[Episode 38]

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Yan. I'm Director Xiao's secretary.

Hello, is there something?

It's like this. Our Director Xiao saw your proposal today again.

He's really interested in your artist, Jiang Caiwei and her way of developing

so we're accepting your proposal and have a long term collaboration.

Is that so? This is great.

That... thank you. Help me thank Director Xiao.

Okay, you're welcome.

What's up?

- Good news. - What good news?

Do you remember Director Xiao?

- He's accepting our proposal. - Really?

He wants a long term collaboration.

Okay, let's eat. What do you want to eat?

Let me think. What was there?

Italian spaghetti. Why don't we eat Italian spaghetti?

Professor Auclair, when did you arrive?

Fei She'er is ill so I came back to visit him.

How come Fei She'er got ill?

It's nothing severe. He just has a cold.

I think it should be because he's always worried so he's recuperating at the hospital.

- Then... at the hospital— - If you came to visit Fei She'er then why did you come to my place for?

Xiaowo, go upstairs first. I have something to tell him.

Go ahead.

I'll go upstairs then. We'll met another day.

If you have time then tell Fei She'er that I'll go visit him.

Okay, I will tell him.

What is it? Tell me.

Zhenyan, it's hard for us to meet.

Can you not have a conflict with me?

It's not considered a conflict.

It's just that it's been so many years. I'm not used to having a dad.

I understand.

I will slowly strive to let you know my existence.

I came back this time for atonement.

You should tell my mom and not me for atonement.

Zhenyan.

How come you came?

How come you also came?

Who told you about this? Was it Gu Sheng?

I told her to tell me.

Where is she?

Zhenyan, Gu Sheng is your auntie.

No matter what, you should respect your elders. Forget it that you're not meeting me.

I'm here to visit your mom.

She has nothing to do with you.

Many years have passed but did you ever come to visit her?

Since you didn't

then from today on and in the future, you have nothing to do with her.

I hope you don't disturb her. Do you understand?

Zhenyan, it's been more than ten years. This is what I owe your mom.

Wu Zhe,

I came to visit you.

Look at Zhenyan, he grew up.

He's also a conductor now.

My old music friends

also recognition all his accomplishments.

For Zhenyan,

you feel proud and happy, right?

Yes,

you should be angry.

That year, if I wasn't that stubborn;

when you were leaving with Zhenyan,

I was so cruel and didn't even turn around, letting you guys leave.

If I stopped you during that time

and not let you leave with Zhenyan

then all of this wouldn't happen.

It's been so many years.

My heart never felt great.

to be in front of you and tell you

that you don't have to forgive me.

My conscience

was never at ease.

I really regret back then

for being so selfish and silly.

Wife, I only want to tell you

that I'm sorry for coming late.

I'm sorry.

[Wu Zhe: 7/21/1970 - 10/16/2003]

What are you thinking of?

He went to visit my mom.

Your dad, Li Yazhe?

He told my mom some words.

I saw him keeping the wedding ring until now.

I thought when I saw him

I would hope him to get away from my mom

until that moment,

I realized that I hoped that he would go earlier.

To be honest, when I saw him like that

I wasn't sure if I should continue to hate him.

Is it because he still loves your mom

so you can't hate him right?

I don't know.

I also don't know how to feel towards him.

Perhaps, I don't hate him as much as I think.

I originally thought that after so many years,

after he left us, he would have a good life and have a new family

but I realized that he also lived a cold and lonely life.

So many things happened after that but you know how I lived.

I thought if I accept him

then will my mom feel like I betrayed her?

Your mom definitely hopes you can untie the knot

that way she would be happier and more at ease.

At ease?

I believe that you will be able to do it.

Actually, before you left Europe

you already forgave him.

♫ Happiness will reach the peak The moon made our hearts transparent ♫

♫ I will still appear one day, hold your hand and love each other ♫

♫ Love each other ♫

Master! Master, we came to visit you!

Master Fei.

Master?

- Master. - Master Fei.

We came to visit you.

Xiaowo and

Zhenyan, you guys are here.

Come on and have a seat.

- This— - How come you're admitted?

Master, weren't you fine before the recital?

How come you're suddenly admitted in the hospital?

Oh. Xiaowo,

doesn't it feel great to perform with me?

Of course, this was the best performance all along

but I still hope that I can perform with Li Zhenyan.

Oh. That's right.

Actually, if you perform with Li Zhenyan in the future

I think it will feel even better.

Yes.

Oh right.

- You guys eat some fruits too. - I won't be eating Master.

- Here, Zhenyan. Eat it. - Okay.

Thank you, Master.

Okay.

Your family didn't deliver food?

That's right.

The sun came out today. The sun hasn't came out in a long time.

Let me tell you. I suddenly remembered something.

I'm about to recover. At that time,

let's listen to Team RS' practice together, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Have a seat.

- It's fine. We don't need to sit. - Have a seat.

Don't you think Master Fei is a bit weird?

I think so but I can't confirm what's wrong with him.

Let's observe for a while.

Of course.

Are you tired?

I think you changed your mind.

In the past, you only eat, drink, and didn't do work.

I'm being a free loader at your house so I have to do some housework at least.

Okay, thank you.

You seem to really change.

I have to handle something with the postgraduate so I came back

but Director Meng wasn't there so I have to wait a while for her.

Okay.

How are you recently?

I'm quite well.

I heard you go into a good orchestra. Congrats to you.

Thank you.

Is the amount of practice a lot for a professional orchestra?

Are you still fine?

I'm fine.

I already considered this pressure when I tested for the professional orchestra.

Oh, that's great then.

Hello?

Oh. I'll go. Okay.

I still have something to do so I'll get going.

Can we still greet each other like friends when we meet in the future again?

Of course, you're a very important friend to me.

Thank you. You are too.

Zhuoyin,

wish you happiness.

You're saying it like we're not meeting in the future. I will.

Thank you. You too.

Say it. Why did you come back this time?

I came back this time to do something big.

What do you want to do now? Do you want another disciple?

I can't accept any more disciples.

After we finish class, we would go together.

Is Auntie Zhang no longer at the cafeteria?

Everything changed.

Only here is the same.

This was our first stage.

We were so young during that time. Just like the kids now,

we would think ourselves was the strongest ones.

I remember you once said,

In the future, I will let everyone remember my name

I'm going to be a master in music. Fei She'er,

you must become a unique conductor

so you can stand on the stage with me.

I remember you asked me during that time

what happens if I don't get famous since so many are learning music.

I replied and said that I at least have you as my audience.

You must remember the sound of my piano.

I will forever remember the sound of your piano

if I can listen to it once more.

If I could hear it once again.

Si Xing, are you keeping something from me?

Si Xing! Si Xing!

The patient's situation is very severe.

He needs surgery as soon as possible.

All performance and practices must be stopped.

- He must pay attention to eating bland food. - Okay.

- Thank you, doctor. - Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

How come you didn't tell me earlier?

Yu Mian, things that he doesn't let us tell

Moreover, you know that this old man likes hiding things.

When I told him to come to Mario Paci Conservatory of Music last time, he already knew his situation.

He delayed it for so long now. The doctor said, he doesn't have much time left.

Why is it so tasty? Thank you, Yu Mian.

Old Fei, I really envy you. Look at yourself.

Are you really blissful? After Yu Mian heard that you woke up,

Look at how blissful you are. I envy you.

Do you want to eat it? I'm not giving it to you.

Yu Mian made it for me.

Enough, don't be mad. I didn't want to hide it from you

but I'm afraid that if I tell you then you'll be like

someone

and forcing me to do the surgery everyday.

The someone you're talking about is me.

- I didn't say that. - Yu Man, let me tell you. You must understand this old man more.

- You're the old man— - Enough.

- but you can't do anything and let the illness act up. - What can I do?

This way I do the surgery and wear this

hearing aid. Which master conductor wears this and conduct?

- Beethoven didn't wear the hearing aid and still stood on the stage to conduct for a long time— - I know.

I came back this time to do something.

After I finish then I promise you

to do the surgery, okay?

- What is it? - How is it Master Fei?

Xiaowowo and Zhenyan, you're here.

I knew that there was a problem with your illness before. Why didn't you say it earlier?

Is it interesting and fun to suddenly scare us like this?

Zhenyan,

look. Your master is already this ill yet you're still being loud and scolding me.

- Of course we're worried about you. - Right.

Xiaowowo, I know you're worried about me.

Don't believe them. They're just making a fuss.

It's fine. I still have to perform with my pianist

and my disciple on the same stage.

Wait a minute. Perform on the same stage?

The two of us?

That's right.

I came back this time to do something

which is in China,

hold a

- farewell recital. - But...

The piano portion will be given to you two.

- Perform with me. - But Si Xing,

- Practices and performances most be stopped. You have to do the surgery— - That's why

this is why this last recital

must be done well.

It's considered

But you should invite Professor Auclair for your farewell recital.

He's a well known pianist.

- I... I can't do it— - Xiaowo, up to now,

- do you still not believe in your own abilities? - Wait a second. This absolutely won't do. Don't you know

how much practice and preparation is need for such a huge performance? Your health won't be able to do it.

- We can wait until you finish treatment and we will have chances and time— - I don't have anymore time!

Stop arguing. It's settled.

I will discharge soon and practice with Team RS.

- You guys make preparations. - Fang Xiaowo and I can perform but

Team RS just found new members. They can't do it right now.

It's fine. I believe in them.

Xiaowo, I also believe in you.

Everyone please believe in my judgement okay?

How come everyone is silent?

Do you all support him and no one is against it?

What are you thinking about?

Master Fei's health is already like this and you still support him going on stage. Are you crazy?

No one can change Master Fei's decision.

You know his temper.

I know but you're his friend for so many years. If you say it then he might listen. If you don't try then how would you know?

This is what he wants to do the most right now.

No matter how long I've been friends with him or a musician,

I should understand and support him even more.

Let's not talking about this first. He let Fang Xiaowo, me,

- and Team RS perform together. This is impossible— - How is it impossible?

Think about it. If Master Fei and Team RS perform together

and it goes well then do you know how much people will recognition your abilities?

Do you not understand Master Fei's good intentions at all?

You're saying that he wants to help us once more?

Of course, he's giving himself explanation as well.

He's someone that once he goes on stage to perform

even if his heart disease acts up, he will endure it until the performance is over.

He's that kind of person.

Zhenyan, if you really thinking for his own good

then do this matter well for him.

Master Fei is ill and wants to collaborate with Team RS for a farewell performance?

Xiaowo and I will do the piano portion

so you guys need to cooperate with each other for the rest.

Will we make it in time? We didn't even recruit new members yet.

We also need time to practice and get along.

That's right. What happens if we're a burden to Fei She'er?

Let me tell you guys some good news. Ji Mo found a girlfriend.

Guess what it is? It's Daria.

They don't know Daria.

Enough. Let's get back on topic.

Back on topic. Don't be afraid of this opportunity.

If you're afraid of this opportunity and give up on this challenge that you guys won't improve.

Take out the spirit that we had when we were tortured by Fei She'er at Mario Paci Conservatory of Music back then.

We will definitely perform and succeed this time.

I also won't give up and give it my all.

Let me remind everyone.

This performance is Team RS' first performance after getting back together.

I won't tell you guys how important it is. Don't disappoint Master Fei's efforts and expectations.

Don't disappoint yourself for your effort all this time.

- We got this. - We got this.

Okay, I know.

- How come you're here? - I'm worry about Fang Xiaowo

- so I came to visit her. - Fang Xiaowo's house is when you go out, turn to the right, and go upstairs.

- Is there anything else? - There is something to tell you.

I plan to move over here.

- Isn't it nice to live in the hotel? - I'm not at ease when I live in the hotel.

- I also can't play the piano. - That absolutely won't work. I'm already used to living alone.

Don't worry. I'm really quiet so I won't disturb you.

- I only have one room and one bed. - I will sleep on the sofa.

Don't worry too much. I'm just worried about Xiaowo and the performance is about to begin.

It's convenient for me to help her practice the piano.

You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa.

This soy milk is quite tasty.

[Fang Xiaowo's Room]

Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight?

-I'm not hungry. -Are you really Fang Xiaowo?

I really think this is the first time I've ever heard you say 'I'm not hungry'.

It seems you're really serious.

These few days,

While we've been studying, I keep recalling,

The first time that we met.

That feeling always surrounds me.

Every time I play, I feel so happy inside.

You're really so different now.

But it's okay, you're becoming better.

Oh, right. Dalia and Ji Mo are almost here.

Really? I'll feel much more assured when Ji Mo's here.

You'll feel more assured when he's here? Okay.

I'll send him a message to book a flight back to France.

Are you jealous?

-No. -I think so.

-No. -You definitely are.

-Look at you. -What do you mean? Look at me?

Smell, smell, what do you think?

[Terminal]

Here.

Hold on. Take a photo of me.

There's nothing here.

Let's just take a photo to remember it by, I think it's fine.

Just take one picture.

-Thank you. -Let's go.

Oh, wait. Let's take one together.

Quick, quick!

It's crowded here.

Where's Xiaowo? Why didn't you bring her down with you to eat?

I went up to ask but she said she just wanted to practice. I just took something for her to eat.

After this farewell concert is done,

What do you have planned for you and Xiaowo?

Are you going to go back to Europe and join another famous orchestra?

I haven't figured it out yet.

-Why are you laughing? -You remind me of your mother.

She always teased me about the fact that I don't know how to live life by myself.

You don't know how to live life by yourself? That might be the only thing you have in common with Xiaowo.

By the way, why do you want to recruit new members for the orchestra?

I thought, with your personality,

You would surely insist on keeping on old members.

How do I put this? I used to think,

Team RS is no longer Team RS without them.

But then I realized that,

An orchestra needs new and fresh blood.

Otherwise there's no way for it to become a top-tier orchestra.

Just like when I was in Lumalet.

The orchestra back then focused on keeping experienced players.

And wouldn't let any new members in. But then they realized they wouldn't be able to start over.

I think an orchestra is a platform.

Its name is just a sign or a symbol.

It's like a healthy river, it must always flow back into the sea.

It needs fresh water. We are the same.

If Team RS can't survive without us,

Then it is doomed to fail.

Yes, you're right.

It seems that you've truly matured.

There's no doubt about that.

I'm seeing you annoying people again.

Amongst you,

There are many familiar faces.

And of course, there are plenty of new faces.

But, I believe in you all.

And I believe in this orchestra's spirit that has been passed on.

You are the future of classical music in China.

Good luck, I'm looking forward to it.

Master Fei.

I know you chose Team RS this time,

To have such an important performance with you because it will be beneficial for us.

The joy that you have given me,

Is much greater than what I could ever give to you all.
