Specialist, anyone?

Need a specialist?

Need a number for a specialist?

Specialist?

Need a number for a specialist?

No

Hey, buddy …

Need one, Ma’am?

Yes

Which department?

Dermatology

Dermatology …

Here you are

Let me see it

I’ll have one

Yes

Desert Ship: Queuing for your father again?

Misty Landscape: Yup

Desert Ship: Why did you turn down my friend request?

under this special function as strangers, you know...

...Misty Landscape: We can chat freely

Misty Landscape: So no need to meet

Misty Landscape: Gotta go, they’re opening registration

Orthopedics, please

No specialist slots left, only regular

That will do

Thanks

Hello, Dad?

I’ve registered for you, set off now

Okay

Go upstairs

Stop here, right here

Alright

Now lean forward

This way is fine

Alright

Lean backward

No, no, I can’t do that

Okay

This's it

Get dressed

I’ve looked at your X-rays

And given you a physical

Your spine is disjointed

You could get a slipped disc

You must keep warm and avoid humidity

Don’t stand for long periods

Avoid air conditioners

And no heavy lifting

Yaoting

You should be at work

Hurry back

Go on, doctor

In my opinion …

Considering your situation …

I think …

… you should stay as inpatient

You need surgery

Desert Ship: What did the doctor say?

Desert Ship: Tell me if you need a part time job

Misty Landscape: His spine is disjointed. Needs surgery

Misty Landscape: Thanks

Misty Landscape: I have to work now

I know

Sure, don’t worry

I’ll do my best to handle it for you

Yes, okay

Okay

Don’t worry about it

For sure

Okay, bye now

It’s no good hanging around

Pack up and look for another job

Director...

I promise...

… I’ll never be off sick again

Really

The whole industrial zone is laying off workers

These industries are in decline

It makes no sense to keep you

Orders aren’t coming in

There’s no work for you

We can't pay you

I have to think about my own job too

Go see the office about severance

Here

Our land is now contracted to Zhao Jiaming

We work for him and earn money by the acre

The more we work, the more we earn

And with a tractor, we can earn lots in a year

In 2015, the transferred land area of our province reached 75753 sq km

Come through

I’ll do your moxibustion

We continue to push forward the new socialist countryside plan

Develop bilaterally new urbanization and agricultural modernization

And promote and standardize urban and rural public sevices

To make the countryside a beautiful home for all farmers

This is Gansu TV reported

I lost my job

There were layoffs

OMG!

What is it?

Where is that?

Hey, excuse me

Excuse me

There was an accident involving a landslide

Let me have that

Yaoting, look, isn’t that where your dad works?

I have to thank God

Yesterday when they fired me …

… I begged them to let me stay on

If I had stayed …

… I probably wouldn’t be here now

God wants us to go back to Gansu

WALKING PAST THE FUTURE

Misty Landscape: No surgery … He’s too cautious

Misty Landscape: He’s taking Chinese medicine

Desert Ship: My dad used to have spine problems too

Desert Ship: Surgery is better

Desert Ship: It’s great you have a place to go home to

Misty Landscape: I’ve been there only once, for my ID card

Misty Landscape: Going to GanSu is our only option

Slowly

Ahh

Okay

Watch your step

Let me

Yaoting, no rush

Aiya

We're home

Where are we?

That way

Come on

Let's see...

It’s that way

Come on

Come on

Come on, Yaonan, keep up

Aiya!

The lock’s too stiff

Aiya, I can’t get it open

What the …

Our yard has become a sheepfold

Whose sheep?

Sheep!

Right

Don’t run!

Oh dear

Whose sheep are they?

Here, Brother, have a smoke

These southerners are not like us

Soft, white skin …

It’s town water that does it

Yaoting, this is Grandpa Gong

Grandpa Gong

Please

Oh this

This is our close relative

You sisters call her Auntie

Aiya!

After decades away, you’ve forgotten!

You call me Aunt

The girls call me Grandaunt

That’s right

I’ve been away too long, I’m confused

When you left for the south …

… you were almost as young as the girls

Time flies, the girls have grown up

If you hadn’t lost your first kid …

… you’d be grandparents by now

Have a smoke

What did they say?

I didn’t get a word of it

Shh

What are the daughter’s names?

A smoke, a smoke

The elder one is Yaoting, the younger one is Yaonan

Yaonan, Yaoting …

City people do look younger

She and I were born in the same year

Look at me!

I look like a real grandmother

She doesn’t look like a woman in her sixties

Don’t say that

What do they do in the city? And you?

They work indoors

How can we compare?

We farmers live by working the land

Smart people won't choose farming

Only people like us, without skills

You’re joking, Aunt!

Come, have some tea

Here some tea

Li Qian: When will you come back?

Li Qian: Apply for a passport while you're there

Yang Yaoting: I'll stay with them for a few more days

Yang Yaoting：I’ll come back when they’re settled

Yang Yaoting: That depends

Yaonan, put the phone away and get some sleep

We have to be up early tomorrow

Yaoting...

Go with dad to reclaim our farmland tomorrow

Okay

I’ll take Yaonan to register at the school

Your dad is getting more stubborn

He gets angry over petty things

You young ones are more flexible

Do take care of him …

Okay

I know

Sleep now

Uncle

You left for Shenzhen 25 years ago

You gave your land to my dad then

I don’t know much, because I wasn’t born yet

Yes

My dad died 7 years ago

Zhang Yongfu owns all the village land now

And we don't know if you can get it back

Why don't I take you tu Yongfu

You can ask him directly

Come, perk up a little

Let’s make it a bit better

Keep your eyes open wide!

Back row, stand closer together

Look, Uncle, that’s Zhang Yongfu

Ask him about the land

Keep your eyes open!

You two need to switch places

You here, you there

That’s more like it

All right

Okay

Ma Jiwen, what are you doing? You should be in it

Okay

Hold this picture, stand there

Where are you going? Stand there

Look lively, everyone

All right

Okay, look this way

Look up, and smile

Hold on...

What are you two doing there?

Go away, go away!

Okay

Look this way, keep your heads up

Smile

Come in, sit down

Help yourselves

I’ll explain the situation

The land belonged to our ancestors

Then it was assigned to you

And now it’s been returned to us

You must know all this already

And there’s another issue …

See this...

These are the laws and regulations

This is the signed transfer contract

Take a look

Well … this is how it is

You’ve been away for a decade or so

Maybe you’re not up-to-speed with the policy

These procedures are in full compliance

Just what the government calls for

It adheres to national policy

It’s … protected by law

Take a look, it’s all crystal clear

So... well...

I can’t return the land to you

But if you want, come work for me

You are absolutely welcome

Do have some fruit

Make yourself at home

Hey!

The others are done for the day

We should hurry

Yaoting...

Yes?

You've never used a sickle

Be careful

Okay

Be careful of your leg

Aiya!

Ouch!

What it is?

Dad

What’s wrong?

You are bleeding! Quick, quick …

I'm okay

Aiya

Cover your wound!

It’s alright, I’m okay

You’re bleeding

I'm alright

You’re cooking?

Hello

Don’t get up!

How’s your leg?

I'm okay

Alright

I came to tell you something

Here’s 600 yuan

Today’s wages for the three of you

Thank you

Well...

What's I'm saying is...

You don’t need to come tomorrow

You've been in city for quite a while

This hard work is too much for you

You can’t keep up with the others

It disturbs me too

Well...

Listen, I'll spell it out

The others finish an acre a day each

And cut the cornstalks

I pay each person 200 yuan per day

You three spent a whole day on one acre

And I have to pay each of you 200 yuan!

You’re getting on a bit

If you strain your back …

… or break your leg …

… I have to cover the medical bills

So I need to weigh the pros and cons

I don’t smoke, I don’t smoke

Take one

Take one

That’s it, I have to go

Take it easy, enjoy your meal

Don’t rush off!

Don’t get up

How about...

… you come back to Shenzhen with me?

Ah...

It costs less to stay here

We don’t need to pay rent

In Shenzhen, a month costs us several thousand

Here...

… the money covers several months

On top of that …

… the air here is dry

It’s good for our joints

And we must take care of your sister …

… until she gets to college

In a few days …

… we’ll go into town and find some odd work

We’ll be fine

Okay

When you are there

buy anything you want

Do not hesitate to spend money

Dad

Ma

My wife and I won't leave again

From now on, we’ll visit at every festival

And burn you some paper money

Please bless our health

Bless that Yaoting’s work goes well

And Yaonan …

May she get into college in Shenzhen

Yaonan …

Yes

Go back to school

You must study hard

And try to get in a Shenzhen college, got that?

I'll try my best to make money

Take our parents back to Shenzhen soon

They are old and in bad health

Pretend to be agreeable if you have to

Don't make them angry

got that?

Yes, I know

I'm leaving

It has a roof garden

A cinema, an ice-rink, well equipped

This way, please

Hey excuse me

There will be a school over there

And here is a park

This road conveniently leads to the airport

Pardon me, but are you married?

Never mind, there’ll also be a kindergarten

For when you have a baby

This way, please

Excuse me...

House prices in Shenzhen go up every day

The sooner you buy, the less you pay

You don’t need me to tell you that

Those are mostly …

… small apartments for the elderly

This way, please

I'm sorry, excuse me

Sorry, excuse me

Ok, thanks

Well...

Whether you buy it to live in …

… or as an investment …

… you’ll find it a nice nest-egg for the future

Please consider it

What’s going on?

You said you'd come!

Ah, too embarrassing

Hey pretty lady...

You alone?

Need help?

Where are you going?

I could lead you to the exit

Fine

Then help me get downstairs

And hail a taxi for me

Sure, no problem

Come on

Please

We've reached the crossing

Want to cross?

Of course

Thank you

Don’t thank me

There’s a charge for this

No charge for seeing you out

But 100 yuan for crossing the road

300 yuan for getting you a taxi

You pay the taxi fare

Screw you! You have some nerve!

I’ll manage by myself

Ah

Trying to kill yourself?

None of your business

Take it or leave it, pretty lady

My rotten luck

I’ll be clear upfront

You get nothing till I reach the factory gate

Okay, let’s go

Get in

Li Qian

Hmm

I’ll do it … Thank you

Not at all

Not bad!

Getting a handsome boy to see you back here!

Don’t thank him

He saw me helpless in the hospital

Made me let him escort me back

So he can extort 400 yuan from me!

Hey!

You haven’t paid yet

Pay up!

300 yuan

You should be ashamed of yourself

Come on

You pay the taxi fare!

Are you okay?

Is he really good looking?

Who cares, considering how he behaves

Recently

A lot of factories shut down

Many jobless people are on the street

Now our company got a new contract

Need people to test the risky medicine

You...

… must check thoroughly …

… the health conditions of these applicants

Desert Ship: Back to Shenzhen?

You got that?

Misty Landscape: Yes

Hey!

Yes! I'm working

Misty Landscape: I want to buy an apartment for my parents

Desert Ship: Good girl! You deserve a Like!

Why won’t you go to Korea?

You said you’d come with me

I've already got my VISA

We’re different

You don’t have family to look after

But I have parents to worry about

And a sister who’ll need school fees

Desert Ship: I can find you a job to make some fast cash

Misty Landscape: I’ll check the site tomorrow

Hello?

Hello, good-looking, remember me?

I brought you back from the hospital

That handsome boy is calling me

What do you want?

I owe you money

Are you free now? Come and eat with me

Don’t forget to bring your pretty friend along

He invites us to eat

Scumbag! You go yourself

I won’t go

You have to come

I'll think it over

Will you come?

We have to get back the 300 yuan, right?

I won’t go

Hey

Thanks, sis

Thanks, sis

I heard him speak good Cantonese in the taxi that day

Must be a local

If we get on well …

… I’ll introduce you to all his wealthy friends

No need

Thanks, sis

Thanks, sis

Hi, there!

Today's the 15th?

It's the specal day!

Hong and her husband!

We should go out together

Yaoting, thank you

Please share this lucky money from us

Okay

Hong, you look great with your hair down

Hurry up, get changed

I don’t know what to wear

Anything will do, come on

Desert Ship: How’s the apartment?

Desert Ship: You’re very responsible, seriously!

Misty Landscape: If it hadn’t been for me, my parents …

Misty Landscape: would’ve bought a Shenzhen apartment…

Misty Landscape: … many years ago

Hey, stop chatting with girls online

You’re with actual pretty women right now!

Come on then … Cheers!

Hey good-looking, turn off your phone

Have a drink

Ah

From now on, we’re all friends

If you need help, ask me

I mean that

Especially financial matters

I’m not too flush myself …

But I can show you how to make money

Come on...

Add me to your friend list

Pretty lady, add me

Scan it

Let me scan yours

Eat

Sure let’s eat

Dude...

Dude...

Hey

Over here

Coming

What would you like to hear, buddy?

What’s it called?

“The Brightest Star in the Night Sky” … that one

“The Brightest Star in the Night Sky”

That’s the one

Thanks

Cheers

Why aren’t you drinking?

Ah

Hey, go to that bit …

“Give me the courage to believe again”

Where it peaks

Start from where it peaks?

Okay

Hao...

Hao...

Business card

I want to tell you all about a part time job

Low risk, high income

No conflict with your regular job

Tell your friends and colleagues about it

You can all come together

Give me a call when you’re up for it

Hao...

Hand out some cards to the other tables

Okay, that’s enough

What are you singing?

Go home and practice!

Even I can sing better than you

Sorry

Of all our 30-square-metre apartments …

… this is the best

Take a look at it from outside … This way

Ladies, this way please

You are now standing …

… in the future living room

Isn’t it nice?

Look there...

School, hospital, gymnasium …

And subway station

It’s all taking shape

There’ll be a swimming pool downstairs

Free for the use of apartment owners

In Shenzhen...

Of all compact 30-square-metre apartments …

… ours might be the best

House prices keep going up

The sooner you buy, the less you pay

It pays to get in quick!

You can't buy time

No regrets in future!

How can you pay so much huge deposit?

I’ve saved 70,000 yuan

My parents left me a debit card

That’s good for around 100,000 yuan

Not enough, but I’ll raise the balance

Hey, Yaoting!

I am Wang Gang

Don’t you remember?

I came to your place a few years ago

Around five years ago

I had dinner in your home

Your ma cooked Gansu noodles

It was delicious

Your parents worked on our construction site

Hello

You came to see an apartment?

Yes

Planning to buy one?

You need to be quick

I heard people saying...

...that price will go up next month

If you decide to buy...

...give me a call

Maybe I can put in a word for you

Get you a discount

Take my name card

We need to get going

Thank you

You're welcome, grab the chance!

Say hello to your parents

I will

Why are you calling?

Inviting me to dinner again?

Oh

How much?

Ah

Okay, okay! I’m free

Okay

Hey, Yaoting

Xinmin just called

He says that this evening...

… that part-time job is coming up

For one night’s work …

… they pay three or four thousand

That’s nearly what we earn in a month!

But a guy like that …

You really think the job can be decent?

Don’t go

I won't go

What’s wrong with him?

He says lots of our workmates have done it

And it pays so well!

If I do it a few times …

… I’ll have enough …

… for my nose-job

How’s this?

Look good

If you don’t go I will go alone

Ma

Ma

have you eaten?

Yes, I have

How are things there?

How are you and dad?

Li Qian!

Hang on, I'll come

How’s Dad?

Li Qian

Ma

Hello?

Hello?

Have you thought it over?

Other people are after that apartment

If you want it, please put down the deposit a.s.a.p.

If worker Wang Gang hadn’t reminded us …

...we'd have sold it already

I see, thank you

Let’s go to the karaoke tonight

My treat

Hurry up

Sis

Hurry up

It's what they pay us for

Yes, I know

Well...

I’ll take another look at the apartment

If there’s no problem …

… I’ll do the deal

If you like

Very well...

Okay

Hang on...

I'll take it

No need to check

Count the cash

Okay, sir, there’s no rush

You need to fill in the form

That apartment is reserved for me!

Why give it to him?

We can sort it out

We have other apartments

No, I want one the same as his

I’ll find one for you

Well...

I don’t have enough money now

How about …

How much do you have in hand?

Pay what you can now …

… as a first installment

We can reserve the place for you

Then later you pay the full deposit

The price goes up day by day

Or do you need to think it over?

I can pay 70,000 now, is that okay?

That’s fine

Here …

Fill in the form

“All around you …”

“… girls fawning over you”

“But you only have eyes for me”

Misty Landscape: parents raise us up

Misty Landscape: now they are old

Misty Landscape: I can't ignore them

Desert Ship: Good one! A chicken soup for the soul!

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“Am I not hot enough for you?”

“Don’t do this to me, don’t!”

“I miss you, miss you day and night”

“I call you but another girl is in your arms”

“I miss you, I hate you, my heart's in pieces”

Misty Landscape: You locals won't know how we migrants feel

Misty Landscape: They've worked half their lives in Shenzhen

Misty Landscape: yet they still can't stay

Misty Landscape: Who else can they rely on

“Don’t think it over, don’t hesitate”

“I’ll give you a sports car”

Yaoting, Yaoting, sing with me

Sis, eat what you like, I can afford it

Xinmin is a good guy

We went there last night

Had a good sleep …

And he gave us 4000 yuan each in the morning!

Answer it

When I’ve had my nose-job …

… I’ll help you to find a way

Get me some food

Hello?

Hello?

Hello

You need to pay that deposit soon

The price went up this morning

Many people are after that place

Please save it for me, I know the score

I’ll pay as soon as I can

Don’t worry

Okay

Thank you

Because orders are down...

We need to close the plant for maintenance and reform.

All employees are laid off for a week without pay

This is the drug trial contract

Read it carefully

It states your rights and risks of the drug

Also suitability for the trial …

… and potential side-effects

Read it carefully, everyone

I have your health reports here

You’ve all passed your physicals

But I trust that you’ve given full information

I remind you again, do the trial at your own risks

When you’ve all finished reading it …

… sign, give the blood sample and take the drug

Then rest in the observation room

Tomorrow morning give another blood sample for testing

Then you get paid and go home

Some of you have done this before

They’ll be able to answer any questions you have

If you decide against taking the trial …

… you’re free to leave whenever you wish

This is a voluntary paid clinical trial

By doing this, you’re all helping patients

You’re back again! You must be robust

Any problem?

Give the blood sample over there

Sis...

Okay?

Hao, check it

Okay

Nice lip color

That's done

She’s the last one … good work!

Let’s have dinner together sometime

On night duty, eh?

Yes

Your boyfriend will pick you up in the morning?

No boyfriend

Now rest in the observation room

That does it … How many?

23

Okay

Good work

All right

Let’s go

Please rest here

We’ll observe you overnight

If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately

We might need to do some urine tests

In the morning, there’ll be a fresh blood test

After that you can leave

“Lots of lay-offs these days”

“Ask anyone from the factories”

“The more people you bring in, the more you’ll be paid”

“I can see you spend a lot on cosmetics and facials”

“And you’ve been abroad … Can you afford it all?”

“Not really, there’s never enough money”

“Ask me for help, I know a job you can do”

Desert Ship: Most girls I know are selfish

Desert Ship: But you are different

Desert Ship: Add me as friend

Misty Landscape: We can chat freely...

...under this special function as strangers, you know

Misty Landscape: We won't be able to chat as freely being friends

Hey, don’t sit down again! Get up!

Get up, get up!

Give the blood sample and go home to sleep

Hey, wake up! On your feet!

Blood sample, then go home

Check it

Your fee

Check it

Sis...

Yaoting...

Pretty lady …

I’ll soon have enough for my nose-job!

Good for you!

Many factories are slowing production these days

You can invite your friends to come along

Fatten up their wallets

Yaoting: Is Dad seriously injured?

Yaoting: Why did they fight?

Yaonan: Dad is alright, but his pride is hurt

Yaonan: He said Dad is infertile, can only raise girls

Yaoting: Yaonan, you keep an eye on dad these days

Yaoting: He is bad temper

Yaoting: Ask him to stay at home these days

Yaoting: I don't want him fight again

Yaonan: Okay, Sis, don’t worry

Young lady, a fitness center

With swimming pool, take a look

Fitness center

Sir, sir, take a look

Sir, a fitness center

Young lady, a fitness center

Young lady, a fitness center

This is endless

Young lady, a fitness center

This job is murder

Sir, sir, a fitness center

I'm too tired

Let’s find somewhere to take a break

Better to finish it

Collect the money and head home

50 yuan

Here...

Thanks

You need a car?

No, old people can’t drive

Don’t need to burn one

With driver!

No need, thanks

Hey, Yaoting

Hmm

Look, that ant is carrying a big load

It could live on that for months

It’s a worker ant

The queen decides how much it gets

Really nice to be the queen

Had enough?

Let’s hand out the rest of the leaflets

Okay

You must hand them all out next time

If not, no pay

Don’t fail again

Come tomorrow

We kill ourselves for 80 yuan!

Won’t even buy a bottle of suncream

I’ll come, Wang, we’ll both come

We’ll be there

Just what I was saying …

That‘s from another clinical trial company

Let’s go together

We get 80 yuan a day for the leaflets

That’s only 2000 for a whole month!

What’s the point?

Come with me

Please sort banknotes and insert them in the slot

No more than 100 notes at one time

Hey beauty, want a song?

Work harder

Follow Hao’s example

Want a song, beauty?

No thanks

Boss, three beers

Sis...

Haven’t seen you for two days! Your skin’s darker

I did odd jobs at the site where my husband works

Looks like your mascara has come off

Oh really?

I was just thinking about you

Then you should have called me

I was about to do that

How are you feeling this week?

Quite well

Why?

If you're okay...

… there’s a clinical trial tonight

Want to come?

Yesterday, we …

Yesterday, we had a good sleep! So we’re in good shape

We can do it

Are you full? Finished eating?

Finished

Then let’s go

All right

Li Qian...

It’s on me

Okay

Focus on the money, come on

Waiter, the bill

Let’s go

Hey, Xinmin

Yaoting

Yaoting

Come on

Xinmin

“My search for a welcoming window goes on”

“When you've lost you way, the light still shines”

You give Yaonan a call, would you?

She doesn't want to go to school

She wants to go to work with friends in Shenzhen

Would you talk to her?

Yes, we received your package

What about you?

Take care of yourself!

Don’t save money on food

If you dislike the factory food

You eat somewhere else

Spend money on new clothes

Your father and I are fine

Is that Yaoting?

Yes

Your dad is coming, hang on

I want to talk to her

Okay, no hurry

Be careful

Yaoting

Don't overwork

Take care of yourself

Don’t save on food

Come back if you want

Back for some rest

Hi Yang, What are you doing?

I’m coming

Stop calling

You talk to your Ma

Okay, I’m coming

Hurry up

How about a wealthy Hong Kong tycoon?

Hong Kong

Hmm

Still reading it?

No problem, take your time

There’s no rush, we’ll wait for you

It’s not the first time

Yaoting, just sign it

What part of Hong Kong?

How should I know?

Kowloon Mountain

Sort out these contracts later

I'll take them to the observation room

Okay

Villa area?

Come to the observation room

You should've told me...

Wake Sis up

Sis...

Get up, it’s cold, don’t sleep there

Xinmin, wait!

You’re up, Sis

Any clothes need washing?

Hand them over, I’ll do them with mine

None

You should catch up on sleep

There won’t be time when we resume work

Sis...

Your... your money

I lend it to Li Qian

She’s getting her nose done while she’s laid off

But no-one’s seen her for a couple of days

Where’s did she got?

I tried calling her but her phone’s off

How’s the deposit coming along?

I’m working on it

Ask me if you need help

Thanks, Sis

I don’t have much myself …

… but I’m happy to help

Our equipment is all packed

Ready for...

… shipment to India

Hope there are no delays or accidents

When they arrive …

… I’ll send our tech guys …

… to reassemble them

I hope that …

… our factory in India …

… will go very well

Hello?

Okay, take care

Hello

Speaking

Handle it all with care

Yes, LI Qian is my friend

It’s all my fault

If I hadn’t lent her the money...

… it wouldn’t have happened

Ah

Our standard procedure for nose-tips …

… is to use cartilage from the outer ear

That’s the safest way

But she was worried how her ear would look

So she insisted we use rib cartilage …

… to replace the silica gel in her nose

She was told this would be dangerous

We advised against it

But she insisted

So

When we were accessing the rib cartilage …

… her lung was punctured

We are truly sorry

We didn’t want this outcome

This is … our compensation

Her possessions

Ah, and …

… her signed consent form

That’s everything

This is her? Are you sure?

Ah

Maybe you haven’t seen her for a while

She’s had a lot of plastic surgery

So she doesn’t look much like …

… the photo on her ID card

But I can assure you …

… this is her

What’s so funny?

Stop it!

You were laughing

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop fighting!

Stop it! Stop!

Stop, would you?

Sorry

Sorry, it’s our fault

Stop fighting

Sorry

Stop fighting

Sorry

I'm at fault

Don’t be so angry

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

What do you want if you quit school?

Hi

Yaoting...

We got facepacks and BB cream in Korea

They’re for you

Thank you

I want to join tonight’s drug trial

No way

This is for you

I’ve never asked for your help before

This isn’t much …

You did a trial a few days ago

Still in your waiting period

You can’t do it today

I know tonight’s a high-paying one

Help me this once

I urgently need money

Just this once

Nobady will know if you don’t say

Also...

You'll also get more money

… for one more person on the trial

But there are risks

Here, I’ll give you this jade pendant

I’ve worn it for years, it is jade

Here you are

Thank you

Okay, thanks

I'll treat you to dinner

Just this once, never again

thanks

Desert Ship: I haven't heard from you for days

Desert Ship: What are you up to?

Misty Landscape: Factory is closed, need money for down payment

Misty Landscape: My friend found me a job: clinical trial participant

Desert Ship: It's risky, You’d better not join

Misty Landscape: Didn't you promise to find me a job?

Desert Ship: It's not right for you

Desert Ship: Shall we meet sometime later?

Desert Ship: you are so attractive to me

Desert Ship: while we never meet...

You should go, you’re not needed here

Why not？

I signed the contract and took the drug

I haven’t had the blood-test, why should I go?

No test, just leave now

Listen, it’s best for you leave now

Because I didn’t pay you enough?

In that case...

… I'll pay you half of my trial fees

Here you are

Stop it, leave!

Leave!

You’ve had a liver transplant

Looking at your data …

You have severe liver fibrillation

Your liver isn’t working properly

You might need another transplant

You need to be in hospital

You need proper medical care

And liver-function boosts

After that …

...we’ll think about follow-up treatments

“My search for a welcoming window goes on”

“When I lose my way, the light still shines”

Yaoting...

“Without thinking …”

Stop drinking!

“… anywhere can be my home town”

“When I’m sad, I stare into the far distance”

My husband’s on the night shift

I can’t handle her

So I called you

“Once I tried to hide”

“Your unspoken promise stays in my heart”

“So often, my tears well up”

Li Qian’s death was not your fault

“That window …”

It was an accident

“The reason I must be strong …”

“A tiny door still opens …”

Did they fire her?

“… and her tenderness”

Hey, it was just a job

You lose it? Find another one

“Keep me warm me, stay with me”

Come on...

Hey, stop drinking

“My search for a welcoming window goes on”

“When I lose my way, the light still shines”

“Unaware, I took a foregin place for a home”

“When I am sad …”

Stop drinking

“… I stare into the far distance”

“My native language ...”

“... is what I've lost forever”

Why?

Stop drinking!

You’re crazy!

What do you care if I drink?

‘Desert Ship’ is me

Forget it

Why?

I'm broke, I spent it all on the apartment

I’ll be fine with some rest

You can buy the apartment later

But you can’t buy back your life

Your body is wreak

This is part of my fault

I did it all willingly

Nobody else’s fault

Are you paying?

Paying?

Are you paying?

Yes

Please sign your name

Bother Wang, I need some money

I spent it all on an apartment. Ask someone else

Boss, can I borrow some money, I got a problem

Doctor...

We have the results

Your liver and hers don’t match

Her situation has stabilized …

… but you need to find a liver donor soon

She needs the transplant

This would be best

Thanks, doctor

You're welcome

Hello?

Xinmin, I’m short of money

Call me if there’s a trial

Thank you

Eat something … I got you a lunchbox

I lie down here everyday

Like a dying pig

I wish I could go out to eat at the food stall

Take it slowly

Buddy!

Coming

Sing that song

From where it peaks

Don’t sing today

Eat with us instead

Sit down

Thanks

What do you like?

Order whatever you want

I’ll go for …

… stir-fried pork liver

Don’t they say “You are what you eat”?

We all have our own fate

Nobady can help it

Waiter!

Can we order?

Sis, you're not well

Hmm

Buddy …

You’ve always been kind to me

Today you get a song for free

“Give me the courage to believe again”

“I hug you despite your lies”

Okay, okay, stop singing

Eat something

I think I’d better leave hospital

There’s no point in staying there

And it cost me everyday

Your pork liver

Let’s eat

I'm hungry

Eat

Hey, Xinmin

Sister …

Been away for a few days?

I tried calling you

The season’s rent is about due

Come on, Sister...

I’ve rented the room for years

Have I ever been late?

Don’t worry

You’ll have it in a day or two

Okay, don’t forget

Girlfriend?

This is my landlady

So pretty

Have a rest on the bed

The bed sheets are fresh

Stay here for a while

I’ll go to my friend’s place

You didn’t smoke the cigarettes I gave you

I don’t always smoke

You’re thinking …

… of doing business?

I used to want …

… to make a bit of money

Or set up my own business

Yaoting...

In fact is...

I don’t want you to try that drug trial

But...

I know

But...

...I'd like to try it

My health has always been poor

Eight years ago …

… I had a transplant of part of dad’s liver

The money they saved for an apartment …

… was all spent on the surgery

Take your jade pendant back

I gave it to you

My dad got it for me at a temple

He said the horse design was me

I was born in the Year of the Horse

Is this you?

You and your dad?

Yes

Your dad’s in Shenzhen?

He’s passed away

In fact, I'm not from here either

I’m from Gansu too

My dad...

… couldn’t find a wife in his village

Back then …

Many village men …

… bought mail-order brides …

… if they couldn’t find one locally

But many of those wives ran away after the marriage

My ma was my dad’s …

… mail-order bride

When I was four...

… my ma suddenly left

Dad heard she’d gone to Shenzhen

So he brought me here …

… and found work while he looked for her

They were building the park back then

So Dad made a living

After that …

… we rented an apartment

When he passed away...

...I bought him...

… a grave in the cemetery

I used the money he saved …

… to buy a grave

So in a way …

… my dad became a Shenzhen local

Hello?

Okay

I’ll be there

I must go out to deal with something

Take a good rest

If you get bored, look out the view

Have a rest

Won’t you need a safety harness?

I have talked with the foreman

You’re a short-term laborer …

… but you’ll get full wages

They’ll pay you by the day

You can start this afternoon

Thank you, Hong

Go and get ready

How did you find me？

I asked Hong

The way is Hong Kong

Have you seen snow falls before?

When I was very little

Don’t quite remember

I love places with a distinct winter

In winter, people can rest

There’s no winter here, people keep working

My parents always tell me...

… there’s heavy snow every winter in Gansu

I’ve never seen snow

“One is called Wood”

“One is called Horsetail”

“One is called Wood”

“One is called Horsetail”

“One is called Wood”

“One is called Horsetail”

“One is called Wood”

“One is called Horsetail”

“The far-off land is a picture of death amid wild flowers”

“The moon hangs over the grassland like a mirror”

“Shining on a thousand years of history”

“My guitar sobs”

“My tears run dry”

“I cross the grassland on the horse”

The water's okay now

Take the pills

Eat something

I'll do the noodle
