*UNEDITED* My father always said

as long as

you will work hard,

you can do anything in the world.

[Jiuquan Throwing Base] [October 17, 2019]

Until today.

As the first Taikonaut* in China, (*Person who navigates space for the Chinese space program, term coined for Chinese astronauts)

I'm still unsure if

I lived up to my father's expectations.

Commander, hello.

Going into space for the fourth time,

he will become the most experienced Taikonaut in the country.

Once arrived,

what will be the first thing

what will he say to the world?

Don't lick your gums.

Here you are...

...this is for my little girl, Qiaqia.

Qiaqia,

you don't always ask me

where does dad go for work?

Up in the sky.

When I'm there

I can see you every moment

so remember

Don't lick your gums.

In two months,

Daddy will bring down a star for you.

Hello, Fei Ma.

This is his first space mission.

My question is

"Does he have anything to say to his family?"

His family's place is empty.

Am I here today?

When they can have the XYZ of every problem

then our children

they will be able to master their future.

One month ago

at an altitude of 7,117 meters

in the Nyenchenthanglha Mountains

the 14 year old Tibetan Dawa Yangzong

carried the sacred flame high

which starts the eleventh grade

Beijing Asian Games.

September, 1990.

I am here!

Welcome... Welcome, a warm welcome.

My family history

started 30 years ago

at the national celebration event.

Gentleman...

...why is she still here?

We'll be late!

Soon!

Handmade gift for my son's birthday.

A globe created from a soccer ball.

What do you think?

Gentleman!

The torch relay!

Force.

Why all the rush?

Look.

The torchbearer

he's my father.

For him

his son comes before everything.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Look what you got me into!

Behind me

there is the Dong Pe Bridge which has just been built.

The sacred fire will arrive in ten minutes.

By my side

there is kindergarten welcome training.

Welcome... welcome, a warm welcome.

Welcome... welcome, a warm welcome.

Welcome... welcome, a warm welcome.

Welcome... welcome, a warm welcome.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

This child is horrible.

I'll tell you one last time.

During the last "Warm welcome"

you have to duck.

Understood?

Yes.

Show it to me.

This baby is a mess.

Disaster.

Disaster.

Disaster.

Get up.

Go to the bottom.

This hopeless child

it was me.

In ten minutes

I will be given an amazing gift.

It's my life

will change forever.

The torchbearer?

The torchbearer?

We have 5 minutes!

Come on, fast!

Force!

Force!

Is coming!

The 286th torchbearer

he's running towards the bridge!

Gentleman!

Fast!

Only 3 minutes.

Gentleman

50 meters to the meeting point!

The torchbearer stands

to deliver the torch!

Gentleman,

it's too late.

Last 20 meters!

10 meters!

5 meters!

The 287th torchbearer Haowen Ma

he took over the torch!

He is running

towards the bridge!

Here it is!

That the Dong Pei Bridge Relay Ceremony

let it begin!

Welcome welcome, a warm welcome.

The torchbearer

he is the architect of the Dong Pei Bridge.

Engineer Haowen Ma.

After the fire will pass

on Dong Pei, the largest bridge in the city

will be officially inaugurated.

The opening of the bridge

It's a dream come true for the whole city.

Mr Haowen Ma,

the bridge he designed...

Miss, Miss.

He is my father.

If he really was your father

I'd eat a chair.

Dad dad.

Dad dad.

Does he have anything to share with the public?

A second.

Gentleman.

Gentleman?

Gentleman!

My father ran towards me

before everyone's eyes.

For the first time I was dazzled by happiness.

I realized it

just 30 years later.

A globe.

That second

it was the highlight of my father's life.

Welcome welcome, warm welcome.

Dad,

what are you doing with the flashlight?

Why are they clapping?

You are in trouble?

It's because he likes what daddy is doing.

Look.

There wasn't a bridge before

to cross the river.

And we had to walk a long way.

Dad is a magician

and he pulled off a great trick.

Now there is a bridge.

When you grow up

you will have to do what you love.

Happy birthday,

little boy.

Dad,

what a beautiful trick!

Dad,

Could you do it again for me again?

Fei Ma?

Fei Ma?

You told me

that life is like an arrow.

Which targets

our signs.

What's the point of throwing it?

if you don't have a target?

Thanks to you,

today I will finally be able to

shoot my arrow.

Sealed return capsule hatch.

Changjiang number 3 two-way position completed.

Open solar panels.

Shuguang number 16 launched successfully.

The Beijing Aerospace Command and the Control Center report

that the Shunguang spacecraft number 16 with the crew

successfully entered orbit

Commander!

Commander!

Let's take a photo.

Be quick.

Look here.

Exclusive news

After 57 long days Shuguang number 16 has

completed the mission successfully.

In 3 days

Taikonaut Xinghe Gu and Fei Ma

they will return to earth.

Commander!

We have lost connection with the spaceship!

[15 December 2019 8.43pm]

The cause has been confirmed.

It was space debris.

They broke the insulating tiles.

They also damaged

the receiving antenna.

Now

we lost

all communications with earth.

What's worse,

is that all of this

it's just the beginning of the return journey.

We should miss the point of return

it doesn't matter if we pilot the spacecraft

manually or on autopilot.

Damaged insulating tiles

they will light up immediately

once we enter the atmosphere.

The capsule

and U.S

Boom.

A huge explosion of flames.

We just met

what they call a one in a billion chance.

Company

say goodbye

to planet Earth.

♫ Time passes ♫

♫ Confused, I went back to those days ♫

After the bridge collapse

Dad was sending to a mysterious place

Every time I went to visit him

I had to travel through the mountains.

Look,

she makes me look bad.

Now that you're in trouble

I'm leaving.

My fault,

it's my fault.

It's always your fault

that is the question.

Were you not very convincing in court?

When you took the blame,

have you thought about our son?

Have you thought of me?

Even if the bridge hadn't collapsed

our relationship wouldn't have lasted.

And now.

Well.

[Divorce]

Dad.

Let's go home.

I don't want to stay here.

The globe broke.

You have to fix it for me.

Dad can't help you fix it.

He has to stay here to fix the real one.

Dad can't come home today

but I'm sure my son

can fix the globe by himself.

It is not so?

No.

Ms Wong said they are hopeless.

Ms. Wong doesn't know what you're saying.

She remembers,

Don't let words hurt you.

Did you understand?

You are

the best son on Earth.

As long as you keep thinking about it intensely

you will never be without hope.

Not only will you be able to fix the globe

but also everything you want in the world.

Are you brainwashing him?

Let's go.

Ninth!

What's wrong with you?

No!

I want to be with dad tonight.

Your father isn't coming home. Come with me.

No! I do not want!

Why are you doing so?

No.

Hug me,

you want?

You come.

Why not

we play a game.

What game?

You go with mom.

Dad will come later.

Let's see who gets home first.

I have a secret weapon

the fastest spaceship in the universe.

It's faster than light.

Really?

Think hard

very intensely

or I will win.

I'm going to get my spaceship now.

I'm going...

I'll get there first!

Dad said

that as long as I think hard

I will be able to do anything on Earth.

But apparently he lied.

Come on, it's bath time.

Dad said he'll come in a rocket.

I want to make sure that he can see us from the sky.

He can never see us.

Maybe because my flashlight is a little dim?

And he can't see?

♫ Far in the night sky ♫

♫ A crescent moon hangs ♫

♫ Under the crescent ♫

♫ There is the crescent of a bridge ♫

♫ Next to the crescent bridge ♫

♫ There is the crescent of a boat ♫

♫ On the crescent boat ♫

♫ There is Ah Jiao from my childhood.♫

♫ Ah Jiao row the boat ♫

♫ Singing an old ballad ♫

♫ The song blows in the wind ♫

Dear my son,

HI.

In September you became an elementary school student.

I know you will

made lots of new friends.

Unable!

It was his old man who brought down the bridge!

Let's get it!

Run

happily together

and you have fun.

Dad is fine too.

I am really enjoying it.

Do not rush!

Stopped!

Stop!

Inept!

What do you want?

In the world, there are many things

Give it back to me!

that we cannot control.

Give me back my globe!

But we can check

our destiny.

My father gave it to me!

No!

My father gave it to me!

Never stop thinking.

Never give up.

Take it!

Stop right there!

Do not rush!

Stopped!

If you have the courage

Nobody

can stop you.

Stopped!

Stop!

Yubin Fu.

Force!

Force!

It has been blocked!

Coached by Schlappner,

The Chinese team took third place

in the Asian Championship.

The day is approaching

where Chinese football

it will shock the world.

Son,

Today

Mom and Mr. Meng

they will take you to a new place.

Where?

In a heavenly place.

A place that will change you completely.

I promised my little girl

that I would bring her a star.

Now

her mother will have to

point to a random star in the sky

and say:

"Look,

that is your father's star."

I don't think you ever told me

why you decided to do this job.

Everything I have achieved to date

I owe it to my family.

If it wasn't for him

I wouldn't have been able to become a taikonaut

not even in a thousand years.

Lin Li.

Does the room have a new lock?

That room is now a warehouse.

Engineer But?

Haowen Ma!

Haowen Ma!

Haowen Ma is back!

How dare you come back here!

Shame on you!

With what courage?

How dare you!

How much money did you pocket?

Because of you they reduced their salaries

of the entire company!

Sorry, I'm here for my son.

Tell us about your crappy project first.

The people became agitated when they saw my father again.

Many of them were insulting

also to my late grandmother.

My father took the blame for the entire company

and he is now the most hated person in town.

I arrive.

Xinyu.

Six...

on early release or have you escaped?

I...

I ran away last night.

Now I'm a wanted fugitive.

Where is my son?

But Fei.

But Fei.

My baby?

The child is at school.

A privileged college.

He only comes home once a month.

You must be Ma.

Hello, Meng.

There's no need.

You are more tanned than in the photo.

Would you like something to drink?

Coffee?

A coke?

Some liquor?

Everything imported.

But,

what did you usually drink?

in there?

None of this, of course.

If we behaved well

the guards

they offered us

a dose of cough syrup.

Hey.

Mr. Yan.

I'm Meng from the railway administration.

I was just about to call her.

I wanted to ask you how my son Ma Fei is behaving

lately?

Did he call for this?

He is magnificent,

Mr. Yan.

Please.

Your husband is deafening.

Has he done any vocal training?

Xinyu,

we had agreed that you would bring our son to see me every three months.

Not even once.

No response to letters.

How could you send him to boarding school?

What's wrong with boarding school?

I think it's excellent.

Have more time to study

it makes him more independent.

In society, competition is fierce.

He needs to work hard to get into a good university.

Meng has taken paid leave.

We are running a business in Guangzhou.

I commute,

no matter how difficult it is.

I complain?

Did I do it for myself?

You only know how to talk.

Listen, Haowen Ma.

I have everything under control.

My son will be successful.

I have good news and bad news about Ma Fei.

Which one do you want to hear first?

Give it a rest.

The bad news?

But Fei is in big trouble.

Mr. Yan said

that the school decided to expel him

and he told him to find another institution immediately.

And the good news?

They will refund our entire school fee.

The Boyu school

ranked first among the four best high schools in Dong Pei.

The first place winner at Gaokao (university entrance exam)

in the province he is one of ours.

Every student

is associated with an exam paper.

The reason why

your parents sent you here

it's because they want to

that we help you achieve

satisfactory results.

I found this

under someone's pillow.

Whose is it?

Raise your hand.

"The proud and smiling traveler" (wuxia novel by Jin Yong)

Don't you dare raise your hand?

You again.

Come forward!

Shame on you.

But Fei.

One of the worst in a long time

of the class.

He doesn't show up, he skips lessons.

A repeat offender.

Ridiculous,

absurd!

The school has officially decided

to expel Ma Fei.

Are his parents present?

Tonight I want to stay with dad.

7 years have passed.

I never would have thought

that I would see my father again

in such an embarrassing situation.

Gentleman.

We worked so hard to get him here.

Could not

give him another chance

and avoid him being expelled?

We are also willing to lose a year.

But Fei.

Make him repeat the year,

we will accept it.

Please,

slap him if he dares to behave badly!

You slap him hard!

He slaps me for being a bad parent.

Please!

Get up,

woman,

stop that.

Gentleman.

I'll talk to him.

Gentleman.

My reputation is at stake here.

What I will do

if people will find out?

Seriously.

Do me a favor.

A favor?

Do you even have any idea what a favor is?

First place in the entire province

he was our student!

He is absolutely right.

The boy entered Peking University

the year the Gaokao was reinstated.

86,

87,

88.

For three consecutive years,

the best three in the province.

He is right.

This is my treasure.

I hung it on the wall

photos of the brightest students.

See for yourself.

And try to imagine

But Fei.

I will succeed

to hang her picture here one day?

It would be a coincidence, then.

But Fei can do it.

She absolutely can do it.

Didn't I tell you to wait outside?

What are you doing here?

I won't let you talk about him like that.

You should know how hard it is to study

and the predisposition of the students

so as to be able to illuminate them

and then be called teachers.

The name of this school comes from "The Book of Rites", right? (One of the five classics of the Confucian canon)

Confucius used to say

that everyone can be educated.

Yet she only cares about grades.

He puts in all his effort

to try to get rid of low-performing students

instead of helping them catch up.

You don't deserve to be called a teacher.

Nice speech.

What it was?

Who is she?

A parent of Ma Fei.

Haowen Ma.

Haowen Ma.

I remember.

I saw her on TV.

The architect of the Dong Pei Bridge.

And he thinks he can come here

explain to me how to teach?

The hero of our city.

Gentleman.

Please don't get angry.

I apologize.

I have class.

Please ignore it, sir.

You should leave

and look for a new school for him.

Please!

It's for your son, don't waste his time.

Please, sir.

Gentleman!

Why are you here, Haowen Ma?

Don't make things worse!

I almost knelt in front of him.

What do you want?

Why did you do that?

She had almost changed her mind.

Take your hands off me!

This guy is hopeless.

He's finished.

It's over for him.

If he likes kung-fu stories so much, let him go and practice it!

Mr. Yan.

Because I wasn't informed

of Ma Fei's expulsion?

We should give him another chance.

The 5th article of the school regulations states:

The school can act alone

to punish students.

Above all

compared to a precarious teacher.

Mr. Yan.

As his father,

I am responsible

of Fei's disappointing performance.

I want to make you a promise.

From now on,

she will live at home with me.

What result should it achieve?

so as not to be expelled from this school?

Ridiculous.

Absurd!

This is within her jurisdiction.

Are you scared now?

Is she afraid?

What a result

will have to get

to be able to stay in school?

Okay, I'll play.

Among the top ten in her class.

Top ten in the class?

It's absolutely impossible.

All right.

Among the top 10.

But not only of his class,

but of his year of him.

This guy

he must have hit his head in prison.

Not only in the top ten in his year,

I also bet that

when he leaves this school,

he will be the best student the institute has ever seen.

He will hang the picture of him on the wall.

According to Mr. Yan,

he taught approximately 123,000 students

and met nearly 40,000 parents.

At that moment he understood

that parent just got out of prison

with a dirty plastic bag

it was special.

go ahead

let go!

You don't seem to have any respect for yourself!

If you don't go to college,

you'll end up like that madman.

The top 10 of your year.

Wake up!

Look at yourself.

Do you look like a top ten guy?

What should a top 10 look like?

With a round, square face,

or horseshoe?

People always say

that he has my nose and my eyebrows

and the shape of your face.

So he is absolutely right.

Everyone deserves a little dignity.

It's okay to criticize him,

but don't shame him in public.

I am his mother. It's for his own good.

"It's for his own good"

that's the excuse

more horrible.

It's for your own good.

Why don't you reproach yourself in front of the mirror

for two hours every day?

No problem,

I promise.

Could you be quiet?

Okay, yes, I understand.

Xinyu, Xinyu, Xinyu.

We're in trouble.

Big trouble!

What's up?

Lao Wu of the typography

he lost his load of fabrics.

Lao Zhao called the police.

What does lost mean?

What happened?

I'm worried too!

Ask! Go ask!

He was probably scammed.

Let's go to Guangzhou immediately.

I can't go now.

What do you say...

Couldn't you start going?

I can do it.

You are the owner.

Do as you like.

What are you looking at?

I was blind to marry him.

There's no way he'll do it again.

Don't make that face.

If it wasn't for the baby...

What's up now?

Make your phone call first!

Come with me.

I'm calling now.

I do.

Son.

Mom left.

Now it's just the two of us.

You have your backpack open.

How heavy it is.

You've grown so tall.

So you're too cool

to talk to me now?

Don't you even look at your wonderful father?

But Fei!

But Fei!

But Fei!

But Fei!

Stop!

Son!

Careful!

Is fine?

I am fine.

I am fine.

Go ahead.

Make sure you don't have anything broken, buddy!

Friend!

Why didn't you come to visit us?

Why didn't you come to visit us?

Why didn't you come to visit us?

Why didn't you come to visit us?

In three days

The HKSAR will celebrate its first National Day.

A century has passed,

and the wandering son,

he has finally returned home

in the warm embrace of the mother country.

Son,

he orders whatever you want.

Today,

we have to celebrate.

Here.

Please.

Thank you.

The tagliolini are very expensive.

Didn't they cost 50 cents?

How long ago?

Hey friend,

I didn't open the beer.

I change it for an orange soda.

All right.

And two bowls

of tagliolini with meat.

Extra coriander,

extra chilli,

extra garlic sprouts

and extra tagliolini and broth,

Thank you.

Friend?

How about ordering four bowls?

♫ Around the world ♫

♫ Along the rivers and plains ♫

♫ Country after country, I've lost count ♫

♫ Observe the sun ♫

After an excellent lunch,

dad took me to a strange new place.

He said,

that with his experience,

get a job there

it would have been very easy.

[Curriculum]

Damn.

I am very sorry.

It's okay, don't worry.

I can print another one.

What do you think

of my CV?

Engineer But?

Is it really her? Mr Ma?

I admire her very much.

Really.

Xiao Liu,

Ba Liang.

You don't remember?

I wanted to work in her company.

It was you who interviewed me.

- Remember? - I?

Yes!

But I-

My grades weren't good enough.

And she didn't want me.

I had nowhere to go.

So, I created my own company.

This...

is he his son?

Say hello.

Greetings.

He how are you?

It's like her,

attractive.

He looks like her.

Mr Ma, what is this?

Oh.

It's... my resume.

Cu... CV?

I can see?

Mr Ma,

with her qualifications,

are you looking for work here?

That's no good.

Seriously, this is no place for her.

This place...

Here you are.

Come here.

Do you know him?

No.

Who would she be?

Do you know him?

No.

Let me introduce you.

Come here.

Gather together.

Everyone come here.

Soon.

Those back there,

hurry up.

Well,

let me introduce you.

This one.

Do you know him?

No.

But I do!

Hao Wen Ma.

The famous engineer Hao Wen Ma!

Everyone knows him.

Dong Pei Bridge.

Hahaha, do you understand?

He collapsed suddenly.

Almost as

explosion.

Perfect,

since his son is also there

come on, tell us

like he did then

to get by?

Today, I finally got my revenge.

I wouldn't hire you

for no reason in the world.

Fei Ma.

It's nothing.

I am fine.

I am fine.

How much did you earn from it?

Why did a perfectly good bridge collapse?

Why does everyone blame you?

Liar!

Crook!

Why?

Listen to me.

Someone says

that you are stupid

an idiot,

a nothingness,

It is true?

But, your father doesn't believe it.

I will always have faith in you.

You saw the bridge I built collapse,

True?

But, your father

it will never collapse.

My son,

do you trust your father?

Thank you.

My father always said,

if you believe in yourself,

luck will come after you like a puppy.

Her strange magic tricks,

they finally worked.

Luck,

he found us immediately.

Idiots!

You are a bunch of idiots!

Why do I pay you a salary?

At that time?

Was it really that difficult?

I just wanted that

you found places to install the dynamite,

not to find a family to adopt.

How can he talk like that?

What?

Moderate your words.

We are just workers, we are not engineers.

There's that guy again.

I hate it.

The screed must be recalibrated.

Dad, let's go.

With many projects in progress,

Couldn't you leave us a good screed?

Dad, let's go.

The position of the dynamite is fundamental,

the risks are very high.

Wait.

This screed,

Sooner or later it will cause problems.

Here, hold this.

Wait here.

Stop screaming!
