[Be Your Own Light]

[Episode 34]

We did...

It's okay if we didn't do very well.

It's the first week,

so it's to be expected.

But how could this be?

We tried so hard.

There are better people out there

working harder than you do.

This just means

that there is room for improvement.

Cheer up.

We're actually killing it!

Look.

We've passed the novice stage!

We're going through the proper channels now!

We're making revenue in advance!

We're the original video channel

that went through the novice stage the fastest

since the existence of the platform.

Then why were you acting like that?

To surprise you.

Mr. Jiang,

Wait, a barbecue for such a little achievement?

Barbecue my foot.

Well, a WeChat red pocket will also do.

A red pocket?

Forget about the red pocket. Here.

Have some fruit. Come on.

This is yours.

I'm so generous, aren't I?

[LINDU 10th Anniversary Promotional Sale]

[LINDU]

I'm just a girl.

I... I can't get in there.

Go take a look.

It's serious. Just get in there.

What's going on?

Mr. Liu...

Who's he fighting with?

Mr. Liu is fighting with himself.

The chairwoman of the board came today.

After hearing Mr. Liu's report,

she criticized him a little.

He means his mother.

She's not actually criticizing him.

It's just that our growth speed

wasn't as fast as anticipated.

The chairwoman was a little disappointed.

Wait.

You guys gotta get in there and talk to him.

You can't just let him smash things like that.

Yuanyuan,

how about

you go talk to him?

Yeah, you do that.

Your talk works better since you're an outsider.

Your talk works better

because you're not an outsider,

Mr. Liu,

you're not hurting yourself, are you?

Get out!

Why are you throwing such a big tantrum?

I said out!

Why are you yelling at me?

I'm not going out.

Then I'll go if you aren't.

You gotta solve the problem if you run into one.

Does this help at all?

Mr. Liu,

Liu Lindu!

I'm also a patient.

I'm gonna keep this going today.

Neither of us leaves today

if I can't make you feel better.

Just give me five minutes.

I promise to make you laugh.

See?

Business is so good today.

Look.

It's a full house.

What does it mean?

Money!

Don't you think the air smells sweeter

because you're making money?

Smell it.

This view of your back.

Mr. Liu, hold still.

Don't move.

And this face!

Oh my god.

It's perfect, like a sculpture.

If you hurt yourself,

don't you think the cost is too high?

If you still don't laugh,

I'm gonna tickle you!

-Here I come. -Stop.

Are you crazy?

Is it so hard just to make you laugh?

Liu Lindu!

Zhao Yuanyuan.

Did you just hit me?

So what if I did?

You deserve it.

I'm so tired.

Did you actually hit me?

Go ahead and fight back.

[KING KOIL Mattress]

You... you really fought back?

I was kind enough to talk to you.

-Stop. -To talk to you.

It's fine if you don't listen.

But why are you so stubborn?

Why did you hit me so hard?

I don't need you to do that.

So what if you were scolded?

Who hasn't got scolded before?

Not to mention it's your mother!

Don't speak of her.

I'm gonna speak of her!

I'm gonna speak of her!

What?

You hurt yourself just because she scolded you?

How old are you now?

Is that really necessary?

Childish.

You think I like being like that?

Do you know how hard I work?

Do you know how much pressure I'm under?

Do you know why I must do everything perfectly?

Do you know how many people

are judging behind my back?

You don't know anything!

Dear,

you thought too much.

Nobody in this world really cares about you.

Who's gonna judge you?

Yeah.

That's why you don't know anything.

Yeah, I don't know anything at all.

But I know you're pretentious and vulnerable.

I'm not!

Yes, you are.

There's no such thing as perfection.

Why are you after it?

If you're not a self-torturer.

Then what are you?

Who said I'm not perfect?

I'm the definition of perfect!

You haven't seen this, have you?

I haven't.

But today, I do.

The definition of perfect, huh?

Perfect.

Dare you to answer if I call you perfect?

Perfect.

-Perfect! -Enough.

-Perfect! -Enough!

Perfect!

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

That was too harsh.

Are you really mad at me?

I'm actually a loser.

I'm not that perfect.

I'm just a second-rate designer

and a second-rate businessman.

I'm nothing.

But,

two second-rate

makes you first-rate.

Two plus two equals four.

I know I'm not good at comforting people.

But I really think that

you don't have to put yourself under too much pressure.

I mean it.

Maybe in your heart,

you're not as successful as your mom,

or not as successful as your family.

But in this world,

what is being successful?

Is there a standard answer?

You're the best designer among businessmen

and the best businessman among designers.

Others may think you rely on your family,

but I don't think so.

Really.

Be it design,

or doing business,

in my heart,

you're doing super good.

This is already super good?

If super is a bit over the top,

then regular good.

Regular?

"Perfect articles don't exist,

just like perfect despair

doesn't exist, either."

By Haruki Murakami, your idol.

So in this world,

there's no such thing as perfection.

If you keep pursuing it,

aren't you torturing yourself?

Are you feeling better?

Much better. Thank you.

Don't force yourself.

If you're not better yet,

I can fight with you anytime.

No need for that.

I'm fine. Thanks.

Are you sure?

I'm good.

That's good, then.

I'm sorry

for the trouble.

You can check these.

If there's something affecting your sales,

I'll compensate for that.

It's fine.

Just leave it.

Count it as my medical fee.

Thank you,

doctor Zhao.

You've let me put aside something.

Something deep in my heart.

Now is the moment in my life

when I feel the most relaxed.

Thank you.

No problem.

[Jiangdu 120 Emergency]

[Jiangdu People's Hospital]

[Datong Residential District]

[Jiangdu People's Hospital]

Dr. Tong, how is it?

She

may leave the world anytime.

Go talk to her

while she's still conscious now.

Huiquan.

Mom.

It's me.

I'm here.

Zimo and Huan are also here.

We're all here.

I don't have

too much time, do I?

It's still early. Don't say that.

Don't fool me.

I'm not fooling you.

I know.

Honey,

next life,

let's be husband and wife again.

We shall.

We shall.

Zimo.

I'm here.

Study hard.

Be happy every day.

Listen to your mom.

And be a good son.

Grandma,

don't worry.

I've kept them in mind.

Huan.

Mom.

Don't work too hard.

This life of mine...

It's good to have you

as my daughter.

Mom.

I'm also happy to have you

as my mother.

Let's be mother and daughter in our next lives.

It's our promise.

In our next lives,

let's be mother and daughter again.

But I wanna be the mother.

You'll be the daughter.

I'm gonna braid all styles of hair for you.

I'm gonna take care of you

and love you.

Promise.

Promise.

Where's Kaige?

Kaige will be here soon.

He's on the way.

I'll wait for him.

I'll wait for him.

Go give him a call now.

Ask him where he is.

Okay.

I'll go call him now.

Huiquan,

everything's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Do you still remember

the first time we met?

Let me think...

[Nurses Station]

Will the old lady ask me too many questions?

I don't think so.

How's she doing?

Ren Jie,

thank you for this.

You're welcome. It's my duty.

Are you sure she won't be able to recognize him?

She didn't recognize him months ago.

That's good then.

This way.

Mom.

Mom,

look who's here.

Who are you?

I... I'm Kaige.

Yes.

You're not.

He... He is.

He just changed his hairstyle.

Yeah.

Mom, take a closer look.

Can you recognize him?

Mrs. Zheng,

can you recognize me?

You are Bai Yang,

my favorite presenter.

You've got a good memory.

You are Ren Jie.

Ren Jie.

Many years ago,

you two came to visit our home.

I thought

you were Bai Yang's boyfriend.

Are you guys dating now?

Mrs. Zheng,

we're dating now.

Yes.

He's my boyfriend now.

Great.

I heard from Huan that

you're not married

or dating.

I was so worried.

Now,

I'm relieved.

Thank you, Mrs. Zheng,

for still worrying about me.

You're Huan's good friend.

Yes.

Where's Kaige?

Quick.

Call him.

Okay.

Mom.

Mom,

I'm here.

Kaige,

you're finally here.

I was on a business trip.

I headed here right after getting off the plane.

But I'm still late.

You came right in time.

You all go out.

I have something

to speak to Kaige alone.

Mom.

Is she confused or not?

I don't know, either.

Big Brother came right in time anyway.

You called him?

Young man,

what's your name?

I'm Ou Kaige.

I mean your real name.

My real name is Ou Kaige.

You're still fooling me

even now.

Jiang.

Mrs. Zheng,

I'm Jiang Junhao.

Jiang,

do you really

like my Huan?

I like her very much.

Mrs. Jiang,

when did you know

that I'm not Ou Kaige?

I was in a state of confusion

for a short period of time.

But I soon regained consciousness.

I understand.

And I know that

you were trying to make me happy.

You were all acting

in front of me.

So you already saw it through.

Your acting...

Mrs. Zheng,

but what I feel about He Huan

is true.

I know.

If you really love Huan.

Listen to

what I'm about to say.

It's important.

I'm listening.

I hope that

you will always love our Huan,

support her,

and tolerate her.

Rest assured, I will.

And also

Zimo.

You can rest assured for Zimo too.

Zimo is my brother.

I'll definitely take good care of him.

Thank you, Jiang.

I'll leave Huan

to you.

Okay.

Rest assured.

I will.

By the way,

promise me

don't tell them

that I already knew about this.

-Okay. -I'm gonna

keep acting with them.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you...

Dad, come in and check on mom now.

What did my mom say to you?

She told me to look after you.

Grandma.

Honey.

I'm here.

Huan.

Mom.

Zimo.

I'm here.

Kaige.

Mom, I'm here.

I wanna

listen to

your laughter.

Are you hearing it?

We are laughing.

Mom,

how about I tell you a joke?

Okay.

When I was little,

my grandpa always liked to

buy groceries by bike with me.

I would sit on the back seat.

But one time,

by accident,

my foot was stuck in the wheel.

From then on,

I paid special attention.

I said to myself,

next time I won't put my feet near the wheel.

I must stick them out.

You know what? The next time we went out,

my foot

was stuck in someone else's bike wheels.

I got another one.

Why do crabs never give to charity?

Because they're shellfish.

Who taught you this?

I'll tell you one.

It goes like this.

One day,

Sun Wukong lost his golden cudgel.

So he went to ask the God of the Land.

He said, have you seen my golden cudgel?

The god of land replied,

check your makeup bag.

I saw you using your golden hair gel today.

There's an elk in the forest.

As it walks,

it gets lost.

So,

it calls his good friend, a giraffe.

Hello.

This is your friend elk. I'm lost.

Giraffe said,

I doubt that.

Elk never gets lost in his a-moose-ment park.

Elk said,

Now I'm really lachry-moose.

Mom.

Huiquan,

leave in peace.

We're all here with you.

Don't be afraid.

I love you.

We all love you.

Mom,

this isn't farewell.

This is just a short parting.

You've just

gone to another world

a few steps ahead of us.

We shall reunite again.

Just like we first met

back when you were 26.

Mom.

Grandma.

We will always remember you.

Mom,

I'll definitely do

what I've promised you.

Huiquan...

[In Loving Memory of Xie Huiquan]

Dad,

we're here.

[In Memory of Xie Huiquan, Rest in Peace]

Okay.

Take the pastries and whatnot

out there

and hand them out to the guests.

Okay.

Come.

Dad,

let me tell you about

our itinerary tomorrow.

No need. As long as you have it planned.

Okay.

What about the cemetery?

Bai Yang and Yuanyuan are on it.

Then I have no problem.

She hasn't rested yet?

Not for all this while.

She's not eating or drinking anything.

Go talk to her.

You have a rest, Dad.

Would you like to go back to have a little rest or food?

But you can't keep sitting here like this.

Huiquan.

Old He.

Aili.

My condolences.

Huiquan.

My good sister.

You and I have been competing with each other for a lifetime.

Today, I'm gonna draw a conclusion for us.

You are younger than me.

But I'm prettier than you.

In terms of acting skills,

you're much better than me.

However,

I'm a little luckier than you.

But you

had such a happy family.

Just for that, it's a total win for you.

I'm so impressed by you.

Huiquan,

just leave in peace, okay?

Don't think of anything else.

You gotta remember,

we are good sisters forever.

My good daughter,

Look how thin you've become.

You must take care of yourself.

You still have your dad to look after.

Thank you, Aunt Chen.

You are...

Hi,

I'm Ms. Xie's junior.

Okay.

Take good care of them.

Old He, you must be strong.

There you are.

Why are you sitting here alone?

Big Brother,

are we all going to die?

Yes.

Everybody dies someday.

For example, the trees over there

and the grass on the ground.

Everything in this world will eventually die.

Big Brother,

I'm so scared.

Will houses die too?

Yes.

Even the rocks?

Yes.

Even superman?

He will.

We all will die.

Death is a part of life.

Just like a flower,

which will bloom and wither.

The sun will rise and set.

People will be born and die.

This is the law of nature.

Does it sound less scary if I put it this way?

I'm still scared.

You're not scared of death,

but being apart.

Yes.

I'm scared that I won't be able to see grandma ever again.

Yes, you will.

You just can't see her with your eyes.

But as long as you think of her,

she'll appear in your mind.

This way, she has never left you.

In the future,

you and I will both die.

But whenever our loved ones

miss us in their hearts,

we will appear in their minds

and in their dreams.

Are you less scared now?

Big Brother,

in this case, is my dad dead now?

What makes you say that?

Because he hasn't called me

for a very long time.

He hasn't come to see me, either.

And I haven't dreamed of him

for a very long time.

I give you my word.

Your dad is absolutely alive.

The reason why he didn't contact you or your mom

is because of something special.

What exactly?

As to what exactly it is,

I believe that when he comes back in the future,

he'll tell you in person.

When is this future?

Future means future.

Understand?

But now you have your mom to keep you company.

And you still have me.

Right? We both love you.

We're here with you.

You'll be happy.

Then shall we go get

some junk food?

Totally!

Can I get some cola?

Sure.

So, find anything?

I've checked all the wreaths.

I didn't see Ou Kaige's name.

This guy is truly heartless.

He didn't even come for his mother-in-law's funeral.

Hello?

Mr. Liang,

have you prepared the 100 million?

Kaige,

I'm so glad to get a call from you.

Mr. Ye and I

have agreed on it.

You know what? Life is a miracle.

It's heaven's will for us to work together.

Let's have a merry meet and a merry part.

As for the 15 million you mentioned,

no problem,

we'll give it to you.
