Dad,
my teacher
called today.
He talked about
filling the application form.
What did he say to you?
He advised me
to apply for
Beijing Jiaotong University as my first choice.
But I said
I need to talk about it with you.
Good.
Don't you always want to apply for
that university?
I'm on your side.
You both are here today,
so I want to
talk about it with you.
Right. Let's talk about it. Right.
Actually, I've thought about it for a long time.
I want to say
that I still want to study abroad.
Did
Zhao Huaguang
say anything to you?
He did talk to me.
But I thought about it.
I feel
it's a good thing.
And the guidance teacher said
that if conditions permit,
to study abroad
is good for me without doubt.
Why do you think of
studying abroad again?
Don't you always want to study in Beijing
with Ling Xiao?
But going to study abroad may be
better for me.
Our family didn't have the conditions,
so I didn't
think about that.
But now I feel
perhaps the advantages of study abroad
outweigh the disadvantages.
Firstly,
Dad, you don't need to afford
the expenses when I study in the university.
Then a lot of burdens on you can be relieved.
What burdens do I have?
It is not that hard
for our family.
But you work too hard.
Look. You even fell ill a few days ago.
That's because of decoration.
I was tired.
You have problems with your lumbar disc
and your shoulders.
You knead dough every day.
You haven't straightened your back these years.
And you have been using plasters.
We adults are like this.
We all work hard.
Look.
I'm not the only one who works hard.
But I don't want you to
work so hard.
I don't want you to be so tired.
You should
hire one more person
and rest more.
Wherever I am, I'll
rest assured.
Dad,
I really want to study abroad.
Let me go.
Actually, it doesn't make any difference
where I go to university.
Studying abroad is just like studying in another city.
After graduation, I'll come back.
Well. Why did I
think of that?
After hearing what Ziqiu said,
I feel studying abroad
has only advantages.
It doesn't have disadvantages at all.
Am I right?
Studying abroad is a good thing.
How could
the two of us
not allow you
to study abroad?
Am I right?
Am I right? Haichao.
Haichao,
he is waiting for your answer.
♫Darling♫
♫Sometimes♫
♫I feel really exhausted♫
♫And I would♫
♫shed tears♫
♫in loneliness♫
OK.
♫This is what growing up is like♫
Go.
Go.
♫We used to rely on each other♫
♫bearing the burden♫
♫and suffering the loss♫
♫but we still look forward to the future♫
Don't cry when you eat.
Or you'll choke.
Your dad
is unwilling to part with you.
♫Maybe you are trying hard♫
Actually, he is happy.
Have the pie.
♫to forget that♫
Have the pie.
A lot of oil has been added.
It smells good.
♫just as I am♫
When you are abroad,
you will miss it.
♫Try hard to grow up♫
Are Ling Xiao and Ziqiu
going to fill the application form?
Yes.
Ling Xiao's first choice is Peking University
and Ziqiu's first choice is Beijing Jiaotong University.
Both of them surely will be admitted.
But, thankfully, the exam was over
before his mom had an accident.
Otherwise, Ling Xiao would have been affected.
How is his mom recently?
Ling Xiao said she has come round.
At first, they didn't dare to tell her
that her husband and mom
had passed away.
So they kept what had happened from her.
They could kept what had happened on this side from her.
But how could they keep what had happened on that side from her?
So, they failed to keep it from her.
She was too sad and couldn't accept the fact.
Right.
Nobody will accept the fact if such a thing happens to them.
By the way, Mingyue,
I want to buy shoes
for Ling Xiao and Ziqiu,
but the money I've saved is not enough.
I still need 200 yuan.
Can you lend it to me?
I'll pay you back when the term begins.
How about this?
Anyway, Ling Xiao's birthday is coming.
I'll buy a pair of shoes as a birthday gift for him.
You can buy a pair of shoes for He Ziqiu
as a gift to congratulate him on going to university.
No, no. How could that do?
I must send the gifts myself.
Otherwise, if Ling Xiao knows,
he'll be mad with me.
Well.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Ziqiu?
Why are you still sleeping?
You even locked the door.
Get up!
You are back.
Dad.
I'm going to the construction site.
OK.
Dad.
The two of you,
go and buy some food later.
There is no food at home.
OK.
You stay at home.
Did you have a quarrel?
A quarrel?
No?
Why do I find it a bit awkward?
Let Ziqiu tell you.
Or
you can talk
when Ling Xiao is back.
Are you talking about
celebrating Ling Xiao's birthday?
When he is back, let's celebrate his birthday.
Let's talk about it then.
I've got to go.
What gift should I buy
for Ling Xiao?
I really don't know what I should buy.
How about I buy him a pair of sports shoes?
OK.
OK?
OK.
Son,
happy birthday.
Wish you good health,
safety and happiness.
Ling Xiao,
happy birthday.
Take good care of yourself.
Don't be too tired.
When you are back,
our family will celebrate your birthday again.
Ling Xiao,
happy birthday.
Come back early.
Li Jianjian misses you at home every day.
My dearest brother,
happy birthday.
Thank you for coming to this world
18 years ago
and becoming my brother.
I love you very much.
I love you till the end of time.
Till the seas dry up and the rocks decay.
Love you. Love you. Love you.
Be happy.
Your mom is already like this.
But you can still smile.
I have to go back in a few days.
I've talked
to Jin.
I ask him to hire a care worker.
After he goes off work,
he'll come to help.
Anyway, you are going to university in September.
During this period,
stay here
to take care of your mom.
She can't do without people around.
I have to go back in a few days.
Did your dad ask you to go back?
No.
I haven't been home for long.
I miss my sister.
You
Your mom is already like this.
But you still want to go back to see your sister.
She cried hard yesterday.
She was on a tranquilizer.
Didn't you see that?
The mother knows her son best.
When you were little, because of you,
Yun died.
But you didn't shed a tear.
When your mom divorced and abandoned you,
our whole family scolded her.
But now, it seems that
your mom knows your best.
You are a cold-blooded animal!
Why didn't you go to bed?
Why did you turn off the light?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to Brother.
Happy birthday to you.
Brother, make a wish.
On my birthday,
I never make a wish.
Why?
Because
I've never seen
miracles happen.
So I don't believe that there are gods.
There are.
But gods live in the heaven.
It is too far away.
You must make a wish in your heart
so loud that it can be heard.
Really?
Yes.
Did you make a wish loud in your heart?
Blow out the candle.
I'm sorry, Brother.
It was too late when I went to the cake shop.
Only such a small piece of cake is left.
It doesn't matter.
Perhaps I'm destined to
get such a small piece.
No.
Let's eat the cake.
I'll get forks here.
I hear
people indeed grow up
in a flash.
Which moment?
Ling Xiao!
You are finally back.
I miss you so much.
Get down. It is hot.
No.
I want to be like this.
I'm not hot.
I don't care.
Get down. Get down.
No, no.
Come on.
Jianjian
is not like a girl at all.
Eat shrimps.
Thank you, Dad.
Have a chop.
You're welcome.
You've become thinner.
Your dad hasn't been back for two days.
I guess he went to wait at a spot to capture bad guys again.
Did Ziqiu play outside?
Yes.
He went to play with his classmates.
I haven't seen him for two days.
He enjoys himself like mad.
Don't criticize him.
If Ling Xiao wasn't back,
you would have played with Qi Mingyue.
Since Ling Xiao is back,
I won't go anywhere.
I'll stay with him at home.
It's OK that you stay with him at home.
But you can't
hold your brothers like that outside.
Got it?
I didn't hold him.
You didn't?
When I was in the kitchen, I saw it.
You jumped up on Ling Xiao's body fast
like a monkey.
Your legs were swinging.
Is that like what a girl should do?
I,
I just held him. What's wrong with that?
There are so many people kissing in the street.
Why don't you criticize them?
I don't care about others' children.
You are my daughter, so I must discipline you.
Look. Look.
Even Ling Xiao is laughing at you.
He is not laughing at me.
He is happy when he sees me.
Am I right?
You talk a lot at dinner.
Just listen to what I say
for a little longer.
When you go to university in Beijing
and want to listen to me
at meals,
you won't listen.
Cherish the time.
I want to have soup.
Eat and then have soup.
No.
I want to have rice mixed with soup.
Rice mixed with soup.
I think you look like
rice mixed with soup.
You are just back. Take a rest.
Come on. Eat the watermelon.
You eat.
Essence. Open your mouth.
You eat first.
Come on.
Tissues! Tissues! Tissues!
When we were little, we always wanted to grow up.
After we grew up,
we feel that childhood was so good.
Our dads were young.
And we could
just be kids securely.
Ling Xiao,
I want to tell you something.
I want to
tell you something too.
You say first.
Jianjian,
ask your two brothers to eat.
OK.
You dare to drink Dad's beer.
I'm going to university in Singapore.
What did you say?
Even if my mom is discharged from hospital,
she still needs long-term rehabilitation
before she can walk again.
Chengzi is unwilling to leave with our uncle.
If she really leaves,
my mom's mental state
will become worse.
Our school helped me apply for
universities in Singapore.
A medical college, after looking at
my profile
and results of the National College Entrance Examination,
was willing to accept me.
I have to go there next week.
I have to take care of my mom in the hospital.
Didn't your mom leave you
to Li Jianjian?
Didn't your mom abandon you?
Then why do you have to take care of her?
Chengzi is your sister.
Isn't Li Jianjian your sister?
Are you insane?
Ziqiu,
after I leave,
I'll count on you to take care of Li Jianjian.
Why do you count on me?
I'm going to the UK soon.
I've been preparing materials
these days.
I've accepted Zhao Huaguang, that b*stard,
as my dad.
Zhao Huaguang, that b*stard.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
I mean
we both are going to leave.
You'll go back to your home to live with your own mom,
and I'll go back to my home to live with my own dad.
We both are b*stards.
We are both ungrateful.
What are you doing?
Don't fight. Don't fight.
Why,
why are you fighting?
What's wrong with you?
Just what happened?
Why are you fighting?
Tell me!
That's what happened.
OK. Let's talk about it when you are back.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
OK.
Let's hang up.
Ling Xiao,
your dad is in Fuzhou
and will be back tomorrow morning.
Let's talk about it
with him when he is back.
There's nothing to be talked about.
You are not allowed to go.
Jianjian.
You are not to go either.
You don't allow either of them to go.
But the deadline for application has passed.
You, you, you want them to repeat the year?
Repeat the year.
How about this? Get into your room. Let me talk to you.
No. I don't agree.
Be good.
No.
I don't allow you to go. I don't agree.
Didn't Ziqiu say
that he'll be back as soon as he graduates from university?
Ling Xiao also said
that he is going to university in Singapore
and there's no difference between that
and going to university in Beijing.
It takes three or four hours to fly to both the places.
That makes
no difference, right?
If that makes no difference,
why didn't they dare to tell me?
I'm confused.
What's actually going on
in our family?
Aren't those irresponsible people
outsiders to us?
Since childhood, you've been telling me
that as long as we take care of each other
and support each other,
we are family,
and that no matter what others look at us,
as long as we know
who is good
and close to us, that will be good.
Yes, yes, that's what I've been telling you.
But things are not that simple.
You are so angry.
Will your two brothers
feel good?
They feel bad.
Do I feel good?
Whatever decision they make,
they don't need to tell me,
or ask me for permission.
And they don't need to do
what they've promised me.
Sorry.
Even if I talked about it with you,
you wouldn't agree.
Right. I don't agree.
Why did they ask you to
take care of her?
You are still a student.
What about those adults?
She is my mom after all.
♫Soulful dreams♫
♫fade to gold♫
♫No telling where they go♫
Jianjian.
Jianjian.
♫While you slumber♫
♫Slowly flow♫
♫I still care♫
♫It's not fair♫
♫We ain't never♫
♫Come back in time♫
♫Wish days would never hide♫
♫Raindrops down on my face♫
♫Old alleyways♫
♫Just fade away♫
♫like in visionless haze♫
♫One day♫
♫And someday♫
♫We will be brave♫
♫I know♫
♫We will♫
♫If rain starts to fall down♫
♫So wear it♫
♫and carry on♫
♫Those days with love and bound♫
Get out!
♫Those days with love and bound♫
♫Ready to be strong♫
♫If rain feels to stay on♫
♫Maybe, it just got lost♫
♫There'll be sunbow somehow♫
I know you are angry.
♫When we you look up high♫
But you need to eat.
♫It will♫
Don't be hungry.
♫shine sometime♫
♫You're always there walking me long♫
♫Whenever something let me down♫
♫You make me feel where I belong♫
♫Face myself♫
♫If rain starts to pour down♫
♫You've taught me to fly on♫
We
actually have nothing to do with each other.
Right?
You are a neighbor.
Ziqiu is fostered in my family.
We are not family.
Right?
No.
When you grow up,
let's be together for a lifetime.
OK?
I don't believe that.
If you both leave,
you won't be my brothers.
Ziqiu?
You
Jianjian
cannot accept
the fact at the moment.
Give her some time.
She'll be OK.
I just feel
sorry to her.
You don't need to feel sorry.
Because you
have been together
since childhood,
and have never parted with each other.
You suddenly said you are going to leave,
you hate to part with each other.
I understand.
However,
anyway,
when you grow up,
you all have to part with each other.
You'll get married,
start your own family,
be busy with your own things,
and live your own lives.
I won't get married.
I'll stay with you all my life.
Don't be silly.
When children grow up,
they all leave their parents.
If they really don't leave,
they live off their parents.
Then I'll stay with Li Jianjian and protect her.
What if she gets married?
She can't get married.
What if she feels wronged?
You
Well.
Let's talk about it
after you grow up.
Dad,
when I'm away,
what if Li Jianjian
is bullied?
Then she should
fight back.
So should you.
When you are abroad,
and we are not around,
if you are bullied,
you have to rely on yourself to fight back.
There will no other way.
Ziqiu,
people suffer from
a lot of injustice in their lifetimes.
The older you are,
the more you have to bear.
One day,
you'll find
the whole world
is on your shoulders.
The whole world?
Your parents,
wife,
and child.
aren't they your whole world?
What about brothers and sisters?
They have their own world.
But in my world,
it'll be enough to have you guys.
Ziqiu,
don't think too much, OK?
Life is just like
a long-distance race.
You need to accumulate your energy.
Accumulate your energy
for the second half of the race.
Think about this. Back then,
when Mr. Ling and his family
moved here,
and I met you
for the first time,
you were such a little boy.
In a flash, you'll go to university.
Time flies.
However,
in retrospect,
although it was not easy,
I've spent most of my life.
Don't think too much.
Take one step and look around before taking another.
Besides,
didn't you say
you'll come back as soon as you graduate?
What do you want to say?
Say it.
Dad,
I'm going to the UK.
♫Thinking of the first time that I held your hand♫
Are you really not upset?
I'm really not upset.
Ziqiu,
♫you held me so tight as if I was everything to you♫
from the bottom of my heart,
I hope you can
have a bright future.
From the bottom of my heart, I hope you can
♫One is getting bigger♫
learn what you want to learn
and do what you want to do.
♫while the other is getting smaller♫
Moreover,
I just let you
♫Time brings us♫
be out for a few years.
After graduation, you must
♫together in our lives♫
come back at once.
Got it?
♫Good night♫
♫Goodbye♫
♫My children♫
♫maybe when you leave here♫
♫your way home will get longer and longer♫
Well.
We are all with you.
♫Walk slowly♫
With you.
♫and don't look back♫
♫I'll be here♫
It'll be fine.
♫looking forward♫
♫with your shadow♫
Jianjian,
it's time to eat.
Where is she?
You went to your grandma's?
You are already on the way?
You won't go to those training classes
during the holiday?
Why didn't you tell me that
in advance?
I'm starving.
Dad.
Yes.
We thought something happened to you.
What's wrong with your face?
I'm fine.
Aren't you going to
take part in
a carving competition?
You are not going?
OK. OK.
When you arrive at your grandma's,
call me using the fixed phone.
Talk in detail then.
Haichao,
Jianjian went to her grandma's?
Ling Xiao was just back yesterday.
What's wrong with your face again?
Answer me.
You were just back yesterday.
The two of you fought outside?
Well. Well. You
Go and wash your hands.
After you eat,
let Ling Xiao tell you.
Tell me what?
You were just back yesterday.
Then the two of you went out to create trouble.
Are you interrogating criminals?
Go and wash your hands.
Are you qualified as his uncle?
You can't take care of her,
so you want my son to.
You even asked to go to university in Singapore.
How could you have such an idea?
You are used to being an official.
So you want to arrange for anyone you want?
Stop.
Has Ling Xiao
been brought up by Chen Ting's family
or your family?
You didn't take care of him.
After she had an accident,
he is her own son now?
Then are all our family
your grandchildren?
You want to hear something pleasant?
I haven't said anything unpleasant yet.
I'm telling you.
The people of your Chen family
are all morally bad.
You are selfish and self-conceited.
Yes.
I'm talking about you.
It is hard for everyone.
It is hard for you.
So you make things difficult for my son?
Don't tell me you feel bad for the child.
At his grandma's funeral,
Ling Xiao, as the grandson,
has knelt for seven days.
Chen Xu, the granddaughter,
has knelt for less than three days.
Then you let her go back to school.
Now you're telling me you feel bad for my son.
What did you do earlier?
From today on,
Ling Xiao won't consider you as his uncle.
Let's not visit each other during Spring Festivals or other festivals.
Our family doesn't need you as our relative.
Calm down.
Don't be so angry.
Ling Xiao,
can you
change your application back?
The medical college in Singapore
has accepted me.
Why didn't you call me
to talk about
such a big thing?
You are going to university. You are going abroad.
You are going abroad. You know?
How come you want to
learn medicine?
Is it because of
your mom's accident?
No.
Then why?
What are you doing? You strike the table and get angry with
the child. Come on.
You spoiled him. I'm telling you.
You didn't talk about
such a big thing with me.
He didn't talk about it with you either, right?
What's the use of talking about that?
That's something
that has been settled.
He has been
very sad.
But you still scolded him like that.
♫Darling♫
♫Sometimes♫
♫I feel really exhausted♫
♫And I would♫
♫shed tears♫
Surprise!
♫in loneliness♫
Ling Xiao, happy birthday.
Congratulations. You are 18 years old now.
After the storm
comes the rainbow.
♫Bearing the burden♫
Love you forever.
♫and suffering the loss♫
Ziqiu,
don't be too touched.
♫but we still look forward to the future♫
Accept my sincere love.
We can't live together for the latter half of the year.
You can't help me wash my socks.
♫Maybe you are trying hard♫
I'll miss you very much.
♫to forget that♫
Love you.
Kiss. Kiss.
♫just as I am♫
♫Try hard to grow up♫
I'm confused.
What's actually going on
in our family?
Aren't those irresponsible people
outsiders to us?
And look, this is the statue of Confucius.
♫Even if you hesitate, you will carry on.♫
After you get in,
you must do this.
Bow before it sincerely.
Right. I don't agree.
Why did they ask you
to take care of her?
♫Bravely♫
You are still a student.
What about those adults?
♫The so-called dark♫
Write my name on it.
And then?
Answer the questions.
Just let me tell you.
♫is just your imagination♫
Since childhood, you've been telling me
that as long as we take care of each other
and support each other,
♫Life♫
we are family,
and that no matter what others look at us,
as long as we know
♫in a roundabout way♫
