[Ten Years]

[Episode 3 Life is like a cliff. There's no way back.]

I never expected

that my university life would end like this.

Uncle Li's words were too cruel.

But what's more cruel is

what he said is the truth.

I had a hard time along the way.

It was because of Wang Ran's attitude

but also because that my impulse

showed my incompetence.

It's June in a blink of an eye.

We all graduated successfully.

I was very lucky

to get an internship at the TV station.

A new life

is about to start.

Sister. Stop crying.

Have some.

Why are you...

Brother.

Brother.

Where are Dad and Mom? What happened?

I bought the wine with my own money.

It's none of your business.

-Brother! -Mom!

Get out!

How dare you control me?

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Mom.

Lin Zhifu.

Can you stop drinking every day

and hitting people after drinking?

You brat!

I support you to go to college

for you to teach me a lesson?

The tuition and living expenses

were covered by my student loans

and the money I earned from my part-time job.

They were not provided by you.

You brat!

Kneel down! Kneel down!

All of you, go out and close the door.

Take mom out.

Get out!

Lin!

Get out!

Get out!

Lin!

-Open the door! Lin! -Dad!

Dad!

-Lin! -Dad!

Don't hit my son!

You unfilial brat.

You've been in college for four years.

Do you think I don't dare to hit you?

Right?

Am I right?

Being stubborn.

How dare you talk back to me?

Can't I handle you anymore?

You've grown up, haven't you?

Being stubborn.

Shut up!

Can't I handle you anymore?

What are you doing?

You just hit me 22 times.

I'm 22 years old.

You gave birth to me.

So I endured it.

I endured it for 22 years.

But that was the last time you hit me.

Okay, you've grown up.

I can't hit you anymore.

Right?

Yes.

I've grown up.

I graduated.

I have a job now.

I'll take care of this family from now on.

And let me tell you,

if you dare to hit my mom again,

or my brother and sister again,

I'll send you to jail myself.

I promise.

Brother.

-Brother. -Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Brother, are you okay?

Alright, don't see me off.

Go back.

Don't tire yourself out.

Got it, Mom. Don't worry.

Brother, come back to visit us when you have time.

Of course.

You two, be good

and study hard.

Got it, Brother.

I'll get going then.

♫ Time, you come and go, it doesn't matter ♫

♫ I am like an onlooker, quietly watching you ♫

♫ Night, you come and go, it's alright ♫

♫ Streetlights and the sun alike, they illuminate the eyes ♫

♫ Jialing River, you come and go, don't be sad ♫

♫ I am just like you, starting the journey from Chaotianmen ♫

♫ You say you come from afar ♫

♫ But the only place you can't bear to leave is Chongqing ♫

♫ Every day, you flow beneath my feet ♫

♫ In my memories, there is no other past but you ♫

♫ Mom, I've come back, you're so happy ♫

♫ Touching my face, you say I've lost a few pounds ♫

When I left home that day,

♫ Mom, I'm leaving again, don't worry ♫

I suddenly realized

it took only a fleeting moment

for a boy to become a man.

♫ Consider it as if I'm embarking on a beautiful journey to a distant place ♫

I suddenly felt

I had become a man.

♫ Mom, don't be sad ♫

The road in front of me was my future.

♫ I see tears shimmering in your eyes ♫

Behind me

♫ I just long to live like a man ♫

was my responsibility and my home.

[Sanxia Second-hand Motorcycle Flagship Shop]

Bro, an apartment like this with an independent bathroom

suits newly graduated college students like you best.

This one is good.

Is there a cheaper one?

This is the cheapest one.

Well,

is there a cheaper one?

[Motorcycle and Electric Scooter Repair]

Do you want to rent a house or not?

You always want a cheaper one.

There's a free place that suits you.

Do you want it?

I won't even charge you a brokerage fee.

You get the hell...

[The other party has enabled friend verification, and you are not their friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first, and after the other party verifies it, you can start chatting]

This brat's got fast hands.

He deleted you.

Forget it.

Aren't you asking for trouble yourself?

Can't you stay with me?

If you have money for a big single room,

I won't stop you.

You have no money.

Renting a shabby single room

is no better than adding a bed to stay at my place. Isn't it?

Why rent a house?

Isn't this far from the TV station?

Is it?

Is the Red Army's Long March of 25,000 li far?

Didn't they persist?

From the TV station to my place,

I calculated it.

Take the bus for five stops,

then transfer to the subway for twelve stops.

You can ride the motorcycle at your will.

What else do you want?

It's a deal.

Fine.

Since you're so hospitable,

I will grant your request.

Then you brat,

you should thank me, your Papa.

Shame on you!

Since young,

I've done countless homework for you.

Have you ever thanked me?

How many times

have I fought for you?

From elementary school to high school,

who dared to hurt you?

It was all because I, your Papa, was protecting you.

How dare you mention the fight?

How many self-criticism letters

have I written for you?

You deserved it.

Let's go.

Perfect.

Ke, remember to have breakfast at home.

I'm going to work.

I don't want to.

I'm going to Lane.

[Lane Dry Mixed Minced Noodles Restaurant]

Hello, Mom.

Hello, Ke, what are you doing?

I'm having breakfast.

What are you eating?

Noodles.

How many bowls are you having?

Two bowls.

A bowl of green pepper noodles

and a bowl of eel noodles.

Why do you only having two bowls?

You have to have four bowls.

You should make a pig of yourself.

Then you'll look nice when you're standing there.

Fine.

Mom, I know.

Stop talking.

I'll eat less.

Who told you to eat less?

Seriously,

when will you come back?

Didn't I tell you?

I'll stay in Chongqing and look for opportunities first.

If it doesn't work, I'll go back and take the civil service examination. Don't worry.

I should not worry?

Right.

Let's talk about it when I get into Babaoshan Cemetery.

Right?

Mom.

I never said I definitely won't go back.

Right.

You never said you were going to Mars either.

You'll make a stopover on your way to Mars

to visit home someday, right?

Fine.

I'm going to the interview.

I have to go.

Bye.

My name is Xin Ya.

I also graduated from Xicheng University.

I was one year ahead of you.

I was from the Media Department.

Hello. Senior.

Don't call me Senior.

I've read your resume.

We're the same age.

You're two months older than me.

Our department is right ahead.

Let me introduce our colleagues to you.

This is our photographer.

Xiang.

Hello. Xiang.

Hello.

The post-production editor.

Uncle Zhang.

Nice to meet you, Uncle Zhang.

Nice to meet you.

This is our new colleague, Lin Yicheng.

Your seat is over there.

Thank you.

The lives of the five of us

started like that.

I started a six-month internship

at the TV station.

Chen Tao continued to run his Sanxia motorcycle shop.

Wang Ran went to a real estate company.

Li Wenkai continued to be carefree.

He said

he's on his way to his dream.

Liu Ke joined a kindergarten as a teacher.

That's it.

Time flies.

It's almost the end of October.

New energy is the direction of future energy development.

Mr. Zhu,

please take a look at our questions.

We'll start later.

Okay.

New energy is the direction of future energy development.

Lin Yicheng, where are you?

I'll be there soon.

Didn't I tell you?

I have a sore throat.

You'll do the interview today.

I'm already here.

Building C, Room 803?

Building D, Room 803.

You said it was Building C.

Forget it.

Come over quickly.

Okay.

Mr. Zhu, are you ready?

Almost done. Okay.

Let's get ready.

There's no time. Hurry up.

Okay.

Mr. Zhu, sorry.

Lin, stand on the right.

Okay.

Come on.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Zhu.

Your company specializes in new energy.

I have a few questions for you.

What made you so confident

in the future of new energy?

New energy is the direction of future energy development.

It's undoubtedly true.

This is not only a matter of sustainable development,

but also how our country

can seize the chance to overtake others

in the energy field.

Traditional energies, such as oil...

Lin, come here.

What’s wrong, Uncle Zhang?

Look here. Where is the microphone logo?

The internship will end next week.

There're a total of five people

in your cohort.

In principle, we'll keep three out of five.

You've been doing well.

Of course you should stay.

But now you made

such a stupid mistake.

If you stay,

how can I explain to those who will leave?

Mr. Fang, I won't find any excuse.

This comprehensive interview will be aired on Saturday.

It's Thursday. I still have time.

Please give me another chance.

I'll go to Mr. Zhu

for a reshoot of the video.

Mr. Zhu is very busy now.

Mr. Fang, I will make up for it.

Please trust me this time.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay.

Xiang.

Is this too much?

Wasn't it your idea?

You said you wanted to teach him a lesson.

I did want to teach him a lesson.

I just wanted him to be anxious.

I'll explain to the head later.

Hey, you bastard!

You got something on my clothes.

I'm sorry.

Again?

Are you blind?

Lick it clean for me.

Let me wash it for you.

Wash? Wash what?

I don't need you to wash it.

You don't have to lick it.

But you have to waive the repair fees for me.

The repair...

No way.

I've been working hard for a long time.

You should at least give me some money.

Money? What money?

My clothes are free?

Damn you, fat boy!

Are you looking for trouble?

Close the door.

Hello.

I want to see Mr. Zhu.

What can I do for you?

I'm from the TV station.

My name is Lin Yicheng.

I interviewed Mr. Zhu before.

We missed a few shots.

I want to reshoot them with him.

Is it convenient for him?

I'll tell him later.

But Mr. Zhu is having

a very important meeting.

He can't be disturbed right now.

Please wait a moment.

Okay, I can wait.

According to our management rules,

you can't wait here.

You have to go downstairs.

Okay, got it.

Well, please contact me

after Mr. Zhu

finishes the meeting.

No problem.

Thank you.

That tomboy.

Come out!

Who are you?

Tao, I caused the trouble.

Let me deal with it.

Don't move.

Tell me what happened.

What happened?

You want to know what happened?

Ask her.

He didn’t pay for repair.

Qiu and I gave him a beating.

You call that "a beating"?

You beat me up so badly that my own mother didn't recognize me.

You were insulting me.

I haven't insulted you enough.

Bro, you deserved it.

What did you say?

Bro.

Your people started it.

What?

Don't you know the rules?

What rules?

Since I'm here today,

you can't touch them.

What?

You beat my man up like this.

Shouldn't you give me an explanation?

He bullied me first.

He bullied you first?

With your physique,

even I can't bully you.

How could he bully you?

Tell me. What do you want?

Okay.

Here's the thing.

You will be beaten to the same extent

as he was beaten.

Grab your weapons.

What are you doing?

Okay.

Young man.

You're tough.

Let's go.

Hua.

Are we leaving like this?

They hit me.

Let me ask you.

You didn't even pay for repairing a broken motorcycle.

Do you have no shame?

Hua.

Let's go.

Aren't you afraid

of me like this?

No.

I even feel a little bit exciting.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see your heroic appearance.

That's really a pity.

You didn't see...

The three of us

faced hundreds of them.

So many of them?

But I saw only six or seven people walking outside.

Were there many others ahead?

Why didn't you call the police?

We have our own way of handling things.

That's right.

Right, we have our own way.

Why are you looking for me?

I plan to write my own novel.

I want you to check it for me.

Sure.

I have many stories in my mind anyway.

Really?

I can tell you

all about this matter tonight.

OK.

I’ll figure it out for you.

That yellow-haired guy,

with bandages wrapped around his head...

So awesome?

You hit my feet.

Any problem?

No.

I told you just

to let you know.

Don't always give him money.

Indulgence from a mother often leads to the child's incompetence.

Do you understand this?

Yes, you know everything.

Then find a job for him.

He can't do anything.

How could I let him do anything?

If you didn't find jobs for him,

how could he be competent?

Everything must follow a certain order.

How dare you say that?

If you taught him well,

would he be like this today?

Li Jianxun, don't you have any shame?

Have you ever cared about your child?

You either went on business trips or socialised all day.

You can count the days

you spent with him on your fingers.

How dare you say that?

Mom.

I'm back.

My son, you're back.

Guess what I brought

Chicken feet.

Try it.

Why are there no bones?

I removed them.

My son is so nice to me.

Of course.

Mom,

I've made a career plan recently.

I'm ready to work.

What?

Of course,

I have to work hard
