00:00:00We are now boarding
00:00:30We are boarding for flight CMT215, departing at 11.45. All passengers, please proceed to the gate. Again, flight CMT215, departing at 11.45.
00:01:00Hunger gnaws at the heart.
00:01:06Downpours like these are rare in Beijing. The subways swallow the people up by drinking cold soup, then mechanically spits them back out.
00:01:14The unfeeling city seems to wipe every face in it blank. I bet I'm no exception.
00:01:25Caught in the grind of day after repetitive day, you can count up all the things you once loved, all the things you treasured, and still feel like you've lost something.
00:01:33Your tongue goes numb. Little by little, it forgets the sensations of your hometown. That flavor I lost now seems to haunt me.
00:01:45The memories I thought I treasured, where have they gone?
00:01:50The memories I think are gonna beECT.
00:02:05Every time that season rolls around, I find myself remembering the rice noodles I ate back in my hometown.
00:02:30Of those, the flavor that most invigorates me is rice noodles with seasonal ingredients on top, Sanxian noodles.
00:02:53For most people in Hunan Province, the day begins with a bowl of steaming rice noodles.
00:03:01It leaves your whole face sweating as you drink it all down.
00:03:08Here, two bowls. Thank you very much.
00:03:12Some of my first memories are of a rice noodles shop that didn't even have a sign out front.
00:03:18Thank you. You too.
00:03:27Ming, dear.
00:03:29Grandma!
00:03:30Grandma!
00:03:37The rice noodles they sold were handmade, translucent, and as beautiful as they were delicious.
00:03:44They were just a little chewy, so you had to take your time with them.
00:03:47It was like they were telling you to start your day nice and slow.
00:03:50This was my grandma's and my time.
00:03:55Since both of my parents worked, my mornings were always just me, her, and a bowl of noodles.
00:04:01The noodles we ate were always Sanxian noodles, and I was absolutely crazy for them.
00:04:07The mushrooms were always strong and fresh. The kikurage with its firm texture. Each added their own unique layer to the thick broth that cradled them, creating a flavor that made my heart soar.
00:04:24My, my!
00:04:25The hot steam against my skin. The aroma of the soup in my nose. The sound of the two of us slurping away.
00:04:38I can't tell you how much I love those moments.
00:04:44There was even more to it that made it delicious.
00:04:47The meat and shiitake minced over and over.
00:04:49The fried egg, soft and fluffy, that made the noodles seem even richer as they slid down your throat.
00:04:56That light, amber soup that brought out the flavor of every ingredient.
00:05:02While some restaurants use MSG to enhance the taste of their dishes.
00:05:06The husband and wife who ran this one used old-fashioned elbow grease in order to craft the very best rice noodles they could.
00:05:13Eat as much as you want. Would you like me to get you another bowl?
00:05:26I didn't know this until later, but the man who owned that shop had once been a personal chef in Beijing.
00:05:32He was said to be the best cook in all of Hunan province.
00:05:37Apparently, sometime before I was born, he decided to go independent, move to this area, and opened a rice noodle shop.
00:05:45The Sanxian noodles were the only dish he made, and he'd been doing it for over 20 years.
00:05:51Those handmade noodles, never changing. That soup, always the same.
00:05:58They didn't talk much, but their small kitchen produced a dish that everyone loved.
00:06:04Their rice noodles were so good, people would wake up early and come from far away to eat them.
00:06:10Those people didn't always get there in time.
00:06:11I was lucky enough to live very close by, which meant that I got to eat their delicious noodles every single day.
00:06:22My grandma always said,
00:06:24If you find joy in eating, then you will always be blessed by delicious food.
00:06:29One day, out of nowhere, the cook and his wife quit the business and disappeared.
00:06:54Rumors started to circulate. Others resented their success and drove them out.
00:06:59Another popular theory was that his old employer had called them back to Beijing.
00:07:07But I bet wherever they ended up, it was a place full of people who loved to eat delicious food.
00:07:14I can only hope their rice noodles would make those people as happy as they made me.
00:07:20You made me.
00:07:21You made me.
00:07:22Tomorrow is a place to me.
00:07:23You made me.
00:07:24You made me feel like I was hungry old.
00:07:25You made to eat 부탁
00:07:45The noodles sold at the shop near the school were machine-made.
00:07:54There was nothing special about the texture, but they were packed with piping hot, fresh ingredients.
00:08:02The savoriness of the stir-fried vegetables coated the blank canvas of the noodles and infused the broth.
00:08:09It wasn't the same as the place where my grandma and I used to eat, but I still liked it a lot.
00:08:17Excuse me, do you go to Fourth Academy's middle school?
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:21My son's also a student there. He's a third year in the high school.
00:08:27Oh, honey, have a good day at work.
00:08:30Uh-huh.
00:08:30After my son goes to college and gets a job, maybe I can finally say goodbye to this exhausting business, too.
00:08:40But in the meantime, you're a growing boy, so eat all you can and be sure to study hard.
00:08:47Oh, thank you very much.
00:09:00The girl I secretly liked was one year older than me, and every morning she would take this road to get to school.
00:09:10Her hair would shine chestnut in the warm morning light.
00:09:15Blowing in the wind, I could have gazed at it forever.
00:09:22Half of the reason that I always chose to eat at that shop every morning was so that I could watch her ride by.
00:09:28Seeing her every day was the joy of my life.
00:09:34It was a dream, and although I couldn't tell you why, I was sure that it would go on forever.
00:09:42But then, that autumn...
00:09:46Huh?
00:09:51So this here is the new layout.
00:09:53The rice noodle shop changed into something else.
00:09:56It's absolutely fine.
00:09:58Her husband had found a new calling in life and convinced her to go along with it.
00:10:01So the rice noodle shop became a fishing shop.
00:10:06And just like that, my happy mornings were gone.
00:10:10No more rice noodles.
00:10:11No more gazing at the girl I admired.
00:10:15As for the fishing shop itself,
00:10:18it was apparently a flop.
00:10:20You cocky piece of shit!
00:10:28You annoy the hell out of me!
00:10:29Something's going on there!
00:10:30This is what you get from running your mouth!
00:10:32Stop!
00:10:32Stop!
00:10:33Stop!
00:10:33Come on, let's get out of here!
00:10:36Someone call the teacher!
00:10:38He's waiting!
00:10:40He's waiting!
00:10:41Hey, someone call the teachers now!
00:10:43What's going on here?
00:10:49What happened?
00:10:50Hey, hey!
00:10:51Is he okay?
00:10:52Is he okay?
00:10:52Is he okay?
00:10:56This is your fault!
00:10:57It's all your fault because you never have time to talk to him!
00:11:01The injured student was the son of the woman who ran that rice noodle shop.
00:11:08I don't know what started the fight,
00:11:12but the fishing shop closed down not long after.
00:11:25Then, in the third year of middle school,
00:11:27the rice noodle shop came back,
00:11:29looking just like it had before.
00:11:31But something was different this time.
00:11:34There you go.
00:11:34The woman's husband was now helping out.
00:11:36As was another person.
00:11:40Thank you very much for coming!
00:11:43My mornings were back,
00:11:44and things seemed like they should be happier than ever.
00:11:47But...
00:11:48The girl of my dreams
00:11:54had graduated middle school a little while ago
00:11:57and gone to a high school far away.
00:12:00My mornings were gray and melancholy.
00:12:02I had lost my first love.
00:12:06When I was little, I would wake up to the smell of rice noodles.
00:12:19The time I spent having breakfast with my grandma,
00:12:22and then in school,
00:12:24my morning spent happily watching her.
00:12:26Now, I'm all alone.
00:12:34I'll have one order of sunshine noodles, please.
00:12:36Sure.
00:12:37Number 12?
00:12:50Your order of suns and noodles is ready.
00:13:06The uniform noodles were made by machine.
00:13:12They're shaped far too perfect.
00:13:15The broth is fine.
00:13:16Chinese style and tasty enough.
00:13:18But the amount of toppings keeps going down.
00:13:21While the price keeps going up.
00:13:25When I was young, I loved sunshine noodles.
00:13:27But they just don't taste like they used to.
00:13:29Hello, Dad?
00:13:40What is it?
00:13:42What?
00:13:43It was a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Beijing.
00:13:53I'd always told myself it was an easy trip back.
00:13:57But it suddenly felt like home was impossibly far away.
00:14:01Even the shining city below
00:14:02seemed to move with a frustrating lack of urgency.
00:14:06Oh, my God.
00:14:20See you next time.
00:14:23Goodbye.
00:14:23Babe?
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:29Goodbye.
00:14:29Goodbye.
00:14:30Goodbye.
00:14:32Goodbye.
00:14:34Goodbye.
00:14:35Oh, my dear Mane, I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to eat rice noodles with you anymore.
00:15:02That's not true, Grandma. We can still eat them together any time you want to.
00:15:16Grandma, can you...
00:15:19Grandma.
00:15:21Grandma.
00:15:22Grandma.
00:15:23Grandma.
00:15:24Grandma.
00:15:38The morning sun unraveled a spirit, which the night before had tightly wound.
00:16:04And I was somehow sure that this memory too, although heart-wrenching, would be comforted by the passage of time.
00:16:14Some things don't change, some things do.
00:16:17Hello, what can I get for you?
00:16:20One bowl of sunshine noodles, please.
00:16:22You got it.
00:16:24Maybe the warmth I'd lost touch with yesterday is still out there.
00:16:28Maybe it's what's giving today its color.
00:16:34Those days are far behind me now, but looking back on the tracks I left might help to guide the person I've become.
00:16:46I'll keep it all there in the back of my mind as I continue on through the seasons.
00:16:51It was a pale, gray, and melancholy morning, but a morning I spent bathed in light.
00:17:01Well, here you go.
00:17:21I've always loved pretty clothes, ever since I was a little girl.
00:17:35Wearing an outfit that I love would put me in a good mood all day long.
00:17:39Made me feel invincible.
00:17:42I loved picking out clothing for my little sister, too.
00:17:45Once my sister got old enough to wear my hand-me-downs, she would let me dress her up like a doll.
00:17:53But then I kept getting taller and taller.
00:17:56And soon, I got too tall for my clothes to fit her.
00:18:03I used to absolutely hate being tall.
00:18:06It made me stand out in the crowd, and I was always hitting my head.
00:18:09But now, I'm grateful to my parents for my height.
00:18:16Since I don't really have any talents, I never would have gotten my job.
00:18:20If not for the height I inherited from them.
00:18:23I really hate that they both died.
00:18:26Before I had the chance to tell them that.
00:18:30I never realize what's really important to me.
00:18:35Until after I've lost it.
00:18:36Everything's always changing so fast.
00:18:43Fashion trends.
00:18:45Movement patterns.
00:18:47And models, too.
00:18:51And I know.
00:18:53I won't be able to do this job forever.
00:18:57But I want to keep shining for just a little while longer.
00:19:02For the only family I have left.
00:19:04My little sister.
00:19:06Yilin.
00:19:23Great job today.
00:19:28You too.
00:19:29There we go.
00:19:40Thank you so much.
00:19:42No problem. Bye-bye.
00:19:45Don't do that. You know I can't afford you getting hurt.
00:19:49Yeah, but those clothes are valuable.
00:19:52Okay, but still.
00:19:54Oh.
00:20:24Here you are, standing in a place that millions of girls aspire to.
00:20:28And that dreary clinical vista is the only thing you see.
00:20:32Nothing else.
00:20:36I can't seem to think of anything else at the moment.
00:20:40Sorry, it was a weird question.
00:20:42Anyway, nice work at the shoot earlier.
00:20:44Sure.
00:20:47Hey, you know he's the new chief editor, right?
00:20:50You really need to try and impress him.
00:20:52Huh?
00:20:54Thank you, everyone.
00:20:56How many years have you been in this business?
00:20:58You could at least sound like you're interested.
00:21:00You know, I'm more of an action over words kind of girl.
00:21:10You in your mouth.
00:21:11Okay, we got the all-clear sign.
00:21:14We're finished now.
00:21:16Great work, everybody.
00:21:17I made you a big cake.
00:21:28Well, maybe she's just really busy.
00:21:33Yeah, you know, the other day I was...
00:21:38Missy Lynn!
00:21:39Happy birthday!
00:21:42Happy birthday, Missy Lynn!
00:21:43Happy birthday!
00:21:45Thank you!
00:21:45Oh!
00:21:47Oh, my gosh!
00:21:48Ah!
00:21:49Hey, she did it!
00:21:50Oh, so cute!
00:21:52Okay, she's got it again.
00:21:52Hey, she's got it again.
00:22:22Missy Lynn!
00:22:31Happy birthday!
00:22:33You came, too!
00:22:35Your manager mentioned it to me.
00:22:38I wanted to see the shoot, but I was so busy.
00:22:42Can you stay long?
00:22:43Sorry.
00:22:44I need to get back to work.
00:22:47Of course.
00:22:48Well, I'm glad that you came.
00:22:51Missy Lynn!
00:22:52Huh?
00:22:52Um, hi.
00:22:54I'm Shijing.
00:22:55We share an agent.
00:22:57Can I say I really admired you for so long?
00:23:00Really?
00:23:00You're really popular at my school, too.
00:23:04Everyone imitates you.
00:23:05That's so sweet.
00:23:07You're still in school, but you're so mature.
00:23:09Thanks!
00:23:11Oh.
00:23:12You have a bright future to the new generation.
00:23:16Thank you very much.
00:23:19So, Missy Lynn, I'd really appreciate any advice that you might be able to give me about having a career in this business.
00:23:27Advice?
00:23:27I don't know what to say.
00:23:29Oh, please.
00:23:31Why not help the kid?
00:23:32It's clear she looks up to you.
00:23:34Well, I...
00:23:35Shijing, dear!
00:23:36Over here!
00:23:37Hey!
00:23:38Gotta go.
00:23:39Talk soon.
00:23:40But I didn't say anything.
00:23:44She is great.
00:23:46Charming.
00:23:47Oh?
00:23:48Hey, if you thought you could stay on top forever, you were gravely mistaken, Yelin.
00:23:53What do you mean by that?
00:23:55I think I'm gonna go mingle, okay?
00:24:01Forget him.
00:24:02Shut up.
00:24:03How could he do this to me on my birthday?
00:24:09Maybe you should be more careful how you choose your men.
00:24:13Shut up.
00:24:14Every single time.
00:24:25Hello, Lulu.
00:24:26How are you?
00:24:29I'm sorry you have to do this again.
00:24:32Oh, no worries.
00:24:33It's my job anyway.
00:24:35That's why you should have invited Lulu.
00:24:39No way.
00:24:39You know that crowds make me really anxious.
00:24:42You'll never meet a man that way.
00:24:45You hardly have the high ground there.
00:24:52So good!
00:24:55Did you make it yourself, Lulu?
00:25:00Oh, it really is good.
00:25:02My Lulu is so talented.
00:25:05She can do anything you ask her to.
00:25:07Well, that's hardly true.
00:25:09You hungry?
00:25:10I guess you ate already.
00:25:12I'm sorry.
00:25:14But it's fine.
00:25:17Steve will eat for me.
00:25:19Oh, will I now?
00:25:22I love home.
00:25:25Lulu's there.
00:25:27Well, good night.
00:25:29Come on.
00:25:30That's so irresponsible.
00:25:31I'd love to let the folks at work see her like this.
00:25:45I'm so sorry.
00:25:47You really prepared a feast, huh?
00:25:49Oh, it's okay.
00:25:51It wasn't that much.
00:25:52You don't think this is all that much?
00:25:54Yeah, I owe everything to my sister, after all.
00:26:00If she hadn't taken me in like she did, then there's no way I would have ever been able to go to school.
00:26:05I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:26:21Big sister?
00:26:22It's so good to see you again, Lulu.
00:26:25From now on, we'll always be together.
00:26:27Let's get something to eat.
00:26:31There's a lot of great places to choose from here.
00:26:34Even back then, she was so pretty.
00:26:38She was radiant.
00:26:40It's like we were from two different planets.
00:26:42And now, she looks like a sea lion.
00:26:49Steve.
00:26:51Don't you hit on Lulu.
00:26:54No offense, honey.
00:26:55You're not my type.
00:26:59Well now, since that's cleared up, I should get going.
00:27:04Ye Lin, you have an audition tomorrow.
00:27:07Don't be late.
00:27:10Yeah, yeah.
00:27:12Big sister.
00:27:20Big sister.
00:27:21It's morning.
00:27:22Wake up.
00:27:28Lulu.
00:27:29Morning.
00:27:31I have to get going to school now.
00:27:33You okay?
00:27:34I'll be fine.
00:27:36Go on.
00:27:36Just five more minutes.
00:27:49Oh, no, no.
00:27:53Oh, no.
00:27:54Oh, no.
00:27:57We're so late.
00:27:58What were you doing?
00:28:01I overslept, okay?

00:45:46don't open the window the wind
00:45:48hey you can see the she comes from here huh cool
00:45:50I guess they left a couple of them around, huh?
00:45:55Your grandma still lives over there, right?
00:45:58Man, when we were kids, remember how the sheetkomen seemed huge, like a giant maze?
00:46:04But looking at it from here, I guess it's pretty small.
00:46:07Hey, how about you stop reminiscing and give me a hand here?
00:46:14These old papers. Is this stuff from back when I was taking my high school entrance exams?
00:46:20Huh.
00:46:36Hey, that must be the old cassette tape Xiaoyu gave me. Still haven't, huh?
00:46:40What do you mean she gave it to you? What is it doing in this box?
00:46:44It was right before high school entrance exams when you were all shut in and studying like crazy.
00:46:49I guess Xiaoyu didn't want to feel like she was bothering you, so she just left it with me.
00:46:52But I felt a little awkward giving it to you, too.
00:46:55So I asked her mom instead.
00:46:59You didn't know about it?
00:47:01Pam, do you have a tape player?
00:47:03Why the hell would I have one?
00:47:05You do remember what year it is, right?
00:47:12That's it. It's still there.
00:47:15Hey, where are you going?
00:47:17What about all the rest of your stuff, man?
00:47:19Is there really more?
00:47:26So, let me hear it.
00:47:28The love that I lost, the dream that failed.
00:47:31That time, years ago, when the world was ours.
00:47:35I want another taste of what could have been.
00:47:38So please, just let me hear something other than goodbye.
00:47:41Because without you, I don't think my heart will ever stop aching.
00:47:46There's some construction going on, so watch your feet.
00:48:12Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:48:13Hello, sir. How are your new reading glasses?
00:48:18Oh, is that you, Xiaoyu?
00:48:20They're very good.
00:48:21Reading a newspaper has gotten so much easier.
00:48:24I'm glad to hear it.
00:48:26Ma'am, I got some more flower seeds for us to plant.
00:48:30I'll bring them with me next time.
00:48:33Pan, yeah, I think we should listen to Xiaoyu's tape first.
00:48:36Come on, man, light it up.
00:48:37There's no ladies' first rule among friends.
00:48:40Yeah, well...
00:48:41Come on, guys, give it a rest, okay?
00:48:44I just want to listen to music.
00:48:45I don't care whose it is.
00:48:47Hey, Xiaoyu, can I get one of those, please?
00:48:50Oh, yeah, that's fine.
00:48:52I always figured you like Limo.
00:48:55Dang, Pan, don't be so stupid.
00:48:58Uh-oh.
00:48:58Limo, did I strike a nerve there?
00:49:00Guess I called it right.
00:49:02Xiaoyu likes Limo, Xiaoyu likes Limo, Xiaoyu likes Limo.
00:49:08Everybody, listen.
00:49:10Shut the hell up before I punch you in the face.
00:49:13Oh, Pam's tape.
00:49:15Aw.
00:49:16Aw, damn it.
00:49:19Now it's ruined great.
00:49:21Guess it serves you right.
00:49:22What did you say?
00:49:24Calm down, both of you.
00:49:25We'll listen to mine.
00:49:26Oh.
00:49:27Let's do it.
00:49:57Oh, Xiaoyu, are you heading home already?
00:50:15Why don't you stay and join us for dinner?
00:50:18Thank you, I really appreciate the offer, sir.
00:50:20But I really ought to be getting home.
00:50:22I have to study for tomorrow's test.
00:50:24Ah, that Xiaoyu is such a nice girl.
00:50:30Maybe you should offer to walk her home.
00:50:33Grandpa, you know, you're starting to sound a lot like Pam.
00:50:36Ow!
00:50:37Huh?
00:50:39Xiaoyu!
00:50:46What do you think they're going to do with all this urban development?
00:50:49I don't know.
00:50:51Roads crack and they never fix them.
00:50:53And there's absolutely no maintenance.
00:50:55Yeah.
00:50:57You can put me down.
00:50:59I'll walk the rest of the way.
00:51:01Who was the one crying, ow, ow, when I tried to put you down before?
00:51:05Oh, yeah?
00:51:06Maybe I was worried about you being able to carry me the whole way.
00:51:09And I was just trying to give you a break.
00:51:11Okay, okay, sorry.
00:51:12Just cut it out, all right?
00:51:14It's dangerous.
00:51:15Hold on tight and stop struggling or you might fall.
00:51:17Okay.
00:51:18So, will you be okay tomorrow at school with your leg?
00:51:36Good question.
00:51:37If I don't go, do you think maybe you could record the class for me?
00:51:40You can just put it on this tape.
00:51:43Hey, while you're at it, maybe you could record a funny message or something on it too.
00:51:47Something I could listen to over and over again.
00:51:51Sure thing.
00:51:52If that'll make you smile, then I'd be glad to.
00:51:58I can't wait to hear it.
00:52:00But hey, limo, make sure you don't let it distract you from class.
00:52:04Ah, shut up.
00:52:11Whoa!
00:52:13Huh?
00:52:13Huh?
00:52:22Ah, limo.
00:52:27This is a recording of our class.
00:52:29Can you please give to Xiaoyu?
00:52:32Xiaoyu, you need for your leg to get better quickly so you can go back to school, okay?
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:37Okay.
00:52:37Xiaoyu, can you hear me?
00:52:54Look at line two of page six.
00:52:56Limo, what are you muttering about there?
00:52:59Would you like to explain to us all why you've brought a tape recorder into my classroom?
00:53:03If you'd like to sing, please stand up and be my guest.
00:53:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:53:08It's not that, sir.
00:53:09I'm...
00:53:10I'm...
00:53:11I...
00:53:11Oh, hey.
00:53:22Is your leg better already?
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25I'm sorry if I worried you.
00:53:27I recorded one for you too, so listen to it when you get home, okay?
00:53:30Okay.
00:53:37Hey, have you ever thought about the future?
00:53:54Where you'll be or what you'll be doing?
00:53:56Yeah, I have.
00:53:58I'm gonna build my own house.
00:54:00A house so big we can all live in it.
00:54:03Pan will get the first floor, I'll get the second, you can add the third.
00:54:06Then we can keep listening to music and stuff.
00:54:09Just like we do now.
00:54:10Does that sound okay?
00:54:12I never...
00:54:13I never really thought about my future.
00:54:16That's why I wanted to ask you what you thought.
00:54:19But yeah, that sounds nice.
00:54:22Xiaoyu, I never asked you, what's your favorite color?
00:54:26It's red, because it's nice and warm.
00:54:29What's your favorite flower?
00:54:31Sunflowers.
00:54:32Because they always face the sun.
00:54:35What about your favorite person?
00:54:42Limo, listen.
00:54:45I'm going to try to get into the affiliate high school for Yongpu University.
00:54:53Xiaoyu, are you really going to take the test for Yongpu affiliate?
00:54:56That's a smart kid's school.
00:54:58Why haven't you ever mentioned anything about this before?
00:55:00I mean...
00:55:02Well, it's an affiliate high school, so apparently you could advance right to Yongpu University.
00:55:07And my mother and father really want me to go there.
00:55:11Come on, just because they tell you to go there?
00:55:15But like, how are you going to get there?
00:55:17It's really far away.
00:55:19Well, I might have to move.
00:55:24Xiaoyu.
00:55:27What is it that you want to do?
00:55:30I don't...
00:55:31I don't want to move.
00:55:34But...
00:55:36So your parents get to choose your whole life for you, huh?
00:55:40Then do whatever you want.
00:55:41Hey, hey, Limo.
00:55:43We're not done talking yet.
00:55:44Limo, what's the matter?
00:55:58You haven't touched your food.
00:56:00Are you worried about something that happened at school?
00:56:03I know this is an important time for you.
00:56:05Here, have a little more meat.
00:56:07You could use the extra nutrition.
00:56:09Mother, don't baby him.
00:56:11It's not like any of the schools he's looking at have difficult exams.
00:56:15Speaking of, which high school is Xiaoyu going to try to get into?
00:56:19Yongpu affiliate.
00:56:21Ah, that's the Xiaoyu I know.
00:56:23I agree.
00:56:24I've always thought that Xiaoyu is an incredibly bright girl.
00:56:28You should learn from her example and show a little bit of ambition.
00:56:31I'm going to get into the Yongpu affiliate school, too.
00:56:35Oh?
00:56:36Really?
00:56:36Someone with Xiaoyu's grades I could understand, but I'm worried that you might have a hard time, son.
00:56:42That's true.
00:56:43Besides, what about the commute?
00:56:45That school is very far away.
00:56:47You aren't actually serious about this, right?
00:56:49You're just saying it.
00:56:51I'm serious.
00:56:52I'm getting into the Yongpu affiliate school, and then I'm going to Yongpu University.
00:56:55Well, if that's true, and you really mean what you're saying, then you have good timing.
00:57:02What do you mean, good timing?
00:57:03I mean, a friend of mine asked if I had any interest in his open apartment in Yongpu district.
00:57:09Since they might continue the demolitions here, it might be good timing for all of us to leave the Shikumen behind.
00:57:20Limo, if this is really what you want, you need to apply yourself.
00:57:24Don't have any regrets.
00:57:26Tidy up your room, and focus on your studies.
00:57:29You won't get in if you keep playing around like you've been doing.
00:57:37Here's your tape back.
00:57:39I don't have anything to record anymore.
00:57:41Good luck with all of your studies.
00:57:45Hey, Limo, what school are you going to try to get into?
00:57:50One that's nearby, the one everyone else is going to.
00:57:55Wait, are you really just not going to tell her?
00:58:15Yeah, so I'm not embarrassed if I fail.
00:58:18Listen, you rat me out, and our friendship is over.
00:58:23Okay, that's crazy.
00:58:25You've been acting pretty weird lately, you know.
00:58:27Did you only decide to do this because Xiao Yu was?
00:58:30It's just, it looks to me like you're pushing yourself trying to become the perfect guy just for her.
00:58:34It's not like that.
00:58:37I just want to try to prove to everybody else that I can do it.
00:58:41What?
00:58:41Huh?
00:58:41Wait, but that doesn't make...
00:58:43Hey!
00:58:44Wait up!
00:58:45You're going too fast!
00:58:46Limo, I know you're hard at work studying, but why don't you take a little break?
00:58:54Hmm.
00:58:55You don't want to work yourself too hard?
00:58:57Also, your grandfather and grandmother have decided to stay here, so if you get in, it will just be the three of us moving.
00:59:03Mm-hmm.
00:59:04Oh, also, Pan stopped by with this tape earlier.
00:59:08He said that he wants you to listen to it.
00:59:10I don't have time for that right now.
00:59:12Just toss it in that box.
00:59:15Hmm.
00:59:24Limo, is everything all right?
00:59:26You seem like you're in a rush.
00:59:29I need a tape player.
00:59:34I'm afraid I haven't been cooking very much, now that it's only me in the house.
00:59:40It's really fine, Grandma.
00:59:42Don't worry about it.
00:59:43But you're hungry, aren't you?
00:59:45Let me at least give you some cookies.
00:59:55This area is slated for demolition soon, isn't it?
00:59:58Have you talked to Mom and Dad about maybe moving in?
01:00:01Yes, they started tearing them down one by one and ordered down the avenue, but they stopped here.
01:00:08There's been no sign of the demolition starting again anytime soon, so I'm not really in any hurry to leave.
01:00:14Hey!
01:00:23Hey!
01:00:24Shiyu!
01:00:25Shiyu!
01:00:25You there?
01:00:27Will you quit carrying on like that?
01:00:29Shiyu's not home.
01:00:30I didn't get a minute's sleep last night because of all the noise over there, so please just give me a break.
01:00:35So wait, she's not home?
01:00:38What kind of noise was it?
01:00:40Ugh.
01:00:41Shiyu failed her high school entrance exam.
01:00:44Her father was furious with her, screaming his head off.
01:00:48I think he must have hit her, because I'm pretty sure she wound up in the hospital.
01:00:53The police even came.
01:00:54It was terrible.
01:00:55Moving day came.
01:01:09I still hadn't seen Shiyu.
01:01:12I was leaving my hometown, leaving Grandma and Grandpa in the Shikaman, and starting a new life in a city that I had never been to before.
01:01:19Shiyu, I thought we'd be going to that school together.
01:01:27How could things have turned out this way?
01:01:30No matter what I do, I can't get you out of my mind.
01:01:34Anytime I look at the sky just after the rain...
01:01:37Thank you, Shiyu. You are so helpful. Now come sit down and eat.
01:02:03Yes, ma'am.
01:02:04Xiaoyu, I can't believe how much you've grown up.
01:02:07It's been a while since the three of you were all together.
01:02:10Here, top me off.
01:02:11Sounds great.
01:02:13Hey, Lino, have a drink with me, man.
01:02:14Hey, you're still in high school.
01:02:16That's right. No drinking in the daytime.
01:02:22We had spent so much time together.
01:02:26But now, because we went to different schools, it was like we were from completely different worlds.
01:02:31We'd forgotten how to talk to each other.
01:02:34So, Lino, that's pretty cool that you have a CD player.
01:02:42Yep. Everyone's got them at school.
01:02:45The sound is way better than tapes.
01:02:47Oh, I bet. So I guess you probably don't listen to them anymore, huh?
01:02:52You did listen to that last tape, though, didn't you?
01:02:58I'm pretty embarrassed about it now, so I hope you'll throw it out.
01:03:02Huh? Tape? What tape?
01:03:04It's, uh...
01:03:09Um, don't worry about it.
01:03:11This is far enough.
01:03:23Huh?
01:03:24You can go back to everyone else now.
01:03:27I really don't mind. I'm happy to walk you home.
01:03:31I've been down this road a million times. I don't think I'm going to get lost.
01:03:36Yeah, I, uh, I guess not.
01:03:40Limo?
01:03:41Hmm?
01:03:42Is it true that you really chose that high school because I was going?
01:03:48Why would you say that? I did it because I wanted to lord it over my parents. It really had nothing to do with you.
01:03:56I see. Pan had mentioned something about how it might have been.
01:04:00Well, that's dumb. You really shouldn't listen to anything that that guy has to say.
01:04:06Yeah, right. I get it. Well, I guess I'd better go.
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:12Oh, man. We just missed seeing her off.
01:04:37Damn, when are we going to get moving again?
01:04:39That was really cold as Xiao Yu. If she was going to study in America, she could have at least said something to us.
01:04:47Is that really all our friendship mentor?
01:04:51Hey, driver, seriously? You think maybe you could put out that damn cigarette because it's smoky as hell back here?
01:05:05Hmm.
01:05:06Lemo, you shouldn't play in next week's basketball tournament.
01:05:32Your injury isn't healed yet, right? You could aggravate it.
01:05:37You had better listen to me this time or I'm going to tell your mother.
01:05:41Listen, I'm going to do whatever I want to do.
01:05:43What's wrong with that? Why should I always do what other people tell me?
01:05:48Right now, I want to believe in myself and follow my heart, even if that means being reckless.
01:05:52You said you like sunflowers, right Xiao Yu? I want to be like a sunflower. My face always turned towards the sun.
01:06:00That's why I'm not going to give up.
01:06:03I refuse to make excuses to my future self and then regret it.
01:06:08Well, if that's how you feel, don't erase this tape.
01:06:11We'll listen to it together when we've grown up.
01:06:15I think I realized something.
01:06:24I realized that I want to be like a sunflower too.
01:06:29I don't want to have regrets.
01:06:30So, I'm giving up on going to Yangpou's affiliate.
01:06:39Because, I don't want to be apart from you.
01:06:42I can't just rewind back to those days of our youth.
01:07:00This grinding, burning pain I've carried in my heart.
01:07:05I never knew that I had put you through the same thing.
01:07:07Why didn't I just listen to your voice when it was happening?
01:07:14But maybe, if we could just see each other again someday.
01:07:19Maybe we can pick up where we left off.
01:07:21And give our dream a second chance.
01:07:24I hope we do.
01:07:26I pray we do.
01:07:27I pray we do.
01:07:37Careful, folks.
01:07:56Watch your step.
01:07:57Shikuman architecture can be a little old-fashioned.
01:07:59So, the stairs are kind of narrow.
01:08:02Hey, Pan!
01:08:03You forgot to take the room key!
01:08:06Ah, okay.
01:08:07Oh, oh, hey!
01:08:10Welcome, ma'am!
01:08:11Do you have a reservation?
01:08:12Do you have a reservation?
01:08:37?
01:08:42I don't know.
01:08:42I don't know.

01:12:53Yesterday I was standing still.
01:12:56I'll keep that memory in my heart and start walking.
01:12:59And the sound of my footsteps will continue.
01:13:02Into tomorrow.
01:13:04Into tomorrow.
01:13:34Into tomorrow.
