Xiao Bai...

Xiao Bai...

Aunty Qin...

Quickly...find madam

Aunty Zhang

Sister-in-law...

Sister-in-law...

Xiao Bai

You didn't have to run off, okay!

Sister-in-law

Xiao Bai, don't ever leave me

Let's go back

Go back?!

Go back where?

Go back home

Do we have a home?

Good morning, miss

Dad

I'm going to school

Good, don't be late

Need any pocket money?

I... I'd like to move-in to live at the school

Why?

Because...

So you want to leave me too!

No, Dad!

I can't stay in this home

I understand...

Can I at least try and persuade you?

Let me look at my darling daughter each day, huh!

Oh, Dad!

Please don't cry; will you promise me?

I promise you

Come right back after school

You don't recognize me?

Zhong Ning

It's been many years; you've grown up to be so pretty

Is uncle Zhao at home?

Yes, come with me

Hey, please wait here

Father

Guess who's here?

Who?

Come on in

Uncle Zhao

Zhong Ning... when did you come back?

Yesterday

Great

Don't go

Let's chat after I return from school

Sure

See you in a while

Okay

Didn't expect you'd return from England so suddenly!

Uncle, I've graduated from medical school

So, what are your plans hereafter?

Sir, I'd like to open a clinic

A noble thought

How do you intend to go about it?

I plan...

to sell the old house my late father left me

So where are you staying now?

Temporarily at a hotel

Zhong Ning, you can move in here

That'd be a bother for you

No, son. You'll be well cared for here

Besides... you can keep my company

Xiao Bai

Xiao Bai...

Xiao Bai

Xiao Bai

You must keep me company

Strange!

What're you thinking of?

Nothing much

Zhong Ning

Do you still recall the old days?

Yes, I never bullied you

When brother bullied me, you came to my defense

Oh right... where's your brother?

He's gone abroad

Yu Bei, who lives in that room?

My sister-in-law

She has gone insane

Brother pushed her over the edge

Why don't you send her to the hospital?

She doesn't want to go there

How come?

No one can convince her

She's got any relatives?

No. When she became sick

... I kept her company

But now she even fails to acknowledge me

Only nanny Zhang takes care of her now

She's so pitiful!

You took psychiatry, right;

Why don't you take a look at her?

I'm afraid...

Afraid of what?

Don't you want to be a good doctor?

If you can't even cure my sister-in-law

how can you cure other patients?

Don't be cross with me for saying this

Just wanted to lift your confidence

... and also have my sister-in-law treated

Okay. Say, I'm prepared to cure her;

But will Uncle agree?

You want to cure Xiu Xin's sickness?

Yes, Uncle

Dad, actually I requested him

It's also of my own will

You know about Xiu Xin's case-history?

I told him about it

Why did you tell him?

Sister-in-law is so pitiful

Brother should be blamed

Don't mention him again

Yu Pang turned out to be an ungrateful son

I loved him so much...

and cared about his welfare

When he married,

I built him a home

Xiu Xin is a good wife

She's good to him in every way

but he never treated her well

On the contrary flirted around behind her back

He gambled and drank...

and cheated her of her money

Not only that;

When I was in Singapore...

on business,

he also stole my money...

and his mother's jewellery

Your mother died broken-hearted!

Father

He then went abroad...

and cheated some woman into supporting him

Unable to withstand such a trauma...

Xiu Xin as a result had a nervous breakdown

Please control your temper, Dad

You have to take care of your health

Guess I shouldn't have caused you to be angry

I don't blame you

It's that no-good son of mine

From what you said...

Xiu Xin is an innocent victim

Though I don't know much,

and can't promise anything at the moment;

I'll do my best

I appreciate that, son

But Xiu Xin is unwilling to see any doctor

I fear...

No problem. If there's a chance

... we'll all help her

I don't think it'd be that easy

When someone has undergone such trauma

... it's difficult to recover

It's because her pain in the past...

has subjugated her

So we can't bear to see her like this

She tortures herself all day

Father, since you are confident of Zhong Ning

... let him have a go at it

Alright

Miss Yu Bei

Nanny, it's best if we don't tell her

This is Doctor Hu

Doctor Hu

Have some tea

Thank you

Sister-in-law... I am Yu Bei

This is Mr. Hu

Yu Pang, you heartless thing!

Sister-in-law, you're mistaken

He is Mr. Hu

Sister-in-law

He's not Yu Pang?

He isn't Yu Pang

So who is he?

A good friend of mine

Would you like him to meet you often?

Your friend?

No, you're a doctor

I am not sick

I don't want a doctor

Sister-in-law...

Don't come near, go away

Sister-in-law, listen to me

No, no, I won't

He's not...

No...

Sister-in-law, he'll help you

Go away

Sorry, I've disturbed you

Yu Bei, I better leave

I don't need a doctor

Sister-in-law

You take care of her

I'm sorry sister-in-law...

treated you like this

It's alright

Father brought her to see many doctors

... but they all ended up like this

I know

As a friend I should attempt to understand her first

... before expecting any cooperation

But... Yu Bei, let's go

Where are we going?

Shopping

Let me have a look at the little kitten

Doesn't it look like Xiao Bai?

Yes

My Xiao Bai

No, I can't give it to you

Can't give it to me?

You really like it?

Here, I'll give it to you

Sister-in-law, please sit

Why do you like cats?

Xiao Bai, be good

Don't leave me

I'll come and feed it everyday, okay?

Xiao Bai, what do you say?

Xiao Bai

Why don't you answer me?

This is not my Xiao Bai

I don't want it; Xiao Bai...

Where's my Xiao Bai?

Sister-in-law

Xiao Bai...

You're tired, go to sleep

Can't rest till I've found a way to cure her

I can't seem to think right now

I know you can

No. I don't even understand her

I can't simply rely on sympathy to cure her

When at the medical college hospital...

what did you do in similar circumstances?

The families usually let us have entire background

Be patient, let's have a seat first

I'll tell you now, alright?

She used to be a gentle and happy woman

When my brother dated her...

she liked going to the countryside

Also liked listening to music

Music?

She liked playing the song "Unfinished Melody"

You mean the one we often hear in the evenings?

The other one she liked most is called "Happy Times"

Didn't expect!

Zhong Ning, what happened?

She likes music

Right... music

The red brick wall in an unfortunate village

In the land where swallows return

The teachers unrelentingly teach us

... to treasure the happy times

The sun ascends high and the land shines

... building healthy bodies

The coaches go all out to demonstrate and...

remind us of our happy times

Today we're gathered together

Come tomorrow we're society's leaders

... and stand to have a bright future

We'll sing from our hearts...

and express our profound joy

Time and tide waits for no man

No, don't!

Must cherish this joyful moment

Sister-in-law

You both again!

I think I have heard this song before

Do you still remember its name?

What is it called?

The red brick wall; an unfortunate village

In the land where swallows return

The teachers earnestly teach us

... to treasure the happy times

I've heard that before

The sun ascends high and the land shines

... building healthy bodies

The coaches go all out to demonstrate and...

remind us of our happy times

Think carefully... what's this song called?

Today we're gathered together

We were in a big group singing this song

I sang it too

We were all very happy, we...

Right, it's called "Happy Times"

You're able to recall it!

Happy Times

Right, "Happy Times"

Time and tide waits for no man

Don't be scared, I know you can

Come, try it out

I can, I really can do it!

The red brick wall in an unfortunate village

Happy Times... that's my favourite song

You like it? I give it to you

Give it to me?

This way, you can listen to it everyday

Sister-in-law, shall I move it close to your bed?

Alright

Aunty Zhang

Sister-in-law, sleep early

I don't want to sleep, I want to listen to that song

Alright

The red brick wall; an unfortunate village

In the land where swallows return

The teachers earnestly teach us

... to treasure the happy times

Yu Bei

The sun ascends high and the land shines

In the...

Nanny, please don't turn it off

Thank you, Doctor Hu

The coaches go all out to demonstrate and...

remind us of our happy times

I am so happy, we've succeeded

It's too early to rejoice

We have only helped recover her memory

Her condition could re-emerge

What are we going to do then?

The first thing is to make her forget the past

For example like taking her out sometime

... thereby allowing to open herself up

Sister-in-law, how beautiful you look!

Right

Go on

You won't come?

I have to revise my studies

Zhong Ning

I'd rather not

Why?

I'm scared

Now look

You aren't afraid anymore, are you?

Don't be scared, be brave

You can make it

It's the first time in past two years,

... that I see her go out

Two glasses of milk, please

Feel tired?

See how beautiful this place is!

That makes me think of...

the good old days at school

Getting together with friends...

and partying

You still remember your school days?

I remember being dressed up...

as princess in a masquerade, wearing beautiful clothes

Playing piano for the prince

The prince was called Zhao...

Sister-in-law

Sister-in-law...

You, you aren't Yu Pang?

No, I'm Hu Zhong Ning

Hu Zhong Ning? Aren't you my school mate?

I'm your friend

Then... why are you here with me?

I... I like music

And I like picnicking too

Me too

Then... shall we go there for a walk?

Reckon I can't make it that steep

You look good today

I'll take your picture

Alright

Ready?

Okay

Shall we take one together?

Are you hungry?

No

Let's have some water

Can I call you Zhong Ning?

Of course

You accompany me everyday for my happiness

I really appreciate that

Don't say that

I am happy to see that you are happy

You've never said anything about yourself!

There's nothing much to talk about

No, honestly... I'd love to hear

To put it simply, my parents passed away

I have no brother or sister

I'm sorry

Let's change the subject. Come

Can I call you Xiu Xin?

Of course

Xiu Xin, do you want to climb over to that peak?

Yes, but I'm afraid I can't

Never mind. If you can't, I'll carry you

You could if I were a kid

Even if I can't carry you...

we can still go home by rolling down the hill

I've never been so happy before

I do hope that you're always as happy

Would you be fed up being with me each day?

No, I love it

It's late, let's go back

Xiu Xin, what are you looking at?

I suddenly remember something

What is it?

Hills... stream... trees... a boat

I have been here before

Yu Pang and I have been here before

No, it can't be. Let's head home

Yu Pang, you liar

Xiu Xin

Don't come near

You heartless thing

Xiu Xin, don't be like this

I'm Zhong Ning; look at me

No, I don't want to look at you

Xiu Xin, look at me

Am I Yu Pang?

No

Xiu Xin, you must forget about Yu Pang

Oh God, I hate him too much to forget

Trust me, he isn't worth it

Hasn't he inflicted enough pain already...

to have made you like this?

Yet you keep torturing yourself because of him

What's the use of hating him?

Don't you have enough courage...

to start afresh?

Xiu Xin, please trust me

I'm saying all this for your own good

Zhong Ning, without you

... I have no hope and no courage

I really don't know how to thank you

No, I should thank you instead

To be honest, I am a doctor

Would you blame me for not telling you the truth?

Father

Sister-in-law

Did you have a good time?

Zhong Ning, I have a party tonight

Would you be my partner?

Me?

Zhong Ning, young people ought to enjoy themselves

You aren't coming along?

No

Hey, how do I look in this dress?

As pretty as a fairy maiden

You look like a gentleman too

Me a gentleman?

Zhong Ning, I've got a present for you

Guess what it is?

I wouldn't know

Open it and see

You are too kind

Let me help you put it on

What, you don't like it?

No, I like it

Let's go

What's so funny?

Look at you, your tie looks so weird

Let me help you

Wait

I've got a present for you too

Do you like it?

If you like it, I'll like it too

I don't know what you girls like

We'll talk about it some other time; let's go

Zhong Ning, did you...

have a good time with Yu Bei last night?

Not bad

You've known each other for a long time, right?

Yes... have almost grown up together

Are you cross that I wasn't with you last night?

Oh, come on!

Then let's go for a movie together

Guys, I've been looking for you two everywhere

So there you are!

What's the matter?

I want you to go out with me

Let's go together, okay?

No, Zhong Ning, you go with her

Then you...

Relax. Xiao Bai will keep me company

Sister-in-law, why aren't you going?

I feel tired

Are you alright?

I'm fine, don't worry

Zhong Ning, let's go

The red brick wall of an unfortunate village

In the land where swallows return

It's your turn

Alright

So? You can't beat me

You're better than I am

You haven't gone to bed yet?

No, I haven't been sleeping well these days

Why?

I don't know

Something must be on your mind

I think a lot

About the past...

and the present

It's all over; why think about it all?

Zhong Ning, I guess that's human

Sometimes one just can't help thinking

There're so many changes,

so many coincidences;

Like for instance...

Like what?

I always dream about...

being all by myself drifting about in an ocean

That can't be...

I'd suggest you not to think too much

Just mind your health

I'll take care of myself

Zhong Ning, ever since you came...

Sister-in-law has recovered and father is happier

Our family is filled with joy

Well, I too am glad

Hadn't you been here to accompany me this vacation

... I really don't know what would I have done!

You have your good friends

I'm sure you'd have been as happy

... if you are with them

Can't say I'm very fond of them

Whyever so?

Because I'm in love with someone

Who is that lucky guy?

Congratulate him for me

Why don't you congratulate yourself?

What are you talking about?

Don't you know how I feel about you?

Why do you love me?

I don't know

I'm really in love with you

This is all so unexpected!

I've always regarded you as my little sister

Who wants to be your little sister?

Yu Bei, let me tell you

I am in love with somebody else

What?

Who is she?

I cannot tell you

No. Irrespective of who she is I'll still love you

Apart from you...

I've never loved anyone else

Listen to me

No...

Zhong Ning, I've already planned...

to marry you after you have built your career

Yu Bei, don't be like this

Think carefully

I can't marry you

Why?

I'll always love and care for you...

like my own sister

No

Yu Bei

Yu Bei...

Yu Bei...

Yu Bei...

Yu Bei...

Yu Bei, what's the matter with you? Open the door

What's going on?

She's locked herself up. I'm afraid she'll...

Then push open the door

Aunty Qin

Miss, Miss Yu Bei...

Aunty Qin... Hurry... Miss...

Please help

Aunty Qin, come

Hurry

Open the window

Turn off the gas

Alright

Aunty Qin, close the bathroom door

Yu Bei

Uncle, she'll be alright

Luckily we could reach her in time

Zhong Ning, she...

Yu Bei

Yu Bei

It's alright now

Yu Bei, are you alright?

Yu Bei

You go out

Why are you...

Father, go out all of you

Go out, please

Yu Bei

Just leave me alone to cry

Why?

Don't ask, just let me have a good cry

Tell me who has wronged you

Tell me

Dad, we better go out

Let her have some rest

If anything, we'll talk tomorrow

Sister-in-law, I wish to speak to you

Could you be with me awhile?

Xiu Xin, please stay with her

Sister-in-law

Don't cry...

I know that there's nothing that cannot be resolved

Except of course my case

Maybe I can help

Where should I start?

Relax. Tell me all about it

Zhong Ning and I grew up together

He's always been very good to me

When we cured your sickness,

together we thought of ways

He was anxious and so was I

When he was happy, I felt happier

When you recovered, I fell in love with him

I can't forget him

I always think that I can help him in his career

If we can always be together

... nothing would make me more happy

But it so turns out...

that he doesn't love me at all

Sister-in-law

I can now feel your pain

If I were you, not only would I go crazy

... I'd rather die

Sister-in-law, what am I going to do?

Yu Bei, don't be sad, I'll help you

You can't help me

He said that he's in love with somebody else

Sister-in-law...

what else can I do apart from dying?

Maybe you still have a chance

No, it can't be

No matter what

Don't ever do anything silly

Hasn't Papa suffered enough because of your brother?

Say, if you had any accident,

how could he take it?

Promise me, you won't be silly anymore

Sleep early

Change into your pajamas

I'll see you tomorrow

Goodbye

Thank you so much

You really love Zhong Ning?

Master...

I don't know where madam has gone

What?

I saw her a while back...

then she just disappeared

Have you looked everywhere?

Yes, I did

What now, dad?

Uncle Zhao, I'll look for her

You know where she is?

I'll take a look

I'll go too

Good

Xiu Xin...

Xiu Xin...

Xiu Xin...

Xiu Xin...

Xiu Xin

Xiu Xin

Xiu Xin why didn't you tell me...

that you came out here

I heard Aunty Zhang say you were gone

... and I was worried sick

I was afraid you might have an accident

In desperation...

I've looked for you everywhere;

Everywhere we've been

When I couldn't find you...

I was in pain and anxiety

I can't lose you, I love you too much

Now I've found you, I won't let you go

It's useless even if you've found me

Why?

I won't see you from now on

I know you love me, I love you too

We'll love each other forever

You...

Stop it

Xiu Xin, what is it?

Let's go back

Don't touch me

You think I really love you?

Didn't you say to me...

Then I didn't know Yu Pang would return

Yu Pang? He has returned?

He repented and asked me to forgive him

I don't believe this

This is his letter; I received it today

Look

He's cheating you, I won't look at it

No? Then I'll read it to you

I won't listen

I don't have to listen

You must

Listen

Xiu Xin, you must be surprised to get this letter

You must hate me...

because I have caused you pain

I let you down

Now I know I was wrong

I have drifted everywhere...

but I couldn't forget you

Because only you can make me truly happy

It's only now that I confess this to you

I don't dare ask for your forgiveness

but I do ask...

for a chance to change my ways

This coming spring, I'll be back

Now you should believe me

No, he won't be back

No

Listen, you can't...

It's none of your business

I believe him and forgive him

I'll die for him

Okay, I'll ask uncle

He doesn't know about it

Why don't you tell him?

I'll wait till Yu Pang returns

Now will you give me up?

Be sensible

If Yu Pang loved you,

he should have...

come back long ago

As long as you believe in me

... we can get married anywhere

What are you talking about?

You want me to elope with you?

You've forgotten how well this family treats you?

How dare you say such things

... to me?

Xiu Xin

Don't call me by my name

I'm Mrs. Zhao

You don't love me at all

Thanks for curing my sickness

Your duty is over

Why don't you go?

You've been lying to me

Yes, I was lonely at that time

Dr. Hu, although you are very learned

... you know very little about love

You can't even distinguish between loneliness and love

You are heartless in playing with love

You are right, I love only my husband

And I don't love you; what will you do about it?

Go ahead

Xiu Xin, you are my only love

I won't give up until I marry you

Zhong Ning, you'd better give up

Where's sister-in-law?

What happened?

Father, we must go find sister-in-law

Wait until Aunty Zhang is back

Can I come in?

Zhong Ning, please don't go

I've hidden your luggage

Don't misunderstand. I did this for my father

Sister-in-law is gone and if you are gone too

... he will be totally devastated

For the meantime, I won't go

Zhong Ning, as a doctor...

do you think that sister-in-law will go crazy again?

I don't think so

That's good

Zhong Ning, please forgive me...

for what I said last night

Yu Bei

I won't do that silly thing again

I am so sorry

Please forgive me for saying this

I simply have no right to impose my feelings...

but you are my only love

Yu Bei

Please say no more

I'll always cherish your love...

deep within my heart

I...

I'm done. Please forget what I've said

Miss, I know that you've never...

slept on this wooden bed before

I'll go get a better one tomorrow

Aunty Zhang, please don't do that

I only need a place to hide myself

... from them

Nobody knows I've got a house here

This is for my retirement

Aunty Zhang, go back quickly...

or else they'll be suspicious

Aunty Zhang, when you go back...

Don't worry, I won't tell a thing

This is the suburban area

Mr. Hu won't be able to find you here

Ms. Gao Xiu Xin, please take note

You've been away from home for so long

... and we have not heard from you

Your family worries about you...

not knowing where you are

If you hear or read this announcement

... please come back home immediately

Anyone who has news of her

please call her family...

at area code 243

Yu Bei, do you think Zhong Ning...

Father, stop mentioning him

Could Xiu Xin have run off because of him?

Father

How could it be like that?

What's wrong...

if Zhong Ning is in love with sister-in-law?

Think about how brother mistreated her

He made her suffer so much

Do you think it is sister-in-law's fault

... or brother's?

Sister-in-law is so young;

Would you bear see her a widow for rest of her life?

Father, promise me one thing

What?

If you find sister-in-law...

you must let their relationship flourish

You've been treating Zhong Ning...

like a son;

How come you don't agree with this?

Father

Alright, I promise...

Father, we won't mention...

about all this to Zhong Ning

Alright

Mr. Hu

It's cold outside

Thank you

Aunty Zhang, do you know...

where your madam is?

I...

If you know where she is, please tell me

No, I don't

Zhong Ning

Aren't you asleep yet?

No

Look, the flowers are blooming

Peach blossoms opening up means spring is drawing near

Zhong Ning, can I talk to you?

Yes, go ahead

Do you know you look very distressed?

Me?

Look at you

I must tell you

Go ahead

Zhong Ning, didn't you tell me before...

that you are in love with someone?

Yes

Then have you ever thought for your love? If you...

keep on this attitude, how can you make her happy?

Don't you know that...

the most important thing for a man is his career?

Have you forgotten why you are here?

Have you forgotten that,

you want to open up a clinic...

and be a good doctor?

If you continue to be in such a condition,

how can you face...

the person you love and yourself?

I'm sorry, Zhong Ning

Forgive me for what I've just said

I'm just concerned about you

Yu Bei

Thanks for your concern

But I really don't know what to say...

or what to do

I don't even know...

why I pray for you everyday!

Always hoping for your well-being and bliss

Yu Bei

The red brick wall in an unfortunate village

In the land where swallows return

Teachers unrelentingly teach us

... to treasure the happy times

The sun ascends high and the land shines

... building healthy bodies

The coaches demonstrate and remind us

... of our joyful times

Aunty Zhang

I must quit

Why?

Mr. Hu asks me everyday...

where you are!

And also if young master is coming back next spring

I can't tell him you are here...

and that the letter is a fake

What am I going to do?

You are so sick...

and lonely; nobody to look after you!

I am so worried about you

Why are you still concerned about me?

Have you taken your medicine yet?

How can you recover if you don't take it?

No medicine can cure my sickness

This can't be! I'm going to ask Dr. Yang to come over

Aunty Zhang

Have I not treated you...

like my own daughter?

I quit my job now...

because of you

If you don't take good care of yourself

How can you live...

to see Mr. Hu marrying Miss Yu Bei?

Miss, for my sake;

Promise me...

that you'll get better first, alright?

Don't get up

I'm going to ask Dr. Yang to come over

I'll be back soon

Aunty Zhang, take some money for the cab

Please hurry

A serious accident in the suburban highway

Gao Xiu Xin was burnt to death

Aunty Zhang

We're to blame for her death

Father, let's go back

Mr. Hu Zhong Ning, Miss Zhao Yu Bei

You two are now in front of the altar of God

to begin a sacred...

life together

Hu Zhong Ning, swear in front of God

Are you willing to take...

Zhao Yu Bei as your wife...

in sickness and in health?

I do

Zhao Yu Bei, swear in front of God

Are you willing to take...

Hu Zhong Ning as your husband...

in sickness and in health?

I do

In the name of God I now pronounce you both...

husband and wife

Flowing rain & colourful flowers vanish!

My love lays buried deep within my heart

The moon may either wax or wane

For your sake I'll sacrifice

Oh, my love eterne

Accompany me forever

Oh, my eternal love

Be there for me forever, forever!
