(Happy Chinese New Year)

Mi Lan.

If you don't want to go home,

you can spend the New Year at my place.

It's fine.

Ms. Liu gave me a call just now

and invited me over to have the reunion dinner with them.

Fine.

Pay me a visit tomorrow morning.

I'll tell my dad to give you a big red packet.

Sure.

Come on in.

Here.

I just cooked this red bean paste.

Take one each.

Try it at home.

Uncle Yan.

Why don't you come over to our place tonight?

It's the New Year's Eve.

The more, the merrier.

It's fine.

I'm used to spending time alone.

I'll feel uneasy

at your place.

I like being alone.

Bring it home.

Thank you, Uncle Yan.

Junze, you're here.

I made a pot of red bean paste.

Bring some home and share it with your mum.

Let's eat together.

It's the New Year.

You should eat at home too.

Sure. I'll turn off the stove.

I'm back.

You're back right on time.

Wash your hands and get ready for dinner.

Where's mum?

Did you make this?

10 points for getting the correct answer.

Go and get your mum.

(Welcoming a joyous new year.)

(And with lanterns, we are ready to receive a new spring.)

(Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.)

(We're here)

(to wish you a happy new year.)

Mum.

Try this.

The fish dad made tastes really good.

Zheng, you have improved.

Dad, you used to not care about things in the kitchen,

even when the soy sauce was spilled all over.

It's really different this time.

Keep working on it.

I'm sure I can do it.

You should continue to help out in the restaurant.

In the meantime,

try to find a job that suits you

and settle down.

If you've realized this earlier,

Madam Gong Xiaoqin wouldn't have to

worry about you.

She also wouldn't have grown so much grey hair.

Right, mum?

What does it have anything to do with me?

Today,

we're going to bid farewell to the past year and welcome a new year.

It's also when we gather around as a family.

Let me propose a toast.

Dad, don't drink too much.

Drink moderately.

Don't worry. I'm just taking a few sips.

During the past few days,

I managed

to figure out a few things.

I can sum them up into two main points.

The first one.

Who is Zheng Yingjun?

I only care about how I appear before others and never work hard.

I've never given your mum

anything good.

Whenever I have a little extra money, I become full of myself

and eventually go back to being the poor guy I always am.

Dad, it's the New Year.

Why are you bringing this up?

The second one.

Who is Gong Xiaoqin?

When she was younger, she was a very fashionable lady.

She always wanted to be at the cutting edge of fashion.

Back then,

she wanted to travel the world,

but she ended up staying in Baihe with me.

It's been more than 20 years,

and I haven't even brought her to Sanya before.

I've let you down.

Gong Xiaoqin, I have a few words for you.

My dear,

you have suffered a lot

over the past years.

If you want to go to Shenzhen,

you should go ahead.

Families

don't always have to sit at the same table,

or live under the same roof.

We don't need that to make us a family,

right?

Are you done yet?

Here.

Cheers.

Time to cook the dumplings.

The New Year's Gala is going to start soon.

(What are you doing?)

(Are you watching the New Year's Gala?)

Who cares about the New Year's Gala?

I'm doing the dishes.

(Starry Sky Restaurant) I'm back at the restaurant.

Why are you there?

I only went home for the reunion dinner.

I worry that I might quarrel with my dad if I overstay my welcome.

Dazhi, what are you doing?

Dazhi, are you going off work?

(Hedong Police Station) Happy new year, Niuniu.

Happy new year, Uncle.

I just finished my shift.

Niuniu and I are going to play firecrackers now.

Come here.

Happy new year, Uncle and Aunt.

I wish you a happy year ahead.

Thank you, Niuniu.

We wish you a happy new year too.

Let's play firecrackers together.

I'll bring the fireworks I have.

Sure. Let's meet at the restaurant.

Let's go.

(Starry Sky Restaurant)

Mu.

You don't look too good.

Did you lose weight?

Don't you think he's lost weight?

I don't think so.

My dad...

My dad has been having some issues with his stomach.

It's been there for a while.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Take care of yourself.

Daqian, have your parents made up?

I have no idea.

But at least, they're not fighting anymore.

However, my mum could be leaving.

Where is she going?

Shenzhen.

She has always wanted to go there.

Then, they would have to part ways.

I've been thinking about this recently.

What if the happy ending I want

for them,

is just my own selfish wish?

So I will leave it to my mum to decide.

My dad said,

we don't have to

always sit at the same table

or live under the same roof to be a family.

Junze,

do you still remember the incident that happened when you were little?

You were playing firecrackers.

You were holding a joss stick in this hand,

and a firecracker in that hand.

After you lit it,

you threw away the joss stick instead.

And you burned your glove.

That's right.

I felt so sorry for you.

Dad,

can we watch fireworks together every year?

Sure.

Of course.

Mum.

Watch carefully.

Why?

These fireworks are purple.

It's your favorite color.

It's the most difficult to get a purple firework,

because purple is the most subtle color in the night sky.

It's not easy to make it.

Thank you.

It's here.

It's fine.

Even if we miss it this year, we can always keep it in our mind.

Next year.

We'll watch it together next year.

Next year.

Sure.

We don't always get to gather around like this.

Let's take a group photo together.

- Good idea. - Sure.

- Let's do it. - Let's do it.

- Yes. Sure. - Yes. Sure.

I'll get the camera.

All right.

When I count to three,

everyone will say "happy new year" together.

Sure.

One. Two. Three.

- Happy new year! - Happy new year!

Let's take another one.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Happy new year.

Where did the others go?

They left after they sang "Tonight is Unforgettable".

Why didn't you wake me up when they were leaving?

You were sleeping so soundly,

and I didn't want to wake you up.

What are you carving?

I'm almost done.

All done.

We didn't get to visit the Ice Lantern Show.

I can only make it up with this.

I heard

there's an ice lantern in the festival which can grant your wishes.

I don't know what it looks like,

so I made this up myself.

Let's make a wish.

Sure.

Mu Zili,

what wish did you make?

I hope

we can go back in time.

I hope

time can freeze.

(Astronomers have recently discovered)

(that Asteroid 2022TC4)

(will possibly have a close brush with earth)

(on the first of March.)

(The size of the extraterrestrial object)

(is most probably similar to or larger)

(than the meteoroid)

(that was found in Chelyabinsk)

(back in 2013.)

(We are expecting to see a bolide.)

The first of March?

Wasn't it the day I came here?

(Starry Sky Restaurant)

The other stores only reopen after the 15th.

But look at us.

Why are we in such a hurry to make money?

I'm too bored at home.

I like working.

Aunt Mi Lan. Aunt Daqian.

Look at the camera.

Aunt Mi Lan looks better.

Niuniu.

Niuniu.

Uncle Yan.

Take a photo of me too.

I'll give you a red packet.

Yan, you're finally here.

You know what.

This kid spent the whole morning talking about you.

Really?

What's the matter, Niuniu?

Did you miss me?

Uncle, do you think

we're going to see a meteor shower?

Are we?

This kid saw it on the television,

and said that we'd see a bolide in Baihe very soon.

Dad, let's go pick some meteors.

We'll use them to decorate our house.

Niuniu.

Meteors will turn into rocks once they hit the earth.

Here.

For you.

It's nice watching the meteor shower,

but what if

it causes a major power outage?

Then, the traffic will be very congested,

and I will be very busy.

Dazhi,

the bolide we saw last time

caused a power outage too, right?

The last time...

Now you've reminded me.

In the last November,

the entire Tieyuan

and Baihe

blacked out.

If a bolide can cause a power outage,

will it confuse time and space too?

Do you think it's like what happened in the movie, "Your Name"?

Yan.

I have a question.

If

there really is a parallel universe,

will the bolide

swap two universes?

This sounds like a science fiction.

Why are you interested in this all of a sudden?

I'm just curious.

Yan, do you still remember it?

Do you remember

when exactly we last saw the bolide?

I can't remember.

If you really want to know,

I'll find the answer for you when I am back to the office.

Let's go.

Let's go now.

Now?

Yes.

Stop working.

We're going out.

Let's go.

Zixi,

buy your own lunch later.

Your dad is not feeling well.

Let him rest a bit.

Sure.

What about you, mum?

I'm going to the studio.

I have things to do.

What do you want for lunch?

Anything.

Have you brought dad to the hospital?

I have.

What's wrong with dad?

Zixi.

Dad is only having an upset stomach.

You should go to school first.

I'll bring him to the hospital again later today.

Go ahead.

(Supervisor, Yan Junze)

According to the record of the previous year,

(A Major Blackout) a bolide was seen

(Tieyuan) at Northeast China

on the first of November.

It appeared at about 11 P.M.

and stayed until the next morning.

Yes.

I arrived at dawn that day.

When I got off the train,

there was a massive power outage.

I looked up and immediately saw the bolide.

Then, I found myself here.

When will we see the next bolide?

According to the news, it'll be on the first of March.

We'll keep observing

to find out what time it will happen.

Will it happen in Baihe again?

You said that you saw the bolide

in Tieyuan Station previously.

Let's check that place out.

(One-Stop Service Reception Center)

Dad, have a rest here.

I'll go and get the lab report.

Are you my son?

Dad.

Dad, what are you talking about?

My son

isn't as kind as you.

I wasn't this kind,

but I'll work on it in the future.

I'll take good care of mum, Zixi,

and you.

Go ahead.

(Oncology)

(Report Printing)

Isn't dad having an upset stomach?

Why are you in the Oncology Department?

Why did you lie to me?

What actually happened to dad?

Tell me.

Say something.

Pancreatic cancer.

The final stage.

He can't continue with his chemotherapy.

The doctor suggested we transfer him back to Baihe.

Zixi.

Dad doesn't want to see us sad.

He didn't tell you and mum about this,

because he didn't want you to worry.

Dad doesn't have much time left.

Don't let him waste his time comforting us.

All right?

Excuse me.

Dad.

(Oncology) Dad.

Here. One. Two. Go.

Slow down.

You said there was a massive power outage

when you arrived,

right?

You think

it was the bolide

that brought you to this universe.

I finally understand what you said.

You're definitely not her.

I've been wondering

why you're so different

from the Zheng Daqian I used to know.

Your character has changed,

and you lost your memories too.

You can't even skate anymore,

which was something you did best.

Yan, you finally believe what I said,

right?

I believe you.

(Unknown Number)

Hey.

What's wrong?

Hey.

I don't know.

I can only hear

some noises.

Daqian,

can you tell me

where the Zheng Daqian of this universe

has gone?

I guess she's in the universe I came from.

What... What's going on here?

Hey.

Mum.

When are you and your dad coming home?

Something happened

in dad's factory.

We'll go home once we settle this.

You should go to bed now.

Which hospital are you in?

Baihe or Tieyuan?

We're in Baihe.

How's your dad?

He passed out

this afternoon.

They're trying to rescue him now.

Calm down, mum.

Zixi and I are here and keep an eye on him.

All right. I got it.

I'll be right there.

(Tieyuan)

(Tieyuan) The Zheng Daqian you know

(Tieyuan)

was at the platform.

I saw her a few months back.

How did she look?

I only saw her for a few seconds.

I don't quite remember what happened.

It's likely

that this is caused by the bolide.

Bolide?

A bolide

is a high-mass meteoroid.

After it enters the atmosphere,

it'll come into a close brush with earth,

and emit very bright light...

Wait a minute.

Can you slow down?

I'm not good at physics.

My Zheng Daqian was quite good at physics.

Fine.

Let me give you an analogy.

Look.

This is your universe.

This is our universe.

When the bolide appears,

the two universes

coincide at this point.

At this point,

our universes share the same time and space.

This is what we call the fourth dimension of space.

The more you talk, the more confused I get.

Have they released the movie "Interstellar"

in your universe?

They have.

It's just like the ending of the movie.

I didn't understand the movie.

What about this?

Simply put,

if a bolide appears

on the first of March,

then there's a chance

you'll meet our Zheng Daqian

at Tieyuan Station.

Then, you might be able

to use Tieyuan Station as the center point

and return to the universe you came from.

There's finally something I understand.

It'd be really great if I can go back.

If I can go back,

then your Zheng Daqian might be able to come back here too.

Then, we'll return to the right time.

Hey.

We'll be right back.

What happened?

(Operating Room)

Is Mu Guoliang's family here?

Doctor, how's the patient?

The patient's vital signs are very stable now.

We did an abdominal drainage for him.

It has significantly relieved his abdominal pain and bloating.

What can he eat

when he's awake?

It's been more than a day since he last ate anything.

He must be starving.

This...

It depends, because he's still unconscious now.

We don't know for sure if he'll gain his consciousness.

I would like to know

what he can eat if he wakes up.

Then...

Mashed vegetables,

or things like Chinese yam.

Eat in moderation.

Sure.

Thank you.

Lizi,

stay here with your dad.

I'll go home and make some food.

Excuse me, may I know where the operating room is?

Over there.

Thank you.

Zixi, why are you sitting here?

How is Uncle Mu?

He might not be able to regain consciousness.

I saw him lying there.

It felt like I was very close

to losing him.

Zixi, pull yourself together.

Uncle Mu is really proud of you.

How is Uncle Mu?

He's still in a coma.

Where is Aunt Hui?

She's gone home to cook for my dad.

We're not as good an actor as my mum is.

She knew about this a long time ago.

When two people are in love,

they'll be able to feel

the slightest change.

Dad and mum are stronger than we thought.

Uncle Mu needs you a lot right now.

Cheer up.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Like my dad always said,

stop being sad.

I'll go and get some paperwork done.

Give me the bills. I'll do it.

You should eat something while you're here.

Aren't you hungry?

Would you like anything to eat?

Have something.

Uncle Mu will wake up very soon.

Eat something,

so that you'll have the strength to put on an act later.

(Baihe People's Hospital)

You're all here.

I can't lie

to you anymore.

I didn't know

you were pretty good at acting.

You even asked your son to do it with you.

You've been acting for quite a while.

It was as if we were playing house.

Fine. I'll join you then.

Let's keep playing until you recover from this completely.

All right?

Did you place

the amulet there?

Let's go.

Bring me home.

I'm getting homesick.

I haven't played

the purple fireworks for you.

I know.

You wanted to do it

during the New Year.

You knew about everything.

I also know

that this disease is curable.

You can be cured.

Sure.

I'll listen to you.

We're living in the information age.

There's nothing we can't cure.

I'll talk to the doctor.

What are you doing?

What a lousy hospital.

If they can't do it, we'll transfer to a bigger hospital.

I could call my buddies in other cities.

We can go to Tieyuan or Harbin.

If it won't work, we can also transfer him to Beijing.

Zheng, listen to me.

It has nothing to do with the hospital.

Calm down.

Have a seat.

What are you talking about?

It's definitely the hospital's fault.

Dad, calm down.

Get up.

We've visited all major hospitals

and they said they couldn't save him.

Dad.

Stay here.

We'll play fireworks together

when you recover.

Promise me

that you'll take good care of your mum.

You will, right?

Yes, I will.

Zixi,

I like how you can always think

independently.

Remember to show him support

as he pursues his goals.

You too.

You've changed.

You are now

a real man.

I hope you

can take care of this family.

Promise me.

I promise you, Dad.

Dad.

You've planned out everything for everyone,

but what about yourself?

What have you done

for yourself?

Tell me what you want.

I...

I only want

to stay

with your mum.

Dad wants to

spend some time alone with mum.

(Baihe People's Hospital)

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

I'm fine.

My life has been great

because of you.

Let's make a deal.

Don't resuscitate me.

Let me move on

peacefully.

And you

should move on

unworriedly too.

When we meet again,

I...

I...

I'll put everything...

I'll put everything

together.

I won't...

I won't...

I won't let you worry.

Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Be careful.
