Have tea please.
Thank you.
Please.
Mr. Bi fully intends to comply with the local customs in way.
He'll go along with whatever you say.
He's a simple-hearted
and reasonable person.
When I spoke to him the other day.
He kept saying over and over.
He didn't want you to feel compromised.
So if you have any conditions or requests.
Speak right out.
So we can all discuss it.
And see what can be done.
Mr. Bi will do every thing he can for you.
What about it, Hsiu-ying?
Mommy!
How do you think?
Maybe we should let you to tell them.
Let me do it? Ok...
Well, here comes the thing...
Hsiu-ying has no demands, really...
it's the child that matters most of all.
We only ask that Mr. Bi
to promise that Chu-chia will go to college.
The first time I saw Little Bi,
was at Mr. & Mrs. Bi's wedding banquet.
At the time I thought.
If Mr. Bi just got married, how come his son is so big already?
Sometimes I thought in my naive way.
Maybe they came from the mainland to rejoin him.
When I asked my parents, though.
They scolded me "Children should be seen and not heard!"
It was nice to see Mr. Bi so happy, though.
That's something I'll always remember.
Water's ready, it's ok to take a bath now.
Registering a marriage?
That's right!
One more copy, please.
One more copy.
When did you get marry?
Last Sunday? The sixth of December.
Excuse me,
Before our wedding, my wife has a child,
he's a six years old boy with her last name.
That we're married I want him to have mine.
What do I have to do?
You'll have to apply to adopt him.
I see. Thank you.
Class...
This is your new classmate.
Bi Chu-chia.
His home is in Mi Hsien, Honan Province.
My name's not Bi Chu-chia.
It's Lin Chu-chia!
Lin Chu-chia.
Aren't you Bi Chu-chia.
His mom and him just got married to Mr. Bi!
My mom's the one who married him.
Not me!
All right, I understand.
Let's welcome Chu-chia.
All right, you can go back to your seat now.
Everyone.
This Sunday,
we will have a campus day.
Go home and tell your mothers or sisters.
Have them come at 8 o'clock Sunday.
Write down your name.
Your name is Bi Chu-chia.
My name is Bi Tat-shun.
Everyone calls me Old Bi, so you are Little Bi.
Understand?
To write the character "Bi".
First write "jih".
No.
That's OK.
First you write a "jih".
It is "jih".
Then you draw a double crosses...
Double crosses,
after that you draw a long horizontal line.
And then a short horizontal line.
Finally you draw a pole in the middle.
Are you finished?
Let me see!
Good! That's good.
Except the polo's a bit long.
So some people were inspired that
it is easier to write on silk.
But it is too expensive.
Not everyone can pay for it.
Then Tsai Lun had an idea.
If he could invent something,
light in weight,
easy to write on and inexpensive to make.
It could be used by everyone.
Everyone would be able to afford it.
And it could be passed on to others.
So he invented paper.
All right, class dismissed.
Class rise!
Salute the teacher!
Thank you, teacher!
Go tell Little Fan to come over here.
Little Fan!
Little Bi's brother was born two years later.
When we were in the fourth grade,
Mrs. Bi became pregnant again.
Mrs. Bi was never seemed very happy or very sad.
She always kept herself spotlessly clean.
She came and went, quietly doing her chores.
She brought a lunch box for Bi every day.
She brought a raincoat on raining day.
She brought a jacket on cold day.
No one else's mother did as much as she.
Like other boys,
Little Bi hated to wear raincoats.
Little Bi hated to wear jackets.
But Bi always listened to his mother.
So he would drape his raincoat over his shoulders.
Then he is "The Caped Knight",
but a good boy, too.
Don't cry!
Come on, don't cry!
Bi Chu-chia, what's wrong with your brother?
Nothing!
Stop crying!
Come on, don't cry!
Take it, it's the new-issued comic.
Why are you crying, Tzu? Let me hold you.
What's all this crying about?
Chu-chia was throwing darts!
Throwing darts?
It's OK, it's OK.
Chu-chia scared you with his darts.
Stop crying, now. Come on.
Let's go wash up.
It's time to eat, let's go.
Bi Chu-chia!
Put that away. Read you're your homework's done.
Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.
Yes.
Mother! Ants! No wonder he was crying so badly.
The total amount comes to $ 371,300 NTD.
And the contract price is $ 360,525 NTD.
Creating a deep forest atmosphere...
Bi Chu-chia! Bi Chu-chia!
Why are you sleeping?
Get up, Bi Chu-chia! Get up!
Chu-chia's little brother cries so badly
and keeps the whole family up all night.
Buying fish balls, Mrs. Bi?
Hello, Mrs. Ghu.
I'm sorry about En-en keeping you up at night.
Every child goes through that stage.
You think he's wet or hungry, but he's not.
He cries and cries when there's nothing wrong.
There's a way
to stop a child's night crying.
It works well.
Why don't you try it?
Thank you.
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
there is a child in my house cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Chu-chia, .
Mrs. Chu said to do it at noon tomorrow.
Excuse me, what time is it?
11:55 AM.
Bi Chu-chia!
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
there is a child in my house cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
there is a child in my house cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Read it!
Earthly spirits...
there is a child in my house cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Good! Good! Next one!
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
there is a child in my house...
cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Ok! Next!
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
there is a child in my house cries all night.
Passing gentleman, please chant it three times,
making him sleep until the sun shines.
Okay, next one!
En-en's poor health added to Mrs. Bi's work
so Little Bi started taking his lunch with him.
When Mr. Bi had time,
he would bring food or clothes just like Mrs. Bi did.
But I always felt that
Mr. Bi and Little Bi were overly polite and distant with each other.
Maybe because he wasn't the boy's real father.
Mr. Bi wasn't as harsh as most fathers,
if the boy was bad, he'd intercede for him.
I couldn't understand life's frustrations at the time.
All the worries, all the painful things in memory,
much later
The farther way they get, the nearer they seem.
You knocked my pencil case to the ground, "Dung"!
You ought to pick it up!
What did you say? Say that again!
You knocked my pencil case to the ground!
You ought to pick it up!
Not that! The first thing you said!
What first thing?
"Dung!" You called me "Dung!"
Your name is Fan Tung, isn't it?
Can I have $ 2 NTD, dad?
Didn't you take $ 2 NTD this morning?
Get out of the way!
You are dead!
It's my turn, stay away!
Hurry up! It's my turn.
What are you doing?
Hold it tight!
Clip the tail!
Clip the neck!
That's right!
Fan Tung?
YES!
Huang?
YES!
Pan?
YES!
Chen?
YES!
Bi Chu-chia?
YES!
Yang?
YES!
Chang Jing-wen?
YES!
Huang Chi-jian?
YES!
Ho?
Hey! Let's look at it together, OK?
What does it say?
Uh...
Hu?
YES!
Something about horse?
You're making wild guesses!
Let me look! Let me look!
No, it says "horse around".
"Horse around"...
Chu-chia's report card.
My glasses...
These grades aren't bad. Eighth in the class.
Recalcitrant as a crazy horse?
Disobedient in class, eh?
No, just alittle stubborn.
That's OK.
As long as your grades are good.
Malicious and recalcitrant.
Starting tomorrow, you're to study calligraphy,
you're to stay off the streets after school.
Bi Chu-chia.
Bi! Come and play with us!
Bi! Bi Chu-chia!
Come and play with us!
Bi! Come and play with us!
Hurry!
Be quiet!
Flat-head!
Hurry!
We're going to the seashore, wanna come?
I can't, I have to practice calligraphy.
Phooey on calligraphy. Come on. Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go play at the seashore!
$ 0.50 NTD a piece, $ 0.30 NTD for two, step right up!
Come! Come!
My mistake!
$ 0.30 NTD a piece, $ 0.50 NTD for two!
Come...
Let's exhange.
Big Five!
Help me to do it!
Thank you, son. Thank you.
Now! Big Six!
Get away...
You are dead.
Hsiu-ying!
Open the door!
Who is it?
Hsiu-ying!
It's you! Come in, come in!
My feet are about to fall off!
This house is really hard to be found!
I didn't think you'd ever come!
I always wanted to.
How many years has it been?
Nearly four years.
Here, I'll take that!
Look! Only four years and I've gotten fat!
Oh, you look all right.
I look all right?
I'm over the hill!
Where's Chu-chia?
Out playing.
He spends all his time running around outside!
Kids will be kids!
Are you moving, Hsiu-ying?
No, just doing my spring cleaning.
Spring cleaning?
And tomorrow Ta-shun will paint.
Really! Hey, let me take a look
Not bad!
You seem to have a good life.
Very good! Very good!
Sit down! It's a mess here.
Come in my room.
All right
Here, let me take that.
That's OK, I've got it.
Go, go, go.
I really never expected you would come.
I kept thinking about you,
but I never had time.
Eh? Who's this?
My son!
Your son! Your son!
Come here! Let auntie hold you!
He's cute.
Looks like his dad
except the eyes.
He's my second!
What? Your second?
That's right! Number two!
You sure can turn them out!
Can you spare me one?
I'm going to take you home with me.
Chu-chia, your mom wants you
You've a guest!
Let's go!
Don't say anything about me when you get back!
I'm no snitcher!
Guess what Auntie brought for you!
Go on, guess!
OK then, close your eyes.
Close them, now.
Open wide! Look!
Take it.
Aren't you happy?
I had someone bring it from abroad just for you.
Open it up!
Hurry!
Open it up!
It's OK, open it up so you can play.
Open it up!
Put it away till tomorrow.
It's bed time.
Yes.
Sorry, Ta-shun.
She's on loan to me tonight.
Come along quickly, now!
It's so cold!
Oh, my goodness!
Every time New Year comes around,
I really wish I was married.
All the single men are back home visiting their parents now.
I look OK during the day with makeup,
but now? No, no good at all.
A woman only has a few good years, Hsiu-ying.
What else can I do now, I ask you?
I only want a man
who'll hold me on cold nights
that's all I ask for!
What about your friend "Sharkie"?
Got married a long time ago.
Doesn't seem happy, though.
They fight a lot, then he comes over to sleep with me!
The creep!
I hear old Tsai's factory folded.
Now he has to go around asking for lunch,
his wife left him, too. Serves him right!
He used to be so self satisfied.
Do you still hate him?
I forgot all about him till you mentioned him.
You were pretty foolish at the time, too.
But at least you've found the right man now.
He's been a savior to me and Chu-chia.
Without him
Chu-chia would have no last name.
What's your mom doing now?
What?
It's a hot dog!
It smells good, wanna try?
Mr. Bi
Who is it?
My dad wants you to write a New Year's couplet.
What does he want it to say?
The same thing as last year.
What did I write last year?
The one about bright orchids and tall pines.
OK, just leave it there.
Another year...
Another year's gone by, we're all a year older
I don't need to be reminded!
Hey, Potato!
It's OK, he can't tell.
I erased his stamp.
Look, Officer!
He tored the cover off this book!
Look at that, that's my store-stamp. See?
He tored out the part with the stamp.
Here he erased it.
This is my book. Of course I recognize it.
No wonder things in the store are disappearing.
Officer.
He's stealing what little I have, Officer!
Don't I buy you all the new books And Prince magazine too!
Why take from others?
It's not "taking", it's stealing!
Why don't we do this, Mr. Wang!
You take back whichever books are yours,
whatever is still missing I'll pay for in full.
What do you think, Officer?
How old is the boy?
Ten, He's in the fourth grade.
Ten years old and a thief!
Please give us a break, Officer!
I'll teach the boy a lesson when he gets home.
I'll beat your brains in!
What did I tell you?
You're old enough to know not to steal!
You make me furious! When will you grow up?
What do you think you're doing, Hsiu-ying?
That's enough!
OK, don't get carried away!
What kind of mother you?
You want to kill him? This is too much.
How could you be so cruel?
It hurts to be hit that way with a cluster!
Come here, Chu-chia. Let Auntie see.
Why would you want to beat the boy so?
Why would you want to do that?
Come Come, Chu-chia, let auntie see.
Don't teach a boy by this way.
Use reason instead.
You could kill him by beating him that way.
Mrs. Bi, Chu-chia didn't steal those books.
Fan Tung is the one who stole them. I saw him.
There! I knew Chu-chia wasn't a thief.
Why did not you ask before hitting him?
Look!
I never expected that to happen to Little Bi.
I don't remember him ever crying.
I never understood why his mother was so strict.
Later I found out that before she had him,
she had an affair with her supervisor at work,
she got pregnant.
But he was already married.
She tried to kill herself, but was saved.
After having the baby,
she become a bargirl.
Little Bi was very unhappy there, though
Every visit was a tearful one.
When she got back on her feet
she reclaimed him.
At night, she looked the door and went to the bar.
Chu-chia's so lucky you found him a good father.
I know Chu-chia.
He might get into trouble,
but he'll always do what his mother says.
A lot of things aren't worth worrying about.
The more you worry, the worse they get.
It's best not to think about them at all.
After the New Year I'll get married if I can.
I say that every year.
If I like him but he doesn't like me
It's so hard to find some one!
Shouldn't take things so hard.
I have to go. Cheer up.
I'll visit when I can.
Try to be happy
and take care of yourself.
I'm leaving now.
Attention!
Be marked by The 2nd year!
Left par!
Ready, front!
At ease!
Attention!
At ease!
Flag Raising Ceremony starts.
Introduction of the Chairman.
All arise.
Little Bi wasn't in a good class in junior high.
He started smoke and fight with others
he fell in with bad kids and learned bad ways.
Old Bi went to the school almost every day.
Little Bi kept getting reprimanded, though.
Still, it had no effect on him at all.
He didn't think what he did was wrong.
He lived in a world of his own when he was young.
Stand at attention! Do you listen to me?
I want an apple...
Lady Chatterley's Lover.
One more please...
Come.
What are you hurry for?
Bi! Bi!
Chen Yu-yen is really good-looking.
Are you envious or jealous?
Who's envious of you?
They're here!
It's them!
Bring this over to her for me, OK, Fan Tung?
You're the one who likes her, why should I go?
Because I'm asking you to!
Go ahead! Come on, do me a favor.
Go on!
Now!
Chen yu-yen!
Go ahead!
Teacher!
What is it?
A boy in third-year class gave me this.
Meet me at 2 PM on Saturday,
at the Tamsui Train Station
fifth telephone pole from the left.
- The one you know who.
Get away! Fuck you.
Fuck you!
Shit! Shit!
The moustache is here.
Hide!
Lady Tiger is fine.
Get away! What are you doing on my bed?
Bring me a guava.
Mother made two pairs of pants for you.
Don't cut up people's pants any more.
Try them.
I'll try them on later.
We received another bad behavior report today.
Father went to apologize only yesterday.
Did you do something wrong again?
No!
No?
You deny it?
Father will go tomorrow to find out.
It's no use!
A hundred vists wouldn't help!
They can't stop giving him demerits
Wang Tzu-li, tell the class what "wa ming" means.
"We ming" means "frogs croaking".
What does it symbolize?
Sit down, I'll explain.
Frog calls in fragrant fields
means prosperity.
Come.
Hurry!
The class A of 2nd year is here.
Snare one with money.
Mine's not bad.
It's got sausage and an egg.
Give me some, Fan Tung. Hurry up!
Ok.
Where's Chen Yu-yen sitting?
I think she's in No. 31.
Let me have some!
Don't!
Let me have it, please.
Hmph!
Cheapskate!
Hurry up! Give me some!
Spare ribs too!
Eat it.
Let me have your chicken bones, Crybaby!
That's not fair! Chicken bones for spars ribs!
Look who's coming?
Did you put the chicken bones in the lunchboxes?
You're afraid to admit it?
What's there to be afraid of?
Your "joke" on Yu-yen made Shu-chuan cry!
Isn't your seat No.31?
No, I sit in No. 21
So what do you want?
Nothing
but you have to apologize to Shu-chuan tomorrow.
What's so funny?
What are you laughing at?
I wasn't laughing.
Don't give me that!
Mr. Bi.
Chu-chia now has too many major demerits.
School require us to dismiss him.
Was it that serious?
He stole a lunchbox
and let a classmate go hungry,
he put the leftover bones in another pupil's food.
That's no practical joke,
it's downright nasty!
I don't want him to influence other pupils.
No one knows what he might do in the future
Can't you give him one more chance?
Let him finish out the term.
I've given him lots of chances.
Ask him! He's seen a guidance counselor many times.
Can't you change it to a small demerit?
I beg of you, I want him to go college!
Maybe he hadn't had enough to eat for lunch.
Let me make it up to the pupil whose lunch he ate.
I'll prepare a tasty box lunch for them each day
I'll cook delicious food for him.
As I see it,
I have my own standpoint.
If my pupil does wrong, I share the responsibility.
Why don't we do this?
I'll ask the other counselors what can be done?
How's that, Mr. Bi?
Thank you, thank you!
His parents' please enabled him to stay in school.
He was put on probation and got 2 small demerits.
He was even made head of the a.m. Assembly.
The head counselor said it would be good for him.
Mrs. Bi was sure this was the best thing for him.
She refused to believe her son was a bad kid
She woke him every morning for predawn practice.

Strange! Where is my luch box?
Don't step on it!
"Bodyguard" is coming!
Little Bi!
"Bodyguard" said to give you this.
"I am no secret leaker." - The one you know who.
It's last year's No. 1 song,
"Beautiful Sunday".
Really?
Do you want some soda?
I'll go buy some.
Sure. - No.
Well, do you or don't you?
Sure.
One bottle of soda!
Mrs. Bi! Mrs. Bi!
What are you doing?
My mom told me to give you this bun.
Don't tell anyone at school, now.
I'm no blabbermouth!
What kind of photograph is this?
Could be a wedding picture or just a snapshot?
It looks like a wedding picture.
Then what's he doing in it?
You ever notice what big ears he has?
Soda's here
The people across the way gave us these buns,
I'll go get the cups.

Sit down! Have a seat! Here, sit down...
I bought you a pair of shoes, try them on!
Ah! Girlfriends!
Sorry I'm late!
That's OK!
I'll go buy tickets.
I bought tickets already.
What are you following me around for?
Love!
Go back!
Maybe he can play with us.
No eating till this is over.

Is this the guy?
It's him.
Yes.

How impressive!
Brand-new shoes...
You look Again...
You look again and I'll out your eyes out!
You listen to me,

You don't like it?
You don't like it, just look me up. I'm Big Chin!
Let's go!
Someone fall into the sea!
Quickly!
What's wrong!
How stupid to play on beach in such a cold day!
There's no one knew if he was drowned!
No one's allowed to play outside any more!
At your age you ought to know better.
I always think of you,
you should think of me, too.
Are you listening?
I asked if you were listening!
Brother was there.
Chu-chia is a lot older than you are.
Do learn good things only.
Here, have some hot ginger soup.
You're a big boy.
I can't run your life,
just don't ruin your little brother's life.
What do you want?
Looking for me!
What's the matter, Fan Tung?
Let me see, Fan Tung!
Put it back in! Fan Tung!
Fan Tung!
Hold on tight, Fan Tung!
Fan Tung!
You can't come in!
Pay the security and plasma.
Go buy some blood bag.
Where are his parents?
His...
His parents...
Hurry! He needs transfusion!
Tell his parents to get it!
Our...
Can our blood be used?
No, you're too young.
Donors have to be over 18.
Go tell his parents to buy blood.
Hurry!
How much is needed?
Get 1,000 cc to begin with. Hurry!
Did you take $ 10,000 NTD from the drawer?
You're getting worse and worse! Now you are stealing money!
I'll bash your head in!
There's nothing you won't stoop to!
What are you trying to do?
Sit down for now, let me talk to him.
Why did you take all that money?
$ 10,000 NTD is a lot of money.
What do you need that much money for?
If you need spending money you can ask me for it,
so why did you steal it?
Don't ask him!
I don't want you around!
Go wherever you want!
Get out! Get out of my sight!
Come back!
What are you doing?
You're leaving because of what Mother said?
You feel insulted after what you did?!
Look what it's done to your mother!
I'll find a way to pay back the $ 10,000 NTD.
What did you say?
Who are you to hit me?
You're not my father!
What right do you have to hit me?
Go apologize to your father!
Get down on your knees and apologize!
Kneel down!
I'm not your father! Go find yeur father and kneel before him!
I haven't been that fortunate!
Mrs. Bi!
Tzu!
How come you're still outside playing?
Mother isn't home.
Where's the doctor?
Did the doctor arrive yet?
Hurry, Doctor! Inside, hurry!
Chu-chia's father, Good-bye,
I'm so sorry,
I've $ 1,500 NTD in a box on the dresser,
Mrs. Chu across the street owes me some money,
you can ask her about it.
En-en's supposed to go for his shots on Monday,
don't forget also, listen?
Chu-chia,
obey your father please,
so I can rest in peace.
By Chu-chia's mother, Hsiu-ying.
Mr. Chu,
I really appreciate your helping to find a plot.
I think..., my wife had an attachment to the soil...
Once the grave is finished...,
about this big?
I've already selected a monument,
it's made of the best stone, very expensive one.
She always saved money for me,
she didn't even like to spend money on clothes.
It's not fair! How could I not know her mind?
We were together for ten years!
In ten years, I never spoke a harsh word to her,
then I spoke in anger, and she took to heart,
it just isn't fair!
Sometimes I thought of her as a daughter.
What could I give her?
A home, security...
What else could I do?
And now she's gone!
It just isn't fair!
In the 2nd year since Mrs. Bi has passed away,
Mr. Bi retired and left Tamsui.
I learned that he opened a grocery store
with some Honanese friends in Taipei.
I think he was the only one for her,
but love always brings some pain and sorrow.
She strove for perfection.
For her, death was preferable to failure.
Just before Little Bi finished the ninth grade,
he decided to go to the Air Force prep school.
Mr. Bi wouldn't agree to his plans, though.
Mr. Bi never forgot his promise to Mrs. Bi
that he would send Little Bi to college.
Little Bi never told him his main reason, though,
he wanted to leave his former life behind him.
He was still young
and the world is a big place, he wanted to make a fresh start.
The next time I saw him was at a class reunion,
we all met for dinner at the Star Restaurant.
When his friends from elementary school saw him,
the called him "Little Bi" just like before.
Tung!
Little Bi! Such a long time!
Get a chair and sit down over here!
What's up? How's life?
Pretty much the same. I drive a cab now.
I've got the all-night shift.
Chu Hsiao-fan! Right?
My dad opened a small supermarket,
it's a great success,
he has five or six employees,
and free for chess.
Tzu takes his high school entrance test this year.
En-en's the sixth grade.
How are your folks?
Fine!
Do you remember...
The time you had a girl over your house...
I was really worried when your dad came back!
You mean Chen Yu-yen?
I hear she's married!
Really?
That's what I hear.
