This is today's youth.

They're out of control.

My friend, let me tell you...

look at your body, you're too frail.

You should exercise.

You should learn to fight.

No one will bully you ever.

Look at you lying here.

You're the only person who can take care of yourself.

You see this?

I offer you this, for your training.

Officer Chen.

You've got the wrong boy.

This kid has not being bullied...

he is the bully.

Th... that twit?

Don't judge by the looks, he's the real deal.

Yesterday, the kid he was bullying fought back...

and pushed him down the stairs.

Where's the bullied kid?

He was scared, they transferred him.

Open your mouth.

It looks like you swallowed it...

but it's still a little red and swollen.

I'll prescribe you some anti-inflammatory.

Take only meals at regular hours.

You have cavities.

Maybe...

each person is an island, right?

"No man is an island entire of itself..."

"every man is a piece of the continent."

"Any man's death..."

"diminishes me..."

"because I am involved in mankind."

"And therefore never send to know..."

"for whom the bell tolls."

"It tolls for thee."

-Or for me.

A poem by the British poet John Donne.

What is it?

When I heard this...

I remembered a friend of mine.

Who?

A gardener.

Thank you Mr. Director.

Thank you too.

You are welcome.

Come in.

Mr. Shang.

Mr. Director.

I know I am not the Principal.

It is not my place to talk...

but I thought about it.

I need to talk with you.

I know what you want to say.

I am aware.

A student's parent just left.

Right.

I investigated.

There is a problem...

that we have to solve.

We had to act about Zijing Chai in Class 1.

She will be severely punished.

In addition, we have to enforce...

a code of courtesy among students.

With teachers as attentive as you...

who care for students...

our school is truly people-oriented.

I'm relieved to hear this.

Mr. Director...

we often underestimate them.

We think their issues are kids' issues.

We don't care enough as teachers.

Small issues turn into big issues.

We'll see through this bullying problem.

It will not be tolerated.

But it takes time...

just trust me on this.

Alright.

If I can do anything to help...

please ask me.

Of course.

I know...

that it's a step by step process.

We understand each other.

"The sun sets and goes home..."

"Big waves of colors in the sky."

"Teenagers don't like talking"

Stop reading that novel...

order a song.

You heard?

Hey you...

what's wrong with you?

Don't you like karaoke?

There's a math test coming up.

I need to go study.

There...

the test's questions and the answers.

How did you get this?

Our tutor is in charge of the tests.

You talk too much.

You're sitting at Ting's table.

You can copy on her too.

You'll be alright.

I bet she wouldn't help...

even her good friend.

I don't see all the answers here.

That will be quite enough.

You don't want the teacher to suspect.

Just be average like us.

We can't make it to college anyway.

So just enjoy your high school life.

Well said.

I get it...

there is a lecture at the art school, I need to attend.

But you're just a school girl.

She still hopes to enter the art college.

You don't have what it takes.

Alright.

Each table, please make a small conversation about this.

Start now.

Ms. Ting...

I want to see you after class.

Do you need to tell me something?

I do...

Mr. Shang...

about last time...

I need to thank you.

Apart from that...

tell me what's going on.

I'm fine now.

It was not an isolated incident...

right?

Ms. Ting...

I can't guess what's going on with your classmates.

But you should know that...

you don't have to suffer that.

No one should suffer that.

Sometimes I think that...

we, educators are not up to our mission.

I'd like to be able to do more.

But often I realize...

that there's little I can do.

So if we're powerless then...

what can you do?

You guys are still so young...

you're just kids studying.

What can you do?

Mr. Shang, I'm fine...

Thank you for for talking to me like this.

I believe...

I haven't been offered that much respect lately.

The more you talk...

The more guilty I feel.

I feel so powerless.

I hope...

that you'll ask me...

if I can be of service anytime.

Because after all, I am a teacher...

and I can still manage...

daily matters in class.

Alright?

Don't Cry.

Mrs. Sun we know the way...

and you're busy.

Alright then, goodbye.

Take your medicine.

I can't drink.

Chen, let me drive.

The car is not insured yet.

I just want you to rest.

Thank you.

You thank me.

I have to thank you for helping me with this thorn.

Look, what can I answer to that?

Just ignore it.

Let's play a song.

How is the fishing island doing?

How is the communication with Beilei Zhang?

Good.

Looking at the reviews...

the feedback is not very good.

You'll visit Ms. Zhang tomorrow.

She has to improve the service quality.

Alright.

You can go.

Hello.

You can't be still in bed?

Have you seen the haters' reviews on the net.

"There's no abalone on the seafood buffet."

And "Our tour guide is not a man."

They're just haters.

They're crazy.

They say we are forcing sales.

How can I do that?

These liars are threatening...

to kill our business.

Hey.

Did you hear me?

I heard you.

Let me tell you this...

Erase these reviews before dawn.

I can't do that.

You have to do it.

Why didn't you answer before?

Tell me...

on your agency's bus, why don't you have the AC?

It's so darn hot, I can't breathe.

We want to lower the cost.

We mention there's no AC on board, on the contract.

That is just a piece of paper.

People are dying on those trips.

Use your brain to find a way to solve it.

Alright I'll check the contract...

see if the budget allows us to reallocate funds.

A pain in the neck.

Our future plans to develop tourism...

Lao Xia...

could you elaborate?

Sure.

We face here an unprecedented historical transformation.

Our form of extensive tourism development...

has to turn into intensive tourism development.

From niche tourism development to...

the development of mass tourism.

We'll step from shallow tourism to deep tourism.

"Pick up the phone quick."

From sightseeing and leisure travel...

to active entertainment tourism.

Very well said.

It is a challenge for us...

but I believe...

we will all succeed.

"Reading the reviews..."

"the feedback is not very good."

"Pay a visit to Ms. Zhang tomorrow..."

"ask her to improve her service quality."

You're all there.

Sit down.

This is Tao Liu from New World Travel Agency.

Everyone knows her.

We'll be solving our issues with her.

Please, speak freely...

don't hold anything back.

I came here today mainly because...

there is a small decline of the number of your visitors.

I know everyone works very hard...

but we cannot allow such trends.

So somewhere in the middle...

this chain must have a weak link.

That's why I came to meet everyone...

to examine this issue.

I'll just say a few words.

I think your agency promotes us too cheaply.

As a result we receive mostly cheap visitors.

You need to step up our standing.

We need a beautiful image...

we can call the village, "the Bay of the Pearls"

so we'll have real ladies visiting us.

Sure we have opted for...

the common channels to advertise.

But but do we really have...

to put up with those housewives...

who see only the buffet...

and stuff their faces until they drop.

Can't you send us real customers...

who come here to spend money.

That don't spend most of the year...

at home with their circle of friends.

Eric Paroissien translation eric.paroissien@gmail.com

Listen...

let me tell you this...

those pics you uploaded on the site are awful.

We resent being presented as a small fishing village.

We gave you a set of good photos...

that you dismissed.

The photo-shopping was a bit overdone, it looked fake.

Fake?

Who is not embellishing his image.

As if you girls when you take selfies...

were not tempted to use filters and all...

before you post it to friends.

Am I right?

Right.

Just delete those hate reviews on your page.

You need to advertise more.

Can't we just skip the elderly groups?

Could you answer faster when we call?

Don't you have a 24/7 line?

Surely, you have a big market...

don't send us basic consumer tourists.

Make it clear on the web page.

The authorities fined us ten times for food waste.

If we don't push them, they don't buy...

you must state that they have to enter the stores.

You need to praise our attractions with more panache.

Missy, you're not putting your heart into it.

Take notes.

You're here...

when did you arrive?

Just now.

Ting...

I invited other people tonight.

Two more people.

Who are they?

My parents.

Sorry, I can't do that.

You guys, go ahead.

Ting...

you're withdrawing again.

I really want to be with you.

I'm not ready for that.

It's a whole new energy.

Oh, come on...

embrace your future...

and say goodbye to the past.

Can't you accept me.

I can't accept myself.

My son...

what happened to your grades?

Mom, I'm second of my class.

Sure but...

you were always the first of your class.

Principal Gu...

thank you so much...

for taking care of Xiaoxiao.

I'm surprised to see that his grades...

have dropped a little lately.

The second place is honorable.

Of course, there's room for improvement.

Mr. Gu...

How is Xiaoxiao at school lately?

I sense that something is upsetting him.

Is that because of that girl?

It's normal for teenagers to have ups and downs.

Did something happen between Ting and my son?

Ms. Ting...

Hello Ms. Ting.

Hello Madam.

You are...

I am Xiaoxiao's mother.

I didn't know if you were hungry.

I ordered this cake for you.

Eat.

Thank you Madam.

You're sharp and pretty.

You have good grades too.

Your parents must cherish you like a princess.

Xiaoxiao's dad and I really wanted a girl.

During my pregnancy...

all the clothes I bought were for a girl.

We didn't expect to have a son.

And a boy...

can't be too spoiled.

Since he was small I have been very strict with him.

And he is also very sharp.

All his childhood, he never disappointed me.

And there he grew up in the blink of an eye.

I have my own way of life.

You don't have to tell me...

I'm not old fashioned.

Love is fine.

Young people make a big deal of it.

Xiaoxiao and I are just ordinary classmates.

I wish you a great successful future.

I see you here, so cute...

I like you.

But for now...

set love aside.

And focus on your studies.

Madam...

I'm studying hard to to enter Haihua...

I'm not one of those...

starry-eyed girls.

You have nothing to worry about.

Xiaoxiao and I will remain ordinary classmates.

Alright then.

I'm grateful.

Take your time, eat.

I'm leaving now.

Please take this call.

Yes.

Officer Chen.

Sorry...

I know it's late.

I need to tell you...

Where are you?

I'm North on the 2nd Ring.

We'll be there right away.

What?

What? 7 rooms are missing?

You could have told us earlier.

The hotel is full.

You solve this.

I'll talk.

We're very sorry.

What do you mean 'sorry'?

How do I deal with my group?

Please, wait a moment, let me see.

Hello? Sixteenth floor?

Any rooms available?

What?

They're full.

Don't worry.

13th floor?

Any rooms available?

Just three rooms?

We need more.

They can't cram us in three rooms.

Listen to her.

Sorry.

I just spoke with them.

The only thing we can do is...

add a third bed in the double rooms.

But there is no extra charge.

What?

We didn't pay for this.

It was clearly stated:

"Double room is the standard", right?

This is a ripoff.

Where do I sleep?

We'll complain.

Yes, we'll complain.

The number you dialed is temporarily busy...

please call again later.

You come here.

Alright.

Dad, what time did you come back last night?

I don't know.

Please tell me how it was when I come back.

You are too busy now.

I can't bother you.

How what was?

Yesterday my first client tried to cheat.

I spotted him immediately.

Young lady...

It seems that your mother was right...

the piano was for you.

But it was expensive...

I wasn't sure you had the gift.

I didn't let you learn.

Yesterday I saw your nimble fingers typing.

You got that from me.

You inherited it from me.

Take piano lessons.

So what were you writing?

You looked so serious.

A speech.

What speech?

Our school is holding a flag raising ceremony.

I say a few words under the flag.

The teachers likes the theme.

I'll print it out and send it to the school committee.

I see.

You'll speak under the flag.

Maybe someday my daughter will be speaking on TV.

Dad.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Hurry to school.

Don't worry.

Dad is never late.

Have you seen that new novel...

with a weird name?

What is it?

You're captivated.

It's the hottest novel of the year.

The despot has decided to subdue Nie Yin.

So moving.

The Villain feels challenged in her position.

Always sends trouble on Nie's path.

But Nie resists.

Nie has special skills...

but she doesn't know it yet.

She hates herself.

She doesn't know what to do.

She drowns her pain in wine everyday.

Her heart is filled with suffering.

The despot thinks Nie will bend.

What is it?

What are you looking at?

I think the gossiper of this novel is very familiar.

How familiar?

I think we know that person.

What is the name of this novel?

'Thorn'

'Thorn'?

Like a ghost's name.

The traitor...

is actually more pitiful than Nie herself.

More hateful than the despot herself.

There is only a ray of hope in Nie's heart...

That the evil gossiper...

will drown in her own venom.

Nie never bothered to think...

Why did the betrayer betray?

A betrayer is a betrayer...

thinking about it is a waste of time.

Anyone?

She didn't come.

Ting didn't come to rehearse in the dance hall.

She probably feels guilty, she doesn't dare.

She's not that Nie Yin.

She doesn't have the guts.

How dare she bite me back like this?

Harboring deep hatred.

I told you she was a tough one.

Do we have the next trick.

Of course we do.

Look it's her coming.

The despot.

We heard of your feats.

We'd better keep a distance...

or we'll be next.

I would be so scared.

Yeah, right.

Ok, let's play.

Keep playing.

Beilei, look.

Many people are targeting you online.

Many facts are true.

Don't let it affect you.

That Ting...

she has it coming.

You saw me, why are you leaving?

Did Mr. Shang come here?

He left a long time ago.

Mr. Shang is probably at home.

So you sent Xixi to tell me we had English.

Would you have come, had I asked you to?

What do you want from me?

Aren't you good at math?

You know how to settle accounts.

Beilei Zhang...

I have no intention to mention the past.

Let's go our separate ways.

let's not pretend to be friends.

Pretend to be friends?

Now your coming out...

you admit that you were the hypocrite.

That novel on the web...

was only a way of venting my pain.

I didn't expect the novel to go viral. was only a way of venting my pain.

I didn't expect the novel to go viral.

It's not a way to get back at you.

This wasn't my intention.

Now it's out of my hands.

Many are tracking me online...

I get harassment and hating comments.

You have mocked me again and again.

Now you pretend you're innocent?

You think I don't know?

What Xiaoxiao and you did in the lab?

A class delegate...

stealing laboratory keys.

Let me tell that to the Principal...

that would be interesting.

My dad gave you a phone...

OK, let's forget that.

I accepted you in the dance team.

I offered you the middle of the stage.

How many favors have you despised?

Zijing Chai lost her temper about this.

I'm saying this for you.

Ting...

look how pathetic you are.

You have to work so hard...

play tricks in my back...

write a novels and libel me on the net?

You think money gives you the right to crush people.

I tell you what...

I'll enter Haihua university and you won't.

Mad bitch.

Did you see on the net?

Everything Nie Yin had to endure.

I read it.

It went viral as soon as it came out.

Thousands reposted it.

You know about Ting's mother.

She died of a blood disease.

Tin could have it too.

Is that true?

Tao Liu.

Don't you dare let me down.
