Fine.
I’m the one to blame,
OK?
You did nothing wrong.
It’s all my fault.
What’s wrong with hating your own mom?
All you care about,
is your dad,
even your neighbor...
They love me!
Why don’t you?
Aunt.
Sorry
that you have to
see us fighting.
Thanks for coming by.
Don’t mention it. It’s all I should do.
Don’t be mad at your mom.
I’m really sorry.
Ling Xiao!

Don’t be upset.
People spew out all sorts of things
in rage.
I know.
But this time,
I really meant to redeem myself.
I know
I made tons of mistakes.
When he was little
and needed me the most,
I wasn’t there for him.
So now, I’m trying to spend more time with him.
I want to help him,
take care of him
and keep him company.
But I didn’t expect…
It’d be so hard!
All moms in the world
are the same.
However much you dislike
your son’s girlfriend,
at least,
you should seem nice.
They’ve only been together for a while.
Things between them are heating up.
I understand.
I’ve tried
but I just can’t grow fond of her.
That’s understandable.
Li Jianjian
is unlikeable.
She did nothing
to please you,
and she spoke ill of you
and provoked Ling Xiao to...
Once they
get married,
you’ll lose your son forever.
Mom.
Ms. Song.
Mingyue, what brings you here?
Your mom didn’t say anything.
I need her for something urgent.
Fine, just take your time.
I’ll eat alone.
OK.
See you.
Thank you, Ms. Song.
Mom!
How did you and Dad
end up like this?
Isn’t our divorce
good news
for both of you?
Enough, Mom!
Are you really
going to divorce Dad this Friday?
Isn’t that what you want?
You can go
wherever you fancy
without lying to me!
Mom, I’m sorry!
I really am!
Back in high school,
I was childish.
I regret it now.
I was mad at you
and didn’t get a good grade.
I could’ve
gone to a better college.
Mom, I failed you.
I was wrong.
Was it me that you failed?
You failed yourself!
Many would die
for a spot at a top university!
Why? Because they’re stupid?
If you could get into the top 2,
would I stop you from going?
I wish I could change it.
I’ve kept it
to myself for long.
But I don’t know how to say it.
If I could
go back,
I’d slap myself.
I can do it now!
I...
Mom!
Mom!
Don’t hurt yourself.
Don’t do this.
Why do you hate me?
Why are you doing this to me?
What on earth did I do wrong?
Tell me.
All these years,
my life revolves around you two.
How could you dump me
like a piece of trash?
Mom.
Just because I’m going to
work in Beijing for two years.
I didn’t listen to you.
So you hate me and you’re going to leave me?
Aren’t you going to Beijing
to run away from me?
You think I don’t know?
That was my intention.
But now,
I’m doing it for myself.
I want to be a reporter,
you know?
It’s my passion.
I want more than staying at a local station,
answering phone calls
and mediating in disputes.
I want to do news,
to report people’s livelihood,
to be a field reporter.
Mom, that’s my dream,
you know?
Now I see why you’re home
so early.
When your schoolmate
was at your studio,
he peeked at your design?
He heard
I opened my own business,
so he dropped by.
My sketchbook
was right on my table.
He picked it up and had a glance.
Who’d know he’d do that?
You said you got your inspiration
from a photo.
What photo?
Well,
back in high school,
Mingyue took a photo of us
on the playground.
Her mom bought her that camera.
Remember this?
Photo time!
Come on. One, two, three.
She developed the film
and gave us the photo.
Where is it?
When I did
that time capsule thing with my classmates,
I put it inside.
Where did you bury it?
Under a piece of open land,
but now...
It’s nowhere to be found.
Later in college,
I lost my laptop
with the soft copy.
When she had the photos,
she also gave you and Ziqiu
a copy each.
Where’s yours?
I forgot where I put it.
Let’s go ask Ziqiu.
He always takes good care of his stuff.
Now?
Let’s go get coffee
to cheer you up.
Come on.
Kiwi smoothie,
latte
and a fruit salad.
The fruit salad
is included in our sandwich combo.
Would you
like that combo?
Fine.
OK. One sandwich combo.
Cash or WeChat?
WeChat.
Scan the QR Code, please.

Ziqiu.
Kiwi smoothie
and latte.
Got it.
And one sandwich combo.
OK.
Welcome…
What are you doing here?
Shouldn’t you be at work?
I’ve changed my shift with a colleague.
You’re doing well,
kinda like the real deal.
You’re a big girl now.
Aren’t all waitresses like this?
Smile if you’re happy.
Stop playing cool.
Drinks?
What can you make?
I can work the juicer.
Fine, we’d like
two fresh orange juice.
You and your sister are quite alike.
Or would she be like you?
Cao, I’ve got family coming over.
Can you make coffee for me?
OK.
Have a seat.
When I first went abroad,
I stayed at Zhao Huaguang’s for months.
Then I left in a haste
and didn’t bring everything with me.
I’m not sure if he still keeps them.
Ziqiu.
Why don’t you call
and ask him?
Get back to work.
Ling Xiao can check again.
Your album
could be buried
under the pile
in the box
when you moved in.
It’s gone.
Excuse me, if I may.
I’m not sure about his other stuff,
but I know what happened to his album.
Qin Meiyang!
My mom shredded the photos three years ago.
She went nuts and cut all of them into pieces.
Hadn’t I sensed something was wrong
and hidden his IDs,
they would’ve
been destroyed, too.
The past is the past.
Don’t rake it up.
If I were you,
I’d get everything out
so that they’d be
mentally prepared.
Or, if Mom loses it again...
They’ve never seen it.
They can’t handle it at all.
If he won’t tell you, I will.
When Ling Xiao
was about to graduate from college,
my mom was doing OK,
so he planned to come back.
Here, this one tastes better.
Easy on the meat.
Eat some greens.
Your face is round.
A good appetite is a blessing.
Blessing?
It won’t be
when you regret eating too much.
Lean back.
Your hair is in the bowl.
Have you decided on your job?
I’ve asked around about the company
you worked as an intern.
It’s good.
Well paid.
I haven’t decided yet.
Be quick.
Where are your classmates going to work?
Mom.
Have you considered
going back to China?
Of course not.
What do you mean “going back”?
I was raised in Singapore.
All my friends are here,
right, Mom?
That’s true.
I’ve been here
for almost 20 years.
I’m used to this place.
If we go back,
I may feel strange there.
Besides,
I’m too weak to travel.
Hurry up and get it settled.
Stop hesitating.
Mom, you can
take care of yourself now.
Singapore has all sorts of facilities.
My sister has grown up.
You can stop worrying about her.
So I’m thinking
to get a job back home.
Singapore is just one plane ticket away.
I can visit you anytime.
Ling Heping called you, didn’t he?
No.
I know
I’m a lot.
I don’t want to be a burden.
I can walk and go out
but I still need my wheelchair.
If I fall,
Little Orange isn’t strong enough
to help me up.
And what if
she falls ill?
I can’t even take her to see the doctor.
When that happens,
what should I do?
I’ve consulted the doctor.
You have nothing to worry about.
Doctor?
What does he know?
He isn’t paralyzed.
How can he understand
my suffering?
He sure can talk the talk.
“Don’t worry!”
What is Ling Heping thinking?
He isn’t old
or disabled!
Why is he trying to steal you away?
Mom, calm down.
I’m only asking for your opinion.
Don’t bother.
If you ask me,
my answer is no!
Ling Xiao, you aren’t
going back to your dad’s, are you?
I planned to
after graduation.
Don’t leave me
here alone.
I don’t know how to take care of Mom.
You saw
her reaction.
Please, Ling Xiao!
Please don’t go!
Ling Xiao.
Mom, why didn’t you knock?
Are you browsing photos?
What photos?
Nothing.
Let me see.
I’m going to bed.
Next time, please knock first.
Sure.
Get some sleep.
Don’t always stay up too late.
I’m home.
Ling Xiao.
Little Orange.
Did you clean
my sneakers?
I threw them away.
They’re worn.
I’ll get you new ones.
What are you doing?
Aren’t you going back?
You can see them every day.
Why do you still
need these photos?
Can you give it a rest?
What do you want from me?
They must’ve spoken ill
behind my back.
They call me names all the time.
And I’m supposed to keep their photos
as mementos?
How big-hearted do you think I am?
I’m sorry. I can’t do it.
Just leave if you want.
Don’t worry about me.
I hate to be a bother
or a burden.
I should’ve left
with Little Orange’s dad.
Stop, Mom.
Forget about me.
My death would end things
once and for all!
Without me,
that’d be a weight off your shoulders!
Just go.
Go!
I get it.
I’m not leaving.
I’ll work here.
Where are you going?
To get my sneakers back.
I’ll go help him.
Mom, I’ll be right back.
Ling Xiao, stop, please.
Those sneakers are a gift.
I must get them back.
I know.
Mom didn’t know I found them
and hid them in my backpack.
They’re in my backpack.

Why are you sitting here?
Nothing.
Have they left?
Yep.
Your attitude matters
when you care about others.
You know one can be
both sharp-tongued and kind-hearted.
A mean person
can be tender inside.
But most of the time,
the mean side alone
is hurtful enough.
So what?
They hate me anyway.
Who hates you?
Your brother
or Jianjian?
Both.
I see.
Your manner can be off-putting sometimes.
That’s not the reason.
Right after Ling Xiao graduated
and planned to come back,
I begged him to stay.
I feared being left alone with my mom.
Since then,
Ling Xiao
hardly smiled.
He was awfully quiet,
depressed
and absent-minded.
I knew how hard it was for him
to look after us
and how much he was eager to come back. I...
Your fear is natural.
Back then, you were still a kid.
I was 14 already.
I kept telling myself every day
I cannot be my mom.
But how is what I did
different from her deeds?
Here’s the difference.
A 14-year-old
could be a carry-on,
but a 50-year-old has grown out of it.
A carry-on?
Think about it.
When you were a teenager,
you couldn’t live on your own.
Others had to carry you.
That makes sense.
So,
a teenager
acting willfully
is forgivable.
And you said it yourself
Ling Xiao chose to stay
mostly
because of you.
How could you say
he hates you?
But Li Jianjian does.
Soon after he returned,
her father and your family
spoke ill behind us.
You’ve completely
won him over.
Wait, wait, wait.
Who told you all that?
Your mom?
You’ve turned 17.
Can’t you use your own brain?
I have
and I think the same.
When I was little,
Li Jianjian...
I know I’m
her least favorite person.
When you were little?
Do you mean
you fell and injured your head
but lied and said Li Jianjian
pushed you?
All these years,
you’re still not over it?
I’m not over it?
Jianjian isn’t a child.
She’s not that petty.
It was over a decade ago.
She’s long forgotten about it.
You think she doesn’t like you
because
you feel guilty in front of her.
You should apologize.
And change your attitude.
Or who would know
what was on your mind?
I won’t.
She’d laugh at me silently.
Look, you claimed
that you don’t want to be your mom,
but actually,
you think just like her.
You always think the worst of others.
You have ten minutes
to adjust yourself and get back to work.
Welcome
to the grown-up world.
Zhao Huaguang is on the Blocked List
Zhao Huaguang
Zhao Huaguang
Ziqiu.
When I first arrived in Britain,
I stayed at your place
and left some stuff there.
Did you get rid of them?
What stuff?
Do you still have them?
They should be in the basement.
I have a couple of photos
in my English book.
I don’t want to trouble you.
Just take a photo and send it to me.
One more thing.
Send me your account number, too.
I’ll wire you the money.
Keep it to yourself.
No need. I can support myself.
Your grandpa is sick.
You should come and check on him.
What’s wrong with him?
Lung cancer.
He’s puffed on the pipe all his life.
His days are numbered.
You should come.
He wants to see his grandsons.
Don’t you have another son?
The more the merrier.
He’d like to see both of you.
He’s in the city. You can visit him easily.
You aren’t my dad.
My photo...
You chose to make this call
because that photo is important, isn’t it?
Look,
help me to help yourself.
Come and visit your grandpa,
and I’ll take the photo for you, deal?
Fine. When will you send it to me?
Is it urgent?
Yes.
Over the next few months,
visit him as more as you can
and entertain him for me
so that he’ll leave with no regrets.
Then you can have your way.
What do you mean “more”?
Think about it.
Call me when you have the decision.
It’s scorching outside.
What’s your plan after work?
Nothing.
Same old with the subway.
I have a free ride.
My friend is here.
Gotta go.
OK. Bye.
What’s up?
You did me a huge favor.
I still owe you a meal.
My mom asked me to treat you to dinner.
I had it with you.
This is unnecessary.
After dinner, let’s go watch a play.
Front-row seats to
Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land.
Secret Love in Peach Blossom!
And front-row seats!
Dinner is on me.
What would you like to eat?
It’s my treat.
Let’s go get seafood at the pier.
Buckle up.
Plays are different from dramas.
Classic ones
can be enjoyed
over and over.
Every time
on the stage,
their performances are different.
Their experiences mount.
That makes a difference.
It’s so much fun.
Their lines,
performances and figures
can’t be edited
as that of dramas.
All your strengths and weaknesses
will be amplified altogether.
Whenever you talk about acting,
you go on and on
like a hyped-up kid on sugar.
I just like to watch.
When you bring that up,
your eyes literally sparkle.
That can’t bring home the bacon.
Now,
I’m content
with my job at the museum.
It’s stable and less stressful.
I don’t need to be an actress.
Watching others act is the same.
No, it’s not.
You know what?
The moment you bring up your current job,
your mood suddenly darkens
and you put on a long face.
At least, two out of three in my family
are happy.
I think
your parents
have got the wrong idea.
They’re thinking of stars,
not actors.
In my mom’s opinion,
they’re the same.
I don’t know much
but my buddy directs plays.
You know
they play in small theaters.
All those actors are unknown
and so are their works.
But they have
so much fun in it.
They do what they do
for love
instead of
fame or whatever.
I’m not
after fame, either.
I also love acting.
Every time the camera focuses on me,
the light hits me,
all eyes are on me,
I feel like
Popeye
gobbling up spinaches.
I’m full of strength.
Why don’t you
audition for plays?
No, no, I can’t.
Why not?
Are you kidding?
The bar for doing plays
is set much higher
than dramas.
I can’t reach it.
Look at you.
You’re wrong, too.
To be an actress,
you should get your head in the game.
Give me a break.
They cast me
as a stand-in in dramas.
Forget about plays.
I’m not even qualified
for holding the script.
Listen to yourself. That’s pessimistic.
I am a pessimist,
a complete mess. So what?
I’ve finally made up my mind
to withdraw,
all worn out.
You’re telling me to go back?
If I make even the slightest attempt,
my mom will k*ll me.
Fine, fine, fine.
Enough about that. Let’s eat.
Li Jianjian, ’12 Class of Sculpture, is a thief!
She copied the work
of her schoolmate in ’03 Class.
That’s outrageous!
She stole
her schoolmate’s design.
How shameless!
I met her in the sculpture class.
We were told to learn from her.
She only struck me
as mediocre.
Go to hell, thief!
She’s brought shame
on our school.
Our school should take this seriously.
Take off her work
from the exhibition hall.
She’s such an embarrassment!
I kinda liked her before.
Trash!
She’s a thief!
Scum!
Check my ID.
Ran
Yeah?
What’s going on?
What’s Yufei doing?
No idea.
He didn’t answer my call.
Did you tell him about your idea
or did he peek at your design?
He peeked.
Don’t... Don’t you have the original photo?
Post it.
Still looking for it.
That guy
is a total scumbag!
I won’t work with him.
Up to you.
Stop sulking.
And... And stay away
from the school forum.
I’m on it now.
Don’t.
Ignore those idiots.
Find the photo first.
I’ll dig up his dirt.
We’ll crush him!
Crush him!
I thought you’d hesitate
and say things like he’s your schoolmate,
so you don’t want to be too harsh.
Schoolmate?
The moment he stole my idea,
he was degraded to an animal.
All plagiarists are public enemies
like termites in the wood.
Well put!
Since you’ve thought it through,
I’ll be on full throttle.
I’m doing the digging now. Bye.
Who was that?
Zheng Shuran.
Du Juan.
What’s up?
Have you found the photo?
Not yet.
You’d better hurry up!
My WeChat has been ringing all day.
Students are all asking me about it.
Apparently, they bought Yufei’s story.
Let’s talk face to face tomorrow.
Gotta go. Bye.
How about an ice cream boat?
Let’s go.
Come on.
Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land
I’ve never
had such a clearer view.
This kind of seat
must be over a thousand yuan.
I’ve never bought one
for myself.
As long as you enjoy it,
it’s worth it.
You’ve paid a huge price to please me.
Do you want me to set you up with Mingyue?
What are you talking about?
I was over her
long ago.
Clearly, love at first sight
is all about the look.
That person’s look
happens to be to your taste.
It never works
without knowing each other.
Once you two meet, it’s over.
Do you mean yourself
or me?
Isn’t it obvious?
I mean both of us.
Look,
the more we meet,
the less I like you
romantically.
Thanks.
From now on,
we’re buddies.
You aren’t my buddy.
Ziqiu is.
Ziqiu’s buddy is Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao is family.
It’s not the same.
So,
don’t feel too good about yourself.
Think about it.
If you and Ling Xiao
fall into the water together,
who will He Ziqiu save?
I’d rather drown myself.
Relax, I’ll save you, buddy.
Hello.
I’m at the gate.
Rehearsal Room?
OK. We’ll
meet you there.
Alright. Bye.
That director I know
is in the Rehearsal Room.
I can go home myself.
Wait. Come with me.
I...
Can you describe
the girl you like?
Black hair,
neat bang,
pretty round eyes
and a little bit naive.
You look naive, too.
Best wishes to you guys.
She doesn’t know I like her
and only takes me as a friend.
She’s in love with someone else.
Isn’t that one-sided love?
Yuran, have you ever done the same?
Yeah.
What’s he like?
Black hair.
Wearing glasses like you.
He’d drink with me
and he’s a bit naive, too.
On top of that,
he has feelings for someone else, too.
We’re quite alike.
Do you still like him?
Take a guess.
We’re leaving, Director.
Sure. OK.
Don’t be late for tomorrow’s rehearsal.
See you.
Zhuang Bei.
Let’s go
talk in a café.
I’m leaving then.
Don’t!
I’ll introduce you
to my buddy.
You won’t be disappointed.
Come on.
Hey, is this a blind date?
This play is called
Palms Up.
Palms Up
means
to ask others for handouts,
similar to
you asking your mom for allowance
like this.
But
this play in particular
is to ask others for love.
There’s a love quadrangle.
All one-sided.
No happily ever after.
The debut
is in a month.
We’ve contacted the theater
but the actress playing Xiao Fei
broke her leg a few days ago.
So right now,
we have to stop to find her replacement.
Don’t you have backups?
We do, but none of them are ideal.
You’re a good fit,
especially your hair.
We don’t need to redo it.
You look exactly
like the girl
the main actor secretly admires.
Neat bang, round eyes.
You bear a close resemblance.
Right?
I said so but you didn’t believe me.
I’m not bragging.
Tang Can is good.
She’s been acting since little.
At eight, she could cry in a second.
Did you watch the drama
I recommended?
I did. Not bad.
That’s it?
It’s fantastic, OK?
She’s new
to plays,
but she has
an eidetic memory.
In the museum,
files she needed to remember were thick.
Like this much.
After a week of studying,
she could be a docent.
Can you rest for a while
and let us talk?
Fine, OK.
Go ahead.
Zhuang Bei’s told me
everything about you.
Your look is fine
but you still need to
audition for the role.
The clock is ticking.
Read the script first, OK?
The audition is tomorrow
if that’s OK with you.
I... I have to work.
And I’ve decided
to quit acting.
This is too sudden.
I’ve never taken part in a play.
I may screw it up.
Not to mention your debut
is just a month away.
Relax.
Check out the script first
and think about it.
Get back to me tomorrow by noon,
OK?
Just have a try. You have nothing to lose.
Palms Up
Aren’t you going to open it?
I mean, should I?
Even if
you can’t be on camera,
you deserve to be under the spotlight.
Can I do it?
Absolutely!
What should I tell my mom?
That’s a good question.
All I can tell is that
since you decided
to quit,
you’ve been down.
I thought my feigned happiness
fooled everyone.
We all know
you’re upset
but we don’t know how to cheer you up.
Thanks for everything.
In The Alchemist,
the author wrote,
“when you
want something,
all the universe conspires”.
Since I turned 18,
whenever I
want something,
all the universe constrains me.
It sucks!
