THANKS!

He introduces the new member of the group.

During the day, he is a tourist guide.

An ordinary middle-aged man.

Middle-aged!

At night he plays guitar like a pro

Ho-jun!

My name is Lin Ho-jun, happy to be here!

I remember he said he met me first.

Hi! This is my friend Shen Sheo-rou, and her friend.

Hi! I'm Chen Li.

Lin Ho-jun.

It's my cousin.

Sit down, I have to get ready.

If it's fate that brings people together.

Does it separate them too?

I always wanted to write a love story.

A simple love story.

Why is this woman with this man...

And not with the other?

And yet, a few years later.

Maybe she'll end up married to another guy.

With love.

There is no real definition.

Relationships always seem so natural, so simple.

But are they really?

Is this girl really his cousin?

He said it wasn't the first time that he had seen me.

It's been three months since you were put aside. We have other customers...

Hi.

Why did you say I was your cousin?

You're alone? Where is your cousin?

Hey! You're not bringing your cousin home?

Since when do you have a new cousin?

Mind your own business, okay?

What's his number?

No one sang really well tonight.

She's talking about you, Samson!

- You're not bad. - She sings well.

Come sleep at home tonight.

OK.

She is so beautiful.

- Who? - Chelsia Chan!

She is really pretty...

- What do you have? - Stop acting like a horny!

My friend Wallace.

Cheryl, the director.

- Delighted. - Nice to meet you.

He wrote screenplays for television.

Oh really, sit down.

Something to drink?

- Water please. - The same.

Sit down.

How can I help?

Have you ever written a screenplay for a movie?

No.

Already been in love?

What?

He looks at me again.

This is the fifth time.

Hello, aunty.

Are you drunk again?

How are you?

I shouldn't drink. I feel too bad afterwards.

It's always the same...

Do you have a headache? I'll massage your neck...

Do not touch me...

Shouldn't you be in school?

I'm leaving as soon as I've had lunch.

Do you have any news from your mother?

She's coming for Christmas.

Christmas?

How are your grades?

Try to do well, okay?

I don't like being scolded by your mother either.

Is it drinkable?

Of course!

It's for you!

It's what? How pretty it is!

It's a bookmark. I made it myself

What is this mixture?

Try to see.

This is my "special" punch.

Is there alcohol in it?

- A little - You call it a little!

Looks like cough syrup.

What do you mean?

You can still taste the fruit.

Don't lose it, pay attention to it.

OK.

Now I understand why my aunt likes to drink.

Hey! Who wants to taste my punch?

- Wait for me. - It is delicious!

Already?

Do you know what I wanna do?

Other noodles?

I will ask him,

if he was looking at you or if it was me.

First you put this disc, then this one, ok?

Sheo-rou...

- How are you? - Hey, Sheo-rou.

Go ahead, Sheo-rou.

Sheo-rou, open the door.

Sheo-rou...

What rain!

Everything is soaked!

Sorry!

Come and listen to the weather forecast.

The level 8 typhoon alert is not given.

Disappointed?

Standing!

- Good morning. - Hello, Miss Lee!

- Attention! - OK!

- This side... - Attention.

This way.

Here...

She has a migraine.

- Do not be afraid... - It really hurts.

- I can not see anymore...

- Did someone call his family? - It's really painful.

It'll be fine, don't be afraid.

Sheo-rou, take my homework...

Ok. I'll come by after school.

She just had a terrible migraine.

What happened?

- Hi - Hi!

Shen Sheo-rou.

This is where I saw you for the first time.

Do you remember?

Look, it's cracked.

Anything! I bumped into it here...

Ouch It hurts!

- You are stupid. - Do not make fun of me!

It really hurts.

Come here.

- Ouch! You hurt me! - I can not do anything about it...

Fish ball noodles!

Why don't you sing?

I hate to hear my voice.

I'm just a guitarist.

I thought you were mute.

What did you believe?

Why didn't you invite me dancing the other night?

I do not know how to dance.

You do not know? It is however simple!

It's like walking.

One step left, one step right...

One step to the left, one step to the right, it's easy.

It's not like walking!

Walking is one step forward and another step forward.

Dancing is not the same thing.

That's dancing.

One step left, one step right, one step left...

I told you, it's simple.

You see? Love is simple.

Jo, order us to eat.

OK!

Love comes naturally?

What do you think about it?

It's exaggerated...

I mean, like love for a puppy. It's more or less the same thing.

What a difference?

How many times have you been in love?

Well, a few times.

Was it the same every time?

No, there are differences.

Yes, that's how I see it!

All love stories are basically the same.

But each one is different, unique.

You talk about context...

There is something ...

that makes every experience unique, right?

Moreover...

It's two there are so young.

I should rather say these three.

Maybe love is especially natural when you're young.

Look at you! You are soaked!

Dry yourself off.

- I'll get you another towel. - Thank you, Mrs. Chen.

It's really raining cats and dogs.

It started to rain when we were eating.

THANKS.

Dry your hair well.

- I'll get you some dry clothes. - It's good.

Look at! Your hair is still wet!

There too! And here!

The teacher said not to worry about your homework.

Get over yourself first.

You can copy mine if you want.

- THANKS. - Oh, you're really wet.

How are you doing? Is it still painful?

You really scared me! It happened all of a sudden.

I had no idea what happened to you.

Are you together now?

Leave me? I watch the movie.

It really is a turnip.

Hey! Did you see Sheo-rou dance!

It doesn't matter to you that she dances so long with this guy?

Are you going to live off your guitar?

You pass guitar exams college entrance exam?

Do you have tampons?

In my bag.

Can you pass me one, please? Quickly!

Why should I obey you?

Hey! You spit on me!

It looks easy though! Why can't I do it?

What interest?

I can whistle when Ho-jun is on stage.

I'll go: Ho-jun! Ho-jun!...

You are so cool!

Like that.

You are so cool...

Have you ever thought about doing it with a boy?

Did you do it with Ho-jun?

You're crazy! Of course not.

Does it hurt a lot the first time?

Oh, that hurts horribly! You bleed like a pig.

It gets all bloated.

You have hundreds of rashes!

Then it bursts!

How do you know?

- You asked me... - You're terrible!

- You must be exaggerating... - Leave me!

You asked me!

That's what Sisters magazine said.

He said it was painful and we were bleeding.

But nothing about breakouts?

Good! Go ask Sisters magazine, then!

What about the pain...?

Do not ask me! Do I look like I have experience?

- OK forget it! - Stop it!

Really...

Chen Li is weird right now.

She always tries to argue with me.

She gets angry for nothing.

Hey! You listen to me?

Maybe she's upset because you're with me.

It's ridiculous! She's not like that!

By the way, why do you love me?

Who said I loved you?

It is you who loves me.

So you don't love me?

I give you your chance.

If you don't love me...

Why are you going out with me then?

Because you love me.

So I'll give you your chance.

If I love you...

Why do you love Me?

I love you because...

Weird, now that I think about it...

What nonsense do you say when you're in love.

Young people are like that now?

Do not ask me. I have never been in love.

It's not true!

Do you think there are too many kissing scenes?

No.

If my friends told you.

Really!

Be careful, kisses are rationed.

What do you mean?

Seriously, ask any married person.

What is most important in the morning.

Kiss your spouse or go to the bathroom?

It's always: going to the toilet.

Stop it, I'm getting married soon.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against marriage.

I prefer to think of marriage as predestination.

It is also a kind of predestination for Sheo-ho and Ho-jun.

It's Sheo-rou.

- Sheo-ho! - Sheo-rou!

Sorry.

Merry Christmas!

- It's for you. - THANKS.

Wow! Look at all this food.

I didn't do it, my sister did. I do not know how to cook.

And There you go...

- Holy turkey! - Gorgeous!

Helen.

You learned all that in Canada. I am impressed

Sheo-rou, sit next to Robert.

- Sit here. - I'll sit there.

Sit down...

I don't know how to cook western dishes.

Roy taught me.

- I'm a good teacher.

Let's eat.

When are you going to teach my wife?

I'd rather Helen teach my husband.

Who is Helen?

It's your mother's English name.

You need an English name when you live in Canada.

Good! Let's toast!

Merry Christmas...

"It's looking really bad..."

The damn turkey is huge!

The dinner will go on forever.

Sorry. I am late. For you.

- Oh thank you. - Merry Christmas.

Mom, can I join my friends afterwards?

You want to go out? I just arrived.

Chen Li will also be there.

You see your friends every day.

What is it? You want to go out?

Let's all go.

robert, Where do you want to go next?

No matter, anywhere!

Hello! You can go out?

Speak louder!

Call me back. I'll let my mother answer.

She can't say no to you.

I can't hear it. Hello...

I said call back!

Whatever, call back!

She hung up!

Come on, let's open the presents.

It's for you...

Take it, it is for you.

Sheo-rou, it's for you again.

It does not respond.

Let go.

1977, Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas...

This is not good !

We are going to dance.

How is your English?

Hello? Yes...Thank you!

Good!

That's enough to find a husband!

And this one?

Sheo-rou, do you want to play?

Did you play badminton?

With Robert?

Oh, please!

It is my mother.

Is it Mom Shen?

She made you.

I'm sure she'll love me right away.

Oh? Why would she like you?

Because I'm cute and smart.

I have a bright future.

What an ego!

- Too cute! - Stopped.

- This is my student ID. - Let me see.

I know, I'm not terrible at it!

- We eat. - What did you take?

Fish balls.

I ate a piece of that.

Are they spicy?

It freezes.

What time is it?

I don't know. I do not have a watch.

Let's stay here until daybreak?

OK.

Hello... Do you know what time it is?

I spend the night in Lantao lsland with friends.

I will come back tomorrow.

Aren't you afraid that Chen Li will betray us?

Of course not.

Are you searching something?

I want to give a gift for Chen Li's mother.

Sheo-rou often spends the night at her place...

I should thank her.

Where is Sheo-rou?

She is still with Chen Li.

It's good.

Roy leaving tonight?

No, tomorrow morning.

Already? Why doesn't he stay with you?

He promised his children that he would be back for Chinese New Year.

- Is there anything else to wear? - Yes wait.

- Your luggage is ready? - Yes.

Thanks for hosting us.

It's a pleasure.

Do you have any tape?

Yes, I will look for it.

Come back soon after Chinese New Year.

There is someone.

It does not open!

- Let me do. - Weird.

Hey! It's not that one. Over there, the 509.

Don't worry. It's next to.

We freeze.

It's my first time.

I know.

Who was your first time?

Your cousin?

No, of course!

Which then?

You really want to know?

No stop...

My God!

- Hello aunty. - Good morning.

Can I have a cup?

Of course.

Where is your mother? She didn't come back with you?

Chen Li! Sheo-rou's mother is here!

Are they still in bed?

I did not do anything.

I know, I'll tell your mom.

Hey! What are you doing?

I go out for a while.

You leave?

To study with friends.

Shen Sheo-rou's mother called.

She wants to meet your father and me tomorrow.

What is happening?

Get there...

Leave the ball.

Give it to us.

It's not going to take my ball!

Why do you want me to go to Canada?

You want to get married, ok Go back and get married.

Why do you want me to come with you?

Adults are so selfish!

What do you want?

Do you want to quit school? That's it?

What will you do if you get pregnant?

Who will raise the child?

Him?

You?

Or me?

Raising you was enough.

If your father was still here, he would flay you alive!

We did nothing at all!

Even though, I can raise a baby!

You!

You are absolutely crazy!

I should have told the police about him.

You want to go with him, ok, go.

If it's your choice, I don't have a girl anymore,

as if I had never given birth to you.

Otherwise, you do what I say and you stop seeing him.

Think about it!

Mom.

Well... let's say you never gave birth to me.

What are you saying? Is this what you decide?

- I never gave birth to you? You! - No, mum, please... stop...

I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!

Stop that! Stopped!

Go ahead! If you go out with him it's not worth coming back.

Stop that! Don't hit her!

It's my fault, I didn't take good care of it. I did not watch over her.

After all, nothing very serious happened.

Nothing serious! Would you rather wait until she gets pregnant?

I can't leave her for a minute.

It's my destiny.

I can forget going back to Canada!

Frankly, I don't really like Sheo-rou's mother.

The character is too steeped in tradition.

I thought about it, but...

What do you think? She can't say...

Great! Go ahead! Go to a hotel!

- Mom made a reservation for you. - No!

But she could help Sheo-rou motivate Ho-jun.

Put yourself in his place: What would you do if one day you found out...

that your 17 year old daughter...

spent the night at the hotel with a 19 year old boy...

What would you do?

- I'll kill the guy! - You see.

The difference is that Sheo-rou's mother has no weapon.

For mothers,

the best weapon is always love.

I'm still stuck here.

What are you doing? It's Chen Li!

Oh Chen Li, I'm sorry.

She hasn't finished her homework.

Hi!

I am studying.

When are the exams?

Soon.

I have to go, bye.

Work well... hi.

Mrs. Lin, Ho-jun is there?

He went out.

- THANKS. - You're welcome good bye.

I go out first.

What did Ho-jun tell you?

You talk to each other every night. He must have told you something.

I have a headache.

What did he tell you?

He promised your mother not to call you only after the college entrance exam.

After the entrance exam or after being received?

I don't know.

What did you do?

Nothing, we did nothing at all!

What is the problem?

- Nothing? - Did Ho-jun say we did it?

No not at all.

But he had to pledge his guitar.

What did he do? When?

At Christmas.

Maybe he did to be able to pay the hotel.

What are you talking about? What hotel? You are not well!

You ask me about her all the time! I tell you what I know.

Stop asking if you don't believe me!

Ho-jun.

You were looking for me?

How are you doing?

How are you!

Did you play guitar?

I did not have the time.

Didn't you have time?

You didn't have time or do you have more guitar?

Chen Li told you?

I'm sorry...

that you didn't get what you wanted.

What?

I said...

That I was sorry that you didn't have what you wanted.

Didn't get what I wanted?

What are you talking about?

I really didn't think you had it all planned out.

And why did you tell everyone?

Even Chen Li knows!

I don't even want to know what you said to your friends!

Planned what?

You're saying nonsense!

No, not at all, that's what Chen Li said.

What did she say?

That you pawned your guitar.

You needed money to pay for the hotel!

I never said I needed the money to take you to the hotel.

I just said dating costs money.

Did I cost you dear then?

Do you forget the meals, the movies?

And the hotel! No?

You had it all planned out, didn't you?

What do you want?

It is better to separate.

Anyway you don't want to see me anymore you are no longer interested in me.

You don't even call me...

But you spend hours on the phone with Chen Li!

So you want to break?

Do we look like we're together?

You don't tell me anything anymore!

GOOD! We break then!

let's make it clear,

I hate half-hearted things.

We won't see each other again.

And more messenger!

GOOD! If that's what you want!

Yes!

It is said!

OK...

Big deal.

Come on, stop crying.

Sheo-rou...

Do you like being with me?

You love Me?

I love you like a friend.

Can you love me like you loved Ho-jun?

I promise you, I will never leave you.

Chen Li...

We are friends!

Girlfriends can love each other, right?

What are you talking about?

I thought you were my best friend!

What do you say?

I really love you!

You're crazy! I don't want to hear that!

I'm sorry.

You're my best friend...

Let's go home.

You are an adult.

Yes Dad.

Nice, right?

You like? Eh?

Leslie.

This year you are going to Milan and Paris with Jonathan.

Not yet in Paris!

And Suzanne takes Sheo-rou to Japan.

Remember your goal:

Find new brands and new designers.

- OK! - OK!

Sunny! This way

What would you like to drink?

- What do you take? - Coffee.

- Coffee. - A Coke please.

What do we have today?

Why did you have so many pineapples?

You've. Eat yours!

I have not seen.

That's enough, don't take them all!

Oh, do you have pineapples?

You want some?

No thank you, you...

You give me yours and I give you mine.

Why make Sheo-rou work in fashion?

Why not in the world of cinema?

Director?

It's not worth it.

Also, when a story is too close to reality

It's like getting naked.

More mystery.

No more watching!

If you insist, it's good for me.

Go ahead.

In this way I will begin to put a little of myself in this story.

And change the ending to make it less true.

A screenwriter invents stories. It's his job.

You are looking for your mother, wait.

It's your daughter.

Every detail doesn't have to be true, You know.

Of course!

Hello Bobo. How was school today?

Mom works. Start your homework on your own, okay?

Hello, let me explain.

You will see the collection.

These are the spring-summer items.

This year's theme is mesh...

Thin! A group of tourists!

Too much people!

- Where do we meet tomorrow? - Hotel lobby.

- At what time? - 7:30.

I'll pass you the keys in a moment.

- What are you looking at? - Nothing!

Will it be cold tomorrow?

What's the matter?

Nothing!

I'll give you tomorrow's schedule.

You can read it in your room.

Here is...

Breakfast at 7:00 a.m.

We leave the hotel at 8:00 am.

First we visit Senso-ji in Asakusa...

Then we will go to Haneda Village.

Had lunch at Tokyo Tower.

We will eat there to enjoy the view.

Then we will go to Niju-bashi in the area of ​​the Imperial Palace.

Return to the hotel at 6:00 p.m.

You will have the evening free.

Another bottle of cold sake, please.

Yes, one moment.

It's good. My first iced sake.

It's not too strong?

I still remember the time you threw up!

Don't do it again, not here.

I am no longer the same.

In what?

You did not change.

Did you grow up?

No, of course.

You haven't changed much.

Your hairstyle is ten years old now.

Look well.

Do you see the beard? I am an adult now.

Really?

Really! Look at!

Do you go back to Hong Kong sometimes?

It happens, to see my family.

How is your mother?

She is fine.

And Mom Shen?

The same.

Which means?

So so.

She got married?

No.

No?

So like you! She got dumped!

Wait a minute, I dumped you. Do you remember?

No...I dumped you.

No, you have it all wrong.

It's you who is wrong, I dumped you!

No, I dumped you!

I wonder what has become of Chen Li.

I haven't heard from you in ages.

Sorry for the wait.

- Please. - THANKS.

Why didn't you try to contact me?

Why didn't you try to contact me?

Because you didn't miss me.

Because you didn't miss me.

How could I have seen you?

I failed my entrance exams twice.

It was not possible to see you again.

After that, my father gave me 1,000 USD...

and sent me to a friend in Japan.

Just a thousand dollars, to get by...

I didn't know a word of Japanese.

It's been five years now.

I'm doing, at least I have a job.

Don't be intimidated by my Japanese,

I do not speak very well.

I do not think so.

At least you're more talkative than before.

Hey, that's not true. Before, I let you talk.

- You let me talk? - That's it.

''Let's break cleanly. I don't like half-tone things.''

Who said that?

Exactly, who said that?

That's wonderful!

Really?

Who would have thought that we would meet in Japan.

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

It freezes.

Won't you go?

I have to go.

For what? Someone waiting for you?

I call you!

Do you have it in beige?

Yes, want to see the sample?

It's beige.

Where do you live?

When are you taking me?

In my house it's...

left... no, right.

- Or? - Left or right

I am married.

I thought you just had a girlfriend.

The kind installed.

I don't come in.

Somehow it's not a feeling of guilt

I mean it was natural let them make love.

Sheo-rou is rather forgiving.

And Ho-jun is...irresponsible.

But she's not going to force him to divorce her.

Whatever happens...

their relationship has nothing to do with...

Ho-jun's wife or Sheo-rou's boyfriend.

You know what I mean?

You think there's nothing wrong with that kind of relationship...

Of course, it always affects the people involved.

I don't know.

When is your flight?

After 1:00 p.m.

You come back when?

In two weeks.

I'll call you when I'm in Milan.

Ho-jun says hello to you.

He still lives in Japan?

Who did he marry?

I don't know, I didn't ask him.

I wonder how the Chinese government will handle this.

Children, what chance do they have against adults?

Ho-jun, I'm on my way to Paris and I'm bored.

I have no one to talk to...

Anyway, I don't really want to talk to anyone.

I don't believe in airplane love stories anymore.

How are you doing?

Mom Shen hi.

She is getting old.

She stopped working since I got my promotion.

We have moved.

I couldn't help but cry when we moved out of our old apartment.

All my childhood memories were there.

And the back alley... Do you remember?

I can't believe,

I've been doing this for five years.

I would never have believed...

that I would live on planes...

I didn't think I would work in this business.

In fact, I never thought...

who I would be when I grew up.

Ho-jun, can we talk?

Mrs. Shen.

Good morning...

It's me, Lin Ho-jun.

Sorry, I'm sorry...

It's his fault, he's always late.

She couldn't leave the office.

A pregnant woman shouldn't be kept waiting.

- The reception has started. - Let's go.

Sheo-rou always talks about your letters.

Thanks for remembering me.

Did you come to see your family?

No, I came to see Sheo-rou.

All these years and you're still in touch.

It's pretty easy right now.

Old friends are precious.

You have a good heart.

How could you take Sheo-rou to a hotel?

It was cold. We just wanted to be together.

Together? How old are you?

And to do what?

I love Sheo-rou, and she loves me.

What do children know about love?

We know it!

This is serious.

Serious?

You can't even get into college...

You will take care of Sheo-rou alone.

She's still in high school.

Have you ever thought about that?

Ho-jun can't take care of Sheo-rou yet, but we can.

Ever since Sheo-rou's father died...

my worst nightmare was...

what would i do if something happened to him.

Or if something happened to me, who would take care of her?

She's only 17!

You don't know how I feel.

You cannot understand.

Tell me about Japan, is it beautiful there?

The country is beautiful.

There are cherry blossoms in the spring.

I have never been to Japan.

You should come, I'll show you around.

Do you have children?

No.

Your wife is Japanese?

We are divorced.

What time is it?

She should come.

It's okay, I'll wait.

Didn't you say you were coming?

It's a bit sudden.

Mom!

You know you're not allowed sweets.

I only took a small one.

Not even that, you're diabetic.

- Really! - She runs my life.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

It's not your fault. I've warned her a thousand times.

Sheo-rou, when are we going to visit Japan?

Do you think my mother has aged?

No...

Not really.

She always says she doesn't feel well.

Chinese herbalists, Western doctors, she has seen them all.

Does she really have something, or is she worried?

Worry about what?

About you.

that you work too hard, that you are still on a plane.

That you don't sleep and eat well.

Can't wait to be old to work hard?

Maybe I'm destined to have a life taken up by my work.

If you're so busy will you find time to marry me?

Yes, if you drink in one gulp.

Otherwise... no.

Why did you divorce?

We couldn't get along.

When are you leaving?

Friday.

Paris, Milan...

London, New York.

But I won't go to New York,

otherwise I will go crazy.

My boss wants me to open new stores in Southeast Asia.

He makes us work to death.

I have never been to any of these places. It must be good.

No, it's terrible.

Come to Japan then.

Quit if it's that hard.

Come back with me tonight.

I can't.

I have a meeting tomorrow.

Why are you rushing me for an answer?

I don't drink it.

Ho-jun!

Didn't you have a meeting?

What a meeting!

Take care of yourself.

If you have time, call me. Keep in touch.

I have to go.

It's late, you should come to bed.

Go ahead, I'll follow you right away.

Don't go to bed too late.

- OK good night. - Good night.

Why can't they be together?

Because they never really tried.

I don't know. And even if they had tried.

The question is, who gives up on the other first?

It's hard to say.

Sometimes I wonder...

If one can or should force fate against the wishes of the other.

Sheo-rou refuses as she is down to earth.

She doesn't want to go to Japan. She doesn't want Ho-jun's lifestyle.

You can say it another way: She doesn't want to take any risks.

I'm not sure about that.

On the other hand, I prefer to think that Ho-jun acts out of honor.

He knows that she does not want, but he doesn't want to put pressure on her.

All these years, he never mentioned marriage again...

but he remained his friend, what interest?

Have you thought about it?

Either way, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for them to get married.

That day I was looking for these photos and letters at home...

I couldn't find any.

Please!

I already have the table.

I see what Ho-jun looks like.

And Sheo-rou...

And Chen Li.

This is the first time I've watched the sunrise with someone.

I wonder if marriage looks like this?

She asked if you had passed your exam.

There are two different things.

Why lay all the blame on me?

So, are you accepted or not?

I don't know.

And even when?

Even if I'm not, That doesn't mean I don't love him.

If you love someone, you give the best of yourself for him.

You think I don't like him?

I pawned my guitar for her.

Have you pawned your guitar?

For what?

Dating costs money.

I can't ask my parents to pay the bill for a hotel room.

GOOD! We break then!

let's make it clear,

I hate half-hearted things.

I think I failed again this time.

Studies are really not for me.

I better quit school now.

Try my luck in the world of work.

Mom, dad, I'm sorry.

Perhaps I did not take into account the point of view of Ho-jun.

If it wasn't for the script...

I wouldn't have approached the story from any other point of view.

We are all the same...

Too busy taking care of yourself...

Busy making a living.

We rarely look at things from the point of view of others.

And our world is getting smaller and smaller.

Things escape us without our realizing it.

And our destiny changes without our realizing it.

Who can say...

I don't regret anything in my life.

Mom.

Why don't you come live with us?

I'm used to living alone I'm not good with people.

Why do you always travel so much?

Can't you work less?

Don't forget that you have a husband and a daughter.

She is still small.

You should spend more time with her.

Children grow up fast.

Very soon, it will be her who will no longer have time for you.

Cheryl, it's been a long time since I wrote to you.

I think you must be very busy.

Do you remember Chen Li?

She just died of a brain tumour.

It happened in Japan.

I was wondering if you could come to the funeral.

It's next Monday.

Let me know if you can come.

Ho-jun. It's raining.

Sheo-rou.

I hope you haven't forgotten your childhood friend.

Before leaving,

I see your face appear right in front of me, clear and distinct.

I don't know...

whether I should apologize or thank you.

I apologize...

for ruining a beautiful friendship.

I was wrong to put Ho-jun between us.

I was impetuous when I was young.

But it's the nature of youth ... not to think about the consequences.

In hindsight,

I would like to thank you for giving me my best memories.

I never had the courage to talk to you.

Nailed to this bed, I think back to what happened.

I realize you and Ho-jun were my best friends.

This is one thing that will never change.

I hope you will forgive me.

I hope so with all my heart.

Wherever I am, you will always have all my friendship.

Are you mad at me for not telling you?

It surprised me...

But I couldn't, they have to take another flight.

- At what time? - Around 8:00 a.m.

And tell them dinner's canceled.

Mr. Lam, someone wants you.

Sit down.

Your mother told me that you worked as a guide in Japan.

So are you showing me around?

Do you have a cat?

He keeps me company.

Friends?

A few for sleeping.

but no one to talk to.

My Japanese is not good.

And Sheo-rou? Have you kept in touch?

No.

How is she?

I haven't kept in touch either.

For what?

I don't know, maybe we saw each other too much, we got tired.

She always wondered if it was her or me that you really loved.

But I'm sure you love me.

Bye.

You still haven't told me why you divorced.

We didn't get along.

That's it? Nothing else?

No.

Ho-jun, I think we should talk.

OK.

We're going to divorce.

We just write to each other with Sheo-rou. There is nothing between us.

We should never have gotten married.

What is the problem?

We've been married for so long.

The problem is...

We are in love with the same woman.

You have to know...

I always wanted to love you...

To be with you.

I tried my best to be a good wife.

but it's really too hard.

I don't know how to tell you.

You should know that I love Sheo-rou.

After all these years, I still love her.

I'm sorry.

Let's stay friends?

Let's leave the past in the past.

At least once in our life... do something for us.

He's really nice.

A good guy.

We are getting married this summer.

Congratulations!

THANKS!

It's for you.

In my opinion?

What is this? To eat?

You'll watch when you're bored on the plane.

OK.

Write to me if you have time.

Or send a fax.

Or call, call if you don't have time.

I'll be glad to know you're doing well.

OK.

Take care of yourself.

Go get your hair cut, you should at your age!

I'll send you a wedding present.

Excuse me. Do you want me to put away your coat?

Yes thanks.

My pleasure.
