Original subtitles

He had a nightmare again?

I can't sleep either

He is so little. It is horrible to live with them

Can't we hide him at the neighbour's place?

Don't be silly, mom

Your son will go crazy

He will pull down our house

Let him drink more milk tomorrow morning then

There will be nothing over there

I don't like to sleep

Sleeping takes time off life

And I will have nightmares like that

So I aIways fake sleeping

Then I heard adults talk about topics I shouldn't know

Like my uncIes say...

These two generations are the most unfortunate

After one hundred years or so

Computers can save human memories

Then inject into a new born baby

People won't die then

I think that is possible

When I think about such a major issue, I can hardly sleep

Grandma took me to a fortune-teller,

who said I will only survive for thirty years

Not sure if enough for me to finish university,

get married and have a baby

She cries every time they talk about this

She is a tough woman

Single handedly raised seven kids

They say when I was born...

Mom, come to see your grandchild

Boy or girl?

Girl, of course

Let me finish washing cIothes first

Mom, I am just kidding. It is a boy!

What?! Why are you here? People may swap our baby

My parents are so generous

Grandma likes me, so they gave me to her

Until my younger brother is born

They get me back as a baby-sitter and servant

Saying it is time to train me up

The first grandchild of Wan family is weak

Get all kinds of disease

Measles, asthma, whooping cough

Makes everybody busy, especially grandma

The earliest memory of my life is like this...

They said I am a clever kid

But even if I am a dumb

I can tell who love me the most in this world

Grandma, when I grow up, I will carry you to see the doctor

When you grow up, grandma can die with peace

Why do you want to die?

I don't want to, but everybody has to

Will I die too?

You are still young, have a long way to live

Only old people die?

Grandma, where will you be after death?

I will go to hell

Maybe to meet your grandpa

I have never seen grandpa

Is he dead?

I am not sure. I haven't seen him for a long time

Grandma, if you go to see grandpa...

I can't see you any more

Grandma, why can't you live forever?

Good boy, don't cry

I don't want to leave you either

How about this... grandma can teach you a way

So that we can see each other after death, okay?

Grandma, I go to find granny Erhu

You should play with her more often

I am afraid of darkness, but we live at the 4th floor attic

The stairs are dark even in the daytime

Every step is different

But I memorize them all

Rushing down with my eyes closed. Then I will not be so scared

I can't let the adults laugh at me

One catty of White Rabbit candy

Alright

Granny Erhu is great. She can neither hear nor speak

But she is here everyday, playing wonderful music

Granny Erhu is a beggar. Grandma tells me not to give her money

Buy her food instead and she will be more joyful

Ivan, let's go to play

Then, one day...

I never ask grandma again, because I already understand

One day she will leave me too

Amid the fear of grandma's mortality

We, my brother and I, have grown up

And it is time to leave grandma

Moving to Hong Kong with parents

I can't bear to part, but I am excited about the new life

I also feel stronger

No longer afraid to be bullied by my barbaric parents

Can't you just fold the quilt after you get up?

We got to unfold it again when we go to bed, so why the trouble?

Isn't it better to be neat and tidy?

You can fold your quilt if you like, we don't need that

I wonder how you can go to bed without taking a bath, I just can't

Perhaps you are dirtier than us

How can you speak to your mom this way? You are a bad model

Just like the damn oId rogue, aIways walk away when scolded

Even the oId rogue couldn't stand her

He told me a secret when he left

That my brother may not be his son

Let's go to Victoria Park. I want to swing

He really doesn't resemble me at all

Learn swimming first. Is your swimming trunk on?

No

Anyway, what is the difference? I don't feel I am his son either

Our mighty and everlasting Lord

Affiliate with the humanity of dead appear on us, your one and only son

Revive us with his immortal new light

Our mighty and everlasting Lord

Make where the death occur, also where the life revive

Our mighty and everlasting Lord, rescue us from eternal death

Resurrected from the dead, bestows us eternal life

Our mighty and everlasting Lord

We praise you all times

Naturally

Somehow, I have joined a mission school

I have special feelings towards this topic

To me, that is the most useful knowledge we learn in school

The others, after examinations,

I don't think they are of much use in the rest of my life

Speaking of the rest of my life, my time may be less than others

Are you fifteen?

Sixteen, just passed the birthday

Less than a half is left

I suddenly started writing a diary

Somebody might reconstruct my memories, someday after my death

Then I can reborn

Hey boy, that is enough for your whole life

Five dollars each

Here, sixty dollars

Though the chance is close to zero

Unless I have great achievements in my life

And become a celebrity to be remembered

Come on Ivan, we are leaving

I got to finish my work. I will join the night snack

You have to pay your share then

That's fine

Hey Ivan, later

Hey don't stay so late man, you are killing my image

Take care and good-night

My deadline is approaching. I must work to my best

Let my parents regret despising me and not letting me go to university

Let grandma be proud of me

That kid is workahoIic

Yeah, he works on weekends too

See he doesn't have much time for a girlfriend

Oh maybe he is targeting Miss Universe

Isn't your daughter graduating from LA sometime soon?

Finally I have got my own premises

Nobody would order me to be neat and tidy here

I can get naked anytime anywhere

I admit that I have a bit of narcissism and exhibitionism

I enjoy freedom, can't stand fetter

I am no longer afraid of loneliness and darkness

I am afraid of nothing, and that feels great

But...

Can I be not afraid of death?

Welcome to "Go for IT" again, I am Neng Chan

We have got two IT x-gens here

Would you guys introduce yourselves?

I am Ivan, from Times Digital

I'm Josh Aviv, Magical Software, from Israel

Oh, now we will go bilingual

Can you tell us how long you've been in the industry?

5 years

15 years

Wow, you look younger than that

I didn't go to university

And started working when I was still in secondary school

It's like Bill Gates

Well, except that he had a rich father to support him

The young men get on well, and I will translate later

Go on guys, I don't exist

Are you gay?

Excuse me?

Ivan, you heard me. Are you gay?

I...is this relevant... relevant to our topic?

Sure, I mean, people like us find it very hard to keep girlfriends

Cos' they don't understand our passion with computers

So are you gay?

Hey, that's my question

Yeah, right

Well, I don't think so

Think?

No, I mean, no...

I have never had sex with a man, okay?

Okay

But I do have friends who are gay

And have no problem with them whatsoever

Well, well, well...

That's a standard answer from the celebrities, right?

Two handsome guys aren't an item yet, but stay tuned

We will be back after a brief commercial

Sometimes I go to gym six days a week

Boxing is my second hobby

Since I have not been dating, people begin to think I could be gay

So I must look more masculine

I can't accept being sissy

I don't understand why they have markets

For guys who love a sissy, shall we call them gay or straight?

Thanks

I have promised to come, I told you

I have to work, I have no choice

Ivan

Windson

Hey Vincent

Ivan?

I haven't seen you before. Are you a new member?

Yes

You must have exercised for long?

Looking so fit

You are not bad either

Which level of tae kwon do?

Black belt, level one only

You are a boxer too?

Yes. I usually play boxing and Thai boxing

I plan to learn them

We should learn from each other some day

How about now? Do you have any appointment?

I have a date tonight. Let's do it next time. Deal

Nice to meet you

We work in the same field

Oh really?

Software or hardware?

Oh, you are from Times. We can cooperate then

Combining hard and soft, like fighting with two swords

I...parked my car here. Shall I give you a ride?

No, thanks. Bus stop is over there. Bye

You didn't ask me where we are going?

Your choice

Have faith in me?

Sure. Why not?

At least, I have faith in the car

Are you a car fan?

Men love this kind of car

We can go farther then

When we arrive at Sai Kung, I will let you drive

Great!

So your name is Windson

I didn't realize until seeing your name card

You drive like a lunatic too

I am the son of wind

My Chinese name is also Wind

Matching your surname Cloud

The Storm Riders

You are Wind

You are Cloud

One more thing we match each other

Nobody around in midnight, dare to skinny-dip?

Sure, why not?

You'd seen my everything in sauna room anyway

You were showing off

You were peeping

It is my turn tonight

Not bad

Yours better

How can you tell? By points?

No, I mean...

At the sauna, you already knocked me out

You are absolutely my type...

Or I wouldn't be so aggressive...

Actually...

When you began to chat with me, you were so polite

I thought you were a missionary

You know, people in HK seldom communicate with others

You are so nice

I am flattered

But I think there is a misunderstanding between us

Weren't you approached by guys before?

Maybe...

But I...wouldn't sense...

You have never mentioned your girlfriend, I thought you are single

She is in mainland China

Hutchison 369 channel

Mr. Lin said, "Ivan, I am sorry

I am not experienced. I don't know how to react

Please forgive me

Take care. Windson"

Ivan, I need a partner for Latin dance lesson. Can you help me?

Maybe it is because of Windson

Or curiosity, even vanity

She is the most proud girl in the company

And I say yes eventually

How can I put on such clothes?

Latin dance is like that. Move on

Oh no

Oh yes

Sir

This is Henry. This is Ivan

-Hi -Hi

Ivan, did you learn Latin before?

No?

That is perfect

I will teach you Rumba later, very romantic

Just a moment

Your turn

What? Me?

Of course

Do you want to be a man or a lady?

Man

Dancing is weird

Strangers become lovers. Lovers become couples

Couple becomes enemies

It depends on your objective

Think it over before you start

Why don't you drink?

Cheers, for cooked food

Yeah, cheers!

-Be quick -You two really can drink

Dancing is weird...

Almodovar

One moment

Cooked food...

-Don't you feel hot? -Hot

-Take off your clothes -Okay...

-I will do it myself -Why are you so nervous?

Let a girl to take the initiative, aren't you a man?

Wait for me. I need to use the washroom first

Wait again? For what?

Wait for me at room

-No -I will come in soon

-You drink too much as a dancer -Can you handle this at all?

Handle what?

Is it necessary to cry like that? Just because of no sex...

What about me then?

We didn't make it even being drunk like that

Naturally nothing happen afterwards

But she purposely makes people speculate there is something between us

Sorry Jasmine, I will get back to you on this

Ivan, you know this is important

I do

What?

You asked me to do it

And I did. See

Ivan

Miyoshi

Please take a seat

I will talk to you later

Until a terrible thing happens...

4/26/1994

China Air Airbus A300 crashed in Nagoya Airport

All 264 passengers on board died

Sister...why?

This experience is too profound

It makes me recognize that life can be so vulnerable

Is there anything really under our control?

Almost none

Eva seems to get some inspiration from it too

After we return to Hong Kong...

Let's break up

Have we been together?

Sorry about that, get you to accompany me for so long

Anyway, thanks for being my dancing partner

That is my pleasure

But, why did you pick me?

Actually, I am a lesbian. I have girlfriend

You can understand, right?

I don't understand

Why do they all have girlfriends?

Hey, a straight guy here

Could he be an undercover cop?

I didn't say that

I just said I had never had sex with a man

What about you?

Cosmo please

I do have friends who are gay, but...

I don't have problems with them at all

How could you tell back then? Do I look gay?

Not the gay that they can recognize

But for us, we've got gaydar

You know what? It is actually my first visit to a gay bar

Really? No wonder...

I've been searching for you for weeks

Thank god! Ain't I lucky?

Perhaps, I am the lucky one

Things happen without a sign

That is life

I know more about myself after this experience

And I have got a sincere friend

We are more than sex partners, but I can't say that is love

It is something in between, a kind of comfortable relationship

Hello?

Ivan, this is Windson

How are you?

Fine, I am...fine

What are you doing?

I...

I am shopping with a friend

Let's come out and have some fun

What fun? Okay

Ivan, I have thought about it for long

I don't want to lose a good friend because of misunderstanding

Good friend?

We have only met twice

Ivan, I am not expressive

Okay. I will call you later

Your dream boy, eh?

The gym boy, the straight guy

He is dating you out again?

Sort of, yeah

So, what are you waiting for?

Me?

Oh no. You know I am going back to Tel Aviv next week

I'll miss you always but you need someone else to hug

I love you. I will live to see you again

That's a deal

Leave it to me. Go! Go!

Good luck, mate!

Hey, let's fight on the raft

Okay. Let's go!

Let's take a rest

In my childhood I lived on a roof, watching these stars every night

Making wishes?

Never

Can't depend on God, I rely on myself

What were you thinking about then?

I thought...

Why does the universe have no beginning, no ending and no boundary?

I thought...

Why are we born, and die after only decades?

What is the cause? What is the meaning?

I thought...if we have to die anyway

How can I make the best out of a limited life?

I am not as sophisticated as you

I just do my job, treat my family and friends well

Then I can die with no regrets

A young man with lofty ideals

You mean I am naive?

I want to be naive too

Simple and no worries

I wish I can just freeze this moment

Until the end of my life

You said you never make wishes

Hey, that is new. What is it?

Can you get a towel? You are on screen

He can't see anything

This guy is hot, who is he?

Forget it, he is my brother

See? We don't look like brothers at all

People may think we are a couple

Oh my god! I can't date girls then

Can't live without girls?

Well...no...

Hi

Is this Indian your gay friend?

What Indian? You don't know how to appreciate a man

Hey, did he say I am ugly?

No no no, you are as cute as ever

But we have the opposite appetite in everything

My brother is so handsome

His friend must be good looking too

Cut that. Take care of your girl

Enjoy yourself

He got drunk with his girl last night, and stay over at my place

You really get on well with straight guys

How's your luck bending the rod... your dream boy?

Nah, he wouldn't let me touch him

Otherwise it has been pleasant though

There is no policeman here

You are so good at finding such remote locations

I like no man's land

I enjoy doing something unique

Have you thought about where we will be after death?

You love to talk about death

Well, you won't die

Your name is Windson, pronounces like "eternal life"

Oh, thank you

But I don't expect a long life

I just want to be free. Even in death...

Be free too?

Yes

Sea burial suits me

All my friends can swim

They can visit me anytime

Somebody's coming!

You said nobody comes to this beach

Don't have to be so scared

I know you don't care, but...

I do

Boys, never mind!

You are so open-minded

Oh. You suffer it reluctantly

Let me call the police

It is you I am suffering from

They are so in love. I admire them

Old freak!

Crazy woman

Hey. You should choose fine sand

Without the shells

With the shells?

Without

Throw that away

It is all over the beach. You do it yourself

We must choose it anyway

Be quick. It is going to rain

By the way, is it illegal to steal sand?

I don't care

You don't care about anything

Even getting naked in front of an old woman

Even an old man, I don't care

Okay. Fixed

This sandbag is so heavy

Luckily there is an extra manpower

What a view!

The attic is perfect. We can practice boxing every night

Let me take a bath first

What is there to see, man?

You have got everything yourself

It is really a nice place

Can I move in?

As you see, I live alone

I want to buy an apartment too

So that I can spare my parents from public housing

But the price is so high. And my salary is just...

I can help you

Thanks. But as you said...

A man should rely on himself

Now I can only afford an apartment in China

China? Living with your girlfriend?

I can spare a room for you, then we can drink and practice boxing together

No way

I said something wrong again

Let's try the sandbag

Good

It is my job to hand you towel, boss

Damn it!

It would be great if I met you earlier

Then you would like men instead of bitches

Will I?

Why not give it a try?

Don't be silly

It is late now. You can stay over tonight

Well

But there is only one bed, we have to sleep together

No problem

There is one thing...

I sleep naked. You must do so too

You are such an erotomaniac

Okay, but you promise, not to touch me

Deal

One, two, three

Be a passenger

I let you win

We do things even some couples can't do

But we can't do what they must do

We don't know how far this road will lead us

But we are happy to keep on

Isn't life like that too?

1994, Senna died racing at San Marino Talents always die young Maybe they will get bored by living too long

1995, Bill Gates becomes the richest man on earth

This is a beach for gay, Lots of people during the day

I heard that

Have you heard a straight guy can turn gay?

I heard that too, but I don't believe it

Actually, gay is outstanding

Remember the theory of mutation?

I don't read much. Don't lie to me

That's curriculum of secondary school. Lazy student

Review that for me then

Listen

According to the evolutionism

in any large tribe, there is a minority out of ordinary

They will be repelled and suppressed by the mainstream

They can survive only if they are more brilliant

Eventually, their merit will spread out and become mainstream

Then a cycle of evolution is completed

You mean...

Gay is a merit and everybody will become gay one day?

Exactly

By the advancing of science

We even have test tube babies now

The vanishing function of heterosexual reproduction could be a sign...

I suppose you are right

You are outstanding, but...

You are still a minority now and should be suppressed by me

I will beat you up first

How dare you

Are you crazy?

Crazy

Run?

I'll catch you

I am sorry

No, I am the one who should apologize

It might be a retribution

My desire for Windson is becoming unbearable

And he has been accommodating

Came?

Shoot whatever you like. Just don't put it on the net

He has something in his mind recently and goes to China often

Sometimes I think he may be avoiding me

Ivan

Windson is not home

I know

Are you waiting for him?

He didn't say when he will be back

No girl has ever waited for him like that

It would be great if Ivan were a girl

No way

Why not?

I often go to China too, visiting grandma

Her senile dementia is getting serious and may not recognize people later

So I hurry to take someone for her to see

Try to be natural, grandma is very smart

I try my best

You are worse than Margaret Thatcher

Uncle

Ivan

This is Eva

Hello

Grandma

Aren't you dead?

How do you come back?

Oh, you died so miserably

They tortured you so bad...

But now you have come to grandma

Nothing to fear anymore

Grandma owns a street in HK. You won't be poor

Can you leave me a house?

Grandma, this is Eva

An aunt?

Which aunt? So young

Aunt hasn't come. I am Ivan's girlfriend

Ivan? (Cantonese: Lean to tomb)**

Ivan is my English name

Since when have you got such an ill-omened name?

So this aunt is my granddaughter-in-law?

This is the happy day I long for

A wedding gift for you

Thanks grandma

You are Welcome. Treat yourself a can of black water

Black water means Coke

My good grandson, your choice sucks

Why, grandma?

She hasn't look into your eyes since she came in

She doesn't love you

This woman is a trollop

You shouldn't marry her

I give up

Li Ao has written:

Love when we have the feelings, and then take a trip

We are given a chance to a business trip

So nice, both mountain and sea view

That is a lake

There is a saying: "The savant loves the mountain, the wise loves the sea"

So I heard

My name contains the sea...

And yours implies mountain

Well? Just the opposite then

I am not as smart as you, but nicer

You mean you love me

Damn it. You got me again

Is there a way I can really get you?

Hey, you have reaction. You can make it

No way

I can feel that

Maybe it is the same skin

Kelly doesn't have big tits, the feel of touching you is similar

Nobody is here. Why don't we try?

That is a different thing. Don't force me. I will do it if I can

Just the two of us, like in a movie, without any extra

Because it is raining

Have you watched "Lonely Mountain, Holy Rain" by King Hu?

You talk about movies more than computers now

I have never liked computers

You only like me

Be polite! People here are well-behaved

Cut a pear means separate

Sorry

So you are superstitious

I didn't notice that

I am not

But when I was a kid, grandma said...

Now I know she was right

She is still waiting for you

You didn't teach me how to find you again

I should come back more often

You come back every month already

When she could still walk, and have sense

She cried every time she saw me away

I once considered maybe it is better that I don't come back

Luckily you didn't do so

For every of your return

She could predict it

What a magic power

Now, no longer bounded by the body, her power must be even stronger

She will protect us

Especially you

Though I am well prepared, I still can't let go

I don't think she is gone

She lives whenever we think about her

I stay only two days for her funeral

And let my relatives take care of the rest

I work in daytime as if nothing happened

But collapse at night

Is it hemp?

You're grown-up. Don't cry

She can't come back to life

Restrain your grief and accommodate the change, right?

It is sad exactly because she can't come back to life

What kind of condolence is that?

You know I am rustic

Now it is your turn to comfort me

Who can't come back to life this time?

You are such a...

I am getting married

Married?

You have been telling me you don't want to

Sometimes we must do things we don't want to

We have to break up if we don't get married

Get married or break up, are you crazy?

Kelly and I have been together for long

But every time I see her, we are like criminals

We can't even go to hotel because they don't admit unmarried couples

If the police break in, they will charge me visiting a prostitute

How can that be a reason to marry?

I reckoned you won't understand. You are unrestrained

As a man, I have to get married and raise a family someday

As a man!

Sorry

Don't misunderstand me

We are different. I can't meet your expectation

But I respect you as my best friend

You...

Can do things you don't want to for others

Just can't do it for me

Ivan, don't force me

You know how I feel about you

Besides that, I can even die for you

So to stay with me is worse than death

You are nonsense again. Troublesome as a fucking bitch

Why do you have to tell me that...

At such moment?

It is the last hurdle

Ivan, you can do it

Hey mate, you are still alive! Happy birthday!

Oh...hi, how are you doing?

Fine. Are you okay?

You sound drunk, must had a big celebration

Yeah, big, big...

How are you doing?

Well, I have got some holidays left, shall I fly over?

Yeah

Good

But I have a better idea

Yes?

I will go to Israel, see you

Oh great! I'll wait for you here then

Take care, and don't get yourself too drunk

Bye

Bye

My 30th birthday, that I planned to celebrate with Windson in Japan

Hey, handsome man, we are not open yet

Okay, now we open. Take a seat first

Would you like a drink?

I'll have a bear, please.

Just a moment.

Came here before?

No

Where do you come from?

I' m from Hong Kong

Enjoy

Show time, are you ready?

Ivan, could you do me a favor?

Ivan, Windson is not home

Take a seat, Ivan

Windson went to Mainland China

Your cough is serious, aunt

Pneumonia, lung water, so much phlegm

Windson asked me to take you to a doctor

That silly boy

I have seen many doctors

There is no cure to my problem

But it is nothing, anyway

Ivan, do you know any specialist?

Yes

I have made an appointment with Dr So, a famous oncologist

That is great

I am having pneumonia, not lung cancer

Don't be stubborn! Ivan has his network, he can help us

The weather is so strange nowadays

Yes, the earth is changing

People are changing too. There was no such thing as cancer before

I merely ate a preserved apricot

Then I got this endless cough

It is not because of preserved apricot, aunt

What else then?

I don't smoke. Dad doesn't smoke

And Windson doesn't smoke

He does

Really?

I haven't seen him smoke at home

You know him better than us

Tell him don't smoke too much then

But that may not matter at the end

Look at me, smoking or not, dying the same

It is not that easy to die, aunt

I am not afraid of death

Windson will take care of his dad anyway

And with friend like you

But I am reluctant to go

I work hard all my life, and as soon as it is getting easier

The end is ahead. Anyway

Aunt, you will recover, believe me

Ivan, don't try too hard

I don't want you to spend your hard earned money

All on the elderly

But haven't you spent all your money on us?

That's also true, so you should appreciate your life

Don't imitate the girl of today's headline

Just had a quarrel with her boyfriend

Then she jumped from a roof. How stupid!

I heard this cinema is going to end its business

Old stuff won't last

Have you watched Cantonese opera here?

Sure. Many years ago, the artists were so great

Am I hopeless?

And you are coming to me just for fun? You look fine

Sure, I can still cook

Just a bit hard to breathe when climbing up stairs

I cough a lot too

Let's do a check up

Madam, would you wait outside for seconds?

I have a few words with your son

Oh. Thank you

This young man is marvelous

To be honest, half of her lung isn't functioning

And the other half is full of lung water

It is a miracle that she can make it this far

She has been healthy. Never get sick

We don't have much choice now

Except a new medicine from Australia

It is tablet. No side effect. Worth trying

But so expensive that we are reluctant to mention

I don't care about the cost. Just use my credit card

But don't let mom know the amount

She is lucky to have a son like you

Tang Mui. You may go now

This doctor is different, must be very expensive

Not really. He said you are cute and gave us 50% off

Really? And you are my bonus son

I have a bonus mom too

Don't say money can't buy a life

The medicine makes aunt better

As her situation is stable, it is time to keep my promise to Josh

It's been a long time, buddy!

Yeah, good to see you again

Sorry to keep you waiting

Must be the security people, right?

Yes! They held me up for 2 hours asking dummy questions

Such as?

Such as what is your dad's name?

I was already reluctant to answer, and your grandfather's?

I said I hardly even know him, I don't even know where his grave is!

I warned you so

Yes, fortunately, otherwise I would be even trickier and be locked up already

Well we all know they can be real nasty

But when every life is at stake here,

nobody blame them for doing their job

Yes, I guess I will understand that in times, but, where are we going now?

Tel Aviv is just like Hong Kong, I am bringing you to Jerusalem

Great

Magnificent

The holy place for Christian, Islam and Jews

Look at all those graves

They were for the lucky ones

What do you mean?

The Mount of Olives is a very special place for the Jewish people

Why is it different to other places in Jerusalem?

For three thousand years, the Jewish people bury dead people here

The book of the prophesy said, people buried here will become alive first

When the end of the time comes

Interesting

Yeah

You know what this is?

Yeah, the Wailing

But I had only seen it on film

There is no film like life

Right

I can't believe it

Nobody can at the first sight of it. What attract you the most?

Everything is still, it is like a mirror

You know why? Because the water is so salty here that no fish can survive

No life in the sea at all

Dead Sea

Yeah, wanna dive in?

You bet

So Ivan, aren't you going to tell me

What happened at your birthday night, when I called you?

Oh yeah, so you noticed

You sound like you were about to jump from a roof

Oh my god, I did not have a webcam on the roof, did I?

So you were really...crazy fellow

Did you break up with him?

Just then,

Josh, you might have saved a life

I shouldn't have called you then

Why?

You have lost the love of your life. That is sad

But that also means you have had love

People who love you and loved by you so much

You think you have lost it, but you already own it forever

And you even want to give up such a life, why should one bother?

So Josh, tell me

Which refusal is worse?

A gay who doesn't like you, or a straight man who loves you?

So you think he loves you?

Think?

Oh I think...

I think we can talk about it on our way to Elat

Okay

But I don't want to go now

Ivan

Resistance to the new drug has happened

Nothing could control the cancer now

We have been discussing...

Prepared to give up

No way

Ivan, we appreciate what you have done for us

Like this first class room, costing thousands per day...

-Uncle -Cousin

Forget it. She is my mom too. I won't give up

I can't pay you back for a lifetime then

Then pay me the next life

Son, mark six!

Oh yes, aunt, we still got time to buy the lottery

Mom, tell us some numbers

Three

Seven

Twelve

Fifteen

Twenty

Twenty...

Twenty-one or twenty-seven?

Anyway

Buy both of them

We have been buying mark six for whole life

And for the first time ever, we won the third prize last month,

fifty thousand dollars

Windson

Yes

Treat Ivan to a dinner, anyway

Are you blood relatives to her?

I am her son

I am her adopted son

Your mom is not a Catholic

Can't be buried in the Catholic Permanent Cemetery

So that is the meaning of "Jesus gives you eternal life"

Yeh, many people join in for that piece of land

If you do mind the location, you can choose somewhere else

But they do have time limit. And you need to stand in the queue

Several years later, no land will be offered for coffins anymore

Is there any double room?

Mr. Lin, take your time

The most important things are pattern and comfortability

You can check that one too. Just be careful

This one has a nice pattern

But this is more spacious inside, we will take this one

All of you please turn around

Hey, turn around

We are doing the ceremony

Ivan

Aunt

Your adopted mom said that you are very nice

And always buy her Chinese opera tickets. Really good shows

She said you and Windson are best friends,

not even a storm can separate you

Brother, I need to borrow your car

When?

The 7th of July

Such a long lead time, must be something major?

Sort of...I am getting married

Married again?

Oh no, forget it... Haven't you been careful?

I don't know. She swears she had taken the pills

But anyway

You don't use condom, now you get the reward

Now I envy you

One more

One more. Closer please. Right

Everybody look here. Thank you

Thanks all of you

Done

Congratulations

There is even a baby guest

Now you are older than me

You are a man and I am still a boy

I have been lucky to be your brother

A boy or a girl?

Absolutely a boy

Can you teach him for me?

No way

But I don't mind naming him

There is something I want to tell you for a long time

Still something you haven't told me? Must be bad

First, you shouldn't let that Windson to stick with you for so long

He gets along with you for your money and influence

We are both straight, I know what is in...

And the second thing?

Eh,

Okay, though you don't fancy woman, you should have a baby

For what?

For your genes

You are so talented, shouldn't waste it

Brother, don't think that your son is your belonging

He has his own life. It is another life

Just like our father and us

I know

But we can somehow cheat ourselves,

as if our lives can extend beyond our death

Surely I will die earlier than you, you can be my extension then

Brother, do you know that...

When you told me you were gay, I felt like the sky fell down on me

You know you are my idol

There are so many gay idols, you just don't know

If the sky fell down on us, take it as a quilt

Your sister-in-law has a premature birth. Can you pick us up?

Which hospital?

No wonder when you were a baby,

grandma always worried about you being swapped

Was the environment similar?

Much worse, a mess!

In those days of political movement... I was so scared

You were my first baby and I didn't have enough breast milk

Luckily your grandma and aunt took you to Guangzhou

At least the facilities are better in the city

Where have you been? You are even later than us

I have to work

Go and see your wife

The son is more fun

But where does the son come from?

Wish she live well under there. I hope to see her, even in my dream

Ming Wah is not my home

But in these six years' time, it brought me hope and joy

All vanish now, no way to get them back

to legalize same sex marriage

the whole world is watching the same scene My difference is, my brother and his kids are watching from New Jersey

Leslie Cheung flew from the roof like a bird with no legs

We have no choice to our birth, but we can plan for our death

it is a Christmas and New Year without happiness

The Indian Ocean Tsunami killed over 200,000 people

People say life is like ocean, to me, ocean is more like death

No boundary, no beginning and no ending

Unknown and unpredictable

We were the elves from the ocean of death

Accidentally flushed to the shore and start an adventure

And that is life

Finally we all have to go back along the same path

The journey will be cut short if we take a wrong step

Even if we go straight forward, we will still reach the starting point

The road only seems to be long

It takes less time to complete than we would think

Hey

What the hell are you doing here?

Got to speak in English?

Why are you here? For a holiday?

IT Expo

Still doing the same job?

It is not easy for me to change

I am not like you. You are versatile

I have watched your baseball movie

No change, that means you are married

You still care about that

I don't like kids. I don't know how to teach them

Since dad was gone, I haven't gone back to Ming Wah

I moved to Mainland China

Working as a CTO in a Harbin company

You moved north 3000 km and I went south over 7000 km

We still can meet like this

May be it is arranged by mom

I haven't completed her order

I owed you a dinner

Anyway

Where is your wife? Not coming with you?

Did I say I have a wife?

Come on, tell me, who is the lucky one?

Sure, why not?

You know my wife very well, we have split though

Who?

You!

This is not a motor way

I haven't seen a policeman here. So free

Move here then

We came all the way from there, see?

It is so high up here, as if we can see the end of the world

This is the tallest apartment on earth

You always aim so high

We live only once. Higher and farther, less to regret

You have such high standards...

How can I be your target?

You are still robust

We can be dead, but not weak or old

All these years, we are tie

So I let you win for so long?

You must be kidding

Come on, a deciding game

I don't want you to lose. All right...

One. Two. Three.

Hi, I am Windson, how are you?

Hey, Jimmie, nice to meet you

He is my boyfriend, isn't he great?

Yeah!

If you don't mind, I'll ask you a question

Yeah, please, please

Are you gay?

No! He is not gay

His wife just got pregnant

Yeah

Okay, Jimmie, if you don't mind...

Can you tell me how long have you known Ivan?

Six years, I think but, may be even more

Can you please excuse me?

Can you hear that? Six years

I lost you for six years

We are at different path

You are gay. I am straight. Nothing we can do about it

Do you understand?

I don't want to hurt you. Understand?

Then do you understand that...

You are the love of my life?

You are the love of my life

I don't understand

Even if I do, I won't believe it

Let's get married then

Let's get married!

Hey, we can get married here, this is Australia

Hey Jimmie

Be our witness

Okay

Hey, let me get you some more beers to celebrate, yeah?

Look at you

Still like a kid

Can we be together again like before?

Believe me. You are the love of my life

If you don't believe it, I can't close my eyes when I die

A line of Lin Zhi Xuan's lyrics...

In a life, while something is gifted to you, something is taken away

As I am getting older, I begin to accept this

When I got the permanent residency of Australia, I thought...

It would be great if I can migrate all my relatives and friends here

Heavenly land, angel-like people

That is too good to be true

I end up in Hong Kong again

Director, may I have a short interview with you?

No problem

Any new movies?

Lately? I am working on two

One named "Amphetamine"

The second one named "Life of an Artist"

Are they art films?

Like those before, with lots of nudity?

Ivan, let's inspect your house

You should judge it by yourself then

So we are looking forward to your new production

No problem

This room is mine

A wealthy man's home indeed, even the closet is huge

You can sleep in it

It is really for somebody to sleep

My coffin, the resting place when I die

Every room has this design

We can live together after we die

No need to worry about getting lost and becoming a lonely ghost

Come and have a look

Excellent Fung Shui

No wonder Mr. Wan is always in good shape

You have good sense

Let's check out the garden

Windson Lin 1968-2007

Debate intensifies on cloning of human beings

The first black homosexual is elected as the American president

Australia the biggest energy export country, surpassing Saudi Arabia

Amphetamine becomes OTC medicine in Europe

All DNA codes are decoded Cancer is no longer a terminal disease

The average age of human being set to exceed 100

immediately acquires the largest market cap in the world

The Shanghai Composite Index breaks through 100,000 points

Excessive productivity leads the whole world to 3 days of working week

The last plane takes off from Maldives

Possibly by DNA variation caused by pollution, innumerable people suddenly become sterile

Scientists endeavour to get male pregnant to avoid human being become extinct within this century...

(13th June 2047) Ivan Wan 1966-2047

Let's play mahjong

I have to watch soccer. You three play first

Always the men's game

If mom was here, I won't care about you

Playing with mom? You will die losing

You died earlier than me, I suppose?

Hey, sister-in-law, isn't the time up for Ivan already?

Still three more days to go, I keep the count

I will be off the hook then

I will make some tea

Josh, I love to join your party there

but cannot leave my relatives and friends here behind

for they love me to death

Thank you for being such an enlightenment to my life

Having a friend like you has been my biggest achievement

I am dying to see you Ivan

Put it up

Can you give me a hand?

Okay
