Original subtitles

EVERY TIME AFTER I CRIED, I RUN AGAIN WITH A SMILE.

I KEEP SEARCHING WHILE LOSING. MILK COFFEE, "HELLO, TOMORROW"

What should I do, Meili?

The celebration is about to begin soon.

I have a good idea.

You should make a recording first, then you can lip-sync.

Lip-sync?

Don't give me such a rotten idea.

How is this a rotten idea?

We'll be installing all the equipment ourselves.

It's all our own people. You know that.

Are you really going to sing given your current standard?

Ningyuan is your alma mater.

Is this how you treat your alma mater?

Well, I'll get a tape to record it first.

I'm screwed.

If Lan Tianye knows, he will scold me for sure.

What should I do, Meili?

What else can you do? You'll have to do it by force.

How about this? Sing one by one.

If I think it's all right, then you can continue with it.

That's the only way.

We carry our dream after we grow up In our schoolbag

A field that lies in peace

You and I are the same

Everyone, take note.

Ningyuan High School's Centennial Anniversary

will be held in the school auditorium

at two o'clock in the afternoon.

NINGYUAN HIGH SCHOOL'S CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

Cancan.

Where's the tape?

I'm screwed. I forgot about it.

Go get it now.

Piggy Cancan.

You're going in the wrong direction.

-I'm going back to get the tape. -What tape?

A life-saving tape.

Cancan, aren't you attending the celebration? Why are you back?

I am leaving, Dad.

What took you so long?

Did you get the tape?

What tape?

My singing is seriously out of tune.

In order not to ruin the centennial celebration,

I recorded my singing in the tape first, and I can lip-sync later.

You are brilliant.

Piggy Cancan.

We should be honest.

And let me remind you.

Make sure it's not revealed.

Otherwise...

Each tape costs four yuan.

Three tapes for ten yuan.

-Each tape costs four yuan. -I took the wrong tape.

Where did my advertising tape go?

The celebration will take place in 15 minutes.

Cancan, just submit to your fate.

Can I escape now?

My singing is really bad.

I don't want to be the biggest joke in Ningyuan's history.

It's all right. Relax.

It's only one song.

Su Cancan.

You don't only represent yourself now.

You also represent Ms. Huang's class, Ningyuan, and the school song lyricist.

As for becoming a laughing stock, we can't exclude this possibility.

But you must sing on the stage.

Later, when you sing, follow my rhythm.

I will guide you.

Today is Ningyuan High School's Centennial Anniversary.

On this special day,

we have invited Victor Wong, the famous singer.

I believe many students are his fans, just like me.

But what you don't know

is that Victor Wong graduated from Ningyuan too.

Now, let's welcome our senior, Victor Wong, on stage.

Welcome.

Well, I guess right now, I could strongly feel that I became younger.

Previously, I met a pair of young, lovely, and energetic juniors.

The male junior is very smart.

As for the female junior, I think her lyrics were well written.

I heard that she was the one who wrote Ningyuan's school song.

Actually, I could see the word "dream", is shining on both of them.

I was once 17 years old myself.

My dream when I was 17 was to be a singer.

When people around me heard about that back then,

they found it unbelievable.

But I've made it now.

So I'm here today to tell all of you

that the dream you have when you were young isn't far beyond reach.

Please keep this in mind.

Be strong to take one step at a time.

No matter how difficult it is, you should hold on to it.

Don't forget your original aspiration. Thank you.

Next, let's welcome the students from Grade 11, Class 1,

to perform the song, "A Place Far Far Away."

Welcome.

We carry our dream after we grow up in our schoolbag

A field that lies in peace

You and I are the same

We wait for the school bell to ring

And the time for us to play around

What's our dream?

Let's keep it that way

Is the future far?

Is it still as long as our youth?

There's no guarantee for that

Let others think about it

Beside the library

I share it side by side with you

The sun has not yet set Behind the mountains

Let laughter fly free With the ginkgo leaves

To a place far, far away

Who applauds me?

For whom am I bustling around for?

I'll never forget my schoolmate Of three years no matter where I go

Let our singing fly free With the ginkgo leaves

To a place far, far away

The resounding voices singing by my side

This song accompanies you To soar up high in my stead

The resounding voices singing by my side

This song accompanies you To soar up high in my stead

NINGYUAN HIGH SCHOOL'S CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

GRADE 11, CLASS 1

Today is the last day for your junior year.

Let me emphasize one of the things I mentioned earlier.

Mind your safety.

Finish homework on time.

I wish you a happy holiday. Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Ms. Huang. -Goodbye, Ms. Huang.

-Who-- -I'm sorry.

What are your plans for your holiday?

What else can I do?

My mom registered tons of tuition classes for me.

We'll be in our senior year soon.

Same here. I don't get a single day to have fun.

Cancan, what about you?

I'll help out with my dad's store.

If you need any tape, you can find me.

-All right. -All right.

Piggy Cancan, come over here.

Why should I do as you say?

Get me a CD.

Sure, it's 200 yuan.

I'll give you a discount.

I'll make it 100 yuan.

Do you want to get hit?

What do you want?

Westlife's World of Our Own.

This hasn't been released in our country yet.

It's quite a trouble to get it.

What did you say?

All right. I'll help you.

Wait to hear from me.

Dad, look. It's SHE.

The group is named after their names.

In English, it means "she".

"She"?

Dad, listen to me.

You should get their albums.

The girls in my class love them.

All right. I'll listen to you.

Jay Chou, the one you recommended, is selling really well now.

I told you, right? The boys in my class love him.

Use the nunchucks

Inarticulate singing. I don't understand a thing.

Anyway, just do as I say.

Right.

I put the CD you asked for on the desk.

Which classmate of yours asked for it? A boy or a girl?

Why do I get the feeling that those who like Westlife are boys?

Dad.

Hello?

Hello, this is the Brilliant Audiovisual Store.

The CD that you requested has arrived.

Please collect it on time.

Thanks. What's the address?

No. 39, Wutong West Road. Come quickly.

POP MUSIC

Girl, we are here to visit you again.

How's your business lately?

Did anyone give you any trouble?

No.

It's a little chilly recently.

We are short of cash.

We have no money to buy clothes for our men.

What a shame.

Girl, you'd better be wise.

Don't push your luck.

Take out the money!

We don't have much.

This is all we have.

It's all here.

Can you let me keep the change?

Let you keep the change?

Darn it. This is even lesser than that.

And you dare to give it to me?

Return it to me then.

Are you an idiot? Asking us for money?

What is this?

It's foreign stuff.

It's quite valuable.

You can't take that.

So what if we take it?

Help!

Do you have a death wish?

Are you all right?

Damn it. What are you waiting for? Go get him!

I'm sorry.

-Can you not cause more trouble for me? -Watch out!

Sorry.

I won't go easy on you if you cause more trouble.

Just you wait.

Are you all right?

-No. -I'm sorry.

Where's my CD?

I got attacked because I was trying to protect your CD.

-So, I should thank you then? -No.

I should thank you.

You're injured. Come over to my house and have your wound bandaged.

-Let go. -Come on.

After all, you're injured because of me.

Don't worry. My house isn't too far away.

I'm not injured because of you.

I was injured by you.

Come on in.

Linkin Park?

You actually like rock music?

What do you mean "actually"?

I don't only like Linkin Park,

I also like the Beetles, and Beyond.

I can write lyrics.

I can also treat a wound.

I'm good at everything.

Why are you still standing there? Take a seat.

Your bed is a mess. Is that even a place for people to sit?

Cut the crap. Do you want me to apply the medicine for you or not?

Are you a pig?

You let a random guy come to your house and sit on your bed?

But it's bright around the bed.

Besides, you're not a random guy.

Take a seat over here.

The swelling goes down very quickly.

Piggy Cancan, make it quick.

Don't touch around.

Let go!

Cancan, why are you back so early today?

What's the matter?

Hide inside first.

Why should I hide?

-Hurry. My dad is here. -Cancan.

-No. -Are you hiding or not?

Cancan, I'm coming in.

Dad, you are back.

What are you doing?

Arranging my clothes.

You should do that.

I'm going to cook then.

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

Arranging my clothes.

Well, nothing happened at the store, right?

Why did you come back early?

Nothing.

I'll go and cook then.

Quickly come out.

Do you know it's...

Leave through the window. We'll be screwed if my dad finds out.

How?

You won't die jumping off the first floor.

Piggy Cancan, show me then.

Cut the crap.

Cancan, buy me soy sauce...

I'm arranging the clothes.

Your ass!

Come clean with me.

What were you doing in the room?

-Actually-- -Shut up!

I haven't started with you.

-Sir, it's not what you think. -I have seen it!

You're still making excuses?

No wonder I find you familiar.

During the parent meeting,

you were the bad kid who had an imposter parent!

It's not like that.

Shut up!

Have I been spoiling you?

You tell lies.

Puppy love.

Bringing a boy home.

Do you know what you are doing?

What else you can't do?

Do you know what shame is?

What is this?

You're shameless!

Dad, I'm not.

A group of gangsters came to our video store today.

Lan Tianye came over to collect the CD.

He helped to fight those gangsters and got injured.

So, I thought of taking him home to help clean his wound.

We didn't do anything!

That was all.

If so, why...

Why were you hiding it?

He's asking you. Why were you hiding it?

That's right. Why were we hiding it?

Here comes the roasted chicken.

Lan, help yourself. Don't stand on ceremony.

Cancan, why are you eating the drumstick?

Give it to Lan. He did you a favor today.

Dad, can you use a different name to address him?

Besides, if we're eating to replenish what we're short of,

he should take the pig's brain.

I heard from Cancan that her deskmate is very good at math.

He's not just good, he's brilliant.

Dad, do you know that he seldom reads?

But he always does better than us.

He gives us a shock. Why would such a person exist?

Cancan has been bad at math.

I hope you can help her out.

No problem, sir.

Sir.

Have you seen Cancan's grades for the end of the semester?

Her mathematical foundation is not strong.

Doing the homework given by the teacher won't be enough.

I have two sets of exercises.

I can bring it for her. Please supervise her.

Thank you so much.

We are classmates. It's what I should do.

All right. You can go home.

It's fine. Let me walk you further.

You're not familiar with the place. What if you get lost?

Do you think everyone is like you?

Hey, I'm walking you out of kindness.

Give me the CD.

You may go now.

How much is it?

Forget it.

Take it as the medical expenses for getting you injured.

You dare to bring it up?

I'm leaving.

Hey, Lan Tianye.

Study well, and keep improving.

Right.

Also, thank you.

Bye.

-Stop there! Return my PSP! -What's wrong if I play it for a few days?

Sorry.

Did you go to SHE's concert during your summer holiday?

Don't mention it. I didn't get a ticket.

I don't know when I can go next time.

What's the hurry? We're in our sophomore year.

We can go during the winter and summer holidays.

GRADE 12, CLASS 1

Zhao Lei,

why are there a few students that I don't recognize?

They are repeaters who are assigned to our class.

Hi.

Thank you.

Do you find the atmosphere a little strange?

It's the twelfth grade.

Is it that scary already?

They won't even go to the washroom?

You can go if you want to.

Sorry.

Meili.

It's only the beginning of the semester and it's suffocating me.

With the atmosphere in class, I dare not even utter a single word.

It feels like I'm in jail.

That's right.

It was just fine in the previous semester.

This semester is like a war.

They only take bread and biscuits for lunch.

It's like their butts are stuck to the chairs.

I watched the guy in front of me.

He didn't go to the washroom the entire day.

How are we going to get through this year?

Persistence is victory. It'll be fine after the exams.

The two repeaters in our class sit at the back of the class

with their heads buried in their homework.

The sight of them makes me feel lonely.

There must be a lot of pressure for the repeaters.

I was thinking...

they surely had good friends in their former classes.

Just like us. Talking and laughing together.

But they got bad grades for the college entrance examination.

All their friends have entered college.

But they have to repeat the twelfth grade themselves.

The thought of it puts me in despair.

I don't want to repeat the grade.

Cancan, don't think too much.

We can surely do well. Let's work hard together.

Meili, I don't want to be separated from you.

It's someone else that you don't want to be separated from.

No.

Don't think too much.

Even if you and Lin Jiaze can't go to the same college,

it's good enough to be in the same city.

Let's work hard for Beijing!

-Let's work hard together! -Let's work hard together!

Work hard to strive for it!

Work hard to strive for it!

-Work hard to strive for it! -Work hard to strive for it!

-Work hard to strive for it! -Work hard to strive for it!

Su Cancan.

Su Cancan.

Lin Jiaze.

Why do you seem upset?

Do you know that they are shutting down the radio station?

Ms. Huang asked me to hand over the keys tomorrow.

If only Mr. Zhou is still here.

He'll surely find a way to make us stay.

How is that possible? We're in the senior year now.

It's stressful enough in the senior year

and they are shutting down the radio station now.

Su Cancan.

What do you think the radio station means to us?

Dream.

So you think that if we give up on the radio station,

it means giving up on our dream?

Do you still remember what Mr. Zhou told us?

He hopes we can have the chance to go out and see the world.

Give up on the radio station,

and be committed to the college entrance exam.

That brings us closer to our dream.

Closer?

And it's a new starting point.

Besides, we have to give up the radio station somehow.

We can't stay in school forever.

Perhaps, it's not because of the radio station.

I can't help but feel that we're together because of the radio station.

Leaving it

feels like we're going separate ways.

We're now in high school.

We'll be going to college. How could we possibly go separate ways?

MOCK EXAM RESULTS FOR GRADE 12, CLASS 2

It's been only two days since the exam.

The results are out after the weekends.

Ms. Huang is really efficient.

I improved my ranking by ten ranks. I can be admitted to first-tier schools.

That's right. The result of our mock exam is important too.

SU CANCAN

Jiang Xiaoyou.

Where is Su Cancan?

I don't know.

I think she went outside.

She didn't come back?

Su Cancan!

Su Cancan!

Su Cancan!

Su Cancan!

Su Cancan!

Piggy Cancan.

What's the matter? Are you here to make fun of me?

Am I that free to find you just to make fun of you?

It's just an exam. You don't have to be like this.

Lan Tianye.

I really don't know what to do.

We only have one month to go before the college entrance exam.

I...

I'm just not a smart person.

I'm bad at math and history.

I have worked so hard.

But the score is worse than the last exam.

I don't want to take the exam.

I should just be a repeater.

That's great.

Then I'll become your senior.

Hey!

Before the exam, all successes and failures can be reset.

But if you give up,

that means you give up for real.

Back then, people used to think that I'm a bad kid.

They think that there's no future for me and that I'm ignorant and incompetent.

Even my parents couldn't be bothered with me.

You're not.

Hey.

Do you know the Berklee College of Music?

I chose the arts stream because I want to go there.

Berklee has high requirements for English.

But I have poor English.

But I put a lot of effort

because I know

I have no other choice, but to work hard.

Let me show you a magic trick.

Look. There's nothing.

Well, work hard then.

Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?

You're seventeen with the IQ of a three-year-old.

It's none of your business.

FINAL SPRINT TO COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM

Greetings to all the students and teachers.

I'm Lin Jiaze from the radio station.

Please allow us to present a special program for the twelfth graders.

I won't think if I can succeed.

Since I chose a distant place,

I will go there come rain or shine.

I won't think if there'll be cold wind or rain behind me.

Since I aim for the horizon,

the only thing left for the world is the view of my back.

I know that you are experiencing the most important challenge in life.

Perhaps, you have anxiety and fear.

You feel hesitant because of the temporary failure.

But please don't forget the promise that you once made.

The partner who struggles with you are waiting for you at a college.

Wishing you, who are about to take the college entrance exam to have

no complaints in pursuing your dreams, and no regrets in your youth.
