In order for you to hear me,
my words are soft like a seagull's footprint.
Wonton noodles.
Thank you.
Where's the cute mute girl from last time?
What's the use of cuteness when you're mute?
Would you have let me marry a deaf girl?
What a pity. She was cute, but she was mute.
She is not a mute.
She's hearing-impaired.
We can hear.
She can't.
She has a name, and her name is Yang Yang.
Her sign language name is: Yang Yang.
Are you okay?
Eat something.
I don't want to.
What's wrong?
You don't make those charity boxes anymore.
Rejected?
Rejection.
I don't even know if our love ever started.
Has it really started?
I don't know.
I know.
Before I met your mother,
I've been rejected 23 times.
23 times?
Quiet down or your mom will hear me.
Turn on the faucet.
Come.
Dad, I'm surprised you have such a rich history.
It was just tough luck,
not being able to meet your mother first.
She's a good woman.
Even though she's loud and nagging,
but she still takes care of the household and us.
Just now,
she yelled at you outside,
then she came in and tells me to console you.
That's how she is.
She seems tough but she's soft hearted.
What do you mean?
She's got a knife for a mouth and tofu for a heart.
Honestly,
what kind of girls do you like?
When you're in a stable relationship,
don't forget to bring her home so we can meet her.
Dad,
would you let me date...
a girl who can't hear?
Dear,
What's up? Did he say anything?
Is he still sad?
What kind of a girl,
can sweep our Tian Kuo off his feet?
I would like to see if she is fat or skinny.
She can't hear.
Can't hear?
You mean "can't hear" as in her ears don't work?
Duh. What else could it be? Her nose?
Move the chairs.
Dear, you okay?
I'm fine.
Tian Kuo said that although she can't hear,
she is a hard working, optimistic, cute, lively,
filial, amicable, and kind girl.
She is nice to her sister, and everyone around her.
Tian Kuo said so.
There's nothing wrong with not being able to hear.
So long as you don't say anything no one will know.
What if you need to say something?
Then write it down.
Don't forget that Tian Kuo know sign language.
Tian Kuo does, but we don't.
No.
That's true.
(March to Deaflympics- Xiao Peng #1)
Tian Kuo.
Huang Tian Kuo.
Come down and go deliver lunch boxes.
How many take outs?
3.
3 take-outs.
Where is he?
Doesn't he know we're busy?
What.
Your sign language sucks. Luckily I understand.
Go. Go. Go.
I don't need you to tell me.
I'm his mom.
What's the hurry.
Tian Kuo.
Will you come help mommy?
Mom. Dad.
Tian Kuo. Take this to the Hong Tai Company.
The receipt is on top.
-Okay. -Ride carefully.
Thank you.
Tian Kuo, your safety helmet.
-You must wear the helmet. -Thanks, mom.
Here.
This is $3,000. Keep it.
Don't hurry back. Go have fun with your friends.
Buy or eat something with this money.
Yeah, and...
Cheer up.
Yes, yes, yes...
Cheer up is the way to go.
Are you still mad at me?
Sorry,
I didn't mean to fight with you last time.
Will you forgive me, please?
Will you stop being angry?
I'm love-sick. Don't hit me.
Girls shouldnˇ¦t be so narrow minded.
I already said I didn't look down on small money.
Will you stop being unreasonable?
Who would be angry for cash or coins?
Don't think you're the only one with dignity.
I have temper too.
It's finished.
She'll never talked to me again.
Isn't an apology enough?
What's up?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
We're going to eat later.
You want to come?
Sure.
Just go back.
You?
I'll wait for them.
I can wait with you.
There's no need.
We're going to eat later.
I can go with you guys.
I don't want you to come.
(The end is near. Start planting trees. )
(One tree. )
(2 trees. )
(3 trees make a beautiful forest. )
(1 acre of rain forest vanish each second)
(which is the size of 2 football fields)
(137 species of animals become extinct daily)
(If the situation continues,)
(The water birds may soon be extinct.)
(So to prevent that from happening to you, )
(Take me and plant me in your home. )
Have you ever thought that we might not get along?
Not everyone can love water birds and trees.
Maybe someone wants me to disappear.
and you...
become extinct.
You drank alcohol?
What were you thinking?
You've just recovered, you can't drink.
What if it affects your training?
Have you forgotten your dream?
You only care about my dreams.
What about yours?
What?
What is your dream?
Doesn't living for another person bother you?
What are you talking about?
Your dream is my dream.
Why must you steal my dream?
Steal?
You are you, and I'm me.
Why do you project my dream on yourself?
No one can live for another person.
I may not be able to hear, but I still need my own life.
I won't get gold medals my entire life.
You shouldn't sacrifice your life for me.
Can you tell me what happened?
The coach told me,
My performance has regressed.
It's probably going to affect my eligibility.
You can't compete anymore?
No I can't.
I've lost the chance to compete this year,
the chance to show the world how hard I've worked,
and the chance for you to wave that flag for me.
All of the hard work is for nothing.
Sorry.
It's all my fault.
Sorry.
Don't you understand?
All this has nothing to do with you.
I'm not sorry that I cannot get a medal,
it's because I can't get the medal for you!
For me?
You work so hard.
You never go out dating.
You skip meals.
You've sacrificed everything for me,
but I can't win a gold medal for you.
How can I face you?
How will we pay the loan without the prize money?
Don't worry about the loan...
I'm your elder, but I let you take care of me.
Who's taking care of whom, does it matter?
I don't want to be your burden.
You are not my burden.
You are my sister.
I only need to stand still when I perform.
But when you swim,
you're competing in milliseconds.
To have you as an elder sister,
makes me so proud.
When we were kids.
You ignored those who bullied you.
You never got angry.
Yet when someone bullied me,
you would go and beat 'em up.
Having you as my elder sister,
I feel so proud.
You've never been a burden to me.
If there is a next life,
Will you still be my sister?
(Happy Meal Box Boy : How are you?)
(Me too. You need to rest. )
(March to Deaflympics- Xiao Peng #1:)
(You have the wrong person. )
(You must have mistaken me for another girl)
(I am Yang Yang. )
(I know you are Yang Yang. )
(Since you never reply to my messages, )
(and I can't stop thinking of you, )
(I fantasized that you wrote me many messages)
(Then I replied to them. )
(I can go to sleep now. )
(Are we that familiar?)
(Do you think that we won't get along)
(because of hearing problems?)
(Do you have a dream?)
(Yes. )
(Marry a girl, )
(have 2 kids. )
(One boy, one girl. )
(Is it an impossible dream, )
(for a hearing person to date someone)
(who is hearing impaired?)
(It's easier than your sister winning a medal)
Why is she ignoring me again?
Did I say something wrong again?
Yang Yang
I love you.
She's gone again.
It's so beautiful here.
Do you remember catching crabs when we were kids?
I do.
We always returned home all messy and smelly.
Mom used to yell at us so angrily.
I laughed and said that you ran like a water bird.
A boy once told me,
That I looked like a water bird.
He's seen you run as well?
Is that boy Tian Kuo?
Yes.
He looks like a good guy.
You two are a good match.
I'm not going to date him.
Why?
He can't hear neither.
Do you like him?
I've often thought of him.
How come you can't just say you like him?
Is it because of me?
Egrettas fly according to seasons.
I hope you can be like an water bird,
and not be confined to one place.
If you leave me one day,
and fly freely like a water bird.
I would be very happy.
You don't want me to stay by your side?
No, I don't mean that.
I want you to believe that I can be independent.
I didn't say I don't believe you.
If you believe that I could be independent,
why would you reject a deaf person?
It's because you spend all your time on me.
You think you can't take care of him.
You don't think the deaf can take care of others.
Dad always encouraged us,
and told us to never give up.
I did not give up swimming.
You should not give up on him.
What's up?
-For me? -Yeah.
When did it arrive?
I don't know.
I thought it belonged to a customer,
but it said Tian Kuo.
You are Huang Tian Kuo, so it must be yours.
There's money too.
Lots of it.
Why did you come back?
She probably hasn't gone too far..
So what if I get her back.
Even if I get her back,
would you guys accept her?
That's the girl who can't hear?
The hard-working, optimistic, cute,
lively, energetic, filial,
kind, nice to her sister, and nice to everyone?
Yes.
Dear.
We should find time to learn sign language.
What?
You know.
Mommy just loves to talk.
Sometimes my chin gets sore because I talks too much.
It's good to let it rest every once in a while.
That would be better, right?
Yes, then my ears can rest too.
You think I'm noisy?
You're the one that said it, not me.
So you guys are okay?
Thank you mom, thank you dad.
I love you guys.
I love you guys to death.
Yang Yang
I want to invite you home for dinner.
Why?
I want to introduce you to my parents.
Why?
Because I like you.
I want to be your boyfriend.
But I can't hear.
They won't accept me.
They will see.
Besides, you told me before,
if the deaf cannot see, then they will be uneasy.
I guarantee you,
I will let you,
and them
see my love for you.
Can I invite you home for dinner?
Why?
I want to introduce you to my parents.
Why?
I want to give you a job at our restaurant.
But I can't hear.
Will your parents agree?
They...
will see
will see my...
They will see your effort and dedication.
Dad Mom
Dear, they are here.
So pretty.
This is the girl I was talking about.
Yang Yang.
Hurry. Let her sit.
They asked you to have a seat.
Tian Kuo's Mom, that's me.
Move on.
(We welcome you. )
(Thank you for liking Tian Kuo. )
(Tian Kuo is just like you. )
(Hard-working. )
(Optimistic. )
Hurry up.
(Cute. )
Next one.
(Lively. )
Hurry up.
(Filial. )
Very amicable.
Very kind.
(Nice to his sister.)
Does Tian Kuo have a sister?
I don't think so.
Why did you put down sister?
He made a mistake.
Nice to his parents
Next one.
Nice to everybody. Hurry.
(So, will you marry him?)
She never said she's going to marry me.
How would you know if you don't ask?
She's not even my girlfriend.
Then what kind of a friend is she?
I do.
You can talk?
She can talk.
I thought you can't hear.
I can hear.
Why didn't you say anything?
You never asked.
That's because...because...
I thought you couldn't hear.
I didn't think you could hear neither.
How is that possible?
I sell meal boxes.
What does that have to do with the ability to hear?
True.
How are they related?
Are they related?
I don't think so.
I must have said something in front of you.
Yeah.
Yesterday.
Technically,
you've said something behind me.
You heard all that?
Then why did you lie to me?
You didn't tell me the truth neither.
I asked you why you're inviting me to your house.
You said you were going to find me a job.
So
You didn't come here to see my parents
because
I can hear, right?
Of course not.
It's because...
I like you.
Did you hear that.
She said she likes him.
I heard it.
She likes him.
Wait.
Then how did you guys talk when you dated?
We didn't talk.
We used sign language.
Sign language?
I've actually imagined your voice.
Yeah.
Who does it sound like?
Just like
you.
How did you become so skilled in sign language?
When I was in college,
I met a sign language teacher.
He asked me if I was interested.
So I studied under him.
You must have been a diligent student.
Honestly, after I met you,
I spent a lot of work on my sign language.
When I was young,
I did not like sign language,
because I always have to trans late for Xiao Peng,
so I never have enough time for myself.
Until one day,
Xiao Peng asked me if the piano sounds nice.
Then I started crying.
From that day on,
I studied sign language diligently.
I want her to understand all of the sounds.
I got it.
It's like when I wanted you to hear the rain.
Why?
I think it sounds like longing.
When did the water bird I gave you have siblings?
Whenever I think of you,
I'll throw in a dollar.
Slowly, each one filled to capacity.
So I had to buy a new one.
I know you love me,
but can you let me go first?
Did you see Xiao Peng?
Xiao Peng?
Where?
Thanks.
Go. Go. Go.
Why didn't you go to practice?
I quit the game
What do you mean?
I can't regain my speed in time.
I've decided to look for a job first,
and practice while I work.
When I'm ready I'll enter the next competition.
Don't worry about the money.
I'll handle it.
Just focus on your training.
I told you.
I cannot get gold medals my entire life.
Even if I do,
I still have to work to support myself.
Whether I am a coach or a janitor,
as long as I am ready,
I can still enter the competition.
Awesome!
So touching
I support you!
Look at me.
Lin Xiao Peng.
In my heart.
You are already number 1!
Number 1.
Number 1 forever.
Thank you.
Number 1.
