?

My mom doesn't let me eat hamburgers

Do you want to eat hamburgers?

Only heaven and earth will know

Only you and I will know

Let's go

The reason I brought you here

Wasn't to eat a hamburger

What was it for?

To reminisce

What's reminisce?

Just means meaningful things

What meaningful things happened here?

When you were three years old

I almost lost you here

I was sweating in fear

Why is that worth reminiscing?

Bringing you here also isn't to reminiscing

Dad, isn't it just to eat a hamburger?

What exactly do you want?

I want to say...

Hello Mr. Fang

Do us boys still need to go to court?

I'm rolling debt over debt here

Test results are negative

There's no pregnancy

Impossible

The pregnancy test showed two lines

One dark, one light

One dark, one light

It might be a false pregnancy

Was it morning urine?

I took the test at night

All kinds of conditions can

cause a faulty pregnancy test

For test results

Go with the hospital's results for accuracy

Thanks doctor

Thanks doctor

Shouldn't thank me

expl*si*n

Do you guys understand?

It's like...

DanDan

What's going on?

Didn't I tell you before?

Don't eat things from strangers

Mr. Ma

Are we strangers?

Bro

This kid of yours is actually smart

Telling us about nuclear fusion just now

Bro

Let's step outside and talk

Hey

What a coincidence today

Mr. Ma is in Shenzhen

I just got back last night

Bro

Gimme some face

My son is here

You understand Mr. Wen's temper

Gimme a precise time that

the money will be paid back

One month

Just one month

Mr. Wen says

Give you one last chance

One week

Just one week

Thank you very much, Mr. Wen

See you

Daddy

What are you doing?

Nothing much

Daddy is checking out the evening view

Go to sleep

What's going on?

This urgent

I'm at the edge of the cliff

Give me a hand

What's up?

That house you live in now

Can you change it to my name?

What do you mean?

Under my name

Then I can mortgage it

Last time I borrowed money

was to make a comeback

This time

It's to repay debts

Me and DanDan

In here and out there

All we have left is this house

Without this house

Just staying alive will be difficult

Not only can I not help you repay debts

The money you owe me

Also needs to be repaid immediately

My representing lawyer

Will come find you in a few days

I'm representing your ex-wife

To come discuss the loan repayment

No problem

Drink a little

Eat

This kebab is inedible

Impossible to compare to my kebabs

I...

I learned how to grill when I was 16

My grilled kebabs

Where the aroma drifted

That's where the line started

Later

Started a small household

appliances business

Made quite a bit of money

Had I kept doing that

Would have been great

Back then

The hot money

was all going into entertainment

I also followed the trend

And in the blink of an eye

Became a homeless dog

Hey boss, how come your lights went out?

I feel

You're in an okay state

Pretending

I just feel

If I can do this job

Then I can do that job

Now I'm

just in despair

Complete despair

This despair

It's not despair from failed events

It's despair from the failure

of everything I believed in

Do you understand?

Thoroughly

Here

After this despair

I still struggled to hold on

Do you know what it means to struggle?

Keep battling

Nope

It's faking it

Faking it

All hope is lost

You are still out there faking it everyday

Do you know how painful it is to fake it?

I know

Who hasn't fake it before

Here

Otherwise

Just think about getting drunk all day long

Once drunk

All is forgotten

Bro

You must remember

the lessons that I learned

Here

Can you lend me some money?

I just had a meeting at the station

And came back to give everyone an update

Everybody knows in the

traditional media industry

We are not the only ones struggling

Therefore, the station's plan

Starting next month

Is to keep a lean team and tight operations

The station

encourages everybody

to look out for themselves

If anybody

willingly wants to resign

They can go notify the HR department

Sheng Qiang, can you

go pick up DanDan ASAP?

Sis, I can't

I'm making deliveries

Late deliveries will get bad reviews

Just hurry up and go

DanDan still has two tutoring lessons

I'll pay your wages for

the next couple days

Uncle

How come you have a

windmill on your helmet?

Only the delivery king

(most orders) gets it

Last month, your uncle

was the delivery king

Uncle

I don't want to go to

tutoring lessons today

I want to deliver orders with you

What'll we do if your mom finds out?

Just say I had a fever

What'll we do if your

mom finds out about that?

At worst, get a beating

Uncle

lemme take a break (from school)

Who's delivery?

Are you kidding?

Half an hour late

Trying to starve people to death?

Sis, it's my fault

Delivering food and still bringing a kid?

Sis, this is my son

He was burning up just now

Took him to the hospital

Forget it

Don't let it happen again

Thanks sis

Thanks sis

What took you so long to come down?

What's going on?

Uncle has been sick the last couple days

He didn't want to worry you

So he didn't say anything to you

This morning he couldn't hold up anymore

He...

Drank again?

It's just him alone

No one to keep an eye on him

His gastric ulcer is acting up again

I helped him buy a train ticket

He's already on the high

speed train to Shenzhen

I also wanna go see grandpa

Things at the hospital are unpredictable

Don't add more trouble

My grandpa won't die right?

Don't talk nonsense

Of course not

Look at how flustered you are

Don't lie to me

You be good at home

Yitian

Coming

There's one more hospital bed open

Oh thank god

I heard them say

There's a three months

wait before a bed opens up

They're not kidding

Regular hospital beds

Definitely have a three months wait

I found a VIP hospital bed

But the fee for VIP beds

Is much more expensive than regular beds

And there's only this one left

Take it or not?

I have to take it

The surgery can't wait

Dad

Sheng Qiang is here to look after you

I'm going back first to

grab you some toiletries

Sheng Qiang, he hasn't eaten yet

After the IV is done

Whatever he wants to eat

You order delivery for him

Sis, don't worry

I'm quite familiar with this

DanDan

Did you finish your homework?

Did you finish your dinner?

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

Did you pick up our son?

I didn't

What are you saying?

Our son is missing

Don't scare me

For real

For real

Hurry up and pull up the video tapes

There's a protocol to pull

up the surveillance tapes

Tell us the basic situation first

Hello?

Sis

You gotta come over ASAP

Uncle is in danger

What happened to him?

Initially he was fine

But when he was eating takeout

He snuck a couple sips of booze

Why weren't you watching him?

Where did the booze come from?

I went to get some hot water

He had hid the booze in his bag

What?

Dad...

Dad's in trouble

Then you hurry over and take care of dad

I'll stay here and look for DanDan

Dad

Dad

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Didn't you say you were sick?

Today is your birthday

I totally forgot

It's been a long time since

you had a meal that I prepared

Try it

Thanks

Birthday gift

You are too kind

Open it and take a look

Don't be reckless

A gift for you

And also for myself

Unlocked the puzzle in my heart

You leaving me

You wanting a divorce

You not wanting a child

Now I finally know why

These are two separate things

Has nothing to do with her

After we separated

Only then did I meet her

Yuan Fang

For you, back in the day

I came from Beijing to

Shenzhen all by myself

No family or friends in sight

After we were together

I never thought about myself

This is what I gave you

This is what you gave me

In what way is she better than me?

Let me tell you

I'm so happy I backed out

Without her

I can divorce you

With her

This matter isn't that simple

This woman

I'm not going to let her

off the hook so easily either

Rest assured

I'm not going to toss sulphuric acid at her

I don't want to ruin my hands

I'll give you two weeks' time to consider

Either you get your act together

Start anew

Or else I will take

matters into my own hands

Wish you a happy birthday

DanDan

Sis

DanDan

I'm going to the police to look for DanDan

They found DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

DanDan

Where did you run off to?

Where did you go?

You see

When I returned to our dormitory

I saw this kid standing by the door alone

He said he was looking for you

Why did he go over to my place?

Look how worried your mom is

I went to look for uncle

For you to take me to the hospital

To see grandpa

Yitian

Sorry to trouble you

From this afternoon until now

You haven't even eaten yet

I'm stable now

Go outside and find a restaurant

And grab a bite

It's ok, I'm not hungry

Then just have a sip of yogurt

The leftover yogurt

I didn't drink it

DanDan drank some

Recently, I have dreams everyday

All the dreams are about your mom

Is it because I'm also heading over there?

It wasn't easy rescuing you back

What nonsense are you thinking about?

When I was with your mom

We fought every day

She's been gone five years

I can't even remember what we fought about

She was a tough person

Wouldn't let me tell you

even when she was seriously ill

She's not like me

I'm the scared one

As soon as I get sick

I come over and trouble you

If in this way she was more like me

Perhaps, she'd still be here

It's all my fault

I came back too late

By the time I got to the hospital

I didn't even get to

see her for the last time

It's not your fault

Didn't think she'd pass away so suddenly

She just didn't want to burden you

Let me and DanDan

take a photo under this tree

One day after I pass away

Let him know

Which one is grandma

Leave him something to remember me

Mom, what are you talking about?

When DanDan's a bit older

I'll just bring him back for you

Great

She wasn't scared of death

She was just scared of

saying goodbye to you guys

Goodbye

Goodbye

This is for the next life

Your mom is the type of person

At home

If we had expired food

She wouldn't let us eat the fresh food

By the time you finished

eating the expired food

All the fresh food expired

Together with her

I really ate expired

food for an entire lifetime

In this world

Is there anything

That doesn't expire?

Dad

I want to get drunk too

These troublesome days

I'm a bit scared

When I was young

Your great grandfather died early

There were always people bullying us

So your great grandmother

told me to learn shadowboxing

People didn't bully you

after you learned to box?

There were still people who bullied us

But it was a bit better

After your great grandmother died

It was just me alone

It became my habit

If I was afraid of something

I'd just shadowbox

Afterwards I'd feel a bit better

Others shadowbox to show off their strength

I shadowbox

Because I'm anxious and scared

Check your phone

Paying back 200000 first

Dad's in the hospital

Where did the money come from?

Don't worry about it

Thank you for your help these past days

The money?

Figure out how to return the

other 300,000 back to me

I'm not talking about the money

It's principles

People in the end

All don't have the

courage to face themselves

I figured it out now

Failure is just failure

Faking it is useless

Thank you for also helping me

Giving me DanDan when we divorced

Having DanDan by my side

I know I can't fail

Make sure you have your ticket

Dad

Did it hurt going under the knife?

It didn't hurt during surgery

Hurt when I woke up

Then do you want to get the knife again?

Luckily we rescued you promptly this time

If it's this much trouble again next time

I'm telling you, we

might not save your life

Listen to me

Go back home and pack your stuff

And then move to Shenzhen

I can take care of you

Then what do you want?

All you know is drink and date girls

Yitian

It'll be ok if you just

take care of yourself

I can tell it's not easy for you

So I won't come and

add more trouble for you

I'm leaving

Besides

When your mom comes home

Someone needs to be home

Hello?

Sis

There's a situation

What situation?

The station's cut list came out

You're on it

I'll go find the director

Talk to him for us

Sis

You're on the list

I'm not

I've got an elderly and a little one

If you lay me off

How do I survive?

Jump off a building?

Please

If we're gonna jump, I should jump first

I'm also on the middle management cut list

I don't have elderlies

and little ones at home?

I have more elderlies

and little ones than you

Why lay us off?

Is it because our work

performance isn't good?

This has nothing to do

with work performance

Then what does it have to do with?

We are a commercial radio station

But we have all these programs

often running without ads

We can't bring in any sponsors

Right?

Our traffic and weather reports

There are still people that listen

You even said so last time

It's exactly so

Thus we are getting pushed out

Replaced by new people like Xiao Lv

Cheaper

But I'm a millennial

Just like this I've become an old timer?

I'm in the middle of

writing to myself a question

I think you should also take a look

Sai Weng (famous Chinese horse trainer)

Why did he lose his horse?

Why?

Because this pasture is out of grass

We are still there munching

Can this be blamed on the pasture?

This can only be blamed on ourselves

I'm now no longer your boss

As your old big brother

I need to say a few words to you

Say what?

One, don't cry; Two, don't fight

Useless

We are all old timers now

We still have two weeks before termination

Do your job well until the very end

Don't ruin it at the end

And become a joke

Here

Sheng Qiang

You've been in Shenzhen nearly half a year

Getting burned in the sun all day

Or running around in the rain and wind

Are you tired?

Fatigue

There are two types

One type

is physical fatigue

Another type is mental fatigue

When there's work to do

You can't tell if you're tired

When you can't get an order

And you're just waiting

Then you realize you're tired

That makes sense

Sis

You talk on the radio everyday

The wind doesn't howl on you

Rain doesn't beat down on you

Are you tired?

The radio station laid me off

Leaving at the end of the month

My fatigue is the second type

Mentally fatigued

Your sis up until now

is a loser

In all aspects

Not a single thing gone according to plan

I can only tell this to you

Normally, I don't even

have someone to talk to

What about that lawyer?

It's only when we feel cold and lonely

We get together to find

some warmth and comfort

And it can only be like that

Sheng Qiang

In this world

Who is the nicest to you?

Of course it's sister

Any major problem

And I just think of you

Not truly from the heart

In front of me

Of course you'll say I'm the nicest

Nicest is the nicest

It's not an issue of being in person or not

Then let me ask you

In this world

Who is the nicest to you?

My mom

I took this photo

Mom's been gone for five years already

Auntie's face

I still remember

The world is so big

Yet I feel so lonely

I get it

I ride my electric scooter everyday

Delivering takeout

Seeing the world filled with people

But I'm also very lonely

I'm weaving in and out of traffic

Get yelled at a lot

I deliver food to others

And I have to stomach their anger

But after a while

I just get used to it

Sheng Qiang

You are stronger than me

You are tougher than me

Sis

Don't be afraid

There's still me

I deliver takeout

At least I can make sure

you and DanDan are fed

You didn't even say you were coming back

I could have gone to

the airport to pick you up

Where are my hand bags and jewelry?

Sold

Where's the money?

Company

Emergency

One month

Just one month

The fund that

I've been preparing will be setup

At that time

Your husband

Will buy you a closet full of

New bags and jewelry

Ok?

Go to sleep

I invited you over because I

wanted to ask you something

What thing?

Couple days ago Ma Huaide

transferred you 200,000

Right?

Wasn't he broke?

While I was away in Europe

recovering from depression

He suddenly has money?

Even if he has money

He should be transferring it to me

Shouldn't be transferring it to you

Right?

That was money I loaned to him

He should pay me back

At the time...

Passing through Prague

I bought you a small gift

You're...

You're too kind

Open it and take a look

It's pretty

In Venice

I also bought a small gift for myself

Is it pretty?

It's pretty

Looks like me in college

Senior year

I shouldn't have met Ma Huaide

I grew up in a small town

Rather wish I never

lived a rich person's life

Lived it

And I can't go back

You and your ex-wife

Have any financial ties?

None

You were right

I am sick

Serious anxiety disorder

Regular depression

Don't provoke me

I grew up in a small town

Rather wish I never

lived a rich person's life

Lived it

And I can't go back

Mr. Ma

Let's chat?

Bro

Don't be angry, don't be angry

Bro

Let's talk about it

Let's talk about it

We agreed to repay the money in a week

How many days has it been?

Yes

Where's the money?

Where's the money?

Where's the money?

Everyone calm down

No violence, please

Hello little DanDan

Why is it you again?

Like last time, looking for my mom again?

She's not here

You can go

DanDan

Have you seen this man before?

Has he stayed at your house before?

You want me to be a traitor?

DanDan

Recently

Has your mom talked to you about moving?

Nope

Recently

Has your mom taken you

to the embassy to get a visa?

Nope

That jerk

Asking you out today

Because I need to tell you some bad news

What news?

I've decided to go to New York University

To get my PhD

This is good news

Liu Xue is driving me crazy

So I have no other choice but to go

Didn't you say you'll end it with her?

Yes

I was too naive

In this world

Some things

Is not that easy to end

Seeing you today

Actually the thing I most want to tell you

Is about something else

Mr. Li

Mr. Xiao gave you a call right?

I haven't been here before

To your animation studio

Quite some scale

Normal

Mr. Xiao says

You guys do animation

And need voice over

This classmate of mine

Broadcast background

Mandarin

Level One Certified

She was the star at the radio station

Even though

she was the star

The radio station was blind as a bat

They let her go

You guys need voice over here

It's a great fit

Young girl, young married woman

Middle age, youth

Whatever you need

Very useful

I don't retain staff

If we have projects

that we need voiced over

Isn't project based temps more economical?

I can also do other jobs

Mr. Li

You have

such a big company

You can surely find a position

Can you just come up with a position?

Assistant coming

If the company has a position

You will be notified for an interview

Thank you

Thank you

Work hard

Dream big

Never give up

Play hard

Laugh loud

Remember you are loved

Work hard

Dream big

Never give up

Play hard

Laugh loud

DanDan

Didn't you say before

That you wanted to go back

to Sichuan with grandpa?

You need to start elementary school soon

A good elementary school

Mom can't find one

A good job

Mom also can't find one

How about

Let's move back to Sichuan?

Back home

Mom has connections

I can get into the local TV station

You can get into a local key school

Besides

We can also look after grandpa

I'm not going back

I have a lot of connections here too

Normal elementary schools

Don't they also have a lot of students too?

Grandpa also won't allow me to go back

He said

Shenzhen is the window out into the world

Mom also wants to

venture out into the world

But mom is tired

Mom

are you getting scared?

I am scared

What are you adults so afraid of?

Dad

We are afraid of losing loved ones

Loved ones lost

What's left

Isolated and without help

Without assistance and without support

Where's the money?

Where's the money?

We are afraid to fail

Get beaten down by failure

Don't know how to get back up

And forgot the original intent

Be grateful

Don't

Listen to me

This is not for us

This is for you

We are teaching you a valuable lesson

To honor your promise

We are afraid of bidding farewell

We are afraid of bidding farewell

Bidding farewell to people we love

Bidding farewell to unforgettable love

Bid farewell

Past warmth and love

All become occasional recollections

We are afraid of change

People changed

Things changed

Then it's not the present that we want

And also won't be the future that we want

I came today

Just to ask you one thing

Auntie has a question for you

Have you hit someone before?

I have

All the kids at kindergarten

are afraid of me

Mr. Wen

I'm sorry

Don't move

Auntie also wants to hit someone

And wants to delete this person

How to delete someone?

By deleting him from my memory

What exactly happened

between you two?

If I can explain it in

one or two sentences,

would breaking up be this difficult?

Would breaking up be this difficult?

Who are you going to delete?

This person in the photo

Who is he?

My husband

When you were in a position of strength

I toasted you out of respect

You said your stomach hurt

Refused to drink

But when others toasted you, you drank

Today

I'm re-toasting you a drink

Don't know if today

Your stomach feels alright?

We all hope to in our prime years

greet life

without any fear or reservation

Take off with me

Escape to a faraway place

Bring an end to everything else

What is there to consider?

We're all adults

We can be in charge of ourselves

I also want to

My car!

What do you mean your car?

You owe people money and

still drive around in a Mercedes?

We'll help you change this bad habit

But I've got an elderly and a little one

I can't just walk off and leave everything

You

Me

In our prime years

Who wanted to

live a trifling life

Ms. Li

This is your last broadcast

Hello listeners and friends

I'm Li Yitian

Because of rain

Currently all major roads

The North Ring Road

Binhai Road in both directions

As well as roads heading out

of the city towards the airport

Are heavily congested

Fuxing Road

Nigang Road

Both have accidents

We just received an updated weather report

Tonight from afternoon to evening

Rain will turn to heavy showers in the city

Everyone should stay at home if possible

Tomorrow during the day,

there are thunderstorms in the city

Moving into tomorrow night

in the southern mountainous regions

expect a spell of steady rain

intermittently accompanied

by brief, gusty winds

keep your safety top of mind

Today is my last time

Broadcasting the

traffic report for everyone

Thanks everyone for always being there

Hope everyone has a smooth trip

Travel safe

I looked at the test results

Tested positive

You're pregnant

Already three and a half months

Why are you just coming now?

Go get an ultrasound first

And check the condition

of your uterus and fetus

And then come back and see me

Fifteen weeks pregnant

Fetus is developing well

Placenta and amniotic

fluid show no abnormal signs

The fetus is formed

Already has a heart beat

Take it easy

Don't worry about mom

You guys just enjoy every day

I'm not afraid of dying

I'm just afraid of Yitian crying

DanDan

You ask what are we afraid of?

The things that we are afraid of

We say them out loud

Then we have to figure

out ways to confront them

To come to peace with life

To come to peace with ourselves

Mom

All the things you are saying

I don't understand

But I know

You guys being adults

It's not easy

DanDan

You guys being kids isn't easy either

Are you scared?

Grandpa says

When you are scared

Shadowbox a bit and then it'll be ok

Four Seasons

Four Seasons

Flourishing

Flourishing

Now, these kinds of small gigs

Are all done by young girls

Teddy

I'm not picky

If there are these types

of small gigs in the future

Please also keep me in mind

OK

I'll pay you tonight

WeChat transfer

Grand Opening

Mom

Are we still moving back to Sichuan?

We'll listen to DanDan

Not moving back

Mom

You're not scared anymore?

Because I'm scared

I have to be brave
