Parking

The second Sunday in May

Hello

Last night I worked until dawn

I originally wanted to drive straight home

I was too tired and slept a while by the side of the road

What time is it?

Today? Yes, didn't we make an appointment for dinner today?

If I head back now, I should be in time

The store in that alley?

You bought the chocolate one?

Ok, should I buy the 6-inch cake

Or should I buy 2 small ones?

I'll decide for you

And buy some chocolate for you too

Okay? See you soon

Bye bye

Is this for Mother's Day or for a birthday?

No, this is for my own dessert

This Italian Boston and Italian chocolate,

What's the difference between the two?

The filling is different

Inside this one is sponge cake, with fresh whipped cream

In this one is mousse the texture is lighter

How many people is this for?

Two

Two

then would you consider this small one?

The lady who came with you last time, she bought the chocolate mousse

Yes, that's my wife

She doesn't like chocolate mousse

I'll have a six-inch tiramisu

There's no six-inch, this is the only one left

Then an Italian chocolate

Ok

How do you make your chocolate like that?

It looks like it's got no energy

My chocolate is sold for its taste, not for its energy

If you think my chocolate got no energy

I suggest you go to the convenience store, or the supermarket

The chocolate there is very energetic

Lady, I just want to buy a cake

Sorry, we're closed today

Mister, I want to ask

Whose is that double-parked car outside?

Wait a moment, let me fix this first

Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go out and take a look

This car?

This car belongs to the third floor

They often park this way at night

You see where the window was broken?

Looks like it was a bullet

No doubt, it's the third floor's

Well then, you could try honking

The third floor on this side?

They should come down soon

Wait for a moment

Thank you

Little girl

Little girl, are your parents home?

Grandpa, someone's here

Sir, I would like to ask about...

Little Ma!

Ah-Yun, Little Ma came back

Little Ma?

Little Ma came back?

Little Ma

Little Ma

Little Ma

Little Ma

You came back?

You've gotten thinner

You came back, why didn't you tell us first?

No matter, come, let's have dinner

It's dinnertime

Ok

Sir, I made a mistake

Sorry

Little girl, bye bye

Bye bye

Hey, did you find them?

I saw the car leave just now

Yeah, I just went to the third floor

That car doesn't belong to the third floor

It's not? Sorry, I misremembered

Then it should be the fourth floor's

Only the third and fourth floors are occupied here

I can't tell who's who

You saw Nini, didn't you?

The little girl? I did

Just now the old man and woman thought I was Little Ma

Little Ma is their son?

Little Ma is the old man and old woman's only son

Nini is Little Ma's daughter

And Little Ma?

Was convicted and shot to death

That was all six, seven years ago

It was big news

A bodyguard kidnapped his client's child

Do you remember the news?

Little Ma's wife was about to give birth at the time

And after she gave birth, she became sick and had to stay at the hospital

Little Ma didn't have enough money

That's why he kidnapped his client's child

He put the child in a car trunk and suffocated him by accident

Before Little Ma was arrested

His wife died

Thank you, sir, I'll be going

Hello

Can you wait one more hour for me?

There are some things tying me up here

I can't explain it clearly over the phone right now

I'll tell you when I get back

All right?

Are you hungry?

I bought the cake already

I bought a six-inch cake

Ok

Bye bye

Little girl, what's your name?

My name is Nini

How old are you?

I just turned six years old

So you're six years old

You are doing it wrong

It's not right?

No, it's not

It's not?

Then how do you do it?

Turn it around

What?

Like this?

It's my turn

Little Ma, come help for a moment

You try it

I've forgotten, how old are you this year?

I'm 31 years old

Not long from now, we're going to be moving out

Most of the neighborhood has moved out

There are only a few households left

They're in a similar situation

Don't know where to move to

A few years ago

You wrote a letter back to us

After your father read it

He only told me you were busy overseas

I asked him and said

Did you say anything else?

He only said you wanted us to take care of ourselves

I wouldn't believe that

We've been apart all these years

You must have a lot of things to say to me

This letter

I've always kept it beside me

I keep on telling your father

Before I leave this world

I want to hear your voice again

Here

Read it for me

To Mr. Ma

Dear Dad and Mom: I will be gone.

I am sorry to you, Nini, and the victim's family.

Hsiao-Yu was ill... Everything happened so suddenly.

I am in jail, unable to take care of you.

Dad, Mom

Is everything going well?

Xiao Yu and I are in Boston right now

Last week

The company suddenly transferred me to America

Xiao Yu came along with me

Things happened very suddenly

I didn't have time to contact you

I am really sorry

It's already spring here right now

It's cold here

I am very unused to the lifestyle here

But don't worry

Even though Xiao Yu and I are overseas

We are always thinking of you

And Nini

When my life here is settled down

I will return and bring Nini over here

Best wishes

Keep it safe

Thank you

I still have some things to take care of

Take your time eating

I have to go now

Nini, be good and listen to your grandpa and grandma

Ok

I'm going then

When are you coming back?

I'll be back in awhile

Let's make it a pinky promise

Ok

Good girl

Take your time

See you soon

Do it harder

Like this?

Stop

Can I see you piss?

Widen your legs

A little more

Wider

Don't touch me

Should I give you eight thousand or ten thousand?

Ten thousand

You know why I never fuck women in the pussy?

Because it stinks there

Miss, you dropped your money

Fushun China November 2006

Are you Lee Wei?

Yes

26 years old this year

You've worked in our factory for 10 years

8 years

Do you have family?

My mother

Does she have work?

No

Do you have a boyfriend?

It's nothing really

Take your time

Lee Wei

You know the situation in our factory now, don't you?

Production isn't good

There are going to be big layoffs

This is the severance pay the factory is giving you

"The robbery who kidnapped the boy was arrested"

You can leave now

Lee Wei

If this ever happens again

You gotta tell me at once

I'll take care of it on the spot

That customer may be a regular

But even regulars can't mess with you Am I right?

Oh, all right

We' re in the service business

What the customer wants to do

We let him do

Just endure it

What about my money?

What money?

Your mother already took the money, didn't I tell you?

When am I going to pay off the debt?

Two, three months

Three months ago, you said I'd pay it off in two or three months

Why does it take another two or three months?

On top of that, you're making my schedule tighter and tighter

Sister, get this straight

Right now what you spend, use, eat, wear every day

Who the fuck you think is paying for it?

Who paid for that tattoo on your back?

You want to talk about money?

Take a look in the mirror

What you're like now

Compared to you a few months ago in your boondock home in the Northeast

They're two completely different people

Whose money was it?

You still want to talk money with me?

Motherfucker

Don't said that to me

All right, I won't

You hungry?

We'll eat something and then I'll send you over

What are you doing?

Lee Wei

Lee Wei

Lee Wei...

Fuck, you try to run again

Are you fucking with me?

Why are you hitting her?

Don't get in the way!

Fuck, what are you trying to do?

Lee Wei

What do you think you're doing?

She is a woman

This is my wife

Fuck you

This is family business What do you want to do?

You want to hit a woman?

Are you a man?

How does this look?

Fuck you

Call the police

This is none of your business

Fuck off

Sorry, sorry

We'll be late about 15 minutes

Yes

I'm very sorry

We'll be there soon

Ok

Then drink some tea, relax

We'll be there soon

Thank you

Hello

I'm going to head back now

I just met an old couple and a child

It's not convenient for me to talk about it here

I'll tell you when I get back

Ok, I'm heading back now

Shit!

I sat on the cake

I'll call you later

Let me fix it first

Bye bye

Sir, sir

Can you give this to me to eat?

That's no longer edible

It's all right

Ok. Thank you

Thank you

Mister, can I use your restroom?

Why haven't you left yet?

I sat on my cake

My pants are covered in cream and chocolate

Don't you eat cake with your mouth?

How did it get to your butt?

Walk to the end, on your left

Thanks

Thank you, goodbye

Take care, Mr. Zhu

Goodbye, goodbye

A true gentleman

Mister, thank you

You're welcome

Weren't you closed today?

I can't help it, he's an old customer

How long have you had this shop?

15 years

This building's already very old

Do you still have time now?

What is it?

Would you like to play a game of World Cup?

World Cup?

All right

Not bad

Excuse me

I won

2 : 2

Brilliant

2 : 2

Last ball

Whoever gets it in first, it's game over

Your luck is not bad

It's at the goal

Excuse me

You are so dedicated

Goalie, nice work!

Ok, thanks

Ok

I'm leaving

We'll play again next time if we have the chance

Ok Good bye

Take care

May I ask if the Benz outside belongs to you?

What Benz?

The one that's double-parked

The one parked there?

There

Has it been parked there for long?

I don't know

It's blocking my car

Is it yours?

The Benz?

Yes

Could I have the number of the Da Tong Towing Lot?

My car is parked on a legal parking space

There's an illegally double-parked car blocking my car

Could you send someone over to take care of it?

Ok. Where is your car?

This is Chengde Road, Section 2, No. 190

Chengde Road, Section 2

Sir, I'm sorry

Our drivers have all gone out right now

There are no trucks available

We can tow it for you later

I'm sorry, you'll have to wait longer

It's almost 9 o'clock right now

How could your drivers have all gone out?

Today is Mother's Day and Sunday

The trucks are all outside, it's been busier today

We will tow it for you later

But I have an urgent matter right now

What should I do?

If you have an urgent matter, then you can take a taxi

Because there are really no trucks right now Why should I ride a taxi?

Just send a truck over and take care of this

Boss, I'm only an employee here

All the trucks are out right now

If there's a truck I'll send it over to you

If there's no truck, I can't do anything

Leave your phone number

A truck comes I'll call you right away

How's that?

0932215397

Ok, ok

If a truck is available, I'll call you right away

Hello

I'm going to take a taxi back now

Are you still waiting for me to eat?

Sorry

My car keeps getting blocked by other people, I can't get out

How can I explain to you?

Wait, I'm getting in a taxi

To Taishan, near Mingzhi Institute of Technology

Excuse me, sir. That's not on my route I'm in a hurry to get to dinner

How about I pay you a little more?

If it was on my route I'd take you, I'd even do it for free

It's really not on my route, I'm sorry,

Excuse me

The taxi won't take me

I'm really unlucky

Just listen to me

My car keeps getting blocked by other people, over and over

So I can't get out

Fuck!

I didn't know anyone was in the car

Wait a moment. What do you want?

Fuck! Don't run! Stop running!

Stop running, stop running

Drag him here, drag him here

Take it off

Get away

Shit! Motherfucker! You owe money and still try to run

Mad Dog

Motherfucker, how dare you say his name?

Did I let you speak?

Isn't this going too over?

Let them go first

Let him go in and wash first

Let them go

Have the others leave first

Wait a moment for me over there

Ok

Long time no see

Mister, that car...

Young man, come over here and help

Take his clothes inside

Ok

It's been over ten years

How've you been?

All right

I opened a shop

And you?

That broken down car

Still hasn't been replaced

How do you think?

That's because you're nostalgic

Real fucking nostalgic

fuck

What's wrong?

You're not in the business anymore?

Hand me a cigarette

Back when I had two hands

Life was already so hard

Now with only one hand left

How could I survive?

It's very inconvenient?

It is very inconvenient

I even have to ask your help to smoke a cigarette

Does it hurt?

It hurts

I'm used to it by now

It hurt for half a year

After that it hurt even more

After it was severed

The place where my palm used to be still hurt

I don't know why

Even when the hand's gone, it still hurts?

Blackie's gang did it

That time I didn't know you were joking

So I really went and did it

Later one time

One of Blackie's sidekicks, Little Four

Do you remember him? That crazy Four

I was ambushed by him

You know what he did to me?

Every joint in my fingers

He crushed with a hammer

Then he hammered my wrist

That fucker Little Four bit the dust recently

He did?

Got sick

Tell that fatty

He can't stay here

Today it was because of you

But we'll come for him again

Next time it won't be like this

You oughta know

Is the master in?

That's me

I mean the one who's older than you

You're probably talking about my old man

He passed away a year ago

How can that be?

I visited him two years ago before I went to the mainland

That time, I even told him the 'Boston' over the doorway was spelled wrong

It's not P, it's B

He said it was P, not B

Are you from around here?

I'm from Hong Kong

Actually my old man was too

He just came here first

When did you come here?

8 years ago

I've never seen you before

I've seen you before

I still remember you

Ok, then...

I have a piece of cloth

I originally wanted to ask your father to make a shirt for me

But he's not here

So I can only ask you instead

No problem

Ok. Then let's take a look at the cloth

I had never before seen such fine cloth

After the customer left

I pondered a long time in the shop

About what, I don't know

Not long after I began cutting the cloth

That day

Was the happiest day I ever spent as a tailor

That night I had a dream

I dreamt of my father

Wearing the clothes I had made

Afterwards, I realized

It was as if I had made this suit of clothing for my father

He tailored clothing for people all his life

But he himself was never able to wear a good pair

After he left

Holding on to this store

Was like holding on to a coffin

Except the one buried in the coffin

Was myself

What happened?

I told my customer

I don't want to make clothes for other people anymore

Because I know in 20 years

I'd still be wearing this same suit of clothing,

tailoring clothes for other people

I asked him, could I go into business with him?

How did you know I opened a clothing factory in Guang Zhou?

I still remember you talked to my old man about it

You really intend to give up this shop and come help me in the clothing factory?

Then let me ask What are you going to do with the shop?

I'll close it down first

Once I settle down over there

Then I'll take care of matters over here

You're completely different from your father

He was cautious and conventional

When I first arrived in Guang Zhou

Everything was quite smooth

Who would have thought in less than a year?

A problem arose in company turnover

After the company was finished

I returned to Hong Kong

And couldn't find a job,

Only some temporary work

One day I remembered this suit of clothing

And wanted to come back and take it with me

Thought I might as well come back to take a look at the shop

As a result, they caught me as soon as I returned

Back when the company had problems

I put the house up as collateral

And borrowed five million

Then the underground loan sharks couldn't find him

So they came for me

How did things turn out this way?

When I saw you before, you were even quite happy to leave here

How the hell could I know?

Back when I was living with my mother in Hong Kong,

I always wanted to leave

After she passed away,

I came to Taipei

The following years I saw my father's business getting harder and harder

After I came to Guang Zhou,

Everything was new

I wanted to stay and become prosperous

In the end, it's still the same

Just now Mad Dog told me

You can't stay here anymore

They'll come for you again.

You know there's no one the mafia can't find

You were lucky this time

They only splashed you with paint

Next time it'll be different

Young man

You aren't hurt, are you?

I'm all right

My arm was hit

I think you should head back

Or else the later it is the more problems will come up

Yeah

Where do you want to go?

I can take you there

Is your car white?

Yeah

Then never mind

It's blocked again

Did you see who it was?

Yeah

Looks like it was someone from over by the clinic

Should be the fourth floor's

Only their car comes and goes like that

Who are you here for?

I want to ask if the double-parked car downstairs is yours?

Ah Bao

Is your car blocking someone?

Which car?

Which car?

A grayish blue car

The grayish blue one

No

Sorry, not our car

Are you here to fuck around, dipshit?

I want to speak to Ah Bao

I told you it's not our car

I want to speak to him about something else

Ah Bao, someone here for you

All right, be right there

Did a friend introduce you here?

He's the shit who just said someone was blocking his car

Are you that bored, letting anyone come here to fuck around?

I just said it's not my car

You blocked my car during the evening

Evening?

Damn, that was three, four hours ago

What the fuck do you want coming to me now?

Your car's blocked again?

It's not my fucking car

Go find the owner

What do you want me for?

If you hadn't blocked my car in the first place

I wouldn't be here right now

Brother,

Let me tell you frankly

I also hate assholes who double-park

But what can you do?

Everyone's out there making a living Am I right?

Cars come and go

And sometimes they double park for a while

5 minutes, 10 minutes only

So what?

Am I right?

Your car's been parked there longer than 10 minutes

You Motherfucker!

What day is it today?

Sunday

What time is it?

Past 9 o'clock

Who am I hurting if I park there?

I'm hurting you?

Then what the fuck you wanna do?

Then how's this?

Your car's stuck there now anyway, am I right?

How's this?

You can call a girl and have a good time

Here, I'll give it to you cheap All right?

No need

It's my apology to you

Come on, I'm serious

This one's not bad

No thanks

See, she used to be in fashion magazines

Come on

Just give it a try

No need

You don't like this type, huh?

No problem

How's this one?

No, I just wanted to tell you...

It's because your car was blocking my car that I'm here now

Lee Wei

Lee Wei

This is a mainland girl

We just brought her here

Beautiful

All right, isn't she?

No need

She's really good

It's all real

Take a try

No need

Come on, have a good time

Fresh

Shit

Fuck It's assholes like you

What the hell?

Fuck you, jackass

Fuck your mom in the ass

You can't see I'm sleeping?

Motherfucker

"A man wants a transsexual operation, a woman is donating the penis"

What's Taiwan like?

Taiwan's a small island

Ocean on four sides

There's a mountain in the middle

Dividing Taiwan into east and west

Summers are very hot

Winter's not too cold

Then where are we staying in Taiwan?

Taipei

Is it big?

Taipei's not small,

But compared to Shanghai or Beijing

Of course it's a bit smaller

But it's very modern

I've heard there are lots of delicious things in Taipei

Yeah

Night markets, eateries

When we go there I'll take you to eat there

You'll take me to these places?

Yeah

Does Taipei have places for body piercing?

Body piercing?

Does Taipei have places for body piercing?

You're talking about tattoos

Yeah

There are

The same one?

The same one again

I got it

Ok. Bye bye

I'm going out to deliver the goods

Look after things here

Motherfucker, look after your own tooth

Fuck

My dad once struck his nose in a motorcycle accident

His whole nose swelled up

Said it was no big deal Didn't have to see the doctor

Later he got it examined

It was nasopharyngeal carcinoma

I don't want you to be too late

Peanut, how old are you?

35

How long have we known each other?

About 15 years or so

Every day for the last 15 years I've listened to you bullshitting

What's with you?

Are you asking for someone to fuck you up?

You obviously see I'm in pain

You don't say a thing to comfort me

You even keep talking about your dad's cancer

A swollen nose and nasopharyngeal carcinoma are two different things

You mix them together, what's with you?

You think I'll cheer up hearing that?

Fuck

I took you and that vegetarian under my care

One bullshits all day

One sleeps in a chair all day

I tell him to look after the place

And he gets all pissed with me

Even makes fun of me

Fuck

Vegetarian and still wanna be gangster

Sometimes argues with me he can't take lives

Why doesn't he get out and fuck with someone else?

Speaking of you two

Laurel and Hardy

Ah Bao, don't talk like that

We've known you so long

We haven't been fucking with you

You say that vegetarian

Looks like a lazy shit

But when something happens, he's always first to fight for you

Today, if it wasn't for him Giving a kick like that

That nutjob might still be here fucking around

If the police came

We'd have no business at all

Seriously

Do you know how bad nasopharyngeal carcinoma gets?

Back when my dad's nose was so fucking huge

The doctor said they'd have to cut the whole nose off with a knife

Motherfucker, fucking terrifying

Just two nose-holes left on your face

Look like Michael Jackson

Do I have to insult your dad to make you shut up?

If you've got time to fuck around, then think

Where can we toss this guy?

We could throw him in a park somewhere

But the shit'll hit the fan if he dies

Fuck, so unlucky

Ah Bao, then how's this

Once you take care of the guy in the back

Send Lee Wei back

Then I'll take you to the hospital, all right?

It breaks my heart to see you like this

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

I haven't been this tired since the relay race I ran as a kid

Motherfucker. Brat

You dare hit me?

Fuck

(Yesterday...)

Come, straighten both sides of your clothing, right

Hello

Hello

How was the shooting?

All right

I still have another outfit to shoot

It'll take about another half hour

Then how do you want to meet up?

Come pick me up

Where is it?

That photo studio on Renai Road

Remember?

It's that photographer who loves to chat with you?

Yeah

Did we make the doctor's appointment at 4?

Yeah

This time you can't be late, ok?

Please

Ok. I won't

Then call me when you get here

I've gotta go

OK?

OK. Bye We

Your situation is very unusual

That is to say, it is probably impossible for you to have a child with each other

How should I put it?

Because your wife's eggs and your sperm are incompatible

She cannot become pregnant by natural means

Why did this happen?

There is no why

This is a problem your bodies were born with

If you want to have your own child

You will have to try in-vitro fertilization

This is the only way

Using your husband's sperm with another person's eggs

Or using your eggs with another person's sperm

You can become pregnant this way

Doctor, you must be kidding us

When I came eight months ago, you said there was hope

You had me do all these examinations

I did everything

You told me to do ovulation

and do antisperm

What did I not do? You told me there was still hope

Now what are you telling me?

Now you're telling me egg and sperm are incompatible, how can I accept that?

I've been with my husband so long

His sperm are just yawning around beside my egg?

Is this a joke?

Now what?

How many more tests will you tell me to take?

Are you going to tell me to give up?

It's been eight months! Doctor

Mei

It's been eight months

Mei

Say something, doctor

Enough

Fuck you

You understand shit

Do you know what it's like to have your legs spread apart?

To have pliers digging around inside you? Do you understand?

You just have to jack off with a porn magazine in the fucking bathroom

You understand shit

Enough already

Fuck

Hello

Are you at work?

Yeah

Can I come over to see you?

I'm still working right now

I'm already outside the office

Can you let me inside?

Wait a moment

You eat a little first

I'm not hungry yet

I shouldn't have been like that to you at the hospital yesterday. I'm sorry

Can you look at me while I'm speaking to you?

Can you respect me while I'm working?

We've been together for four years?

What are you trying to say?

I know things are bad with us right now

But when we first wanted to have a baby,

it definitely wasn't to save our marriage

I would never have such a despicable idea

Don't you remember at all?

When we were first married

How much we loved each other?

Together, there was no end to the things we did and talked about

We wanted to have a baby to share in our happiness

You've probably forgotten, haven't you?

I haven't forgotten

In order to have a baby

I tried so hard and so much, and for what?

It was because I never forgot the promises we made at the start

I never forgot how I first loved you

Yesterday I went to the hospital

After I got back

I had a dream

I dreamt I had a baby

Then when I walked into the nursery

No one was there

"Delivery Room"

I was very afraid then

and I became exhausted I couldn't move

Then I kept yelling.

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

After I woke up, you weren't beside me

I guess you were at work, so I went to look for you

Because I couldn't bear to be home alone

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I shouldn't have been like that to you at the hospital

Why don't we try one more time?

The noodle is getting cold You eat first

Shall we eat together tomorrow?

All right

Hello

I don't know

I don't know where I am

Who is this?

All right

There's no need

Have you eaten yet?

It's ok, it's ok

I'll be home soon

Don't worry

I haven't

You don't have to wait for me You eat first

I'm fine

Ok

Excuse me I forgot to ask where you're going

Take me to Mingzhi Institute of Technology

You still have school this late?

My house is near there

Oh yeah, what were you doing back there?

I don't know either I was there when I woke up

You don't know?

Normally nobody goes there at night

You were lucky

I was just heading back

Otherwise, catching a cab around here

You wouldn't catch one if you stood there till you died

It looks like you're hurt pretty bad

Do you want to go to the hospital?

It's all right

Just head to Mingzhi Institute of Technology

Oh, ok

You drive pretty fast

Pretty fast?

This isn't fast at all

I used to piloting airplanes

I am Chinese Air Force Academy Star Fighter

Fighter aircraft pilot

I've had a dream since I was little

A dream to become just like a bird

Soaring above the blue skies and white clouds

It's an awesome feeling

Look at me coming out, look at me disbanding

I rise up, I descend Loosen the handle, glide

Slow down, make contact, see the runway

Lock my four wheels completely

Glide down

Turn twice, land

Did you see that?

The ultimate speed

You're lucky today

Catching a car driven by a fighter pilot

How did you get to driving taxis?

My flight instructor told me that

All it takes to fly is to have the brains of a pig

That's enough to let you take off

Then why wasn't I able to take off?

That's because our flight instructor said

I have the brains of a pig with a concussion

Today's Mother's Day

You're hurt so badly

If your Mother sees this, won't she be upset?

Driver, could we change route to Chengde Road?

Chengde Road?

Mingzhi Institute of Technology and Chengde Road are pretty far apart

Where on earth do you want to go?

To Chengde Road

Chengde Road

Please hurry

Ok, no problem

What's wrong?

Lady, I want to buy another cake

No, what happened to you?

I'd like to buy a cake, lady

My cakes are sold out

Here, sit down first

How about a drink of water?

Didn't you buy a cake this afternoon?

That one got ruined

You haven't been home yet?

Not yet

It's ok, lady

I'll buy one somewhere else

Wait a moment

I have three cakes here

They were flawed

I was planning to save them for myself

They don't look as good

Not as much energy

But they taste just as good The cake is fine

It's ok, I'll buy it from you

No need, no need

These cakes aren't for sale

Just take them home to eat

Do you want to rest a little longer?

It's ok, I'm heading back now

Thank you, lady

I thought you went back already

I don't know,

It seems like I was beaten up

Was it the fourth floors' doing?

Should've been

After I woke up

I was already at the riverbank

Go to the bathroom first, wash your bruises

Ok

I'll come help you in awhile

Ok

How could they have done this?

Hello

Hello, Boss

Was it you who reported a blocked car?

That's right

Do you still need a tow truck?

Yeah, of course I do

Ok, you can take a break Drink a cup of hot water

We're heading there at top speed now It'll be there in 10 minutes

Ok

Ok then

Good bye

You're a real good guy

You're hurt so badly

And still bring us snacks

You ate all the cakes?

There's one left

For you

It tasted quite good

Have you eaten anything yet?

Not yet

Sit down

I'll make a bowl of soup for you

Are you all right?

Much better

What kind of soup is this?

Fish head soup with shredded ginger

I see you hurt the corner of your eye

So eat the part with the fish eyes first

I'll give you a bowl with more fish meat in it later

Are these from the fish head in the bathroom before?

That's right

The kitchen's too cramped

No place to put it

But don't worry about hygiene

In the sink

I already had this fish cleaned out thoroughly

It's sweet

I drank three bowls

It's ok

I should be going soon

I'm not eating

Your car is still blocked anyway

You should drink the fish soup first

I just got a call from the towing lot

They're sending a tow truck soon

I'll wait outside

You're hurt so badly

Let me send you home

I'll send him back first

Ok

It's so late

Will the tow truck still come?

They called and said they'd be here soon

They wouldn't be lying to me, would they?

Then we'll be waiting for nothing

I don't think we have to be waiting right now

You're hurt so badly

Can you drive all right?

I'm fine

Leg still hurts a little

You're ok, right?

Not as bad as you

Don't drive too fast

Where are you going later?

First I'll make sure you get home safely

Then I'll go find a place to live somewhere

What do you intend to do afterwards?

Go to the mainland

Do you know anyone on the mainland?

Yeah

The people I knew back when I was doing business there

Go back and see what chances there are

Are you in a hurry?

I must have more free time than anyone in the world right now

Hey!

Fuck!

You know him?

No

Then why'd you hit him?

I don't know

What about you?

He beat me up like this

Fuck

Wait for me

Hurry, hurry

I didn't know you came back to hit people

Get out, get out

Lift him across

What the hell are you doing?

Lift him across

Wait, wait

Look at my car. Wait for me

Where are you going?

Who is it?

Sir, it's me

Sir

When I left tonight

I told Nini I would come back to see her

They're all asleep by now

Can you let me in for a moment?

What happened to your face?

I bumped into something by accident

I just want to see Nini for a moment

Who is it?

It's me

How come it's so late?

Last time I promised Nini I'd come back to see her

Nini

Were you a good girl?

Why did you come back so late?

Me? I had something to do just now

Are you going to stay here tonight?

Nini, I'm going to leave in awhile

You have to be good and listen to grandpa and grandma from now on

No, you can't go

If you're going, I'm going with you

Nini, you can't talk like that

Little Ma

What's your name?

Chen Mo

Chen Mo?

C-H-E-N, M-O

As soon as I touched your face

I knew you weren't Little Ma

Before you left

You came back to eat with us

You are a good man

About the same age as Little Ma too

Even though you lied to make me happy

Even if my eyes cannot see

My hands are not blind

At dinner, I kept feeling that

You were sent by Heaven to watch over us

Come, Mr. Chen

Help me keep this envelope

In it is the letter Little Ma left for Nini

Take Nini and go

I believe you can provide the right path for Nini

Nini

Ever since Mommy gave birth to you

She's never left the hospital again

At first

I thought she just needed time to recover

But only when it got worse and worse every day

Did I realize that things were going to be different

During those few days when you were just born

I suddenly remembered

I'd known your mother for twelve years

I felt like those twelve years

should've been only a part of our entire lives

But, in fact they were all of it

We have to go

it's not because we don't love you

That we are abandoning you

There are many turning points in peoples' lives

We cannot anticipate them

In an instant

Everything disappears

I remember the time when Mommy passed away

She told Daddy to catch a bug that was on the ceiling

I could never find that bug

But your Mommy kept insisting it was there

Afterwards

I asked a policeman

What that bug looked like?

He drew it for me

It was along, long

Insect with many, many legs

I don't know why an insect would need that many legs to walk

Just like I don't know why we left you like we did

In the future you will encounter many setbacks

Perhaps you will cry

But remember in the end

You must still go forward without stopping
