SNACKS OF HONG KONG, CHINA

- Why have I never seen you before?
- I'm in the choreography department.

‪NANWU

- Are you from the art college?
- Yes, I am.

- That's great.
- Well, thanks. What about you?

- Are we in the same grade?
- Maybe.

What's your major?

Computer science.

I'm going to the bathroom.
We'll talk later.

- Turn right up ahead and right again.
- Thank you. Bye.

See you later.

Chen Junwen.

What's up?

Who was that girl just now?
Is she from our class?

Why don't I remember there is
such a good-looking girl in my class?

She's definitely not from our class.

She was at the next table.

She asked me where the bathroom was.

I don't know why she asked me
instead of the waitress. Oh my God.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Sit down.

What?

Did you get over the pain
of being a backup so soon?

Are we friends?
Why are you talking so harshly?

Just shut up.

It's been so many days since we graduated.
Have you found a job yet?

It's hard.

I heard

that there are still a lot of graduates

this year who haven't found a job.

Scary?

We're not like Sang Yan,

who found a high-paying
and less stressful game design job

in Nanwu right after graduation.

It's not that I went to them,

- but they came to me.
- That's right.

Just like when you had a girlfriend.

Many girls came to you
to confess their love to you,

but I've never seen you say yes.

YIHE

Excuse me. Am I disturbing you?

I'm a reporter for Yihe Daily.

I just saw the book you were reading.

You seem to be studying journalism.

Our newspaper office is right next to it.

I'm guessing

you're studying
or just recently graduated, right?

Recent graduate.

That's great.

I'm researching a topic right now.

It's about why young people

don't want to go back
to their hometowns to work.

Would it be possible for me
to interview you about that?

There must be a reason

why they don't want to go home.

Can you tell me more about that?

For example,

what are your reasons?

Okay. Sorry to interrupt.

YIHE DAILY. YE YUYANG. REPORTER

ZHAO YUANDONG

- Hello?
- Jiang.

You graduated,
so you should come back to Nanwu.

Mr. Zheng said
he'd treat you to dinner today.

Thank him for me.

I'll stay in Yihe.

Why?

I miss you.

If you come back,
I can see you more often.

Miss me?

In my four years of college,
you came to me only once.

And that was during your trip

to Yihe with Zheng Kejia.

I don't want to go back to Nanwu or Beiyu.

Also,

don't you know why I left?

3,614 DAYS

You're back.

Why are you wet? Wait for me.

You neither took an umbrella

nor asked me to pick you up.

It rained so suddenly.

I was working.

You've been so tired lately,

so can you ask for a leave to rest?

Don't worry.

Let me do it.

Can I go to Yihe soon?

My sister won't be back
for summer vacation

and says she's got a boyfriend.
He's quite old.

My family is worried
and wants me to go there

in case he's a liar.

Or I can go sometime later.

When?

In a couple of days.

If nothing happens, I'll come back early.

It's good to visit Zhi.

She's a little girl.
It's really unsettling.

Don't argue with her.

Shall I book a hotel for you?

I know that place better than you.

Take a shower now. Don't catch a cold.

And…

remember to bring an umbrella next time,

but you'd better

call me.

Wen Shuangjiang.

Do you have something on your mind?

No.

I said I'm fine.

But I feel

you're not concentrating at all.

I'm just a bit tired.

Then get some rest.

If you don't pester me.

Good night.

‪No matter where you are, I'll find you.

Wen Yifan.

No matter what,

I'll take you.

Who can just take anything from me?

It's so early.

Check-in hasn't even started yet.

Are you sleepy?

I'll stay with you for a while.

I'll leave as soon as check-in starts.

I won't be gone long,

but you insisted on coming with me.
Are you so sad to see me go?

Of course.

Looks like check-in has begun.

I'll go through security
and get ready to board.

Okay. Stay with me this far.

Let me know when you get home.

Be safe.

I'll miss you.

See you later.

I'm home.

This is…

my home.

This is my home.

‪Wherever you go, I'll coming with you.

Sang Yan.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm in Yihe.

Call me if anything happens.

I won't put it on mute.

I really don't know why you came with me.

Dian asked me instead of you
to feed the cat.

Actually,

I've decided to join Help Me,

so I'm here to apprentice, okay?

Sure.

So much cat food.

When will it be finished?

Dian.

Dian.

Dian.

Su Haoan.

I feel a bit strange.

You're amazing.

Come here.

She told me she's only away
for a day or two, but why is the closet

and dresser empty?

Hello.

The user you're calling
is temporarily unavailable.

What next? She doesn't seem to be online.

I'll call Sang Yan.

Stop the car.

Airport. Hurry up.

Su Haoan. Su Haoan.

- She's not back yet?
- How come you're so fast?

By air?

I thought her room was too empty,

and I was anxious, so I…

Did she go back to her mom?

No way.

TO SANG YAN

Sang Yan.

I'm…

I'm in no position to ask you to forgive
me for leaving without saying goodbye.

It was like that last time,
and it's the same now.

I don't expect you to understand me,

but please believe

that I have reasons why I must leave.

Do not miss or look for me.

I wish you peace and joy

in your future life.

Shuangjiang.

Hello.

The user you're calling
is temporarily unavailable.

Hello.

The user you're calling
is temporarily unavailable.

Please try again later.

Hello.

The user you're calling
is temporarily unavailable.

What is your relationship with Wen Yifan?

Lovers.

And before she left,

did you have any heated arguments?

No.

And were there any disputes between you,

such as relationship-related or financial?

No.

So she just left this letter
and disappeared?

Can you try to contact her family?

I don't have
their contact information, so…

We'll try to contact her family for you.

You can sit over there and wait.

Over there. You can sit over there.

Thank you.

We just contacted Wen Yifan's mother,
Ms. Zhao Yuandong.

She told us

that firstly, she doesn't approve
of your relationship.

Secondly, Wen Yifan
often disappears suddenly,

and they've had fights lately,

so she thinks this time,
Wen Yifan is throwing a tantrum.

Isn't her mom anxious at all?

Based on her tone, it seems like it is.

We also learned

that her father is deceased

and that she has no siblings.

To your knowledge,

does Wen Yifan have any close relatives

or friends or anything like that?

She has a close friend,

but she doesn't know
where Wen Yifan is either.

In fact, we often see
this kind of situation.

Young people like Wen Yifan

may not have any attachments.

How about this?

Give me your contact information.

We'll be in touch if we hear anything.

Don't worry too much.

She's an adult,

so she has the right to stay or go.

Can't you do
any more investigation for me?

Based on the information you've given us,

we don't know if she's in danger,

so,

we have no right
to invade a citizen's privacy.

Please understand.

Young man.

For this kind of thing, I think,
you, a boy, should take it easy.

Do you really have no attachments at all?

Wen Yifan.

Where are you?

HONG KONG, CHINA

Have a drink.

No.

Don't be anxious.

Maybe she'll come back alone one day.

Yes, one day.

It could be four or five years from now.

I don't believe
she'll never answer her phone.

In fact, after all these years,

we're not sure what she's been through.

When I called the police,

I suddenly realized
that she had no family.

We are all her family.

I hope she feels the same way.

See what you want to eat.
There's some here

and on the back.

And there's something just made.

In the back part, too.

We just made it. What do you want?

- No. 8.
- No. 8.

Okay. No problem.

No. 8.

Maybe it's because

I didn't make her trust me enough

that she chose to suffer alone again.

Su Haoan.

Take a vacation for me tomorrow.

I need time

to find out.

Hello. I just booked a room.

Do you want to rent it for a long time?

You have to pay the rent first.

Wait a minute. Come and pay later.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Okay.

ZHIBAI VILLA

BING'S TEA STALL

This place is famous for its milk tea.

Look. It was on the news.

See what you want.

I'll go in first and pick a table.

WANTED: SERVER
WAITER, RECEPTIONIST, DISHWASHER

Decided what you want?

- Iced lemon tea.
- Iced lemon tea.

- Excuse me.
- Come on.

We'd like iced lemon tea
and iced milk tea.

With extra cream.

Iced lemon tea and iced milk tea.
Extra cream.

Thank you.

They talk fast here.

If you don't understand, I can teach you.

Thank you.

I'd like to ask.

Is there any restriction
for mainland students

to work here?

Not anymore,

and applications
for graduate school are open.

Then I'll take you to the school office

tomorrow to register.

Great. Thank you.

You're welcome.

What are you gonna do?

It's gonna be tough working here.

- Look. So many people.
- Extra cream.

- Thanks.
- Iced milk tea.

- Iced lemon tea.
- Thanks.

It all starts again.

No matter how hard it was,
I had to hold on.

Before, Dian lived
with her grandmother for a while.

I remember I went there once.

She adored my dad,

so she adored me.

That time

was probably the happiest she'd been

since her dad passed away.

Two.

Come on.

It gets better.

Supplemental tile of melding quad.

Excuse me.

Ma'am.

Is this No.72, Haiyue Branch Road?

Yes.

Do you know Wen Yifan?

I've lived here for seven or eight years,
but I've never heard of her.

Have any strange girls come here recently?

Not that I've seen.

Thank you. Sorry to bother you.

Could you have left Nanwu?

YIHE UNIVERSITY

Sang Yan?

I'm Xu Xinxin, Wen Yifan's roommate.

Sorry to bother you.

Wen Yifan wasn't really
special in college,

but she didn't talk much.

When she was looking for a job,
she didn't seem to want

to work in her hometown,

so she did an internship at Yihe Daily.

So, did she ever say

why she didn't want
to go back to her hometown?

Anyway, ever since she started college,

she's applied to stay at school
during winter and summer vacations.

We were kind of surprised,

but she didn't explain.

Thank you.

And how is she working at Yihe Daily?

To be honest, actually,

we didn't have much contact
after the internship,

so I don't really know

what happened to her afterward.

Thank you.

Wen Yifan?

I remember.

She had such a personality,
so how could I not remember?

So, what happened then?

What's your relationship with Wen Yifan?

Her boyfriend.

All I can tell you is that someone

sexually harassed her in the workplace
but didn't make it.

The editorial director at the time
was fired because of it,

and we did everything we could

to get justice for her
to restore her reputation,

but she wasn't happy about it

and quit her job.

Maybe she wanted to escape.

Young people these days always escape

when they are under pressure.

What kind of escape is that?

If Wen Yifan were your daughter,

would you let her continue
to suffer from this kind of pressure?

Please take that back.

In Nanwu or Yihe,

there is no sign of you

or any answer.

Now,

there's only one last place left.

Why are you back so late?

I was at a place to study.

What are you studying for?

I think you were
just slacking off on purpose.

There are so many people
waiting for dinner at home.

Why couldn't you come back early to help?

Oh my God.

Are you fooling around

with some punk again?

I heard from my mom

that Wen Yifan disappeared again.

Why did you say "again"?

I remember it was after
the College Entrance Exam.

One day, she suddenly disappeared

without taking anything.

She never came back after that.

What was the reason for that?

She didn't tell you?

I was preparing for my exams,

so I didn't know anything.

Ask someone else.

So, when will your family come back?

My mom and my uncle moved to Nanwu.

Moved to Nanwu?

Where do they live?

I think you can just ask Wen Yifan's mom.

I really don't know anything.

Thanks.

Can I see

the room she used to live in?

That's it.

This used to be her room.

I'm home.

Are you going back to this shabby place?

Have a seat. I'll go pack.

Let me talk some more.

Fan.

Happy New Year.

Come here if you're free.

Right.

Why are you so ignorant?

Fan. Don't be so upset.

Be strong.

NOTES, SAMPLING METHODS, SAMPLE PRINCIPLES

TARGET: NANWU UNIVERSITY!

I'll come to you tomorrow.

I'm going back to Nanwu soon.

Don't come.

When?

When

the acceptance letter is sent to me.

TARGET: NANWU UNIVERSITY!

BUILDING 7

Zhong Siqiao.

Last time you said that her mom
lives in Building 7, right?

Thank you.

Sang Yan.

Sang Yan.

I'm Fu Zhuang.

It's really you.

- Are you going to work?
- Yes.

Yifan quit. You didn't know?

Is she quitting because
something good will happen to you?

Congratulate her for me.

Fu Zhuang.

When did that guy come here to work
as a security guard?

That guy?

He's been here
for almost a month. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Then I'll go to work.

I'll be late.

Tell Yifan we'll party soon.

And congratulations.

Take it back.

EXPRESS DELIVERY

Don't be sad.

I understand if she didn't tell me
during the entrance exam.

We were kids then, so she didn't trust me.

But now, we've both grown up.

Am I terribly unqualified
to be her friend?

Actually, everyone has something

they can't just say.

We don't have to beat ourselves up.

I just want to help her.

She's alone again now.

How lonely will she be?

DIAN: QIAO, IS IT CONVENIENT TO TALK?

IT EXTREMELY IS!

Hello?

Hello, Qiao.

Dian, where are you?

We've been looking all over for you.

I'm sorry to have worried you.

What's going on?

Are you never going to come back?

When you left me,

it took me a long time to adjust.

Then I worked very hard

and kept myself busy,
so I wouldn't feel so lonely.

You have to think
about Sang Yan, if not me.

You've just fallen in love.

Is he alright?

No.

Didn't you say he was always so bright

and energetic?

But now, he isn't bright at all.

Tell me where you are.

He's going crazy looking for you.

I'm sorry.

Dian, I'm begging you. Come back.

Qiao.

I'm calling you to tell you I'm safe.

Don't worry about me.

I didn't want to leave
without saying goodbye.

I just want you all to be okay.

I left not because I didn't love you.

- Dian.
- Take care.

THE STORY IS NOT OVER YET…

Would you like to order something else?

No, thank you.
