(At Least Take the First Step)

Song!

What's on your mind?

Huan'er is right.

This is not the life I want.

I'm not exactly enjoying
the international program.

Song.

Why do you care so much about

what Chen Huan'er said?

Why?

Don't skip your physical training.

Dad.

When you shoot for the goal,

the ball is too slow.

Hello, Mr.Jing.

Hey there, Song Cong.

What brings you here?

Why wouldn't I be here?

You are barely at home.

Your shoes are always
covered in dirt and grass.

I'm not a fool.

Does Mom know too?

What?

She's your concern?

I'm standing right here.
Aren't you concerned?

You misunderstood.

All I want to say is that

your senses are so sharp that perhaps
you could help me out...

Fine.

Enough about that.

Why did you sneak out
to play football at night?

What's the matter?
Why not train with your school's team?

That's not it.

Their level is too low for me.

I'm aiming to go professional.

Training with them

is like playing with children.

When I was young,

I had the same ambition.

I had my idols.

Maradona and Baggio

were my idols.

But when it comes to football,

it depends on your talent

and fate.

I think you're doing great

for now.

It's a great hobby.

Dad!

You sound just like Mom!

You two went through the trouble
of finding me

a coach.

You sent me to training every time.

Why are you

asking to treat it like a hobby?

You're unbelievable.

Song Cong.

Take a seat.

You, come with me.

If you hit this bottle

with every shot,

you might have a chance
to go professional.

Come on.

It didn't even graze it.

Again!

It's alright.

That was my first shot.

After ten thousand shots, I can surely hit it.

Why did you transfer to a different class?

For personal reasons.

Personal reasons?

How personal is that?

Is it so personal

that your parents don't know?

They know.

I have a question.

So many outstanding students

are trying to get a spot
in our class.

Some even cried and begged to get in.

But, I've never seen one
who wanted to leave.

Song Cong.

Why wouldn't you stay in this class?

I've made up my mind.

I need your blessing.

Thanks, sir.

Unbelievable.

Song Cong?

What's wrong?
Is it something exciting?

I see.

You won first place.

Congratulations.

It's not that.

Congratulations.

Your essay was selected
as the best.

I should get going.

Qi Qi.

In the exam, the essay isn't
a showcase of your writing style.

You need to score points.

I want you to redo the essay.

(The Power of A Family's Bond)

Can I read the essay?

Didn't you hear the teacher?

I didn't score the points.

I must redo it.

Does it matter?

I trust my own judgment.

(Song Cong's words)

(help me understand the joy)

(of being understood.)

(I believe)

(it's a force of attraction,
like magnets.)

(Someday,)

(I'll get the response I long for.)

Mom and Dad.

Welcome home.

Song Cong.

We must have a word.

Your homeroom teacher just called.

You asked for a class transfer.

Why didn't you tell me?

You're already busy with your work.

I didn't want to worry you.

Besides,

I think I can

handle the matter.

It's not that serious.

How is this not serious?

Tell me, what is serious?

Why the class transfer?

You even lied by saying
we knew about it.

Actually,

if that's his wish, so be it.

He doesn't have to study abroad.

Song Hang, don't make up
excuses for him.

The international class

and studying abroad

were all matters we discussed.

We planned it all.

Why did you change your mind?

You went as far as

getting a class transfer
behind our back!

Song Cong.

You were always so obedient as a kid.

Why have you...

I've grown up.

Mom.

I thought it through.

I don't want to be in the class

or go to an elite university.

We're not a rich family anyway.

You shouldn't live such a frugal life

only to send me overseas.

Besides,

the local universities

are just as great.

If I stay, I can definitely

get into the best universities.

I won't disappoint you.

Disappointment?

Do you take me for Li Tian's parents?

Did I put you in that class

and send you abroad

only to make me look good?

You think too lowly of your mom.

I'm not highly educated.

But I've been through hardships!

Ever since you were born,

I told myself

to never let you suffer

the same fate as me.

Even when you were little,

I inquired everyone I could

so you could be outstanding.

I know.

I know that, Mom.

I understand.

You've always

put me before everything.

I'm aware of that.

Even when you...

You love your walnuts,

but you save them as tonics for me.

My brain doesn't need
that much tonics, Mom.

I am aware of how much
you've sacrificed for me,

so I study so hard every day
of my life

and follow every step as you say.

But you never asked me

what life I want and my ambition.

Did I not ask you?

Did I not do that?

Every time I asked,

you were like your dad.

Your answer was always "whatever".

Fine, forget that I ever asked.

Tell me now.

What do you like?

What don't you like?

Tell me.

Say it!

I don't like walnuts.

I want to be like everyone else.

Sometimes, I really envy Xichi.

I envy him

when he cracks jokes with friends.

He can go home after school.

He can join extracurricular activities.

You and Dad may not

believe me,

but that is how I feel.

My son,

we...

- We never knew you felt that way.
- Please, Mom and Dad.

I didn't make this decision on a whim.

I've decided

which major I want to take.

What might that be?

Tell me.

What major is that?

I'm giving you a chance.

Why are you telling me?

Fine, Song Cong.

You are not being honest with us.

I didn't believe it

when they said raising a kid

brings suffering.

I never believed my son
would be the case.

But I know I'm wrong now.

You don't like walnuts?

Why didn't you tell me?

I did everything for you.

I did it all for your sake.

Have I not done everything for you?

Mom!

Mom, doing this

makes you the same as Li Tian's mother.

Song Cong.

You want to quit.

Hao Mei!

Fine.

Get rid of these.

Mom!

Save us some space.

You don't need these! What is that for?

Calm down.

Move aside!

Hao Mei!

Just calm down.

Hold on.

Did I hear it right?

Where are you going?

I said

I'm joining the regular class.

I told them about it.

Wait, have you lost your mind?

Why would you want to be regular?

I wanted

to talk it out with them.

I wanted to go to the Medical School

of Yenching University.

But if I told them that...

It's best not to tell them now.

My goodness.

You have a bigger

and more devastating revelation.

Wait.

I think

you mustn't tell them
about the medical school.

Your Mom always says she doesn't

want you to have a tough life

like your Dad

who's barely at home.

And the class transfer.

Forget it.

We all know how thrilled your mom was

when you got the spot.

Not just her, even I am worried about you.

You asked me

how I can be happy.

The answer is to get transferred.

I never thought your words

could carry such weight.

Impressive.

Me?

Yeah, it's you.

But...

How about this?

Be my witness.

I tried talking him out of this.

Right?

Fine.

In that case,

I welcome you to the club

without any parental support
but staying true to their hearts.

We've waited for you

for too long.

Wait a second.

Song,

are you really going against
your own parents?

Yeah.

We're the masters of our lives.

We can't let our parents decide for us.

Xichi is right.

Huan'er.

You must have your own ambition.

Me?

I haven't even decided if I should
be in the art or science stream.

My dad asked me to have dinner
at the noodle shop.

We didn't get to eat anything just now.

Aunt Hao must be fuming.

She didn't make you dinner. Go on.

See you around.

A stalemate with parents

can't go on forever.

Indeed.

We need a plan.

But you said...

He was so upset.

I had to say things that would

please him.

You have a point.

If the stalemate gets worse,

he's never getting transferred.

We need a plan now.

We need to de-escalate the situation.

Since Aunt Hao

is impossible to convince,

we can take a detour.

I'll try my luck with Mr. Song.

Talk to Song when you have the time.

Me?

It won't work.

You must try.

You're the cause of this mess.

Me?

You heard him.

You somehow inspired him,

even if it may not be the intention.

Therefore,

Comrade Huan'er,

you must complete the mission

of assisting Comrade Song Cong.

Thank you.

The family

will fall apart without me.

What now?

(New TOEFL Vocabulary)

(Outpatient Department)

Come in.

Xichi?

Mr. Song.

Are you busy now?

No.

I came to have a little chat.

About your leg?

Not, not about that.

Here's the story, Mr. Song.

My teammate

injured his leg.

His mom told him

to stop playing football.

But his dad?

A different story.

His dad thinks

that kid's happiness

should come first.

Don't you agree

with that?

First, I need to know the specifics
of his injury.

Mr. Song!

That is not the point.

The point is that he had a fight
with his own parents.

I can't help

but feel pity.

My dad

has always supported my dream.

I thought to myself,

"If his family is just as difficult,

kids like us can bid our happiness

farewell."

You too,

Mr. Song.

You'd always upheld

your dream as a doctor

to have the accomplishments
you have today.

Right?

Speaking of that,

I have questions for you too.

Shoot.

Have you gone to

Mr. Zheng for acupuncture?

No.

Nope.

We were roommates back in university.

He told me everything about your situation.

Heed my advice.

Be more careful with your old injury

unless you want to suffer.

Come to me from now on.

You'd go somewhere else

instead of the hospital?

What now?

Do you want people to think
I'm not as skilled?

No.

It's not what I meant.

Since you're here,

get an X-ray.

Mr. Song.

My mom must never find out.

Just go.

Thanks, Mr. Song.

Coming.

Song.

Huan'er?

I brought you the books.

You had dinner?

I was going to ask you out
for dinner later.

Well,

join me.

Okay.

You're a food expert.

You even have a set of tools.

Practice makes perfect.

My mom does this for me.

Song,

Aunt Hao has

done so much for you.

I know

you care about Aunt Hao.

As your friend,

you have my full support in transferring

to a regular class.

But to truly resolve this situation,

you must communicate with your parents.

Right?

I understand the logic.

But my mom is...

Anyway,

I'll think about it.

At least wait

until she's calmed down.

Okay.

As long as you talk to her.

If you need any help,

feel free to ask.

Jing Xichi and I will come
to your rescue.

Nothing can stop the two of us.

Hello, Aunt Lin.

Yeah.

We were in the tuition class just now.

Xichi should be home soon.

Alright.

Sure.

Bye, Aunt Lin.

A genius indeed.

Even your lie is genius.

Is Jing Xichi playing football again?

Definitely.

He does extra training every weekend.

If his mom ever finds out,

he's in for some pain.

But why is Aunt Lin

against him going professional?

Because it's tough.

Everyone wants to get into
the top schools.

But the thing is,

going professional

is so many times harder.

Not to mention

he was injured before.

In his own words,

"If you love something,

you'll allow it to hurt you

and never regret it."

It's hard to believe

he'd actually say that.

He is not as worthless as you think.

Sometimes, I think his mind
is more brilliant than mine.

I only do things I know I can manage.

However,

when I saw how Xichi told his dad

he wanted to go professional...

Come on, give me another chance.

Just one more time.

Let me show you.

- (He inspired me.)
- Just let me show you.

It was because of him.

Curse you, Jing Xichi.
You tricked me again.

What was that?

It's nothing.

I just think that you are

both so unusual.

You grew up knowing

what you like.

You know what you want.

Everything goes smoothly.

But not me.

I am always studying without a goal.

I'm so silly.

Sign up for some talent courses.

It's not too late to start.

Talent courses?

Yeah.

If you're afraid of strangers,

I can go with you.

Never mind.

My problem is nothing compared to yours.

I can handle it.

Thanks.

Talent courses?

I do envy you sometimes.

Did you just say...

Nothing.

Have some crabs.

You too.

Alright.

Calm down.

Song Cong must be starving.

You can't

starve your own kid.

I don't care.

You should listen to
what he said that night.

After everything I did for him,

he thinks I am wrong.

Do you remember

when he was born?

His dad left to study in Germany.

I had to raise the kid alone.

Did I leave my job
at the provincial hospital for nothing?

Alright.

I left the job

to look after Song Cong.

At the time,

I knew his career

was starting to take off.

I said, "It's alright,
I can make the sacrifice."

"I can give this family everything."

Guess what?

The old man

spent every day in the hospital

and barely came home.

Seriously?

As a man,

he always avoids getting involved
in any problems.

When things get serious,

he never

takes a firm stance.

Yes,

I can totally relate to that.

Over the years,
you've been the one taking care

of the family.

You made the most sacrifices.

You know,

may I interject?

Can we

not talk about sacrifices?

We did it for the kids

because we chose it.

We did it because we wanted to.

That is not sacrifice.

You're here for a free meal.

You talk too much. Just eat your food.

Fine. Chen Lei,

long time no see.

Take a mantou.

Shut your trap.

Whose side are you on?

Yeah.

Calm down.

Let's not talk about sacrifices.

Anyway,

Hao Mei, listen to me.

Since the father and his son
won't appreciate your efforts,

we might as well

cut the losses.

Is that okay?

Just like me. I'm not sacrificing anything.

I want to live my own life
and realize my worth.

Yeah.

Everything you say here

is pointless.

If you ask me, you've expected
too much from Song Cong.

He can't take it anymore.

You should pay more attention.

Quiet down.

It may sound harsh,

but it's for your own good.

Honestly,

you want Song Cong to be
in the international class.

Is that it?

The class?

Who told you that?

I never said that.

Unless some parents I know,

I fully respect my son's decision.

There's nothing wrong with Song Cong.

His only outstanding trait
is being too smart.

He can be in any class he wants.

He is free to be in the regular class.

As long as he wants it,

I don't mind.

See you.

International class?

Come now.

Eat up.

Busybody.

Dad.

Why are you making dinner?

Where is Mom?

When you go to school tomorrow,

finish the transfer paperwork.

I called your homeroom teacher.

What's wrong?

I'm your parent too.

I have the authority too.

Are you saying you're willing

to go against Mom

for my sake?

No way.

Actually,

you should thank Li Tian's mother.

Move aside.

Are you cooking or operating?

Stop it if you don't want to cook.

Go and do your stitches instead.

Well...

Mom.

I brought the books back.

And...

Dad says...

Yes.

Your dad

is finally acting like a good father.

He made the decision.

I didn't.

I wouldn't dare.

I don't get it.

If you want to get transferred,

why did you win first place

in the contest?

You wasted a spot.

Well...

Mr. Fu challenged me.

I had to clap back at him.

Besides,

the questions of the contest

were more interesting
than my usual exercises.

I can totally relate to that.

Solving questions is sometimes

about the thrill.

It's hard to hold the thrill back.

You just might get a perfect score.

Sometimes, when I am

giving my patients stitches,

I wonder

how I manage to do it so neatly

and so firmly.

I'd love to give them more...

Your mom is mad.

This is going to take a while.

Go to the regular class tomorrow.

But Dad...

Let's listen to Mom on this.

You fool.

Would I make this decision

without her permission,

given how serious this is?

Actually,

I was a brave young man.

But now...

This is why I support your decision.

Cherish your single life

and the freedom you have now.

Up ahead!

Come, center!

Intercept!

Keep an eye on them!

Pass it here!

Over here!

Jing Xichi!

Come here.

Watch them.

Pass it to me.

Why are you here?

Why isn't your dear Song with you?

He is not my dear Song.

He wanted to get transferred

because of what you said.

Drop the act.

I came to tell you

he didn't make the decision
because of me.

He made up his mind after
seeing the effort you put into football.

No wonder.

After all,

I am destined to be a spiritual leader.

You can become determined

over something I said.

I can guarantee your success.

What guarantee?

Is Song Cong really transferring?

Aunt Hao has a soft heart after all.

Dad.

When I went to
Song Cong's house for dinner,

I was worried about him.

I thought he was

going to starve forever.

My precious girl has been
going through a lot of advertisements.

I'll leave in a few days.

Who knows

when I'll be back?

Don't you want to

see me more often?

Yeah. I'm seeing you
with my eyes wide open.

Fine.

Not yet.

Okay, you can stop now.

You're scaring me.

Cut it out.

More!

Read your advertisements.

Nope.

I'll seal away this evil spirit!

We ran out of oranges.

I'll go and get some.

Okay.

What is this?

Wilderness survival?

Haven't decided on anything yet?

Nope.

Your grandpa didn't even take this long

to pick a son-in-law.

I want to try something new.

I have to pick the right one.

I'll take my time.

Give me a break.

Are you trying to catch up to Song Cong

after seeing

how ambitious he was?

I bet you won't get it.

Jing Xichi is quite ambitious too.

(He's not as worthless as you think.)

Chen Huan'er, hurry up!

- I have a match to watch tonight!
- Coming.

- At this rate, I'll miss the match!
- Wait for me.

Hurry up.

What is taking you so long?

Come on. It's taking forever
to tie your shoelaces.

- It's done. Let's go.
- I'm going to miss the match. Hurry up!

You don't have to wait for me anymore.

But I have to put the books somewhere.

Go!

Let's go!

We have a match!

Let's watch the match!

Quick!

Song Cong?

Song Cong?

We're in the same class again.

And you're still the class monitor.

By the way,

I need to ask.

Did you get transferred

to see our small-town girl?

Liao Xinyan.

As the class monitor,

you shouldn't be spreading rumors.

I think

Song came to our class

for his buddy, me.

Right? Come with me.

That's what they do in dramas!

Take the seat inside.

Wait.

Why are you sitting here?

I discussed it with Song.

He sits next to me from now on.

Sports representative,

We must register for the sports day.

The deadline is near.

Ask me if you need help.

This is nothing.

I can handle it in no time.

Alright, good luck.

Signing up?

What is it?

Sports day.

Not joining.

Come on.

Ladies.

My goddesses.

Just sign up for one or two

of the races.

Otherwise, we are

as good as forfeiting.

We'd love to help,

but this is beyond us.

Jing.

Find someone else. I'll sign up next time.

Could you reconsider?

Look.

I'll do it.

Great.

I'll sign up for the hammer throw.

That is only five points.

A race gets you ten points.

Please reconsider!

First place.

Ten points.

Stop wasting your time.

Your class isn't

going to win anything.

Look who we have here. It's Qin Liang.

Are you itching to get destroyed

after so long?

There goes your bad habit.
Can you even join the sports day?

What?

- Do you want a match?
- I don't pick on the disadvantaged.

The match would be pointless.

Let's make it class versus class.

Think it through.

Don't cry when you lose.

Jing Xichi, spare me the bluff.

Your class of nerds

will be crushed

by the sports class.

Fine.

Let's make a deal.

When you get crushed by our class,

you must call me

Big Boss Chi.

Fine.

Watch the ball.

No one for the 1,500-meter sprint.

Chen Huan'er.

Would you like to join

the 1,500-meter sprint?

No.

I only jog at night

as exercise.

I can't handle

the sprint race.

Chen Huan'er!

Chen Huan'er, give it a shot!

You won't know

until you try.

Forget it.

Why does it have to be her?

It's the athletes from Class 6.

They are short-sprinters
and high jumpers.

We are no match for them

in terms of raw power.

We can only focus on sports

that rely on stamina

and no one cares about.

I asked everyone.

No one could do

the 1,500-meter sprint.

But it gives a lot of points.

We can't lose.

You mean you can't lose.

Miss Huan'er.

Please sign up.

No, thanks.

Come on.

Miss Huan'er!

I asked Aunt Hao to...

No!

I'm not eating it!

Try it out!

If you like it,

sign up for the race!

You say it stinks!

(Run, blossom of the sky!)

(Chen Huan'er's English Book)

Chen Huan'er!

Please.

Jing Xichi!

Can you solve this?

No.

Miss Huan'er!

Join the race.

Join the race!

Don't be a creep!

Jing.

It's me.

Cursed brat.

I was surprised.

You're scared of Mom too?

She has no power over me.

Who is the family head?

Yeah.

You are taking great risks

coming here.

Mr. Song

came to our place.

The check-up results

are here.

Your Mom

doesn't want you
to play football again.

But me?

I saved your neck.

Mr. Song!

He betrayed me!

Son,

be honest.

Is your leg not feeling well lately?

No.

I swear, Dad.

I mean it. See? It's fine.

Don't believe me?

In that case, let do

a half-field game.

Cursed brat.

I'm not afraid of you!

Come on, Mr. Jing!

(Image and Data)

From Mr. Song.

Look at this boy.

Aunt Hao.

Aunt Lin.

Finished your study?

As you know,

Xichi suffered

a knee injury in the past.

The doctor asked him to take a break.

He wouldn't listen.

When he's in pain,

he secretly gets acupuncture.

Song found out.

So, he sent me the files.

This is not good.

Song told me

he needed to take a break.

Otherwise, there could be
lingering ailments.

I've always thought

going professional

isn't going to be easy.

He should

just study like the others.
Wouldn't that be great?

You know,

his father went through the same thing.

When he was young,

he was one of the best
in the city's football team.

In the end,

he was never chosen
by a professional team.

I thought he'd give up

because he couldn't get into

a sports school.

But guess what?

The boy was too stubborn to give up.

I'm always worried

he might get injured again.

Huan'er.

Isn't the school's sports day
around the corner?

Yeah, it is.

Huan'er.

Listen up.

Don't be a busybody and sign up.

I want you to sit there

in the audience.

Is that clear?

Yes.

I have studying to do.

Go on.

How is her health?

Not bad.

It's nice to have a daughter.

♪To rest upon your left shoulder bright♪

♪I still hear your promise in my ears♪

♪Before we said goodbye,
your spirit free♪

♪And full of life♪

♪If summer could last a little longer♪

♪Would regrets rewrite
where we'd gone wrong?♪

♪And let me be there with you
at the end of the story♪

♪Watching your silhouette from behind♪

♪My footsteps slow, we were too young♪

♪To know right from wrong♪

♪Your sweat-kissed face
I hold in my memory♪

♪Glows as bright as ever♪

♪I hope one day we'll meet again♪

♪At just the right time♪
