In Our Prime (2023) Movie Script
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
Explosion
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
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
Explosion
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
