[Episode 15]

How's that? Isn't it great?

Your dad is awesome, right?

- What are you guys doing? Telling fortunes? - There you are, Big Brother!

Come here. See what this is.

Come here!

Who did it?

Is there anyone else who has the ability to do it except for me?

You?

What? You're not the only one who has a phone.

Just ask the people.

It's true, Big Brother! It's really dad who did it this time.

See? You didn't want me to collect money,

but look, here's the initial outcome!

Qiao Yicheng, the best is yet to come!

It will make your jaw drop!

As long as you don't make us homeless,

I'd be grateful.

Where's Simei?

She's at work.

If she knew about it, she would be thrilled to death.

I'll call her.

Hello? Can I speak to Qiao Simei?

I'm her elder sister, Qiao Sanli.

- Qiao Simei? She's taking a day off today. Marriage leage. - What?

Oh, Okay. Thank you.

What's wrong?

[Household Registry] (TN: Government-issued ID, similar to citizenship card/passport)

There's no need to rush. What's the hurry?

When it's time to eat,

Simei will come back home when she smells the food.

Hello?

Big Brother. You changed your phone number?

Qiao Simei. Where are you?

Make a guess.

What the hell?

Tell me the truth.

Your company says you're taking a marriage leave.

Why are you taking a marriage leave?

You've all heard about it.

- I thought I'd tell you when I arrive in Chengdu. - What?

- Where are you going? - I'm going to get married!

I'm boarding the train to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau soon!

You're getting married? Who are you getting married with?

Wait, where on earth are you going?

I'm going to the western border, a beautiful place!

Well, I've got to go. I'm boarding soon.

I'll talk to you when I arrive there. Bye!

Qiao Simei, listen to me. You now...

Hello?

Where did Simei go?

What did she say?

What exactly happened to Simei!

Are you two aware that Simei is in love

And that she's getting married?

Sanli, you knew it?

I... I've no idea.

You've no idea?

You and her sleep in the same room every day! How can you have no idea of it?

I... I heard her talk nonsense

saying "We won't each other" and "We'll be together forever".

And she wrote letters, but I thought those were just correspondence with a friend...

She had always acted weird.

I thought she was attracted to a celebrity.

Big Brother, please don't blame Sanli. Simei did act weird recently.

But she had always been like that. We didn't think much about it.

And... since she wants to get married with the one she loves, they must be truly in love.

Truly in love?

You think it's as simple as going to Beijing to see a show?

Where is she going this time?

I don't know. She said... to the borders.

The borders?

Where in the borders?

She didn't say.

What are you doing?

Help me with it, Brother!

Are you going away too?

I don't need to travel thousand miles to find my love.

Check the drawers of the desk

and see if you can find any notes or something

that has her boyfriend's phone number on it.

Check the cabinet and the drawers.

Come here, brother.

Young girls nowadays go out with men that are

that

Where's... where's this place on the note?

Big Brother, what do we do now?

Go to the train station and get her back soon.

Now? She had left already!

Buy a ticket! We have to chase her down.

It's a long way...

What if Simei run into some bad guys on her way?

Big Brother, why are you not worried? Say something!

What's the point of worrying?

Is that going to get her back? Or teach her to know her place?

Anybody would know how far away this is.

Can we manage to chase her down?

Even if we do, what happens then?

What happened in Beijing was enough for me. For this time,

you can go chase her if you want, I'm out of this!

- I'll go if you don't go! -

Make a long distant call. Do it, do it.

Hello?

I'd like to ask if this is the Tibet Military Command...

Hello. This is No.1 News Division of Nanjing TV Station.

Your younger sister?

One moment, please.

Yicheng, you have a phone call.

Who is it?

Why are you so nervous?

Did you do something bad? It's just your sister!

I'm telling you once again.

Don't call my wife sister.

Xiaolang. What's up?

Hello, Big Brother!

Don't hang up yet.

What's up?

I've arrived in Chengdu.

I bought a long-distance bus ticket

and I'll be in Tibet in two or three days.

Don't worry about me.

You don't have to tell me where you're going and what you're up to. Whatever you want.

You'll have to take it from there.

Hey Xiaolang, what's up?

See? I've told you it's your sister!

- Are you free tonight? - Why?

You said you'd buy me dinner.

Every time I mention dinner...

you'll just mess with me.

Hello. This is No.1 News Division of Nanjing TV Station.

Your sister's calling again.

Your legs are yours, do whatever you want!

Xiaolang. I'm not talking about you.

What's up?

Today? I can't make it today. I have to go back to the old house tonight.

Bye.

You have a lot of sisters, bro.

But you can't blame that on me. This time it's you who got it wrong.

[Medical Test Result: HCG+]

Qiao Yicheng. There's a letter for you.

Thank you.

[Nan Jing]

Are you so not busy?

[I've received. The house has been taken care of. Dad]

[Ye Xiaolang promises that after college graduation she will take care of younger brother's wedding expenses and buy him a house.]

We've arrived. You'll get off here.

- We've arrived? - Yes, yes.

Thank you, thank you!

Be careful, thank you!

- Hello. - Hello.

May I ask whom you're looking for?

Hello, I'd like to speak with your Company Commander.

Company Commander? Who are...

My name's Qiao Simei. I am--

Oh, wait a moment.

Hey, Comrade Qiao Simei. Hello.

Hello, Comrade Company Commander.

I'm not the Company Commander, I'm the supervisor.

The Company Commander is out for a few days.

You can talk to me instead of the Commander.

Hello, Comrade Supervisor.

M-my name is Qiao Simei. I'm looking for Qi Chenggang, he's my--

His fiancée, correct?

How did you know? Did Chenggang tell you all?

Your Big Brother said so.

My Big Brother? How does he have your troop's number?

Did he call you? Was he really worried?

No time for questions.

Hurry and tell me, where are you right now?

I... just got off the bus.

I'm right by the bus station. Hurry and come pick me up.

Which station?

Which one?

I'm not sure either.

Anyways, when I showed the bus driver the address,

he said it was here so I got off.

You're still far from the troops.

- What? - You've got a way to go.

That's impossible!

The bus driver-- He told me to get off here!

He told me to get off. And I didn't see any other buses afterwards, I shouldn't have made a mistake.

Alright, alright.

Little girl, don't panic. It's getting late,

you should find a place to stay.

After you do, let us know.

Oh... okay.

I'm sorry for the trouble, Comrade Supervisor.

Boss. Boss, is there anywhere I can stay?

This is my new egg-fried rice recipe that I just made today, try it.

Fried rice is kind of greasy for dinner.

But when I asked you earlier what you wanted to eat, you said whatever.

Big Brother also said whatever.

I heard that... all the food in Tibet is half-cooked.

It can't be fully cooked no matter what.

I've never heard about that, life must be so difficult!

You don't need to hear of it to know, we learned it in middle school biology.

Wait, Second Brother. At a glance, your fried rice looks really oily,

but it's not greasy at all when you eat it. It's pretty good.

Sometimes when you only look with your eyes, you'll be mistaken.

Once you realize, it's too late.

Big Brother. If you're worried about Simei, just say it.

Don't take it out on us.

I'm not worried about her at all.

Forget that I'm her brother. Even if I were her father,

I could only manage her for a moment, not a lifetime!

Big Brother, don't be like this.

Simei must really home right now.

She's probably upset and has a difficult time acclimating to the altitude.

She might even be feeling guilty and crying regretfully right now.

How much must a man like a woman

to search for her for so many years?

And then you started dating.

We just got in touch.

Isn't that how love is anyways?

Two people have to stay together forever, even if they face hardships.

Maybe she just needs to run into something difficult

in order to learn her lesson.

Sometimes you have to lose some.

I don't think Simei's losing anything.

She's just brave.

A lot of people have the ones they like by their sides, but they don't cherish them.

That's called a loss, a big one.

Simei is doing what she wants, and marrying the person she wants.

I think it's worth it no matter how difficult the journey may be.

Erqiang, have you found a job yet?

I'm warning you, I don't care about Qiao Simei.

I won't take care of you either! You both are on your own in the future.

I'm not talking about you, Sanli.

Who knows if Simei's met the person she wants to marry so badly yet.

Should we get a new lightbulb?

This gal's really something.

I say the news should come share your story.

What does your boyfriend look like?

My boyfriend?

H-he's really tall!

Broad shoulders and a great body, he's really buff.

He doesn't exactly have big eyes, but they're basically like this.

His two eyes are like little sunshines, shining brightly.

He has a tall nose bridge and whenever he smiles, his white teeth show.

When will he come pick you up?

I just called his troop.

He's being sent out to pick me up tomorrow.

Anyways, I've thought about it. Once I get there, I'm telling him to tell his leader

that we'll be holding an unforgettable wedding.

The kind that no matter when or where,

it will make everyone jealous.

We have one last tank of oxygen left, keep it going.

When it's light out tomorrow, we'll go to the pharmacy and get some more, okay?

Yes.

How did I get so unacclimated with the altitude all of a sudden?

You were trembling with emotion.

Look outside, you can't take the mountain trails right now.

Just wait, your boyfriend will come get you.

Hello?

Hello?

Say something or else I'm hanging up.

Simei?

Simei, is that you?

Simei? This is Big Brother.

What happened?

Qiao Simei, say something!

I'm fine.

But I want to go home.

Simei, don't be scared.

I was in a panic earlier.

Tell me if you need help.

Just what happened?

I made a mistake. I don't want to look for my boyfriend anymore.

I'll buy the next ticket home for tomorrow.

I want to go home.

You still remember home?

Alright, come back. Come home.

Bad weather.

I guess the telecommunication lines have been damaged and not fixed yet.

Ma'am, I'm checking out.

Are you going home?

I'm not going home. I'm looking for my boyfriend.

Miss, are you crazy? Do you know how far away and hard it is?

I came here all the way from Nanjing. Why would I be afraid of the distance?

If it's hard, I'll walk slowly. Eventually I'll get there.

Ma'am, thank you for taking care of me for the past few days.

When I have a chance, I'll come back and visit you.

Hold on.

Here. This is our hostel's telephone number.

What these Tibetan words mean is

"I want to get a ride. Thank you."

Thank you, Ma'am.

No problem. Be careful on your way there.

I have to go.

I'll see you again when I have a chance.

You must be careful.

Miss! Miss!

Someone's here to pick you up.

Are you Qiao Simei?

Hi, I'm Qi Chenggang's comrade.

Our leader told me to come here and pick you up.

The original route isn't accessible. I took a big detour. Luckily, I made it in time,

otherwise not only could I not explain to our leader,

but I also couldn't explain to Qi Chenggang.

You're finally here to pick me up.

Thank you. They're finally here to pick me up.

Yay!

Take your time.

Here. Get on now.

Thank you.

So Chenggang didn't come?

Yes. His driving skills are the best among us.

He's always on a mission.

But most of the time he comes back within a day.

This time our leader gave him a little privilege,

which you'll know in a bit.

♫ I want to turn around and see the coldness melt away ♫

♫ I want to see your smiling face when I look up ♫

♫ How I wish you would show me your happiness and sorrow ♫

Have we arrived?

Not yet. Our leader ordered me to pick up one more person.

Simei, scoot over here a bit.

♫ I want you to know that love flows from the bottom of my heart ♫

Chenggang!

Chenggang!

Simei?

Why are you here?

♫ Life should always face the light ♫

♫ Embrace more hope after the disappointments ♫

♫ At the end of the night is sunshine. The happiness in my hands will bloom eventually ♫

Why are you here?

Didn't you know I was coming?

Simei,

Qi Chenggang has been on missions lately.

He didn't know you called him.

He was going to come back to the team tomorrow,

but this time he's coming back early thanks to you.

Our leader gave us money so we could buy you local specialties.

Then you can bring them home and let your siblings try them.

Thank you all.

Did you pick this for me?

Why are you here?

I'm here to look for you.

What for? Is there anything you can't say in letters?

Getting married.

♫ How I wish you would show me your happiness and sorrow ♫

Don't keep looking at me like this.

My skin has been tanned and rough lately.

I'm not looking at you.

♫ I want you to know that love flows from the bottom of my heart ♫

Thank you...

Thank you, leader.

Thank you, driver.

Thank you, the woman at the hostel and the uncle at the canteen.

The Tibetan driver.

Thank you, oxygen tank. Thank you, big car,

truck and train.

Thank you all

for letting me and Qi Chenggang meet.

♫ Life should always face the light ♫

♫ We must be strong even when we stumble and fall ♫

♫ Counting all the shooting stars landing on your shoulder, and I'll always be by your side ♫

Cows. There are cows.

♫ Life should always face the light ♫

♫ Embrace more hope after the disappointments ♫

♫ At the end of the night is sunshine ♫

♫ The happiness in my hands will bloom eventually

Hi, everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hurry up and going. They're waiting for you.

Good luck.

Who's waiting for us?

- Goodbye. Goodbye. - Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Who's waiting for us?

Don't talk nonsense after you go in.

- Report. - Please come in.

- You've completed your mission? - Yes.

Hi, leader.

Were you the person on the phone with me?

That was me.

Hi. I'm so happy.

I can finally see you all alive.

Sorry, I'm too excited.

I mean, I'm so happy to you all in person.

You should be the one who ordered me

to pick you up and whom Qi Chenggang likes. Qiao Simei, right?

Yes, that's me. That's me.

Leader, I'm sorry.

I heard from your comrades on my way here

that you're as senior as a commander.

I always thought you were Chenggang's team leader.

I apologize to you.

Thank you for bringing me the local specialties.

Don't mention it.

I should say sorry to you.

I didn't execute the order you gave me well.

You waited one more day before someone picked you up. I should apologize to you.

Please don't say that.

Forgive me. It was my fault.

I also heard there was a blizzard and roads were inaccessible.

It even delayed the mission, let alone picking me up.

I believe I was destined to stay there for one more day.

After all, it was so beautiful you wouldn't want to go home, right?

Leader, may I ask

when Qi Chenggang and I can get married?

Qi Chenggang,

you're a great comrade indeed.

You're so great that this lady came all the way here for you.

Leader, I didn't tell her to come.

What are you talking about? Do you know you made a mistake?

- Leader, I really didn't– - Didn't what?

Tell me. Did you say something to her

that made her come all the way here alone?

That's a long distance. If anything happened to her, could you shoulder responsibility?

Even her family called us.

It looks like you want to violate the rules.

Did you do anything to her?

No, leader. I really didn't tell her to come. It had nothing to do with me.

Alright. Leader, it was my fault.

It was my decision, which had nothing to do with Chenggang. I swear.

Stand aside.

It was my fault. If someone has to be punished, punish me only. Punish me.

Qiao Simei, don't cause me any more trouble.

What? How am I causing you trouble?

I shoulder my responsibility. I can't let you do it instead.

Qiao Simei,

your self-awareness is quite good.

You're aware that you did something wrong.

You came all the way here from Nanjing by yourself.

Have you thought about how worried your family would be?

Especially your eldest brother. He's worried sick.

I know they're worried about me,

but I don't find it far away at all.

I came here for love. Because of love, I don't find it far away at all.

You can't do that regardless. We're troops,

not the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

We're not responsible for marriage registration.

Even if marriage registration is doable,

you can't marry Qi Chenggang.

Why not?

I've brought my household register and a marriage certificate handled by the relevant department.

Miss, there's a policy called late marriage and late childbirth. Have you heard of it?

Qi Chenggang is an active duty soldier.

He must follow the late marriage and late childbirth policy.

Are you really his girlfriend?

Don't you know his age?

I forgot... I forgot we have two more years to go.

I won't marry you in two years.

Why are you shy? Are you afraid that I won't wait for you?

What are you doing? Showing affection in front of me?

You both are unbelievable.

Of course, we're the people's army.

Dating isn't forbidden,

but you must put training and missions first.

Qiao Simei,

I should let him spend a day or two with you since you're here,

but Qi Chenggang is our core member.

There's an important mission to carry out tomorrow,

so you both have only a half day.

No, leader. I'll send her home now.

Chenggang, I just got here.

No, can you both wait till I'm done talking?

Well,

it was hard for Qiao Simei to come all the way here.

It's getting late anyway.

Why don't you spend the night here?

We'll go to the canteen and eat something together in a bit.

I'll have someone clean up the military dependent quarters.

No, leader. You don't have to do all this.

I'll squeeze into Chenggang's bed for one night.

Qiao Simei, you're welcome if you come visit.

But we're troops.

Troops have their own discipline.

Qi Chenggang lives in a dormitory.

Also, you both aren't married yet.

Got it. Got it.

That's not what I mean. I'm saying–

Okay. Okay. Don't explain to me.

You can go if you have nothing else to say.

- Qi Chenggang. - Yes.

Take care of Simei.

After eating, escort Simei to the military dependent quarters safely.

But you... can only spend five minutes there.

Yes.

Go ahead.

Thank you, leader.

Sit down.

Comrades, I believe I don't have to introduce her.

Everyone already knows who the lady sitting next to Qi Chenggang is, right?

You should also know her glorious achievements.

But today, I have to remind all of you.

Other soldiers with partners at home,

don't just casually

bring your partner over here.

Why?

You let the cat out of the bag when she comes.

When she comes here, and she sees that the conditions here are so difficult,

what if she gets anxious, and decides to not be with you anymore?

Aren't you single then?

But as the first family member

and the only family member that will visit our unit,

I have to say four characters to you. Your courage is commendable.

After all, there are few such infatuated girls

for our people's liberation army,

especially not for our border soldiers.

Qi Chenggang, you're lucky.

You must cherish her.

Come, Comrade Simei.

No,no. This ons is mine, grab yours.

- Okay, okay. - Comrade Simei,

our leader went to a meeting at the regiment headquarters.

On behalf of our military unit,

I would like to express my warm welcome and sincere thanks.

- Everyone. - Rise!

To Comrade Simei!

To Comrade Simei!

To Sister-in-law!

What are you all doing?

Sit down! Let's eat!

- Thank you. - Sister-in-law, a toast to you.

Thank you.

- It's fine. - Sister-in-law, a toast to you from us as well.

Thank you, thank you.

- Sister-in-law, a toast. - Thank you.

Sister-in-law.

Thank you, thank you.

How's this. When Chenggang and I have our wedding,

we'll invite everyone, okay?

- Okay! - Thank you.

Come in.

Did you get that for me?

Yep.

Simei, what are you doing? Pay attention to discipline.

I missed you.

Did you miss me?

I didn't think you would come.

Right? I didn't think I would come, either.

Are you happy?

Why are you sitting so far away from me?

Are you tired from performing your tasks?

I'll give you a massage. I'm good at it.

Simei.

Thank you for visiting me. I'm touched.

But this is not great for you, is it?

Why not?

I'm saying, I thought we just got to know each other.

Besides, we are so far from each other, and I'm just a soldier.

Others would misunderstand you.

What's the misunderstanding? I like you.

Even if you went to the moon, I would go visit you.

What's wrong with being a soldier? How would you know that you won't rise as a cadre?

Even if you won't rise,

I'm willing to be with you as long as you like me.

Simei,

thank you.

Thank you for visiting me.

I want to spend some more time with you.

It's been five minutes.

Have an early rest. You're leaving early tomorrow morning.

Will you send me off tomorrow?

Chenggang, can you have a talk with the instructor,

to let me stay here with you?

Simei, stop kidding around. This is not your home in Nanjing.

This is a military unit.

Don't worry. There's a little more than a year left.

If I am able to rise as a cadre,

you can visit me whenever you want. If I can't do it...

No matter if you're able to or not,

promise me that the next time you come home we'll get married. Remember this.

Are you hearing me?

The car is here, get on it. I still have to perform some tasks in a bit.

Then promise me, the next time you come home, we're getting married.

Okay.

I promise you.

- Really? - Really.

Simei, you also have to promise me

that you won't do these silly things again in the future.

I promise you.

When is Simei getting back?

Probably around tomorrow afternoon.

This child has such good luck. We're celebrating lunar new year tomorrow. She's not missing out on anything.

Simei has had the personality of traveling thousands of miles and freeloading.

She won't miss any opportunity for a free meal.

Be careful, it's hot.

What's wrong?

Is the egg too oily?

I'll go with you the next time you go to the hospital.

It's nothing. The doctor said it should be chronic gastritis.

It's fine.

Let's not go to the TOEFL class tonight. We can call in sick.

We can't do that.

You have one less lesson every time one is held. We've paid so much for it, we have to go.

You have to go too, do you hear me?

Alright. To learning TOEFL well

and conquering the world. We won't be afraid even if we travel the entire world.

You're learning all the bad stuff from Song Qingyuan.
