Don't forget your belongings.

WELCOME TO THE CITY ACADEMY NO. 8
SECONDARY EDUCATION REVOLUTION TEAM

Mr. Zhang.

- Nice to meet you.
- You've arrived.

Students, Mr. Zhang is
the head of Xiping Village.

Welcome.

We can go now. I'll lead the way.

Here's the famous Tree of Heroes.

I know this hawthorn tree.

It's called the Tree of Heroes because,

during the Second Sino-Japanese War,

our soldiers showed heroic devotion here

and became revolutionary martyrs.

After the first hero

was executed by the Japanese at this tree,

countless others were sacrificed here too.

Their blood nourished the tree's soil.

Did you know that hawthorns
normally have white flowers?

But this one is different.

It grew with our heroes' blood,

and the flowers became redder and redder.

Today, the flowers are all red.

Yes, that's the story people tell.

This tree is a great source of inspiration

for our revolution's curriculum.

Greet our guests.

Two students per household.

Okay.

These peasants will be your hosts.
Two students per household.

Remember, don't be a burden
on your household.

You two together, and you two.

You two.

One teacher per household.

Here's one more.

You can stay at my house.

Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

We're here.

She's here.

Her name is Jing.

Auntie.

Huanhuan, call her Auntie Jing.

Auntie Jing.

Come on in.

My daughter Fang stays at school in town

so you can stay in her room.

Stop it, Huanhuan.

This is my eldest son, that's his wife.

This is Huanhuan.

This is Huanhuan.

This is my daughter, Fang.

This is Fang.

My second son, Lin.

Father asked me
to get some water for our guest.

Jing will be living with us.

She's a high school student from the city.
You can learn a lot from her.

Auntie, I'll help you cook.

Good.

So pretty.

Of course,
hair bands from the city are pretty.

Third Uncle also came from the city.

Huanhuan, go get Third Uncle for dinner.

- And bring Auntie Jing with you.
- Okay.

Where's your third uncle?

The Geological Exploration Unit.

I walk along the path leading to the tree

Under the hawthorn tree

The wind gently tousles

The young worker's
And the blacksmith's hair

Lovely Hawthorn

White flowers blossoming
On your branches

Dear Hawthorn

Why are you so sad?

Is this the writer from the city?

No, I'm not a writer.
I'm a student at the No. 8 Academy.

I'm learning about the village history
to help my teacher write a curriculum.

- Are you writing about the hawthorn tree?
- How did you know?

I guessed.

Here.

Here.

You should give it to the child.

Who says candy is just for kids?

Who says candy is just for kids?

That song was lovely.

It's a Russian song called
"The Hawthorn Tree."

It was very popular in the 1950s.

My parents sing it too.

Mr. Zhang said
the Tree of Heroes is special

because it grows red flowers.

Is that true?

It was winter when I got here.

I want to be sure,
because I'm putting it in the curriculum.

Just write down what you've heard.

Is the color of the flowers important?

Of course it's important.

I have an idea.

Why not go and see the flowers in bloom?

When do they bloom?

May or June.

But I return to the city in April.

Then come back and we'll go together.

I might not get the chance.

Jing, sit here.

Fang, Jing is a year older than you.

You should call her Sister.

Sister Jing.

- This is Eldest Brother.
- Eldest Brother.

- This is Sister-in-Law.
- Sister-in-Law.

- This is Second Brother.
- Second Brother.

This isn't army roll call.
You don't have to stand up.

- This is the Third Brother.
- Third Brother.

Third Brother.

I'm not a son in this family.

My name is Sun. I'm with the geology unit.

But Auntie treats me like family,

even though I live with my team.

You can call me by my name,
or you can call me Third.

Third.

Swing your hoe like this.

Grip the handle firmly
to avoid getting calluses.

Unbutton the back for me.

I'm writing.

I'm writing about the hawthorn tree
with red flowers.

You write well.

But writing propaganda
is a waste of your talent.

No.

This is for the revolution.
I have to write it well.

So you're afraid of making mistakes.

I can't afford to make mistakes.

I need my school's approval
to get a teaching job when I graduate,

so I can finally help my mother.

Then you'd better write about that tree.

At least its berries are red.

You need a brighter light bulb
to protect your eyesight.

Third Uncle.

Huanhuan.

Still writing about that hawthorn tree?

Where have you been these days?
I thought you'd been relocated.

I was with my unit repairing an engine.

Why didn't you tell Auntie?

Huanhuan asked about you every day.

Sorry. I left in a hurry.

Your pen is leaking.

Want to swap it for a new one?

It's not a gift.

I'm just saving ink for the revolution.

Do you like it?

Mr. Luo wants me back at school
for dance rehearsals.

I have to show great enthusiasm
so I can get my school's approval.

I'm going back to the city for a few days.

You're leaving in the morning?

Our political party is greater
Than heaven and earth.

Chairman Mao loves the people
More than parents love their children

Nothing in the world compares
With the goodness of communism

An ocean's depth can't compare with
The depth of friendship within our class

Chairman Mao's principles
Are the treasure of the revolution

Whoever is against Chairman Mao
Will be our enemy

Our political party is greater
Than heaven and earth

Chairman Mao loves the people
More than parents love their children

Nothing in the world compares
With the goodness of communism

An ocean's depth can't compare with
The depth of friendship within our class

Chairman Mao's principles
Are the treasure of the revolution

Whoever is against Chairman Mao
Will be our enemy

I found another prescription for your mom.

Walnuts and crystal sugar aren't enough
for her treatment.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Is your dad still in political prison?

Yes, but we've had no letters for months.

There's more than one capitalist
at our school.

Why do they scold your mom every day?

They only bully honest people.

- Mom.
- Mom.

Mom, too many painkillers
will hurt your stomach.

I heard there's a new policy

about your teaching job at school.

I don't know what will happen.

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

You must perform well.

One wrong step...

can ruin your whole life.

Your father is an example of that.

You waited this long?

I worried you wouldn't come back safely.

Chairman Mao teaches us to
"keep warm in spring, cool in the fall."

Is that from Mao's Red Book?

It's probably from Comrade Lenin.

This family should have food.

Probably some meat too.

Comrade.

I'm in the Geological Exploration Unit.

I have a work permit,
grain coupons and money.

I'm not with the geology unit.

I can't lie to farmers.

I'll just say you're a family member.

Let me help.

A piece of meat. Open up.

Who taught you to cook?

My mother.

I've heard your family is quite powerful
in the Party.

My mother was a capitalist.
She jumped off a building four years ago.

My mother cared a lot about her looks.

Before the suicide, she washed her face,
combed her hair

and changed into clean clothes.

In the end,
her face was ruined in the fall.

Maybe that was her destiny.

Why are you in a bad mood?

You're leaving soon,
so I've brought you crystal sugar.

I'll pay you back for the sugar
and the new pen.

You need money to help your mother.

I have a good salary.

Spending this money is no big deal.

It's a big deal to me.

My dad isn't in a senior cadre
in the city.

If you insist, pay me back

after you get your job.

With my background, who'd give me a job?

I'll have someone take the money to you.

I'm leaving,
so let's not see each other anymore.

Jing, you managed a great achievement

for the revolution
by going to the countryside.

Director Li,
I'd like to find a temporary job.

My mother is sick
and we're facing difficulty.

You're so tiny.

It's hard to find work that suits you.

I'm afraid you can't handle it.

Our great leader Chairman Mao teaches us

to fear neither hardship nor death.

Well said.

Sister Jing.

I said I'd visit you in the summer.

Two ice pops.

No. It's on me.

100 yuan.

What's this money for?

So you don't have to be a field laborer.

Who gave you this money?

Xiping Village.

Who from Xiping Village?

My family.

I can't take money from your family.

It's really from Sun.

Take it.

No, his fiancée won't be happy.

What fiancée?

Who told you that?

I overheard your mother saying it.

She said she saw her photograph.

No, that's his sister's picture.

He uses it to fool others.

It's a misunderstanding.

Sun knows you're upset.

So he wouldn't let me tell you

that the money is from him.

I have an income.

Take it. He cares so much for you.

He doesn't want you to get hurt at work.

Just go back
and tell him you couldn't find me.

I'm here!

Why are you always late?

You're exhausted even before training.

Have you bought a uniform yet?

You're the only one without one.

Okay, take your position.

Good, let's get started.

Nice serve!

Lin!

What're you doing here?

How long have you been waiting?

Walnuts.

We make envelopes, one cent for every ten.

Your family is worse off
than the peasants.

Who bought the crystal sugar?

Eldest Brother got doctor-prescribed
supplement coupons.

I got this at a countryside cooperative.

- Let me cook for you.
- No need. I've already eaten.

Lin!

There's money in the bag!

Don't let Auntie wash it!

I saw you playing volleyball at school.

Go buy a uniform.

Don't ruin the image of the team.

I know you're number 5.

Great serve!

Great serve!

I've been watching you play.

- Jing, where's the ball?
- Hurry, Jing!

Don't let my teacher see you here.

Don't worry, I'm leaving now.

Jing.

You look so pretty in the uniform.

Older sister!

Older sister!

A man asked me to give you this.

He also gave me hawthorn berries.

Then a tractor took him away.

Was he wearing a blue padded jacket?

He's tall and wears large shoes.

Don't tell Mother.

- Why?
- Don't ask. Do you want to eat duck?

Why don't you turn on the light?

Where are the hawthorn berries from?

Fang from Xiping Village
brought them to me.

I first met you on this day last year.

I thought, why does this girl look so sad?

I'm always like this.

Because of your family's
political hardship?

My father is a rightist.

He's still in political prison.

My mother is sick.

If I'm sent back to the countryside,
things will be even worse for my family.

Maybe political policies will change

and we won't have to
go to the countryside.

That's impossible.

No, it's true.

Even my father will resume work.

He asked me to return to the capital.

My family wants to introduce
a girl to me for marriage.

Are you going to leave me?

Of course not. I'll never betray you.

You might not have fallen in love before

and don't believe in eternal love.

When you do fall in love,

you'll know there's someone
who'd rather die than betray you.

Are you cold?

Let's go back.

Let's share the jacket.

It's not big enough for two.

Are you still cold?

No.

I still have a year of probation.

I'll wait for you
for one year and one month.

My mother won't let me
fall in love before I'm 25.

Then I'll wait until you're 25.

What if I still can't be
with you when I'm 25?

Then I'll wait for you my whole life.

Sister, where have you been?

Mother fell down
when she went looking for you.

Didn't you say
you were visiting a classmate?

I went to your classmate's home.

Someone from Xiping Village
came to visit me.

A boy or a girl?

A girl. We talked a while by the river.

You promised me you'd behave well.

The decision about your job as a teacher
will be made soon.

Many people are jealous.

If there are problems
at this critical moment,

your career will be ruined,
and your whole life too.

It'll be on your record forever!

I heard that
your father is coming home soon.

- Daddy is coming home.
- Daddy is coming home.

Don't tell anyone else.

We could lose everything.

Do you understand?

From now on,
you'll have a curfew at night.

You're in love, aren't you?

Don't ask.
Just teach me to weave a goldfish.

Goldfish?

Where's the fisherman?

Sending educated young people
to receive re-education from peasants

is absolutely necessary.

Our great leader Chairman Mao teaches us,

"The countryside is filled
with opportunities.

Only in the fields can young people
discover their full potential."

I'll certainly be called.

I'll be a farmer for life.

Maybe political policies will change

and we won't have to
go to the countryside.

Wow, you're talking differently now.

You must be in love!

Nonsense!

Behave well.

Humbly accept re-education
from the farmers.

Do you understand?

- Mom, I know.
- It's not like home there.

So don't do crazy things.

Okay?

Mother, I know!

Stop crying. Nobody else is.

Mom, I have to go.

Hey, look over there!

That's the guy from Class 2!

We've been sent to the same place.

Where?

At the side of the truck.

You should be grateful that
the Party let you work here.

Parents' mistakes belong to the parents,

but children can be re-educated.

Political performance is crucial.

Your probation period will be challenging.

I hope you won't let the Party down.

I'll try hard to repay the Party's care.

For the summer break,

I volunteered to help
repair the basketball court.

Good.

Why does the school let you do this?

It's too much.

I volunteered for this job.

We'll let someone else do it.

No, I can do one more round.

Don't let others see we're together.

I'm still on probation.
I can't make a false move.

I know.

That's why I came now,
when there's nobody around.

It's lunchtime. Let's sneak away.

Really?

The repairs can't be that urgent.

Let me take you to the river.
Nobody's there.

I can't swim.

Chairman Mao teaches us that
we should struggle against hardship.

Sun teaches Jing
that she should learn how to relax.

That's nonsense.

It's too ugly. I can't wear this.

It's not ugly.

Everyone wears them.

Why else would shops sell swimsuits?

I don't want to wear it.

Your changing room is ready.

Come here!

That's how you wear it?

Come here! Get in the water!

Why didn't you wake me?

I wanted to let you rest.

I don't want to waste our time together.

But lately I always get sleepy suddenly.

It's because you always work overtime.

You made this?

It's the third one.
The first two weren't good enough.

I'll get it.

Nobody saw me.

I came after your mother left.

You came so early.
You must have arrived last night.

Come here and have breakfast.

He's a friend. Don't tell Mother.

Big brother, last time
you gave me hawthorn berries.

Little brother, you kept the secret well.

Your burns are horrible.

How did you know about my feet?

I watched you for a long time yesterday.

You're not made of steel.

You can't put bare legs
into lime and cement.

If I wear a nice pair of rubber boots,

what would the others think of me?

If you don't wear them,

I'll walk in the lime and cement
and let my feet get ruined too.

I'll wear them. I promise.

Why do you have your bicycle?

I'm taking you to the hospital. Now.

Your feet are infected already.

I won't go.

I hate going to hospitals.

I'm afraid of blood tests, doctors
and needles.

They won't give you any injections.

No. What if someone sees us there?

We'll go to the military hospital.
Very few people go there.

I won't go to any hospital.

Let's go. Please.

No.

- Are you going or not?
- No!

- You're crazy!
- Can we go to the hospital now?

Can you not act like that again?
It scares me.

Okay. I humbly accept your request.

How's your arm?

It's fine. I just bled a lot.

The nurse said my blood didn't clot well.

Should we get that checked?

No. Bleeding a lot means I'm strong.

Sit in the front.

Nobody can recognize you like this.

You've known me over a year,
but never called me by my name.

I...

What did you say?

I don't know what to call you.

Call me something that no one else does.

So, what will you call me?

Maybe later.

Wipe your face, cool down a bit.

What's wrong with your arm?

Nothing.

So...

the walnuts, sugar, hawthorn berries,
the jersey and boots

all came from this Comrade Sun?

Auntie, you can just call me Sun.

Don't call me Auntie.

Call me Teacher Zhang.

Yes, Teacher Zhang.

You two go outside.

Teacher Zhang, you're educated.

Why not let Jing sit down to talk?

I'll stand with her, then.

Sit.

Teacher Zhang,
please start, I'm listening.

I'm not opposed to free love.

I just won't allow Jing
to fall in love prematurely.

My husband is a rightist.

I'm under political watch at school.

There's no future for our family.

Teacher Zhang, I think we have
different interpretations of the future.

Of course we're different.

Jing is still on probation.

The school can dismiss her anytime.

I've already heard rumors.

It's all my fault.

If you truly love her,

you won't mind not seeing her
for a year or two.

You come from a good background,

and might not understand our difficulty.

No, I understand.

So we're on the same page.

Yes, of course.

I promise I won't see her
until after the probation.

Even then, if she makes any mistake,

the school can still expel her anytime.

Yes. We can't let Jing make mistakes.

Good. I hope you'll keep your promise.

Don't destroy Jing's future.

You can trust me.

I'll wait, no matter how long it takes.

You two are so young

and still have plenty of time.

Yes, we have plenty of time.

Okay. We understand each other, then.

Yes, we do.

Teacher Zhang,
I have a small request before I leave.

I want to help Jing rewrap her bandage.

Our home is small,
so it's hard to give you privacy.

No, no need.

You two stay outside.
I need to talk to your sister.

How are your feet?

Better.

I'm going to ask you something,
and you need to be honest.

Has he... hugged you?

Has he kissed you?

Did he behave himself with you?
Did he grab...

I didn't hear from you for a month.

Mom, don't say such dirty things.

Answer me. Did he or didn't he?

Why do you ask?

Don't ask why. Just tell me.

Did he or didn't he?

He didn't.

Come here.

Mom, why were you touching my nose?

Something I learned from your grandma,

to check if you're still the same.

I told you, we didn't do anything.

That's good, then.

He said he'd wait for me his whole life.

Words so easily said don't mean anything.

Saying a whole life in words
might only last a short while in action.

Thank you.

Someone's here for you.

What are you doing here?

I didn't hear from you for a month.
I was so worried.

Then Fang told me you were here.

What's going on?

Just a physical for my geology unit.
Going to the hospital is normal.

If it's a routine physical,
why didn't you tell me?

I was afraid you'd be worried.

PATHOLOGY

Don't lie to me. What do you have?

What did Fang tell you?

She told me you have leukemia.

Nonsense!

I just have the flu
and a weak immune system.

I'm exhausted from working overtime.

Fang doesn't know anything.

If I really had leukemia,
this hospital can't treat it.

If you don't believe me, ask the doctor.

Now.

Let's go and ask.

No need. I believe you.

Did you take the day off?

I asked for three days off
to keep you company.

What?

I made a promise to your mother.

What if she finds out?

I lied that my school sent me to a farm.
She believed it.

What did you tell your principal?

I didn't tell Mr. Luo.

I'll write an apology letter later.

I didn't have time to care.

You're so naive.
You're ruining your future.

I told you,

it's just a routine physical.
I don't have leukemia.

You have to go now.

No!

I want to stay with you.

It's a hospital. You can't stay here.

Where will you spend the night?

There are benches in the hallway.

You're such a troublemaker!

Let me be a troublemaker!

I was always afraid of making mistakes.

This time, I'm not afraid of anything.

The hospital does not allow
overnight visitors.

Please respect the hospital's regulations
for the revolution!

Leave now.

Hey, I'm talking to you. Leave now.

Come back tomorrow.

The hospital does not allow
overnight visitors.

Please respect the hospital's regulations
for the revolution!

The hospital does not allow
overnight visitors.

Hey, you, get moving!

Anyone in there?

How dare you two!

Your visitor must go.

Guests can't stay at night. It's a rule.

Which bed are you in?

- Bed seven.
- Go back to bed.

Comrade, you must leave.

Chairman Mao teaches us that

a good comrade rectifies her mistakes.
Just let her stay a bit longer.

No! I have to see her out!

- Leave.
- Just let me stay a little bit.

I told you, it's the hospital's rule.
Leave now.

And come back tomorrow. Go back to sleep.

Comrade, I came a long way.
Just let me stay a little longer.

It's not my problem. Leave now!

You, go to bed!

We'll be quiet.

You have to go. Leave now.
I'm walking you out.

Comrade, I'm begging you.
Let me stay a bit longer.

I promise I'll be quiet. Please.

We have to strictly follow the rules
of the hospital for the revolution.

What's the difference
if you return tomorrow?

Come back tomorrow.

Why are you taking me shopping?

I'm buying things you need for tonight.

I borrowed Nurse Gao's dorm room.

You must sleep on a bed tonight.

How about a new jacket for you?

You said the hawthorn has red flowers.

This should be the same color.

It's too vibrant.

Not at all. It suits you.

Don't just wear blue like everyone else.

Okay, if you like it.
Wei can make one for me.

She has a sewing machine.

Do you want to see that hawthorn with me?

There are no flowers now.

And it's far away. Maybe next time.

We might not have the chance.

That's not true.
We'll have plenty of chances.

Male comrade, closer to female comrade.

A little more.

Female comrade, closer to male comrade.

Male comrade, lift your chin.

Female comrade, lift your chin too.

Don't be embarrassed.

That's the friendship
of the proletariat revolution.

A friend afar makes distant lands near.

Great, just like that!

It's the mark for you.

No matter where I am
when I hear your name,

I'll come back to you with this scar.

What style will be good for my jacket?

You'll look good in any style.

When I get it made, I'll wear it for you.

Great.

Once that hawthorn tree has flowers,

I'll wear this jacket and go with you.

If the flowers are red,
we'll see if the color matches my jacket.

Of course. We'll go together.

I told the doctor that I won't go back
to the hospital tonight.

May I stay?

Don't worry. I guess I should go back.

No, stay.

How can we sleep in such a small bed?

We can switch this time.

You sleep on the bed,
I'll sit on the chair.

No.

You sleep on the bed,
I'll sit on the chair.

How about neither of us
sit on the chair tonight?

I'll get some hot water to wash your feet.

- Where did you get that?
- At the hospital's gift shop.

Where's the shop?

To the left of this building.

What took you so long?

Let's wash your feet.

Let me show you a magic trick.

Close your eyes.

Open your eyes.

How'd you do that?

I can't step on the hawthorn.

I'll make it dirty.

Right, we shouldn't make it dirty.

Where did you get it?

At the hospital's gift shop.

It was closing so I begged the clerk.

Those are hawthorn berries.

So beautiful.

I knew you'd like it.

Let's wash your feet.

Do they still hurt?

No, they healed.

I'm so happy to know you.

Go to sleep. I'll be here with you.

I don't want you over there.

I want you in bed with me.

I could just look at you like this
for the rest of my life.

I'd already decided before I got here.

You can do whatever you want tonight.

Come lie beside me.

Books say that when a man and a woman
lie together, the woman will get pregnant.

Are you afraid I'll get pregnant?

You'll get pregnant in the future.

You'll have kids.

You'll be a mother, then a grandmother.

You'll have many grandchildren.

What about you?

If you live, I won't die.

But if you die,

I'll really be dead.

Do you understand?

Wei?

Have you returned to visit your family?

Is anyone else home?

No one else.

What's wrong?

What happened?

I'm pregnant.

If he'd admit to it, I'd keep the baby.

I was planning on marrying him.

But he ran off
and said the baby wasn't his.

Who is he?

Who else? The guy in Class 2.

What are you going to do?

Get rid of it.

- What do you mean?
- An abortion.

Don't you know what that is?

I can't do it in the city hospital.

Someone might tell my mother.

I'll go to the county hospital.

Nobody knows me there.

I'll have to get a legal permit first.

You have to go with me.

I'll perm my hair to look older.

Men.

You can't let them succeed.

Don't ever be as foolish as I was.

What do you mean by "succeed"?

You really don't know?

Succeed, as in sleeping in the same bed.

Sleeping in the same bed?

The boy you made the goldfish for,
you let him succeed too?

I heard he was sick.

No. It's a ploy!

He just wanted your sympathy.

The boy from Class 2
said he had cancer. What a liar!

If a man is nice to you,

it's only because he wants to succeed.

Once he succeeds, he'll dump you.

Don't doubt my words.

Learn from my mistake.

Go find him.

I'm sure he's run off already.

Comrade, where's Sun?

He was released
from the hospital yesterday.

You're the one that came a few days ago.

I'm Nurse Gao.

Sun left something for you.

Did he leave a message?

No.

What's wrong with him?

His unit sent him here for a physical.

Not for leukemia?

Leukemia?

Can't be. We can't treat leukemia here.

Hey, comrade. Take it.

You can keep it.

He already gave me a basin.

He said you must keep this one.

Thanks.

What's wrong with you?

It's not me.

Then who?

Where's her relative?

Mom.

Was the operation a success?

Your hair looks like a rat's nest!

You think others won't recognize you?

Sit down.

You know that

our family background isn't good.

If people find out about this,

you'll have to stay
in the countryside for life.

So what? Who cares?

Maybe policies will change one day.

What?

What did you say?

I don't care
if I stay in the countryside for life.

I've raised you for nothing!

Fine, go to the countryside!

I won't care for you anymore!

So painful.

I don't want to be pregnant again.

Will I get pregnant too?

Of course. Right away.

What do you mean by that?

Didn't you let him succeed?

Did you let him succeed or not?

Tell me what happened that night.
In detail.

That's it?

Just holding hands?

Did you get naked?

No.

Are you lying to me?

He didn't succeed. That's nothing!

You're so ignorant.

You know what?

That boy sounds like

a really good man.

He truly loves you.

Last time we had the talk,

you promised me that

you wouldn't see each other

during your probation.

Why are you behaving like this?

Aren't you afraid you'll be dismissed?

I have to find him.

It's not something

you have to do at your age!

Tell me.

What happened?

Why must you find him?

He probably has leukemia.

Leukemia?

Was it diagnosed already?

I'm not sure. I heard it from Fang.

When I was younger,

I was just as committed as you are.

That's why I married your father.

Jing!

Auntie Jing!

What brings you here?

You're skinnier than last year. Come in.

Have you eaten?

Come, I'll get chopsticks.

Sit down.

Sister Jing, are you looking for Sun?

Poor Sun.

Why did he get such a terrible illness?

We haven't seen him for months.

Ask the Geological Exploration Unit.

Maybe he's fine.

Haven't seen him for a long time.
I heard he's sick.

Sick with leukemia?

A worker in our unit
died of leukemia last year.

But I don't think Sun has it.

He's always been so healthy.

One time he took metal samples

from our unit for lab tests.

He wanted to find
the cause of the worker's death.

I'm not sure if his illness
has anything to do with that.

Hurry! He's still waiting!

Are you Jing?

I'm Sun's father.

I know my son is waiting for you.

Go and say goodbye to him.

Call his name quickly,
before it's too late.

Call his name, just like you did before.

He can still hear you.

It's Jing.

It's Jing.

It's Jing.

It's Jing.

You promised that
whenever you hear my name,

you'd come back.

It's Jing.

It's Jing.

Look. You said I'd look good in red.

I'm wearing it now.

I'm here to see you and I've put it on.

I'm here to see you and I'm wearing it.

"Lovely Hawthorn,"

"White flowers blossoming on your branches."

"Dear Hawthorn,"

"why are you so sad?"
