03:28Why didn't you go and wake me up?
03:31I could have cooked for you.
03:33Ma, it's okay.
03:35I like instant noodles.
03:52Hello.
03:54Come in.
03:55We're just passing by.
03:56We brought you some fruit.
03:58Thank you, you're so kind.
03:59Please, come in.
04:00Oh, all right, so...
04:01It's fine, keep your shoes on.
04:02I haven't cleaned yet.
04:03Okay.
04:04Please, come in.
04:05Come in.
04:06Come in.
04:07Chen Ting.
04:08Yeah?
04:08Are you not feeling well?
04:09Oh, I'm okay.
04:10You see, I just woke up from a nap.
04:14Sorry, I didn't know you were coming.
04:15I don't have anything prepared.
04:17I brought Mrs. Chen for a visit.
04:19We won't be staying, dear.
04:21Please, sit down.
04:21How come Lingxiao is eating at this time?
04:25He just wanted a snack.
04:27He did have lunch, and he really likes instant noodles.
04:30Say hi to them.
04:31Hello, grannies.
04:32How are you?
04:33How sweet.
04:34Hello, dear.
04:34We're good.
04:35Want some tea?
04:36Of course, dear.
04:37Anything will do.
04:38He's such a nice kid.
04:40Don't let him make tea.
04:42He might get burned.
04:43It's fine.
04:44He can do it.
04:45Chen Ting, you've been here for about a month now, right?
04:49Why do you always keep yourself locked in here on your own?
04:53Well, I think it's too hot outside.
04:54I don't want to go out.
04:56You're becoming a recluse.
04:58Even Lingxiao barely goes out.
05:00Look at him.
05:01He's playing all by himself.
05:03See, people like us,
05:04often, we're at Hai Chao's Noodles.
05:06We eat good food,
05:08and we talk to each other.
05:09We play mahjong.
05:10It's a lot of fun.
05:11Yes, it is.
05:15But I don't play mahjong.
05:16It doesn't matter.
05:18He'll learn how to play.
05:19To be honest, mahjong is more about socializing than anything.
05:23Look at you, keeping yourself indoors all the time.
05:25The only other person you see is Ha Ping, right?
05:28That's why you keep fighting.
05:33Oh, look.
05:34Thank you, my dear.
05:35Goodness.
05:36Lingxiao, how kind.
05:38Lingxiao, eat your noodles now.
05:40Ma, I've had enough.
05:41I want to play.
05:44Go ahead.
05:47That boy is really something.
05:49So thoughtful.
05:50You came for a reason.
05:52Is it because Ha Ping and I had a fight?
05:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:57Families will always quarrel.
05:59But yesterday,
05:59we were having dinner at Hai Chao's,
06:01and suddenly, in came Ha Ping,
06:03so we talked about you.
06:05Oh, what did Ha Ping say?
06:07Oh, he said good things.
06:09Yeah, he did.
06:11Really?
06:12I'm telling you the truth.
06:13I'll be frank.
06:14Frank, I understand your situation.
06:16When I was younger, about your age,
06:18I used to be the town school teacher.
06:21In three years, I gave birth to two kids.
06:24I wanted to be a good mother.
06:26I had no choice but to quit my job,
06:28and then I stayed at home,
06:29took care of the kids,
06:30and managed the household.
06:32See, my husband, he's a doctor.
06:34He's not much help with housework at all.
06:36He's a busy man.
06:38He would work all day and all through the night.
06:39Oh, but I was tired, too.
06:42Every time I saw him,
06:43I couldn't help but get upset.
06:45He doesn't understand.
06:48Right.
06:50Just like with Ha Ping.
06:52Every time I need help,
06:54he's out helping others.
06:55But that's what his job entails, dear.
06:58It doesn't matter.
06:59He should have time for a family.
07:01Oh, well, that's right.
07:02I'm not very good with words,
07:03but that's what I meant.
07:04It's his job to help his wife.
07:08But, my dear,
07:09after all is said and done,
07:11men work hard
07:12so they can support their families.
07:14He's the breadwinner.
07:15You're the homemaker.
07:16We play our parts.
07:18Ha Ping has a strong sense of responsibility.
07:21When you take care of the kids,
07:23he can focus on providing for you.
07:37This smells good,
07:38and it tastes good, too.
07:42My dad can cook so many things,
07:44like braised pork,
07:45fried pork chop,
07:47pepper shrimp,
07:48and my favorite sweet and sour ribs.
07:51Mmm, smells so good.
07:54Mmm, tastes so good.
07:57Mmm.
08:15Oh, wow.
08:17You're drinking?
08:18You celebrating?
08:19Why don't I join you?
08:22Straight alcohol?
08:24No food?
08:26All right.
08:27I'll make you some food, okay?
08:29Misha.
08:30Can you play outside?
08:34Hey.
08:37It's late at night.
08:38Why do you want him outside?
08:39Get out.
08:41Hey!
08:41What is going on here?
08:43Listen, I've had a long day.
08:45Please don't give me a hard time.
08:47So it's my fault?
08:48Mrs. Fung and Mrs. Chen.
08:51They came today to lecture me.
08:52What's that about?
08:53Why would they do that?
08:55Hey, Li Xiao!
08:57What did they say?
08:58You don't know?
08:59Huh?
09:01They knew so much.
09:02How would they know
09:03if you didn't tell them?
09:04I don't tell anyone things about our family.
09:08I swear to you,
09:09I never told those women to come bother you.
09:12Fine.
09:12Let's forget about it, huh?
09:13I'll go change clothes, okay?
09:15I have to work overtime tonight, okay?
09:18Don't you dare leave the house, Haping.
09:20Oh, hey.
09:21Chen Ting.
09:21My co-worker's kid is sick.
09:23I told him I'd cover his shift, okay?
09:24Your co-worker's kid gets sick.
09:26You help out.
09:27Where were you when your own son was sick, huh?
09:29Chen Ting.
09:30Where were you?
09:31Don't drag our son into this conversation, huh?
09:33You're done.
09:34No, I'm not.
09:35Enough!
09:42Chen Ting.
09:44Can you lay off me?
09:46I'm begging you to lay off me.
09:49I beg you.
09:52I'm so tired.
09:55I'm exhausted.
10:00Fine.
10:04I let you.
10:09Hey, Chen Ting.
10:11What are you doing?
10:12Don't go with me.
10:14I'm leaving you.
10:16I'm going to do my daughter.
10:18I'm going to my daughter.
10:20I'm going to her.
10:23Mingxiao?
10:24I don't want to be here.
10:25Have you eaten?
10:26Do you want me to leave?
10:28I want to leave her.
10:29My dad made fried pork chops.
10:31My dad's pork chops are the best in the world.
10:34I hate you.
10:36I hate you so much.
10:42Let's go.
10:44Come on, let's go.
10:46Come on.
11:11Eat slowly, kid.
11:13Slowly.
11:14You'll choke.
11:18Is it good?
11:19Mm-hmm.
11:34Look, Lingxiao.
11:35I've glued the pieces together.
11:42Your little sister is now an angel.
11:45She and my mom are together.
11:47And after many, many years here,
11:49we will go where they are.
11:51When we get there,
11:52we'll see them both again.
11:54Who told you that?
11:55My dad.
11:56My dad knows everything.
11:58He's lying.
12:00They're dead.
12:02Dead means they're gone.
12:05Well, if they're gone,
12:07where did they go?
12:08They're gone forever.
12:11You'll never see them again.
12:12Why is that?
12:15Because everyone dies.
12:17And when they do,
12:18you just burn their things,
12:20tear their photos up,
12:22so that you can forget.
12:24Your dad did it.
12:25Come.
12:29Come.
12:31Come.
12:56I'm going to show you my papa's secret.
13:07See, this is my mom.
13:22And these are also my mom.
13:41My mom's clothes and mom's shoes are over there under the bed.
13:45That didn't burn them.
13:47My dad will never forget my mom.
14:05My mom smells nice.
14:07My mom smells like this.
14:09Good, huh?
14:11I know about his secret.
14:13When my dad's alone, he misses my mom a lot.
14:16Why is that?
14:17Do you miss her?
14:18I miss her.
14:20But I have to pretend I don't miss her because dad will get too sad.
14:25But when you miss your mom, what do you do?
14:27Then I draw her.
14:28I like to draw my mom's face.
14:31When I'm alone, I also miss my mama.
14:33But my dad can't know.
14:37When you're alone, you can also miss your sister.
14:39Come here.
14:40Just don't let your mom and dad know.
14:42Mm-hmm.
14:55Dad can't know we were here.
14:57Do you want to watch Mr. Black?
15:16Come, it's sweet and sour pork.
15:20It's Sichuan bold fish.
15:26It's sweet and sour spare ribs.
15:28Let's go!
15:29Hurry!
15:50Noodle day!
15:51Come on!
15:52Come on!
15:52Come on!
16:08Come on!
16:08Hey, Chen-Teng!
16:10Can I eat my dinner without all that racket?
16:12Yeah?
16:13Who's making a racket now?
16:16Hold still.
16:17Just hold still.
16:18Oh, looks like a worm.
16:19Look, it's crawling out of your nose.
16:20My goodness.
16:21My goodness.
16:24Hey.
16:25Don't eat too fast.
16:26Slow down.
16:33Yes.
16:33Hello?
16:35Is this Li Hai Chao?
16:37It's me.
16:38It's me, Ho Mei.
16:39Ho Mei?
16:40I...
16:40All right.
16:41Calm down.
16:41Tell me.
16:42Can I borrow some money from you?
16:44Huh?
16:44My mom is sick.
16:46I have to go home.
16:47I'm so sorry.
16:48Also.
16:49I was hoping that you could take care of Tzu Chu even for a little while.
16:52Uh, sure.
16:53Don't worry about it.
16:54Uh, I'll pick him up.
16:55Okay?
17:04Uh...
17:07I have something to attend to.
17:09It's urgent.
17:10You two take your time.
17:11Okay?
17:12Once you're done eating, you can go together and play at Mrs. Chen's.
17:15Huh?
17:16Wait for me there.
17:17You hear me?
17:18Oh.
17:18When you leave, lock the door.
17:20Take care of Jen Jen, okay?
17:22Right.
17:23I have to go now.
17:31Come.
17:31Come, Tzu Chu.
17:32Come inside.
17:33Come.
17:36This is going to be your room.
17:37Huh?
17:38You can stay here.
17:39I can fix you up a bed somewhere here.
17:43How is it?
17:47Let me show you around the house, huh?
17:49This is the kitchen.
17:51That's where I'm gonna make you good food.
17:53Huh?
17:54And that's the toilet.
17:56Here's the living room.
17:58Ah.
17:59Ah.
18:00See all those toys?
18:01You can play with them.
18:02Huh?
18:03Ah.
18:04That over there is Lee Jen Jen's bedroom.
18:07Ah.
18:08Do you want a little tip?
18:09She's a bit grumpy.
18:11She gets so mad.
18:12But you're much older than her.
18:14A big brother.
18:15You have to be patient.
18:17Mm.
18:18Good boy.
18:19So when are you going to marry my mom?
18:22I'm what?
18:25What do you mean?
18:26I saw you earlier giving my mom money.
18:29It was a big bunch of hundred yuans.
18:31And now you're letting me live in your house.
18:34Ah.
18:36Zucho.
18:37Come here.
18:39So what if I gave your mom money?
18:41My second aunt told me about it.
18:43If a man gives a woman money, it's a betrothal present.
18:47They're going to get married.
18:55Betrothal is a big word.
18:57Your mom accepted her betrothal.
18:59That means from now on you're my son.
19:02You have to listen to me.
19:03You understand?
19:08Hey.
19:10Zucho.
19:11Stop it.
19:12You're scaring me.
19:12I was just kidding, okay?
19:14Pa.
19:16Huh?
19:17Pa.
19:26Right.
19:29My son.
19:30Pa.
19:34Okay.
19:34Let's go clean your room, son.
19:37Yeah.
19:39Let's go.
19:42My son.
19:45You can't stay at my house.
19:46Jen-Jen.
19:47My dad is not your dad.
19:49Stop calling him that.
19:50Hey.
19:51Don't be mean to Zucho.
19:52You hear me?
19:57What now?
19:58What's the matter?
20:01Hey, no.
20:02Hey.
20:03Why are you biting him, Jen-Jen?
20:05Let him go.
20:06Let him go.
20:07Let go.
20:08What are you?
20:09A dog?
20:09Enough!
20:18No meat for you, Jen-Jen.
20:21Enough of this, Jen-Jen.
20:23You're acting like a feral child.
20:24Let's head down to a civilized...
20:26Hey.
20:26Come on.
20:27Listen to Lee Hai Chao.
20:29I heard he's brought home his girlfriend's son.
20:31They say the woman had to go home to take care of her sick.
20:35He's a sick mother.
20:36I don't think he imagined that Jen-Jen would get so mad at him.
20:39Hear that?
20:39She's so upset.
20:49Hey.
20:50Lee Chao.
20:51Aren't you hungry?
20:55He's not hungry.
20:56Every meal time.
20:57He's at Chen-Jen's house.
21:00Chen-Ting.
21:01We have to cook for our son every meal time or he'll go hungry.
21:05This is why he's always rushing to the neighbor because he's hungry.
21:07You treat this place like a hotel.
21:10So what do you even care?
21:20Go away!
21:32Go away!
21:35Go away!
21:47Go away!
21:48Go away!
21:56Go away!
22:16Oh, gosh.
22:37Sushou?
22:51Sushou?
22:57Oh, oh, oh.
23:00Kill all the enemies.
23:02Kill all the bad guys.
23:24Thank you, Dad.
23:28You want to spit it out?
23:30You dare.
23:32You know I cooked that, so you better eat it.
23:34Eat it, eat it all up.
23:38You have to memorize your lessons, okay?
23:46When did you bring this back?
23:48That's a really good photo of us.
23:50What happened?
23:54Give it to me.
23:55Hey.
23:56Hey, Chen Cheng.
23:57That's the last photo of us.
23:58Let the poor boy keep it, okay?
24:00Give it to me.
24:01Hey, go.
24:02Go to school.
24:03Give it to me!
24:05Give it to me!
24:06Stop it!
24:06Stop it!
24:07Are you crazy?
24:08Why did you hit our son?
24:09Of course I'm crazy.
24:10I should have choked on the walnuts!
24:12Enough!
24:13Will you stop bringing that up?
24:14We know it was an accident, and you're not to blame!
24:17Right!
24:18You're not blaming me, and I have to thank you for that, huh?
24:21She was her daughter, but you never cared about her!
24:24And now here you are, judging me from your high horse!
24:27I'm the one to blame her at all!
24:28I'm not judging you!
24:29It was all my fault!
24:30But can we stop bringing this up?
24:31Let's move on with our lives!
24:33You can move on!
24:34You can leave this house any time!
24:36But I have to stay here like nothing has gone wrong!
24:41I have to stay here like nothing has gone wrong!
24:44And you?
24:45You?
24:46Why'd you give her that?
24:47Why'd you give your sister those walnuts?
24:49Hey!
24:50Will you stop talking about walnuts?
24:53You've said enough!
24:54It's not like I'm lying!
24:56It's his fault!
24:57He killed his sister!
24:59Will you just stop talking about it?
25:01He killed my daughter!
25:02Shut up!
25:24Well, I'll start talking about little 1942 LOL!
25:25Hey, Ling Shao!
25:30I'm trying to save her!
25:34Okay, that's okay!
25:43Do you study all at all?
25:43Do you
26:13Auntie, you don't want Lingxiao anymore?
26:27Can I have him? If you don't want him, I'm looking for a brother!
26:36He's all yours!
26:38Yay! Thanks, Auntie!
26:43Yeah! I have a brother! I have a brother!
26:47Brothers are the best!
27:16I have a brother!
27:20A piece of walnut got stuck on the poor girl's windpipe, but the door was locked from the outside, so
27:25Lingxiao couldn't call for help. The two children were trapped and one of them choking. When Changting came home, the
27:30girl had already been dead for a long time.
27:32Who told you about this?
27:34They used to live in Bailey Staff Housing. An odd of my lives there. I was visiting her the other
27:39day when she told me about it. This Changting? She couldn't stand living there. Her neighbors judging her, so they
27:44moved here!
27:46It was an accident! How could she have known?
27:48She was just three years old, that little girl. It's such a tragedy. A child looking after a younger child?
27:55What kind of mother would think that's all right?
27:58Don't say that. She's been having a hard time.
28:00You neighborhood committee! You can't see straight. If you ask me, Hopping should divorce her so they can all live
28:06in peace. It's long overdue. If I knew any kind single lady, I'd introduce her to him. Remember?
28:13When I introduced Haichiao to that nice woman, he's taken her son in. The boy's calling him dad now. Hey,
28:19see this? This is for being a good matchmaker. It's from Heumei.
28:23Oh, looks good, huh? Oh, wow, it does look nice, huh?
28:27Hey, Haichiao, when are you and Heumei getting a marriage certificate?
28:32Hey, it's too early for that. We're still dating.
28:37Hey, Haichiao, you better invite us to the wedding party, okay?
28:40Oh, yes, he should. Look, he's blushing.
28:45Hey, it's your turn. Oh, it's my turn? There.
28:59Hi, Chao. I'm here to get my boy.
29:01Shh! He's sleeping.
29:04Oh, he's sleeping?
29:07Why do you always come home late?
29:08I'm working on a case. I've been very busy.
29:11Oh. Have you had dinner?
29:14No, I haven't.
29:15I have food in the kitchen. Come in.
29:18Oh, okay, I'll come in.
29:20Yes, go on in.
29:21I read him two stories and he's out.
29:23Oh.
29:46I read him two stories and he's out.
29:50He's great.
29:53Let's go.
30:07Hi, Chow.
30:08I know that ever since our arrival, we've been causing you trouble.
30:14What trouble? It's not trouble.
30:16What's one more plate?
30:23Hmm, this is good.
30:30Have you heard about my family problems?
30:37Well, the neighbors are being mean.
30:40They're bored, so they talk.
30:45It entertains them.
30:48I know what they're doing.
30:50I'm a police officer.
30:52Oh.
30:54These neighborhood gossips,
30:56the worst they can do is talk about you and your problems.
31:00In one ear, out the other, then on to the next story.
31:03That I understand.
31:13You know who I don't understand?
31:16Chen Ting.
31:18I don't know what's wrong with her.
31:21Every day, the situation's just getting worse.
31:25Every day, she has to shout about something.
31:29And...
31:30I really don't know what to do anymore.
31:33And I swear I've been doing my best to comfort her.
31:48Have you heard about my story?
31:52Yeah, I heard about your story.
31:56It was just a year ago.
31:58It must be hard.
32:04When, uh...
32:05When Hoi Yin died,
32:07I was very upset.
32:09And the neighbors,
32:11they came to comfort me.
32:14But you know what?
32:15The words they used to comfort me were like knives.
32:19Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab
32:20when you're most vulnerable.
32:29I felt guilty.
32:32Why did I...
32:35let her decide?
32:38Why wasn't I able to convince her?
32:42How could I have believed that...
32:44being positive can cure her?
32:47Why didn't I listen to what the doctors told us?
32:51So I get you.
32:53Regret is so difficult to live with.
32:58If you ask me,
33:00Chen Ting
33:01is finding it very difficult to forgive herself.
33:05So she acts up.
33:22When she was pregnant with YunYuan,
33:27it took three months for us to know.
33:30She wanted to keep the baby,
33:33and for that she lost her job.
33:35And I...
33:36I got fined by our unit.
33:41They took away my merits.
33:43Goodbye promotion.
33:46I almost lost my job.
33:49But the truth is,
33:50I don't regret that experience.
34:09You know what I still regret?
34:14Not taking good care of the kids.
34:20Not taking good care of YunYuan.
34:26Huh?
34:31But life has to go on, am I right?
34:35So,
34:37you toughen up.
34:40You just hang in there.
34:44If a parent gives up,
34:48then what of the kids?
34:51That's right.
34:53For the sake of the kids,
34:55you have to move on.
34:57Right?
34:59You know what, Hai Chao?
35:01Ling Xiao wasn't like that before.
35:03He was a very happy child.
35:06He loves to talk to people.
35:08But now, look.
35:14He barely utters a word.
35:17What has that kid done to deserve this?
35:24Look at your Jen-Jen.
35:26Such a nice kid, huh?
35:28She really is.
35:30Oh, I know.
35:31Oh, Jen-Jen, my gosh.
35:33She's something else.
35:35She's unique.
35:37She's unlike me.
35:38And unlike her mom.
35:39I don't know where she gets her personality from.
35:42That girl,
35:43is so optimistic for no reason.
35:46Just be thankful.
35:49All right then.
35:50To optimism.
35:55And to our departed.
36:00Cheers.
36:03To our departed.
36:17Eat up, eat up, eat up.
36:23Now I know why Ling Xiao always comes down here to eat.
36:27These are the best pickles in the whole city.
36:29So good.
36:31Eat as often as you like.
36:32Treat this as your home.
36:34I don't want to be a burden.
36:35Are you kidding me?
36:37What burden?
36:38You're not going to be a burden.
36:39Just think about it.
36:40The kids will have each other.
36:42Am I right?
36:42Well, you don't have to convince me anymore.
36:45Come as you like.
36:47Here you go.
36:50And it gets better.
36:51Say you want to have noodles.
36:54Tell me.
36:54And I'll make it.
36:55I want more chops tomorrow, okay?
36:58Hey, by the way.
37:01This is one neighbor of ours.
37:57Jen-Jen, breakfast time.
38:00It's your first day of school.
38:02Don't be late.
38:17Don't take long.
38:19You better step it up.
38:20You'll be late.
38:23Hi, Pa.
38:24Here's the breadsticks and rice cakes.
38:26Okay.
38:27Tell Ling Xiao it's breakfast time.
38:28Okay.
38:44Li Jin-Jen, that you in there?
38:46You want to smell my poop?
38:48Hurry up.
38:49I need to pee.
38:50Don't be a pest.
38:51I'm concentrating.
38:52I'm concentrating.
38:53I'm concentrating.
38:55I'm concentrating.
38:59I'm concentrating.
39:01I'm concentrating.
39:03I'm concentrating.
39:08I'm concentrating.
39:15I'm concentrating.
39:25How many times, don't do your business while I'm brushing my teeth?
39:29Sorry, sorry, it won't happen again. Now get out.
39:34I'm taking this with me.
39:36Hey, you can't do that!
39:42Luckily, I have a plan B.
39:55I'm screwed.
40:17Jen-Jen, come on!
40:19Coming!
40:22Hey, listen up. Our Jen-Jen is in grade 10. You're in grade 12.
40:27You're in the same school. Don't let her get in trouble.
40:30I don't want to be a fixture at the principal's office.
40:33Remember, you're her elder brothers.
40:35Don't worry, Dad. I'll look after her.
40:38Don't worry, Dad. I'll look after them.
40:45Jen-Jen, shout out your rice cake!
40:46Jen-Jen, shout out your rice cake!
41:10Jen-Jen, shout out your rice cake!
41:43一生的思 몸一生的思緬一生一樣
41:46越来越长 慢慢的走 不用回望 我会守在这里 陪着你的背影 去仰望
42:25我向你住关的旧房子 有一天你寻找新的日子就像是一片叶子
42:30飞向更远的树枝
42:43那些岁月就像只是昨日Goodbye
42:45goodbye my children也许你离开这里
42:55也许回家的路 越来越长
43:06我暖的走 不用悲伤我会守在这里
43:14陪送你飞向远方
43:32我会守在这里 陪送你飞向远方
