Isn't it like a tunnel?

Mom.

When Dad first came to Chongqing, he wasn't used to it, was he?

No, he wasn't. He wohuo every day.

What does "wohuo" mean?

That he complained every day.

So many bridges have been built in Chongqing.

It's much easier to cross the river now.

Many of those who built the bridges were Dad's students.

Then why are the cable cars still in use?

The tourists love it.

Now, it's purely a tourist attraction.

Back then, Dad used to go to work and come home by cable car.

But I'd never had a ride.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

Was your old house over there?

Yes. It was over there.

But you can't see it. It's blocked.

It's changed. It looks different.

It's changed so much.

You must try the cold shrimps. Come on.

You know I can't have shrimps.

The cold shrimps aren't real shrimps.

Slow down.

What's that?

Sit here.

One of the three things to cool you down in Chongqing.

10 yuan a set.

Scan the code.

It's 10 yuan.

Try it.

Three things to cool you down in Chongqing. 10 yuan a set.

- Stinky dog, I'll beat you to death! - Stop bullying it.

Whose kid is this?

- Excuse me, how much is this? - Wait.

Batong.

Time to eat.

Batong, time to eat.

Eat.

Good boy, Batong.

Batong.

[15 years ago]

Bring him home.

Your dad keeps asking.

He should mind his own business.

You tell him nothing.

Of course he's worried.

I don't wanna talk to him about it.

Go get your dad.

How much longer do you need?

Hurry up!

You stayed up all night again.

I live in the US time zone.

Dad.

Mom asked you to play mahjong for her.

Play mahjong for her?

She said so.

Do I know how to play mahjong?

She asked you to!

Go fetch the camera from upstairs.

I'm leaving for my research trip.

And the tripod too.

Got it!

Xinqiao.

Did you record the football game last night?

I forgot.

What can you remember?

Here I am.

Professor.

Professor Chen, play with us.

Let me play on her behalf.

Whose turn is it?

Mine.

Batong, do you want it?

- Yes, I do. - What?

Look.

Three sanwan. (T/N: In mahjong, tiles are used in patterns and combinations)

Four, five, six wan.

Five, six, seven wan.

Five, six, seven tiao.

Dandiao. Batong. (T/N: Winning condition where one specific tile is needed to win)

- Thank you all! - There is no winning tile.

- You broke the rules. You can't do that! - You can't do that!

- There is no winning tile! - This cannot be done? Why not?

You need to finish this set.

What did you do?

Who allowed you to touch my tiles?

Xiaozhou said you asked me to play on your behalf.

What's up?

It's been so many years,

but you still can't play mahjong.

And you call yourself a professor?

Who understands those rules of yours?

They are so complicated.

Make sure you give it to him.

Only a pack of pork jerky. It's nothing special.

Who cares about it?

Just do as I say.

And be quiet.

Come on, let's carry on.

Who says a professor must know how to play mahjong?

Let me work it out.

I'll count only small points.

I won this set!

Good morning, Professor Chen.

Good morning.

Two yuan.

Hold on to the handrail. Be careful.

- Good morning. - Hold on to the handrail.

Mr. Li.

Have all the locals moved out?

Yes.

Dean.

We nearly hit it.

What happened?

What happened?

Look, there.

A dog.

It's a dog.

Isn't he scared?

- There is a puppy. - Look.

It looks like he's not hurt.

He's not hurt.

Didn't you say all the locals have moved out?

Why is a puppy left behind?

There was a dog farm nearby.

He's in shock.

He looks so pitiful.

Maybe he's hungry.

Come here.

Good.

- I've got pork jerky. - Good.

Which brand of jerky is it?

A nice surprise from my wife.

A Surprise!

Pork jerky.

It's pork jerky.

Come out, doggy.

Oh, no! It's stuck.

We've got a problem.

It's stuck.

Come have a look.

The tire is stuck.

Too big for you.

Come on.

Come.

Mr. Li.

Where did you say the dog farm was?

Up there. Just a few steps away. It's in a huge yard.

Look, it's sunk so deep.

Professor Chen is back.

Why didn't you return him?

It's all gone. No one is there.

Do you want to return him?

Just keep him.

- Mr. Li. - Yes?

Do you know where they moved to?

No, I don't. Only God knows.

Or...

Professor Chen, you take him home.

My wife doesn't like dogs.

Dean.

Why don't you keep him?

I can't.

My wife was born in the Year of the Rooster.

She says we can't have dogs at home.

Or...

there will be chaos.

Then Professor Zhao, you keep him.

My wife has two cats.

If I bring him home, it's rebellion against her!

I don't dare.

I need to go to my office first.

Be quick!

- Good morning, Professor Chen. - Good morning.

Good morning, Professor.

Professor Chen, the meeting is about to start.

You stay here.

Listen, be good, okay?

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Behave.

Dean.

Can I speak first?

Why?

You're in a hurry?

I have some family business.

There are many professors before you.

How can I do that?

How about this?

Let's do it in alphabetic order.

A, B, C, D...

It's fair.

C...

Right.

Good, thanks.

Quiet, please. The meeting is starting.

You...

Professor Ai.

You speak first.

Thank you, sir,

for letting me speak first.

Thanks.

Many are coming to the hotpot tonight.

There are...

15 people altogether.

15 people.

Ask Professor Chen to come too.

Forget about him.

He has to report back to his wife.

Even the northerners live under their wives' thumb?

It's a universal problem for men all over the world.

- Do you understand? - Of course.

Slowly, we'll get rich.

It's the most important...

among all the tasks.

Dear colleagues, that concludes my presentation.

Thank you all.

The focus of my research is

to innovate each hydraulic engineering project within the reservoir.

I listed several main points here, along with some illustrations.

We're all experts.

I'm sure you'll understand it all.

So, I won't waste your time.

Please pass it around.

Please.

Sir, please collect it for me afterwards.

I'm off. Thanks.

Professor Chen.

Quiet, quiet.

Next... Professor Bi.

Your turn.

Okay.

Dean, sir.

Look.

Why did he draw this?

How did you get there?

You chose a good spot. It's their model.

You peed on it.

It took them three years to build that.

It would have been finished by adding water,

but you watered it first.

Naughty you!

I bet Professor Chen won't agree.

Beijing is so far away.

Associate Professor Chen.

He'll be a professor soon.

He's just...

slow and indecisive.

If he had listened to me, he would be a professor now.

I bet he won't agree to it.

He doesn't want his son to be so far away.

That's it.

- Six tong - I win!

Give me the money.

You're so lucky.

Let's call it a day.

As soon as you won?

The professor is coming home.

What should we do?

- Come. You join us. - You're against your own.

We asked you to join us.

Sit over there.

I'll play then.

Not upright.

- Then how? - Tilt it a little.

Okay.

Watch your hands.

Professor Chen.

The same? One-fifth without chilies?

Yes.

Shall I put chilies in it too?

No, don't.

It's been years. You still like it plain.

It's better to keep it plain.

Okay.

See you, Professor Chen.

Okay.

Dad is home!

- Go meet him. - Here I am.

- Dad. - You're home.

Take just this.

You're home.

It smells so good.

Have you told him?

I don't know how to tell him.

Tell him straightaway. He's not unreasonable.

Okay. Stay here.

Please, don't move.

Wait for me. I'll get you some water.

We are a family of four.

Don't just get yours.

Dad, let me.

Go get the chopsticks.

How did you get there?

Water.

I usually drink from this.

You stay here.

Okay.

Good. Stay in there.

Don't come out.

Don't come down.

Put more in.

He doesn't eat fish mint anyway.

Add vinegar too.

Dad.

Well... I've got a job.

Have you finally had enough time off?

I met a few friends in Beijing online.

They're setting up a website.

They need a front-end developer like me.

I can work from home for now.

I want to give it a try.

If it goes well, I'll go to Beijing.

The package they offer...

- What's the noise? - is really good.

Two meals are included.

Good, well done.

Our son has made us proud!

How did you get down here?

Dad.

Dad, I...

Mom!

Mom!

What did I say before we got married?

What did I say?

Dogs aren't allowed at home.

What's that?

I got bitten by a dog when I was little.

You know it well.

I even avoid dogs when walking in the street.

You brought a dog home. Gui mi ri yan!

Do you want to upset me?

What does "gui mi ri yan" mean?

Unreasonable. She said you're weird.

I ran into him on my research trip.

All the residents had left. No one was there.

He looked so pitiful. He was left alone.

He was zao nie,

and I'm not zao nie?

What does "zao nie" mean?

It means "pitiful".

Yes, you're zao nie.

You're zao nie. More zao nie than he is.

Stop pretending you can't understand the dialect!

It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid.

Send him away at once!

I'll send him away as soon as I find him a good owner.

I promise that you won't feel zao nie.

It's all your fault.

A bottle of soy sauce, please.

Do you sell dogs too?

The dog was just adopted.

I see.

A tube of toothpaste, please.

Colgate?

Colgate.

- How much? - Three yuan.

Thanks.

Let's go.

He'll bite you.

I want... I want a doggy.

No, no, he bites.

Does he bite?

Yes, he bites.

I only pet him. He didn't get hurt.

Don't be afraid.

I'll allow him to stay for a night.

Thank you.

Goddess of Mercy.

You are so annoying.

Another goal!

Xinqiao, it's 9-1.

That's right. Really.

Oh!

They scored a goal,

so now you get a reward.

Bark!

Come on.

Be good. Be quiet tonight.

Appreciate this rare opportunity.

Look at this.

Is it good?

Do you like it?

Is it good?

A puppy eating a bear cub.

My goodness! You're tearing it apart.

Play for a while and go to sleep,

because you're still growing.

You're still growing.

Here is the money.

Didn't he accept it?

How dare you ask me?

You hid it from me.

I was afraid he might turn you down.

I didn't give it to him.

Why not?

You weren't embarrassed in front of the crowd, but I was ashamed.

Why must you do it in front of the crowd?

You're such an embarrassment.

Just give it to him quietly.

Enough, don't mind my business.

Your business?

You're still an associate professor.

Those younger than you have been promoted.

- Haven't you noticed that? - Hmm.

Hmm? Is that all you can say?

You can't say anything useful.

I told you.

Shy kids don't get any sweets.

What's the purpose of working hard?

I'm getting old.

Don't ask me to do something like that.

Turn the light off.

It does no harm to go to bed early.

Did Xiaozhou tell you?

Is she bringing him home tomorrow?

It does no harm to go to bed early.

Here you are.

Do you know you're in trouble?

Luckily, I'm the one who came up.

If it was her, she would throw you out of the window.

Be good. Stay here.

You hid a tile in here.

Do you like this one?

Do you know what's called?

It's called "batong".

Are you taking a photo of the dog or me?

Don't worry.

Three, two, one, say cheese!

Okay!

Let me see.

Your camera is lacking. It falls short.

It looks so awful. Let's use my camera.

Taking photos and scanning them.

It's been days.

I know what you're up to.

Go put up the flyers on the wall.

It's just a mongrel.

Why are you doing a photo shoot?

It'll attract more people if he looks good.

If you put up more flyers, more people will see him too.

Professor Chen, look at these.

"Big reward for a son-in-law."

"Deworming solution."

Look, what are these?

Those idiots who put up these flyers...

They should put them up in their neighborhood.

"A mongrel dog."

"Three-month-old. Very lively and obedient."

Batiao.

No batiao.

Santiao.

No santiao.

No santiao either.

Why are you drawing?

Discard it already.

Where is the puppy?

I still have santiao.

Where is the puppy?

He got adopted.

Peng.

By whom?

Someone fat.

Man? Woman? Old? Young?

What does he or she do?

What's the family like? Where do they live?

I don't know.

You didn't ask any questions before giving him away?

Great!

How was I supposed to know I needed to question them?

Where did they go?

To the market.

Mister, fresh meat!

The puppy of yours... How would you like it?

Spicy dog meat.

With what?

Radish.

Salty or light?

Salty!

50 yuan.

It's too much. How about a discount?

Don't you know the price has gone up for everything?

I know.

- I'll cut this meat up first. - Okay.

Xinqiao, turn the tap on.

Let's have a bath.

Relax. Relax.

How nice it feels!

You'll be washed clean.

And look pretty.

You never had a bath, eh?

Let's wash your little paws.

Be good.

I've never seen your hubby so cheerful.

Let's have a look.

See, how pretty!

So energetic.

Now you're clean.

Look at your beautiful fur.

Right?

Yeah?

Depending on how active it is, it could erupt or evolve...

It...

happens suddenly.

Excuse me.

Someone called. A foreman.

He wants to take the dog to the construction site.

No.

Absolutely not.

Male.

Are you married?

So many questions for adopting a dog?

Yes. Can't I ask?

So strict.

Married?

Are you done? We're waiting.

We're all waiting for you.

Sit.

The gross floor area of their home is 200 sqft.

And the usable floor area?

Usable floor area...

He didn't specified.

No.

The space is too small.

Professor Chen, why didn't I see you this morning?

- I kept the morning paper for you. - Thanks.

[China beats Maldives 1-0]

Here.

Thank you, Uncle.

Where are you from?

I'm local, from Chongqing.

Which district in Chongqing?

Chengkou.

Where?

Chengkou.

It's in the east.

Chengkou near Hubei?

Broadly speaking,

it's part of Chongqing.

Yes, part of Chongqing.

It's April.

It's not very hot.

You're sweating a lot. You can't bear the heat?

Yes, I can.

He's terrified of you.

Someone is terrified of me!

What do you do for a living?

I'm unemployed for now.

His last job didn't get him anywhere, so he just quit.

Your hair...

Were you born with brown hair

or you dyed it?

I dyed it.

Young man...

I think you should treat your hair seriously,

because it directly reflects your state of mind.

Dad, I like him.

No.

Absolutely not.

You're not qualified.

No, stop.

You goddam dog!

I was winning!

He ruined the game just like that!

So annoying!

I feed him, let him stay, and he stops me from winning!

He's such an ungrateful dog.

Tell me. When will you send him away?

We haven't found a suitable owner yet.

You have to wait patiently in a mahjong game.

Let alone it's a puppy's life at stake, right?

No matter what, we should find him a reliable owner.

More than ten people call every day.

They're officials, businessmen,

and you always say they're unsuitable.

Even when you get the right tiles, there is no guarantee you'll win the game. Right?

You have a kind heart.

Surely you can't bear to hand him to someone unreliable, can you?

Chen Jingxiu, you're being very unreasonable.

I asked you to give the jerky to the dean, and you fed it to the dog.

How could you?

No wonder you're still an associate professor.

You can't tell the dean from the dog!

We're talking about the dog. Why do you mention the dean?

They aren't the same species.

Besides,

our Batong is better looking than the dean, right?

Batong?

Yes, Batong.

He likes mahjong too. I bet you'll get along well.

I tell you what.

Don't come to bed if you don't send him away tonight!

Get along well? Get along, my foot!

Don't mind my dad.

My dad is so hen-pecked.

Li Jiazhen.

You like playing mahjong.

You play it all day long.

Did you ask for my approval?

Do you need my approval?

No, you don't.

Because I've no right to ask.

Because you like it.

The young man over there.

Your fingers are glued to the keyboard.

Look at your hair.

It looks like a bird's nest.

As soon as you wake up, you sit there.

You never go out.

You're almost sucked into the computer.

Did you ask for my approval?

Do you need my approval?

No, you don't either.

Why not?

Because you like it.

And you...

The guy you like...

That guy

from Chengkou.

Did you ask for my approval?

We human beings...

we live for just a few decades.

Only when you live for things you like can you call it "life."

So, I never stop you because you like these things.

Today.

Now, I'm speaking up for myself for once.

I like this dog.

No one can stop me.

Xiaozhou, come here.

And you too.

Let me formally introduce you.

His name is Batong.

He's your younger brother.

You make me so furious!

You hide behind a dog, don't you?

[One year later] Okay, ready.

Get closer. Closer. You're family.

Ma'am, smile. It's a family photo.

One, two, three.

Another one.

Relax.

Another one. Another one.

Ma'am, smile.

One, two, three, good!

Congratulations!

Thank you, thanks.

Mind the steps.

- Please take a seat. - Congratulations!

- Thank you. - You've got such a good son-in-law.

Thank you.

- Please sit. - Off you go.

Jiazhen.

From Juixia and Guo.

We've got spicy chicken.

Pork with red bean.

Get the vegetable ready.

Ma'am, where would you like the firecrackers?

- Up there. - Okay.

Okay, thanks.

Spicy chicken.

It's hot too.

This isn't hot. Try it.

- It's not hot. - Not hot.

You know what.

In Chongqing, we love telling two lies.

The first one is that this is not hot.

And the other one?

The other one is...

that my wife always listens to me.

Chen Jingxiu!

Chen Jingxiu!

We're setting off firecrackers.

Keep him in the house.

Yes.

Batong, let's go.

Let's go inside, Batong.

Okay.

Upstairs.

Upstairs, off you go.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

Come here.

Human beings love getting busy and making noises,

so they can cope with sadness.

Isn't it?

Batong.

Look at the opposite bank.

They've built so many tall buildings.

In a few years, they'll build tall buildings on this side too.

By then, when we look over there, we won't be able to see the river.

Do you want one too?

Yes?

Good. Let's have one.

Good?

Professor Chen.

I've told you countless times.

Put your dirty clothes in the basket.

Even a cow gets it after three times.

Come, Batong.

Bring it to her.

It delivers stuff for Mom!

So obedient.

More obedient than you.

More obedient than you.

Batong.

Come, sit.

Bark.

Good boy.

Batong.

Good boy, sit.

Stay home. Guard the door.

I'll play with you when I come back.

Be good.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Let me check the ticket. Okay.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

It's my dog. I'm sorry.

Let's go. Go home.

You can't come here. Go.

You chased after Daddy.

You can't go to work with Daddy. Got it?

Look, he brought a dog in.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

You can't go in there.

Professor Chen, is that your dog?

I found him in Yunyang.

Your fellow villager!

Shut up.

You ran out of the house. What if you get hit by a car?

Go home.

Alright.

Go home.

Come here.

Come.

Give it...

to Li Jiazhen.

Don't be afraid. He won't bite.

Yes.

Easy.

- Batong. - Peng!

I'm referring to your dog, Batong.

Let me take a break.

Come here.

Put it there.

Now you're in my house,

you have to follow my rules. Got it?

Weird.

Here you are.

- Thanks. - See you soon.

Professor Chen, you're back.

Batong, my silly son.

You didn't go home?

- He got here just now. - What?

He arrived just a moment ago.

He kept staring at the station.

Let's go.

Go home.

Do you want to read the newspaper?

Do you want to read it too?

Yes?

Two pounds of chicken breast.

And?

Pumpkin, carrot and broccoli. A quarter pound each.

Chen Jingxiu.

You idiot.

What experiment are you doing?

What a mess!

You can't even cook noodles.

Now you're cooking something fancy.

Cook us dinner if you're so capable.

Mom, please help him.

That's for Batong.

I don't think he can make it.

It's taken him ages.

In his dream!

I feed you two beasts every day.

And his dog too?

It's okay for your mom to cook for people.

It's not okay for your mom to cook for a dog.

In fact, cooking for a dog is not difficult,

as long as all the ingredients are fresh.

Oh, really?

I've got the fighting spirit. No problem.

Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit!

It's time.

It smells nice.

Let's cool it down.

Okay, it's cooled.

Here.

Is it good?

It's good. Have some more.

Come on.

Why don't you want it?

Eat.

Come on, eat.

It tastes fine. It's not that bad.

Look at how reluctant you are!

I'm telling you. You have to eat it.

Professor, is the collar ready?

If you don't stop him from eating,

his tummy will get upset again. Just imagine the mess he'll make!

Mom, you scared me!

Go enjoy the sun.

You spend all day indoors. You'll go blind.

I got an email from Beijing.

- You've got the offer. - Yes.

I'm going to Beijing.

Batong.

Batong!

You have an upset tummy. Stop biting it.

Can't the collar stop you?

Stop! Stop!

Batong!

I give up.

Have what Mom cooked.

Batong.

Come on.

Our stomachs are fine. Let's take the collar off.

You love your mom's meat balls.

Traitor.

Did you lose at mahjong?

We were even.

Didn't I tell you?

The way you play the game,

you have a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

It's like flipping a coin.

The more times you throw,

the closer the ratio of head to tail gets to 50:50.

It's half and half.

If you continue playing like this, who is the winner?

Whoever lives the longest wins.

You're talking nonsense.

Xinqiao has something to tell you.

Here.

I'm starting a job.

Which company?

State-owned or private?

The friends I mentioned last year.

The web design company is set up and running.

It's in Beijing.

How does a web design company make money?

The air is so dry in Beijing.

So cold in winter.

You're not used to the food there.

Can you adjust to it?

Where will you stay?

Dad.

I'm half-Beijingese, right?

After your grandparents died,

we don't have any family in Beijing.

I've booked the train ticket for tomorrow morning.

I'm full.

Give him some advice.

When you should speak,

you remain silent.

He's bought the train ticket.

What's the point of me saying anything?

Batong, let's go.

Let's take a stroll.

Come.

So, he loves his dog more than me.

Eat.

Then finish packing.

Just do your best.

I thought you'd left when it started raining.

I'm packing up.

Can you vacuum seal it?

How much do you need?

Yes or no?

It's at my place. Do you want to come back with me?

I'll have all the rest.

Okay. I'll give you a 10% discount.

Hurry up. It's raining.

One-fifth without chilies?

No, all with chilies.

Where have you been?

I would have locked you out if you weren't coming back.

What is he doing?

He's chasing the light.

Is he a dog or a cat?

Dogs are like people.

We always head towards light.

So funny.

You're no longer young and you went out in the rain.

You'll get sick.

Come, take some pills.

The pills will make me too sleepy to see Xinqiao off tomorrow morning.

Just take them.

Good.

Your mom is treating you so well.

Now you're allowed on the bed.

Done. Go play.

- So annoying. - Off you go.

Batong.

It's eight o'clock.

Excuse me, can my dog get in?

Yes.

Get in.

Mister, it's urgent.

I can't wait. I'll get off here.

Batong, this way.

Attention, passengers.

The westbound Train T10 for Beijing will soon depart.

Passengers for this train, please board now.

All other guests, please stand behind the white security line.

Batong.

Batong!

Batong!

Batong!

[Six months later]

Batong, bring it to Li Jiazhen.

Did you forget something?

I did. I'll be right back.

Look.

What's he doing?

What's happening?

We can't keep even our dog.

She's quite pretty.

Batong takes after me.

He loves pretty girls.

You are so annoying.

Don't be tempted.

Two bowls of cold shrimps.

Do you want this too?

What's this?

It's Chinese lettuce.

This is green pepper.

You can't have it.

It's very spicy.

[Asian Cup Semi-final, China vs Iran]

Maintenance!

Taxi.

Professor.

Time to eat.

Where is Batong?

I haven't seen him.

Batong.

Batong!

Batong!

Come here.

My good boy.

It's closed today.

You've waited for so long.

Daddy forgot you today.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Come, let's go home.

Slow down.

Goal!

Batong.

It's a goal!

Let's keep calm. Now it's down to our goalie.

Batong.

We won!

We're in the final, you know?

Go! Go! Go!

When will the power be restored?

It's so hot in this city, your Chongqing. How can you bear it?

I forgot to tell you. There is power rationing today.

No power for a day in this district.

"My Chongqing"?

Chongqing offers you work and a place to live.

What more do you want?

Even a dog can be family. And he still can't call Chongqing home?

Calm down, and you'll feel cool.

I won!

What the hell!

Not again!

Give me the money.

Batong, it's cool now, isn't it?

Do you want to bury it?

Come on.

Come on.

Let's do it together.

Let's dig together.

Let's bury it.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

Shall we mark it?

You can't find it.

It's gone.

Come, let's sit here.

Sit.

Good, let's take a photo.

Don't look at me.

Look that way.

Look.

The dog food is better.

So convenient.

And he loves it too.

Yes.

I don't have to cook for the dog anymore.

No need to cook for people either.

Don't wind yourself up again.

Look, there were four in the family.

Now only we two are left.

You still cook so much food.

No matter how delicious it is, we can't finish it.

Two slices left. Finish it.

I really can't eat anymore.

How about this?

Leave it in the fridge.

When I come back from my research trip, put it in the noodles for me.

I can't live without you.

You are so annoying.

I'm off.

Batong, stay home.

I won't come home tonight.

Keep an eye on him.

Don't let him go to the station.

You're coming back on Wednesday?

Yes.

Bye bye, Batong.

Why did you come?

Do you want to go on the trip with Daddy?

Go home.

Around 2009, the water reached a height of 574.2 feet.

The communities moved uphill.

People had moved out of the places you see by then.

Where is Professor Chen?

He's not back yet.

I'm off.

Okay.

Don't go home for now.

Stay with Mom for a few days. Wait for me to come home.

Yes.

Okay.

Your dad took so many photos of you.

But nobody took photos of him.

Batong.

Where is Batong?

Batong.

Still waiting?

That day...

he came to see me off at the station, right?

I knew.

I knew.

I knew well.

Look.

Do you like this color?

Don't worry. There is enough room. [Demolition Notice]

I rented a bigger place.

There is an elevator.

If you worry you can't play mahjong, I'll teach you how to play it online. Okay?

How about Batong?

Are you allowed to keep a dog?

I'll ask again,

but I don't think so.

Ming.

Batong.

Batong, come.

He's had breakfast.

Okay.

We're off.

Bye, Mom.

What is he looking at?

I'll go get breakfast.

He's been sitting there since last night.

What?

Batong.

What are you looking at?

Batong!

Batong!

Batong!

Batong!

Batong!

Batong!

Batong, what are you doing here?

Go, now!

They're having a hotpot with dog meat.

Leave, quick.

We came here earlier today.

Let's check again.

He's incredible.

Batong.

Why did you come here again?

Let's go home.

Come home.

Batong.

Let's go.

- Let's go home. - Let's go, Batong.

Good boy.

Come.

Let's go home.

Come on, go home.

Let's go home.

You want to escape again.

Go back in.

Be good.

Stay at home.

Hurry up.

Take this.

Okay.

Come on, Batong.

Batong.

Batong.

Don't tie him tight. He's very obedient.

No problem.

- Feed him well. - Okay, don't worry.

You can run around in the countryside.

I'm sure you'll like it.

Be good.

Batong.

He's not coming back tonight.

Go home now.

Okay, Batong.

Go home.

Batong, be good.

What?

What are you doing?

Go away!

Go away!

Wait here.

We, fellow villagers, look after each other.

Let me know if you get bullied. You hear me?

I don't get much work here.

I want to find something else to do.

I want to go home and open a restaurant

or sell fruit.

I'm leaving now.

The Yangtze River Ropeway you see here was built in 1986.

He has stayed here since then.

For ten years.

He waits here every day.

Wait a minute.

Your house isn't completely torn down.

Let him show you.

Not completely torn down?

Mom.

Let's go have a look.

Yifan, you and Chuanchuan wait here.

Batong.

Mom, be careful.

Mom, come down, quick!

Come on!

Batong!
