1
00:00:21,392 --> 00:00:23,472
I was a student at a school
for the blind in Tibet.

2
00:00:23,593 --> 00:00:26,033
I could see with one eye.

3
00:00:26,106 --> 00:00:31,066
So my classmates wanted me
to take them somewhere.

4
00:00:31,257 --> 00:00:34,137
Everyone wants their dreams
to come true.

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,520
But I had to keep their secret.

6
00:00:37,841 --> 00:00:42,321
I was ten years old at the time.

7
00:00:48,211 --> 00:00:49,451
I want to go.

8
00:00:49,555 --> 00:00:50,875
You're too young.

9
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640
If i lent you the eagle flute.
You promised to take us there.

10
00:00:57,742 --> 00:01:00,902
No, I only said I'd think about it.

11
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:08,098
Do you know how far Shenzhen is
from our school?

12
00:01:57,536 --> 00:01:59,576
Grandma, let me go!

13
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,000
You can't go.

14
00:02:08,126 --> 00:02:09,646
I must go!

15
00:02:30,406 --> 00:02:32,526
Why won't you let my go?

16
00:02:33,369 --> 00:02:35,449
Just tell me why.

17
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160
You think you will become
a star in Shenzhen?

18
00:02:48,784 --> 00:02:50,144
Look to the right.

19
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:52,330
Good.

20
00:02:54,121 --> 00:02:55,761
Now, look to the left.

21
00:03:00,841 --> 00:03:02,001
Good.

22
00:03:03,594 --> 00:03:04,954
Good.

23
00:03:06,008 --> 00:03:09,728
Thupten needs to have his eye treated
as soon as possible.

24
00:03:09,996 --> 00:03:13,156
If it is delayed,
he's likely to go blind.

25
00:03:13,332 --> 00:03:16,372
Okay, bring him
to the hospital tomorrow.

26
00:03:41,563 --> 00:03:44,323
You can't go on this TV show.

27
00:03:44,679 --> 00:03:54,239
Your eye won't last
if you don't have the operation.

28
00:03:55,086 --> 00:03:56,166
I just want to give it a try.

29
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,560
You can't go.

30
00:03:59,036 --> 00:04:02,385
Look at the train.

31
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Look!

32
00:04:04,015 --> 00:04:05,295
Look!

33
00:04:05,494 --> 00:04:08,944
Look at the train.

34
00:04:09,004 --> 00:04:10,880
Look!

35
00:04:10,981 --> 00:04:15,381
The train is coming.

36
00:04:15,435 --> 00:04:20,430
Everyone take a step back.

37
00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:22,860
Teacher...

38
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,655
Why are there so many houses
on the train?

39
00:04:28,703 --> 00:04:32,275
Those are not called houses.

40
00:04:32,339 --> 00:04:35,790
They are called "carriages".

41
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:38,676
Many people can sit inside.

42
00:04:38,836 --> 00:04:40,676
<i>Voice map activated.</i>

43
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:42,820
<i>Lhasa...</i>

44
00:04:42,924 --> 00:04:46,670
The train is very long.

45
00:04:46,736 --> 00:04:50,416
<i>Yongzhou, Wuzhou, Guangzhou</i>

46
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:53,140
<i>Macao, Shenzhen.</i>

47
00:04:53,232 --> 00:04:57,639
The locomotive is already so far away.

48
00:04:57,710 --> 00:05:02,630
The caboose is still right here.

49
00:05:02,781 --> 00:05:06,381
An arm's length away!

50
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:07,913
Kelsang!

51
00:05:41,637 --> 00:05:43,997
Why's the lighting like this?

52
00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:45,173
Director.

53
00:05:45,253 --> 00:05:47,613
Two more backlights
will light up on both sides

54
00:05:47,838 --> 00:05:49,398
And on the big screen...

55
00:05:49,454 --> 00:05:51,894
We'll project two new images.

56
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,160
Director, what do you think of
these contestants?

57
00:05:54,227 --> 00:05:57,547
Messed up again!
Remember your position!

58
00:05:57,653 --> 00:05:59,533
Director, call for you.

59
00:06:00,973 --> 00:06:02,253
Hello.

60
00:06:02,908 --> 00:06:05,788
Yeah? When can you arrive?

61
00:06:06,873 --> 00:06:09,713
Flight tickets? No problem.

62
00:06:12,489 --> 00:06:15,049
Room and board? No problem.

63
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:16,929
What?

64
00:06:16,985 --> 00:06:18,425
You want us to go there
and bring you here?

65
00:06:18,473 --> 00:06:20,073
Director, here's your food.

66
00:06:22,625 --> 00:06:24,505
Okay, no problem.

67
00:06:27,385 --> 00:06:28,425
<i>Repair method.</i>

68
00:06:28,487 --> 00:06:30,607
<i>Replace the screws
and tighten them again.</i>

69
00:06:30,713 --> 00:06:33,313
<i>Enter the manufacture date
of your piano.</i>

70
00:06:33,433 --> 00:06:35,833
<i>Enter the location and
frequency of its use.</i>

71

<i>1987, Lhasa, unused for 5 years.</i>

72
00:06:40,461 --> 00:06:43,181
<i>I'm sorry, we are
unable to repair your piano.</i>

73
00:06:51,409 --> 00:06:53,809
Brother Sonam said
the TV station's director...

74
00:06:53,873 --> 00:06:56,833
will come to Lhasa to pick us up.

75
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,600
Brother Thupten
already promised to take us there.

76
00:07:46,131 --> 00:07:47,691
Sister Droma!

77
00:07:48,797 --> 00:07:50,517
Sister Droma!

78
00:07:53,865 --> 00:07:55,705
Sister Droma!

79
00:08:09,448 --> 00:08:10,648
<i>According to
the online encyclopedia...</i>

80
00:08:10,713 --> 00:08:14,473
<i>Desire to Sing
is a reality show on Shenzhen TV.</i>

81
00:08:14,546 --> 00:08:17,186
<i>It aims to respect and
encourage everyone's dream.</i>

82
00:08:24,849 --> 00:08:28,689
Brother Sonam, let's go!

83
00:09:08,173 --> 00:09:09,793
Why did you bring so many pears?

84
00:09:09,871 --> 00:09:11,911
They will pay for our trip.

85
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:29,010
The next day
we had to set off for Lhasa.

86
00:09:29,082 --> 00:09:32,122
If we had gotten there late,

87
00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:34,574
We would have missed out
on this opportunity.

88
00:09:34,678 --> 00:09:37,078
We would have missed out
on this opportunity.

89
00:09:37,341 --> 00:09:39,341
I had made a promise to my friends.

90
00:09:39,513 --> 00:09:42,953
So I couldn't let them down.

91
00:09:57,054 --> 00:09:58,974
How far is Shenzhen?

92
00:09:59,105 --> 00:10:01,425
An arm's length away!

93
00:10:01,676 --> 00:10:06,156
Then what about the ocean?
How big is the ocean?

94
00:10:06,395 --> 00:10:08,795
As big as a washbowl!

95
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:13,380
<i>Together we make one circle</i>

96
00:10:13,456 --> 00:10:16,176
<i>Together we make two circles</i>

97
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
<i>Together we make three circles</i>

98
00:10:19,226 --> 00:10:25,186
<i>Hallelujah</i>

99
00:10:25,304 --> 00:10:28,584
<i>Together we make one circle</i>

100
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:31,540
<i>Together we make two circles</i>

101
00:10:31,611 --> 00:10:34,331
<i>Together we make three circles</i>

102
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,960
<i>Hallelujah...</i>

103
00:10:53,443 --> 00:10:55,083
Where did they go?

104
00:10:56,787 --> 00:10:57,787
Tell me.

105
00:10:58,756 --> 00:11:00,316
Where did the go?

106
00:11:01,951 --> 00:11:03,551
Tell me!

107
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,200
Sonam pretended to be you and
called the TV station in Shenzhen.

108
00:11:10,351 --> 00:11:13,031
I heard they want to go to Lhasa
to meet them.

109
00:11:13,154 --> 00:11:14,234
Thupten needs to have
the operation right away.

110
00:11:14,266 --> 00:11:15,906
Okay, enough. I know.

111
00:11:16,421 --> 00:11:18,941
They are just kids.

112
00:11:19,035 --> 00:11:23,475
Make sure you don't shout at them...

113
00:11:27,164 --> 00:11:29,204
And bring my cart back!

114
00:11:42,689 --> 00:11:45,969
Thupten, I can hear a car coming.

115
00:11:51,537 --> 00:11:55,137
Be careful, Thupten, be careful.

116
00:12:15,101 --> 00:12:17,861
A proud heart can overcome anything.

117
00:12:18,591 --> 00:12:22,631
A proud heart can overcome anything.

118
00:12:26,099 --> 00:12:29,619
The prince's jeweled sword...

119
00:12:41,995 --> 00:12:43,875
Our cart is broken.

120
00:12:51,616 --> 00:12:53,816
<i>Missed call...</i>

121
00:12:53,859 --> 00:12:54,979
<i>Director Jiang.</i>

<i>The number you have dialed is
unreachable. Please leave a message...</i>

123
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,960
Director Jiang,
I'm Nymda, the teacher.

124
00:13:05,032 --> 00:13:06,992
We'll arrive in Lhasa a little later.

125
00:13:07,116 --> 00:13:09,356
Don't forget about our air tickets,
room, and board.

126
00:13:09,414 --> 00:13:13,174
Yes! Don't forget about
our air tickets, room, and board.

127
00:13:13,392 --> 00:13:16,912
You sound
just like our teacher Nymada!

128
00:14:49,090 --> 00:14:52,010
How many people are on this thing?

129
00:14:52,196 --> 00:14:54,956
Thupten, how many people
are on this thing?

130
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:59,670
Three others, not including us.

131
00:14:59,779 --> 00:15:01,779
Where are you going?

132
00:15:01,951 --> 00:15:03,631
We are going to be on TV.

133
00:15:03,711 --> 00:15:05,551
TV! Which station?

134
00:15:05,647 --> 00:15:07,927
An arm's length away!

135
00:15:07,976 --> 00:15:10,816
Don't tell him!

136
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:45,095
Kelasang!

137
00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:46,140
Kelasang!

138
00:15:46,215 --> 00:15:48,655
Teacher Nymda
has come to stop us! Run!

139
00:15:48,704 --> 00:15:49,824
Kelasang!

140
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:51,195
Wait!

141
00:15:51,271 --> 00:15:52,791
Kelasang!

142
00:15:57,359 --> 00:15:58,399
Kelasang!

143
00:15:58,459 --> 00:16:00,899
To Lhasa! Lhasa.

144
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:07,751
Teacher Nymada has come to stop us!

145
00:16:08,195 --> 00:16:10,155
If we take the bus to Lhasa,

146
00:16:10,239 --> 00:16:12,519
Teacher Nymda is sure to catch us.

147
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,840
The cart flipped over,
and then we couldn't get on the bus.

148
00:17:47,967 --> 00:17:50,847
I had never been
on these roads before.

149
00:17:51,062 --> 00:17:53,062
What if we went the wrong way?

150
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,760
I didn't want this responsibility.

151
00:17:59,755 --> 00:18:01,235
I'm tired.

152
00:18:10,187 --> 00:18:11,387
Search for a location or address.

153
00:18:11,418 --> 00:18:14,272
Selected location. Lhasa.
From Shigatse. Destination.

154
00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:16,006
Current position. Shigatse area.

155
00:18:16,051 --> 00:18:18,491
Thupten, tell us
what road we should take?

156
00:18:28,830 --> 00:18:30,270
Maybe this way.

157
00:18:30,363 --> 00:18:32,243
Then we'll follow you.

158
00:18:32,442 --> 00:18:34,802
It's too far. Let's go back.

159
00:18:36,579 --> 00:18:37,579
Thupten!

160
00:18:37,714 --> 00:18:38,914
Thupten!

161
00:18:41,140 --> 00:18:43,820
Don't you want to play
the eagle flute with us on TV?

162
00:18:47,251 --> 00:18:49,091
Please, Thupten, take us there.

163
00:18:49,185 --> 00:18:50,625
Let's go.

164
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,680
There's a big river next to us!

165
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,160
We know.

166
00:19:38,042 --> 00:19:39,002
Hurry up!

167
00:19:39,097 --> 00:19:41,137
Brother Thupten wait for us!

168
00:19:42,384 --> 00:19:44,864
You can see things! But we can't!

169
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,000
Come on.

170
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,560
I can't walk anymore.

171
00:20:24,612 --> 00:20:27,332
Thupten, do you see a bridge?

172
00:20:51,791 --> 00:20:53,151
Yes.

173
00:20:53,725 --> 00:20:54,885
But...

174
00:20:54,958 --> 00:20:57,038
Let's go another way.

175
00:20:57,140 --> 00:20:59,680
Are you scared of the bridge?

176
00:20:59,885 --> 00:21:01,925
I'm not scared!

177
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,160
Thupten, wait for us!

178
00:21:08,829 --> 00:21:10,509
Come with me.

179
00:23:01,862 --> 00:23:03,702
Oh, no! Who just fell down?

180
00:23:03,756 --> 00:23:05,596
Brother Sonam?

181
00:23:05,692 --> 00:23:07,976
-Brother Sonam?
-I'm okay!

182
00:23:08,130 --> 00:23:09,450
I'm okay too.

183
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:11,039
Thupten? Brother Thupten!

184
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:12,440
Brother Thupten!

185
00:23:12,508 --> 00:23:13,828
Brother Thupten!

186
00:23:13,895 --> 00:23:15,055
Thupten!

187
00:23:15,123 --> 00:23:16,443
Thupten!

188
00:23:16,512 --> 00:23:24,472
Thupten!

189
00:23:39,527 --> 00:23:41,647
Kelasang,
can you lend it to me to play?

190
00:23:41,703 --> 00:23:43,423
I won't give it to a coward!

191
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,000
If you could see that big river
you'd have been scared too.

192
00:23:58,212 --> 00:24:00,412
We will definitely
make it to Shenzhen.

193
00:24:01,377 --> 00:24:03,577
Then everyone will love me back home.

194
00:24:03,767 --> 00:24:05,487
Then everyone will love me back home.

195
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,360
I'll play some beautiful music
on the piwang ''Tibetan fiddle''.

196
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:11,279
The guests will give me many hadas
''Tibetan ceremonial scarves''.

197
00:24:11,957 --> 00:24:13,597
I can exchange them for some cash.

198
00:24:13,738 --> 00:24:18,818
Five yuan for a whit one and
twenty for a yellow one.

199
00:24:22,425 --> 00:24:25,010
I want everyone in the village
and my grandma...

200
00:24:25,087 --> 00:24:27,407
To see me on TV singing.

201
00:24:41,792 --> 00:24:43,232
Droma,

202
00:24:44,176 --> 00:24:45,616
In your entire life,

203
00:24:45,723 --> 00:24:48,923
Being able to weave
this cloth is good enough.

204
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,000
<i>Director Jiang,
I'm Nymda, the teacher.</i>

205
00:25:23,675 --> 00:25:25,040
<i>You don't need to come and pick us up.</i>

206
00:25:25,147 --> 00:25:26,707
<i>We'll arrive in Lhasa a little later.</i>

207
00:25:26,807 --> 00:25:29,007
<i>Don't forget about our air tickets,
room, and board.</i>

208
00:25:29,108 --> 00:25:33,668
<i>Yes! Don't forget about
our air tickets, room, and board.</i>

209
00:25:41,134 --> 00:25:43,534
<i>Sorry, the subscriber
you dialed is powered off.</i>

210
00:25:43,611 --> 00:25:45,731
<i>Please try again later.</i>

211
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,840
Director Jiang called us.

212
00:26:32,497 --> 00:26:34,897
Hello, Director Jiang.

213
00:26:34,973 --> 00:26:36,000
Hello.

214
00:26:36,053 --> 00:26:37,213
<i>I'm...</i>

215
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,120
Teacher Nymda.

216
00:26:39,368 --> 00:26:41,768
We've run into some difficulties.

217
00:26:42,387 --> 00:26:43,827
Mr. Jiang, our cart flipped over!

218
00:26:43,888 --> 00:26:46,208
-We nearly fell into the river.
-Kelsang. Be quiet!

219
00:26:46,275 --> 00:26:47,920
<i>Stop shouting! Stop it!</i>

220
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,200
Hello? Who are you?

221
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,156
-<i>I'm Sonam.</i>
-Sonam?

222
00:26:52,192 --> 00:26:53,872
No, no. Sorry.

223
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,459
I'm teacher Nymda.

224
00:26:55,514 --> 00:26:56,577
Teacher Nymda?

225
00:26:56,681 --> 00:26:57,921
Hello?

226
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,200
The battery's dead.

227
00:28:03,864 --> 00:28:04,904
Hello?

228
00:28:04,959 --> 00:28:06,600
<i>Hello, director.</i>

229
00:28:06,647 --> 00:28:08,127
I just want to check with you.

230
00:28:08,210 --> 00:28:10,330
Was it a bunch of kids
who got in touch with you?

231
00:28:10,401 --> 00:28:12,121
Or was it a teacher?

232
00:28:12,786 --> 00:28:15,680
How can I remember
every single detail!

233
00:28:15,762 --> 00:28:17,322
You'll find out when you meet them!

234
00:28:17,419 --> 00:28:19,139
<i>Don't forget,
if there are any problems...</i>

235
00:28:19,214 --> 00:28:20,936
<i>I'll hold you responsible!</i>

236
00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:22,390
Idiot!

237
00:28:22,451 --> 00:28:24,651
Director, here.

238
00:28:52,471 --> 00:28:53,871
Brother Sonam!

239
00:28:59,347 --> 00:29:01,427
I really can't walk anymore.

240
00:29:02,594 --> 00:29:04,994
Have we gone the wrong way?

241
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,720
Let's go back.

242
00:29:20,827 --> 00:29:22,427
No, we can't go back.

243
00:29:22,536 --> 00:29:25,496
If we don't go back,
we'll be eaten by wolves!

244
00:29:28,024 --> 00:29:30,864
Kelsang!
You said Thupten could take us there.

245
00:29:31,042 --> 00:29:33,402
There are no more roads left to take.

246
00:29:33,842 --> 00:29:35,962
You said Director Jiang
would pick us up.

247
00:29:35,988 --> 00:29:37,168
Make him come and pick us up.

248
00:29:37,277 --> 00:29:39,637
Director Jiang said
he would meet us in Lhasa.

249
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,239
My battery is dead. I can't call him.

250
00:29:42,364 --> 00:29:45,924
You said Director Jiang
would pick us up.

251
00:29:46,296 --> 00:29:47,456
Go ahead and argue about it!

252
00:29:47,496 --> 00:29:49,656
-I'm going back!
-Thupten!

253
00:29:49,797 --> 00:29:50,877
Thupten!

254
00:29:51,076 --> 00:29:52,316
Thupten!

255
00:29:52,391 --> 00:29:54,231
Droma! Kelsang! Don't let him go!

256
00:29:54,322 --> 00:29:55,722
Let me go.

257
00:29:55,796 --> 00:29:57,682
-Thupten!
-Don't get angry.

258
00:29:57,741 --> 00:29:59,061
Come on! Go with us!

259
00:30:00,277 --> 00:30:01,557
Thupten!

260
00:30:09,955 --> 00:30:12,040
I never wanted to be on TV anyway.

261
00:30:12,112 --> 00:30:13,632
I'm just your guide.

262
00:30:13,722 --> 00:30:15,522
Now I can only see from one eye.

263
00:30:15,597 --> 00:30:18,677
Maybe I'll even lose sight
in that eye tomorrow.

264
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,536
If you take us there,
you can play my eagle flute.

265
00:30:21,608 --> 00:30:23,048
Let me go.

266
00:30:23,122 --> 00:30:25,362
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

267
00:30:25,434 --> 00:30:27,034
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

268
00:30:27,153 --> 00:30:29,605
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

269
00:30:29,657 --> 00:30:30,697
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

270
00:30:30,754 --> 00:30:34,394
Brother Sonam!

271
00:30:34,548 --> 00:30:40,108
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

272
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:49,340
-Thupten!
-Brother Sonam!

273
00:30:59,445 --> 00:31:00,725
I need to file a report!

274
00:31:01,342 --> 00:31:02,422
What's the problem?

275
00:31:03,013 --> 00:31:04,069
Calm down. Slow down.

276
00:31:04,106 --> 00:31:06,146
A teacher from a school
for the blind and a bunch of kids...

277
00:31:06,229 --> 00:31:07,669
Seem to have had an accident.

278
00:31:08,569 --> 00:31:09,849
Sorry, who are you?

279
00:31:12,937 --> 00:31:14,097
Kelsang, here.

280
00:31:18,258 --> 00:31:19,578
Sonam, for you.

281
00:31:21,014 --> 00:31:22,094
Where are you going?

282
00:31:22,185 --> 00:31:23,975
An arm's length away!

283
00:31:25,067 --> 00:31:26,480
To sing on TV.

284
00:31:26,834 --> 00:31:27,834
Really?

285
00:31:27,989 --> 00:31:29,760
I love singing too.

286
00:31:31,399 --> 00:31:33,319
Then why don't you come with us!

287
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,240
Yes, you can see.
You can take us there.

288
00:31:36,302 --> 00:31:37,422
I can see too!

289
00:31:37,530 --> 00:31:39,650
Didn't you say you weren't going?

290
00:31:40,534 --> 00:31:43,814
Thupten, let Wangdu
take us there. Okay?

291
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:47,190
You go with him.
I don't want to go anymore.

292
00:31:49,962 --> 00:31:51,082
Thupten,

293
00:31:51,116 --> 00:31:52,716
Don't get angry.
Let's all go together.

294
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,000
I'm going back.

295
00:31:55,445 --> 00:31:56,365
Thupten!

296
00:31:56,453 --> 00:31:58,113
Thupten, Thupten, Thupten!

297
00:31:58,193 --> 00:31:59,833
Thupten, Thupten, Thupten!

298
00:32:00,357 --> 00:32:02,197
Thupten, Thupten!

299
00:32:02,579 --> 00:32:04,779
Thupten, Thupten, Thupten!

300
00:32:04,858 --> 00:32:06,258
Thupten!

301
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:09,291
You can't just leave like this.

302
00:32:09,373 --> 00:32:11,013
You're came together as a group

303
00:32:11,077 --> 00:32:12,437
You should all stay together
as a group.

304
00:32:12,533 --> 00:32:13,653
Isn't that right?

305
00:32:34,481 --> 00:32:36,721
Thupten's always changing his mind.

306
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,320
Wangdu can take you there.

307
00:32:41,905 --> 00:32:44,585
I can't go.
I have to look after my cattle.

308
00:32:46,796 --> 00:32:48,116
My father said...

309
00:32:48,315 --> 00:32:49,675
When they're grazing...

310
00:32:49,735 --> 00:32:51,575
You must not lose a single cow.

311
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,520
It's the same for you.

312
00:32:57,115 --> 00:32:59,275
You must stick together too.

313
00:33:49,982 --> 00:33:51,302
I can hear a plane.

314
00:33:51,443 --> 00:33:52,563
No! NO, that's not a plane!

315
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:54,039
It's a tank!

316
00:33:54,117 --> 00:33:57,317
Thupten! What can you see? Tell us!

317
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:14,970
Are you going to rob us?

318
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,200
Do you want to rob us?

319
00:34:19,142 --> 00:34:20,822
Where are you going?

320
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:23,137
We're going to Lhasa.

321
00:34:23,932 --> 00:34:26,492
We are going in a different direction.

322
00:35:53,972 --> 00:35:55,400
Is this you in the photo?
Look at it carefully.

323
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:56,647
Yes it is.

324
00:36:00,479 --> 00:36:01,519
Chief!

325
00:36:01,641 --> 00:36:03,041
We just spotted
a group of motorcycle bikers

326
00:36:03,118 --> 00:36:04,278
carrying some kids.

327
00:36:08,776 --> 00:36:10,756
They just crossed over
the Lhasa bridge.

328
00:36:10,813 --> 00:36:12,413
They'll arrive in the city very soon.

329
00:36:15,078 --> 00:36:16,238
Let's go!

330
00:37:36,521 --> 00:37:39,801
Lhasa! Lhasa!

331
00:38:35,443 --> 00:38:37,363
Which one of you is Teacher Nymda?

332
00:38:37,852 --> 00:38:39,600
I'm not teacher Nymda.

333
00:38:39,677 --> 00:38:41,557
My name is Sonam.

334
00:38:41,688 --> 00:38:43,608
You did a good impression!

335
00:38:43,740 --> 00:38:45,340
I can play the piwang
''Tibetan fiddle''.

336
00:38:47,930 --> 00:38:50,810
I'm Droma. I can sing.

337
00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:53,669
I'm Kelsang.
I can play the eagle flute.

338
00:38:55,113 --> 00:38:56,433
I'm Thupten.

339
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,480
I'm their guide.

340
00:39:03,543 --> 00:39:04,623
Teacher Nymada is coming!

341
00:39:04,683 --> 00:39:06,763
Run!

342
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,880
Where are you going?

343
00:39:43,372 --> 00:39:45,732
Get out of the way!

344
00:39:46,792 --> 00:39:49,512
Move to the side!

345
00:40:00,714 --> 00:40:01,914
Where are you going?

346
00:40:02,064 --> 00:40:03,304
Mount Everest!

347
00:40:03,521 --> 00:40:04,681
Why are you here? It's the wrong way.

348
00:40:04,746 --> 00:40:06,066
We brought the kids here!

349
00:40:07,053 --> 00:40:08,013
Come on!

350
00:40:08,262 --> 00:40:09,422
Go!

351
00:40:09,948 --> 00:40:11,988
The police are going to arrest us!

352
00:40:14,403 --> 00:40:16,683
Do you have any free lawyers here?

353
00:40:16,752 --> 00:40:18,992
You can't arrest us. We're just kids!

354
00:40:23,883 --> 00:40:25,843
Let's discuss this some more.

355
00:40:25,953 --> 00:40:27,153
We can't go.

356
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:29,600
How can I change your mind?

357
00:40:30,333 --> 00:40:31,453
In Tibet...

358
00:40:31,524 --> 00:40:33,224
there are many kids who can sing.

359
00:40:33,319 --> 00:40:35,039
But your kids really want to go.

360
00:40:35,133 --> 00:40:36,183
Why are you taking them?

361
00:40:36,226 --> 00:40:38,106
Because you feel sorry
for these blind kids?

362
00:40:38,208 --> 00:40:39,928
Because if they sing more people
will watch your show?

363
00:40:40,014 --> 00:40:41,574
How can you say that?

364
00:40:42,063 --> 00:40:44,143
I just want to cure Thupten's eye.

365
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:46,990
He's about to lose sight in that eye.

366
00:40:49,814 --> 00:40:51,254
I want to go!

367
00:40:52,939 --> 00:40:55,259
What are you saying?
You're going back with me.

368
00:40:55,908 --> 00:40:57,748
But we're already in Lhasa!

369
00:40:57,861 --> 00:40:59,021
I'm not going back!

370
00:40:59,096 --> 00:41:00,416
Neither am I!

371
00:41:01,215 --> 00:41:02,815
You have to go back!

372
00:41:04,107 --> 00:41:05,947
Wait! Not so fast!

373
00:41:06,069 --> 00:41:08,749
Come on. Give it some more thought!

374
00:41:11,825 --> 00:41:14,425
The kids want to sing.
It's their dream.

375
00:41:15,213 --> 00:41:17,013
I'm their teacher!

376
00:41:17,210 --> 00:41:19,810
We should help kids
make their dreams come true!

377
00:41:20,797 --> 00:41:22,877
A piano! I'll give you a piano.

378
00:41:23,283 --> 00:41:24,403
What? Are you trying to bribe me?

379
00:41:24,459 --> 00:41:25,419
Here, look!

380
00:41:25,764 --> 00:41:27,004
I meanlisten!

381
00:42:02,733 --> 00:42:04,233
Has the plane taken off?

382
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,160
I don't know. It's just as noisy as
riding on a Harley Davidson.

383
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:12,639
There are so many clouds out there.

384
00:42:12,687 --> 00:42:14,287
I saw clouds before.

385
00:42:14,686 --> 00:42:16,286
They're fluffy like cotton.

386
00:42:16,325 --> 00:42:17,525
White and soft.

387
00:42:17,588 --> 00:42:19,908
All different kinds of shapes.

388
00:42:20,364 --> 00:42:21,664
After we arrive in Shenzhen,
where do you want to go?

389
00:42:21,704 --> 00:42:22,684
I can take you around.

390
00:42:22,739 --> 00:42:24,339
I've been Shenzhen.

391
00:42:25,165 --> 00:42:26,485
Really? Where else have you been?

392
00:42:27,379 --> 00:42:29,779
Well, I went to Europe.

393
00:42:29,836 --> 00:42:31,636
And America too.

394
00:42:34,775 --> 00:42:36,065
I see, Then let's talk about TV.

395
00:42:36,121 --> 00:42:37,921
Maybe you don't know much
about TV stations.

396
00:42:38,011 --> 00:42:39,571
I've been on TV before.

397
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,400
What are you in charge of
at the TV station?

398
00:42:46,937 --> 00:42:49,177
Well.. just about everything.

399
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,640
But mainly I have to look after
the performers.

400
00:43:01,781 --> 00:43:04,181
We're as high as the clouds
and the snow-covered mountains.

401
00:43:04,583 --> 00:43:08,383
Director Jiang,
how high are we flying?

402
00:43:08,478 --> 00:43:10,308
We're about ten thousand meters up.

403
00:43:10,381 --> 00:43:11,861
How high is ten thousand meters?

404
00:43:12,012 --> 00:43:12,942
Ten thousand meters?

405
00:43:12,991 --> 00:43:14,631
As high as ten thousand of you.

406
00:43:33,062 --> 00:43:34,662
Wow, it's so hot!

407
00:43:34,805 --> 00:43:38,045
It feels so sticky and
the air smells salty.

408
00:43:38,380 --> 00:43:39,980
You're now by the ocean.

409
00:43:40,065 --> 00:43:43,585
Wow, the ocean! As big as a washbowl!

410
00:43:44,761 --> 00:43:47,001
There are so many houses.

411
00:43:47,076 --> 00:43:48,436
I also see so many boats.

412
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:50,700
Really? What else?

413
00:43:53,871 --> 00:43:55,871
And so many cars!

414
00:43:55,994 --> 00:43:57,314
Big ones and small ones!

415
00:43:57,407 --> 00:43:59,607
So many I've never seen before!

416
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:02,620
Hey kids, welcome to Shenzhen.

417
00:44:03,550 --> 00:44:04,790
Has the director been
getting impatient?

418
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,000
I don't know.

419
00:44:09,064 --> 00:44:10,104
Hey kids!

420
00:44:10,278 --> 00:44:11,478
Desire to Sing

421
00:44:11,583 --> 00:44:13,823
Now your dreams are
going to come true!

422
00:44:16,619 --> 00:44:17,979
Here's a pear for you.

423
00:44:18,041 --> 00:44:19,561
Thanks!

424
00:45:08,692 --> 00:45:11,212
Stop it!

425
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,520
Stop!

426
00:46:17,104 --> 00:46:18,464
Same as before!

427
00:46:20,059 --> 00:46:22,139
Cancel this act!

428
00:46:23,146 --> 00:46:24,266
Hi, Director...

429
00:46:24,988 --> 00:46:26,108
I'm back.

430
00:46:33,169 --> 00:46:35,089
Hey, are they able to sing now?

431
00:46:35,139 --> 00:46:36,439
-Of course.
-Okay, let's hear you sing!

432
00:46:36,491 --> 00:46:37,371
Okay.

433
00:46:37,429 --> 00:46:39,909
Ready, kids!
Don't be shy. You'll be great.

434
00:46:40,122 --> 00:46:41,962
The director's here with you now.
Impress her!

435
00:46:42,649 --> 00:46:44,329
But aren't you the director?

436
00:46:52,549 --> 00:46:54,349
Try your best！

437
00:46:54,479 --> 00:46:56,079
We are going to be on TV, right?

438
00:46:56,119 --> 00:46:57,399
Yes, you'll be on TV.

439
00:46:57,460 --> 00:46:59,340
You can give me your canes.

440
00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:04,199
Get ready!

441
00:47:04,575 --> 00:47:06,095
Where is the director?

442
00:47:07,413 --> 00:47:08,493
Over here.

443
00:47:08,749 --> 00:47:09,829
Get ready!

444
00:47:11,602 --> 00:47:12,722
Start!

445
00:47:13,052 --> 00:47:16,892
<i>Spin to the right the way
a peacock turns,</i>

446
00:47:16,961 --> 00:47:19,481
<i>Spin to the left the way
a laughing thrush turns,</i>

447
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:21,233
-Kelsang, let me play the flute.
-No!

448
00:47:21,287 --> 00:47:22,967
I want to be on TV.

449
00:47:23,469 --> 00:47:24,509
Thupten!

450
00:47:24,581 --> 00:47:27,840
<i>Spinning, spinning to the left,
a silver ring you'll win.</i>

451
00:47:27,901 --> 00:47:29,181
Thupten!

452
00:47:30,541 --> 00:47:31,741
Kelsang!

453
00:48:14,093 --> 00:48:15,293
Stop!

454
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:20,080
Only her.

455
00:49:13,037 --> 00:49:14,837
It's all Thupten's fault.

456
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,280
Why'd you grab my eagle flute!

457
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,840
You promised me I could play it.
We're already in Shenzhen!

458
00:49:21,886 --> 00:49:23,446
Stop arguing!

459
00:49:28,221 --> 00:49:30,661
Brother Sonam didn't sing.

460
00:49:30,723 --> 00:49:32,563
He just wanted us to sing.

461
00:49:32,893 --> 00:49:35,173
Droma was also wrong

462
00:49:35,324 --> 00:49:37,844
She left us and went on TV by herself.

463
00:49:42,269 --> 00:49:43,429
Boss...

464
00:49:45,636 --> 00:49:48,716
I understand. More people
will watch this program.

465
00:49:50,885 --> 00:49:52,045
Don't worry.

466
00:49:52,101 --> 00:49:54,741
We know how to promote it.

467
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:58,440
Director.

468
00:49:58,625 --> 00:50:01,465
Please let all of my kids
perform on TV.

469
00:50:02,789 --> 00:50:04,869
Boss, I need to take care
of a matter here.

470
00:50:04,942 --> 00:50:07,342
May I call you back a bit later?

471
00:50:07,375 --> 00:50:08,215
Director...

472
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,040
Please let my kids all perform on
TV together.

473
00:50:13,153 --> 00:50:15,193
They came together as a group.

474
00:50:15,584 --> 00:50:16,824
Yesterday,

475
00:50:17,255 --> 00:50:19,175
Director Jiang promised us they could.

476
00:50:19,769 --> 00:50:21,129
He's the director?

477
00:50:27,237 --> 00:50:28,477
I'm sorry.

478
00:50:28,740 --> 00:50:31,420
We have certain rules on our program.

479
00:50:31,894 --> 00:50:33,694
I can't make an exception.

480
00:50:34,216 --> 00:50:35,696
Hey, director!

481
00:50:37,141 --> 00:50:38,221
Okay, then...

482
00:50:38,402 --> 00:50:40,282
I don't need that piano.

483
00:50:40,820 --> 00:50:42,380
What piano?

484
00:50:48,247 --> 00:50:49,927
Come quick.

485
00:50:49,986 --> 00:50:52,066
This way please.

486
00:50:56,163 --> 00:50:59,763
<i>What a fantastic performance
from the last group!</i>

487
00:50:59,823 --> 00:51:02,623
<i>Coming up next
is a very special contestant.</i>

488
00:51:02,717 --> 00:51:05,997
<i>A blind girl
who has come all the way from Tibet.</i>

489
00:51:06,146 --> 00:51:07,706
<i>Please welcome...</i>

490
00:51:17,601 --> 00:51:20,161
Our next contestant to the stage,
Droma!

491
00:51:45,532 --> 00:51:46,972
What's wrong with her?

492
00:51:49,546 --> 00:51:51,466
Hey, what's the matter with her?

493
00:52:08,303 --> 00:52:11,103
<i>Move on to
the next group of contestants!</i>

494
00:52:17,090 --> 00:52:18,530
Droma, what happened?

495
00:52:20,043 --> 00:52:21,723
Droma, what happened?

496
00:52:22,064 --> 00:52:23,304
What's the matter?

497
00:52:24,209 --> 00:52:25,249
Droma!

498
00:52:25,471 --> 00:52:26,431
<i>Focus the spotlight...</i>

499
00:52:26,501 --> 00:52:27,941
<i>To the marked spot on the stage.</i>

500
00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:38,580
Director,
please give her another chance.

501
00:52:39,934 --> 00:52:41,674
I know they have a special situation.

502
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:42,720
What do they want?

503
00:52:42,812 --> 00:52:45,677
I can try to help them out
so they get what they want.

504
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:47,800
They just wish to perform on TV.

505
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,020
I already gave them a chance.

506
00:52:50,123 --> 00:52:52,323
She didn't sing.
What can I do about it!

507
00:53:42,051 --> 00:53:43,091
Droma!

508
00:53:43,675 --> 00:53:45,995
Droma!

509
00:53:49,498 --> 00:53:50,978
Let's go back!

510
00:53:58,957 --> 00:54:01,557
It was my fault
we fell apart as a group.

511
00:54:01,764 --> 00:54:02,604
In the city,

512
00:54:02,667 --> 00:54:07,107
those with sight
could be just as lost as the blind.

513
00:54:07,644 --> 00:54:11,204
Even though sister Droma was blind,

514
00:54:11,347 --> 00:54:13,987
Her heart knew this world even better.

515
00:54:33,489 --> 00:54:35,009
Why didn't you sing?

516
00:54:38,648 --> 00:54:40,448
We are just like that herd of cows.

517
00:54:41,319 --> 00:54:42,479
What cows?

518
00:54:43,449 --> 00:54:45,409
Just like Wangdu's cows.

519
00:54:46,604 --> 00:54:48,084
Who is Wangdu?

520
00:54:49,181 --> 00:54:51,101
Wangdu was right.

521
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:54,574
A single cow must not leave its herd.

522
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,760
The four of us
came together as a group.

523
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,000
If I'm the only one
to sing on stage...

524
00:55:00,919 --> 00:55:02,119
It's not right.

525
00:55:05,074 --> 00:55:06,954
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

526
00:55:08,243 --> 00:55:09,443
It's not your fault.

527
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,560
If they want to sing,
they can sing anywhere.

528
00:55:14,848 --> 00:55:15,968
Let's go back!

529
00:55:38,176 --> 00:55:39,296
In the past...

530
00:55:39,732 --> 00:55:41,572
I participated in a piano competition.

531
00:55:42,378 --> 00:55:43,498
I came in first place.

532
00:55:44,582 --> 00:55:45,742
But I thought...

533
00:55:45,810 --> 00:55:47,770
Someone else
deserved to come in first.

534
00:55:49,634 --> 00:55:51,274
I only won because I was blind.

535
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,160
Too much sympathy
is the same as prejudice.

536
00:55:59,514 --> 00:56:00,754
Maybe...

537
00:56:01,768 --> 00:56:03,128
You're being too sensitive.

538
00:56:04,685 --> 00:56:06,165
Just like these sunglasses you wear.

539
00:56:07,184 --> 00:56:09,064
You don't really need them at all.

540
00:56:10,226 --> 00:56:11,906
But wearing them is just a habit.

541
00:56:12,205 --> 00:56:13,885
It's a way of protecting yourself.

542
00:56:14,094 --> 00:56:15,454
No, that's not right.

543
00:56:15,642 --> 00:56:18,162
The reason you wear sunglasses...

544
00:56:19,301 --> 00:56:20,800
Is also...

545
00:56:20,902 --> 00:56:22,382
So that others...

546
00:56:22,612 --> 00:56:24,532
Can't see the expression in your eyes.

547
00:56:25,338 --> 00:56:26,698
In this way...

548
00:56:26,962 --> 00:56:28,762
We're all just the same.

549
00:56:31,759 --> 00:56:35,000
We all live together
in the same world.

550
00:57:05,671 --> 00:57:06,831
Look at them,

551
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:10,140
They're so happy now.

552
00:57:10,733 --> 00:57:12,653
They're so carefree.

553
00:57:13,608 --> 00:57:15,368
Sometimes,

554
00:57:15,849 --> 00:57:18,809
We should be more like
children ourselves.

555
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:40,560
The ocean!

556
00:57:41,175 --> 00:57:43,135
So salty!

557
00:57:43,272 --> 00:57:46,352
It really is salty.

558
00:57:46,484 --> 00:57:47,644
The ocean!

559
00:57:47,718 --> 00:57:50,480
As big as a washbowl!

560
00:57:50,773 --> 00:57:59,973
The ocean!

561
00:58:02,230 --> 00:58:03,230
Thupten!

562
00:58:03,324 --> 00:58:05,684
I'm right here!

563
00:58:07,752 --> 00:58:11,392
Look inside and
you can see a world beyond your eyes.

564
00:58:13,155 --> 00:58:14,595
Let me see.

565
00:58:14,696 --> 00:58:15,936
Where is it?

566
00:58:18,195 --> 00:58:19,338
I want to see.

567
00:58:19,549 --> 00:58:21,069
-Let me see first.
-Let me see!

568
00:58:21,219 --> 00:58:21,999
Stop it! Stop it!

569
00:58:22,059 --> 00:58:24,019
-Let me see first!
-Let me see!

570
00:58:25,798 --> 00:58:28,998
Kelsang, what happened?

571
00:58:29,054 --> 00:58:31,254
Kelsang!

572
00:58:33,224 --> 00:58:34,624
What happened?

573
00:58:34,919 --> 00:58:36,479
Why are you grabbing it?

574
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,438
-You can't even see.
-I can see!

575
00:58:39,368 --> 00:58:40,408
What are they saying?

576
00:58:42,550 --> 00:58:43,670
Red!

577
00:58:44,457 --> 00:58:45,657
Yellow!

578
00:58:48,238 --> 00:58:49,358
Green!

579
00:58:50,876 --> 00:58:52,076
White！

580
00:58:53,216 --> 00:58:54,496
Really?

581
00:58:59,392 --> 00:59:00,752
Can you see anything?

582
00:59:04,816 --> 00:59:05,976
Yes, I can!

583
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,320
I can see myself playing
the eagle flute!

584
00:59:46,374 --> 00:59:48,960
Thupten?

585
00:59:50,020 --> 00:59:51,500
I can't see anything!

586
00:59:51,581 --> 00:59:53,861
-Thupten!
-I can't see anything!

587
00:59:53,912 --> 00:59:54,792
Thupten!

588
00:59:54,857 --> 00:59:56,857
What happened to him?
Why can't he see now?

589
01:00:28,227 --> 01:00:29,707
We'll do the operation today.

590
01:00:30,927 --> 01:00:33,327
Dr. Zhang, thanks for making
a special trip here.

591
01:00:33,385 --> 01:00:34,625
Sure, don't mention it.

592
01:00:59,570 --> 01:01:00,610
Who's there?

593
01:01:07,945 --> 01:01:09,105
Kelsang.

594
01:01:10,536 --> 01:01:12,456
I promised
when we arrived in Shenzhen...

595
01:01:13,286 --> 01:01:16,006
I'd let you play my eagle flute.

596
01:01:19,991 --> 01:01:22,631
I'm giving it to you now.

597
01:01:22,913 --> 01:01:25,633
I don't want it.
I don't know how to play it.

598
01:01:32,508 --> 01:01:36,428
My grandfather and father
were both blind.

599
01:01:37,046 --> 01:01:40,566
We can all play the eagle flute.

600
01:01:41,757 --> 01:01:43,557
I'll teach you how to play too.

601
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,880
After your eyes are fixed,

602
01:01:49,193 --> 01:01:50,793
Let's go home together.

603
01:02:18,567 --> 01:02:19,767
We all know...

604
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,280
daylights is very long in Tibet.

605
01:02:24,566 --> 01:02:26,086
Ultraviolet light is very strong.

606
01:02:26,936 --> 01:02:30,616
Therefore the prevalence of
cataracts is very high.

607
01:02:30,664 --> 01:02:32,104
It's also hereditary.

608
01:02:34,091 --> 01:02:35,491
In the examination this time...

609
01:02:36,663 --> 01:02:39,543
We found the cataract crystals had
shifted in Thupten's eye.

610
01:02:40,091 --> 01:02:42,451
When we had examined him
several days ago...

611
01:02:42,676 --> 01:02:44,716
This had not yet occurred.

612
01:02:45,098 --> 01:02:48,178
It must have been caused by
some external factor.

613
01:02:48,622 --> 01:02:50,102
Can you tell me...

614
01:02:51,092 --> 01:02:53,012
Did anything recently
happen to Thupten?

615
01:02:53,217 --> 01:02:54,257
He...

616
01:02:54,454 --> 01:02:57,840
He did roll down
the hill on his trip here.

617
01:02:58,940 --> 01:03:01,300
They said their cart had flipped over.

618
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:02,560
Dr. Zhang...

619
01:03:02,857 --> 01:03:06,137
The operation will be successful,
right?

620
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,520
If he doesn't have
the operation now...

621
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,520
Then he'll go completely blind, right?

622
01:03:12,630 --> 01:03:13,670
Yes, that's right.

623
01:03:14,184 --> 01:03:15,224
Very soon.

624
01:03:15,594 --> 01:03:17,714
What's the chance
this operation will be successful?

625
01:03:18,375 --> 01:03:20,055
I'm afraid it's hard to say.

626
01:03:20,845 --> 01:03:24,245
Thupten needs this operation
immediately.

627
01:03:25,883 --> 01:03:28,883
I want to think it over.

628
01:03:28,947 --> 01:03:29,907
What?

629
01:03:31,348 --> 01:03:32,228
If...

630
01:03:32,737 --> 01:03:34,337
If it's really so risky...

631
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,360
Then it's better for him
not to have surgery.

632
01:03:40,219 --> 01:03:42,819
Although we're blind...

633
01:03:43,142 --> 01:03:44,742
We can get used to it.

634
01:03:44,884 --> 01:03:46,484
If he has some hope...

635
01:03:47,485 --> 01:03:49,045
But then the operation fails,

636
01:03:49,195 --> 01:03:53,035
That's just too cruel for a young boy.

637
01:03:54,257 --> 01:03:55,777
I want to see.

638
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,000
I want to see again.

639
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,680
I want the operation.

640
01:04:18,789 --> 01:04:19,909
Nymda...

641
01:04:22,007 --> 01:04:24,447
Is there anything else
I can do to help?

642
01:04:26,423 --> 01:04:28,423
You've already done a lot for them.

643
01:04:29,063 --> 01:04:31,023
Thank you so much, Director Jiang.

644
01:04:34,135 --> 01:04:35,775
Don't keep calling me "director."

645
01:04:36,906 --> 01:04:38,026
Actually...

646
01:04:40,863 --> 01:04:42,303
I'm just a director's assistant.

647
01:04:44,735 --> 01:04:46,055
I'm just a loser.

648
01:04:47,210 --> 01:04:49,170
You truly wanted to help the kids.

649
01:04:50,109 --> 01:04:51,709
I can feel that from my heart.

650
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,080
Director Jiang...

651
01:05:01,501 --> 01:05:03,341
Let's play a game, okay?

652
01:05:03,663 --> 01:05:05,783
Squat down.

653
01:05:13,257 --> 01:05:15,177
Keep walking. No peeking.

654
01:05:28,441 --> 01:05:29,601
What does it feel like?

655
01:05:29,712 --> 01:05:30,832
Well...

656
01:05:30,896 --> 01:05:32,536
Do you feel scared?

657
01:05:32,795 --> 01:05:33,955
I...

658
01:05:34,833 --> 01:05:36,473
Keep on walking.

659
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,520
Before I was five I could still see.

660
01:05:46,931 --> 01:05:48,531
Just like you.

661
01:07:08,809 --> 01:07:10,009
How does it feel?

662
01:07:11,965 --> 01:07:13,725
If that's how you felt
your whole life...

663
01:07:14,831 --> 01:07:15,991
What would you do?

664
01:07:20,155 --> 01:07:21,835
But I'm not blind.

665
01:07:23,469 --> 01:07:26,109
You told me to bring them here.

666
01:07:26,837 --> 01:07:29,157
It's already so late!

667
01:07:31,077 --> 01:07:32,237
I know.

668
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,040
Today Thupten's only eye...

669
01:07:37,546 --> 01:07:38,826
went blind.

670
01:08:01,023 --> 01:08:02,543
They're not looking for sympathy.

671
01:08:03,434 --> 01:08:04,994
They just want to be given a chance.

672
01:08:42,742 --> 01:08:46,342
A single cow must not leave its herd.

673
01:08:46,445 --> 01:08:48,645
Do you feel scared?

674
01:08:48,686 --> 01:08:52,126
We all live together
in the same world.

675
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:56,428
I don't need that piano.

676
01:08:56,500 --> 01:08:59,540
Droma, what happened?

677
01:08:59,627 --> 01:09:01,427
Was it a bunch of kids
who got in touch with you?

678
01:09:01,508 --> 01:09:04,668
Or was it a teacher?

679
01:09:07,149 --> 01:09:14,629
Please let my kids all perform on
TV together.

680
01:09:54,568 --> 01:09:56,528
You're all done with the prep work,
right?

681
01:09:57,029 --> 01:09:59,909
There was another one like that,
I remember.

682
01:10:10,407 --> 01:10:12,647
<i>Good evening ladies and gentlemen!</i>

683
01:10:12,711 --> 01:10:16,911
<i>Welcome to Shenzhen TV's
"Desire to Sing".</i>

684
01:10:17,127 --> 01:10:19,087
<i>Next is a group of
very talented children.</i>

685
01:10:19,248 --> 01:10:22,284
<i>Their hearts are so pure and innocent.</i>

686
01:10:22,342 --> 01:10:25,262
<i>I believe during their performance...</i>

687
01:10:25,352 --> 01:10:27,552
<i>You will be moved...</i>

688
01:10:27,625 --> 01:10:28,985
<i>By their determination.</i>

689
01:10:29,052 --> 01:10:34,372
<i>Welcome the next group of contestants
to the stage!</i>

690
01:10:52,147 --> 01:10:53,427
<i>These contestants standing next
to me...</i>

691
01:10:53,483 --> 01:10:55,923
<i>have come from a place very faraway.</i>

692
01:10:55,994 --> 01:10:57,394
<i>They are from
the snow-capped mountains...</i>

693
01:10:57,448 --> 01:11:00,088
<i>more than a thousand miles away.</i>

694
01:11:00,246 --> 01:11:01,606
<i>Because of their dream...</i>

695
01:11:01,711 --> 01:11:03,860
<i>Even the highest mountains...</i>

696
01:11:03,948 --> 01:11:06,288
<i>Couldn't stop them
from being here tonight.</i>

697
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,040
<i>Now let's hear more about their dream!</i>

698
01:11:10,124 --> 01:11:13,004
<i>What is their dream?</i>

699
01:11:14,638 --> 01:11:15,798
<i>Here, Sister Droma.</i>

700
01:11:19,498 --> 01:11:21,040
<i>I'm Droma.</i>

701
01:11:21,122 --> 01:11:22,162
<i>I...</i>

702
01:11:37,022 --> 01:11:39,982
<i>We come from a school
for blind children in Tibet.</i>

703
01:11:40,086 --> 01:11:41,606
<i>We want to perform on TV...</i>

704
01:11:41,699 --> 01:11:46,979
<i>To show that blind people...</i>

705
01:11:47,668 --> 01:11:49,948
<i>can do more than weave at home...</i>

706
01:11:50,064 --> 01:11:52,024
<i>or only give massages..</i>

707
01:11:52,045 --> 01:11:56,245
<i>or repeat day after day
at a school for the blind.</i>

708
01:11:56,580 --> 01:11:58,100
<i>We just want...</i>

709
01:11:58,987 --> 01:12:02,227
<i>Everyone to see that we can sing.</i>

710
01:12:02,308 --> 01:12:04,428
<i>We want to dedicate this song...</i>

711
01:12:04,525 --> 01:12:06,605
<i>To our best friend Thupten.</i>

712
01:12:06,671 --> 01:12:08,831
<i>We hope he'll be able to see
this world again.</i>

713
01:12:09,674 --> 01:12:11,154
Brother Sonam?

714
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,360
<i>Now let's give the stage
to our contestants.</i>

715
01:12:18,438 --> 01:12:22,798
<i>Let's listen to their song form Tibet.</i>

716
01:12:30,570 --> 01:12:32,970
Director, you were looking for me ?

717
01:12:33,469 --> 01:12:34,640
This is your act.

718
01:12:34,751 --> 01:12:36,111
You give the signal.

719
01:12:36,657 --> 01:12:37,697
Me?

720
01:12:38,930 --> 01:12:40,410
I'm giving you a chance.

721
01:12:43,613 --> 01:12:44,653
Thank you, director!

722
01:12:46,573 --> 01:12:48,253
Everybody please get ready!

723
01:12:48,585 --> 01:12:49,785
Action!

724
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:38,560
<i>Tibetan azalea, your radiance is
eternal like the sun.</i>

725
01:13:39,453 --> 01:13:47,493
<i>White Tibetan hada, flowing eternal
like the Yangtze River.</i>

726
01:13:49,279 --> 01:13:57,919
<i>Under the snow-covered mountains,
we all keep warm together.</i>

727
01:13:58,860 --> 01:14:07,700
<i>On the Tibetan plateau,
our dream is to touch heaven.</i>

728
01:14:24,428 --> 01:14:33,428
<i>I pray for you to see the light again.</i>

729
01:14:34,440 --> 01:14:43,080
<i>I pray for you to recover soon.</i>

730
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:53,360
<i>I pray to see your bright smile again.</i>

731
01:14:54,049 --> 01:15:03,289
<i>I pray you'll forever be our eyes.</i>

732
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:45,160
<i>Tibetan azalea, your radiance is
eternal like the sun.</i>

733
01:15:45,245 --> 01:15:54,760
<i>White Tibetan hada, flowing eternal
like the Yangtze River.</i>

734
01:15:54,941 --> 01:16:04,501
<i>Under the snow-covered mountains,
we all keep warm together.</i>

735
01:16:04,885 --> 01:16:14,725
<i>On the Tibetan plateau,
our dream is to touch heaven.</i>

736
01:16:26,470 --> 01:16:35,670
<i>I pray for you to see the light again.</i>

737
01:16:36,178 --> 01:16:45,298
<i>I pray for you to recover soon.</i>

738
01:16:45,984 --> 01:16:55,304
<i>I pray to see your bright smile again.</i>

739
01:16:55,961 --> 01:17:05,201
<i>I pray you'll forever be our eyes.</i>

740
01:17:05,367 --> 01:17:17,007
<i>I pray for a better tomorrow
for us all.</i>

741
01:19:08,176 --> 01:19:09,216
This time,

742
01:19:09,264 --> 01:19:12,304
all of their dreams finally came true!

743
01:19:12,464 --> 01:19:14,184
And then my dream was only this:

744
01:19:14,249 --> 01:19:16,369
To take them back home!

745
01:19:42,424 --> 01:19:44,984
We've come here today...

746
01:19:45,014 --> 01:19:47,694
to sing for all of you.

747
01:19:47,778 --> 01:19:51,138
Please enjoy the music
from deep inside our hearts.

748
01:19:51,220 --> 01:19:54,280
Line up here at this yellow line.
Line up over here.

749
01:19:55,642 --> 01:19:58,722
We're from a blind school
in Lhasa, Tibet.

750
01:20:02,365 --> 01:20:03,965
What will you perform today?

751
01:20:04,022 --> 01:20:05,142
A choral ensemble.

752
01:20:05,251 --> 01:20:12,451
A choir. Okay, we will listen closely
to the music from the Tibetan plateau.

753
01:20:14,846 --> 01:20:18,646
<i>The heavenly love of our parents</i>

754
01:20:18,694 --> 01:20:21,974
<i>Are devoted to their children</i>

755
01:20:22,110 --> 01:20:25,790
<i>As long as children are content</i>

756
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,440
<i>Their parent's wishes are fulfilled</i>

757
01:20:29,497 --> 01:20:33,057
<i>They fear their children are
too hot in the summer</i>

758
01:20:33,135 --> 01:20:35,895
<i>they fear their children are
too cold in the winter</i>

759
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,720
<i>Just as long as their children
are happy</i>

760
01:20:39,780 --> 01:20:43,300
<i>Their parent's wishes come true</i>

761
01:20:43,367 --> 01:20:46,767
<i>Oh, children. Oh, Children</i>

762
01:20:46,817 --> 01:20:49,977
<i>When will you grow up
to take good care of your parents?</i>

763
01:20:50,067 --> 01:20:53,667
<i>Oh, children. Oh, Children</i>

764
01:20:53,745 --> 01:20:57,185
<i>When will you grow up
to take good care of your parents?</i>

765
01:20:57,216 --> 01:21:00,336
<i>The heavenly love of our parents</i>

766
01:21:00,447 --> 01:21:04,047
<i>Are devoted to their children</i>

767
01:21:04,662 --> 01:21:07,022
What's the name of this song
in Chinese?

768
01:21:07,117 --> 01:21:09,477
Our Parent's Heavenly Love.

769
01:21:10,224 --> 01:21:13,704
<i>As long as children are content</i>

770
01:21:13,789 --> 01:21:16,869
<i>Their parent's wishes are fulfilled</i>

771
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,160
<i>Oh, children. Oh, Children</i>

772
01:21:20,213 --> 01:21:23,573
<i>When will you grow up
to take good care of your parents?</i>

773
01:21:23,654 --> 01:21:27,134
<i>They fear their children are
too hot in the summer</i>

774
01:21:27,185 --> 01:21:30,105
<i>they fear their children are
too cold in the winter</i>

775
01:21:30,206 --> 01:21:33,006
<i>Just as long as
their children are happy</i>

776
01:21:33,081 --> 01:21:36,401
<i>Their parent's wishes come true</i>

777
01:21:36,525 --> 01:21:41,685
<i>Their parent's wishes come true</i>

778
01:21:46,284 --> 01:21:49,444
These children's heavenly voices
touched our hearts so much.

779
01:21:49,501 --> 01:21:51,501
I am extremely moved by
their performance.

780
01:21:51,571 --> 01:21:53,893
Actually I think that
these special children's mind...

781
01:21:53,937 --> 01:21:56,431
are far more natural pure
and vast than ours.

782
01:21:56,457 --> 01:22:00,337
Their voices are the sound of heaven.

783
01:22:00,428 --> 01:22:03,668
<i>Their parent's wishes come true</i>

784
01:22:03,752 --> 01:22:07,592
<i>Their parent's wishes come true</i>

785
01:22:11,487 --> 01:22:19,257
"This film is dedicated to
the dreams of blind children in Tibet."
