(Adapted from the serialized work "Reborn"

by Qiang Yu)

I hate my dad.

I hate him for being a layabout.

All he did was hurt me and my mom.

But now

I hate myself more.

There's nothing I can do.

I can only allow it to get worse.

Did you know?

Although I still find

seeking justice for Beiyu

a righteous thing to do,

what I did has hurt my father.

That's a fact.

My mom's condition is getting worse.

She'll always get worked up

and fight with my dad.

And my brother has avoided

to come home from school.

I have no idea what I'll do after this.

I used to be mad

because I thought

they'd distorted the truth

and refused to own up to their mistake.

However, I'm no longer angry.

Do all of us face the same thing?

Even though

we're not some ignorant kids,

we're still not able to solve a problem

as easily as adults do?

Well,

it's not even easy

to open up to someone.

Do you think there's an easy solution

to all these problems?

Or

everything will be fine

when we grow up?

I don't know either.

After all

this is also my first time growing up.

But I'm aware of this.

No matter how aggrieved and upset I am,

I can breathe freely

in the world of dancing.

the best dancers in the world.

Alright, these are

the trigonometric formulas.

There are

five trigonometric formulas in total

that you must memorize by heart.

Now let's go over the first question.

We're given point A: (1, √5),

and Y equals 2X, on 2PX.

Find the distance from point A to the directrix of C.

We're looking

for the distance to the directrix.

Make sure you remember that.

Chen Hao, what are you doing?

Did you fall asleep?

Stand up.

You're copying notes

and still managing to sleep?

Show me

how you can sleep while standing.

Ye Zilin!

You're having so much fun, huh?

Teach me how to solve this.

It should be Y squared equals 5X, right?

You're doing trig,

and you can somehow

link it to the directrix distance?

That's pretty impressive!

Well, that should be...

Can you really

separate algebra and geometry?

Ah, algebra and geometry...

Everyone else, focus on the lesson.

You two, stay standing.

If you don't understand,

make sure to take notes.

Now let's break down the first problem.

Y squared minus 2X

equals fifteen, equals zero.

So, what can we derive from this?

(50 days left

until the college entrance exam)

Everyone, these three problems

are key and difficult questions

in senior-year math.

♪You opened a window♪

♪And I saw hope beyond it♪

♪You said something

I couldn't understand♪

♪And I realized what I longed for♪

♪You lit a lamp♪

♪I saw the glow♪

♪You walk away gradually♪

♪Only to discover helplessness♪

♪I haven't really broken free♪

♪I'm just pretending to be silent♪

♪How do I comfort♪

♪The unknown years ahead♪

♪No more wallowing

in this wretched state♪

♪Alone I walk this street of sorrow♪

We tend to believe

(Mental Health)

what we see is the truth.

When others don't share our opinion,

we always feel angry and misunderstood.

But actually, most of the time,

there's no right or wrong

between two parties

that hold different opinions.

Just like this apple.

One side's red, the other side's yellow.

If you only look from one angle,

you'll never see the whole picture.

From different perspectives,

it can look completely different.

So, everyone,

try to step out

of your own point of view

and learn to understand and communicate.

That's a really important step

on the journey to growing up.

Oh, right.

A comic café just opened near my place.

Do you want to visit it this Saturday?

Sure.

But I still have homework to do.

You can do it on Sunday.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Well... Read it yourselves.

(The final death of a person

is being forgotten.)

(No matter how joyful the celebration,

it cannot cover up monstrous sins...)

Poor Qiao Beiyu.

Where did this article come from?

Someone posted it on the forum.

The reason Qiao Qingyu ran away

over winter break

was because she spread this article

at her cousin's wedding

and ruined the whole thing.

How brave of her.

And we even made fun of her for it.

Do you think we' been like

the kind Ms. Le Fan described?

We've been focusing

on one side of the story

and ended up

misunderstanding Qiao Qingyu.

If you're here to settle a score,

I've already bowed and apologized.

If you're here for forgiveness,

the only one in this world

who could forgive you

is already dead.

I'm about to leave Huanzhou, Qing.

I just came to say goodbye.

I don't know

what you think about Nanqiao Village.

You and Yu

were both born and raised in Shunyun.

Maybe Nanqiao Village

was just an old hometown

you reluctantly visited during holidays.

You don't really understand

the complex customs

and traditions there.

But you know what?

Your clarity and courage

come from having a way out.

You could leave any time.

We didn't have that choice.

Bei and I grew up together.

We're the closest ones

in each other's lives.

After college,

we naturally became a couple.

Later, our family found out.

And when she needed me the most,

I backed down.

I struggled so hard

just to leave Nanqiao Village.

I just didn't have the courage

to give up everything for her.

I won't make excuses for myself.

I deserve everything

that's happened to me.

Honestly, when you exposed everything,

I actually felt relieved.

It felt like the huge weight

hanging over me

had finally dropped.

Thank you, Qing.

You set me free.

And I hope my departure

will set you free too.

This is the only thing left of Beiyu's.

You're more worthy

of keeping it than I am.

(Qing, stop dwelling on the past.)

(You have to finish

what Beiyu couldn't.)

(Live the life she never could.)

(That's what she wanted the most.)

Alright, everyone.

The tense we're learning today

is called the pluperfect.

Before we dive into it,

let's review something we've learned,

the past perfect tense.

Thanks for last night.

Alright, repeat after me.

"I love you" in French.

It goes like this.

I love you.

Wang Mumu,

did you really call the cops on me?

You ungrateful brat!

Hands off me!

Why? What're you doing?

Hit me! Go ahead, hit me!

Get over there!

Crying again? That's all you ever do.

Is there anything else you can do?

We're all neighbors!

It's just one bowl of noodles,

how much can it cost?

You brought friends!

Was it just one bowl?

It was several bowls!

And how many times has it been?

She runs a business too.

Well, hasn't she let you run a tab

now and then?

You've got it all wrong.

I've never bought a thing from her.

She's a gossiping old hag.

That's why you should

cut her some slack.

She often gossips

about everyone and everything.

Why should I?

Do you even know

how to get along with people?

Do you hear yourself?

She tells stories about you,

and you're no better

with that mouth of yours.

How is this my fault?

Hasn't she supported

our business before?

Who supported your business?

When did she ever support your business?

How's your appetite lately?

Pretty good.

Anything you feel like eating?

Not really.

I don't even know

what's good to eat during exams.

Is there anything good for brainpower

I should buy?

Ask your classmates.

The school food is good enough.

Oh no, I forgot to grab

the new receipt book.

Wait for me here.

(Ms. Ma's General Store)

Qingyu? It's been a while.

Have you not been helping out

at the shop after school lately?

Oh dear, just look at that little face.

It's all gloomy.

What are you frowning for

at such a young age?

Even the prettiest face

stops looking pretty when you frown.

It's none of your business.

I'm just worried about you.

You got it wrong that day.

I wasn't coming out

of Ming Sheng's place.

You must've seen wrong.

Your mom already told me.

I was the one who saw wrong.

Anyway,

Ming Sheng doesn't live there anymore.

You two won't

see each other again from now on.

Qingyu.

Alright, I'll get back to work.

I'll leave you two to it.

By the way, Mom,

there's this school research project

about wetlands.

I want to go to Qingxi Wetland

this weekend

with Mumu.

She's taking

the college entrance exam is soon,

so it's a good chance to relax a bit.

Sure.

You two can study hard together.

Be back early.

Sit tight.

Here.

Why did you suddenly move?

Does your dad know?

Yeah.

I'm doing the TEF.

It's a closed training class.

They offered dorms,

so I figured

I'd get a change of environment.

I wouldn't feel bored at home.

My dad's caught up in a medical lawsuit.

He doesn't have time to deal with me.

Then why haven't

you been coming to school?

I haven't seen you in ages.

I took a leave.

The teacher said

she wanted to ask my dad about it.

But I figured

he can't control me anyway.

As long

as I stay out of trouble, it's fine.

What about you? How have you been?

It doesn't seem too good.

Alright, stop poking it.

It's becoming undrinkable.

This is Dr. Le Fan's number

at the provincial hospital.

She's my dad's old classmate,

and she's kind.

She's a therapist.

If you ever feel really down,

just give her a call.

Thanks.

Well, give one to Qiao Qingyu too.

She probably needs it even more.

Jiujiu's been with me for two months.

Since I happened to be out today,

I thought I'd set it free.

Isn't this the bird

you and Sheng found together?

I saw it at his place before.

Sheng moved out all of a sudden.

Yeah, I heard.

Yesterday,

I saw him

at the bubble tea shop near school.

He looked dispirited.

I've known him a long time,

so I get him.

If nothing

had happened between you two,

he wouldn't be that upset.

I'm not blaming you

because I feel bad for him.

I'm upset because you didn't tell me

the whole story.

So it bugged me.

Sheng isn't the dramatic type.

Did you say something

or do something

that made him misunderstand?

Nothing at all.

Ugh, forget it.

No point dwelling on it.

It's all in the past now.

Here's Dr. Le Fan's number

at the provincial hospital.

Keep it.

Sheng made sure I gave it to you.

I want him to feel rest assured.

Let's do it here.

Yeah, here's good.

Why isn't Jiujiu flying out?

Is its injury not healed yet?

What kind of bird

do you think Jiujiu is?

It's still young, so it's hard to tell.

I hope it's an eagle.

It's just too weak for now.

One day it'll spread its wings

and take flight.

It'll fly free.

It'll grow up eventually.

Mumu.

I don't want to grow up.

Growing up means turning into

the kind of adult we don't like.

Will growing up really

make things better?

I have no clue.

Quick, let me take a look.

Will it kill you to let me see?

Call me Dad.

Dad!

Come on, let me see.

Ye Zilin, what are you whispering about?

Say it louder so everyone can hear.

Stop shaking.

Everyone, get to the field!

Quick!

Hurry up!

Stay safe, everyone!

Table four's noodles are ready.

(A 7.8 magnitude earthquake

has struck Xichuan City.)

(According to the State Council's

emergency response plan,)

(the national earthquake

emergency mechanism)

(has now been activated.)

(Relief personnel)

(and supplies

are already being fully mobilized.)

(As the saying goes, when disaster strikes,

help comes from all sides.)

Help whatever you can.

We should help those disaster victims.

Every little bit counts. Do good.

Patient. One at a time.

This is all the money we've got.

It's not much help at all.

But everyone already donated

everything they could.

Why don't we go fundraise on the street?

The more people, the better.

If more people give, the money adds up.

I heard money's not helpful anymore.

What they really need

in the disaster zone is supplies.

That's easy.

We collect donations on the street,

then buy supplies with the money

and deliver them

to the disaster area ourselves.

Sure.

Sounds good to me.

What's good about it?

I get that you want to help

those in the disaster zone.

But you're students.

Your priority is to study.

But...

Don't we study

so we can serve our country?

Exactly.

And now is when our country needs us.

Fine, let me ask you this question.

How much do you think

you can raise on the streets?

Do you even know what supplies

are needed the most?

Transport is cut off at the epicenter.

So, how are you planning

to deliver the supplies?

Even if you make it

to the disaster area,

do you know how to survive aftershocks?

Or are you just going to wait

for someone else to come to your rescue?

Class, what I'm trying to say

is our society

is like a precise machine.

Only when everyone does their part

can that machine run efficiently

and handle sudden emergencies.

One day, when you grow up,

you'll naturally become part of it.

But for now, all you have to do

is study.

Got it?

Alright.

Turn to page 38.

Let's continue

the question we didn't finish yesterday.

Actually, I've already

gone over this problem before.

But half of you

still got it wrong.

Why?

There are two reasons.

First, you didn't actually

master the answering technique.

Second,

you didn't read the question carefully.

Alright, let me show you...

I was totally wrong about Sun.

I didn't expect him to be cold-blooded.

He doesn't care at all

about the disaster victims.

Exactly. And he told us

what we need to do is study.

He just looks down on us,

and he thinks we're just troublemakers.

I don't think that's what Mr. Sun meant.

Stop defending him already.

Yeah, we all heard that.

Don't you think

Mr. Sun has no life outside of work?

I never heard of him dating anyone.

Isn't that what they call a workaholic?

Totally.

And he's getting old. How scary.

Ready? Go!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Alright.

That's it for today.

This Saturday,

we'll be representing the school

at the community's charity performance

for disaster relief.

So when you're home,

practice the moves a bit more.

Especially the coordination

between lead and group dancers.

Okay? Thank you all!

You obviously love dancing

and have a gift for it.

You even helped me

with the choreography.

Why won't you join the dance club?

You know Qiao Beiyu

was really good at dancing, right?

Ever since what happened to her,

my mom's had this bias against dancing.

She thinks girls who dance

are all flirty and wanton.

After what happened before,

she's even more paranoid now,

always watching me like a hawk.

If she found out that

I've been dancing like Beiyu did,

I honestly can't imagine

what she might do.

So, are you just going to live

your whole life on your mom's terms?

Maybe that's the only way

no one gets hurt.

Here comes a layup.

Come on. One, two.

I'm not even blocking!

Fake!

Fake block!

How fake!

You scared me!

What are you doing?

It's Sun.

Sun got scolded by the principal.

That's really him.

It was always him scolding us,

but for once we got to see

someone scold him!

Yeah.

Do you think

maybe the principal found out

that Sun didn't show enough sympathy

for the victims?

So that's why he got scolded?

For sure.

Right?

Certainly.

Mr. Sun's usually really kind to us.

You guys shouldn't

be talking bad about him.

You just don't get it.

He did us a small favor

by being kind to us.

But ignoring

the suffering of disaster victims

is a matter of principle.

We can't ignore the big picture

just because of some small favors.

Yeah. Exactly.

He's not even from Huanzhou, is he?

So what?

Don't change the subject, okay?

When I turned in my homework today,

I heard the Class 4 homeroom teacher say

Mr. Sun's parents

are still in the disaster zone.

And he hasn't been able to reach them.

Alright. Class is starting.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

(Chemistry Laboratory 5)

Stand up.

Good morning, sir.

Please sit down.

Who's on duty today?

The podium's so tidy.

Well, why are you so quiet today?

Did you get into trouble again?

Are you trying to redeem yourselves?

Tell me, class monitor.

Mr. Sun.

Yes?

From now on,

we'll really pay attention in your class.

And from now on, no one's allowed

to joke about you again.

That's all I wanted to say.

That's nothing wrong

being a bachelor, Mr. Sun.

Alright, turn to...

Page 90.

(Sea Water)

Pass it over...

Here, take it!

Nice shot!

Was that in?

You still playing?

We're out.

Bye!

Water? Hao?

Yeah...

Sheng.

That medical dispute your dad's in

is all over the Internet now.

Yeah, I heard too.

They call Dr. Ming a heartless doctor

who overtreated the patient for profit

and caused their death.

It's gone viral.

Well,

we know it's total nonsense.

We have faith in your dad's character.

What he did has nothing to do with me.

There, there.

Drop it.

Speak of the devil.

Uncle Qiuxin.

Sheng, we're heading off first.

Bye, Uncle Qiuxin.

Bye.

Why haven't you come home?

You're not answering my calls either.

Didn't Sun call you?

I signed up

for an intensive French course.

It runs until the exam.

I'm staying there.

Shouldn't you have called me personally

to tell me that yourself?

Didn't you think I'd be worried?

But did you tell me about your stuff?

Oh.

If you're talking about

the medical dispute,

that did happen all of a sudden.

I just haven't had the chance

to tell you about it.

Apart from that,

why didn't you tell me

it wasn't you who drove my mom away?

I...

Sheng.

There are things

you're really better off not knowing.

You played me like a fool.

I hated the wrong person like an idiot.

Are you proud of yourself?

It'd just take a few words,

but why couldn't you say them?

Do you enjoy torturing yourself?

From now on,

if you won't tell me anything,

don't try to control me, then.

Just take good care of yourself.

What are you doing?

Qingyu.

Have you seen my MP3 player?

I told you to keep your stuff away.

Every time you need it,

you can't find it.

Is it here?

(China Post,

Huanzhou People's Hospital, Qiao Qingyu)

Why was my delivery with you?

Oh, I remember now.

You weren't home that day,

so I accepted it for you.

Then

I totally forgot to give it to you.

(Huanzhou People's Hospital

Medical Record, Qiao Beiyu)

This is Qiao Beiyu's medical record.

(Dermatology & STDs Department,

Initial Condition Assessment)

(Blood test levels are normal.

Condition is under control and stable.)

(CD4+ T-cell levels

have returned to normal range.)

(Condition is stable. Continue medication.)

Beiyu passed away

on Lunar New Year's Eve last year.

But according to this record,

in December of the year before,

her test results were all still stable.

From stable condition to her death,

it was barely two months.

Isn't that way too fast?

Do you think Beiyu's death

wasn't inevitable,

but rather a choice?
