Lin Mei.

4
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:54,880
Lin Mei.

5
00:01:55,626 --> 00:01:57,270
We've been waiting three days already.

6
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:59,048
Did anyone ask around at the cooperative?

7
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,679
I remember that day,

8
00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:05,520
he said he was going to catch a train.

9
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:07,679
Do you think

10
00:02:07,679 --> 00:02:09,320
he might've left it on the train?

11
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,200
How about we turn the money in to the police?

12
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,439
We've been stuck with it.

13
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:17,719
I can't even sleep in peace.

14
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,119
I keep dreaming it's gone.

15
00:02:26,839 --> 00:02:27,640
Fei Ting.

16
00:02:29,119 --> 00:02:31,200
If no one comes looking for it,

17
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,159
do you think it's possible

18
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,240
we could keep the money...

19
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,800
No.

20
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:39,640
That's not possible.

21
00:02:40,137 --> 00:02:42,520
It's someone else's money. I wouldn't feel right using it.

22
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,399
Right.

23
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,360
I was just

24
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:48,879
thinking out loud.

25
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,080
Let's wait three more days.

26
00:02:55,679 --> 00:02:56,879
If no one shows up after that,

27
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,520
we'll take it to the police.

28
00:02:59,839 --> 00:03:00,240
Okay.

29
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,599
Let's sleep.

30
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Comrade Fei Ting,

31
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,439
I was wrong earlier.

32
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:20,337
I shouldn't have had the thoughts.

33
00:03:20,999 --> 00:03:22,760
Thank you for correcting me in time.

34
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Go to sleep.

35
00:03:28,839 --> 00:03:29,320
Sleep.

36
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:06,240
Morning.

37
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,137
Morning, Ms. Fang.

38
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:08,191
Morning.

39
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Morning, Mom.

40
00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:24,120
I brought you two eggs.

41
00:04:24,204 --> 00:04:25,710
You should have some extra protein.

42
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,871
No need. I've already eaten.

43
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
And call me Ms. Mu.

44
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:32,839
Got it, Mom.

45
00:04:34,599 --> 00:04:36,239
I'll leave the eggs here.

46
00:04:36,239 --> 00:04:38,159
Have them if you get hungry.

47
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Ms. Fang, step outside with me.

48
00:04:48,159 --> 00:04:48,880
Mom.

49
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Fang Mujing.

50
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,640
What are you trying to do?

51
00:05:01,239 --> 00:05:01,799
Mom...

52
00:05:01,799 --> 00:05:02,880
Don't call me Mom.

53
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,839
You already cut ties with us.

54
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,520
That was just for show.

55
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:11,080
In my heart, I never

56
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,080
cut ties with you.

57
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Besides,

58
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,320
I never asked you to claim me.

59
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Can't I claim you instead?

60
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:18,719
No.

61
00:05:19,115 --> 00:05:20,320
I'm not your mother anymore.

62
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,279
Sorry, you don't get to decide that.

63
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:24,919
Unless you can put me back in your womb,

64
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:26,440
you'll always be my mom.

65
00:05:27,239 --> 00:05:28,560
I told you,

66
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,320
don't call me that

67
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,239
ever again!

68
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,039
Only my mom can lecture me.

69
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,520
I'm off, Mom.

70
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:47,560
Mujing,

71
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,719
Ms. Mu is really your mom?

72
00:05:52,335 --> 00:05:52,974
Yeah.

73
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:55,520
The Mu in my name comes from her.

74
00:05:55,799 --> 00:05:56,599
Oh my God.

75
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200
No wonder you two look so alike.

76
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,080
With brains like yours,

77
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,880
you must...

78
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:14,799
Mom,

79
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,120
can I borrow an eraser?

80
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:21,520
Thanks, Mom.

81
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:37,160
(Long live the unity of the world)

82
00:06:46,359 --> 00:06:46,919
Welcome.

83
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Mr. Yuan,

84
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,440
looks like you're enjoying being a waiter.

85
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,680
Lost a bet last time.

86
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,640
You actually left the newspaper.

87
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,719
A bet's a bet.

88
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Actually,

89
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:04,880
you didn't really lose that day.

90
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,960
I took Fei Ni's words to heart.

91
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:09,479
Every single one.

92
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Most of the time,

93
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,839
reality is powerful enough on its own.

94
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:16,880
All we have to do is capture it.

95
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,680
So when I was drawing that day,

96
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,279
I borrowed some of your strengths and style.

97
00:07:22,799 --> 00:07:23,919
You didn't lose to me.

98
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:26,320
You lost to me and to yourself.

99
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,159
Then you really should thank my wife.

100
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:34,680
By the way,

101
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,080
I'm here for something important.

102
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,120
The publishing house is putting out

103
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,080
a batch of novels about educated youth.

104
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,719
They need illustrations.

105
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,239
Interested

106
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,799
in working with me?

107
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:48,320
And don't worry.

108
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,399
I won't touch a single stroke this time.

109
00:07:52,599 --> 00:07:53,399
Mr. Yuan,

110
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:56,039
who's the author?

111
00:07:56,359 --> 00:07:57,479
Not decided yet.

112
00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:58,960
If you and I

113
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,399
finish this smoothly,

114
00:08:00,799 --> 00:08:02,200
I'll try to get you a position

115
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,271
at the publishing house.

116
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,120
What do you think?

117
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,080
No need, Mr. Yuan.

118
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
I'm quite happy with my current job.

119
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,880
It's free.

120
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:22,120
I draw whatever I want.

121
00:08:22,719 --> 00:08:23,719
These are all mine.

122
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:37,547
(Cold dishes, cold ham)

123
00:08:39,997 --> 00:08:42,697
(Cream bread, dinner rolls, sliced baguette.)

124
00:08:48,671 --> 00:08:51,130
(Math Department Teaching Office) Okay. That's it for today.

125
00:08:59,235 --> 00:09:05,147
(Educators must first be educated.)

126
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,599
Mom,

127
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,320
you should head back and rest.

128
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:13,719
Fang Mujing,

129
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,320
you weren't like this before.

130
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,519
You weren't either.

131
00:09:18,119 --> 00:09:19,119
I'm telling you,

132
00:09:19,119 --> 00:09:20,599
if you dare call me Mom again...

133
00:09:20,599 --> 00:09:21,440
Mom...

134
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,639
Still working?

135
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,839
Mujing and I will walk you home later.

136
00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:30,681
Yes.

137
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,560
No need.

138
00:09:41,239 --> 00:09:41,800
Qu Hua,

139
00:09:42,719 --> 00:09:43,839
are you free Tuesday?

140
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:45,479
I should be.

141
00:09:45,719 --> 00:09:46,359
Why?

142
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,320
Have dinner at my place with me.

143
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,680
Sure.

144
00:09:51,119 --> 00:09:51,680
Oh, right.

145
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:53,080
Tell Fang Muyang.

146
00:09:53,239 --> 00:09:54,400
Give him a heads-up.

147
00:09:55,479 --> 00:09:56,599
Keeping up the momentum?

148
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,320
No.

149
00:09:57,879 --> 00:09:59,879
This is persistence.

150
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:07,839
Mr. Yuan said

151
00:10:08,479 --> 00:10:10,320
the novel about educated youth

152
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,759
still doesn't have an author.

153
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:15,119
Want to give it a try?

154
00:10:15,479 --> 00:10:16,280
Me?

155
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:20,920
I've only ever published one article.

156
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:24,519
Who said just one?

157
00:10:25,835 --> 00:10:26,355
There's also

158
00:10:26,355 --> 00:10:28,514
that brilliant comic review.

159
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,719
Comrade Tian Xueying.

160
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:33,280
(I'm reading readers' letters.)

161
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,359
That many?

162
00:10:34,359 --> 00:10:35,160
Especially this one.

163
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Let me read it.

164
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,119
A letter from Comrade Tian Xueying.

165
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,400
You...

166
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,040
When did you find out?

167
00:10:41,479 --> 00:10:42,960
The moment I got it.

168
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,719
I recognize your handwriting.

169
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,080
Then why ask me to reply?

170
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:51,760
I'm not much with words.

171
00:10:51,822 --> 00:10:53,238
At most I'd write back...

172
00:10:53,359 --> 00:10:54,185
"Too kind."

173
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:55,519
"Thank you."

174
00:10:58,239 --> 00:10:58,920
But seriously,

175
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,604
why not submit something?

176
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:02,879
I don't want Mr. Yuan's help.

177
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,999
You don't have to.

178
00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:06,471
Did you forget?

179
00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:08,204
We have a cultured man in the house.

180
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:10,160
Dad,

181
00:11:11,182 --> 00:11:13,115
do you know anyone at a publishing house?

182
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,440
The publishing house?

183
00:11:14,839 --> 00:11:15,960
Of course I do.

184
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:17,479
Remember Mr. Li?

185
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,519
When you were little,

186
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,639
he always came by. (Watch on www,kisskh,pro to support Admin)

187
00:11:20,839 --> 00:11:22,239
He works at a publishing house.

188
00:11:23,599 --> 00:11:24,160
Why?

189
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,519
Could you help submit

190
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,359
Fei Ni's novel?

191
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Sure.

192
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,440
But I won't pull strings.

193
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:34,400
No favors.

194
00:11:34,719 --> 00:11:35,680
It's fair competition.

195
00:11:36,719 --> 00:11:37,479
So,

196
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:39,119
what are you planning to write?

197
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:41,479
The theme this time is

198
00:11:41,479 --> 00:11:42,479
educated youth.

199
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,320
Life as an educated youth?

200
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:46,759
That's good.

201
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,160
However,

202
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,920
don't focus only on them.

203
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,239
You could add

204
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,040
an elderly intellectual

205
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,280
to the story.

206
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,320
For example,

207
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,479
a resilient,

208
00:11:56,479 --> 00:11:58,759
optimistic old painter.

209
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Right?

210
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,119
Better yet,

211
00:12:01,119 --> 00:12:02,759
a landscape painter.

212
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:04,239
Yes,

213
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:05,759
that's the idea.

214
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,359
Dad,

215
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,639
we don't have a theme yet.

216
00:12:10,119 --> 00:12:11,560
Let's save the supporting roles

217
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:12,719
for later.

218
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:13,960
Fine.

219
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:14,893
Alright.

220
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:16,160
Fei Ni,

221
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,479
go see your brother tomorrow.

222
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:19,839
He was an educated youth too.

223
00:12:20,119 --> 00:12:21,119
Gather more material.

224
00:12:22,048 --> 00:12:24,110
If you need to interview a supporting character,

225
00:12:24,839 --> 00:12:25,759
I'm OK.

226
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,119
Got it, Dad.

227
00:12:34,119 --> 00:12:34,719
I think

228
00:12:35,119 --> 00:12:36,999
the lead should be a male educated youth.

229
00:12:37,359 --> 00:12:38,239
Make it moving.

230
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:39,359
For example,

231
00:12:39,719 --> 00:12:42,160
he volunteers to go to the countryside for his sister.

232
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:44,239
If it's written by a woman,

233
00:12:44,239 --> 00:12:45,680
then it should be about a woman.

234
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:46,519
What?

235
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:48,920
Women can't brave the elements?

236
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Of course,

237
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,759
there are female educated youth.

238
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:52,680
I just think the lead works better as a man.

239
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,960
Let me say something.

240
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,359
It doesn't matter

241
00:12:55,359 --> 00:12:56,920
whether the lead is male or female.

242
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,119
What matters is a harmonious family.

243
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,759
Write about their home life.

244
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:01,800
For example, the parents.

245
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,680
They're wonderful.

246
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:03,599
Especially the father.

247
00:13:03,599 --> 00:13:04,560
He plays chess.

248
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,639
He practices Tai Chi.

249
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:06,160
Right?

250
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,026
Alright, alright.

251
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,960
I can hear all your scheming

252
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,119
from next door.

253
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,200
Ni finally has a chance

254
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,160
to prove herself.

255
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,119
I have no demands.

256
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,440
Write it however you like.

257
00:13:17,479 --> 00:13:18,320
Just one thing.

258
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,200
Maybe you could use my name.

259
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:20,999
Baoying.

260
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:22,759
It sounds like

261
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,359
a fearless,

262
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:25,920
inspiring,

263
00:13:26,119 --> 00:13:27,960
heroic young woman.

264
00:13:28,359 --> 00:13:28,719
Fine.

265
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,160
Mom, I'll use it.

266
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,080
Then my name's even better.

267
00:13:33,239 --> 00:13:34,440
"Lin Mei" works too.

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,560
You can use them all.

269
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:36,759
Make it the whole family.

270
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:38,359
Listen to me. I know this stuff.

271
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Put our stories in there too.

272
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:44,719
Right?

273
00:13:44,719 --> 00:13:46,400
How about writing your father

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,229
as a chess player?

275
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:48,537
I went to the countryside too.

276
00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:50,920
From a woman's perspective, it should...

277
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:56,239
Chen.

278
00:13:58,119 --> 00:13:58,560
Ling Yi.

279
00:13:59,119 --> 00:13:59,680
You're here.

280
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:00,920
Sorry to keep you waiting.

281
00:14:01,119 --> 00:14:01,440
Sit.

282
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,119
What is it?

283
00:14:06,839 --> 00:14:07,440
Chen,

284
00:14:08,372 --> 00:14:10,331
I don't want to stay in the Publicity Division.

285
00:14:11,247 --> 00:14:12,647
Transfer me to your department.

286
00:14:17,119 --> 00:14:18,320
A transfer?

287
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,119
That won't be easy.

288
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:23,879
But it's not impossible.

289
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,160
It depends...

290
00:14:32,359 --> 00:14:33,599
It depends on your performance.

291
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,040
You dare hit me?

292
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,160
Because you're a pervert!

293
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,759
Ye Feng!

294
00:15:00,397 --> 00:15:01,397
Chen, go!

295
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,293
- What are you doing? Let go. - Just go.

296
00:15:03,382 --> 00:15:04,110
Ling Yi, let go.

297
00:15:04,119 --> 00:15:04,879
Ye Feng.

298
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:05,759
Leave now.

299
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Let go of me!

300
00:15:07,359 --> 00:15:08,560
Ye Feng, this is a school.

301
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,960
What do you think you're doing?

302
00:15:14,119 --> 00:15:15,040
Stop defending him!

303
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,119
Ye Feng,

304
00:15:29,119 --> 00:15:30,872
this is where we first met.

305
00:15:32,247 --> 00:15:33,328
This is where we began.

306
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:35,197
Let's end it here, too.

307
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,400
You really want a divorce?

308
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,560
Ye Feng,

309
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:42,080
you're lazy,

310
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,839
but I'm not.

311
00:15:44,359 --> 00:15:46,359
Why can't you just be content?

312
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,080
Is our life really that bad?

313
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,349
If I were that easy to satisfy,

314
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:51,430
I'd still be in Great Northern Wilderness feeding pigs.

315
00:15:51,448 --> 00:15:52,930
I wouldn't have gone to my senior

316
00:15:52,935 --> 00:15:54,136
again and again for you.

317
00:15:54,260 --> 00:15:56,360
I wouldn't have pushed you to study!

318
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Tomorrow at 10 AM,

319
00:16:03,893 --> 00:16:05,040
at the subdistrict office.

320
00:16:27,835 --> 00:16:30,860
(Family Quarters) (Unite and strive for greater victories)

321
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Where's Ling Yi?

322
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,719
Didn't I tell you?

323
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,960
Go talk to her properly.

324
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,999
Win her back.

325
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,719
She's with another man.

326
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,239
Her senior.

327
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:06,360
Chen Donghua.

328
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:12,840
You mean

329
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,239
Ling Yi has a moral conduct issue?

330
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,279
Son,

331
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,960
that's serious.

332
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,999
You can't just

333
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:27,920
throw accusations

334
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,960
at your own wife.

335
00:17:30,239 --> 00:17:30,680
Mom,

336
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,239
I saw it myself.

337
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,160
I agreed to divorce her.

338
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,759
That's indecent!

339
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,759
Some bureau chief's secretary?

340
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:07,799
Ye Feng,

341
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,279
write a report.

342
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,319
Tomorrow I'll go

343
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,759
to their workplace

344
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,799
and report him.

345
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,360
Mom,

346
00:18:17,479 --> 00:18:18,120
forget it.

347
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,039
Let it go?

348
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,319
How can we let it go?

349
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:23,960
If we report Chen Donghua, Ling Yi...

350
00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:29,200
She won't graduate.

351
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,759
You're getting divorced,

352
00:18:36,893 --> 00:18:38,270
and you still care about her?

353
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:39,999
I'm the one who chose the divorce.

354
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:43,200
Mom,

355
00:18:44,479 --> 00:18:45,120
that's it.

356
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:48,479
That's it.

357
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:34,319
(Can you teach me how to shoot hoops?)

358
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,039
(Ling Yi,)

359
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:36,880
(you've been so good to me.)

360
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:38,319
(If I didn't like you,)

361
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:39,685
(I'd have to be blind.)

362
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:44,920
(This abacus)

363
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:46,640
(is my gift for you.)

364
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,519
(Study hard.)

365
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,440
(I'm not cut out for this.)

366
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,737
(I don't even want to learn.)

367
00:19:52,085 --> 00:19:53,840
(Even if I'm a lump of mud,)

368
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,519
(I'll have to climb higher!)

369
00:19:55,871 --> 00:19:57,400
(Ling Yi) (You're lazy, but I'm not.)

370
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:03,160
(This is where we began.)

371
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:05,010
(Let's end it here, too.)

372
00:20:20,660 --> 00:20:22,522
(Divorce Certificate, Ye Feng and Ling Yi)

373
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:27,960
Anything left to pick up at home?

374
00:20:28,999 --> 00:20:29,760
Another time.

375
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:31,719
Okay.

376
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:33,880
I'll go first.

377
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,559
Here, Ms. Xu.

378
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:07,559
Take a look.

379
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,479
Wonderful!

380
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:12,600
It's exactly like the photo.

381
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Thank you, Fang.

382
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,026
You're welcome.

383
00:21:16,479 --> 00:21:18,880
Could you paint those people

384
00:21:18,922 --> 00:21:20,799
(Long live the unity of the world) behind me,

385
00:21:21,239 --> 00:21:22,160
so it feels like

386
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:23,559
I'm standing together

387
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,204
with the people of the world?

388
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:32,160
It's doable.

389
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,479
Ms. Xu,

390
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:37,680
I have a request, too.

391
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:38,680
What is it?

392
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,759
Could I borrow the café's coffee pot

393
00:21:41,671 --> 00:21:42,960
and take it home for a night?

394
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,960
Store policy says

395
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,600
nothing leaves the premises.

396
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:48,648
How about this?

397
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,999
I'll leave

398
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:51,200
a ten-yuan deposit

399
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,239
and my work ID.

400
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:52,920
Okay?

401
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,799
Ms. Xu,

402
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:56,400
just one night.

403
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:58,200
I'll bring it back in the morning.

404
00:21:58,559 --> 00:21:59,479
I won't damage it.

405
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:02,479
Alright. Just one night.

406
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:03,600
Great.

407
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:04,559
No problem.

408
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:41,039
Here, Fei Ni.

409
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:43,239
Try it.

410
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,559
Will this even help?

411
00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:47,319
Take a sip and see.

412
00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:52,799
So bitter.

413
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,680
Is it too strong?

414
00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:55,600
Too strong?

415
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:56,759
Let me try.

416
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Yeah.

417
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,360
It's a bit strong.

418
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,519
But it'll help you focus.

419
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:07,960
Alright.

420
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:17,840
Don't waste it.

are you free in a few days?

434
00:24:45,204 --> 00:24:46,582

Don't rush.

439

One step at a time.

00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:21,519
Come.

578
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:28,759
Dad, Mom,

579
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:30,440
let me introduce you.

580
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:31,999
This is Comrade Qu Hua.

581
00:32:32,239 --> 00:32:33,079
He's a doctor.

582
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:34,479
We met in the disaster zone.

583
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,279
And this is his wife.

584
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,400
Dad.

585
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,459
Mom.

586
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:43,799
Have a seat.

587
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:44,719
Dad,

588
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:45,880
we brought a small gift.

589
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,360
You shouldn't have. Come.

590
00:32:48,479 --> 00:32:50,120
Mujing, sit.

591
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:54,880
Mom,

592
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,880
I knitted you a scarf.

593
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:04,999
This scarf...

594
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,999
It suits you.

595
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,840
When I was in Yunnan,

596
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,039
I received one, too,

597
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,039
exactly the same as this.

598
00:33:19,239 --> 00:33:20,039
And a letter

599
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,880
about cutting ties.

600
00:33:33,426 --> 00:33:35,137
I made this one identical on purpose.

601
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:37,079
I made a mistake.

602
00:33:37,239 --> 00:33:38,479
I want to make it right.

603
00:33:40,719 --> 00:33:41,719
Eat without me.

604
00:33:55,847 --> 00:33:56,287
Jing.

605
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Mujing, it's fine.

606
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,799
Come, sit.

607
00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:05,840
Qu Hua...

608
00:34:10,647 --> 00:34:11,447
Let them talk.

609
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:23,280
Let's just be honest.

610
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:29,840
I was selfish.

611
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,880
I didn't want to give up my future.

612
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,159
That was my fault.

613
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,320
I'm the only one to blame.

614
00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:43,280
Today, I just want to admit it,

615
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:44,840
and accept

616
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:45,720
the consequences.

617
00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:49,119
I only ask

618
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:50,559
for a chance to make it right.

619
00:34:54,999 --> 00:34:56,599
When you're young and writing in pencil,

620
00:34:58,079 --> 00:34:59,159
if you make a mistake,

621
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,240
you can erase it.

622
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:04,280
When you grow up and write in ink,

623
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,639
even if you scratch it out,

624
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:08,840
the stain remains.

625
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:13,840
So are we still a family?

626
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,039
Still mother and daughter?

627
00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,240
You were the one who cut ties.

628
00:35:22,479 --> 00:35:25,199
Yes, I did.

629
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,159
But that was to get into the math project team.

630
00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:30,280
You don't know how much I endured,

631
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,599
how many cold looks,

632
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:33,240
just because

633
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:34,360
my surname is Fang.

634
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,840
My very name was the reason

635
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,280
I was looked down on.

636
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,800
You could've changed your name.

637
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,559
I could change my name,

638
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,559
but can I change this face?

639
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,159
My nose, my eyes?

640
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,800
Can I change the blood in my veins?

641
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,720
That all came from you.

642
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:01,559
You've always taught me

643
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:02,800
that I was

644
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,159
born for mathematics,

645
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,199
that my whole life should be devoted to it.

646
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:08,079
I devoted it.

647
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:09,599
And then what?

648
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:30,440
Mom,

649
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,039
this might be

650
00:36:33,039 --> 00:36:34,240
the last time I call you that.

651
00:36:35,479 --> 00:36:37,559
If you don't want us to be family anymore,

652
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,280
let's make it clear today.

653
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,320
Cut ties with me again.

654
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,999
At least I'll know where I stand.

655
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:49,039
From now on,

656
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,559
we'll be two parallel lines.

657
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,599
I'll never cross paths with you again.

658
00:36:58,079 --> 00:36:58,999
Are you done?

659
00:37:02,999 --> 00:37:03,800
Fang Mujing,

660
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,440
this house is small.

661
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,360
Where else can I hide?

662
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:32,519
Dad,

663
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:33,320
I'll get going.

664
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:16,920
Mom, I'm coming in.

665
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:22,039
They say

666
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:24,079
you don't hit a smiling face.

667
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:26,280
You embarrassed Qu Hua.

668
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,240
Go see him tomorrow.

669
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:32,639
Apologize for me.

670
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:36,280
Alright.

671
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,440
You're right.

672
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:41,079
Everyone makes mistakes.

673
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,440
Give her a chance to apologize.

674
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:50,479
I didn't think

675
00:38:50,479 --> 00:38:52,199
you two were that close.

676
00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:53,999
We're not that close.

677
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:56,079
I just like my brother-in-law.

678
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,440
Mom,

679
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:00,760
sit down.

680
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,240
Mom,

681
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,440
back then,

682
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,079
my sister had no choice.

683
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,800
And whoever does?

684
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,119
During those years in Yunnan,

685
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,320
you wrote to us often,

686
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:24,960
and sent us money.

687
00:39:26,479 --> 00:39:27,920
We were afraid of dragging you down,

688
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:29,280
so we didn't dare reply.

689
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:31,559
But your sister?

690
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,519
Did she ever write us a single letter?

691
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,639
Later,

692
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,199
I took the initiative to write to her,

693
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,679
asking how she was,

694
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:46,079
whether she'd been mistreated.

695
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:47,639
She never replied.

696
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:48,999
In the end,

697
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,440
what I received

698
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,280
was that letter.

699
00:39:55,479 --> 00:39:56,119
Every so often,

700
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,159
I take it out

701
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,199
and read it.

702
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,920
I want to remind myself

703
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,280
that I no longer

704
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:09,320
have a daughter.

705
00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:19,039
Give me that letter someday.

706
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,280
I'll burn it.

707
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:22,679
Out of sight, out of mind.

708
00:40:26,479 --> 00:40:27,320
Yang,

709
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,159
I'm not afraid of hurting you.

710
00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:30,800
I'll be honest.

711
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:33,039
I always favored your sister,

712
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:35,280
because I thought she was like me,

713
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,479
that she would achieve something in academia.

714
00:40:38,479 --> 00:40:40,440
All those years of favoritism

715
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:43,479
led to this outcome.

716
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:44,920
Mom,

717
00:40:46,039 --> 00:40:47,840
doesn't that prove your teaching worked?

718
00:40:49,079 --> 00:40:51,400
Isn't mathematics about absolute rationality?

719
00:40:52,004 --> 00:40:53,070
You just said it yourself.

720
00:40:53,559 --> 00:40:54,280
She's like you.

721
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:55,519
Rational,

722
00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:56,479
and stubborn.

723
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,039
So for her,

724
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,559
cutting ties with us

725
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,280
was the most rational choice.

726
00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:05,400
It's hard to accept emotionally,

727
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,880
but in reality, we lost nothing.

728
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,639
That's the optimal solution.

729
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:19,960
Mom,

730
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:21,960
a family

731
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,360
can never fall apart.

732
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,079
We've already been separated for so long.

733
00:41:28,315 --> 00:41:30,182
We shouldn't keep punishing ourselves

734
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,039
for past mistakes.

735
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,519
Oh, Mom.

736
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,240
The money I sent you all these years

737
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,240
was from my sister.

738
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:02,599
She must have known

739
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,079
I would pass it on to you.

740
00:43:10,310 --> 00:43:11,350
Do you also think

741
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,226
I'm an unfilial daughter?
