Someone has iron deficiency.
Someone has calcium.
But the thing that I'm deficient the most is dignity.
Today, I lost all my dignity
which doesn't left too much already.
This woman is my wife.
Her name is Ma Dongmei.
This running man is me.
My name is Xia Luo.
I should have been very handsome today.
But my wife makes me
act like a fool.
Blushing...
Hello?
Emergency?
Come quickly!
Someone's been attacked!
Stop!
Luo, that's enough.
I have to go back right away.
Today is my girlfriend's 60th birthday.
She doesn't know I drove her car here.
Alright, drive carefully.
Go round a couple more times.
Stop! Stop!
Xia Luo.
Man, you are doing well.
I was just thinking.
Who's that driving in circles?
Long time no see.
Brother!
Bastard!
Everything I'm doing today
is for the girl who stole my heart.
Her name is Qiu Ya.
Everyone knew her at school.
She was the most beautiful girl.
But I was more famous than her.
I was the school joker!
But I don't understand
why this beautiful girl
would end up marrying a "pig".
I'll show up on the most important day
of her life,
and then disappear forever.
I'll be her Prince Charming,
but only in her dreams.
I'm not playing the leading role today,
but I have to look my best.
The tragic thing is,
I'm wearing the same suit as the M.C.
Hey buddy,
did you get lost?
Yuan Hua,
Can you make up a poem
to describe Xia Luo's outfit?
Please don't...
Come on!
Try it!
Alright...
Attending the banquet
dressed in feathers.
Reuniting with classmates
looking like a chickn.
Xia Luo, It was a joke.
Take it easy.
I was trying to make it rhyme.
Hey guys,
you look great!
Mr. Wang.
He was expelled for taking bribes.
- Shame on you for coming. - Mr. Wang
Do you remember me?
I was cross-country running champion that year.
Number one.
That year,
my father gave you a SONY radio
as a new year's gift.
Zhang Yang!
How could I forget you!
Mr. Wang,
my father gave you a television!
Yuan Hua!
You look awesome.
Teacher, I gave you a wall calendar.
I don't remember that.
I've forgiven you.
You guys have all changed so much!
Mr. Wang,
I'm Meng Te.
My name is Montacute now.
Sit down!
After you.
Actually the student
I remember best in your class
is Xia Luo.
What is that punk doing now?
Come here,
little punk.
Tell me what you are up to now.
I didn't mean any harm.
It's okay.
Congratulations!
We were classmates.
Let's choose someone to give a speech.
Xia Luo.
Xia Luo, Xia Luo.
Be brave!
Speak clearly!
Qiu Ya.
I wrote a poem for you when we were at school.
But I can't read it to you,
Because I've swallowed it.
Doesn't matter.
I've also written you a song.
So now,
I'll sing it for you,
to end our relationship with a... question mark.
Microphone!
Come on!
Just once,
let me be with you forever.
Xia Luo!
Ma Dongmei?!
How could she come here dressed like that?!
Right.
Xia Luo.
You told me that you were going to visit your mom's grave.
What's wrong?
Dongmei.
You're late!
Xia Luo is drunk.
Qiu Ya, I didn't know it was your wedding party.
So I didn't get dressed up.
Please forgive me.
Congratulations!
Congratulations uncle!
He is my husband.
Oh I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry uncle.
Everyone is here.
Dongmei.
I haven't seen you for so long.
Mr. Wang. What a surprise!
You're still alive!
Dongmei, come and sit here!
No thank you,
I have to go visit mom's grave with Xia Luo.
Two happy events on one day!
Xia Luo,
We should go home.
You go first.
I need more drinks!
It's bad for your stomach.
Don't drink any more.
You can drink back at home if you want.
We've got liquor too.
Let's go.
I don't want to have a cocktail.
You can't take your drink
Don't let them laugh at you.
Who's laughing at me?
No one.
Nobody's laughing at you.
No one would laugh at Mr. Xia. Right?
Fine. Let's go back.
Xia Luo.
You should know when you've had enough to drink.
Go home with Dongmei now.
What I hate most is the sound of your voice.
You really think I don't know?
You stole Qiu Ya's first kiss!
Let's go home.
It's alright.
Xia Luo,
I've tried not to embarrass you.
Honey,
Let's forget about those guys.
Go away!
It's Qiu Ya's wedding.
You're singing and dancing,
dressed like a feather duster.
Stop showing off.
I bought it with my own money.
I can wear whatever I want!
Your own money?
Shame on you!
Have you ever earned a penny since graduation?
Being a couch potato
at home all these years,
your limbs have seized up.
I was a cup therapist during the day,
and a rickshaw driver at night.
I was saving up to buy a motorcycle taxi
to make me feel less tired.
Now look at you,
you just took my engine money
to buy your wedding gift.
Xia Luo,
when we got married,
there was no reception at all.
We just shared a lamb spine hot pot
the day we got the marriage certificate.
Stop talking nonsense!
Do you think I am exaggerating?
Here. Show them.
There's the price tag!
Why?
Because he has to return it later!
At this moment,
I've lost all my dignity of being a man.
I don't need to concern about how people judge me any more,
I have to thank my wife,
for letting me become a typical idiot.
Maybe being ridiculous
is my life's destiny.
I'm a total loser.
What's more pathetic is
I don't even know what I want.
Loser!
Divorce!
Stop!
Where's your mom?
Didn't I ask you to bring your mom here?
Fuck off.
Wait, what did you say?
What the hell is going on?
That's funny.
Xia Luo has lost his memory!
Amnesia.
Xia Luo, do you remember your last name?
Xia Luo. Let me make this clear.
Don't try to trick me.
No one has the time to mess around with you,
you know?
Go fetch your mom here!
Get out!
This dream is so realistic.
Xia Luo,
did I say you can go back to your seat?
How dare you ignore me!
Stop laughing!
Do you hear what I'm saying?
What's that weird outfit you're wearing?
Like a hooligan!
Where is your uniform?
Who attends a wedding in school uniform?
You went to a wedding?
Your mom is getting married again?
Stop laughing!
Who do you think you are?
Justin Bieber?!
Okay, if your mom is not here.
You have to solve the problem yourself.
This is your love letter.
Read it out loud to your classmates with plenty of feeling.
Dear Who.
Who is your dear?
Look at yourself.
How many people have you hurt!
Read it!
So everyone will see
how nasty the second biggest dumbass in our class is.
You're shameless!
Being the biggest dumbass,
makes you proud?
Read it!
Didn't you hear me?
Read!
How dare you hit your teacher!
Bastard!
Don't think you can bully me in my dream!
Xia Luo!
Let me tell you!
You are trash!
You have no future!
Let go!
You want to discuss the future?
Ranking us everyday,
dumbass No. 1, dumbass No. 2,
is this what you call the future?
I'll tell you what:
Even if we are trash in the future,
it's because of you!
Hey!
Chun, What are you doing?
I don't know.
Xia Luo, how could you hit Mr. Wang?
Who did that!
Stop it!
Yuan Hua is going to tell the principal!
What are you trying to do!
Mr. Wang,
Don't you think my shoes are cool?
This dream is
terrific!
What're you doing?
Qiu Ya.
Shut up!
Young man,
if you have any troubles
any concerns,
you can talk to me.
Don't hurt girls.
I have to wake up.
This is turning into a nightmare.
Don't try to threaten me by hurting yourself.
You're letting yourself go.
I had too much to drink.
I can't wake up.
Fine.
Then let's have some more fun.
Zhang Yang,
give me a light.
I don't smoke light, so where would I get a cigarette?
Xia Luo, Xia Luo!
What are you doing!
Put out that fire!
Burn in flames
m)' youth!
Xia Luo.
Mom.
Principal.
Are you crazy?!
Is it you who did all this?
Principal.
I'm so sorry.
What do you want?
Mom, I miss you so much.
Don't cry.
I don't want to see you cry in this dream.
I have to wake up,
otherwise I may not be able to return my suit!
Mom,
I'll bring you more money later.
Honey,
I've been dreaming of my mom.
Stupid son.
Who are you calling your honey?
Mom.
You scared me.
Don't you believe that you're still alive?
I don't believe that you're still alive!
Based on his present condition,
he should be fine.
What year is it now?
Is Obama still the president of the US?
Maybe we should transfer to another hospital.
Son.
What happened to you?
Xia Luo.
You're still strong even though you're lame.
"L keep calling for you,"
"my 1997."
"Last century I watched you go."
"I expect you back here"
"after ahundred years."
"Everything has changed,"
"except my longing for you."
"I keep calling for you,"
"my 1997."
"1997"
"I'm coming quietly to you."
"Let this eternal moment"
"be shared with us."
"Let the air and sunshine be full of true love."
"1997"
If anything happens to Xia Luo,
I don't want to live anymore.
To be honest,
Xia Luo doesn't know his father at all.
As soon as Xia Luo was born,
his father disappeared.
Aunt,
I totally understand.
My family had the same experience.
My dad's name is Ma Dong.
He left when I was born.
That's why my name is Ma Dongmei.
Mom,
I'm back.
Xia Luo is really bold.
He hit Mr. Wang!
I told you there must be something wrong with his brain.
So scary.
I must keep away from him.
You don't need to do that.
You're a femme fatale.
You have the upper hand.
Hate you!
I don't want to play with you boys any more.
You piss me off!
Chun, put it out.
I have something to say about this...
What idiot is smoking by the restroom!
Which class are you in?
Come to the Dean's Office!
Relax.
It was just a kiss.
Hey, listen,
Don't gossip about me behind my back.
Say it to my face.
So loose-tongued..
But you're right.
Xia Luo is such an idiot.
He hit Mr. Wang for me.
I've already told him before that
I don't want to start a relationship so early.
I must stay totally focused on my shot put training.
What about him?
He even jumped out of the window to chase me.
When do you think Xia Luo is going to grow up?
Dongmei,
I think I should tell you what happened
after you ran away.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo.
Could you kick the ball to me please?
Don't shout at me like that!
I haven't decided what to do with Xia Luo yet.
Hate you.
Here.
A kick from Mrs. Luo!
Since the school was founded,
since New China was founded,
throughout the history of education,
there never was such a terrible case.
Therefore the school has decided
to expel him.
Wait,
What do you want?
I'm doing it for my child.
I've offended the Principal,.
But I had no choice.
Help me!
I'm being harassed by the principal!
What a rascal!
How can you say that?
I've never seen a mother like you.
You have no manners at all.
I can't face people anymore.
Fine, fine.
Just let Xia Luo write another self-criticism.
Thank you, sir!
We're not doing exercises today.
There's an urgent meeting.
Yesterday,
in class two of the third grade,
there was a terrible incident of assault. A student hit his teacher!
What Xia Luo has done
is the worst example of bad behavior.
He definitely should be expelled from the school.
But considering he has already acknowledged his fault,
and has punished himself by jumping off the building,
and he gave the kiss of life to his classmate
who was fainting with shock,
Therefore,
the school has decided
to penalize Xia Luo with a major demerit record,
And require him to apologize to all of us for his actions.
Come here, Xia Luo.
Stand at the front.
Hurry up! Don't waste our time!
I've been wasting my life
for a long time.
I never thought that I would have the chance to be born again.
So,
I thank heaven
and the earth.
I thank the school
and our teachers.
I also give thanks that the classroom is not on a higher floor.
I want to say sorry to all of you.
Mr. Wang,
from now on,
there is no more personal animosity between us.
Finally
I must say sorry to my classmate, Qiu Ya.
I not only wrote you a love letter,
but also kissed you rudely.
But I really thought it was just a dream.
I will make it up to you.
Ok, ok, that's enough.
Class dismissed!
Take that sick girl to the clinic.
Everyone turn to page 142.
Question 3.
Remember the answer.
It hasn't been in the exams for two years,
so it must be there this year.
It's a 15 point question.
So you'd better memorize it
Hmm.
What's that, Zhang Yang?
It seems like you don't believe me?
I believe you.
Let's have a bet.
The winner gets a bread maker.
Please don't...
I've already decided.
You're all witnesses.
Sir.
Off you go.-
Concentrate now.
Let's talk about the bread maker business.
I mean the test business.
Sir.
What's the matter, Xia Luo?
You want to raise the stakes?
I want to change my seat.
Xia Luo, listen.
We still have unfinished business.
Don't go too far.
Ma Dongmei always eats sunflower seeds in class.
It disturbs my studies.
Disturbs what?
Your scores couldn't get any lower.
Mr. Wang,
I really want to improve my grades.
I don't want to drag down the whole class anymore.
Alright,
Where do you want to sit?
Next to Qiu Ya.
That's your real purpose!
I'm too embarrassed to say it.
So why does Yuan Hua get to sit next to Qiu Ya?
You want to compete with Yuan Hua?
Yuan Hua is the top student every year.
Since you've mentioned Yuan Hua,
I'd like to praise him properly.
Yesterday,
Yuan Hua won first prize in the
district-wide essay contest.
His essay's title was
My Father, the District Mayor.
Give him a round of applause!
Mr. Wang,
It's not a writing contest at all.
It's a contest of who's your father!
Why should you care!
Just sit tight there.
You're asleep most of the time anyway.
Then I want to sleep with someone else.
Xia Luo,
Are you through?!
You're in school, not in your backyard.
You think you are the principal who can sleep anywhere he wants to?
Mr. Wang.
I need to talk to you.
Study by yourselves.
You,
Go to the back of the class.
Mr. Wang hasn't agreed to that.
I'll beat him again if he disagrees.
Yuan Hua, what should I do?
Don't worry.
I'll be back.
You, Go to the back of the class.
Dongmei,
You can't break us up for your own selfish purposes.
My 2B pencil...
Dongmei,
You're the first girl who ever chose
to sit next to me at school.
Qiu Ya,
just one thing,
I really want to say sorry to you.
Why are you doing this?
Ouch!
Qiu Ya,
I wrote a song for you.
Let me sing it to you.
"Just once,"
"let me be with you forever."
"Laughing in the bright sunshine,"
"free like birds in the air."
"Do you know"
"The only thing I want..."
What?!
Xia Luo.
Be quiet.
We're studying even if you're not.
Qiu Ya.
A question just stumped me.
Can you help?
Thank you Dongmei.
Turn around.
Why?
You sang very well.
- Sing it again for me. - Go away.
- You have a problem singing for me? - Get up.
Sing it again for me.
Stop making a fuss, honey.
What did you call me?
You're shameless!
Shit!
Qiu Ya.
Don't be like this.
I'm so upset.
I suddenly turned into a sniveling idiot.
And I used to be a straight A student!
I didn't expect that
Xia Luo, he...
Stop talking about him.
Your hand is bleeding.
I just touched your hand, and you...
He touched your lips!
No-.
Aren't you Yuan Hua?
Yes, so what?
I'm stumped by this question.
I can't figure it out.
It's too difficult.
Sister,
This is a magic Buddhist illuminated mirror.
It can wash away all the bad things from your son.
Your son is a bit scared of it.
It's a normal reaction.
No need to worry about it.
Thank you, Miss Wang.
It's a great help to me
if it works.
My son always locks himself in his room
after he gets home.
One minute he's crying, the next he's laughing.
He even hugs me whenever he sees me.
Do you think he is mentally ill'?
Mom, I'm home.
Aunt Wang.
You looked so beautiful when you were young.
If you had stayed this beautiful,
uncle would never have divorced you.
That's ridiculous!
I'm telling the truth.
Are you smoking again?
How many times have I told you to quit smoking?
Don't you know how you're gonna die?
So useless.
I look like a monkey.
"I'm standing in..."
How many years have these guys been famous?
Where's Pu Shu?
Pu Shu isn't famous yet.
Neither is Xu Wei.
I'm going to be famous!
"That laughter reminded me of"
"those flowers of mine."
See? The mirror works!
"In every corner of my life"
"quietly blooming for me."
"I once thought I would always be"
"by her side"
"But today we have already parted"
"lost in the sea of people."
"They must have grown old?"
"Where are they now?"
"And just like that,"
"we each ran off to opposite ends of the world."
"Lalalala Missing her."
"Lalalala ls she still blooming?"
"Lalalala Go ahead."
"They've been blown away by the wind"
"scattered to the ends of the world."
Are you ok
in these classes?
Don't worry.
I have to let him become overconfident
before I destroy him.
I've already sent someone to teach him a lesson.
Just give me a little more time.
But at least
he won't do anything to you at school now.
Qiu Ya?
I'm Xia Luo from class two of grade three.
I wrote a song just for you.
Please let me sing it for you
during the break.
"You once hoped to take a heroic journey"
"to see the wonders of this world."
"You were always brave when you were young,"
"but you've lost your way now."
"Your beloved girl"
"has disappeared from your life."
"Love is the thing that heals you, troubles you"
"and cuts you to pieces."
- That's too much! - Stop talking.
Keep going forward courageously.
Xia Luo.
Dongmei, please don't...
Put it down!
Ouch!
Ma Dongmei.
Why have you started causing trouble too?
Be honest,
Didn't I treat you well enough?
Did I ever take anything from you?
You chose to come here yourself.
Xia Luo,
Did you write those lyrics yourself?
Luckily you have a good literature teacher.
There's a singing contest for school students next week.
Don't come back without a prize.
"Use the Nunchucks"
"Hng hng hah heh"
"Use the Nunchucks"
Hmm
The first prize goes to
Li Zhenxing from the Experimental Primary School, for his song
I Offered Petroleum to My Motherland.
Xia Luo,
I really liked your "Nunchucks" song.
But I bite my tongue every time I sing it.
Can you teach it to me?
Don't come so close to me.
Qiu Ya.
What happened to your bike?
Xia Luo.
You did this, didn't you?
How could you suspect me?
I saw you constantly swallowing in the class.
I guessed you must be thirsty.
So I went to the canteen to buy you a soda.
But all the drinks were chilled.
I know you can't drink cold soda right now,
so I kept it next to my chest to warm it up.
The good news is
the soda is no longer cold,
but my heart is frozen.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't blame you.
It's not your fault.
I didn't make a good impression on you before.
You did.
Actually I kinda like you.
Being old and ugly doesn't matter for a man.
The most important thing is to have talent.
And you
are such a talented person.
Thanks for you soda.
Xia Luo.
Now I understand,
the wheels you just sold to me were taken off this bike!
Xia Luo!
I needed money to buy you the soda.
I didn't have the money.
So I had to sell your wheels.
But as a compensation,
I'll give you a ride everyday when you go to school and after school.
I'll be your personal driver.
See?
I've fitted this little cushion specially for you.
Who did it?
Look at the stars. One, two, three, four, five, six...
Oh Qiu Ya.
My bike is broken.
Get on mine.
I'll take you home.
Thank you Dongmei.
No problem.
Xia Luo,
Are you really using so many locks for this pile of scrap metal?
No one would steal it!
Ma Dongmei!
You're an ugly girl who does weird things.
Xia Luo. How could you say that to Dongmei?
I think Dongmei is prettier than Qiu Ya.
Are you blind?
Are you in love with her?
No, no.
I'm not.
No-.
Come on.
Chun,
The male female sex ratio is becoming increasingly unbalanced in our country.
Tens of millions of men will not be able to find a wife in the future.
Do you think you'll be one of them?
Of course!
How could there be any doubt.
Xia Luo, what should I do?
Chase after Ma Dongmei.
I've told you before.
Stick to her like glue.
If you don't take the chance at school,
you'll regret it in the future.
But the College Entrance Exam is coming up,
what about my studies?
It's not your first priority.
Chun, honestly,
you are different from the others.
Don't waste your time on studying.
Don't even go to college.
Tell your mom
to invest in real estate instead
of paying your tuition.
Inside Beijing's 2nd Ring Road.
She will definitely listen to you.
Who wants to argue with an idiot.
Sure.
I'll do it.
Xia Luo. I won! Xia Luo!
Xia Luo, this is my first win ever!
Xia Luo, I won!
Are you Xia Luo?
- Come with me. - What're you doing?
Go away!
Ok, sir!
Your name is Xia Luo?
You've got some nerve.
Listen,
don't bug me.
I've jumped off a building before!
I'm not a sane person.
Who cares.
Nobody's sane these days.
Don't be so crazy.
I'd better go make some enquiries.
Everyone knows my elder brother, Chen Kai.
Brother Chen Kai.
You know what?
Qiu Ya belongs to my younger brother.
Keep your distance from her. Got it?
Dammit are you listening?
Is that clear?
Did you hear me?
Bro,
From now on,
I'm your only younger brother.
What's the money for?
Xia Luo.
Chun asked me to help you.
She's got a nerve!
What are you doing here?
Go away!
Xia Luo,
Are you being bullied?
It's nothing to do with you.
Go.
Bro,
you know this girl?
He is my neighbor.
Xia Luo.
How can you hang out with these bastards?
Say that again?
Watch your language!
This is my big brother.
Go, go: go"
You've changed.
In what way?
Ma Dongmei, don't you understand what I'm saying?
Don't pretend you know me.
Listen,
this is always the way I am.
Get out of here!
How can you talk to a girl like that?
Don't be afraid.
You want me to pick my teeth with this toothpick?
Stay there!
Big fat oily asshole!
You're shameless.
Pah!
Where're you going?
Put me down!
Let me go!
Bastard! Bastard!
Brother, bro.
What?
Xia Luo,
What're you doing!
Go away!
Beat him harder!
Stop!
I told you to go away. Did you get lost?
Mr. Wang.
Please forgive me, Mr. Wang.
I was your student! Mr. Wang.
You still remember you were my student?
Is this what I've taught you?
Your hair is awful!
Wait for me!
Thanks, Mr. Wang.
Are you ok?
If you're ok then go home straightaway!
Mr. Wang
You know martial arts!
Then why didn't you hit me back
when I attacked you before?
Nonsense.
I am a teacher
I find Mr. Wang is kind of attractive.
Xia Luo.
Xia Luo, wait a second.
Don't follow me, ok?
Xia Luo.
Wait for me.
Listen to me.
Xia Luo, slow down.
Xia Luo.
Tell me.
You like Qiu Ya, right?
Right!
The whole school knows I like Qiu Ya.
Let me make this clear, Ma Dongmei.
I will never be with you.
Why did you protect me just then?
You misunderstood.
It's because I don't like them.
Nothing to do with you.
Don't get all sentimental.
Fine.
As long as you tell me right now that you hate me,
you won't ever see me again.
L.
Just say it.
Ma Dongmei.
Go ahead.
I don't hate you.
I knew it!
Don't follow me.
I'm going home now!
NW Qom!
"You are so softhearted."
"Softhearted."
"You cry the whole night by yourself."
"You love that person"
"so deeply and without regret."
"But I know you're not strong at all."
I'm not laughing at you.
Have you seen Xia Luo?
Go away.
Dongmei.
Haven't you heard the story of the frog copying the princess?
Who's the princess?
And why did the frog copy her?
Being ladylike is such a torture!
"The chrysanthemum, withered away."
"Your smile is still the prettiest."
"You are a perfect girl."
"Young and vivid."
"I want to share with you,"
Qiu Ya, have you seen Ma Dongmei?
Why are you looking for me?
Remember, Chun.
Dongmei's favorite flower is the sunflower.
Her idol is Leslie Cheung.
The thing she hates most is men who are slobs.
So don't tuck your undershirt into your long johns.
"Life is a long journey"
"just like a dream."
Shut up!
Don't insult my idol!
Go away!
Xia Luo, you liar!
Don't be naive, trying to chase after me.
You're asking for the moon.
Qiu Ya.
Why are you running so fast,
like a sports student.
Your shoes even fell off.
When you picked up your shoes,
it reminded me of a fairy tale:
Cinderella's glass slipper.
It's so wonderful
that Ma Dongmei is not here right now.
Dongmei is a nice girl.
Are you kidding?
Dongmei is so annoying.
Her voice,
sounds like gunfire when she talks.
Yours is way better.
Your voice is like the lark's.
Besides,
the way she walks.
Let me show you.
Is it really necessary?
Yes.
Of course.
Let me show you.
Let me show you how she walks.
Xia Luo.
Do I look like I'm riding a pig?
I'll show you how she throws the javelin.
Just like throwing the javelin while riding on a pig.
Dongmei.
You actually look great in that outfit.
Can't we just talk?
Do we really need to do this?.
So you're Xia Luo?
No, I'm not.
Does the guy you're looking for
have a birthmark like this too?
Someone wants to see you.
Come with us.
What do you want?
I just got beaten, bro.
Let him go!
What're you doing!
- Xia Luo. - Ma Dongmei.
Xia Luo.
Where are we going?
Taxi.
Please, driver,
follow that car.
Stop, stop, Stop!
What's wrong with you?
It's only one block!
Bro, to be frank.
I just got beaten.
Can't we just talk?
Let's not get all physical.
Madam,
he's here.
Nice to meet you, Xia Luo.
Are you
Miss Na?
You can't imagine how much I like your songs.
You are my only idol.
I choose your songs whenever I go to Karaoke,
every time.
I choose your songs.
Young man, I'd never guess,
you seem very talkative.
Look.
The reason I brought you here
is that I want to discuss something with you.
Discuss something with me?
I've heard your songs.
I think you're...
very talented.
So I'm inviting you to write a song for me
and perform with me.
Xia Luo, what's the matter?
Bitch!
Xia Luo! Run!
"You thought you just made some wrong decisions..."
"What you ended up with is not what you want."
"You thought time could start again."
"And your love would be immortal"
"if you chose another person."
"You're blind to the one who really cares about you."
"She would give up everything for you."
"No matter whether you're rich or poor."
"No matter if you made her proud or not."
"She would always support you."
"Be with you forever."
"You're so lucky to have someone who loves you"
"but how could you break her heart?"
"Her love for you is pure and deep."
"You mustn't lose this opportunity."
"You're so lucky to have someone who loves you"
To win her heart again.
Xia Luo is rehearsing everyday.
He isn't taking the College Entrance Exam.
But the rest of you can't slack off
at this time.
The exam is your only chance for a better life.
Xia Luo.
He lives on the third floor.
Xia Luo comes home at this time everyday.
BaShen, keep your eyes open.
Okay.
Leave me alone!
Ma Dongmei, what're you doing here?
My brother is looking for Xia Luo.
It's none of your business.
Go home.
What do you want from Xia Luo?
Xia Luo is a good singer.
Cut out his tonsils!
Brother Chen Kai.
Is this for money or for what?
If it's for money,
I'll pay it for him.
If it's something else,
you can cut out my tonsils instead!
I have a bad case of tonsillitis anyway.
What's wrong with you, Ma Dongmei?
As long as you let Xia Luo go,
I'll do anything for you.
Would you go into the bushes with me?
Ma Dongmei, stop!
Are you insane?!
Bro, bro, bro. Are you ok?
She is my classmate.
She has nothing to do with it.
Ma Dongmei, get out of here!
What?
You want to go into the bushes with me?
Sure.
Fuck you!
Bro, Xia Luo is here.
Brothers, get your weapons.
Stop!
Can you promise
that you'll let Xia Luo go
if I go into the bushes with you?
I promise.
Dongmei, you can't go with him!
I'll go with you.
Dongmei!

Xia Luo,
When you read this letter,
I will no longer be in this city.
I'm leaving tonight
to the Netherlands to study sport.
I have thousands of words for you,
but it's hard to start.
I haven't seen you in a long time,
but I'm always thinking about you.
Congratulations on your dream come true.
I don't know
if there is a chance for me to
hang out with such a big star in the future.
But don't worry about me.
Hello?
Qiu Ya?
This is Yuan Hua.
I'm wondering which college you applied to?
I want to go to the same school as you.
Please don't call me anymore.
I don't want Xia Luo to get the wrong idea.
No-.
Qiu Ya.
No-.
After "Meet in '98" was released,
Xia Luo became extremely popular.
He was the first Chinese male celebrity
to appear on the cover of Time magazine.
"He travelled all over the world."
He also produced a TV talent show
which was a big hit in Asia,
The Beautiful Throat of China
However,
to everyone's surprise,
an unexpected incident occurred yesterday
during the live recording of the program.
Let's take a look back at what happened.
This is a singer competitor from Taiwan.
His cover song "Sunny Star", originally released by Xia Luo, brought the house down.
But after his performance:
Why are you changing my lyrics!
One two three four. The stars are in a line?
Are you a ravenous snake?
One look at you and I get angry!
Calm down.
Everyone must follow the rules of the competition.
I don't know how this could happen.
Actually I like Xia Luo very much.
I like all of his songs.
I'm writing too.
But I don't know why that
I feel like I'm always living in his shadow.
I didn't expect him to be so nasty.
- Is he crazy? - I'll never come again.
How could he have been so stupid?
Maybe Xia Luo is in a bad mood.
Stop thinking these useless thoughts.
Fix his public image problem immediately
before it gets worse.
Reduce the negative impact as much as possible.
You don't want it?
I need to take a vacation.
Come on. Let's have a drink.
Ok.
Hey.
Hey girls.
Sweeties.
I'm back.
Don't get the wrong idea, sister.
I invited them.
Hello, Andy.
I've finished the song for you.
I wrote yours first.
Listen to it.
"My old home"
"is in this village."
"I "
I'm trying to make you more popular in the mainland.
I know you're not a Mandarin speaker.
I have a Cantonese version for you.
"My old home"
"is in this village."
"I was born and grew up in this village."
Cool! Let's go with this then.
Ok, bye.
Xia Luo.
You're a genius.
Qiu Ya,
if some day I couldn't write songs anymore,
will you still love me?
Luo.
Luo, there's a fishing boat behind us.
Probably a troublemaker.
Shit.
Yuan Hua.
Uncle Yuan is in prison? How could that be possible!
Stop staring.
She is Luo's wife now.
Now you're peeping?
Yuan Hua,
I always admired you.
Your intelligence started leaking out at school.
I mean it really exploded.
Can you write a poem
to describe my look today?
My poems are all too critical.
It doesn't matter.
I'll try. try.
Charming vision in rooster feathers
Better than a phoenix on top of the world
Great!
Beautiful!
You're still so talented.
How about this?
I'll invest and you start your own magazine.
I've got a name for it,
Poser Man
You can be chief editor.
Xia Luo,
you're so generous!
Cheers!
To be honest,
I feel so bad about what I did.
How could I be so naive?
Xia Luo, to be frank,
I'm so sorry for Ma Dongmei.
She was humiliated by Chen Kai.
What?
You're drunk.
Have some fruit. Fruit.
Go on.
Am I saying to much?
I thought you all knew.
Don't worry. I'm just curious.
Go on.
It wasn't a big deal.
She just..
Dongmei went into the bushes with Chen Kai
in order to protect you.
I shouted myself hoarse,
but I still couldn't change her mind
She wanted to protect you.
Chen Kai has some powerful connections.
They made Dongmei's family pay a lot of hush money.
I heard that her mother even had to sell their house.
Qiu Ya, did you know this?
Yes, I knew it.
You were rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala at that time.
I didn't want to distract you.
Zhang Yang, you knew it too?
Bro, I knew it...no I didn't.
Yes... I didn't know.
That's all past history.
Come on. Let's drink!
Right! It has been so long since we saw each other.
Come on, let me get you some more wine.
No I'm done!
Dongmei,
Where are you?
We are no longer together,
how can I still owe you so much?
When we were together,
I didn't give you a good life.
Our tiny apartment was too crowded for us.
Only 40 square meters.
Uncle,
ls Ma Dongmei living in room 322?
Madong what?
Ma Dongmei.
What Dongmei?
Ma Dongmei!
Ma what?
Fine. Have a nice day, uncle!
Sure.
Alright...
Have you ever earned a penny since graduation?
When you are not drinking,
you just lie at home.
Your limbs have atrophied.
You don't understand.
This is my dream.
What dream?
Who are you looking for?
Is Ma Dongmei living here?
I'm sorry. My mistake.
If you run out of money, you can earn it again.
But if you lose a person, you lose everything.
You're Xia Luo.
After being together for a long time,
young couple should not waste their energy quarreling.
Go.
It's a good time
to have a kid.
Let's do it.
Thanks for your lucky wishes.
I'll close the door for you.
I'm going to have twins!
Who are you looking for?
Ma Dongmei.
Come in.
Superstar,
You should've let me know
before you come.
So I could clean the room.
It's a mess.
My home is small,
not like your luxury villa.
Home is home, whether it's big or small.
Xia Luo.
Sit.
Have a seat and let's talk.
Dongmei.
Ah.
Long time no see.
I saw you a lot.
On TV.
You're so popular now.
Your face is on every channel
when I switch between them.
It's so annoying.
This is the brick which I used to hit Miss Na.
I've kept it for years.
I still want to hit her every time I see her on TV.
You don't throw the javelin anymore?
I stopped that a long time ago.
Some years ago,
my javelin hit the judge in a competition.
I got a lifetime ban for that.
I don't mind.
Training makes your arms
too thick.
I'm a team physician at the sports school now,
doing massage and cup therapy for the athletes.
Never got away from those cups.
Have you eaten yet?
I'm making noodles right now.
Noodles with gravy and fennel.
My secret recipe.
You definitely should try it.
I'll get you a bowl.
I've been waiting for this moment for years.
Eat it. It's getting sticky.
Play that old thing later.
I'm tired of noodles with gravy and fennel. We eat it everyday.
Even my sweat smells like fennel.
Are you tired of me too?
The noodles are ready!
Try it while it's hot.
Xia Luo,
I see that
you are a foodie,
just like when you were young.
Every time my mother cooked a meal,
you always dropped by and knocked on my door.
Try it while it's hot.
I'm not sure if you like it.
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
Slow down. Nobody is going to grab it from you.
I remember when I was young,
you took me to the Xinjiang BBQ restaurant.
You were eating the lamb kebabs so fast
that you puked all of them onto the bread.
You have no idea
how much I hate seeing a pizza now.
Oh no,
did I make you feel sick?
Dongmei.
I once had a dream.
In the dream, we got married.
But it was not a happy life.
I was always drinking and making you upset.
Finally, you couldn't take it anymore.
You wanted to divorce me.
You must be kidding.
You're a superstar.
How could I be so lucky.
We were living in this 40 square meter home.
The water supply was cut off every Tuesday night.
Every time we used the microwave, there was a power cut.
Every time we flushed the toilet,
we had to fill the tank with water by ourselves.
Xia Luo.
I always had stomach ache in winter.
You massaged me to warm up my stomach.
One time, I fell down the well and broke my front teeth.
You took care of me.
You sat beside me and kept cracking sunflower seeds
which really annoyed me.
However,
you kept all those seeds for me.
In order to help me quit smoking,
you hid all the lighters behind the radiator.
Then they all exploded.
Hot water was running everywhere.
You were scared and cried in my arms.
That night,
we looked like drowned rats
and spent the whole night cleaning up the mess.
The first time you cooked for me,
You made me noodles with gravy and fennel.
I remember you said that
the smell of the fennel could remind me of how sweet you were
when I got tired of you someday.
I'm home, honey.
The hat shop downstairs has a sale.
I've bought lots of hats.
All these are my favorite colors.
Chun, look who is here.
No way! Xia Luo!
I'm not dreaming, am I?
I need to come in again.
Dongmei. I forgot my keys.
Open the door!
Sigh...
Xia Luo, my bro.
I missed you so much!
This hat's for you.
Keep it for yourself.
You... and Dongmei...
When were you married?
I actually must thank you, Xia Luo.
Without you, I definitely couldn't get such a good wife.
Then be nice to her.
I will..
I have to go somewhere. I'm leaving now.
Stay longer, Xia Luo. You just got here.
Oh, Chun.
I told you to buy a house, right?
Did you buy it?
Xia Luo.
I need to thank you for that too.
My mom bought two houses near the 2nd ring road.
She bought them for 2700 a square meter.
Only half a year later, the price was up to 2900!
So I told her to sell them immediately.
Made a huge profit!
Then I found that
the house prices were going crazy.
I told my mom to persuade my relatives to sell their houses.
Rent houses to live in
until the prices go down.
Don't get in touch with your relatives any more.
Keep your distance from them.
Xia Luo.
Drop by anytime!
Dongmei, do you still like Xia Luo?
What're you talking about!
Everyone thinks I'm stupid.
I'm actually not.
Ha, you've made me noodles.
Chun.
I'm not a narrow-minded person.
I don't even mind to live together with both of you
if it's legal.
Bullshit.
Don't be stupid!
"Never question destiny."
"No matter how hard the journey is."
"Go to the place of your dreams."
"I won't have any regrets."
"Life is full of troubles."
"It doesn't matter if you have some more."
"You wouldn't cherish me"
"if there were no heartbroken farewells."
"I still can't forget you"
"even though I've crossed the world."
"I can tell nobody"
"about my love for you."
"If you're missing me as well"
"I won't feel lonely then."
Xia Luo is here!
Xia Luo. Xia Luo!
Zhang Yang, give me a light.
I announce that
I'm going to retire from performing forever.
After three years,
I'll definitely be famous.
Listen, Ma Dongmei
I'll give you all the romantic moments that I owe you.
Your room will be full of sunflowers.
I got it.
The sunflower is such a happy flower.
It always faces the sun.
Sunshine, so romantic.
Not really.
The best thing about the sunflower is the edible seeds.
What's wrong with you!
You're like an insect trying to stop a car!
Honey, I don't know how to say it.
Do you know Ferrari?
The next song
is Andy's latest single which was written specially for him by Xia Luo,
It's called "Village".
Xia Luo, why are you here?
Is this wreck your car?
Where did those flowers come from?
From my fans.
I'm tired of driving a small car. A truck looked like fun.
What a wealthy lifestyle!
Come on. Let's have some fun.
You pick the place. My treat.
Really?
Of course.
- Can you drive? - I'll show you. Get in the car.
Did I hit someone's bike?
Hurry up. Otherwise we'll have to pay for it.
Go.
Chun, is this the place you picked?
Seriously?
Stop jabbering! Get some tokens!
I won.
Xia Luo, I won!
Do you know, Xia Luo?
I've been practising this skill for years in order to beat you.
It's just a game.
Don't be so stingy.
I'll get you a toy at the claw machine later.
Chun, I'm so jealous of you.
Eh?
Living like a fool.
What do you mean "like"?
You are a fool.
I'm jealous of you actually.
You've got everything you want.
Except my love was taken away.
Who?
Who is this arrogant man who would dare to steal Luo's girl?
He is my best friend.
Bullshit!
Xia Luo.
Call him. Right now!
Let me deal with him!
Call him!
I'll deal With him!
I got a phone call.
Hello?
Chun.
I'll give you everything I have.
Can you give me Dongmei?
Doctor.
Is Xia Luo ok?
Doctor, you know who he is right?
It won't affect his songwriting, will it?
Please calm down first.
We've detected HIV virus
in Mr. Xia Luo's blood.
Positive.
Thank god, his brain is ok.
Wait.
What did you say?
HIV.
Is it the bird flu?
Generally,
we call it AIDS.
Qiu Ya. Qiu Ya!
Keep calm.
Calm down. Don't get any crazy ideas.
It might not be that serious.
Xia Luo, you son of a bitch!
How could you do that!
I need a checkup!
Me too.
Who did it?
Why is everyone teasing me!
Luo.
How could you become like this?
Zhang Yang,
Thank you.
Mom.
I'm not a good son.
I can't take care of you anymore.
It shouldn't be difficult for you to find a partner
at this age.
Don't worry about mom.
Zhang Yang is an honest person who I can rely on.
Luo,
I've thought about it already.
From now on,
our relationship must be clear.
I'll call you brother,
and you call me dad.
What're you looking for, bro?
Let dad help you.
Xia Luo, Xia Luo. Please calm down.
Xia Luo.
Don't be so rude to Uncle Zhang!
Go away.
Get out of here!
Our kid is so sensitive.
Stay away from my mom!
Doctor.
You guys again?
Let us in, please.
I'm sorry. I don't have permission to do that.
Then Doctor,
can you tell me about his condition now?
The patient is very uncooperative.
His condition is not good.
Probably he only has two days to live.
Xia Luo,
me and Chun are coming.
Chun,
there is only me now.
Xia...
Xia Luo,
Human relationships are pretty interesting.
When we were young, I always liked playing with you.
We did role plays.
I played the father,
and you played the mother.
After we grew up,
you started dating Qiu Ya.
I suddenly realized that I was really into you.
Later, you became a super star.
I didn't dare to love you any more.
You've written so many songs over these years,
but actually my favorite one
is the song you wrote for Qiu Ya.
Listen, I'll sing it to you.
"Just once,"
"let me be with you forever."
"Laughing under the bright sunshine,"
"free like birds chirping in the air."
"Do you know"
"the only thing I want?"
"The world is small."
"I'll go with you to the ends of the earth."
"Till we find a quiet corner to live in peace."
"We'll grow old together with no worries or troubles."
"Do you know"
"my heart beats as one with your heart."
"I Will stay"
"by your side"
"always with you"
"Never turning back"
"Everything"
"you do"
"sets my heart beating"
"guides my life"
"I will be by your side, always with you"
"Never letting you go"
"Yesterday, today and tomorrow"
"to the end of time"
"Before the dawn"
"on the other side"
"we see our past in the clouds,"
"beyond the ocean and the sky"
"a beautiful curved horizon"
"I don't know"
"how far we have to go"
Xia Luo.
Get your hands off me!
The police are here.
Haven't you caused enough trouble!
Hey.
Stand up.
I'm writing.
We are in the police station now.
I forgive you also not line?
"Being taken little by little"
"NO
"I remember all the days and nights that I was waiting for you"
"Don't look back"
"I'm not leaving"
"I won't leave"
"So just like thesad, sweet, dark and bright moments in the past"
ll now"
"can hurt you"
"Little by little"
"I'll miss you just like you miss me."
"I remember all the days and nights that I was waiting for you"
"I Will"
