Chang Yuwei.

Which bed is Chang Yuwei?

Nurse, which bed is Chang Yuwei?

Seventeen.

Mr. Chang, please don't panic.

You and your wife were in an accident

and sent to our hospital.

There's a bit of a complication.

Since your wife is pregnant,

if both their chances of survival is equal,

you need to decide who we save first.

My wife.

Save my wife.

Save my wife.

Don't touch him!

Or he can't go to paradise.

I'm sorry.

Sis, you must be tired, go get some rest.

Maybe just a quick nap.

Are you hungry? I can go buy something.

Ting.

Leave it.

(Wedding Invitation)

The truck in front suddenly stopped.

Then the car crashed.

I should have steered the other way.

She always sits in front.

Why your wife...

It was the truck's fault.

My wife and child are dead.

What else is there to ask?!

Did you keep a safe distance?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll sue him.

I'll sue the truck driver.

I'll sue him.

Unfortunately, the truck driver is dead.

Anything to add?

What's his name?

Lin Yun-Chu.

OK, I'll print out your statement.

We'll be finished shortly.

You think I was haggling that old lady?

Even after a typhoon,

her prices were crazy.

They're all like that.

Taking advantage.

Sir.

Ma'am.

Would you like to stay for lunch?

We're just here for the things.

Don't trouble yourself.

We're going to take my brother back to Kao-Hsiung.

We're leaving soon.

It's all here.

This is what you prepared?

What's wrong?

How are they going to put a sweater on him?

Don't you have a shirt?

I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.

Where are his clothes?

Yuwei is back.

Uncle. Come, sit down.

Sister-in-law, sit here.

Everyone's waiting, what kept you?

Some errands.

It's fine...

Yuwei, we were just discussing.

We need to set a funeral date,

or all the places will be booked.

We all respect your decisions.

But Wen's mother,

she prefers a Buddhist service.

These other religions we don't understand.

Buddhist rituals, the 49 day service,

prayers, it's better for her.

Dad, like I told you,

Christian churches are the same.

We have memorial services, Jesus...

So we'll go with Buddhism?

But Wen is a Christian,

I think she would want a Christian ceremony.

Besides, their marriage was in a church.

In-laws, what do you think?

What I mean is...

She never listens to me, always so stubborn.

Don't touch the piano!

Amitabha.

(Buddhist Chant)

Keep this card and bring it back every time.

OK.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

(49 Days Prayer Card)

How long have you been waiting?

Not long.

You keep coming, who's taking care of your daughter?

Don't worry.

Hao and his mother are home.

I brought a whole TV series,

and a bunch of snacks.

Let's watch it all tonight.

I heard it's very popular,

and super addictive.

You don't have to keep me company.

But today is the first seven.

Jen-Yo's spirit will come back tonight.

If so, he'll go see his parents.

Who says, he'll come back here.

I'll be alright by myself.

This is for you.

Spread it on your doorstep.

If Jen-Yo comes back,

I heard there will be footprints the next day.

Honey, I'm home. Daddy.

Hello, it's Lin Yun-Chu...

Fuck you, Lin Yun-Chu!

Leave a message after the beep.

Hello?

Yun-Chu?

Yun-Chu, is that you?

Are you OK there?

Mother misses you so much.

Don't worry.

Mother will take care of things here.

You have to follow Mercy Goddess.

Follow Her faithfully.

Yun-Chu, don't cry, mom can't bare it.

I'll take care of myself.

Don't worry.

I'm here for my lessons.

Ms. Chen's not here.

Ms. Chen's not here, don't you understand!

Don't come back.

The train is approaching Kao-Hsiung.

(Lee Jen-Yo Temporary Memorial Tablet)

Li-Hua, I didn't hear the phone.

Li-Hua...

If you're worried about me, I'm fine.

But if you think it's good for Wen,

then just come.

See you then.

Kneel.

Kowtow.

Second kowtow.

Third kowtow.

Please stand.

End of ceremony.

Now the family gives thanks.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee, with the whole family.

Please take your places.

The Lee family...

would like to thank everyone

for the love and support during this time.

Now I welcome everyone here,

if you can please stand

and face the family, accept the family's...

Watch it!

Miss, are you OK?

Have we trials and temptations.

Is there trouble anywhere.

We should never be discouraged.

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Though our flesh will parish,

we believe Wen's soul

is with You in Heaven.

Dear Lord.

We ask that You look after Yuwei...

Travelling around the world, it's really...

Are you two close?

Yeah, she is the church pianist...

Almond flavor...

If you need anything, let me know.

I'll send you some info.

OK, thanks.

Are you alright?

I guess.

We are all heartbroken

by Wen's passing.

Our prayers are with you,

but you need to exert yourself...

You can start from chapter three.

People share their feelings

of when they lose someone...

She was so young and kindhearted.

I know how you feel.

I recently lost my dog.

Now, thinking about him still makes me cry.

You OK?

Get some tissue.

Are you OK?

Don't be sad.

It's alright.

He's with our heavenly father now.

That's right, no more pain.

When are you going back to work?

Did the company tell you?

The New Zealand tour you planned

is a hit.

I recently heard something fun.

I think it would be great in the tour.

There's this job in New Zealand.

I think it's a job...

Anyway, there's this guy.

After a rainy day,

he patrols the prairie in a helicopter,

looking for fallen sheep.

Because after the rain,

their fur is soaked, and becomes too heavy.

They fall and can't get up.

So he finds these sheep,

stands them up one by one,

and shakes them to get the water out.

Isn't that interesting?

I should get going.

Need to call a taxi?

I feel like walking.

I'll walk with you.

It's a bit far.

Far is good.

Those sheep,

what if they are never found?

I don't know.

Maybe after the water evaporates,

they can still get up on their own.

Don't know how long that takes?

Hope for a sunny day.

Dear Lord.

Thank You for gathering us here,

in memory of our dear friend Wen.

In You there is no death, no sorrow.

Thank You for giving us

such a wonderful girl.

Is this a joke!

Where is God! Where is Jesus!

Can Wen hear?!

Tell me!

Tell me!

Sir, your daughter is here.

Ming, you came to see me.

Thank you, it's been awhile.

It's been awhile.

How are you?

Fine, the same...

Your boyfriend, what's his name...

He didn't come?

You mean Jen-Yo?

He's busy today.

We...

We were in an accident last month.

Jen-Yo is gone.

We were going to get married.

If not for the accident,

we would be in our new home,

ready for our Okinawa honeymoon.

And...

Jen-Yo was going to open a small diner.

We would manage it together.

Ming, you came to see me.

Thank you, it's been awhile.

Morning, did I wake you?

Here.

Sleep well?

What's wrong?

This is not what I want.

But what do you want?

Thank you.

What will it be?

Two, thank you.

Who were you chanting for?

My wife.

And you? My fiancee.

They say,

the rituals are to help the departed pass to the next world.

But it's more like reminding us,

they are really gone.

Giving us a time limit to let go.

Never thought of that.

I feel that way.

What are your plans now?

Stop looking.

(Bamboo shoot and asparagus recipe)

(Funeral notice)

(Japanese) It's much prettier in the summer.

First time to Okinawa?

(Okinawa love "to eat" honeymoon)

Your pork chop soba noodle.

Here you go.

Hello.

Thank you.

You are?

Mr. Lee? Yes.

I'm the husband of your daughter's piano teacher.

I called your wife earlier.

I'm here to return tuition.

Thanks.

Anything else?

No.

The tuition for the missed lessons,

I'm supposed to return it.

Hong, go play the song Ms. Chen taught you.

For Mr. Chang. No.

Come on.

Eat the fruit later.

Hurry up.

Stop reading, hurry up.

Be a good boy.

I don't know how.

Hong, come on.

You practice regularly.

I hope his learning wasn't held up.

Did he continue his lessons?

Yes, we found a new teacher.

But Hong says

he likes Ms. Chen better.

Okinawa cuisine trip...

I walk slow.

You go ahead.

(Chinese) I'm sorry.

I'm really slow.

When my husband and I used to walk these steps,

my husband...

He never waits for me, always walking ahead.

I just climb slowly.

Everyone has their own pace.

Besides, no matter where we climb,

he'll always be there waiting for me.

Gives me a candy and says "here, eat this".

I'm not a child.

Here, candy for you.

Don't tell anyone.

I'm not supposed to have sweets.

Goodbye.

Here you go.

Thank you.

(Beautiful honeymoon complete. Jen-Yo loves Ming)

Didn't really think you'd go alone.

Must have been tough.

It's OK.

Flower for me?

Wonderful.

I should have gone with you.

Taking care of the kid all day,

I'm so tired.

For me? Thank you.

OK, go and play.

Ah yes.

Can I leave a spare key with you?

Don't want to get locked out.

Sure.

Hope it's not too much trouble.

What's with the politeness?

Yes, Lin Shin-Ming.

Yes, the Clear Lake building.

I was wondering,

if we were to sell the house...

No, no problem.

We just don't need it anymore.

(Happy marriage)

These are your brother's clothes.

Won't be needing them, thought I bring it to you.

Thanks.

I'm gonna go, you take care.

You're not coming in?

Let me take the clothes out.

You can take the suitcase.

Coffee or tea?

It's OK, don't trouble yourself.

No trouble, sit, please.

Here.

Thank you.

I saw this set missing some volumes,

thought it should be here.

I guessed right.

But I don't know how that got in the bag.

Have you seen that one?

So funny.

This boy gets up to go to the bathroom,

and poops out a rabbit.

Soon the whole school is playing with rabbits,

but they are all his dump.

Then came alligators and turtles.

Funniest part is,

no one would believe him.

You read it before?

I lent this to him.

Don't you think this kind of humor

is not his style?

My brother's like that,

upright and gentle.

Even the comics he used to read.

They are either heartwarming

or super inspirational.

I used to make fun of him.

He became a chef

by reading too many "Sota's Sushi".

I'm sorry.

I'm saying it like you don't know him.

It's fine.

I'll take out the clothes.

You can take the suitcase.

Let's eat.

Ming.

Wake up.

Ming.

I think you guys will like this one.

Ms. Lin, you're here.

Excuse me. It's OK.

The owner is just cleaning up.

Can we still take a look?

Yes, yes.

Excuse me, Ms. Lin.

Can we take a look inside?

Yes.

Thank you.

Let's start from the bedrooms.

The master bedroom is here.

(Life Insurance, Bank deposit book, ID card)

(For Lin Shin-Ming)

(Dear Ming, I am Jen-Yo's grade school teacher...)

Kao-Hsiung

I'm here to return tuition.

The money you paid to Ms. Chen,

the uncompleted lessons,

I'm here to return the fee.

Have you heard?

Yes, I've heard.

Can I come in?

I'm home alone.

That last piece you played, what was it?

Chopin.

Chopin?

Yes, Chopin's etude.

Ms. Chen chose that piece for my exam.

But the new teacher said,

I won't be ready in time for the test.

Told me to change it.

But I still like that one better.

Hello.

Hello, I'm Lin Shin-Ming.

I'm Jen-Yo's...

So glad you came.

I wanted to contact you earlier,

but I didn't have your number.

So I followed the address on your wedding invitation,

but you weren't home.

Sorry for the trouble.

No, no, I was passing through.

I was so happy when I received the invitation.

After all these years,

Jen-Yo still remembered his grade school teacher.

What was he like as a student?

He was short for his age.

The girls would pick on him.

I was worried he wouldn't grow.

Did he become a big handsome fella?

Really?

I think he was shy because he was short.

But when it came to his interests,

he wouldn't stop talking.

Really?

He's pretty unique.

Does he still draw?

Sometimes.

He used to draw a lot.

Drawing comics for the other kids.

Once I caught him

passing around a naked drawing.

Good kid...

Ah, yes.

I was going to give this to you last time.

(For Ms. Lu)

When Jen-Yo was in eighth grade,

I lost a daughter

of his same age.

One day in front of the office,

I saw Jen-Yo walking out,

very bashful.

Then I saw that card

on my desk.

(To everything there is a season)

(Sincerely Jen-Yo)

Thank you.

And then he shit out a rabbit!

It's so retarded.

That's disgusting.

What are you playing?

I'm choosing a piece for my student's exam.

Come, give me a hug.

Go brush your teeth.

Stop it.

Stop playing, it tickles.

They are all happily playing with the shit rabbit.

It's insanely funny.

That's so dumb.

I'll show you the comic.

I want a hug.

Stop moving around.

I don't wanna do the invitation cards.

Time to get up.

(Chen Hsiao-Wen Memorial Tablet)

Your hand hasn't recovered?

Should be soon.

Don't know when.

Don't know.
