Excuse me, got a light?

Lao ma is famous
for broiled potatoes.

Thank you.

- No, no, no,

All no good.

Hello!

Hello.

Nice to meet you.
I'm Park Dong-Ha.

You're early.

Oh, you're Korean.

Yeah...

Oh, of course!
Pleased to meet you!

Did your flight arrive early?

Think it was on time.

Oh, I see...

Let's get going.
Shall we?

Phew!

Easy, easy.

Are you ok?

You're getting a taste of China.

Slow down...

Sichuan is famous for four things...

beautiful women, pandas,
liquor, and food.

You've heard of
Sichuan Hot Pot, right?

This is where it originated.

Let's eat.

Dig in.

That looks good, what is it?

Oh... it's called Fei Chang Fen.

Very famous dish in Sichuan.

Would you like to try?

It's ok.

Come, come, here, try it.
It's ok.

Thank you.

To do business in China,
you gotta learn to eat this stuff.

Water please!

Have this.

This should be OK.

We have time left after lunch.
Any place you care to see?

Water!

- Excuse me.
- No, don't worry about it.

You must like Du Fu.

Yes.

Stand there,
I'll take a picture of you.

- It's ok.
- Go ahead.

No, really. Let's go.

- Personally, I like Li Bai.
- I see.

Want to try?

May I help you?

How much is this?

This? It's 380 thousand Yuan.

380 thousand?

How can a block of wood be
380 thousand?

Excuse me,

how much is this?

No, no. I don't work here.

How much is this?

I don't work here.

She's not...?

One of the special features
of this park

is the ten or so different types
of bamboo trees.

And Dufu was also very famous
for poems about bamboo.

Ok follow me this way please.

On your left, you will see a reconstruction
of the humble cottage Dufu lived,

it was built in 1811

after the original was destroyed
in a strong storm after

Dufu left Chengdu.

Ok, let's go this way please.

As you will notice,
there are some peach blossom trees.

Dufu was said to be very fond
of the peach blossoms.

And planted them to give his home
a more natural look.

In the center of the house
was the living room. And...

Sorry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Don't you remember?
I'm from Sichuan.

Oh, yeah! Yeah. That's right.

- So how are you?
- I'm great. And you?

I'm good. I'm great.

When did you get here?

Oh, I just flew in today.

- Mr. Park.
- Ah, yes.

I looked all over for you.

Oh, this is a friend of mine
from college.

May, this is Mr. Nam,
my colleague here in China

Hi, it's nice to meet you,
I'm May.

- How do you do?
- Oh,

- Are you Chinese?
- No, I'm Korean.

I've been in Chengdu a while,

but this is the first time
to meet one.

Meet what?

A Sichuan beauty.

Thank you.

I see why you
wanted to come here.

What?

Well, this is no chance meeting.
We must get a picture taken.

Okay.

Take a picture for us.

Take a picture for us.

- Is it ok?
- Ok.

Ready?

One, two, three

Thank you.

- Let's have some tea together sometime...
- Sure.

By the way,
do you like Korean food?

- Yes, I do.
- I see...

I have to go. But how long
are you staying for?

- How long should I stay?
- What?

Tell you what.
How about dinner tonight?

Oh I can't. I have plans.
But can I call you after dinner?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Ok, see you.

- Yeah, see you.
- Good-bye.

- See you again.
- May.

Uh? Thanks.

What was all
that you were saying?

Oh... I was saying
what a great guy you were.

Isn't spring just wonderful?

Spring the long view

One more please!
A real thirst quencher this time.

You are so quiet.
What's on your mind?

Nothing.

I think I'm just little shocked
seeing you here.

No, actually you were
always quiet.

Hey! What are you talking about?
Don't you remember?

- I used to talk a lot.
- No...

I remember you being boring.

Me? Boring?

No. Remember
the first time we met?

You laughed
at everything I did.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Ok.

I'll make you laugh.

Watch.

See? I told you.

No seasoning.

What about garlic?

So when did you get back?

Maybe...
a year after you left.

Did You like the bicycle
that I left you?

Bicycle?

What bicycle?

The one that I left you
before I went back home.

Oh, that yellow one.

Yeah...

- I sold it.
- What? You sold it?

Well... I didn't know
how to ride it

- So I sold it.
- Wait,

How can you not know how to?

I taught you myself

I gave you lessons for like three days
in the school parking lot.

I don't like bikes.

I'm probably the only person
in China who doesn't ride one.

Ok. Fine.

But how could you
just sell it like that?

Especially since it was a
gift from me.

Well... why did you give me
something I couldn't use?

Wow... How could you be so...

Is that how you treat
all your boyfriends?

Wait a minute. It's not like
we were dating back then.

- Yes, we were.
- You and me?

- Yes.
- No.

Yes, you and I

What are you making up?

What are you making up,
to you, too!

How can you forget that?

Yeah, I remember you hitting on
Satoko all the time.

What? No, no way.
She was hitting on me.

Actually...
I had a crush on you.

- Really?
- Yes.

I don't remember any of this.

That's because, you were going out
with Ben at that time.

Me and Ben?

Yeah, I heard that
you guys were... you know...

- Who told you that?
- I don't remember.

That's crazy.

Yeah, it might have been crazy,

but when I heard that,
I was heartbroken.

May

Do you remember
what I told you?

No, tell me.

- I love you.
- What?

When was this?

It was...

- It was on your birthday.
- Oh, yeah? When's my birthday?

- May?
- You are such a liar.

Ok.

Please don't tell me
you forgot our other thing.

What thing?

- Our kiss.
- What? No!

Yeah... maybe you don't remember
but I'm sure your lips will.

Hey! Show me
how you kissed me.

Like you said,
if our lips remember,

it shouldn't be too hard, right?

I knew you were lying.

Ok I can prove it.

- Prove what?
- That it's all true.

What are you talking about?

That I'm not lying and that
you know how to ride a bicycle.

Ok try.

Alright. If I can prove it,
what will you do?

Well... then I guess
you'd be right about the bike

and that you liked me

and that you kissed me.

Ok. Let's sleep together.

What? wait!
What happened to you?

Ok. First...
let me prove it to you

and then we can finish
this conversation. Ok?

Ok.

Do you wanna
come up to my room?

Anyway you and Ben weren't.

C'mon, stop it!

- Hello?
- Hey, good morning, Ben.

- Who is this?
- It's Dong Ha.

- Wow Dongha? It's been a while.
- Yeah, I know. It's been a while.

Actually I'm in China right now.

China?

who I bumped into?

Oh my god let me guess, May?

Yeah. May...

Hey, do you still have
any pictures of May and me?

You and May?

Yeah... there should be one
with us riding bikes together.

- Could you find it for me?
- Yeah I'll look.

Hey, one more thing.

Did I ever date Satoko?

You and Satoko?

- No, right?
- No.

- How about you and May?
- Me and May?

- What's wrong with you man?
- No no no, just wondering.

Mr. Wang!

How've you been?

This is Mr. Park from
the Korean head office.

I'm Piao Dong...
Piao Dong Heh

Piao Dong Heh

Is that Dong as in dung?

Yeah, exactly. Listen, Dong!

Dong.

Dong! Piao Dong Heh.

How've you been?

How's the market these days?

Couldn't be better.

DX 350LC is a 35-ton
all-weather product

that's even better than
the 37-ton machines.

The new control links the engine

to the pump with electric signals,

making it possible to have
a constant, maximum power level.

Slow down...

The very first domestic...

case of using the axial pump.

Good afternoon, listeners!

This is a special program marking
the anniversary of the Sichuan Earthquake

brought to you by Radio Sichuan FM
to raise funds for its victims.

May 12 Wenchuan Earthquake

This is one of the
most severely hit areas.

The death toll
was obviously high.

How are you all?
Working hard?

- Had lunch yet?
- Yes.

This is Mr. Park from
the Korean head office.

How's it going?

This way, please.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Mr. Park, looking for
the bathroom?

No.

Even worse than
you imagined, right?

Yes.

Since you're leaving tomorrow,

how about some kimchi stew
and soju tonight?

I'm so sorry, but I can't tonight.

Oh, is that so?

Well, wonder if I'll have to eat
by myself...

Ok, let's go.

By the way, what was the name of
that dish with pig intestines?

- Fei Chang Fen.
- Fei Chang Fen.

Why? Want to eat that?

No, I want to avoid that.

- The smell of it!
- It's an acquired taste.

- Where's Mr. Mah?
- He's outside.

You came to see me?

You want my help with
something.

- Had lunch yet?
- Yes, and you?

Me, too.

What did you have?

Nothing good.

You have a call.

When did you say
your dissertation was due?

The end of the month.

Once the dissertation is over,

I guess you'll go back to school.

I don't know.

I'm still thinking.

You know, May,

Du Fu once said,

'The human heart can't keep
everything inside.'

- You know what that means?
- Sir!

Du Fu never said that!

- Hey Ben!
- Hey Dongha.

- What are you doing?
- Nothing much.

Yeah... Did you find it?

- No?
- Not yet, sorry man.

Ok. If you do,

- could you send it to my cell phone?
- Yeah sure.

Follow me this way please.

The gate you are now passing
is the south gate of the Du Fu Park.

See you.

I miss you.

Not 'I miss you,'
but 'I missed you.'

- I missed you.
- Yeah. Right.

What do you feel like eating?

- Whatever you like.
- Oh...You always do that.

- You pick this time.
- You remember me now.

Ok. Let's have
some special Chinese food.

Could you take us
to Cheng Hua Lu?

Good evening,
a table for two?

- Yes.
- This way please. Watch your step.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

So... were you here
when the earthquake struck last year?

Yes.

I saw on the news
how terrible it was.

Were you ok?

Oh, I just remembered.

What?

You always ate Kimchi
at every meal.

That's because I'm Korean.

But... It was so stinky.

May?

You know...

if you had liked Kimchi,
we could've been a perfect couple.

No, we would've been
married by now,

if you had liked Chinese food.

You have a really
bad memory, don't you?

I love Chinese food.

Delicious!

Why is there a peacock
out there?

This restaurant is
famous for peacock.

Really?

Do they really eat peacock
in Sichuan?

Yes...

is it delicious?

I don't know.

Just kidding.

Are you sure?

It's just chicken.

Don't kidding with me.

Ok then. I have to order you
something else.

Excuse me!

- May, I'm ok. I'm full.
- It's really good.

2 bowls of Fei Chang Fen!

Coming up!

Trust me.

Dongha,

I like a man
who can eat his feichangfen.

So how is it?

I'm glad you like it.

Come.

Come on.

Shall we?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Now, shall we dance?

I forgot how to.

Don't worry. I will lead.

So when's your flight tomorrow?

It's at 11:30 in the morning.

- I wish I can give you a ride to...
- No, no...no, it's ok.

Don't worry.

It really is the season of
good rain.

It's a line from Dufu's poetry.

It means good rain knows
when to come.

It was a part of my thesis
for grad school.

I thought
you wanted to be a poet.

Yeah, I know.

I don't know what happened.

I thought this job
was going to be temporary.

And that after I got my first pay check,
I'd quit and start writing again,

but then the next one came

and then I got a promotion,

and then

more responsibilities.

You know... It just got
harder and harder to quit.

You know...
I really loved your writing.

Thanks.

So did you ever get
my post card?

Why didn't you write back?

I must have written
a thousand letters.

But I could never send them.

Why?

Honestly?

Yes, of course.

At first I didn't have the time,

and then by the time I did...

I was in another relationship.

What was she like?

- May?
- Yes?

If I could prove to you
that I loved you from the start,

would it change anything?

Dongha, do you think the spring comes
because the flowers blossom

or the flowers blossom
because the spring comes?

What does that mean?

Oh, I almost forgot.
So where's your proof?

That's coming.

I knew you were just bluffing.

Do you remember
when I told you that I loved you?

I should go.

You, fool...

I envy you, Mr. Park.

Excuse me?

- You're single, right?
- Right.

There you are.

Hi, Dongha, where are you?

I'm at the airport.

Do you still have some time?

Yeah, I think so.
Why?

I forgot to give you something.

So... wait for me. Ok?

- Ok.
- Bye.

Sir, I need to
take a day off today.

What's the matter?
Anything wrong?

No, just take it off
my vacation days.

what are you doing here
so early?

What are you looking for?

I'll find it for you.

Are you done?

You still have time left.
How about some tea?

I should get going. I have to
do some shopping and all.

I'll see you off then.

Too bad we never got
to drink soju together.

You can go now.

No, I'll see you leave and then go.

No, don't trouble yourself.

It's no trouble at all.

No really, it's ok.

Well... it's really ok.

It's really ok.

It's ok.

I insist on seeing you off,
Mr. Nam.

I feel bad...

Let's have soju together
sometime.

Yes, of course. I'll call you
when I get back to Seoul

Have a safe trip!

Thank you, good-bye.

Ok then, I'm leaving.

Here, this is for you.

Thanks.

Aren't you supposed to be
at work right now?

I forgot today was my day off.

- So...
- So... bye.

Ok. Bye...

Hey! Do you wanna
grab a cup of coffee?

Actually I was really
thinking about getting one.

Thanks again.

You know... you should
really start writing again.

If I do...

you will be the first one to read it.

You look sad.

Is it because I'm leaving?

Or because we couldn't finish
our conversation.

What conversation?

The other night, you said
if I prove it to you...

You know...

Anyway why did you lie to me?

Well... I just stop
riding bicycles one day

and then

when I tried again
I just couldn't.

Since when?

Since about a year ago

If you want,
I can teach you again

No. It's ok.

Flight CA 126...

Hey! you have to go.

Excuse me

Can we get some refills?

- Sure, no problem.
- Thanks.

Hey! You are gonna
miss your flight.

May?

May?

Should I stay another day?

Dongha.

Ok.

Can you give me a moment?

I'm starving.

Hey! I'll be your tour guide today.

Ok. How much do I have to pay?

Depends on how nice you are.

Ok.

Way to go! Keep going!

May? I will be right back.

- Hello! Long time no see!
- Good evening.

But... Where have we met?

- I'm the 'Sichuan Beauty.'
- Oh, right, the Sichuan Beauty!

Hello again, good to see you!

It's too bad,
but Mr. Park left today...

Sorry.

- Ni hao.
- Ni hao.

Is that you, Mr. Park?

Oh, Mr. Nam!

I was just about to call you.

Oh... You should've told me,

I'm not that dense, you know.

You go wait.
Let's have a drink of soju.

I'll be right there
as soon as I'm done.

Dongha, good rain knows
when to come.

Not today.

Thank you.

I'm ok.

I'm not that dense.

Just this one drink,
then I'll leave.

Just this one, and I'll go.

Cheers!

Don't drink too much.

I'll be fine.

The Korean Soju is nothing
compared to Chinese alcohol.

What are you saying?

Soju's like water.

It's mild and sweet.

Cheers! Cheers!

You know,
being alone for so long,

you need a drink
at night to sleep.

There's a time to work
and a time to drink, I say!

Yes, of course.

Don't start funny rumors
about me back home.

Don't you worry.

Drink slow.

- Let me pour you a drink.
- Ok.

Bottoms up.

Here, let me pour you one more.

I meant to call you before, but...

Anyway I'm glad
we ran into each other.

You should've just told me.

Miss Sichuan Beauty...

No thank you.
I've had enough.

Mr. Park, when I
first came to China,

I stayed away from Korean food.

Be Chinese, I said to myself,
to work with the Chinese.

Mr. Nam, we should get going.

Sure, sure.

Let's just finish
what we ordered first.

Just this one then.

Mr. Park, how long have you been
with the company?

Let's really call it a night.

Ok, ok, let's...

As soon as we finish this.

You can finish this one, too.

When you first arrive in China,

bee-bee-beep, all the time,
everywhere, you just go crazy.

But, you know, after a while,
you just LOVE this place.

No one says anything
whether you jaywalk... or whatever.

It's like a small oasis of chaos
in the big order of things.

Excuse me a minute.

Oh, of course, go, go.

You are coming back, though.

May. are you O.K?

I'm sorry.

It's O.K.

Hey, let's go back to my room.

Dongha, I'm married.

I'll be inside.

Daddy, are there lots of
yummy things there?

- My daughter.
- She's cute.

- Isn't she?
- Yeah.

Where's May?

She had to go.
Something urgent came up.

What about this...?

I'll give it to her.

I thought
you weren't coming back.

I wouldn't do that.

Here, let me pour you a drink.

No, no, I've still got some.

Mr. Park,

when I was studying in China...

You know,
love does have borders.

- Hi, Mom...
- How are you, May?

I'm fine.

Can you go with me
the day after tomorrow?

The day after tomorrow?

I don't think I can.

- I'll just stay home.
- Alright, do that then.

I'm sorry, Ma.

It's ok.
Take care of yourself.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hello?

Dongha

May?

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's yours.

Thanks.

Let me take you to the airport.

No, you don't need to.

You're going to be late.

Ok. Just let me check out.

So... will you be coming back
to China often?

Actually no.

I'm just filling in for someone
on his honeymoon.

How about you?

Did you ever get married?

No, not yet.

You should get married
before it's too late

Isn't there someone you love?

You know...

You are too nice to every girl.

Girls don't like that

Just give all your attention
to the girl you really care about

That's all you have to do.

May!

May, are you ok?

I'm ok.

I'm ok.

- Speakers maybe?

Doesn't look like it.

What are you guys looking at?

- What's this?
- We don't know.

May,

For me?

Yeah, looks like
it's from overseas.

Dear May,

Sorry for the late reply.

It's been raining here
all day long.

I think it came
all the way from Cheng Du.

I hope to see you soon.

And...

I miss you.

Dongha

Two assistants are enough.
