Successor (2024) Movie Script

1
This is Xihong People's Radio.
It's time for news summaries.
Grandma, time to take your medicine.
This way.
Be careful, son.
This way.
What year is it?
[Premium Rice]
How is there still a place like this?
Watch your step.
Ms. Ding?
Jia Qiqiang?
Ma Jiye?
Jiye,
have you had lunch?
Where are your parents?
Still in bed.
I'll go wake them.
Guess we came early.
Do they have a different body clock?
This way, please.
Mr. Ma,
we just want to lend a hand
and help Jiye out.
Don't overthink it.
My friend,
how did
the poverty relief in Nanguan District
miss your family?
You've got all your limbs.
How did things turn out like this?
Don't worry.
Ms. Ding has talked to me.
Your kid's education?
I'll pay for it.
I appreciate your kindness,
but we really don't need help.
Put simply.
This decor you're seeing
is a choice our family made.
So, I'd rather
our quiet, simple life not be disturbed.
Don't let your pride
hold your kid back, okay?
Here's the thing.
Jiye's getting self-conscious.
He won't even speak up
in English class.
How about this?
Let him stay with us.
Big house.
My kid regularly gets
online lessons from great teachers.
Your boy can just
grab a chair and sit aside.
He's fine off camera.
Isn't it great?
Here.
Have some coffee.
This one's Jamaican beans
from this year,
and this one's made from Yunnan beans.
They're both great in their own way.
They taste wonderful.
Try them.
Would you like a cigar?
This is a Cohiba.
I don't want Chenggang to smoke
too much.
It's bad for his health.
Here.
Quick, smoke.
It'll go out soon.
What's it called again?
Cohiba.
Diva.
Mr. Jia,
what business are you in?
Nothing big.
Car maintenance.
I have about a dozen stores
around the province.
Small business indeed, right?
But hey,
many a little makes a mickle.
If you ever run into trouble,
Chenggang can lend you a hand.
And what's he going to pull me into?
I'm sorry, Ms. Ding
and Mr. Jia,
but let's call it a day.
My mother
always needs a nap around noon.
Didn't you guys just wake up?
Can I play a round?
You've never played this before.
You might break my tablet.
What a "humility"!
What a "humility"!
This is a pure "humility"!
The word is "humiliation".
Sorry about this, Mr. Jia.
Ms. Ding,
I'd stay away from this family.
Jia Qiqiang, let's go.
See?
The poorer, the more they show off.
Diva?
Don't play walking. It could freeze.
Jiye,
are those two
really your parents?
Of course.
Jiye's grandma,
Jiye's birthday is this weekend.
Stick to the usual.
That teacher said he was
too shy to speak in English.
Take care of that.
Look.
He's already hooked
on video games in no time.
Jiye,
we're off to work.
I've done the laundry.
Hang the clothes up later.
Got it!
Look at that.
Beautiful!
You're almost 60. Act your age.
Pay attention to details like this.
Our son's growing up.
It's easy to slip up.
Don't worry.
Can you still drive?
Why not?
You're blocking the rearview mirror.
Why not use the door?
Too slow.
[SUCCESSOR]
Eat light at night. Fill up at noon.
A healthy breakfast makes you bloom.
Off to school, Grandma.
Wait!
"Hat straight, shirt buttoned tight."
"Your socks and shoes
should fit just right!"
Go ahead.
Bye.
Be careful on your way.
Heading to school?
Morning, Jiye.
Morning!
Attention, everyone.
Jiye's left.
He'll reach the target location
in about 20 minutes.
Look at our young master.
Since that top elementary school,
he's been losing weight fast.
The school itself isn't the key.
The key is the distance.
Running five kilometers every day
would slim down even a sumo wrestler.
Ma Jiye?
Grandpa, go faster than Ma Jiye!
- Pass him!
- Alright!
A kid just outran you.
Aren't you ashamed?
Young Master is 50 meters
from the target location.
Counting down now.
Five,
four,
three,
[Qiuya Road]
[Qiuya Road]
two,
one!
Oh, gosh.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay, boy?
OK.
That's a nice blue hat.
Where did you get that from?
Stick to the textbook.
Don't improvise.
Excuse me.
Is there a post office
in this neighborhood?
Yes,
there is.
So tell us,
where is it?
Go straight
and turn left
at the first crossroads.
It's between the bookshop and the...
grocery.
OK!
Thank you.
You are welcome!
Helping with his English?
Make some noise when you come up!
Ms. Li,
find a way
to improve his posture, too.
Add a dance class or something.
Discuss that with Mr. Ma.
That's not in the training plan.
Oh, Jiye's mom,
just go shopping.
What's the point?
I never get to wear these clothes.
Sometimes I wonder
if Chenggang is trying
to toughen up
our son or me.
What kind of life
am I living every day?
Wang, time to clean up.
Got it!
[Elementary School Affiliated
to Xihong No. 7 Middle School]
Here he comes!
Jiye!
My dear grandson!
Jiye!
Jiye!
Balloons!
Good thing Wang spotted you in time.
What were you thinking,
dressed like this
and bringing all these toys?
It's my grandson's birthday,
and I wanted to surprise him.
What's wrong?
If he asks,
I'll say I won 500 yuan
on a lottery ticket I found.
Why are you so worried about details?
Mom, Jiye's a smart kid.
Those toys obviously cost thousands.
What are we, rich?
And how long since he quit this?
Why tempt him back into it?
You can eat it,
but my grandson can't?
If I don't, it'll melt!
Well, I could've eaten it!
You're arguing with me now?
Wang, hurry up!
Get Grandpa ice cream!
I'm not craving it anymore!
If that's the case, change your clothes.
When Jiye's home,
we'll celebrate his birthday happily.
Not changing!
I would love to have you
stay with us and Jiye,
but you two never cooperate.
How should I...?
Ma Jiye!
Zhou Xiaohu?
Want a ride in my dad's fancy car?
Just kidding!
Whose kid is that?
He's so cocky!
Dad!
Dad, that was my classmate.
His family's super poor.
He has to run to school every day.
Poor kid.
Compared to him, we're really lucky
to have what we do.
In the future, this Highlander
will go to you or your brother,
whoever gets into a top university.
Got it?
[A few years ago]
Why are we stopping here?
Where is this place?
Let me show you around.
This is where I grew up.
This place has great feng shui.
Everyone here was poor,
and my family was the poorest.
"Here stands a humble home,
but virtue makes it glow."
Back then, my grandma
was bedridden for years.
I carried her up and down the stairs.
All the household chores, big or small,
were done by me.
I even had to run home
during school breaks
to make my grandma herbal medicine.
With your story,
you could've been one of the country's
"Ten Outstanding Youths".
I used to complain
about how unfair life was,
but looking back, I realize
all my success today
comes from the hardships
I endured as a child.
Darling, you were truly
"an ambitious youth
who rose above hardship".
The reason I've been able
to get back up every time I've fallen
is because I'm more resilient than most.
I know better than anyone
that I should appreciate
everything I have today.
"Through bitter trials,
one becomes a better man."
Growing up in this environment,
it's no wonder you succeeded.
What a visionary!
So wise!
I am truly blessed
to have you as my wife.
So I've been thinking,
while Nugget's still young
and doesn't remember much,
we should bring him here
to live humbly.
What was that?
Raise him poor.
Ma Chenggang, are you out of your mind?
I've been praising you,
and you've been setting a trap?
Did I marry you just to suffer?
This isn't fair!
Your first son grew up
living the good life.
You spent millions
sending him to study in the US.
Nugget is your son too,
and you want him here?
No way!
Not a chance!
Tomorrow, we're changing Nugget's name
to Ma Jiye!
[Successor]
When I'm gone, he'll be
my successor!
Who wants your legacy?
And that name,
really?
Jiye,
we're taking you away for a bit.
Dad messed up with his first son,
now it's on you.
Have you talked to your parents?
It's handled.
Let's go.
Leave Nugget here!
What are you trying to do?
This is outrageous!
Let my grandson out, now!
Didn't you say you
took care of your parents?
I only gave one pill each,
and didn't dare give more.
How considerate.
Now's our chance.
Go!
Nugget, get out of the car!
Stop right there!
Honey, hurry and chase them!
He won't eat
if I'm not the one feeding him!
Mommy and Daddy!
Oh, my in-laws are here!
What a bunch of liars.
Honey,
were they cleared?
No need.
Mom and Dad
are being very cooperative this time.
You're underestimating them.
They never keep promises,
and always gave Jiye money secretly.
Mom, Dad, come on in.
You traitor.
Ungrateful brat.
Jiye's back!
Hurry up, Mom.
Let's wait inside.
Please.
You're back, Jiye.
Hi, Jiye.
[Three-Flavor Bookstore]
Mr. Zhou, I'm returning this book.
Wonderful!
[How the Steel Was Tempered]
Mr. Zhou,
are you feeling sick?
This book is just so moving.
It's about a poor boy
who eventually becomes a steel warrior.
Want to read it?
I'll lend it.
A steel warrior?
Can he transform?
Nope.
[Legend of Shuke and Beita]
I'll borrow this book then.
Wang,
why do we use washboards
to wash clothes?
It's a matter of physics.
The ridges on them increase friction
between your hands and the clothes.
"A sharp sword is forged through honing,
and plum blossoms smell sweet
after enduring bitter cold."
Hello, sir!
Young Master.
Hello, young man.
[Happy Birthday]
Jiye,
who's getting the first slice of cake?
My mom.
My birth was your hardest day.
Good boy.
Happy birthday.
The second slice
is for Grandma.
My other grandma always says
I'm strong now
because you took care of me
when I was little.
Heard it plenty.
My mom says it every day.
Your grandma took
such great care of you.
She'd even take out
the grape seeds
before feeding you grapes.
Do you remember how chubby you were
when you were little?
You'd sit on that swing
with no pants on.
A nanny
would fan you,
while another
fed you snacks.
Nugget, let's go out to sea!
You'd splash around
in our big swimming pool.
Grandma, eat cake!
What are you doing?
Here's some good luck!
Come and catch me!
Don't run!
This is my fault!
I can't protect you from them!
Mom,
what are you doing?
Dad, what's the pool
Grandma was talking about?
A bathhouse.
She played pretend with you
when you were little.
Your dad's loaded!
He's filthy rich!
Mom, what are you doing?
Can you stop talking, please?
Send two people.
No need for this.
Let's get some air
and wash your face.
They all act poor in front of you!
But behind your back, they live it up!
I can walk by myself!
Jiye,
come say goodbye!
Coming!
Grandpa,
you're leaving without eating again?
They always find a way.
Dad,
you keep the money.
You'll need it
for Grandpa's birthday gift.
Jiye,
did you figure out
our monthly spending like I asked
the other day?
On average, we spend
9.5 yuan a day on groceries,
so that's 285 yuan a month.
Gas costs 3.1 yuan per unit.
We use under 3 units a day.
Electricity is 0.55 yuan
per kilowatt-hour.
We use one daily.
Grandma's herbal medicine
costs 15 yuan per dose,
so it's 30 yuan a day
and 900 yuan a month.
In total, we spend 1,291.8 yuan a month.
You forgot the water bill.
Water meter stays down
if Mom doesn't wash her hair!
Good!
I have a special gift
for your birthday.
This 1,700 yuan
is all our savings.
I'm giving it to you.
Starting today,
you'll be the little manager
of this family.
You'll be in charge
of all the household expenses.
Jiye,
this gift
is called trust.
[The Wolf of Wall Street]
Mom,
did you get a new phone?
Silly boy,
how could I afford a new phone?
Still the same one.
You must be
tired from reading.
Rest your eyes.
You should rest too.
[The Wolf of Wall Street]
Get water and wash Grandma's feet.
I'll fix the ceiling.
Son,
take a quick break,
then get back to it.
Dad,
what's the point of reading?
Reading
can change a person's fate.
But everyone in our family
loves reading.
How come we're still so poor?
That's because
your mom, grandma, and I
only started reading recently.
We haven't read enough.
I'm going to bed now.
Isn't it too early?
Morning market tomorrow.
The morning market?
Vegetables are cheaper there.
I'm saving up
to buy Dad new shoes.
These shoes can last me
a few more years.
Mom,
why is the neighbor
playing different music today?
This piece
is by a famous pianist
named Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff.
His music
is grand like an epic
and very poetic.
It's bold in structure and technique
with a deeply lyrical tone.
What's wrong?
Feeling touched by your son?
Our son
has turned out great.
With so many experts helping us,
how could we not raise a good kid?
Is this tough environment
really necessary?
Experts can teach knowledge,
but they can't teach resilience.
Madam, we've safely escorted
your parents home.
Got it.
Zhou, you can remove these pinyin books.
Jiye can use the dictionary now.
Catering.
Haven't I told you,
no fancy plating?
And today,
you showed off your knife skills!
It's the young master's birthday.
I just wanted to make it special.
Your cooking represents
his mom's cooking.
When she peels an apple,
all that's left is the core.
Mr. Ma.
Cut those down.
They're bad for your health.
Mr. Ma.
Healthy stool,
and good acid-base balance.
Ms. Li,
I've been meaning to ask,
why keep asking me to wash your feet?
Can we switch things up?
Filial piety
is the greatest virtue
of the Chinese people.
We have to lead by example,
not just talk about it, right?
Alright.
Can you at least
rinse your feet first?
Are you saying...?
Alright, enough.
After all these years together,
you two should be closer
than real in-laws.
Jiye's first five-year plan
has been a huge success.
You could even say
he's become a new person.
Everyone here
deserves credit.
I thank you all.
Your reward? The usual:
double bonus!
Hooray!
You're the best, Mr. Ma!
Thanks, Mr. Ma!
Son,
don't blame me for being tough.
Dad's working hard for you,
so make us proud.
Starting today,
no more ice cream
or playing on the phone.
No one will feed you
or rock you anymore.
Got it?
Son,
I'm here.
I'll wipe your tears.
Grandma!
I want Grandma!
Big boys don't cry.
Stop crying!
Stop crying.
Still crying?
Two choices.
Send him back to my mom,
or bring your mom back to life.
[Ms. Li: Here's Your Dutiful Son
Li Chunhua]
With Ms. Li's guidance
and the support of everyone else here,
Jiye
has made great progress in all areas.
Therefore,
starting today,
we're officially kicking off
the Successor Program.
The key to preparing Jiye
to take over my business
is building his financial intelligence.
He needs to learn
how to manage money
and take control of it.
[Ma Jiye]
What's the plan for today?
Financial intelligence training.
I'm not sure about the details.
Let's just follow him.
Is this the place?
Hey, boy.
What do you wanna buy?
I have tomatoes,
potatoes,
cucumbers,
carrots and eggplants.
Now what do you wanna buy?
Potato and eggplant.
Making a potato and eggplant stew?
Yes.
How much?
It's three yuan five.
Can you smear a zerohead?
What?
Can you round it down?
Just give me three yuan.
Hey kid,
come inside and play.
Don't just look. Join them!
Kid,
I don't have any children's shoes here.
[Premium Leather Shoes: 230 Yuan]
Meat stall No. 11.
There it is.
Sir,
I'd like one catty of chicken breast.
I can't sell it to you.
I've got a bad memory.
I can't remember the prices.
I'll check another.
Wait!
Let me try to remember.
I recall
the price of one catty of beef shank
equals four catties of chicken breast.
Chicken breast
is 14.3 yuan cheaper than pork belly.
I also vaguely remember
that one catty of beef shank
plus one catty of pork belly
cost 57.6 yuan.
So here's the question.
How much is one catty of chicken breast?
And here's my question.
Are you sure you're forgetful?
If you answer correctly,
I'll give you free-range eggs.
"Stupid eggs"!
Mom, I'm back!
You're home.
Son,
you bought so many groceries!
Do your homework.
I'll make dinner.
Madam.
Wang,
Jiye bought all this.
Well done!
He keeps Dad happy.
He even bought him shoes at the market.
He really knows who's in charge!
With EQ like that,
he's definitely
the future successor!
Enough talking.
Why are you standing up?
What if Jiye sees you?
He's in the bathroom.
Mr. Ma,
listen, don't get worked up.
What's wrong, Chenggang?
The new shoes don't fit?
The young master
didn't buy shoes.
He bought
a tablet.
Look.
He hit the toilet eight times
in an hour.
So what?
He's got diarrhea,
what's wrong with that?
Have a look.
Is your son on the toilet?
Feeling ashamed?
Feeling ashamed?
You should be ashamed.
You taught him that way.
Could I not teach him?
Look what your parents have done.
They made him so fat.
And so what?
You don't like us?
Son's with me.
Stay with fake Grandma.
Fine with me.
You brat.
Jiye.
You said you'd buy your dad new shoes.
Where are the shoes?
My dad said
his shoes could last years.
Legs still hurt?
No.
How about your knees?
Stop.
Show the image of him
buying the computer.
[Seven-day no-questions-asked
return and exchange policy]
I know what he wants to do.
Seven-day no-questions-asked
return and exchange policy.
Look.
I said my son wouldn't be that reckless.
He's rather good at business.
Chenggang.
Your work is hard.
And it's a long trip.
Be sure to take care of your health.
No.
Keep them for Jiye.
He's still growing.
Honey.

with orange pebbled leather.
Hermes Kelly
with orange pebbled leather.
Jiye.
You'll be the only male at home.
I'll leave your grandma and mom to you.
Take care of yourself.
Be good.
My donkey is mad.
Just call the police.
It's rushing onto the highway.
Kid.
What size do you take?
I'll give you a discount.
Bye.
Can you not hold a box and cry at me?
That's so unlucky.
You promised I could return it
within seven days.
Come on.
You troublesome little thing.
I said no returns since it got soaked.
I'm begging you.
My family has no money.
Then why did you buy it?
Leave now. Don't disturb my business.
You're blackmailing me.
Understand?
I'll call the police.
No, don't do that.
Hello, officer.
A kid is blackmailing me.
Still time for him to run?
Which phone do you like?
Let me introduce it to you.
[Recycling, Screen Replacement,
Unlocking, Repair]
Which phone
made them so angry?
Jiye, you're back.
Why didn't you buy groceries today?
Grandma.
Let's go to Haideilao
for a good meal today.
[Haideilao Hotpot]
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Thank you.
Excuse me.
Oh my.
Grandma, eat more.
It'll fill you up. Eat.
I can't eat more.
I'm having a heartburn.
It's okay. Just eat.
Come on. Mom, eat this.
Try this.
This is cumin-flavored. It's great.
Tasty.
Hello, sir.
Maybe give your table
to the old lady and kid?
Sure.
They're nearly filled.
Mom.
Down it.
Mom's out.
You can go inside.
So soon.
That gentleman gave you his table.
No need.
We'd like to wait a little longer.
Mom, I'm going to get another number.
The stools are too small.
I'll go get you a larger table.
Sorry.
No need.
It's fine. Take them.
Jiye, Grandma feels chest discomfort.
Let's go home.
Grandma.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
Grandma.
You've eaten so much today.
You're too full for medicine, right?
Yeah.
It doesn't matter
if I skip it for one day.
That's good.
Grandma.
Grandma.
What's wrong?
Grandma.
I'm fine.
I'm just doing a cleanse.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
Jiye.
Remember,
People without trust
can't stand in the world.
People without sincerity
can't be made as friends!
Grandma.
Grandma, hold on.
I promise I'll buy you
medicine tomorrow.
Give it back.
Give it back.
Give it back.
Give it back.
Stop tossing it. Return it to me.
Monday morning is foggy.
Ragpicker Jiye is loggy.
At the policeman's signal,
he rushed into the dump
and collected rubbish with a smile.
Monday morning is foggy.
Ragpicker Jiye is loggy.
At the policeman's signal,
he rushed into the dump
and collected rubbish with a smile.
Monday morning is foggy.
Ragpicker Jiye is loggy.
That's outrageous.
How could you let my son
collect rubbish?
Aren't you all educators?
Is that how you teach kids?
Let me ask you.
You want my son to drop out?
How can he face his classmates?
Have you thought about his self-esteem?
Cool down.
Who cares about this stupid bag?
When one has nothing,
his self-esteem is worthless.
Jiye is walking the same path
as I did in my childhood.
It's the only way for him
to take over the company.
A lot of power brings a lot of desire.
One with too much desire
can't resist temptation.
To play games,
he used all the money
for a trick.
I need to teach him a lesson.
Suffering now
is better than being devastated
in the future.
No matter how great a business is,
it won't always be smooth sailing.
Only when he corrects
the mistake himself
can he avoid making another mistake.
The setbacks Jiye is experiencing
will help him
bounce back in adversity.
Far-sighted.
Far-sighted.
Honey.
Arm or shoulder, which looks better?
Not mad?
Why?
What's wrong?
Sun.
Hurry up.
Go buy some cigarettes
from the supermarket.
No need.
Wait.
Mr. Ma.
Please don't test human nature
under extreme conditions.
Madam, I'm leaving.
The door is open.
So I closed the casket for you.
Thank you, darling.
Come back anytime.
I'll keep bottles for you.
Okay, thank you, madam.
Jiye is great.
What're you doing?
Poor Young Master
spent all day collecting bottles
without eating.
Mr. Ma said,
"Protection,
observation,
and no intervention."
Hello, young man.
I'm Peter.
Can I become your friend?
I'm Ma Jiye. Nice to meet you.
Let's talk about business, Ma Jiye.
I will buy those bottles.
Really?
Yes, let's go.
That's ridiculous.
He can't practice English
on an empty stomach.
This is hunger mnemonics.
Enjoy your meal.
A foreigner
treats a garbage collector to a meal.
What a big plot hole!
Mr. Ma just relented.
He ignored logic.
Watch them.
OK.
How about I'm gonna
take you to meet a friend?
Come in.
Inside.
I brought him.
Hello, madam.
Where is the madam?
Hello, sir.
Just Dajun.
Hello, Dajun.
How much do you sell for these bottles?
Ten cents per plastic bottle.
Fifteen cents per can.
Thirty cents per glass bottle.
Alright.
Bring all your bottles
here from now on.
I'll buy them for a high price.
Really?
It's our little secret.
I just have one request.
What's it?
I am
a clean freak.
I don't do business with dirty kids.
So
quickly go take a bath.
Ms. Li, you're lucky today.
Indeed.
Yang.
Take my place.
I have to prepare food.
Today,
I'll make a good meal for Young Master.
Chop sea cucumbers small,
no whole ones.
Jiye has been taking them for mushrooms.
Got it.
Hasn't Young Master eaten yet?
Where?
Xihong Hotel.
Hotel?
With who?
The foreign teacher.
Who sent the teacher?
We didn't set up English lessons today.
Oh no.
Excuse me,
a kid this tall
was just taken away by a foreigner.
Which room?
Where's he?
Room 1809.
Who are you?
First-class chef.
Just talk to me.
We're here for my kid.
Call your manager over.
Who are you?
Where's my son?
Your son?
Where is his son?
Where is his son?
Don't move.
Or I'll beat you.
You scumbag.
Son.
Dad.
Son.
Dad.
Dad.
I'm here.
Dad.
It's no use begging for mercy.
Dad.
Quick.
Knock it off.
Breaking in.
Assaulting.
Provoking.
Damaging Sino-foreign relations.
You committed multiple crimes.
Give me 10 million.
Do you want me to freeze
your credit card now?
Forget it.
Dajun.
Did you just talk nonsense
to your brother?
What could I say to him?
I'm at your mercy.
How dare I tell him anything?
Then why bring him here?
No reason.
I'm his elder brother.
What's wrong with me
taking a bath with him?
Look what you did.
Chunlan.
Assess the damage.
Chenggang.
Apologize now.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Dad.
Peter and you...
Chunlan.
Peter is my good friend.
I met him in America.
He took my surname.
His Chinese name is Ma Bide.
He likes Chinese culture very much.
Ma Bide.
If he knew something
about Chinese culture,
he wouldn't use this name.
Alright. That's it for today.
Follow the rules.
Don't call me Dad outside,
or I'll freeze your card.
I'm at your command.
Chenggang.
Luckily, Chenggang rushed over in time.
Or Jiye would have been abducted.
Jiye.
Your dad trusted you.
He let you keep all the money.
But what did you do?
You bought this stupid stuff.
Look at you.
How can you be so willful?
You let your dad down.
Stop it.
I've forgiven Jiye.
Sorry, Dad.
It's okay.
Kids are fond of play.
Don't make a fuss over it.
But son, remember,
never repeat
your mistakes.
Just let it go.
Now, we should think of a way
to help Jiye
earn back the money.
I can continue to collect bottles.
Okay.
Good idea.
But think smart,
not hard.
Where can you get most bottles?
Trash cans.
Normally,
your rivals think the same way.
To solve the problem,
you have to grasp the essence.
What are bottles
before they become garbage?
Plastic.
Its scientific name is
polyethylene terephthalate.
No.
They're water containers.
They're essentially containers.
On average, people drink water
every 90 minutes.
So where there are the most people,
there are the most bottles.
Shopping malls,
pedestrian zone,
and stadiums.
Stadiums.
Stadiums are huge containers.
Collecting bottles is easy.
But people will bring
the bottles with water inside away.
So you have to bet.
Bet on what?
Bet on a wonderful game
that can keep the bottles
in the stadium.
[Royal Roc VS Invincible Cockroach
The second half 0:7]
We're making a fortune.
Come on, kid.
Who are those guys?
They've booked the whole place.
Without connections,
one can't even grab some bottles.
The shoes he bought are really nice.
Fleece shoes
of the right size.
After all, he is my son.
Jiye is a filial and thoughtful boy.
Jiye must become a talent
and have a great future.
Mr. Ma.
I have to chill your enthusiasm.
Please forgive me.
Jiye must be much more successful
than you in the future.
Jiye is back!
Dad!
Big event. Look who is here.
His family is indeed not well off.
Mr. Yu, please.
This way, please.
I've been reflecting on myself
since I came back.
It's better to teach a man to fish
than to give him fish.
This is Mr. Yu,
the best long-distance race coach
in Xihong City.
He coached several national champions.
See?
Is that good news?
I'm very strict with their training.
Before I came here,
I worried
if he could endure the hardship
in the sports school.
But as I see you and your house,
I am completely relieved.
Mr. Yu.
The condition of our family
is a little special.
I can see that.
I have real power in school.
I can give him a poverty allowance.
He is really a running kid.
I must coach him to win an award
in the National Games, at least.
Do you have confidence?
Yes, I do.
Then show me.
Move!
Show me now.
Lift your legs.
Swing your arms.
Make big moves.
Come on!
Mr. Yu,
my son will never...
Pearls are everywhere
but not the same as the eyes.
It's your blessing
to be appreciated by Mr. Yu.
I've decided.
He will go.
I'm going to win glory for my country.
[Overview of Qingbei University

[Overviwe of Qingbei University SEM]
Chenggang.
[Overviwe of Qingbei University SEM]
How could you be so cruel
to lie to him?
You see, Jiye is so excited.
What should we do now?
Really send him to the sports school?
I didn't lie to him.
I see how much he loves running.
I don't care.
I'll tell him the truth tomorrow.
We are wealthy.
We have a lot of money.
The game is over.
I'll tell him everything.
If you tell him the truth now,
all of our cultivation
for these years
will be in vain.
You can go to bed.
I'll find a way out.
You wake up.
The breakfast is ready.
What happened?
Grandma.
It seems I can't feel my feet.
What?
Jiye.
Mom, my left foot can't move.
What's wrong?
Jiye!
Jiye!
Please don't scare me.
What's the matter?
Dad, I can't feel my left foot.
You can't feel your foot?
Feel your foot...
Your foot...
Let's go to the hospital!
Right, the hospital.
Wait. Be careful.
I'll help you put on your shoes.
You're nearly seventy. Be cool.
It's okay.
You just overtrained.
Dad will take you to the hospital.
Right.
The best A-Class hospital!
What does he plan to do?
I have no idea.
Coming. Put on your clothes.
You call this place
the A-Class hospital?
Doctor,
can I go to the sports school?
Wait a moment.
I'll have a further exam.
Where are his parents?
Do you think
my father should also be here?
Of course not.
He has a very rare disease
that prevents him
from being a professional athlete.
However, it won't affect his daily life.
It's still okay
to participate in the school games.
But remember not to be an athlete.
Then I'm leaving,
Mr. Ma.
Who is Mr. Ma?
Even a horse has the day
when it can't run.
Not to mention
a little boy.
Mom, I'm fine.
Don't cry.
The doctor said
it won't affect my life.
Though I can't go to the sports school,
I can pick up bottles for money.
When I grow up,
I can still work to earn money.
My poor son,
I'm sorry to make you suffer.
Let me.
I'll have a conversation
with my little man.
Jiye.
You're always thinking about working.
Have you thought
about letting others work for you?
Qingbei University
is the best university in our country.
And the Department
of Business Administration there
is the cradle of top entrepreneurs.
As long as you can
get into that university,
your destiny can be changed.
Does Qingbei University
provide free food and accommodation?
Don't worry.
As long as you are admitted,
I will get you the education fee
by hook or crook.
Actually, going to Qingbei University
was also my dream.
But at that time,
I was too poor to go to university,
so it's my regret.
Do you have confidence
to fulfill this dream for me?
Yes.
In this case,
I must buy you a bicycle.
You have difficulty with your legs,
so you don't need to run to school.
You can ride in the future.
Really?
Certainly.
Dad,
as long as you are by my side,
I dare to do anything.
Jiye, just remember,
when you are in trouble
in your life,
Dad will always be there for you
as long as you call me.
Dad!
Yes!
Dad!
Yes!
Dad!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Ma Chenggang!
Yes, I'm here.
You idiot!
- You men can't take care of the child.
- Mom, help!
Jiye!
See,
he rides so well.
Follow up.
Carefree and joyful
Ma Jiye.
Feifei.
But one day a storm breaks out
He has worries now
Time flies year after year
The little boy grows taller
He grows older
He has more worries now
It's flying.
Jiye.
He grows older
He has more worries now
Does the girl go to the dance school?
Yes.
Her families are all satisfied.
But I don't think
they two are in love.
Your son's nickname is Rag Ma.
The girl's name is Zhang Feifei.
Their classmates now call them
Morphine Group.
They stay together every day
so people think they are a couple.
It's a sort of a preemptive strike.
Ma Jiye,
I'm leaving next week.
I'm specially recruited
by Xihong Dance School.
The tuition is free
and my parents can come with me.
An apartment is also provided.
No way.
You want me to stay, right?
No.
I just think
your dance is not coordinated
and you can't keep up with the beat.
How can you be specially recruited?
What did you say?
I don't think that makes sense.
Maybe they admit me
because of my good appearance.
Then it makes even less sense.
Does it make sense now?
Are you going to a dance school
or a martial arts school?
Take care.
Welcome to come again.
Okay.
[Grocery store]
Jiye is back!
Jiye.
I have
a piece of wood.
It's two meters long
and thirty centimeters in diameter.
Please do the math for me.
How many more balls can I make
with a six-centimeter radius
than with an eight-centimeter radius?
Twenty-nine.
That's why you have to study well.
Mom,
I know you love Jiye,
but you still can't sell your dowry
for his tuition.
My dowry is nothing.
As soon as Jiye gets
into Qingbei University,
we'll have money to support him.
Jiye can't know these things.
Or he will be stressed.
Jiye is back.
Jiye, you must be tired.
Grandma can give you a massage.
Mom will cook some soup for you.
Dad can sing for you.
I'm not tired at all.
I want to do my homework.
Stand up.
[Welcome the leaders
of the District Education Commission]
Greetings, kids.
Greetings, sir.
Sit down, please.
There is no difference
between the public class
and the daily class.
You don't have to behave
like a rehearsal.
Well.
Who can help us
review the knowledge
I taught you last time?
Sir.
Sir.
Zhang Feifei, you answer that.
Sir,
Li Zhenxing is supposed
to answer this question.
Li Zhenxing, you answer that.
You shouldn't raise your hand.
Last time,
Mr. Wei told us several vivid stories
and taught us
the material determines consciousness
and existence determines thinking.
Among these knowledge,
Hobbes and Mr. Wei's unique insights
helped us find the light of truth
from the obscure words.
Good point.
Sit down, please.
Please take a look at this.
This is a stone
I picked up at the beach.
Okay.
Touch it.
Do you feel it?
Yes.
Does the stone exist?
Yes.
What does it tell us?
It tells us
the world is composed of materials
and is an objective existence.
Then next up,
let's turn it into a piece of gold
with our consciousness.
It's apparently impossible.
Why?
Ma Jiye.
You want to teach us
the world is not subject
to human consciousness.
Great.
But I want to say it's not true.
I think consciousness indeed exists
in the material world.
We need to look at the world
in a scientific way.
Don't think nonsense, Ma Jiye.
We should consider everything
based on facts.
Yes, I said it based on facts.
I feel it more and more clearly now
that the world is interacting with me.
Then I'll interact with you,
okay?
Now you turn it into a piece of gold.
Sir, I can't.
Then you should sit down.
That's because I'm an ordinary person.
Generally speaking,
I can't do that
because I don't have enough power.
There is another possibility, sir.
There is no consciousness
in the material world.
But there is a mysterious force
controlling the world.
It may be
the Creator.
It can also be
the God.
Or life in higher dimensions.
Like aliens,
the Lizard,
the Anunnaki,
or the Protection God.
It's all possible.
I can feel their presence.
They are watching me.
Once I disobey their will,
they will manipulate my destiny.
Can't you feel it?
No, we can't.
Mr. Wei, I'm sorry
to ruin your promotion.
I don't deserve that.
I've been teaching political lessons
for years
and one of my students is an immortal.
Promotion?
I might be paraded for public shaming
in the past.
So exhausted.
But sir,
don't you really think life is arranged?
My family is very poor.
However, I grow into an excellent,
handsome, and athletic boy
with many talents.
Don't you think it's weird?
Don't you think you are annoying?
Sir, I just think
there must be a mysterious force
that controls me
and consciously makes me like this.
I can feel it.
I can feel it, too.
You are the mysterious force
that prevents me
from becoming the deputy director.
Ma Jiye,
you don't have to attend the class
in the afternoon.
You get out of here now.
Write the key points about materialism
ten times.
You are even boasting about yourself.
[Xihong Seventh Middle School]
The material determines consciousness.
Existence determines thinking.
I earn twenty bucks again.
The world is a material world.
We believe in atheism.
We are against theism.
We adhere to dialectical materialism.
The material determines consciousness.
Existence determines thinking.
The world is a material world.
Grandma!
Grandma!
Grandma!
Grandma, your shoe!
Grandma!
Grandma!
Grandma!
Your shoe!
Jiye, why are you in such a hurry?
Jiye,
I've got A Brief History of Time
for you.
I have no time now.
And the Interpretation of Dreams?
Mr. Zhou,
did you see my grandma running upstairs?
I promise
your grandma has been lying in bed.
Something wrong with my words.
Jiye, you're back.
Grandma,
you were playing basketball.
You must be mistaken.
How can a lame old lady play basketball?
You ran so fast that you lost your shoe.
It's not mine.
Mom.
Mom!
What did Ms. Li do?
She is so careless.
The older she gets,
the more careless she is.
Grandma, you were playing basketball.
I chased you all the way.
Why don't you admit it?
Mom,
you've been reading the newspaper.
You should take a break.
Jiye,
you are back.
Mom, where do you come from?
Of course the bedroom.
I searched the room just now
but there was no one.
What are you saying, Jiye?
I've been
lying in bed all the time.
Sometimes I lie under the covers.
Sometimes I go under the bed.
Jiye must be too stressed lately.
I think so.
Did I fall into the parallel universe?
What are you saying?
You read too many books.
You're even hallucinating.
Just throw the shoe away.
A single shoe is worthless.
What's going on?
How can you be so careless?
Dad.
Please come here.
Please.
What are you doing here?
Dad, I have to tell you something.
I saw my grandma playing basketball.
Jiye,
you must have been under great pressure.
Dad, I swear I saw her.
Please trust me.
I chased her all the way.
She even lost one of her shoes.
I think my mom and my grandma
are trying to hide something from me.
When I asked them today,
my mom has been touching her hair.
In psychology,
it is the typical manifestation
of nervousness and lying.
Jiye has grown older.
He no longer believes
in our explanation.
The college entrance examination
is coming up.
He can't be distracted.
Ms. Li,
I'm so sorry.
Jiye.
What's the matter, grandma?
I'll be honest with you.
In fact,
I know slam dunk.
[R.I.P.]
You finally wake up.
Jiye.
Your grandmother left us forever
last night.
You said you saw her
playing basketball yesterday.
In biology,
it's called
momentary recovery before death.
It's a biological reaction
that the brain
restores the body's functions
to normal briefly before death.
Grandma has long been terminally ill.
We didn't tell you
because we were afraid
you would be distracted.
Get dressed.
Let's say farewell to her.
Put it in the middle.
A little more central.
That's right.
Move away that one.
That's right.
Director,
there is no name on the wreath.
It doesn't look real.
It's borrowed from others.
I have to return it to them later.
It's all my fault.
It's my carelessness
that makes these troubles.
It doesn't matter, Ms. Li.
I'm here, Director.
It's really a rush order.
Please help me.
Jiye is here.
Ms. Li,
lie down
and don't move.
Remember?
Don't worry.
I'll definitely
complete the last mission.
Grandma!
- Grandma!
- Please take care.
Jiye,
Grandma won't be reassured
to see you like this.
The eldest grandson kowtows.
Kowtow to your grandma.
Kowtow once.
Kowtow twice.
Husband and wife bow to each other.
Husband and wife bow to the dead.
Grandma,
I haven't bought you the big house.
I haven't taken you to travel around.
Grandma.
Mom!
Jiye, kowtow to your grandma again.
Quick.
Your grandson is here.
One more.
You can rest in peace now.
Ms. Li wrote a message
to her dear grandson, Ma Jiye,
during her last days.
Dear grandson,
I'm always proud of you.
Now I'm gone.
You should listen
to your dad and mom carefully.
It's a pity
that I don't see the day
when you receive the offer
from Qingbei University.
Never mind.
I'll fly
over the Department
of Business Administration
of Qingbei University SEM
to see you there.
It's a date.
Ms. Li is an excellent intellectual.
She has been frugal all her life.
Please say your final goodbyes.
Grandma.
Grandma!
Grandma!
Jiye!
I heard my grandma's voice.
Mom!
I'll say my last farewell to you.
How can a corpse come to life?
Where are you, Grandma?
[Crematory House]
The wind is clear.
The crane is heading north.
The ancestors blessed
your academic success.
It's really too much this time.
He almost found out the truth.
It's the only way out.
Am I not going to see Jiye again
from now on?
No.
You're just stepping back
for the moment.
As soon as Jiye graduates
from Qingbei University,
I'll let you meet each other again.
You are always the grandmother of Jiye.
By the way,
he is so lucky to be able
to experience the resurrection
of his loved ones once in his life.
You are right.
Grab a bite.
No, thanks.
All right.
Then I'll bury you now.
Thank you
for providing this precious place.
I'm so sorry to bother you.
Mr. Ma is so kind to say so.
This is your home.
Even the stoves are donated by you.
Okay, bye.
Welcome home, Mr. Ma.
Why are you crying?
I don't think he will be so sad
if I die.
He will.
You'll see that day.
What are you doing?
Ma Jiye,
I present you a dance.
I know you would laugh when I dance.
Happy now?
The day before my grandma died.
I saw her playing basketball.
My dad said
it was momentary recovery before death.
But I looked up all information.
It is impossible.
That wouldn't make someone
who has been bedridden
suddenly stand up and play basketball.
My gosh.
What a hapless death!
What do you think?
If your grandma was alive,
surely she will be interviewed on TV.
She may endorse a health product!
Don't underestimate it.
That's lots of money.
Stop thinking.
It's not your life.
It's not about money.
I mean
that day she played basketball
was weird.
I went home for my mother.
She was not there.
But in the blink of an eye,
she suddenly appeared
with a bunch of jewelry.
The clothes were not even her own.
I see.
I know why she was hiding from you.
I'm afraid she's not the only one
in that room.
What?
Your dad
might be cuckolded.
Right back at you!
Your dad is old and poor.
But your mom is young and beautiful.
How can she afford jewelry?
In the room
probably hid a very rich man.
Your grandma met them, right?
What do you mean?
Maybe your grandmother
[Wu Dalang was poisoned by his wife]
died like Wu Dalang.
Fish is ready!
Come on, Jiye.
Eat it while it's hot.
It's good for your intelligence.
Come on.
What are you looking at?
Just eat.
Dad, go dye your hair.
For whom? My age doesn't allow.
Hello?
What's up?
I'm looking for Ma Jiye.
But why are you calling me?
Who's to blame
if the teacher took the phone?
I'll count to three. One.
Two.
Ma Jiye, it's for you.
Hello?
Ma Jiye.
I was right.
Your mom went to a villa
with a handsome man with long hair.
No.8 Haibin Road.
Hurry up and come.
Jia Qiqiang,
give me his phone!
Chenggang,
you see, Dajun
has changed a lot.
He's way more steady.
It's time
for him to work out in our company.
Work out?
A gym fits him.
Ma Dajun, I told you.
I don't care what you want to do.
But I won't let you start up a business.
Save for havocking our family business.
Dad,
I know you've been looking down upon me.
Look at the calligraphy.
The eldest son
walks sadness.
[An idle youth, a needy age]
Why do I have to walk sadness?
Why not my younger brother?
Tell me I'm brilliant.
You're just being biased.
You've put all your efforts
on my brother.
You don't even see how good I am.
I do.
You scored 98 points on the test.
That's really good.
Two points away from a perfect score.
It's the college entrance examination.
Total score.
Bad luck then.
Had he chosen "C" for all the questions,
it would've been over 100 points.
Auntie,
had I chosen the same answer
in that year,
I would've got a zero.
Ma Jiye.
Right over there.
The big house on the inside.
Alright.
Let's go.
Feifei,
I'll go by myself.
It's a family shame.
Jiye went to the villa,
isn't it?
Mom!
I know you are inside!
Chunlan!
Jiye,
what brings you here?
My classmate saw you coming here
with a man.
What are you talking about?
Your dad is here.
Look.
Chenggang.
Jiye?
What brings you to mom and dad's office?
Hurry.
Say hello to Mr. and Mrs.
Come on.
Hello, Mr. and Mrs.
Hello.
My apology.
The bigger the family,
the more polite you have to be.
Your mom and I work here lately.
We are better off now.
It's all because of them.
He's right.
Thank you.
Your house is really big.
It is.
Big and beautiful.
[An idle youth, a needy age]
Dad,
isn't this the one I wrote?
They two
do much good to us.
I took the liberty
and gave the best one you wrote
to them.
They really like it.
Right?
Sure.
- You thirsty?
- Thank you.
I'll go get you some water.
Are you food?
I'll cook some hungry.
Don't bother.
It's too much.
Do evil?
[Sounds the same as hungry in Chinese]
Let me see how.
They are so kind.
We met the great benefactors.
How can you put me in the bathroom?
This is my house.
I'm going to the living room right now.
To crack melon seeds!
What are you doing?
Young master,
sorry for your sock.
What are you doing?
Alright, son, go home.
I'm not off the work.
It's not right for you to stay here.
Dad,
why do I suddenly feel so familiar
with this place?
That's right.
It's common.
On TV, all rich people's houses
look like this.
Jiye,
make sure you get in Qingbei University.
After you make money,
you buy such a house for us.
OK?
See the water.
How clean it is!
Look at this big swimming pool.
Constant temperature and humidity.
It remains 26 to 28 degrees
all year long.
Dad takes you for a round.
Forgive us, young master.
Mr. and Mrs,
leave it to us.
That makes more sense.
Sorry about that.
My son saw such a big pool
for the first time.
We couldn't help
diving into it.
Please don't mind.
It's okay.
Jiye,
you must be cold.
Mom,
I'm sorry.
I will never make blind conjectures.
Dad,
the big pool is really something.
I will work hard for Qingbei University
to change my fate.
Good boy!
Jiye,
if you're not feeling well,
you can ask for a leave
and have a break at home.
A splendid day is only once.
The morning in a day never comes again.
Be hard working whenever you could,
because time awaits no man.
It's alright, Jiye.
A few days leave won't affect study.
It's easy to learn when you are young.
Treasure the moments that you have all.
Mom, Dad, goodbye.
The kid's in rebellion.
Wants to learn no matter how.
He's acting unusual.
Was he shocked?
Locked.
Where is he?
I don't know.
Keep it close.
[Male]
[Top 15 in class isn't enough.
Worker harder, can't let Grandma down!]
So it seems...
Ms. Li died too late.
It's worthy.
It must be Jiye thinking of me.
Hello.
What do you need?
The sharpest axe.
The strongest rope.
Mr. Ma,
this is Jiye's score
in the district mock exam.
I'm going to the top!
Ninety one.
Dad!
Ninety Seven.
To the top!
One hundred and thirty two.
To the top!
To the top!
To...
Ninety eight.
The top!
One hundred and forty five.
How far is it to 700?
One hundred and thirty seven.
One hundred and forty four.
Seven hundred and seven.
Do you understand
how crazy your plan is?
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Hundred percent sure.
OK.
Nice!
Green light for your exam tomorrow!
[Xihong Experimental High School
for the 2024]
[National College Entrance Examination]
Jiye,
leave it blank
if you don't know the answer.
Pick the easy ones first.
Don't worry, Mom.
I get them all.
Take it easy.
Just stay calm.
Like you do your mock test.
Parents stop here.
Go the bathroom first!
What are you nervous about?
Is it your grandson or granddaughter?
It's my son who scored 707 in the mock.
I told you to dye your hair.
He should go to the eye doctor.
Is there another group of people behind?
That's it. No more.
Is there a backdoor?
No.
Have you checked the bathroom?
We have checked all.
You sure?
I'm sure.
It's cleared.
There's nobody around.
We're not familiar with the perimeter.
Did we miss?
Now what?
Go home first.
Mr. Ma is back.
[To Ma Chenggang]
We don't know
who left Jiye's bag in the yard.
And inside it were just a stone, a cup
and this letter.
Chenggang.
It's alright.
Don't frighten yourself.
They do this for money!
Did Mr. Ma offend someone recently?
Competitors!
Any competitor?
Dad,
wait and see.
Chenggang!
I don't have any competitors.
But Jiye has one.
Ma Dajun!
It can be him!
He wouldn't do this!
He's crazy!
Sorry.
The subscriber you dialed
can not be connected for the moment.
What do we do, Chenggang?
Is it Xihong Light House?
I know roughly where it is!
Here is the Light House.
According to the light,
here is where the photo was taken.
Hurry up!
Go east
and west.
Besiege the target.
I know that there's a broken boat.
Nugget sails up!
Looking for mom on the duck!
I will work hard for Qingbei University
to change my fate.
Good boy!
On April 23,
in a strange pool
I saw my childhood memory.
It confirms my suspicion
about the world.
My dad told me
if you can't figure out something,
always stop and observe.
Good morning, Mr. Zhou.
Morning.
I didn't see you.
Pause at any moment.
Turn around.
You will find a different world.
Don't try to ask for the truth
from the ones who deceived you.
Be cunning
[Top 15 in class isn't enough]
and hide your true thoughts.
[Worker harder, can't let Grandma down!]
Hide your true thoughts.
My dad taught me that.
My mom came out of nowhere
with a bunch of jewelry.
The clothes were not even her own.
Jiye.
What is he doing?
Mr. Ma said
his son wants an e-dictionary.
Sir.
Yeah, kid.
Recommend an e-dictionary for Gaokao.
This one is good.
A must for straight-A students.
I'm a one,
but I'm worried.
What college shall I choose.
Qingbei University must be your choice.
The best one in the country,
Qingbei University.
Jiye, make it to the Qingbei University.
Grandma will fly over Qingbei University
to see you there.
It costs too much. Thank you.
I didn't offer the price.
Sir, any e-dictionary?
For a super A student like me
who always ranks top in class exams,
which university should I choose?
None of my business.
I don't sell it to you.
Your grades drop. I say it.
Wonderful!
Get me a new Polaroid.
Go the bathroom first!
Thirty minutes away to the end of exam.
I'm under strict surveillance.
Only this site gives me a break.
It's the best time for me to escape.
All warfare is based
on deception.
Surprising the unexpected.
Put a decoy in
and make a feint.
It may be the only chance to the truth.
I learnt all these
from my dad.
[Report on Ma Jiye's Diary]
[Report on Ma Jiye's Micro-Expressions]
[Report on Ma Jiye's Diary]
I'm specially recruited
by Xihong Dance School.
Maybe they admit me
because of my good appearance.
[Report on Ma Jiye's Micro-Expressions]
[Star Staff, Mission Success]
But you can't become an athlete.
[Coach of Xihong Athletic Team,
Key Surveillance Subject]
Dad,
my legs seem to be better now.
I can walk.
No.
Dad pushes you.
So we can go further.
[Assist study to the last minute]
The book is awesome!
Do you want to read it?
Take it.
In this process,
electrical energy is converted
into mechanical and thermal energy.
So the hair dryer gets hot!
Hey boy.
What do you wanna buy?
That's why you have to study well.
[Study on Ma Jiye preparing for Gaokao]
The gift is called
trust.
Stupid
boy!
[Star Stuff]
[Chief Officer of Education, Li Chunhua]
Jiye.
People without trust
can't stand in the world.
People without sincerity
can be made as friends!
Jiye,
life is a game.
You must remember Mr. Chen's advice.
Learn STEM well.
You surmount everything.
Begins with a little step.
Work for Qingbei University.
I knew you had it in you.
Jiye.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Ms. Li.
Jiye.
Your plan
compromised the gift
we planned for you
for years.
Awkward!
Waste of time.
Surprise is gone, escape room instead!
What kind of teachers are you two?
I don't see you on the wall.
What teacher?
I'm your dad.
Don't scare me, son.
I am your mom, son.
It's my fault.
Enough, stop crying.
Don't be ridiculous.
Jiye is still in shock.
But Jiye,
you need to hurry up and get used
to your role as the successor.
Hard days have passed!
Our family is really rich!
That's why Dad wants to train you
to get into Qingbei University.
Otherwise who will inherit
the family business?
Am I right?
Laugh out loud!
He must be happy now.
Look how we nurture him.
He's so steady.
Alright, son.
This year is the history.
Dad won't blame you.
You take another year.
Again, Grandma
will lead the strongest team
to support and guide you.
Next year,
let's regroup
and fight for Qingbei University again!
Go for it.
Fight for Qingbei University!
Go for it, Jiye!
Fighting, Jiye!
Son,
where are you going?
To some place real.
What is unreal?
Everyone is caring for you for real!
You're the center of the universe!
Every day you'll be rewarded!
What kind of family can raise a child
as what we have done?
You lucky boy even feels aggrieved!
Just leave!
We just pretend to make you suffer.
We're not really starving you, are we?
Have you ever been through real ordeals?
I have.
So I know
a man
must work hard
to be a real man!
I'm paving this road for you.
You're at the top if you step on it!
A white lie is never deception.
It is protection!
It is love!
It is the highest dimension of love.
The Great Love!
You think I manipulate your life?
You also manipulate ours!
Son!
Mom,
I want to walk my own path.
Are you coming home for dinner tonight?
All those words meant to help me
I've had enough
Why do you always misunderstand
I understand too much
It's because I'm too considerate
So many things I dare not say to you
Asking why, asking why
The biggest opponent in life
Is the child you once were
Your unfulfilled dreams
Why did you pass them on to me?
Where should this little kite fly?
How high, how fast,
you've already planned it all
But I don't want to be a kite
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
I'm on my way to find myself
Goodbye, don't be sad
Dad!
I want to be the wind
I don't need your appreciation!
Lighting the campfire
with friends waiting for the aurora
Don't take off your mask here.
You okay?
We really made it.
I want to be the wind
[The next year, Ma Jiye scored 705 points
to his desired sports university]
Watching shadows sway on an island
Sending you sea and sunrise at 7
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
To crash, fall, feel love, get hurt
Come on, son!
Come on!
Poor guy,
he doesn't even make to the third tier.
I should go for him.
Brother!
Fighting, brother!
Brother!
[Never Give "Ap"]
Never give up!
My man!
Never give up!
My man!
Never give up!
He's speeding up.
My man!
Never give up!
My man!
Never give up!
What a kid.
Why do you always veer
towards the bottles?
It's our fault.
We caused him childhood trauma.
Chunlan.
We must
make it up to Jiye.
You don't say that.
He doesn't accept anything.
But we insist on that.
Then what?
We'll give him a little sister
or brother.
Shame on you!
[A Yanfei, Peng Damo Film]
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
I'm on my way to find myself
Goodbye, don't be sad
Sending you the moon
from the Himalayas
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
Lighting the campfire
with friends waiting for the aurora
Even if I can't wait, I'll be happy
It's the light outside the plan
That's worth the courage to chase
Trees grow in different shapes
Under the same lamp, questions
Can have different answers
Under the same roof, we should
Stop copying each other's answers
life's an individual test
Hey I don't want to be a kite
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
I'm on my way to find myself
Goodbye, don't be sad
Sending you the moon
from the Himalayas
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
Lighting the campfire
with friends waiting for the aurora
Even if I can't wait, I'll be happy
It's the light outside the plan
That's worth the courage to chase
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
There's no direction
the wind can't collide with
Watching shadows sway on an island
Sending you sea and sunrise at 7
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
To crash, fall, feel love, get hurt
Don't cry, just cheer for me
That's the love I truly want
Don't say it's for my own good,
please cheer for me
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
Goodbye, don't be sad
Sending you the moon
from the Himalayas
I want to be the wind
Don't try to control me, wherever I go
Don't cry, just cheer for me
That's the love I truly want
Don't say it's for my own good,
please cheer for me
All those words meant to help me
I've had enough
Why do you always misunderstand

It's because I'm too considerate
