We didn't choose an auspicious day,
Mr. Jiang ...

Take care of this table.

We have come to wish you
a happy birthday.

Do you well!

Long life and happiness!

Thank you !

Have the demolitions started?

Everything is accelerating.

In time
for the 2022 Asian Games.

"Planned urban renewal".

The metro will go from Fuyang to Hangzhou
in 30 minutes.

It was time to modernize, which
is a good thing.

Alas, the price of real estate
is also modernizing.

The current will come back.

Today is an auspicious day.

Our older brother
loves the romantic atmosphere!

The diviner had predicted an auspicious day.

Without water or electricity!

Double happiness and long life for mom!

Kangkang, wish
your grandmother a happy birthday .

Did you say hello to grandma?

Mom, happy birthday!

Brother-in-law, I present to you a friend:

Mr. Wang, the administrator.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang.

It’s a great day.

Your mother's birthday.

The filial piety of his sons
is a pleasure to see.

Madame Wang.

Thanks for coming. It is an honor.

Their son, young Wang.

Young man...

Handsome boy.

How old is your son?

Twenty eight years old.

Barely more than my daughter.

My girl !

Come, let me introduce you to someone.

This is Mr. Wang.

And his son, young Wang.

He's your age.

Talk to him, get to know him.

Exchange your WeChat addresses.

Young man,
take my niece's address.

The power is back,
I'm going to the kitchen!

All fresh caught.

It is a white bass from the Fuchun River.

Fan Zhongyan and Li Bai
wrote poems about this fish

and its exquisite taste.

"The waters meander between the mountains,

"the white bar announces

"the infinite abundance."

Longevity to our old lady!

Enjoy your meal !

Eat, eat.

I'm going to see my brothers.

Come eat, my brother.

We have fish to peel.

Can you lend me some money ?

Several restaurants
did not pay us.

And we are saving for
Yangyang's apartment , who is getting married.

It's better ?

What did you eat ?

It’s a stop.

Big Brother !

What?

I won't lend you money.

I am not a bank.

I ask nothing of you !

Don't stay there, then.

Go keep mom company.

You're just encumbering us.

What a beard...

Let me go,
I'll go see the electrician.

What bad luck...

We do not touch the pot
without asking our eldest.

He'll be okay,
no need to ask him.

I'm always there
when you need me.

I will pay you back, don't be afraid.

Account.

Two more.

With this breakdown in the middle of dinner,

our guests are dying of heat.

It will be quickly repaired, rest assured.

?? Do your best.
?? Do not worry.

Youfu!

?? Come down quickly!
?? Why ?

For greetings to Mom!

In the dark ?

Uncle says it's a good time.

I arrive.

The whole family is there
for long life wishes.

?? I know.
?? Hurry up !

I arrive.

Thank you all for coming

celebrate the 70 years of your grandmother!

Filial piety
has gathered your four sons

to wish you long life.

We can start ?

Let's go.

Children and grandchildren,

greet your mother and grandmother.

May his happiness be
as vast as the East Sea.

Second hello.

May his life stretch out
like the Southern Mountains.

Third hello.

May the whole family
know happiness!

We applaud!

Thanks Mom.
Best wishes for good health.

Thanks Mom.

He is the second son.

?? Third son.
?? Happy Birthday Mom.

And the younger.

Thanks Mom.
Happy Birthday !

So much for the four sons.
Now the grandchildren.

Kangkang!

Let's go with it.

Do you take care of Kangkang?

Third and Fourth,
we follow you.

Here she is.

She's under pressure.

The current returns
when it is no longer needed.

The city of Fuyang is washed
by the Fuchun River.

Mont de la Cigogne and Mont du Cerf
face each other from one bank to the other.

The river flows through Hangzhou
before emptying into the East Sea.

In the 14th century, the scholar Huang Gongwang
lived here as a hermit

and painted there his famous
"Stay in the Fuchun Mountains".

The history of the place dates back
to the Qin dynasty.

Sun Quan founded his Kingdom of Wu there,

and his descendants still live in
the old town of Longmen.

STAY
IN THE FUCHUN MOUNTAINS

My son Yangyang is getting married in October.
He wants to buy an apartment.

Can you pay me for
last year's fishing ?

I must confess, my brother,

that I got ripped off.

My brother-in-law has invested
in a real estate project.

He borrowed $ 3 million from me over a year.

I was enticed by the interests
he promised.

It was 3 years ago.

And Third Brother
lost all of his gambling money.

I don't have a penny left in front of me.

Adjust the balance.

I don't have a dime left.

I understand you.

I hear your building is
going to be demolished?

Youjin!

You're hiding
so you don't pay me back!

You should be ashamed !

Youjin!
Give us our money back!

Get off immediately!

Shame on Yu Youjin who is hiding at his house
for not paying back!

?? Our eldest knows, about the pot?
?? No.

Take the money back.

Put it away.

?? Do you have to pay the hospital?
?? The invoice has arrived.

I brought you sunglasses.

They are beautiful. Like yours.

You are my brother, right?

Who is with mom?

Cadet...

?? Did you pay the hospital bill?
?? Yes it's done.

How many ?

All the money we raised yesterday
for the anniversary.

Hello, Doctor Jin.

I am Ms. Bai's eldest son.

I wanted to know more about his condition.

Of course.

She had a heart attack
from the stress.

Which made senility worse.

Will she be able to continue living alone?

I do not believe.

How are we going to do this ?

Exactly...

Fengjuan and I
are taken by the restaurant,

we always come home very late.

Guxi is teaching,
she doesn't have time either.

It is complicated.

Ying and I live on our boat

and our house is going to be demolished.

Yangyang lives in a dormitory in his factory.

Impossible to count on our brothers.

Third brother
was dumped by his wife.

He already has problems
with his disabled son.

Our youngest is no better
than a 3 year old kid.

No need to count on him.

Mom was so strong ...
and here she is senile?

Dad's death last year
was a blow.

I have often seen her
staring into space.

I tried to cheer him up,
but I didn't expect that.

It’s terrible.

You have 3 days.
You know what to expect

if you don't pay.

In the Milky Way

Is a little white boat

On the boat is a fragrant olive tree

A little white rabbit is playing

You have lived here for 20 years

without having bought?

We didn't have any money.
Now the prices have doubled.

You had to buy 10 years ago.

We waited until we had the money.

A few years ago it
was still cheap.

In a cooperative, you need 200,000.

This is not what we want.

I want my house with ...

a title deed.

It's better,
but you have to be able to buy.

I'll tell you: selling this stuff
is a waste.

To buy,
you need a deposit of 500,000.

Before, at a cost of 1.5 million,
you advanced 500,000.

Now you have nothing
less than 3 million.

Double.

At least. Our small businesses
are getting us nowhere.

We die from morning to night.

The peasants have no
business acumen.

You should have invested in real estate.

If
I had known, I wouldn't be here slaving away.

I had bought three houses
in the area.

Compensation for demolition: 5 million.

A golden retreat!

It's like that.

See you soon.

Take Jiang's horoscope.

?? Keep it.
?? Heard.

I will read it.

Enjoy your meal !

Here is the boss!

When do you pay us back?

Your brother-in-law is angry
with me because of your debt.

Besides, her mother is in the hospital.

I will reimburse you, my sister.

Are you sure ?

I found a fiancé for your daughter,

that will make you roll on the gold.

You know how to sell your junk, you.

Three million is no small feat!

Mr. Wang, thank you for your kindness.

Let us drink to the alliance between our families.

Thank you.

Prosperity!

I mix the East and the West!

I invite you to toast.

You have not settled.

The guy who just left paid.

This is dishonest!

?? This is theft !
?? Not at all, we were invited.

I would be you, I would shut up.

You are dishonest.

I am too clumsy.
I broke a plate and a bowl.

It's okay, mom, I'm going to sweep.

Without you, I would have been divorced a
long time ago.

Dad does this for us.

You blame him,
but you make him a broth.

Your love is able
to withstand anything.

Think about your happiness
instead of mine.

I am tired.
Do not make me angry.

My tension is
racing , and you are adding more.

Do not get angry.
Let's stop talking about it.

Take a look

what state you are in.

He laughed to death.

This guy is not right.

He laughs to himself.

He's having fun.

Madam my wife ...

my mom is coming out of the hospital tomorrow.
I'll bring her here.

Are you setting her up here?

For how long ?

As long as it takes.
She is old.

There are four of you,
and are you the hero?

If she had been rich,
you would have split the money.

Why is it falling on you?

Second brother says

that it halves our debt
if we take charge of our mother.

Does he think it's worth 100,000?

No way,
even if he gives us everything.

It is always the men
who play the hero.

During this time,
the women toil.

I spent years
wiping my mother,

and I start again with yours.

Always me.

I know, I understand,
you are the best.

And you, the spiel champion.

You are only good at that.

My dear wife ... I know ...

You especially know how to bamboozle
me when you've had too much to drink.

Come home, go to sleep.

Look what state you are in.

Slowly...

Attention...

Cadet...

I made an appointment with a girl
for Saturday.

Get acquainted.

Try to have a little courage.

See if the girl
finds you to her liking,

and take the initiative.

Make advances to him,

take his hand, all that ...

Mom would like to see you married.

Do you still play with water at your age?

Who is it ?

It's me !

He is your oldest child.

Where is the little one?

The little ?

Looking for your favorite.

Here is your little one.

You hurt me,

not to recognize me.

Is he my youngest?

It's him.

My little.

You only remember the little one.

When I was little,
the Fuchun river

was rich in fish and crabs.

It was enough to throw the net
to take full.

And now ?

Much less.

Before, to catch the fish,

we were going there with explosives.

We took lots of them.

?? Is it still allowed?
?? Everyone had fish.

The good times !

Explosives are over.

How is your grandmother?

She confuses me with my mother.

Make her play chess.

It stimulates memory and faculties.

My mother forces me to look for a husband.

His idea of happiness
is having a house and a car.

Moms are said to drive up
real estate prices.

After what they have been through,
they prioritize material security.

So they plan
the work and the life of their children,

so that they stay by their side
as brave obedient kids.

Sometimes parents find
their children ungrateful.

They argue, because the children
refuse to be their instruments.

Our parents had it hard.

Most have sacrificed everything
for their children.

In return, they expect
children to obey them.

When they get older

marriages based
on material security

are suddenly meaningless.

Boredom and loneliness prevail.

They only have the kids
to hang on to.

They are contradictory.

They blame us for being weak,

while hoping
that we won't have to suffer.

But any individual

must be built independently.

No one can do it for him.

"Common name: camphor tree.

"Age: 300 years old."

Imagine what he must have seen ...

Yes, they say he has a soul.

And so ... how old are you?

I am 37 years old.

And you ?

Devine.

I do not know.

Really ?

Secret for now.

This tree is magnificent.

Look at all these people swimming.

Do you want to go swimming?

Me ?

I prefer dry land.

Did you study abroad,
and came back?

Near the Mont de la Cigogne,
there is a whirlpool.

As large as it is,
it always comes back to the same point.

Like me.

You are not answering me.

I was not allowed
to bathe here,

because of the whirlpools.

We bet ?

What?

That I swim faster
than you do on foot.

Impossible.

We try ?

It's okay ?

It's okay.

You scared me.

You didn't believe me.

Get dressed quickly.

You scared me very much.

?? Can I introduce you to someone?
?? Who ?

My father.

?? Now ?
?? Yes.

?? Are you sure ?
?? Come.

?? Is he on his boat?
?? Yes.

He was a fisherman,
like your second uncle.

?? Really ?
?? Yes.

Have you always been a good swimmer?

Not too bad.

I grew up on a boat.

Everything is explained.
You are a river fish.

I had to live on the boat
with my parents.

One day, I almost drowned.

I was in primary school.

I remember,

it was the night
i was sleeping in the cabin.

My father barged in

and woke me up from a slap.

I didn't understand what was going on.

And then...

he ran to the bow
to try to tack,

and then at the stern,
to start the engine.

I still didn't understand.

It was then that I saw
a large barge coming upon us .

The barge avoided us by a hair.

Because of the fog?

The fog is dangerous,

but that night was clear.

Boatmen sometimes fall asleep
at the rudder.

There have been several instances of collisions.

Entire families drowned.

Dangerous, right?

Very.

My parents decided
to give up fishing,

because of the danger.

I love the landscapes of the river.

I want to continue studying
the subject of my thesis,

a painted scroll of these landscapes

titled "A Thousand Leagues of Jiangdong".

The eastern basin of the Blue River
including three provinces and Shanghai,

was called Jiangdong.

The painting is in three rolls.

One of them is at the Fuyang Museum.

Its theme is the Fuchun River,
the mores and customs of the time.

The other two scrolls are said
to be in a temple in Hangzhou.

I hope to see them.

You make me want to see them.

And you, why did you come back?

My parents would not have accepted
that I live elsewhere.

They would have kidnapped me!

You know, in school, I
was a "superstar"!

But yes !

I was playing in the school theater group
.

We had put on a play
called

"Beyond the Wall",
and we got a prize.

"I had a dream.

“Our little temple
was on top of a mountain.

"This mountain rested
on the back of a giant tortoise.

"This turtle was swimming in the ocean,
endlessly ...

"My master and I were on his back.

"We ate blackberries

"while contemplating the waters.

"Flying fish were
leaping out of the waves.

“They were carrying children on their backs.

"In the distance could be seen ships.

"Heavy clouds on the horizon

"hid the sacred mountains
at the end of the world.

“We could see another island.

“On the island there was also
a master and his disciple.

"And I have often thought

"what if there really was
an ocean under the mountain,

"I would make
a bamboo boat,

"and my boat would sail
to the sound of a melody.

"This is where the peace and joy is.

"When you run over the water,

"bamboo under your feet ...

"you have the impression of flying away!

"I don't want to swim.

"I dream of a ship under the mountain.

“Like during the Ghost Festival,
I would sail on the Master's boat.

"This boat would be big enough

"to carry my masters,
Ah Wang and my mother.

"On board this ship,

"we would travel through rivers and seas,
driven by the wind,

"without ever changing course!

"I hope a ship is
waiting under the mountain,

"if there really is only one ocean
under the mountain."

So ?

I did not expect
this magic trick, well done!

And you ?

Have you always been a good swimmer?

I grew up on the water.

I may be ...

a born swimmer.

The ferry is going to leave, let's hurry.

?? That one ?
?? Yes.

?? Is your father on board?
?? Yes.

Grandmother...

Looked.

Gift.

You can write down what interests you,
your joys and your sorrows.

It will help you remember
what you forget.

What a hassle ...

Not at all.
It’s your homework assignment.

I will watch it regularly.

Well...

We play !

Guxi,
where were you this morning?

?? I had to do.
?? Do what?

I don't want you to see Mr. Jiang anymore.

The Wang family and I
have been waiting for you all morning.

To you, mom.

Play with grandma.

I have to talk to you.
This morning...

Grandmother is very strong.

Your uncle went to great lengths
for this date.

Serve, grandmother.

Take the time to phone
young Wang.

Write to him.

You hear ?

Professor Jiang!

Are you a parent of a student?

I am Guxi's father.

Nice to meet you.

If you have time I
would like to talk to you.

Mr. Jiang,
how old are you?

32 years old ?

How much do you earn per month?

Just over 4,000.

Excluding contributions,
that's a little over 100,000 per year.

You are a good teacher.

Why not try your luck
in town?

I lived in a big city.

My salary went into the rent.

Between food, clothes

and transport, there was nothing left.

Life is easier here.

Housing is expensive everywhere.
In the 20,000 m².

For a couple with a child,
100 m² are needed.

This is a minimum of 2 million.

You have a stable job

and a good job,

but these 2 million represent
20 years of salary.

Realize.

You would be the owner
at 50 years old.

Can your family help you?
Do they have any savings?

My parents are not rich.

I only rely on myself.

And for accommodation, all
you have to do is pay a deposit.

I can borrow
from my Caisse

and take advantage of the low rates
granted to teachers.

It's not so bad.

In other words, your salary will go
into monthly repayments.

What will you and Guxi live on?

You will always be strapped for cash.

I have ideas to do better.

I am writing a detective novel.

What is it about ?

I adopt the detective genre

to talk about the environment.

The story takes place
in the early 90s.

In the era of the economic boom,

the Fuchun River has been severely polluted
by the paper mills.

Past the waves of the Milky Way

We walk to the Land of Clouds

Past the Land of Clouds

Where will we go?

In these distant lands

Shines a golden glow

The Morning Star is a beacon

That lights the way

?? Well done !
?? Thanks, that's too much.

Your tablets.

?? That is why ?
?? For the heart.

You poison me.

Who is this?

Me.

Your elder's wife.

You have a darker complexion.

Tell me...

when you are gone,

who will you leave the house to?

To my younger brother.

He keeps me company.

He is the most obedient.

He is obedient,
but what is he capable of?

Let him take care of you, then.

Let's stop talking about it.

I heat some water
for your foot bath.

This is how
you can bring down the opponent.

He gives in under the blow.

?? Hard hit.
?? It hurts like hell!

Aim for the ribs.

With a tight fist,

nails well tucked in,

the fist surface is flat
to enhance the impact.

I stop. The rest tomorrow.

It hurts.

You know,

this Jiang goes to great lengths.

If our daughter loves him, why not?

No way !

He is old, without a house or a car.

Not even an apartment on Fuyang Street.

Your daughter

don't listen to us anymore
like when she was little.

The Wangs want to marry their son.
It's the perfect match.

With him, our family problems
would be solved.

Think about me.

Your brothers, let's not talk about it.

All broken arms.

I have never seen worse.

You forget the millions
loaned to your brother.

I spoke to him ten times about it,
never seeing a penny again.

At least he invests!

Your brother, he loses everything at the game!

If our daughter marries young Wang,

I will have a return on my loan.

Grandmother...

i am in love with a boy.

Do you want to meet him?

You will help me decide

if this is him, the man of my life.

Okay ?

It’s a long time.

I wouldn't want to be wrong.

Shuxi...

I am Guxi.

You are confusing with my grandfather.

I have a confession to make to you.

My two husbands

had been chosen by my parents.

They told me to go back to Shanghai,
and I obeyed.

When they brought me to Fuyang,
I obeyed.

A husband is for life.

Choose to be with the one you love.

Otherwise,
you will have regrets all your life.

Fengjuan...

our young man
is courageous and hardworking.

He does not play, he is faithful.

One day,

you will have your own restaurant.

So what,

he will be the boss,
in charge of the kitchen.

You will be the boss

who receives money from customers.

By counting the tickets one by one.

You will have more and more customers,

and the restaurant

will grow from year to year.

The dust of the street
will turn to gold powder!

I need to tell you about
your son's condition.

The main problem
is that trisomy 21

weakens his immune system.

He has a lung infection.

This infection is serious.

The level of oxygen in the blood is low,

between 60 and 70%.

We don't see any improvement,

I suggest transferring him
to intensive care.

It will probably be necessary to intubate him

to relieve
his breathing problems.

What is the cost of this care?

The daily cost is approximately

3,000 or 4,000 yuan
for the first few days.

If his condition does not improve
after a while,

this rate may increase.

Is Lian sending you?

So...

What do you have in view?

How much does the rental cost?

500 yuan per day.

20 000 the guarantee.

?? At purchase ?? 30 000.
?? I have to see if I can.

You press there.

The die is there.

It has moved.

Then, after each bet, you call again.

It is necessary to reaffirm.

Here...

And we don't touch it anymore.

The "treasure" is there.

And after, there.

If the "treasure" is headed here,
it starts there,

and it continues there,
then from here to there.

Clockwise.

In that sense.

I am not a bank.
It's too easy.

If you don't want to lend me money,
too bad.

I will ask my sponsor.

I told him about it.

This business will be successful for me,
I have planned everything.

It will pay me back.

Here.

?? I ask my sponsor.
?? Who is this godfather?

Celui de Xinyi.

Lend me your car.

De Xinyi?

?? Did you ask him ?
?? Yes, on the phone.

I'll go see him.

Okay.

You go-y.

Not lagging.

I make the round trip.

?? Big Brother !
?? What?

Thanks for looking after mom.

As usual,
since you're not doing anything.

I promise not to disappoint you again.

If I can make money,

I owe you.

I take you at your word.

You are still young,
you have your life ahead of you.

You can change and turn the page.

Start, I'll guide you.

Be careful.

Stopped ! Stop!

Are you his big brother?

Who's the guy who just left?

My brother.

Your brother owes me $ 1 million.

A million ?

What can I do?

That bastard got the hell out of it.

He told us to come find you,
and that you would pay us.

?? Really ?
?? It was you who just helped her escape.

Whatever.

You helped him get away!

You're saying nonsense !

?? I say anything?
?? He borrowed my car from me!

?? You helped him escape!
?? I helped him with nothing!

You were waving at him.

This is my car!

We do not care ! Paid !

I don't owe you anything!

Paid !

You are completely sick!

?? Do I owe you money?
?? A little !

Thug!

Planned relocation and renovation
Signing of contracts

Fuchun Street
Status of Compensation Contracts

There you are, my oldest.

What good wind brings you, my brother?

I have to talk to you.

You could have called me.

It is better to speak verbally.

Our building

going to be demolished.

Good news. Did you sign the contract?

On a signé.

Fishing money can wait.

So much the better.

There is something else.

It's our turn
to take mom to us,

but she will have to
stay with you.

The time we are relocated.

She can't live on your boat.

It wouldn't be certain.

We will participate in the costs.

Listen.

We are brothers, we tell each other everything.

You know that in his condition

it must be changed and washed.
It's your sister-in-law who does it.

With the restaurant, we are overwhelmed,
and your sister-in-law owes more

shopping and keeping accounts.
It is already too much.

It's not a man's job.

I can't promise anything.
I have to discuss it with her.

Heard.

I'll give you an answer soon.

I will try to convince her.

Did you have a good fishing?

It hasn't rained for 10 days.

There is no fish.

According to legend,
there was a devoted son in Fuyang

whose mother, long bedridden,

was seized with a desire for fish.

He dug a hole in the ice
of the Fuchun River and waited.

A fish, moved by his piety,
jumped out of the water.

The boy cut the fish in half
and put one half back in the water.

It came back to life
under the name of "Pious Fish".

Moved by filial piety.

Hence its name.

Eat.

You haven't eaten anything.

Look.

The neighborhood is well equipped.

Very green, well laid out,

with a swimming pool.

Everything is good, close to the metro ...

Boss is Youjin's brother.

When I claimed our money,
he assaulted me.

Who are you ? What do you want ?

This is my boss, Wang Wei.

Why you insulted my guys

when did they claim our money?

Why are you asking me for it?

Why to me?

It’s my moron brother’s debt.

Go and claim it from him.

We couldn't catch him.

Why are you insulting my guys?

You too are a boss.

The debtor is responsible,
and it's not me.

Pay what you owe.

I didn't borrow any money from you.

That's none of my business.

That's a lot of money.

What tells me
you're not lying?

Ask your little brother.

You insulted us.

You have to pay.

But I don't owe you anything!

It is here ?

He doesn't live here,
and it's none of my business.

Do you like your restaurant?

You won't get anything.
I don't owe you anything.

What do I owe you?

You don't care about your restaurant.

Over here, Mr. Yu.

Are you buying for yourself
or for your son?

For my son.

He is getting married, it is for the couple.

We are here at the sales office.

This model shows
the entire neighborhood.

Coming, you must have walked along
the Fuchun river,

on this side.

Here we see the whole project.

There is a swimming pool.

The district forms a large square.

Everything is ready to live.

The homes for sale
are in these buildings.

How much per square meter?

From 20,000, on average.

It has increased.

Yes, it is expensive.

We are here

in the wooded driveway
of our landscaped park.

The beauty of the aisle lies in the fact

that the branches
meet above.

Which keeps you cool
in summer.

In autumn,

the yellow or red foliage
produces a beautiful effect.

I'll show you
inside the neighborhood.

The pool, the club,

the kindergarten, all that.

The place is very attractive.

There is a lot
of neighborhood entertainment.

Your mother likes the kind of house

where we are piled up
like sardines.

The neighbors bought an apartment
2 years ago.

The price has since doubled.

Fishing does not earn enough.

Certainly not for accommodation like that.

If it wasn't your mother,

your brother could pay us
what he owes us.

My sister-in-law refuses
to just pay them.

Besides, they argue.

Guxi left,
she refused the marriage,

the one his mother had arranged.

My sister-in-law got sick from it,

he had to be hospitalized.

It's your niece's fault.

His mother had already seen too much.

It's like that.

The little one will suffer too.

We have had it all our lives.

If our Yangyang comes out,
it will be fine.

As long as he is a good person.

I prepare the crabs.

Yangyang!

One!

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Take these cakes to Guxi.

And the crabs.

Be nice to your cousin.

Tell him to come to dinner,
and reassure his mother.

Weiwei ?

?? Where are you, Yangyang?
?? I'm taking my break.

Tomorrow my whole family will be there.

My uncle is a smoker, you must give him
two cartons of good cigarettes.

For my grandparents, I suggest
buying a foot massager.

For my parents,
a latest model cell phone.

What do you think ?

With that, they will feel respected.

Party cakes for everyone else.

Weiwei, this is all going to ruin me.

We will share.

It will be said that you paid for everything.

You will have to put on a good face

helping my mother with the dishes,

drinking glasses with my father and uncle.

Make them happy.

Alright, I'll do my best.

Serve yourself.

Take back some crab.

Mom, this is my fiancee.
Do you find her pretty?

We saw each other at Mont de la Cigogne,
at the foot of the camphor tree.

I have another photo

where she dances at Yu Dafu Park.

I have another one ...

where we see her fishing.

I have to talk to you

of what Ying and I discussed.

It's about

from our mother.

He needs help at home.

If we find a suitable one,

we will pay his salary.

But our mother will stay with you.

The problem is not
my extra work.

I looked for a home help.

The problem is,
your mom might hit her.

And if she runs away from home,
who will be responsible?

The other day I saw an old friend again.

We drank shots.

This is how I learned

that he ran a retirement home.

I might take her out for dinner
someday.

I did not see your mother

end up in a hospice.

We do not have a choice.

We did everything we could.

She is not getting any younger.

She doesn't even realize
what we're doing anymore .

In retirement homes,
they play mah-jong, cards ...

They have TV.

At home, she would feel alone.

It's true, society has evolved.

?? You are right.
?? She would have it all.

Youfu!

Fengjuan!

Madame Jin.

Good evening.

We have dinner with the family.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

You should not have.

Where is your mother-in-law?

She is watching television
in her bedroom.

Fengjuan, as I always say,

I envy the family you have.

Come to think of it ...
we lost our parents very early on.

We could not watch over them
as we should have.

I came to talk to you ...

by Guxi and Professor Jiang.

I know.

I thought...

Jiang is a value in our school.

A good teacher and a good guy.

We parents have our ideas, that's
understandable.

But we must respect
the choices of our children.

Today
is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I hope that on this feast day,

you will accept their love.

May the family be reunited and happy.

Is not it ?

Come on, Guxi.

Mr. Jiang.

?? Happy birthday ...
?? Do not enter.

Go away.

Fengjuan...

Go away.

?? Mom !
?? Go away !

Give them a chance!

If he leaves, I go with him!

Outside !

If you go with him,
no need to set foot here again.

?? Are you sure ?
?? Certainly.

This is Mr. Jiang,
my granddaughter's fiancé.

This is Guxi, my granddaughter.

I recognize her.

Don't chase them.

My poor brain is
not doing very well anymore,

but I have been waiting a long time
to see them again.

Don't chase them.

I have waited so long for you ...

I waited for you every day.

I saved this for you.

My little...

I did what you said.

I waited for you to come back

to read my notebook.

I have noted everything correctly.

I did my duty.

Let's continue the fight
for urban renewal!

Did you know that Wang Wei
had ransacked the restaurant?

Sooner or later I'll have his skin.

Already he had thrown me
to the river ...

You are no match.

Otherwise, we would have collected our money a
long time ago.

It is said everywhere
that we make money with gambling.

As a result, everyone is
trying to rip us off.

Say, boss, how much does he owe us?

100,000 in capital,
200,000 with interest.

He got the hell out of it.

The number you dialed is
no longer assigned.

A slot machine?

Kangkang left the hospital?

The doctors
did not give him 3 days.

He got lucky

that his immune system
holds up.

When he was born, doctors
gave him three years to live.

And he's already 19.

"In love, what matters most
is trust.

"I wish our friendship will
last forever.

"Forever.

"Lu Bin, 24 avril 1989."

"My best wishes for health and success.

"Since we saw each other,

"everything I see around me

"only makes me sad.

"I left without saying anything.

"Know the,

"back home,

"I didn? t close the eye all night.

"I was in my bed,
on the verge of tears.

"This is all
totally unusual to me .

"What I witnessed that day
must be

"the result of what your father
made you endure.

"I disappointed you.

"Forgive me. It's
to give me everything

"that you have suffered so much.

"Don't let
the difficulties get you down .

"Face them bravely,

"accept them with courage.

"I worry about you,

"because of your daily arguments
with your father.

"I fear that sometimes

"he screams at you because of me.

"Courage !

"May our love last
and make you happy."

What do you say about this one?

It is well.

This is the correct size.

It's a bit expensive.

Don't think about the price.

You have to make a good impression.

Weiwei's mother finds me skinny.

For a boy, that's okay.
When you get married you will get fat.

Be kind and polite to his family.

Give a hand,
don't play on your cell phone.

Help them tidy up, be considerate.

My cousin Guxi is getting married.

I want to go there on a personal basis.

If you go,
you will represent the family.

You can only go
if your uncle does.

Family is painful.

"You live for me, I live for you."
Always doing the accounts.

It’s killing.

A family should be united and peaceful.

Necessarily.

It was your uncle who got you
this job at the factory.

Don't go to the wedding.

You would hurt your uncle.

I get it.

I'm still
on my cousin's side.

Her fiancé is doing his best.

Weiwei is wise. She doesn't care
if you don't have an apartment.

I know.

So much the better.

Weiwei must not
do like your cousin

and gets angry with his parents.

We must avoid conflicts.

All parents understand
other parents.

Not all girls are
like your cousin

ready to accept the consequences.

I hope your cousin
won't have any regrets

in getting older.

In my time, no one would have dared

think of it this way.

?? Have you been together for 2 years?
?? Three years.

She went to Hangzhou,

sell tea
at the Soul Retreat Temple.

It was a good time.
We got along well.

?? Were you from the same village?
?? Yes, from the same village.

We went out for a long time.

Three years is a long time.

It was not like today
when you don't hang out.

It was a different time.

We were simple, we had manners.

Other time.

?? Things are getting hot ?
?? Not too much.

It's almost done.

Did it go wrong?

My mother didn't even look at him.

In fact, mothers are looking
for "nice parties".

Those they find us

meet their own criteria.

My mother kicked him out of the house.

That night my mom sat,
my dad sat down.

My mother was green with anger,

she called me all names,

and I was crying

I was sniffling, gout in my nose.

I told my mom everything.

When I was done

I felt that my father
had been touched in the heart.

He understood
that he didn't know anything about me.

Same for you.

We have the same kind of family.

Our parents overprotected us.

They treat us like children,

not like adults.

Tell them :

"If you decide my life,
what will you do if I'm unhappy?"

Non ?

"Who will I complain to? To you?"

What do you notice on this painting?

Describe to me what you see,
in English.

Frank ?

Full of mountains and rivers.

It is very well seen.

Excellent remark.

Why all these mountains and rivers?

The work belongs to the Chinese tradition
of painting called "shanshui":

mountain and water.

It is a major genre
of literate painting.

Where does this suitcase come from?

Your uncle picked it up
from a demolished building.

L’infusion d’osmanthe sent bon.

It's bitter.

But fragrant.

"Happy Birthday".

We lived here for 30 years.

It was demolished in 3 days.

Weiwei, go and see.

Look, the metro will be right there.

It will be very convenient to go
to Hangzhou or to go to work.

This is the campus
where your children will be studying.

Is the campus this way?

Right next to the station.

The location is perfect.

I make him try.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Less tight.

The color is vivid.

That's good, a bright red.

Less tight.

You like her ?

It fits you well.

I like her.

?? Why are you buying this from me?
?? For your birthday.

My birthday ?
I had completely forgotten.

My brother !

Shall we pray to the Buddha from the boat?

Where do you go from, you little bastard?

It's been a long time.
You're back.

?? It's for you.
?? It's too much.

It’s the New Year.

And I give you back what I borrowed.

We didn't wait until after.

This is what I owe you.

?? Drop it.
?? Take!

I care about it.

And that is for
Yangyang's apartment .

He can do without.

Take and don't argue.

The family is fine ?

It's okay.

You planted us well, animal.

You hurt our elder.

Do you realize
the harm you've done?

I had no choice.

Youjin...

Your brother doesn't want to see you.

He still resents you.

?? Doesn't he want to see me?
?? Because of your nonsense.

Never mind.

I'll give you the money back.

New year gifts.

I see you have changed.

You finally settle down.

I'll talk to your brother
in a few days

I will say that you have changed,

that we talked to each other,
and that he must be forgiving.

Tell him how much I regret

that I'm sorry.

I will tell him. I will convince him.

How is my mother?

Your mother...

Mom...

It's me, Youjin.

I returned. I'll take you.

Kangkang t’attend.

Kangkang, maman.

He's waiting for you at home.

I'll take you home.

Wait there.

?? What do you want, Wang Wei?
?? Talk about business.

I have already reimbursed you.

Let's not talk about the past.
I have a case for you.

What kind of business ?

I am with the boss
of a paper factory. Stuffed with cash.

You understand ?

We would do 50-50.

I see.

Does she have money?

Sure and certain.

No question of doing 50-50.

We do 30-70.

Up to you.

Its good ?

30-70...

I spent a
lot of time chatting about it.

Make me an offer.

She's full of money.

I repeat myself :

30-70.

If it's okay with you, we roll.

Otherwise, we forget.

Okay.

Goes for 30-70.

White Tiger !

Ph ?? nix!

Damn it.

Mr. Bai is for 5,000.
I'm taking 3,000 here.

Here it is lost.

3 000.

3,000 barely.

6 500.

I thought the lady had won.

Here, 5,000.

Plus 1 000.

1 500.

Do you spend a bit?

You're always begging for money.

You could be more generous.

Get out!

This is cheating.

Stop a little.

Give him another 100.

The lady asks me,
take your 100 and go.

Get out!

It is not serious.

?? 6,000 on the Tigris.
?? 3,000.

Madame is playing 3,000 on the Phoenix.

2,000 on Black Turtle and Green Dragon.

These 3,000 are on what?

?? Mr. Bai?
?? 6,000 on the Tigris.

Two players on the Tiger.

Ready? I open !

?? Tortoise !
?? Come on, Turtle.

Ph ?? nix!

Many.

If you eat,
we'll go to Shanghai tomorrow.

I'll take you home.

Many.

Where you go ?

In the toilet ?

Sleep.

Here is a united couple.
Today is an auspicious day.

I come to pray for their union.

?? Name of groom?
?? Jiang Yi.

The groom is called Jiang Yi.

Bride's name?

Guxi.

Light the incense.

Greet Heaven and Earth.

Facing the river.

Greet your noble parents,

facing the Camphor tree.

Greet each other.

May a child come to you quickly,

as you grow old together.

May long life be granted to you,

may your love remain.

May you live in peace.

?? A small miracle.
?? Does he prefer his father?

?? It seems that his deep voice ...
?? Make him react.

Cover yourself, he will catch a cold.

Pregnancy increases
the temperature of the body.

It's your turn.

With the new policy,

Jiang and you
could have two children.

We try.

I received the invitation.

Your example gave me a
lot of courage.

Everything will be alright.

We, we went step by step,

and look at the belly I have ...

Let's go for a walk.

Okay.

I show you what is called
"Traditional Chinese Landscape".

?? You are super mobile.
?? I'm only 6 months old.

Do you remember the lady
dressed in purple?

?? The one who served the tea?
?? I was a waitress, too.

Then I
worked my way up to the position I have.

It was not easy.

During my summer internship,

I said to the deputy director:
"In 3 years, I will earn 1 million."

He paid for my head.

He said, "Not possible."

It was your dream.

Now that I have realized it, I
would like to see it again

and say to him: "I succeeded!"

?? You see ?
?? Yes.

Now that you have succeeded, take
care of your health, do not overexert yourself.

I don't dare to rest too much,

because the project
is a priority of the box.

As soon as you let go a bit,
you run the risk of being replaced.

Although I'm pregnant,
I have to stay put and work.

Anyway, I envy you.

You make your life
without needing your family.

I am released from my family,

but the company is keeping
me on a leash.

Over time, I have come to tell myself
that I am not happy.

Every time I think about it

I can't quite figure out
what's wrong.

That is "little yin".

I start again.

The sign I see
isn't bad at all.

If we look at the nature of the signs,

three yang and three yin

mean "return of the soul".

The person is in the southwest,

and she left 2 days ago.

The signs indicate

that she will be back at the end of the month.

You ask for the oracle with a sincere heart.
The sign is good.

"Return of the soul"
means that it will return.

This soul wanders the world,

but do not worry,

she is not in danger.

Souls communicate:
parents think of children,

children to parents.

I think she will be back
in five days.

We release a life
so that our mother

pass this test

and return home quickly.

That whoever catches this fish

return another life to the river.

Buddha, protect us.

Amitabha.

She wanted
to gather us around her.

She breathes.

Call us if needed.

Thank you Doctor.

I think mom

should come live with me.

It would relieve you.

She won't stay
with us for long .

What do you think ?

I see you want to do
your duty as a son.

Now that you've come back

I will give you some advice
as an elder.

A proverb from Fuyang says:

"Whoever eats too much tripe
risks eating the crap."

You don't earn your money honestly

it's dirty money.

I advise you to move on.

Come back, Kangkang!

Go slower.

Fengjuan, how is your daughter?

I do not want to know it.

For me, she's dead.

I raised her for nothing.

Kangkang, come back!

Slower !

Be nice, don't run.

Comment va Yangyang?

?? He and Weiwei are happy.
?? He is fine ?

But his in-laws
don't see us well.

They don't value Yangyang.

Cadet !

You should speed things up
with your girlfriend.

Don't let mom leave us
without seeing you married.

It's time to reassure your family,
you hear?

From now on,

I will take care of mom.

Will you get there?

?? Of course.
?? Sure and certain ?

Everything will be alright.

One day, I almost died.

The 5th floor scaffolding
was collapsing.

In the morning, I arrive at work,
and the scaffolding collapses.

One of my colleagues fell.
He survived

despite his skull fractures.

I was lucky.

I also fell,
but at the level of the 2nd,

I was held up
by a bamboo beam.

Downstairs people were yelling at me to jump.

I wanted to jump,

but I had cotton legs.

Some people came to pull me
to a window.

I was livid.

Nothing was found at the hospital.

No injuries.

The boss did not offer me compensation.

Today it would be different.

At the time, there were fewer rules.

And then, I was young.

The boss sent me
canned lychees.

That's all ?

I left the lychees in the dormitory,

and since we lacked everything,
my colleagues ate them.

I managed to eat two.

Uncle, would you like to taste
my chicken soup? This is my first.

Is she done?

So ?

Its good !

My little niece learned to cook.

Glad you like it.
I let it simmer again?

A little more.

I want to take some back.

I will use more.

Grandmother will be happy.

I made it for her.

Her granddaughter cooks well.

My uncle...

I would like to know...

if you have thought of remarrying.

You know, I have nothing to offer.

Who would like to
take care of Kangkang with me?

I have always thought

that you are the best of my uncles.

The adults in the family,
including my parents,

are selfish.

They only think about their interests.

Talk about a family.

Your parents have their own home.

They have to think about their old age.

And think of you too.

While I,

I have nothing.

À part Kangkang.

I must confess

that when he was born,
without your grandmother,

I would have thrown it in the river.

You see, I too am selfish.

Let’s applaud
the newlyweds loudly !

Counting from today,

the bride is part
of the Jiang family.

Can I sing you a song?

Sing with me !

All the people of Fuyang know her.

Clear are the waters of the river

Splendid is the landscape

Let's dive into the Fuchun river

We are those of Fuyang

Forgive me for singing so badly ...

And now
a song on the river.

In my homeland
by the Fuchun river

The sun shines on the mountains and the waters

The spring river flows east

Between the sandy shores,
among the poplars

In my homeland
by the Fuchun river

The sun bathes the green hills
and the blue waters

On the banks stand the hills

Royaume de Sun Quan, patrie de Yu Dafu

Fuchun river, my homeland

Royaume de Sun Quan, patrie de Yu Dafu

Stay with grandma.

With grandmother.

Watch TV.

How much has the boss lost?

Over a million.

She waits for Wang Wei to jump her.

Impossible.

His factory pays big,

and Wang Wei knows it.

Who would want a woman of this age?
Not Wang Wei.

Go yourself.

No way.

Too old.

Do you know where the game is going?

Who are you ? I do not know you.

It was Youjin who dated me.

It is at the top.

Thank you.

Youjin doing his usual thing?

Who told you that ?

Police caught a cheater

in another playroom.

They say Youjin does the same.

We don't care,
let's take care of ourselves.

As long as the cops
don't catch us ...

Place your bets.

5,000, White Tiger.

8 000 !

Ad.

Everything about Green Dragon?

Tortoise !

Come on, Turtle!

What is happening ?

Bizarre !

When we play big,
you hide one of your hands.

What is this hand doing?

I take a cigarette.

Show your pack of cigarettes.

Here !

Show your pockets.

I have nothing in my pockets.
Do you unlock, or what?

You want to see ?

The cops !

The cops are here!

Nobody moves !

Stay here !

Stop me all this!

I watched without playing.

Stay calm !

I was not playing!

I watched without playing.

Fuyang's future
raises high expectations

We will have to build quickly.

There have been too many demolitions.

These sites are a blank page,
we must rebuild.

I hope the metro will open soon,

to revive the city.

It will be convenient to go to Hangzhou.

The renovation of the city will be complete.

The police have come.

At the end of the month,
you'll rent somewhere else.

You make too much noise,
you prevent me from sleeping.

Heard.

Ms. Wu, from Hangzhou,
drove her 87-year-old father,

at Fuyang station.

I take her to see Lake Qiandao

and its thousand islands ...

Mom !

For the new year,
I wish him health ...

Mom !

Stop !

Stop !

Take him away!

"I often think back to my arrival as a
young bride in Fuyang.

"I often went to the river,
which fascinated me.

"The 15th of the 7th lunar month,

Fuyang locals
fly lanterns

"for the festival of ghosts,
birthday of the Bodhisattva of the Underworld.

"I have always been struck
by the homage paid to ancestors.

"We light incense on the threshold,

"we throw lanterns on the water

"to drive demons from the river

"and to pray.

"The lanterns go with the current,

"guiding orphan souls
to the Bridge of Reincarnation.

"One night,

"as night approaches,

"I saw the stars twinkle
one by one.

"In the breeze,
the river was calm and clear.

"Thousands of little lanterns
floated on the waters,

"past the Xianpu Bridge.

"Fire serpent

"floating on the water like
a water dragon,

"the lanterns

"lotus shaped were made of paper.

"Some were wooden boats
of all shapes,

"decorated with multicolored papers.

"Inside were burning candles.

"Very quickly,

"the serpent of lanterns
was in the center of the river,

"illuminating the surroundings

"like a constellation.

"Families,
from toddlers to the elderly,

"came to contemplate the spectacle
from the banks,

"holding fans in his hand.

"It was very cheerful.

"The fishermen were watching the lanterns.

"The rescue boats were patrolling,

"fishermen threw firecrackers.

"Monks were burning mugwort
and playing cymbals

"for the salvation of the souls of the deceased.

"To follow the lanterns,
the rich rented boats

"where did the sound of the flutes come from.

"The lanterns were floating
far or near,

"to the east or to the west.

"It went on all night."

The mother of my future wife
was also opposed to our marriage.

For the dragon boat festival,

the village custom
was to offer neighbors

rice cakes and gifts.

I arrive at my lover's house.

Her mother had just
boiled water.

She throws it to the ground.
She wasn't aiming at me

but she threw water
right at my feet

and she threw my presents out.

A brother of my wife was upstairs.

He hears the noise ...

he runs down the stairs
and takes an ax from the wall,

convinced that I am a thug.

Fortunately,
my future wife stopped him in his tracks.

?? You did better!
?? It is true.

By the way,

the book i wrote is out.

I told you ...

Here.

"Strange story of the nocturnal fisherman
and the young dead".

The story takes place in the 90s.

There were paper mills here.

And so, this man

often goes night fishing
by the river.

One evening, what he brings back
is the body of a young woman.

But oddly,

if the body is half-decomposed,
the face has remained intact,

and very beautiful.

He brings the body home ...

?? What's wrong ?
?? Knee pain.

I carry you?

No, go ahead.

Well.

Go downstairs, I am resting a bit.

?? We are going down ?
?? Go for it.

I am resting a bit.

What happens next?

The woman is at home ...

Your father has put on weight.

When I got to know him,
I thought he walked funny.

But he was a good boxer.

Like that.

I saw he was smart.

When
my feet hurt, he would take me home by bike.

I was playing a joke on him:
"I have arrived."

He said, "Not yet."

He took me to the bridge
at the entrance to the village.

If my uncle passed
he would throw the bike aside

and dragged me by the hand
so that we could hide under the bridge.

Afterwards, I said:

"It's okay, I can go.

"Go home."

He said, "Let's wait a minute."

"No, I have to go home!"

He got back on his bike and left.

Me, I was quite embarrassed ...

It's funny...

When we got to know each other,
