Some people say, this world is ugly

yet, it is beautiful at the same time

I don't know if they are right

But

I'm about to see the world with fresh eyes

"The EYE"

Wong Kar Mun I'm giving you a local anesthetic now

The operation will take about 2 hours

Are you ready?

Who's that?

Quiet! We don't want to alarm the nurses

I am in the bed next to yours

I heard that you just had an eye operation

I've had many operations here

I know the whole hospital. They are all nice to me

How old are you?

Why so many operations?

I'm 11. I should have been in junior high by now

but my mother says I have a brain tumor

which affects my nerves

That's why I pass out all the time

They have to remove it

But it's so large and dangerous

they have to operate many times

So I skipped school last year and stayed here ever since

You're so young, yet so brave!

Once you can see again

I'll take you out to play

The world is really beautiful.

Wong Kar Mun when I remove the bandages from your eyes

it might hurt a little at first

If it hurts too much, let me know

We can always do it tomorrow

Now, let's try.

Open your eyes slowly

Hey, don't force yourself if it hurts

It hurts!

Is it too painful?

Dr Lo, she must be in a lot of pain!

She hasn't cried out in pain ever since she was a kid!

Grandma, let Dr Lo do his job

Please don't worry about it.

Very few patients experience immediate success

It takes time...

...for the eye and brain to work together

Come on

Ying Ying

Ying Ying

Hi, can you see now?

I'm Ying Ying

Can you really see me?

I think I can see. I'm not sure

Great! You can see!

Nurse, she can see!

Nurse

her eyes are working!

She sees me! Come quick

Grandma!

The hospital called!

What?

Mun can see!

Really?

Let's go to the hospital now

Are you going to discharge me now?

Not so soon

Every cornea recipient starts off near-sighted������

by as much as 1,000 degrees

Only when your eye muscles are able to adapt

will this falls to about 200 degrees

When will she have perfect eyesight then?

No one has perfect eyesight,

most people are near-sighted by about 100 degrees

Does that mean...

...she will need to wear glasses?

That won't be necessary

All she needs for the moment is a pair of sunglasses.

Mun, get some rest

If everything goes well, you can be released early

You can take off your sunglasses now

Try to get used to the light gradually

If you feel pain

or if your eyes start watering

then you should close your eyes

and let your eyes rest

Here, I'll help you onto bed

Nurse

Is there a mirror in every washroom?

I'll take you there

Here

Slowly

Take your time and call me if you need anything

Who's that?

Ying Ying, is that you?

Why are you so quiet?

I'm having another operation tomorrow

You promised to take me out once I can see

You promised to take me out...

...once I can see

We'll go out and have fun...

...after your operation

Did they say you can leave the hospital already?

Not yet!

But even if I do, I can always drop by for a visit

Let's take a picture together.

Let's do it outside! Alright

Let's go... But where?

Let's go that way!

What's this?

A camera

Camera?

Now, look this way

Ok

Ready...1, 2, 3!

Madam, are you alright?

Hello...

I'm freezing...

Send this one to Block C

We have a ful house in Block B

Nurse...

did the old lady pass away?

Yes, we've taken her away

But last night...

I saw someone drop by to visit her

They even went out together

Are you sure?

We don't allow any visitors here at night

Where's Ying Ying?

She went for an operation this morning

Dr. Lo preferred that

you stay for two more days...

but because I'll be away on flight duty for two weeks

No one will be able to pick you up then

It was easier to have you discharged now.

This way you and grandma can spend more time together.

you and grandma can spend more time together

My...it's already 3 p.m.!

Hope this place is easy to find...

...hope we won't be too late

We're only 10 minutes late for our appointment

We're only 10 minutes late for our appointment

I have to leave for work soon

I'm sorry. Dr Lo just stepped out for a few minutes

I'm sorry

Dr. Lo just stepped out for a few minutes

Ok

There he is

Is my 3 o'clock here?

Yes, they are

Mun, let's go

Let me introduce you to the nature of my work.

From now on

I am Ms Wong Kar Mun's psychotherapist

Since Ms Wong lost her sight at the age of two

Her visual vocabulary

is extremely limited

and she has probably forgotten most of that

Lets' say

Ms Wong, could you please remove your glasses?

and let your eyes get used to the light

Can you tell me what's in my hand?

You'll recognize that it's a stapler...

...once you touch it

because all your previous knowledge of objects

were based on touch, not on sight

Now you are no longer blind

My job is

help you re-establish

how to use your eyes

and understand what you see

Actually, I'm not too worried about that aspect

What concerns me is your psychological state

After regaining sight������

many patients end up feeling alienated and fearful

Dr. Lo

Is the other Dr Lo a relative of yours?

You mean Dr C.T.Lo?

Yes, he's my uncle

So...what time do you finish work today?

Ms Wong is my last patient for the day

Well...you see, I need to catch my flight

Can I trouble you to send Mun home after this?

I see, of course

AnyAfter all, starting from today������

I need to take Ms Wong outdoors for her training anyway.

OK

You can go ahead

I'm fine by myself

I'm used to it

That's you as a little girl

Your father filmed this a long time ago������

so that you could see it if your eyes ever healed

He stopped filming after he divorced your mother

That was 7 or 8 years ago

Grandma������

Is it true when Dad comes back

he'll take us to Vancouver?

I know you don't want to go,

but life in Vancouver moves at a slower pace

It will be better for you

I can't even read Chinese how will I learn English?

Grandma

I don't want to rely on others forever

I want to learn to write

and find a job in Hong Kong

I want to be independent

Your father would worry about you going to work.

I have to do the dishes I'll leave you to watch this alone

Can I help you?

Have you seen my report card?

No

Do your live around here?

Mun, who's that?

It's a little boy, Grandma

Did a report card ever turn up on our balcony?

That kid is teasing you

Just ignore him

Kid, what are you eating?

I'm very hungry

What's your problem?

Everyone we have two pieces of good news today

First������

Ms. Tone Deaf had a successful operation!

And second, for our Christmas charity concert������

We'll be performing with Vanessa Mae!

Mr. Cheng why haven't I received the practice schedule?

Mun, you know, after all...

we're an organization for the blind

You're always welcome to come to practice������

but perhaps you should do something else for the performance

such as coordination

or taking care of our members

I can even arrange for you

to help out at the centre

Mr. Cheng

I really want to take part in this performance

I've practiced so long

was just because of this concert!

I understand, but...

Excuse me, Mr. Cheng

Vanessa Mae's agent

wants us to fax over her schedule

I'll be with you right away.

Mun, Mun?

Let's finish our discussion again. I have to go.

Let's finish our discussion again. I have to go

Grandma!

Are you leaving?

Yes, to class

Come back early for dinner

I've prepared some special turnip soup

Bye!

Have you seen my report card?

Didn't you find it yet?

I really haven't seen it

Perhaps you should ask someone else

Ying Ying!

Excuse me, I'd like to talk to her

Look what I've brought for you?

Sis, I've just had chemo-therapy,

I'll throw up if I eat

It's OK

Then we'll save it for when you get better.

If only we had believed him just that once

or given him a chance to explain

he might still be here playing video games

Who would have expected him to jump off just like that?

Suicide is a dreadful sin

The souls of those who commit suicide������

are obliged to repeat their painful deaths everyda

To help him break out of this vicious cycle of pai

we need to tackle the cause of his suicide

Only then can his soul leave this world in peace

Have you ever considered

he might be telling the truth?

Perhaps he really did lose his report card.

Have you been teaching calligraphy long?

Yes, many years indeed

I'll teach you how to hold the brush

I'll teach you how to hold the brush

Use your big thumb and middle finger

and form a circle just like this

Like this, try

Very few want to learn calligraphy nowadays

I used to teach 3 lessons a week

Now, it's down to only one

I'll let you try writing by yourself

Try it yourself

Why are you sitting in my chair?

Why are you sitting in my chair?!

What is this? What is going on?

What are you looking for? Are you okay?

What happened?

Are you feeling unwell?

Is Dr. Lo here?

Ms. Wong, you are early

Your next appointment isn't until Friday

He won't be back from his meeting until 5 p.m.

Will he definitely be here at 5 p.m.?

If it's urgent

I can page him for you now

I'll be back at 5

You can see them, too?

They don't usually want to be seen

But you'll get used to it

All the stores nearby have been bought up

only my boss refuses to sell

He seems to be expecting his wife and child to visit

Actually, he can't see them at all

...there was a car accident over there...

Mun!

My secretary said you were asking for me

What's the matter?

Will you help me?

Of course I will

Your eyes hurt?

Will you believe me?

Yes...

What is it?

The shadows������they come to bring the dead

What shadow?

When I was at the hospital...

I saw a man

He...he took an old lady with him

The next morning, the old lady was dead...

My room keeps changing suddenly into a different room...

I even saw a person missing her lower body...

When he rushed over, it was like an electric shock

my whole body went numb...

Calm down

And tell me slowly

When I was little...

Granny told me...

I was not an ordinary child.

God had given me some obstacles������

so that I would grow up to be an extraordinary person

Now I understand

what it means to be extraordinary

An extraordinary person

can see things others can't������

and feel pain that others won't feel

Maybe, I was never meant to see this world

I don't want to terrified in bed every night������

I don't want to terrified in bed every night������

then awaken horrors every morning

I just want to be an ordinary person

Dr. Lo, can you help me?

Yes, of course I will

One of my psychology professors...

from the States������

has just come to Hong Kong to visit

Let's meet him tomorrow

He might be able to help

How can you help me when you don't believe me?

What's going on?

Excuse me, I have to go

Call me if you need anything

Goodbye

Who's that?

A friend

He asked your sister to take something to States

Yes, that's right

You are home early

Aren't you supposed to be back next week?

Well...

a co-worker switched her shift with mine.

So I come back a bit earlier

It's smoky here

Why don't you go up?

14th floor, unit-C

Have you seen my report card?

Stop asking me?! I've already told you I haven't seen it!

Have you seen my report card?

15th floor, unit-C

Uncle, listen to me...

No way!

Only you can help us with this!

I've already said no!

If you still respect me as your uncle

and respect yourself as my nephew

you should have never approached me with this!

First of all

You should know only too well...

what medical ethics are regarding organ transplant

And you should also know that...

the identity of the cornea donor

is concealed from me

What shadow?

One cornea transplant and she starts seeing ghosts

You actually believe that?

What if I do?

Then we have even less to talk about!

Uncle...

Don't tell me you fell for your own patient

Hello?

Dr. Lo, is that you?

Mun is in trouble!

Can you come over immediately?

Yes, right away

Yes, I admit

she's more than a patient to me

Mun!

How long do you plan on hiding in this little room

Five years? Seven? Or ten?

You have to confront your problem sooner or later

You want to play violin? Go play with the troupe!

I can accept you pretending to be blind

But even then

then you didn't isolate yourself here

I just want to help

Mun!

Sis.

Ying Ying, what are you doing here?

I can leave the hospital now

You can?

Yes, I don't need any more operations

I can go to school now

So...

hen once I am out of here

we can go out...

we can take pictures, we can even...

I'm so happy that you can see now,

because this world is really beautiful

Ying Ying...

It's alright! Cheer up.

Be strong and things will work out for the best

I have to go now

Ying Ying!

Wong Kar Mun, I want to tell you������

Ying Ying has already...

I know... I just saw her

I know she's dead

What are you looking at?

Ying Ying

Can you see her?

It wasn't her

Don't know why she didn't show up today

Are you not afraid anymore?

I don't think I have a choice

I see all these things anyway.

At least, I get to see the people I care about

What's this?

Ying Ying made this for you

What's written on it?

Don't forget me

She put in the wrong photo though

Who's this?

It's you!

Don't you recognize yourself yet?

What is going on?

Who are you?

Who the hell are you?!

We believe that the very last consciousness of a mortal

carries over to the afterlife

That is the very thought of a person in his final moment..

would become the eternal consciousness of his soul

Those who die a sudden death

have no recollection of the instance of death

Their souls remain in this world as if they're still alive

But there are others who intentionally refuse to leave

mostly due to unresolved problems during their lifetime

These souls can't be consoled while their problems remain

There is only one way to help them,

and that is to resolve what they left unsettled.

The woman whom Ms Wong keeps seeing after resuming her sight.

We have to resolve her problems so that she can move on

I hope I haven't done anything wrong

Even if it's wrong, it'd be my fault

And I won't regret it

Were you reincarnated into the wrong body?

Why are you so different from...

...the rest of the family?

Be careful

Bangkok, Thailand

Dr. Lo believed you in the end?

Let's just say Dr Lo is not involved

He's a professional after all

you know what I mean?

Yes

Are we close?

I'm not sure

It says here that her Chinese name was Chiu Wai Ling

A Thai born Chinese

Here are her hospital records

This is Siam-Rach Hospital

Sl-AM-LA?

This is probably the place

Let's get off to take a look

Hi

This is Siam-Rach Hospital?

Yes. Right

I want to meet a doctor, his name is Eak

Please come help

Can I help you?

I want to meet a doctor

his name is Eak

You know him?

No

It's there a Doctor name Eak here?

It mentioned here

It's this hospital, his name is Eak

He's not here now

Not here?

Wah!

Wah!

What is it?

This is the place

What place?

The place I've been having nightmaes about

Nightmares?

This has to be it!

Doctor Eak!

What's the matter?

You have two visitors.

Mister, this is Dr Eak

You're Dr. Eak

Yes

My name is Wah

Hello Nice to meet you

It's her

After the Cornea operation

We come over here

To thank the donator's family

Hope you can give us some detail

Here is the file

Are you two from Hong Kong?

You speak Mandarin?

Can you help us?

Sorry

Sorry, I can't disclose our hospital records

This is our hospital policy

Please understand

Wait!

We need to see the donor's family urgently

Could you perhaps ask them

if they are willing to meet us?

Her family will not be willing to meet with you

Who are you to Ling?

Please leave

Wait!

After I got Ling's corneas

I started to see things that she saw!

Ling was a sad and lonely girl

All of the villagers stayed away from her

Why?

From time to time

she would weep outside someone's door

Afterwards

a person in that house would pass away

So everyone took her to be a witch������

and always chased her away when they saw she

The children treated her like a monster

even I threw stones at her when I was a kid...

Because none of you could believe that she foresaw death?

Maybe it was because of fear.

So, do you believe it now?

This is it

Mrs. Chui, these two friends are from Hong Kong

Nobody welcomed Ling

so she hardly ever set foot in the village

Yet, on the night of the fire

many saw her running around

shouting hysterically������

as if talking to herself

Since everyone detested Ling

no one paid any attention to her

Some villagers threw water on her

to drive her away

Around midnight, a big fire erupted

and kept burning till noon the next day

Among the deceased 300 were burnt beyond recognition

How exactly did Ling die?

She hanged herself

Ling killed herself the day after the big fire

Is Mrs. Chui alright?

She's fine

So you too believed that she wasn't insane,

but that she only saw things no one else could

She foresaw a big disaster

and tried to warn everyone

but no one listened to her

I don't understand any of this spiritual stuff

I just want you two to know that

Ling was a very kind person...

and she had a tough life

Can I take a look at Ling's room?

Tonight...

...I want to stay here

I'll take you to Ling's grave tomorrow morning

You've been very kind to us, thank you

You should go to bed now

Alright, I'll stay next door

Shout if anything happens

I know you've wanted me to come here all this time

Well, here I am now

What do you want to tell me?

...ill-fated...ill-fated...

Hurry...take her to the hospital!

Get lost������

You should be ashamed of yourself������

You are a curse!

Told you not to come here!

She's evil! Don't ever play with her!

Go save him! Save my boy...

Help him... Make him breathe������

What have you done to my boy...

You little bitch! Go to hell������

She's evil!

Stay away from my house! Get lost!

Be reasonable!

My daughter is only trying to help...

Go away!

Mrs. Chui, I know how to help Ling

Iet's go upstairs to see her

Her most painful time was not in the past

it's right now!

Since she killed herself,

she's been trapped in a time warp������ constantly repeating her suicide

She was dead

How can someone who's dead die again?

Listen to me

very soon she'll appear upstairs

Let's go up to see her!

I won't see her!

I spent my whole life protecting her

I never once gave up on her,

but she gave up on herself!

For that I can never forgive her!

Just listen,

I'm sure you hear this sound every night

Ling died at 3'o clock, didn't she?

Mrs. Chui, come with me and you'll understand!

I'm not going upstairs!

Mom...

Help me...

Help me...

Ling?

Help me...

Help me!

Help me...help me...

Is it Ling?

Is it really Ling?

Mom...

Help me...

Ling, you were the one who left me...

you were the one who left me...

Mom...

Help me...

Mom...

Ling, Mommy is coming!

Ling! Ling!

My girl, mommy's right here

Don't be afraid

No one can bully you anymore

Mom, I'm so sorry

I was wrong

Please forgive me!

I've already forgiven you

Mun!

What happened?

Are you alright?

Go that way! Move over...

Hurry! Pull him out!

Careful! Come on keep pulling...

Over there! Move!

Get out!

Get out!

Something's happening, get out, quick!

Granny, leave your house now!

Leave your house now!

Brother, run for your life!

Get out! Quick! Run!

Get out! Run...

Run! Run for your life!

Run! Run for your life!

Run! A disaster is coming!

Run! Run now!

What's she saying?

Run! Get out!

Mun!

Go, go, go...Move over...

Go, go, go...Move over...

...Listen to me...

Mun...

Ever since that day, Ling never appears again

I hold no resentment towards her������

Since I saw and experienced the same pain that she did.

But aside from pain

I saw beauty

I no longer question why am I blind

It is becasue

I've already seen the most beautiful things in this world

Things I'll never forget
