Why are you here?

I convinced mom...

I can go to school myself.

Let's go!

Let's stay!

School is a waste of time.

Teacher: Today, chapter 14 'Photosynthesis'.

The sun is vital to us.

Humans absorb Vitamin D from the sun.

Did you know the sun is also vital for plants?

Plants need the sun for photosynthesis.

What is photosynthesis?

It occurs in the chloroplasts of leaves...

4 angelfishes came to my home!

Angel?

Yeah! Awesome!

It has black stripes and long whiskers.

The fins waggle, beautiful.

They stare at me...

Teacher: convert into glucose...

Wolf Yip, stand up!

Do you know what you did wrong?

Alan Ng, tell the class...

what Wolf did wrong.

Late for class.

Teacher: Besides that?

Actually he wanted to ask me a question...

without bothering others.

I want you to tell the class...

what Wolf did wrong.

Using sign language.

Teacher: Louder!

Using sign language.

I've told you guys many times.

The school prohibits sign language...

for you to focus on oral language.

If you stick to hands,

your verbal skills will slide.

She is sick.

Having hearing loss is not an issue.

You can learn to speak and lip-read well.

This is for your future.

I don't want you to be marginalized by society.

You understand?

Say it after me.

Under...

Wrong! Again...

Un... stand...

Wrong!

Bella Chan, Hoi Lam

Clifford Kung

Sun... ny... C...

We're next.

OK.

Sophie Fong

I know her.

She received our Chi On Scholarship.

Thank you for supporting.

We've chosen her as...

the 'Cochlear Implant Ambassador'.

Oh, so nice! Auntie, take a look.

Wow, amazing.

Thanks!

I should thank you for taking care of Sophie.

No worries, I always borrow Sophie's notes.

Are we going to take class photos?

Yes.

What time?

I think 3 pm.

15:00:00

15:00:00

There maybe a delay.

Let's chat while waiting.

Come!

Sorry...

He'll have a trip to Osaka.

Who are you going with?

Amy!

Which Amy?

You have a girlfriend?

Your tulips are beautiful.

Put them in a vase.

They can last for a month.

Don't water too much.

See this leaf...

(hurray)

OK!

Can you tidy up this?

You're usually not this serious.

Let him have it...

since he got us this job.

No problem.

Thanks. Pearl milk tea on me.

Here we go again!

Alan's treat. Pearl milk tea for everyone.

They welcome you.

Oh, wait a second.

Try it on.

Sophie, try a bigger smile.

Right! Good... Smile... That's it!

Relax your shoulders.

One more big smile.

Take a rest.

Let me think.

Want to change the song?

Alan: No! No! Let me...

Sophie, your English is good.

From A-Z, which one...

is the most beautiful?

U

This photo is good.

So lively, very cute!

Good! The third one...

Please read this slogan out.

Ready?

Wait.

Take this one for me.

OK.

OK? OK.

OK.

Good.

Ready 3,2,1 action.

Break through the hearing barrier.

Please support Cochlear Implant (CI).

OK. Good.

Alan: I've been working at this studio for 5 years.

Ever since coming back from the UK.

You pronounce 'studio' very accurately.

I practiced for a long time before,

but still can't say it well.

'S' is difficult to pronounce.

Really? I just say it casually...

Awesome!

Kaya toast is a specialty here.

I don't think you heard what I just said.

Don't worry. It happens to me too.

And I respond with a silly smile.

In fact, hearing people often mishear too.

So that's okay.

But for this you gotta listen to me.

Kaya toast, tastes like cotton candy.

Give it a try.

Hey...

You know how to sign?

Generally yes.

This is milk tea.

And this one is French toast.

This plus this makes Yuan Yang.

Yuan Yang (tea-coffee)

I really don't know how to sign.

Ever thought about learning it?

When I was young my mom didn't allow it.

I see...

In fact I heard someone...

even called us a sign language cult.

Really?

Yeah...

recruiting young ladies.

Are you interested?

But with sign language...

can you really express anything?

Try it!

'Inflation'.

I don't know, but...

my friend must know for sure.

Is there a sign language interpreter today?

Oh, don't worry.

We found a sponsor for the captioning machine.

So the sign language interpreter is canceled.

Deaf people who sign also read captions.

What if a deaf person...

wants to say something in sign language?

Um...

Bla bla bla...

Always like this...

In fact, the earlier one gets a CI,

the better the result.

I had the surgery at around 10 years old...

Hi Alan!

Let me introduce our foundation's director,

Roger.

This is one of our ambassadors Alan.

Nice to meet you, Alan.

Nice to meet you, Roger.

Nice to have you with us.

Alan got a CI at the age of 10.

In fact, besides oral language,

I also know sign language.

Nice.

That guy is my sign language teacher.

I told him you taught me sign language.

I haven't forgotten the promise we made.

Then you tell him...

as you have CI ambassadors,

I can also be a Sign Language Ambassador.

Tell him to pay up.

You guys are so talkative.

He told us to "add oil".

Add oil! Keep it up!

Playing with translation!?

You're doing well.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Roger.

Thank you, Alan.

CI is very different from hearing aids.

Hearing aids are like an amplifier in the ear.

While CI...

has been popular since 20 years ago.

It requires a surgery...

to implant electrodes into the cochlear.

By the processor outside the ear,

the sound will be converted into electrical signals.

Through electrodes,

they directly stimulate the nerve fibers...

MC: please welcome our CI Ambassador,

Ms. Sophie Fong.

That's me when I was 2.

Of course I can't remember things from 2 years old.

This is what my mom told me.

In my hand, this little chirping one...

when being squeezed,

it'd make a 'beep' sound.

Then I kept laughing nonstop.

But afterwards, I had a high fever.

I couldn't hear her sound ever since then.

At that time I was 3.

In fact, my first clear memory is...

at speech therapy school.

'Lion', 'Market', 'Taxi'

Everyday...

the teacher scolded me for speaking incorrectly.

But I had no idea what I did wrong.

At 6 years old,

my mom and I made a life-changing decision,

to undergo CI surgery.

At that time, I felt like I was switched on again.

After the surgery,

I still had to keep practising how to speak.

My mom recorded TV programs.

While watching,

we spoke along with the TV characters.

My mom often said,

"Just work twice as hard.

You could definitely catch up."

So I often got the highest score.

I really want to thank CI,

because it gave me an opportunity...

to be a normal person again.

Humans can overcome their flaws.

So I really hope that one day,

with technology advancing,

there'll be no more deaf people in the world.

Do you know what you're saying?

I am proud to be Deaf.

I just saw...

Ms. Chan on the playground...

hit by a basketball.

She's smelly.

Smelly?

No!

It should be "She 'Deserves' it".

'Deserves'.

Yes.

She deserves it.

Thank you.

How about you teach me sign language...

and I teach you oral language?

I don't want you to repeat a grade.

So what! I don't care.

She's out of her mind.

I'm Deaf.

Want me to stop signing? Ridiculous!

I sign even when I'm dreaming.

All my ancestors sign.

When I started to sign, Ms. Chan was...

still sucking...

a pacifier!

Smelly.

You... are amazing.

A piece of cake.

My eyes are radars.

Hey! What was that?

Hey.

Free after school tomorrow?

Why do you like drawing fish?

Cos I went to mainstream school before...

with no friends.

Let's learn diving together.

I'll get a CI surgery soon.

Can't take water pressure.

You already have a hearing aid.

Why do you still need CI?

Hearing aids can only pick up 20 to 30%.

CI can reach up to 60 to 70%.

Hey...

Would you get CI too?

What?

No.

I'd rather swim with the fishes.

See any fish?

Fishes swimming around you?

Yes!

They said...

they miss me.

Hey.

These corals are more beautiful now.

Right.

Their surviving power is strong.

Let's swim over there.

Mr. CI ambassador.

Sorry.

Didn't see your speech last time.

I left early.

Sorry about that.

Pity!

Not every deaf person is like you.

Many need CI to make it in society.

I've always respected CI users.

But do they respect people who sign?

Now some people want...

all Deaf people to use CI,

speaking only orally.

Then sign language would disappear!

Sign language is my mother tongue.

Being Deaf,

we've been signing comfortably since childhood.

Why distort who we are?

Really...

"comfortably"?

Every time my dad sees the doctor,

those interpreters suck.

My friend studied hard to enter university.

But with no interpreter provided,

too difficult, so he dropped out.

CI users have subsidies. Good!

What about us?

Can we make it into society by signing?

hope I'd have passed all the remaining exams of...

the Quantitative Finance and Investment track,

also... completed the DMAC module...

and the FAC course...

and FSA qualification of the SOA...

Hopefully by that time,

I would be on the right track of my actuary profession...

and be able to make accurate valuation on different kinds of insurance product...

and handling jobs independently.

May I ask, if our company encounters a deaf client,

I suppose you'll be able to offer some help, right?

Yes.

We are talking about...

those who can't speak and use sign language.

Can you sign?

Mom: Fact is, interviews are no big deal.

Just try the next one.

There are plenty of opportunities, right?

Most of my ex-classmates have found jobs.

Silly.

We used to catch up from behind.

Why such a hurry?

Have more soup.

To scrub the top,

don't clamber up like this.

You'll hurt your back.

Scrub with a stick.

Why not just scrub like this?

All right!

Remember to press down on one end.

One vertical, one horizontal.

It means 'finished'.

Now, go next...

That's a big company...

we can't compete with.

We deaf people can only work harder.

Sis, long time no see!

You bought so many crabs?

Good day at the horse races?

These crabs were on a big sale today.

$12 per tael.

Very cheap.

Everyone, enjoy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wolf, you look thin.

Been working hard?

No

My body is toned.

No, no, no.

Uncle Gen is right.

Look how thin you are?

Eat chicken shit.

Don't talk about shit while eating.

Nope.

He taught me! Not my fault.

This chicken intestine,

when you were little,

you just kept eating.

You two...

Without Uncle Gen in our shop,

we couldn't have raised you.

Uncle Gen watched you all grow up.

Uncle Gen: Your dad wanted to...

pass the shop over to you two.

Business is no good now.

They are not interested.

Let them be.

How's your car wash job?

Okay! Thanks for finding Sai Keung for me.

Put your heart into it this time.

Don't offend people like last time.

What's that?

Learn something.

Two pieces of fabric sewn together...

saves more time for washing cars.

Good idea!

It gives me inspiration for my homework.

So dramatic?

I am studying fashion design,

inheriting talents from dad and mom.

Smartass.

We Deaf people won't fancy too much.

You grow up and...

take well care of yourselves.

Then we can relax.

No need to worry.

We can definitely do it!

(Bark!)

so demanding. The client has gone mad.

19 f♪♪kin' items, can you handle it?

No worries, just do it on Monday.

My car is over there.

Bye.

$150 please.

Let me help you with branding.

Bran...?

Branding...

McDonald's.

Nike.

Brand design. Advertising.

'Deafness' as a selling point.

Using your service is kinda...

helping the Deaf be self-reliant.

Nonsense.

I hate using 'Deafness' to gain sympathy.

Begging?

Didn't you say, "I am proud to be Deaf"?

So thin?

Add a little more muscle.

Should we name it 'King' or 'Captain' Carwash?

Of course 'Captain'.

Isn't the word 'Deaf' too small?

It should be written like calligraphy.

Big and bold is the way to go.

Like...

Andy Lau's calligraphy.

Absolutely beautiful.

Andy Lau?

Not exactly.

Mom. You stay up so late?

Hello Wolf.

Wow! What are you guys doing?

Nothing...

Momo Cha Cha.

You still remember?

I remember.

'Green Diamond'.

Alan said you're coming, so I made it for you.

Thanks.

Looks similar.

Yes...

got so big biceps?

Wolf, all the best.

Don't stay up late!

Good night.

Good Night. Mom.

Thanks.

If I open a diving school in the future,

I'll ask you again to design flyers.

No problem.

That bitch?

Don't be mad just yet.

She asked me to show you.

Wolf.

Last time

My words

No good

Sorry

Re... spect...

Deaf people

We should

Her sign language is terrible.

Did you teach her?

Sophie: Why aren't there more deaf people like you,

using CI, oral and sign language together?

Isn't that better?

Alan: Not every surgery is

successful like us.

We are 'Star Patients'.

Octopus.

Octopus.

What color is the octopus?

Red.

Right.

A lot of red... how about this one?

Not so much.

Not so much?

This one then.

A little more pinkish.

Pinkish?

Just a little.

Just a little pinkish.

Sophie: Maybe because I'm from mainstream schools,

I've not really thought about this.

Miss Chow: Hi kids.

Let's say thanks to two CI ambassadors...

for teaching us.

Thank you Alan.

Thank you Sophie.

Don't be rushed.

Let me clean up first.

We can help.

Sophie: May I ask,

do you teach sign language here?

We do have sign language classes...

for parents and children.

When I was little, I joined drawing classes...

but I didn't like them.

So, I think you're great.

You can teach them with such care,

yet allow them to paint so freely.

I didn't think too much about it.

People used to teach me with great care.

Now I want to teach the same way.

I hope they won't find learning so hard.

They found it fun.

That's good.

At the press conference,

I said my mom recorded TV programs...

to train my speaking.

Alan: I remember.

The truth is...

she was playing them repeatedly...

pausing, replaying, rewinding.

We watch the same sentence...

for over 20 times,

until I could say it exactly the same.

Huh?

If I said it wrong,

she would beat me with a hanger.

Sometimes I got bruised.

"Put in twice the effort!"

I couldn't mention all these at the conference.

Well... that's in the past.

Hard work will surely pay off.

How did you learn to speak so well?

Well, me?

I don't remember...

Why did your family allow sign language?

Actually, they worried at first,

but mom found I became happier...

You okay?

The contact points have some problems.

I can fix it.

Let me see your model.

Your model is old.

Next time ask the audiologist to check thoroughly.

Let's go.

Haven't played here for a long time.

Sophie: Alan, may I ask...

Wolf doesn't do CI...

because of congenital factors?

Teacher: Wolf Yip... Wolf Yip.

Enough!

Wolf Yip.

Is this your first day at school?

You keep talking, How many times have I told you...

but I don't know what you're saying. you need to focus in class.

You learn sign language from me. If you need to sleep,

Let's go McDonald together. If you need to sleep,

Let's go McDonald together. Get to bed earlier.

I'll teach you to sign McDonald menu. Get to bed earlier.

I'll teach you to sign McDonald menu. Don't come and sleep.

French fries, cheese burger, Don't come and sleep.

Fillet-o-fish, big mac, milk shake... This will affect the whole class.

Get up! Stand up!

Miss Chan, you must be bored,

yelling all day long, targeting me. You're still signing?

Yelling all day long, targeting me. Stand still!

You...

follow me and say:

"I will...

never sign again in school".

Say it.

I will...

forever sign like crazy in school.

Alan Ng.

Tell me, what did he say?

What did you say?

I said,

learn sign language and you'll know!

Remember to treat me to McDonald's.

You're getting CI next year.

Why do you still need to sign?

I don't know.

I like it.

Got the ceiling!

Got the Feeling.

Got the Feeling.

Actually I've "Got the Feeling" every day.

Tell you a secret.

This is the first time,

I got punished by a teacher.

Really?

Sorry.

Not at all.

Very honored.

I promise you.

Even when I get CI,

I will continue to sign.

How are your angelfishes at home?

Great, I often chat with them...

Alan: 2 years ago...

a scientist advocated rewriting the human DNA,

so there'll be no deaf people anymore.

Can you imagine Wolf's reaction?

He smashed 3 chairs!

So last time, he wasn't too bad to you.

Thank you.

Hey!

Asshole! You stole from me?

Stop acting, give me back...

my phone!

What happened?

Calm down.

Call the cops.

He stole my phone.

He said you stole his phone.

Call the police!

Nonsense, I did not.

Alan: He said he didn't.

You acted suspiciously.

I slept with the window open.

You must've stolen my phone.

No? Search then!

Alan: Get away! Shut up!

You know each other? Partners?

You got a deaf-mute guy to steal!

He said we're working together.

F♪♪k!

You can speak? F♪♪k?

Woman's voice: "Hello..."

"are you calling for Mr. Wong?"

"Sorry, Mr. Wong didn't bring..."

Honey! It's nothing!

"Silly, you left your phone at the restaurant."

"You're using someone's phone?"

His wife has his phone. Okay, say no more.

Nonsense!

You're awesome.

Thanks.

He asked, "How did you know he didn't steal?"

I watched your video.

'Respect' is not like this.

It should be this.

Here.

'Respect'

Alan's teaching is too poor!

He said he can teach you...

with a 20% discount.

Thank you.

Playing with translation?

Damn it.

Alan: Congratulations! Miss Actuary.

I'm not one yet.

I'm just an assistant to the department head for now.

Sounds good too.

This is a top company.

I really want to get in.

Hope to become an actuary someday.

Put your heart into it.

Let's have fun today.

Go there to help.

Where's your girlfriend?

Didn't bring her?

Too busy to have a girlfriend.

You're that busy?

Busy!

And I'll study a scuba instructor course.

I'll be more busy!

How will you handle it?

Hiring a translator is expensive.

I'm the King of Water.

With the notes and the translation app,

I can make it.

Awesome!

When you pass the exam,

tell me how it works.

I want to sign up too.

Class A, Fanny!

You took so long to recognize me?

She's my senior classmate, Fanny.

You're still signing? I'm very happy.

You two are CI ambassadors.

Congratulations.

CI technology is getting better now.

She said...

You guys keep chatting.

I'll go in and help.

I've had CI surgery before.

But the results were poor.

No big deal.

I feel comfortable signing.

When you have time,

teach her sign language.

They're talking about...

a deaf cafe they opened last week.

Alan: "We're going to play 'Underwater Solitaire'..."

using sign language...

to describe the underwater world.

We sign one after another...

following the last sign of the previous player.

And we use only 3 hand shapes:

Paper, Scissors, Stone.

Other hand shapes will be punished...

Someone is swimming...

Wearing a diving mask...

Swim and swim...

Swim and swim...

Chased by a shark...

The shark is chasing...

Finds an octopus...

He puts the octopus on his head...

Octopus...

Wrapped by the octopus...

Octopus...

Wrapped by the octopus...

Shark attack... dodge!

Seaweed swaying...

She said, "Learn sign language well...

to play next time".

What is your sign name?

S

O

P...

Her skin is bright.

She talks so well...

Let's call her "Brightalk".

He gave you a sign name.

"Brightalk"

Let me introduce 3 new colleagues,

Angus,

Benny.

They are in the valuation team.

I'm Angus. Nice to meet you.

I'm Benny, nice to meet you.

This is Sophie, in our assistant department.

She mainly assists Gordon.

Nice to meet you.

She is a Cochlear Implant (CI) user.

First, register your password...

to open an account.

Any questions, ask Catherine.

Wanna try? 70%.

Thanks.

You don't need to answer.

I've already informed everyone.

tell more jokes, live longer,

so we can make the big bucks...

Alan: How's your work today?

Sophie: Not great.

Alan: Not great?

Alan: Take some time to adapt.

I was like that before.

Sophie: Hope it'll be okay.

It's so noisy here.

Why did Wolf choose such a place to have this lesson?

I told Wolf to accommodate us,

but he insisted on this location.

He said...

'No worries'

I

We don't need translation to learn sign language.

knew that very well.

'Pay the bill'

I...

'pay the bill'.

Thank you!

Okay.

Are you okay?

Nothing. Okay.

Can you read me clearly in this way?

Yes...

Also, to call you from behind...

tap your shoulder first, right?

Yes.

Okay, don't worry.

I'll notify other colleagues.

Margaret, sorry,

my CI malfunctioned at the start of my work.

But I've scheduled to see an audiologist to fix it.

We understand your situation.

Go back to work for now.

Catherine, you showed me some document yesterday.

I added some data to it.

You can take a look.

So it was you.

That's not necessary.

The actuaries will handle it.

You just need to put the forms...

to the right folder, that's all.

I'm sorry.

No worries.

Is there anything else I need to handle?

Well...

Choose the afternoon tea set...

Baby... You're not off work yet.

Sophie.

The company website just got updated.

Check out the latest products.

Study them for the next meeting.

Okay.

Now

Sign language

Oh...

A few days ago,

I found it at home.

You actually kept it!

Back then, I signed.

He drew them.

We made copies and passed them around.

School banned this book.

You drew these?

I did.

Highly confidential.

He asked me to draw it.

He did!

Take it home.

Study it.

Okay.

Your receiver is fine. But...

the implant in your ear has electronic failure.

The intermittent sounds you hear...

will be more frequent.

If you do nothing,

your hearing will decline.

There's only one simple solution surgery.

Remove the old one and replace it.

Excuse me, is this seat taken?

No.

Please.

You're early today.

I thought you had to work overtime.

Oh, not needed.

But I ate already.

Eating out too much is not good.

Let me bring you a bowl of soup.

And then we can watch a movie together...

I go to my room first. We haven't watch...

Sophie... don't want soup?

I...

can make it.

Awake?

Did I sleep?

You were teaching 'Kowloon Bay' station,

Ngau Tau Kok' and...

in the middle of 'Kwun Tong',

you fell asleep.

Sorry.

I used to skip school to go diving.

Now I have to take exams in order to dive.

Shit!

I'm the King of Water.

I still gotta take exams?

Damn it!

You...

diving textbook... notes...

lend me, okay?

Sophie: Nice to meet you.

Client: Sophie Fong!

We finally put a face to the name.

We've heard of you a lot.

You've earned an actuarial science degree.

Gordon: She'll take the FIAA exam.

Client: Go for it! Add oil!

Gordon: Please.

Presenter: These regions are...

more likely to have natural disaster.

Therefore...

fund distribution...

set targets... decision making...

performance assessment...

We'll observe every detail...

busi... ness... glo... bal...

Sophie.

When did they say the audit report will be issued?

Wait a second...

It looks like next month... I'll ask...

No problem, I forgot...

I hope you don't mind.

Sorry, Gordon.

Margaret...

Catherine, come in.

Very clear.

But the math...

You are an actuary.

I am not.

It's not hard.

Water pressure...

Balloon...

Relationship...

I know.

"Boyle's... something... Law..."

But to do math?

Damn it!

Let's have a quiz.

Water surface...

Balloon...

6L.

Remember.

Dive a little deeper...

10M deep.

The balloon would shrink to...

1/2.

You dive deeper.

20M deep.

The balloon would shrink more...

The volume becomes...?

1/3.

2L.

I think...

Scuba diving...

so much calculation... difficult...

But... I can feel...

quite fun.

Too bad for me.

With CI...

I can't try.

Snorkeling,

know what it is?

Shallow water diving.

Deep water... No.

Snorkeling.

You can do it even with CI.

I know...

After I finish the exam,

you, Alan, and I go together?

I am...

hopeless at sports.

When you were in your mom's belly,

you already knew how to swim.

I'll go over there to explore.

You take care of her.

You were like that.

I laughed so hard I almost...

shit my pants.

What does this sign mean?

Your handwriting...

is 'shit'.

I know it. His homework...

looked really like a pile of shit.

That's right.

My notes are shit.

Thanks for helping me organize it.

Clear and...

easy to understand now.

I think I'll pass the exam.

The result will come out soon.

I want to ask you.

If you...

can hear,

what would you like to hear?

Over there,

the fishes at the bottom of the sea,

what they would say to me.

How about our voices?

You don't want to hear?

Your voices?

I know.

Yours is...

like this.

And yours is...

I know.

It's time...

I gotta go.

Many cars to wash tonight.

Played all day, fulfilled.

Hope I won't fall asleep later.

Today,

you taught me snorkeling.

Thanks.

It's dry.

You can put the CI back on.

Sophie: Thanks for taking me out today.

Sophie: I didn't wear the CI all day,

but I talked more than usual.

Sophie...

Wolf passed the exam!

Shoot me.

Congratulations.

Keep adding oil!

Your turn.

Dinner on you.

Sent!

You like Wolf?

Please put on the CI.

Can you hear?

When will you have the surgery?

Actually, I'm OK with lip reading.

How long can you keep this up?

Even after the surgery, at best...

it'll be just like before.

I won't fully recover.

My colleague told me,

"Sophie, you type fast.

We can communicate by typing."

Then why should I have the surgery?

If you don't, it'll get worse.

You still have to take exams...

and become an actuary, right?

I think my chances to be an actuary...

is getting slim.

Take it easy.

Still plenty of opportunities ahead.

Fact is, to be like Wolf is not bad.

Crazy...

Wolf is different from you.

Wolf is OK not to hear and talk,

but you aren't.

You've achieved so much by hard work:

Bachelor degree,

CI ambassador,

job at the top insurance company.

But... I don't want to be like this.

I... feel like...

I'm just a...

mascot.

Many deaf people's lives are hard.

What about me?

Being like a mascot,

don't I have a hard life too?

You're very fortunate...

Stop!

What you said is worse than swear words!

Mom, I'm home.

What's this?

Mom, why did you search my stuff?

I didn't.

I found it when I put your letters in your room.

You've been so quiet lately,

because you're learning this?

I... can't hear you.

Why can't you hear me?

Are you not wearing your CI?

Sophie.

We've worked so hard for so long.

Now you want to be like those deaf people?

I am...

really...

a Deaf person!

Sign Language Homework 12

Mr. Wolf,

Today,

I've learnt sign language...

for 48 days.

Just now,

I had a fight with Alan.

He urged me to...

fix my CI.

But now I want to focus...

on memorizing sign language.

I used to think...

sign language...

is rude.

But now I think it is...

amazing.

What new word did you learn today?

'Diving'

'Dating'

'Quarrel'

'Exam'

'Heartbroken'

'Street food stall'

Every sign...

goes straight to my heart.

In my life,

this is the first time...

I've felt like...

I'm truly...

talking.

Expressing.

Ketchup.

Don't want?

Sour.

My...

sign name is...

Brightalk.

Yours?

Rainbow.

Rainbow.

Wolf,

Thank you.

Water...

Sea...

I had never been...

Now,

I want to learn...

swimming.

What day are you coming back?

People (moving)

Car

Car (running)

Building

Cloud

Wind

Sunset

Last time we learned 'mask replacement'.

You have to remind the learners...

mask clearing.

Look up and breathe through the nose, alright?

Let's continue with 'no mask swimming'...

Ice cream is so tasty after a swim.

How did you know I was here?

You told me in your reply.

Sorry.

No need to be sorry.

Alan...

I just want to focus on learning sign language.

Nothing else.

It's you who introduced sign language to me.

As for CI,

I'm not dumb enough to ignore it.

I'll decide after...

this month's sign language class.

Sophie!

Can you hear me?

Wolf wanted me to tell you,

he has no time to teach you anymore.

He said sorry.

Then I'll practice more on my own.

Manager Yu has approved the funds.

After seeing the doctor,

Sophie can be admitted to a private hospital.

Save some waiting time.

Chi On Foundation will take care of the cost.

Thank you.

No worries.

Sophie has been supportive to us,

and we want to help her.

Thank you.

By the way,

we'd like to take this opportunity...

to ask Sophie a favor...

for the hard-of-hearing people.

Break through hearing barriers.

Please support Cochlear Implant (CI).

That one is good... Okay.

Director: Cut, good take.

MC: Behind Sophie's hard work...

the help of technology matters.

Let's listen to Sophie's story.

The scar behind my ear...

has been with me for 17 years.

CI has helped me communicate with others.

Just like some deaf people use sign language.

It's also a way to communicate.

The most important thing is...

eg., CI, oral language, sign language,

finding the true way of communication...

to express thoughts...

Director: Stop for now.

Sophie, sorry.

When you talk,

can you not mention sign language?

Sorry... I can't see your lips.

When you talk again...

can you not mention sign language...

and don't sign?

Did I sign poorly?

Sorry... let me do it again.

No... you sign very well.

However, we want to focus on CI.

CI.

In fact, many deaf people who sign...

also consider CI.

Don't worry, we'll provide subtitles.

If I sign, they will feel more connected,

when watching this video.

I know what you mean.

But please understand...

that some are considering CI...

because they don't want to sign.

So, if you sign now,

it might cause some confusion...

No one is asking you to lie.

Can you just avoid...

what they don't agree with?

They are fully subsidising you.

Did you forget what you promised Wolf?

Even if I get CI,

I will continue to sign.

Perfectly washed.

I will refer you to many friends.

I got to go.

We unite.

Make a living together.

No more bullying by hearing bosses.

It's our turn to bully them back.

Just kidding.

After I become a diving instructor,

you take care of here more.

My daughter is 15.

Can she learn diving?

Of course.

Is she a hearing person?

Yes, but she signs with me.

Cool!

After she learns diving,

she can be a translator for me...

to teach hearing people.

I'll tell her!

Tell her.

Next I want to open a diving school.

I can teach both deaf and hearing people.

Remember me?

We've met. Yes, I remember.

I'm Brightalk.

I'm Fanny.

F♪♪k off!

Deaf pretender.

Pretend...?

She looks familiar...

What's her sign name?

I remember! She said,

with technology,

there'll be no more deaf people...

I see you guys talking about me.

It's okay.

I apologized to Wolf.

He...

forgave me.

We are good friends now.

Many deaf people know it.

Teacher: Today we practiced the 24 forms.

You all did well.

Please watch the videos to revise,

and remember what...

you need to remind the learners.

That's it for today.

You're dismissed.

Teacher: Wolf...

After shower,

let's have a meeting over there.

Interview me?

For 'Outstanding Deaf Diver'?

Haha...

You did get better,

relying less on writing assist.

Of course.

I prepare well for each lesson.

This is Grace,

the secretary of our school.

We've met.

Today, we have to tell you...

some bad news.

Grace: Mr.Yip, firstly...

thank you for joining our course...

Hold on.

Cut the crap.

He said... cut the crap.

Then let's get to the point.

We can't handle your exam.

What does that mean?

We don't have a way...

to conduct an exam for you.

No?

When I signed up you said...

Deaf people can join.

We welcome anyone to enroll.

A certificate will be awarded to you...

Certificate will be awarded.

But...

the licenses are issued by...

the Association.

A few days ago they said...

we need...

a sign language interpreter...

of diving expertise...

to handle the exam.

We can't manage.

Sorry.

You're telling me now?

I've found this for you,

information about deaf people...

becoming diving instructors.

Deaf American master diver.

He trained many deaf diving instructors.

I know.

Want me to go to America?

My English sucks.

I can teach you English.

I'm not as smart as you.

You've learned sign language so fast.

Your sign language...

Got the Feeling.

Got the Feeling.

Please teach me...

diving.

Last time,

snorkeling...

was really fun.

Together

Add oil

Sorry... Mom.

I got into big trouble this time.

Silly girl.

I always thank you for...

patiently teaching me oral language.

Mom: Sophie, promise me...

no matter what...

we must keep talking to each other.

I can understand you totally...

by reading your lips.

Next week

CI

If I replace it,

I'll have to continue...

to be a 'Normal Person'.

But in fact...

'Normal'... its standard...

is so very high...

to chase it...

to reach it...

forever...

impossible.

I lie to myself and say,

"I am very blessed",

"I am useful",

"Thank you all..."

I can't do it.

Actually,

who I am,

where I am,

always...

searching,

can never find.

If...

I...

can choose,

I...

choose...

tranquillity.

With my hands,

freely...

express...

Did you see any fish?

Yes.

See you next time.

Sophie: Knead it until it's soft.

Then cut it into 8 pieces.

Understood.

Understood.

Understood.

Understood.

Understood.

Today's test result is good.

No adjustment is needed.

Thank you, Eugena.

You've got a new CI cover.

Good! Got the Feeling.

Okay...

Turn around.

Try turning around.

Gimme a sharp glance.

Raise your head a little.

The guitar... move it to the left.

I've never tried this type...

Let's celebrate our first anniversary.

My daughter wants to learn diving but...

So late.

Just got off work.

Where's Wolf?

Studying so hard?

When is the exam?

Next week. If I pass the English exam,

I can go to America.

After getting my cert there,

I'll be back to teach.

Will Sophie go with you?

Her job doesn't allow.

Don't worry.

You're a King of Study now.

Your notes?

Shit.

Are you ready?

Please stand up.

Good morning students.

Good morning teachers.

Sit down please.

Open your books to page 34.

The roots absorb water...

and transport it to the leaves.

Leaves absorb CO2 and sunlight...
