BaoDing

Uh

If a person had a wish

he would say the prayer to God.

Yup.

If God granted his wish,

he would believe God truly has superior powers

and the temple will be worshipped.

Indeed.

If God didn’t answer the prayers,

he would put all the blame on the temple.

Wouldn’t you say?

Would he ask for God’s blessings

or demand God’s will?

Let me ask you this,

who is God?

God

Come into me.

If I am unworthy,

forgive me

and let me

see him again.

Sandwich, have you seen YaoHua Chen?

He’s not back yet.

Let him know. I’m looking for him.

Oh, ok.

Hauzi, is my order ready?

Come here.

YaoHua Chen.

Hurry.

Follow me to the rooftop.

Up? What for?

Your dad is walking around with a machete.

That’s nothing. He does this all the time at home.

What do you think he’s doing? He’s sightseeing.

It’ll be fine.

What’re you talking about?

Hurry! Take him down from the rooftop!

Hurry up! Get off! Let’s just go.

Take it easy. He’ll come down when he’s ready.

But his machete...

If he really has God-given gifts,

he could ask for anything.

Then we don’t have to work anymore.

How can you say that about him? Come up with me.

What’s up?

Hurry up! I meant it!

Youn

I’ve worn this since I was a kid.

And you broke it. This’ll bring bad luck.

I tell you.

If your dad fell off from the roof,

it’s not only your bad luck.

It’s shit on the entire market.

Hush

Dammit. Why’s no one here?

Told you he would go back when he’s done.

Oh.

That’s strange, no one is here.

Goddamn.

Why are you up so high?

Get down from there, it’s dangerous!

Pa, Stand still.

Looking good, let me take a picture of you.

Don’t mess around, would you?

BaoDing Chen, get down here.

Get down here. Did you hear me?

YounHuei Liu

It’s dangerous!

YounHuei Liu

BaoDing

God

It’s dangerous!

Get down! BaoDing, Come!

YounHuei Liu, KangMing Yu, AnJian Chang, BaoDing Chen

YaoHua Chen, Come over and help.

How come there’re only three here?

Eat the dumplings while it’s still hot

It’s going to get cold soon

Would you like me to close the windows?

No, don’t close it.

How did you know that I like

dumplings with cucumbers filling?

You and AnJian taught me.

Did you forget?

KangMing,

you’re beautiful.

How’s that possible? I’m so old now.

You aren’t KangMing Yu?

I thought you were someone else.

pa

Hello

Are you Ms. KangMing Yu? Pa’s friend?

Are you BaoDing Chen’s son?

Un-huh.

Have you known each other for long?

I didn’t want to tell you at first.

You’re doing worse than I thought..

If it weren’t for your father’s popularity,

he may have already died at home during Covid.

Do you know?

Wait a moment

Is that you in the photo?

Time is all wrong.

Your dad doesn’t remember who I am,

whether I’m his friend or not.

Is it important?

Do you believe time travel real?

Don’t you think

your biggest problem

Is hanging out with gays like us

That’s why you don’t have a boyfriend.

This guy

Are you saying that he didn’t change a bit after thirty years?

Are you sure he’s the same person?

Or is he just a look-like?

Huei something.

YounHuei Liu.

You didn’t answer me.

I am asking you again.

Do you believe time travel is real?

-I don’t. -I don’t neither.

See we don’t believe.

But I did see someone who looked identical.

the first ten years

I believe

Un

It must have been real.

For the next ten years,

I would say

Why I spend so long

Believing something so ridiculous.

But for the last ten years

You know

I really did see him.

Thank you

I got to go.

But there is more

OK

Welcome to the scene of “The Time of Huan Nan” podcast.

My name is JerSheng Chang.

What should we reminisce about?

Year of 1991

The hit topic in HuanNan was Time Travel.

Don’t close the window.

AnJian can’t get in.

What, AnJian?

Do you have dementia or something?

Or do you only remember the people in the photo?

Who are you? How dare you?

I’m your son. YaoHua Chen.

You are not.

If I’m not,

then who am I?

Who do you think I am? Who am I?

I don’t care.

Get out of here.

-Are you done? -Get out here!

I get tired from just looking after you. Do I not have to work?

Do I not have anything else to do?

This is my house! Get out!

You are BaoDing Chen’s son.

You toss everything everywhere.

Then I have to clean everyday.

Because of the box-office hit “Back to the Future” in Ximending.

YounHuei Liu It gave the imagination of time travel.

In the year of 1991

time-travel did happen.

A Boeing 747

disappeared in the Bermuda triangle

Did you know that

Wanhua district has the shape of a triangle?

In Wanhua,

there’re many shrines and temples that are just a few steps away from each other.

Combine all the Gods’ mighty power,

it makes it possible for time travel.

Did you know that

our Huan Nan Market

has two Land God temples from the beginning to the end of an alley?

So people are saying that the roof of Huan Nan Market

fits perfectly into the tip of the triangle.

Who knows? We’re right here today.

We can travel through time to the future or past.

Short circuits.

YounHuei Liu.

YounHuei Liu.

Did you know that our Huan Nan Market

has two Land God temples from the beginning to the end of an alley?

fits perfectly into the tip of the triangle .

Who knows? We’re right here today.

We can travel through time to the future or past.

YounHuei Liu.

YounHuei Liu.

YounHuei Liu.

Are you…

YounHuei Liu.

You must be YounHuei Liu.

Are you...

KangMing Yu.

How do you know my name?

BaoDing Chen must mentioned it.

No wonder you’re agile and nimble, you’re an army solider.

It’s your school. Why didn’t you go through the front door?

Wait a second. Don’t come.

You’re wearing your uniform… aren’t you worried about being caught by military police?

Why would I worry about them?

No wonder Chen mentioned you a lot.

Are you the type of person that doesn’t care about other people’s opinions?

What do you mean?

I’m asking you… where’s BaoDing?

Are you a bad influence to BaoDing?

What do you mean?

Badly influenced by me?

You’re the bad influence to BaoDing. That’s why he’s gone missing.

Tell me where he is.

Why did you change to that?

Isn’t it obvious?

Wait.

Are you sure BaoDing hasn’t been with you these few days?

He’s with me everyday.

Hurry up, we’re about to be late.

Bye, YounHuei Liu.

Remember to tell BaoDing that if he doesn’t answer my phone

I’ll go to his house to find him.

Got it?

Where’re you going?

I’m going to watch AnJian’s game.

I’m going, too.

Lady Yu, there you are.

Give me twenty packs of winter melon tea.

Okay, right away.

You have a new boyfriend today. How about your ex…

Thank you, boss.

BaoDing Chen, where’ve you been?

AnJian and I couldn’t find you.

Pa

This is the so called YounHuei Liu!

Who’s that?

Don’t you and Anjian talk about him all the time?

You like her.

Nonsense.

I’ll just delivering wintermelon here.

What happened to you?

You’ve been acting weird these couple weeks.

I’m not.

Cucumber again?

I ate it.

We’re good now.

Wait.

Aren’t we the butcher?

Why are you delivering winter melon?

You’re not making any sense.

Fine, want some?

He looks like a free-loader.

Why not?

A cucumber a day keeps the peace.

A cucumber a day keeps the peace.

You have the same catchphrase as him.

Eat it, we’re good now.

Got to go.

Don’t you know that Anjian has practice today?

Nope.

I’ll go if he doesn’t.

Lady Yu, your winter melon teas are ready.

Thank you.

Come with me.

Why?

What’s up?

Who are you?

I know you’re not YounHuei Liu

Why’re you wearing his shirt?

YounHuei Liu.

I’m warning you.

If you dare to do something to KangMing Yu and AnJian Chang,

you’ll be dead meat.

BaoDing Chen,

I didn’t want to tell you first.

Are you letting me carry the heavy stuff

Hurry up and help me out

Are these the Blackshirt Union?

AnJian Chang, go get them!

Pass the ball! Pass the ball!

Does she like you or AnJian?

What’s up?

I know you don’t care about the military police.

But you’re showing off too much

Take your shirt off.

Take it off.

Wait,

Time out! Pass me the ball.

YounHuei Liu.

So you’re YounHuei Liu

So when I was away,

you two were together.

What’re you talking about?

You have that charm.

People will fall for you.

Are you insane? He’s a loner.

Who’s a loner?

New boyfriend?

Nonsense, you idiot.

AnJian,

Should we play a game with him?

What do you mean?

I’m saying the Upperclassmen likes you

Don’t mess around, I didn’t say that.

Sorry.

If I win, you have to go out with me.

In your dreams

This is high school romance.

Are you treating her as a person or a prize?

From Huan Nan?

You too?

I’m not from there.

My mom said

they really know bath business.

Did your mom sleep with a Huan Nan guy?

It’s nothing, I got to go.

Trying to run away, fag?

What did you say?

Fight me, bastard.

Do you know how to play rugby?

You taught me before.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Upperclassmen, Bring it on!

Do you know how to play?

Two teams.

Why didn’t you answer me these last two weeks?

Let me serve.

Because of YounHuei Liu?

No.

Pass the ball.

Ball!

Pa

BaoDing

What did you just call me?

Pa

Don’t mess around with me.

Ball! Ball! Ball!

Huddle up!

Why are you doing here?

KangMing Yu ask me to come.

How about you?

Why are you here again?

KangMing is here, so I’ll come,

Huan Nan gang.

Do you seriously want to win?

How about this? You win the game by just making one goal.

All right?

Do you want to lose to these upperclassmen?!

NO!

Come get your tea.

Who’s the asshole now?

Shut up.

Are you deaf?

Fuck you.

Fuck your mom!

Who’s the fag now?

It’s you.

Upperclassman,

don’t go too far.

You’re all the same.

What the fuck are you talking about ?

What the fuck are you talking about ?

BaoDing

BaoDing

Wait

Stop fighting!

Behave yourself!

I’ll stop for you.

Do it for yourself.

Ah Fuck

What’s up?

kinny people are just different.

What’s so different?

Let me ask you…

you’ve been in the military

So you’ve seen a lot dicks.

Have you tried everything?

What are you talking about?

Go take a bath now.

Let’s take it together.

How come all these people

seem afraid of BaoDing?

You too

Don’t worry about it.

What are you afraid of?

I was just about to ask you

Have you taken BaoDing to somewhere?

to a brothel?

Why me?

Because he acts awkward around you.

Seriously,

Is BaoDing a gangster?

Go take a bath.

Why does he have so many scars?

Since you are stripped off, come to take a bath.

Come. Sit here.

Did you hit your head?

Nope

If you get a cut,

don’t put water on it or else it will get infected.

OK

BaoDing’s scars

are symbols from God.

God? What do you mean

Didn’t you know that

BaoDing is the most accurate at revealing winning lottery numbers in Wan Hua.

JiTong

-Ok. -Are you really a JiTong?

What’re you doing?

Taking a bath.

How are you going to get clean by washing like that?

How would you do it then?

Come over here

How do I do it?

Give me the soap.

Let me show you.

BaoDing, Come over

-What’s up? -Be my demonstration.

Stop it.

You have to wash like this so you won’t smell

How stinky can I be? I’m not a pig.

We’re butchers. But I’m very fragrant.

Look

You’re so gross.

Don’t Look

Turn around

Wash the back.

Here’s how to do it.

Both arms up

All right, don’t keep staring.

He knows how to bathe.

Stop messing around.

What’s wrong with demonstrating?

Go take a bath.

Wash the butt!

It fits you perfectly.

Lower your voices, we’re in a temple.

Have you taken a bath yet?

Where did you get so much clothes?

You even have shoes.

I got them from my family’s department store.

It’s just around the corner.

Your family’s department store?

Did you pay for the bath too?

How much do I owe you?

Why do you keep bringing up money?

I didn’t want to tell you at first.

How do you guys shower slower than girls?

That’s why I hurried out.

I didn’t want you to wait too long.

They’re both still in the bath.

I already wait for them a lot,

so it doesn’t matter

So you always wait for them?

That’s weird.

They said you’re an army deserter.

Can a deserter have such long hair?

You just believe whatever you hear.

I came back from abroad to look for my dad.

Have you found him?

Not yet.

Bro Huei

you also have one.

-What’s up? -We’re all dressed the same.

-Have you had enough fuss? Are you done? -You are really slow.

Why are we meeting here?

Look

Youn. I got it.

Give it to me.

Come over.

Bao, it’s yours.

An, it’s mine.

We are “ BaoAnn” team!

You idiot.

Dummy.

Yeah

Now we have YounHuei Liu.

So, we are

Yuan (forever), Bao (keep), An (Peace), Kang (Healthy).

Wait a sec.

Don’t you want to join us?

If they keep messing around

It’ll cause problems.

We will only “keep peace and health forever” if you join us.

All right, count me in.

That’s right! With you, we will keep in peace and health forever.

I don’t agree with that.

“Youn Boo An Kong” sounds weak.

Since the Huan Nan name will become popular,

I feel like

we should be called “The Four Brothers of Huan Nan”!

Damn it.

She’s a girl.

…and the Miss.

What do you mean?

You…

you know that too?

What do you mean?

Let me tell you,

we are bound by an oath now.

From now on, No one can disappear again.

Check it out!

This is my new camera.

Let’s take a picture.

Let me take it.

I’m the best at taking pictures.

Perfect spot!

Come.

Come along.

Are you sure?

Hurry up,

I have a curfew.

Switching poses.

okay

Wait a second.

Is that the last film?

But YounHuei Liu isn’t in any. What should we do?

Let me go get more film.

Nah, let’s not make a fuss.

Let’s worship first.

You haven’t found your dad yet, right?

Where will you stay?

-No idea. -You can come stay at our temple.

Come to my house.

Okay

I’m coming too.

What for?

For “face painting”.

Aren’t you going to teach me how to face paint?

You always do fun things without me.

What’s “face painting”?

Don’t you have curfew?

Go home now.

Call me when you get home..

Are you mad?

Don’t be mad.

Have a seat.

Has YounHuei Liu been to your house before?

Don’t bother about him.

Take off your clothes.

Take it all off?

Yes or else the paint will mess up your clothes.

phone rings

Hello?

phone rings

It’s King Ming.

Get it for me.

Oh

Hello? Is it BaoDing?

No.

Excuse me, I am Kangming Yu. May I know who you are.

This is YounHuei Liu

Is AnJian still there?

Yes, he is.

See you later then.

You sleep here later

Okay.

Don’t look around.

Look at me.

Kangming Yu is coming.

There’s a taboo in “face painting”.

Girls can’t be involved.

So what do we do?

Let her wait in the alley.

Don’t come in.

If BaoDing’s father finds out,

we’ll get spanked

Take “ Miss NaiNai” to the Riverside.

Wait.

Which way goes to alley?

It’s where you came from.

YounHuei Liu, tell me.

Why do they exclude me?

I know they’re just having fun

and not doing it for a formal ceremony.

No one excludes you.

They must just see me as a spoiled girl.

Yeah.

Who on earth will pay for a guy’s bath?

I didn’t want to tell you the first.

Are you saying that I spend money to buy friends?

You definitely do it from your heart.

Come.

I do buy friends, though.

You take care others

It’s not a issue to spend money to care for someone

And you care for friends

it’s normal.

They won’t like me if I don’t have money, right?

You define relationships by money?

YounHuei Liu,

I didn’t want to tell you the first.

You are so blunt.

You actually know everything.

You just pretend not say it.

You think it’s the best for everyone.

You always say “I didn’t want to tell you the first”.

What do you really want to say?

I don’t know.

I have a question for you.

Do you like one of them?

Have a guess.

Not Anjian Chang.

You don’t have feelings for him

because you are not selfish around him

You would act selfish if you liked someone.

But it’s not BaoDing Chen either

Am I correct?

You’re different from them.

They would never talk to me like this.

Are you staying at the temple

I think you will leave someday.

I can’t tell my dad I want to go abroad.

He’ll struggle without me.

If not for the butcher shop,

I wouldn’t be able to study.

If I am going abroad,

how much longer would he have to work?

But you shouldn’t stick around here.

You painted beautifully.

That defeats the purpose.

It’s supposed to look scary

and mean

It’s suppose to scare the ghosts away.

Paint me meaner.

What then?

I don’t look scary at all.

Look like I don’t have the heart to do bad things.

What are you talking about?

My turn.

My turn! Are you sure?

Of course.

It has to be frightening enough to scare away humans if it’s going to scare ghosts.

If my dad finds out, you’re screwed.

That’s really hard.

How does this scaredy cat scare ghosts?

Damn it.

Why are you pushing so hard?

Show me your mean face then.

Show me.

I’m just being blunt.

I won’t said “I didn’t want to tell you the first”.

Why do you like photography?

Cause I like to take pictures

Do you know what the most difficult thing to capture is?

What is it?

Scents.

Scents are hard to capture.

When you’re in a good mood,

the temperature behinds your ears will increase

that’s why you wear perfume there.

It’s getting late. I need to go home.

Thanks for the jacket.

You have to pick one among us.

I’m greedy. I want all of you!

If you dare exclude me again,

you’re screwed.

Bro Huei, you take this room. The toothbrush is new.

See you in the morning, AnJian Chang

God.

Are you trying to tell me something?

I don’t get it yet.

Please don’t send me back too soon.

This is not the spot for waxing.

You don’t get it.

You’ll see later.

Come

Bro Huei,

Remember this key.

Pick it later.

Okay. Promise me one thing.

Okay.

Don’t put any bets on KangMing

and don’t spend her money.

Let me share some good news.

This is for you,

for you,

and for you.

What is it?

Gift certificates.

I got it yesterday.

If I have it, you should have it too.

What are you doing?

We won’t spend your money anymore.

It’s nothing.

Bro Huei and I have decided that

we'll take care of you from now on.

All right.

Next, I have an announcement

Okay

Here are four keys

And Then

Only two keys can start the engine.

Whoever picks that key,

can ride and take someone.

Wait a second. I don’t know how to ride a bike.

You will when you get the key.

I didn’t want to tell you the first.

But I’ll cry if I get the key.

I don’t want to play.

Why do you talk so much, never mind. Go ahead.

Okay

Excuse me.

Wow! Got it!

Pick one.

Wait, you must be cheating.

I don’t want to play this game.

I’m riding with Bro Huei.

I’m a team with Bro Huei.

You haven’t picked the key yet.

I don’t want to.

I want to be with Bro Huei too.

I took back the gift certificates.

So, I don’t care. I’m sitting between you two.

-No. -Let’s have a triple ride!

I will be at the front seat.

AnJian Chang,

You’ve been drafted.

Get over there.

What’s up?

I’ll give you a ride

Got it?

I have an announcement.

I’m going to sleep with all of you tonight.

You got to watch out!

You better watch what you say.

YounHuei Liu

YounHuei Liu

Where are you? YounHuei Liu. We’re back.

Bro Huei.

YounHuei Liu.

YounHuei Liu.

YounHuei Liu. Where are you?

Bro Huei. Don’t hide! Come out!

-Are you a punk? -Inside?

Why didn’t you go with us to Huan Han Market?

Why are you being so secretive?

Why are you getting so close to me? Do you like me?

Bro Huei likes me more.

Go away.

I want it. I’m so hungry.

What did you get?

You got too much.

Did you spend KangMing’s money again?

These are the leftovers from the market.

Fresh and delicious.

And costs nothing, right?

You got so much.

How many dishes are we making?

Making dumplings.

Making dumplings.

Wait. You thought I haven’t camped before?

No one makes dumplings when they’re camping.

What are you doing?

Damn it. It won’t satisfy her rich taste.

You’re screwed.

Let’s make dumplings.

Look, press a bit on it.

Have you seen this Flame Dumplings before?

It looks like a monster.

I made it, of course.

Do you know what’s the best way to prepare food?

Pan-fry, boil and saute.

Is it boiled?

So we boiled the dumplings?

The best way to prepare food…

it’s to eat it at the right timing.

Is it the right timing now?

Definitely.

And we’re making the dumplings now.

Like we are wrapping the four of us together forever.

It must be you, BaoDing Chen

Why did you mix cucumbers into the filling?

You finally noticed.

No wonder it tasted weird.

So weird.

Do you know cucumbers symbolic meaning?

Listen, everyone,

cucumbers.

Where does it come from?

It’s not male.

Nor female.

Cucumber is an androgyny.

Guanyin is the same.

That’s the reason I mixed cucumber in the dumplings.

It’s like God’s blessings.

Wait a second.

So, if I always hang out with you guys,

does that mean I’m an androgyny as well?

So I am Guanyin too.

You all kneel down, bow to me.

All right.

Oh, Guanyin God.

Guanyin Yu-God.

Guanyin Yu-God.

I wish that we will be together forever and ever.

Why is it “us”?

Do you mean us two or all of us?

All right.

Guanyin God.

Guanyin Yu-God.

I am praying that all four of us will be together forever and ever.

Good

Is it ok?

You, yourself is Guanyin.

Who do you worship?

You should worship yourself.

None of your business.

Let’s eat dumplings.

Have you promised?

Isle of Capri.

Do you know why I enjoy eating with them?

It’s because it always reminds me of when I was little.

Whenever my father took me to restaurants,

he’d always said that

the food didn’t taste as good as his hometown in China.

It made me think that

every meal we ate

wasn’t the best.

But whenever I am eating with these guys,

the food tastes good

and delicious.

I don’t know where are you?

When would I return to the Isle of Capri?

Back to Capri to see you again.

Did your head get hit?

Nope

Those scars on BaoDing's back…

they are God’s attributes.

God? What does that mean?

Don’t you know?

BaoDing is the most accurate at revealing winning lottery numbers in Wan Hua.

JiTong

BaoBao Chen. Learned this before, Ever and Forever.

I have something to confess.

But I don’t think you’re ready for it.

Are you going to say something gross?

Give me your hand.

Ring two times.

Hang up.

Call again.

Okay.

I’ll know it’s you.

Why do I have a feeling that you will leave soon?

I can stay with you.

I don’t know what you’re worrying about.

I’m not afraid of burdens.

If you like, I can stay

I didn’t mean that you stay overnight at my house.

No worries.

If you would like me to stay.

I’ll stay with you.

Unless you mean something else.

I can stay with BaoDing.

We’ll see each other tomorrow anyway.

Sorry.

I don’t know what I am talking about.

See you tomorrow.

Ring two times.

Hang up.

Then call again.

Bye.

Hey

I just thought of it

If something is bothering you,

let’s have BaoDing ask God for ustomorrow, all right?

Sheng Jiao (Poe Divination)

Sounds good.

The second time.

Sheng Jiao (Poe Divination)

You two,

this is a god’s home, not a love hotel.

Are you falling in love?

Are you ok?

Shame on you! What the fuck?

Shameless!

They grew up together, so it’s natural they have a good relationship.

I don't care

I need to clarify things when we are home tonight.

Mr. Dong is waiting for dinner with us.

Pa

You’re here.

What’s this?

What the fuck?

Let me ask you.

Why did AnJain Change write you bunch of nonsense?

Why can’t he?

He can’t.

I said he can’t.

Why not?

-Because he can’t. -That’s enough.

-No. -Enough.

Don’t hit him any more.

Don’t. Don’t hit him!

Don’t hit him!Shameless thing.

Fine

You’ve got some guts.

If you’re going to hit him, hit me as well.

Why don’t you hit both of us to death?

For good.

Go ahead, hit me!

hit me!

Fine, I’ll hit you to death!

Have you thought about your mom?

Messing around with these gay things.

How can your mom face everyone in Huan Nan Market?

Guanyin is neither male nor female.

What are you talking about?

Say that again?

For what you have done, You dare to say such things.

How could you do this to God?

Kneel down.

Kneel.

Kneel.

scum

Don’t hit him.

You don’t hit him.

He is my son.

Don’t hit him.

Hi Auntie and Uncle.

Lady Yu

It’s me. BaoDing loves me.

I don’t want to pretend anymore.

You’re right.

I like AnJian Chang.

He treats me well.

Why can’t I like him?

It’s unacceptable.

God does not accept this.

You have to accept this I will beat you until you change your mind.

God hasn’t said anything.

How dare you…

Lady Yu.

Sorry, this such an embarrassment.

I, MingChing Chen am sorry for what happened.

I will visit your family for an apology on another day.

Right now,

Please go home first.

Thank you

Go open the red door.

Open the red door.

Open the red door.

Lady Yu.

Please. I am begging you.

I’d cut you some slack if Lady Yu was here.

I’m going to his house now.

You’ll see how I beat him to death.

You can’t go.

If you go, I will kill myself right now.

Let me out.

BaoDing Chen?

Are you ok?

BaoDing Chen?

Pa, don’t be so mad.

Open the door.

Pa, don’t get lock inside of your head.

Do you have a problem?

Who’s your Pa?

You are my pa.

I am you son thirty years later.

Fuck.

I have told you before I came from the future.

Why don’t you believe me?

Fine.

You are saying I am your pa.

God says I am his representative.

My father called me neither male nor female.

I am only into guys, how is this possible?

Okay.

I am not your son.

I am YounHuei Liu.

I am going to rescue you now.

Can you just leave me alone?

I know you are not YounHuei Liu.

I knew it all along.

Do you want the know the truth?

YounHuei Liu.

I knew him too well.

Too well.

I could’t even say a word about how he fucked me.

Are you happy now?

Go tell AnJian Chang.

Tell him to leave.

Hurry up.

I see.

Okay.

Wait for me.

Hi Auntie LiChu.

Hi Uncle Ching.

AnJian,

serve some tea.

Okay.

Need not.

I’ll go back to my room.

Your son, AnJian is

such a high achiever.

He will definitely go far in the future.

But it’s a different story for BaoDing.

He doesn’t study.

He has bad grades.

He doesn’t have any achievements.

If he gets into trouble,

his whole life…

will be doomed.

What’s going on?

AnJian.

Is it true?

BaoDing’s father said you wrote love letters to BaoDing?

No.

We’re just good friends.

Penpals.

This is Garfield. You learned English from cartoons.

This is a misunderstanding.

It’s not.

BaoDing confirmed it with me

He said…

He said..

He likes him

He said...

I can’t even say it aloud.

AnJian Chang.

Tell me the truth.

These letters were for KangMong Yu and written by me and BaoDing.

Those three are always together.

Both of them like Lady Yu.

Well, of course.

Well, you all have heard that.

Don’t make a fuss at my house.

AnJain Chang,

go back to your room.

Hurry.

AnJian is my son.

Let’s take care of our own business.

Go home. There’s nothing more that needs to be said.

Gee, What a coincidence!

No matter who sent it.

if you were just good friends,

how can they write something like this?

If they wrote something like this,

why can’t I just ask?

Let’s go home.

Go home.

Come down here.

Here?

Go climb down from that window.

Why do you know my house so well?

Don’t ask so many questions.

BaoDing Chen is still locked in the room.

Go get him.

Where is he?

In the red room. Hurry up.

What happened?

Are you ok?

KangMing got me out

I’m fine. Are you OK?

Don’t waste time here

or you’ll be caught.

What now?

Run Away

Where do we go?

I know a place.

Such heavy rain.

Oh my god.

Here’s a shelter from the rain.

We found a Magic Cave.

You are all wet! Let me dry up for you.

Dry yourself.

It’s too cold.

Bro Huei, come over.

Come, come, come!

Come over.

Rock, Papper, scissor and shoot

Papper

You’re an idiot

Paper! Paper! Paper!

I have searched everywhere in Ximending and Riverside Park,

I still can’t find him.

Do you know where they are?

I’m always busy.

I don’t have time for this.

This is for Mr. Dong, give it to him.

If I still can’t find him,

I will call the police.

What for?

It’s Huan Nan business.

Huan Nan people will take care of it.

Do you know anything?

I know my son.

If he keeps staying here,

he will not be happy.

My son, he never belonged to me.

You all said he is God’s spokesperson.

He belongs to God.

But who cares for his scars?

Do you know that

he's at least happy when he’s with AnJian?

I don’t care what others think.

I only want my son to be happy.

You smoke?

I finally don’t need to hide.

Why didn’t you tell us earlier?

This is our first cigarette.

Let me open the door.

It’s spacious.

Thankfully, you have this get-away house.

No one will come, right?

My parents are visiting China.

They won’t be back for a while.

Let me carry you.

Come.

Let’s go.

Are you ok?

I want to rest a bit.

Want some rest?

This is not right. They don’t look good.

Let’s take them to a hospital.

No.

Why Not?

The hospital will call the family

and BaoDing will be locked in.

What should we do now?

Go get a Taxi.

And take KangMing home now.

So you don’t see me as a friend now?

I’m going to the pharmacy.

Conger cold medication is in the cabinet.

Go get it.

Which cabinet?

Only two capsuls left.

Come.

BaoDing,

Take a pill first.

I’m heading out now.

Wait.

Pharmacy

Dad

I thought that you’re not coming back this time.

Dad

Why don’t I come back?

I have school and practice.

Take these.

You need money out there.

Miss Yu is used to a pampered life.

Take pork tenders with you.

I’m not with them.

I took over your grandpa’s butcher shop before I finished high school.

Your mom can’t stand the smell.

Can’t stay here anymore.

It’s my fate.

But it doesn’t have to be yours.

You have an easy going personality.

But if you want to please everyone. You’ll end up pleasing no one.

You are not me.

AnJian Chang,

you have to make up your mind.

Be a man.

You need to make up your mind.

Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Ching-kuo

BaoDing

Uh

If a person had a wish

he would say the prayer to God.

Yup.

If God granted his wish,

he would believe God truly has superior powers

and the temple will be worshipped.

Indeed.

If God didn’t answer the prayers,

he would put all the blame on the temple.

Wouldn’t you say?

Would he ask for God’s blessings

or demand God’s will?

Sorry

For what?

I’m sorry.

For the wound here.

And here.

Also here.

I don’t care about bodily harm,

As long as you keep your hand

on me

here

and here.

Even death

is worth it.

Let me take you away.

All right?

So tasty!

I’m so scared all of the sudden.

Thanks.

Dump all in here.

Wait

Idiot.

You are such a idiot.

They’re all on the table.

-There are for you. -Eat more.

These are for you.

These are all for you.

Whenever we have dumplings,

everyone has to come.

Not one person can be gone.

Do you have a cigarette?

A cigarette?

Give me.

All right, here you go.

ould you cry if I didn’t give you the cigarette?

What are you listening to?

It’s April 21st, 1991

I haven’t seen you for two weeks.

I didn’t go the field to watch your game today.

What you don’t know is that

I need to listen to your voice every night

or I can’t fall sleep.

but you don’t know

I secrectly recoreded your voices.

He is so talented.

He should be a singer.

He came to my home listening to music one time

and he said

he doesn’t have music to listen at home.

Then I thought that

I can give him a pack of J-pop

so that he can listen to it when he’s at home

But I didn’t know that he’d erase the whole tape.

He didn’t listen to any of the songs.

Do you know that

I have no idea

what he wants?

I thought that since I have money,

I can help everyone.

But in the end, I’m the most useless one here.

I can’t help you, and

i don’t have neither.

I can’t help BaoDing either.

I can’t help anyone.

You can’t stay here long.

KangMing Yu…

Foreign workers will postpone their schedule this May,

due to the epidemic situations.

With the easement of the epidemic situations….

CDC finalizes the decision of Labor department proposal

It reopens the application for foreign labor.

It only opens to December 14th at the first stage

beginning on December 15th.

Bye

Love your outfit today!

-Thank you. -The event was awesome today.

Thanks,

Let’s do it again sometime

Be careful on the way home.

Bye

YaoHua Chen

I’m YounHuei Liu.

Are you saying that you’re YounHuei Liu?

Should I be happy?

Right?

Can you tell me?

Where have you been for the past thirty years?

Never mind

It’s not important anymore.

It’s too late.

I know what you’re worried about.

If it’s the age gap,

I don’t care.

The summer you disappeared

changed our fates.

AnJian Chang…

He was supposed to take over the bucher shop and live comfortably.

BaoDing Chen, maybe…

maybe he would inherit the temple.

you decide your own future.

or get married and be happy.

You know in your heart that

you decide your own future.

I may have gone missing that summer.

Maybe I didn’t do anything right.

But at least, the person sitting beside you now

I am real.

Why don’t you think about your dad?

He has been waiting for someone for his entire life.

Isn’t it painful?

Who can he complain to?

Does he have happiness?

He forgot everything.

This is what you wanted to say.

You’re waiting.

You kept waiting.

Isn’t it painful?

Have you ever waited for someone?

At your age,

in this generation,

have you been willing to wait for someone?

You’re right.

In my goddamn life,

I have to live in the moment

I have to live in the moment

But I get it now.

I have never truly loved someone.

But I’m in love now.

I dream about our future.

Is it not true?

Don’t you ever dream about our future?

Don’t you know that AnJian is dead?

How?

Did you forget?

We stayed at the house near the ocean

When we both got in the room,

BaoDing and AnJian were not there.

So we went searching for them.

Anjain found a drowning boy.

He jumped in.

And never came back.

No way.

I don’t need it anymore.

Keep it.

Take good care of your dad.

I will prove it to you.

From that moment,

let’s start again.

I don’t care for the You will find “The Four Brothers of Huan Nan”.

I will find them for you.

Because it’s our promise to you.

Why are you soaking wet?

Help me.

Can you help me?

Pa

If I were AnJian Cheng

He must bathe this way

That AnJian Chang sounds awesome.

Turn around

be careful

Raise hands

If I like boy

I would like AnJian Chang

AnJian Chang

Wash off

Close eyes

Put your head back.

I am done

Wait, it’s not done yet.

Last time you told me about time-traveling.

I thought about it.

If he managed to go to the past,

to change the past.

And become part of your group.

If this time,

He goes back to save AnJian Chang.

No, not to save anyone.

But to escape from all of you.

If BaoDing didn’t get married and never had a child,

would YounHuei Liu even exist?

I don’t understand the time travel.

So this afternoon

He said he would go back to save AnJian Chang through Time Travel

Does that mean...

The met with him this afternoon

will it be after the thirty years waiting

the last time you meet

KangMing Yu

Hurry up!

It’s almost too late. KangMing Yu.

KangMing Yu

Why did you go to AnJian Chang’s game?

YounHuei Liu

I am asking you.

Why?

Pa

I love you.

YaoHua Chen.

You’re my son, YaoHua Chen.

I’ll find AnJian Chang and give him back to you.

Kang

The top of Huan Nan

is the perfect spot to watch Taipei sunset.

There’s no need to look down

or up

All you need to do

it look straight to the Taipei City.

I’ll prove it to you.

From this moment

let’s start again.

in a split second,

You feel like the entire city is by your side.

You will find “The Four Brothers of Huan Nan” for you.

Because it’s our promise to you.

Right here,

No one care who you are.

Excuse me, where’s YaoHua Chen?

On the rooftop.

No one will care about your social status.

I promise you.

I will stand by you.

YaoHua Chen!

YaoHua Chen, don’t go!

YaoHua Chen!

Do you hear me? You can’t go.

YaoHua Chen, don’t go!

YaoHua Chen!

YaoHua Chen!.

Yao Hua

YaoHua Chen!

Do’t leave !

Don’t leave!

YaoHua Chen, Don’t go!

I went back to the house but didn’t see you there.

I thought you left.

Where are AnJian and BaoDing?

In the house.

What’s wrong?

I want to let you know.

People say one thing but mean another.

They’re all out for themselves.

But only you.

You’re out for others.

What are you talking about?

You’ll understand someday.

For right now,

just remember it.

YounHuei Liu.

Just promise me don’t disappear again.

I promise you.

Where are they?

You said they’re here.

Maybe they went out.

God, why?

You chose me.

Why did you give me this body?

No.

No.

Why not?

What’s wrong? Why don’t you leave them alone?

I’ll explain to you later, all right?

Listen to me.

We have to find them now.

Hurry, let’s split up.

You go there.

Where’s AnJian Chang.

He’s gone.

I’ve asked around..

This is a big-scale corporation.

They don’t require working experience.

We could go to the countries and live the life we want.

How about your dad’s butcher shop?

How about school?

How about your rugby team?

If I can’t be myself.

It doesn’t matter if I put on my uniform.

Or take over my dad’s butcher shop.

I’m still just pretending to be someone else.

We can’t be ourselves even if we leave.

I want to go back to face my father

to talk things out.

You’re right in front me.

And I love you.

Can’t you be yourself?

We still have family

and friends.

They’re all in Huan Nan Market.

We can’t leave like this.

Do you think that in this time

people will accept us?

I just want to love people around me.

But now,

I’m only putting them in pain.

I don’t have time now.

Get up now.

Get up.

God loves despite class and gender.

The important thing is we have to find AnJian Chang.

Pull yourself together.

YuanHuei Liu I found him.

Help! My son is drowning! Please save him!

My son is drowning!

AnJian Chang.

AnJian Chang.

Don’t you know that AnJian’s dead?

YuanHuei Liu, don’t go, you’ll die!

Let me go!

BaoDing Chen, calm down!

AnJian Chang.

BaoDing Chen, calm down!

You’ll die!

BaoDing Chen, calm down!

Don’t go! You will die!

You’ll die!

What’s going on?

Where is YuanHuei Liu?

YuanHuei Liu!

Just promise me that you won’t disappear again.

You’ll understand someday.

Right now, just remember it.

You smoke?

This is our first cigarette.

So I mixed cucumber into the dumpling filling.

It’s like God’s blessings to everyone.

Goodbye YuanHuei Liu.

Where are you going?

I’m going to AnJian’s game.

I want to go too.

Hold on tight.

Hold on.

Do you have a good hold?

Yes.

AnJian Chang.

AnJian Chang.

AnJian Chang.

Uncle Chang.

Has Anjian come back yet?

Lady Yu.

Have seat.

sit

Lady Yu

I heard your father is still in China visiting.

Yes

They probably don’t want to come back.

I’m just too busy.

I can’t find time go home.

Mainland China opened the border for the family visiting.

I finally had the opportunity

After I left home for army service at eighteen,

I mailed all of them back home.

They must have been so happy.

I really regret doing this.

After I sent all of the letters home,

I received the mail back.

They passed away, only their portraits were sent back to me.

If I didn’t have their contact then,

I would still think that they’re still alive.

I keep thinking…

Should I place Anjian’s photo

besides my parents’ portraits?

But I’m so afraid.

Once his photo is beside theirs,

does that mean he will disappear like my parents and I would never seen him again?

Uncle Chang.

No

No

No

No

No

From now on.

I am your son.

This is none of your business.

Why not?

Aren’t you and Anjian my friends?

We’re not just friends.

He loves me only.

And I only love him.

Look.

Yuan.

I know.

Give it to me.

Now let’s have YuanHuei Liu join us.

So we are

Yuan (forever), Bao (keep), An (Peace), Kang (Healthy).

Don’t you want to join us?

If they keep messing around,

it’ll cause trouble.

We’ll only be “keep peace and healthy forever” if you join us.

God bless.

I am YaoHua Chen from Huan Nan market.

I have nothing.

And I have no rights.

But I love KangMing Yu.

I love AnJian Chang.

And love my pa, BaoDing Chen.

If God can bless them,

I can have nothing

and be a nobody.

I’ll give my life to you.

If I do have a life in the future,

I will sacrifice a pig head every year as worship.

I am begging you.

I really don’t know what to do now.

I’m so grateful for everything that has happened.

It’s taught me what love is.

Sir, you dropped your mask.

I have one more.

Do you need it?

No, thank you.

Look, everyone.

Even though the epidemic has gone,

there is not a lot of people here.

But about one hundred and sixty years ago,

here was a very serious plague here.

A China immigrant,

went back to his hometown FuJian province.

He pleaded to the LingAnn God to suppress the plague.

The magical part was that

when the Sedan Chair got here,

it froze and wouldn’t move.

Many sick people heard about that and came for the cure

and they were blessed.

So people started to raise a fund to build a temple.

That’s what you see now.

Bangka Qingshan Temple.

We were both beside the springs.

Happily singing and playing,

The roses were blossoming on foothill,

Listening to the cuckoo birds’ singing,

The past was gone like a wind without a trace,

I don’t know where you are now,

When can I back to the Isle of Capri again?

Back to the Isle of Capri again to see you.

Back to the Isle of Capri again to see you.

Back to the Isle of Capri again to see you.

Here

Pa

come over.

Let me take your picture.

Right here? Will it look good?

It will.

Do you have memories here?

Look at you

I knew it had lot of your memories.

Be happy.

You look good with smiling.

People say that

when you’re unhappy, you should sing.

Can you sing?

Sing a song.

Maybe my pa

won’t know who people are anymore.

But his body won’t let him forget

who he is.

It’ll even show

who he’s loved.

Bao

Have you been here a lot?

Everyone says that Taipei 101 is the best place to see Taipei.

But I realized that here

is the best place to see Taipei’s sunsets and sunrises

because you don’t have to look down and

you don’t have to look up like you’re praying.

You can finally just look eye-to-eye at the sky

It’s like looking at his face.

Then

And then, finally

be able to see all of it clearly.

From then on you and him

can feel each other’s warmth while walking side by side.

Excuse me,

I said too much.

It makes us seem like close friends.

Are we not?

I thought today was only our

second time meet.

You like biting cucumbers, too?

You like eating cucumbers like that, too?

My pa taught me to.
