I stink. That's why no one wants to be my friend. I know that.
One must be kind-hearted.
If you do good deeds, then you'll have friends.
Let her go.
This isn't even enough to cover the interest.
Freeze.
I'm innocent, madam.
Come in with us to the police station first.
You've been to jail before.
Admit it. I won't be mad at you.
People were prejudiced against me before. I didn't mind.
I shouldn't have thought of you as a friend.
$10.
I'm sorry boss. Something happened. I need to go home and take a look.
I'll be right back.
Don't bother. I've hired someone else already.
Come over.
I'll pay you the wages I owe you. Then you can go.
Why? I won't take the time off then. I'll wash the bowls right away.
No, thanks. My place is clean. I don't want trouble.
I wouldn't have known you were a prisoner if Sing hadn't told me about it.
I'm sorry, boss. Please give me a chance. I didn't mean to lie to you.
You said the bowls I wash are really clean.
Too bad your records not clean. I don't hire prisoners here. Beat it.
Mrs. Chan.
Hey, Ho.
Where's Hang-hang?
Someone came last night to take him to your place.
OK. Thank you.
No problem.
Hang-hang...
Ho-ho.
Where's Hang-hang?
I took him to school. It's good you're home.
Last night I was with Madam Chi. We found out you had gotten into trouble.
I thought the police would hold you in custody
for 48 hours at the most.
So I took two days off to come over and look after Hang-hang.
If you still weren't released in two days,
the Social Welfare Department would send someone over.
Then I'd officially apply for permission to look after Hang-hang.
I won't leave him behind.
Are you hungry?
I cooked some congee for Hang-hang just now.
Let me reheat it for you.
I've also cleaned the ﬂoor and thrown away the expired milk
in case Hang-hang gets the runs from drinking it.
Just now I bought some corn, instant noodles and canned food for you.
When you're hungry, you don't need to go out and eat all the time.
Also, you wash dishes all the time.
Your legs and back must be under a lot of stress.
I bought you something nice. It's a massage pad.
It doesn't take up much room. It's useful too.
Whenever my grandma sits on it, she doesn't want to get up.
You can relax a bit. Then you'll have strength to work, right?
Just now they accused me of being a drug pusher.
They called me a prisoner.
But you're still so supportive. I'm so grateful to you.
But you're an officer. I'm an inmate.
I don't want to get you into trouble. Please leave.
That though never occurred to me. If it had, I would have left long ago.
You mean a lot to me.
I won't let anyone or anything stop me from supporting you.
Do you understand?
You're fine now...
Thank you.
You're fine now.
Kwong, you came in so early?
Yes.
How's Ho-ho?
She's fine. But I said the wrong thing.
I don't want to talk about it now. I'll tell you when I'm off later.
OK.
Control calling Madam Yiu.
An inmate in the laundry workshop is refusing to eat.
I'm on my way.
I'll go with you. I want to see Tm Sam-mui.
Does anyone know why Silly Chu is refusing to eat?
What does that matter to us if she refuses to eat?
What's the matter, Lan?
Madam Yiu, Silly Chu's refusing to eat. She says she doesn't have an appetite.
Silly Chu, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry? You want to lose weight?
If you still won't eat, I'll fill in the food return book.
How about this? The welfare officer Madam Chi is here.
If you don't want to eat because you're upset, you can talk to her.
I don't want Madam Chi. She won't understand what I have to say.
I'd rather talk to you.
Why don't you want to eat then?
I had a dream last night.
I dreamt that I choked to death while eating congee and bread.
I'm scared to eat.
How can you think dreams are reality?
Last night I dreamt that I became an old woman.
When I got up this morning, I was still the same.
Right. You're still so young and pretty today.
Start eating then.
OK.
Ouch. It really hurts. Ouch.
Tin Sam-mui, what's the matter?
My tooth really hurts.
Mui, you have a fever.
How's Tin Sam-mui?
The hematology and oncology department has sent me her report.
It confirms that she has lymphoma. The cancerous cells have travelled
along her lymph glands to other organs.
It's stage IV.
So she won't live for long?
I estimate she has half a year left. How long is her jail term?
Her release date is in four years.
Based on her condition, I suggest granting her an early release.
Madam Chi, I just have a decayed tooth. Why do I need so many checkups?
When will my tooth be taken out? Another tooth needs to be filled too.
Mui, the doctor said you have lymphoma. Your prognosis is not that good.
Don't worry. You will get an early release so you can see your family.
Madam Chi told me that you have a son.
Since I won't live long, there's no point going out.
Whether I'm sick or not, I only do four things.
Eat, sleep, go to the toilet and shower.
Since I can do all of these things here, I'd rather spend my remaining days here.
Are you still thinking about Mui's case?
I've worked in CSD for so many years.
This is the first time I heard an inmate say
that her life is just about those four things.
She'd rather die in prison than leave.
What would life be like if a person just cares about those four things?
She's actually changed.
At least she agreed to go out and join her son.
Perhaps she won't think that when she sees her family.
She doesn't have much time left.
I want her to be happy. I don't want her to be so negative.
Come on, pretty girls. Fresh curry fish balls.
Look at you. Your complexion is so nice.
You're a pretty girl too. You look younger than us.
Madam Lo, have you visited the inmates recently?
Yes. I went to Stanley a couple of days ago.
I don't understand why the prisoners are getting younger and younger now.
A lot of them are extinct volcanoes too.
Their parents are still alive, but they're nowhere to be found.
The world has really changed.
There weren't so many cold-blooded parent before.
There are more divorce cases now. There are lots of family problems too.
So we have to rely on loving volunteers like you
to care for them.
You two here for a free lunch?
Of course not.
What? Madam Yiu? Madam Chi? So you all know each other?
Yes. I'll explain later.
Here, this is my grandma. Everyone calls her Madam Lo...
Madam Lo.
This is the key man in our restaurant. This is Brother Tsung.
Hello.
Hello, Brother Tsung.
She's Ting Ho-ho. You can call her Ho-ho.
Grandma, you said earlier that you wanted to hire a waiter.
Yes. I'm going to post some notices on the street later.
You don't need to do that now. Ho-ho will take the job.
Sure. No problem. It's an easy job. Everyone can do it.
Thank you, Madam Lo. I will work very hard. Thank you so much, Kiu.
You're welcome.
Q, let's talk inside.
Have a seat. Get to know the place.
OK.
Q...
OK. I know what you want to ask me.
Q, do you know you're putting me in a difficult position?
You're creating confusion about my role.
Enough. I've heard enough of that. Just presume that I've crossed the line.
I'm selfish. I didn't consider your feelings.
But Q, I care about you.
You hired her to work here. That means she's lost her old job.
I told you that I would find a job for her. Why are you so impatient?
Do you know she was fired because she was being discriminated against?
I trust that you'll take care of her. I trust that you can too.
I've listened to what she's experienced after her release.
Her path is really difficult. Also, she can’t walk properly.
She doesn't just need you, she also needs the support of the society and friends.
She doesn't have anyone. I'm her only friend I have to support her, and I will.
But I...
Enough. First, he wont listen to you. Secondly, he's right. It's true.
Look. Trust my judgment that she wont give us trouble. Right?
Thank you, Sis Ka-ka.
Look. I'm your guarantor now. Don't screw up. Be rational.
Don't let me down, OK?
Definitely. Kwong, let her get through this first.
Shes suffered lots of setbacks after her release.
Forget about your rules for the time being please.
OK. I've got nothing to say.
But mind you, when I'm at work, I'm still Madam Chi.
Thank you, Madam Chi. Thank you, Kwong.
Have some tea please.
Thank you very much, Madam Lo.
You're welcome.
Actually, I remember your name. Ting Ho-ho. It's really easy to remember.
You were in Lo Wu Correctional Institution before.
What?
I'm a volunteer. I mainly visit the extinct volcanoes.
I've come across your name before. It made an impression.
I see.
How come Q knows you?
Oh, he's very nice. He knows I have a son. He's helped me a lot.
Don't worry. Our lady boss is really nice. Like she said, this is an easy job.
You take orders and serve the tables. You have to clean up too.
Sometimes when I'm away, you'll take deliveries and unload the soda.
Don't worry. I may look small. But I'm actually very strong.
I don't use my crutch when I work. I'll show you.
It's light.
Thank God. Be careful.
I'm sorry. I didn't get in the right position just now.
Don't push yourself, Ho-ho. Take it easy.
We're all like family. We can discuss and figure ways to make things work.
Thank you, Madam Lo.
Who's bothering you all the time?
Ally.
What?
She helped Jimmy get away in Kwong's case.
But now Jimmy's had sex with a 13-year-old girl.
The police have sufficient evidence to charge him.
Kids today don't realize that
things can go wrong if they hug and kiss.
But what's Ally's part in this?
Jimmy said Ally seduced his dad.
I checked. Ally did get together with him.
Now Ally keeps sending me messages.
She said when she went out with Jimmy's father,
she didn't know that the he had a wife and kids.
Now Jimmy's in trouble. His parents are asking Ally to help him.
Their relationship is so complicated?
I really don't know if it's true or not.
I'm so confused by what Ally says.
I really can't tell when she's telling the truth or lying.
Shall I ask her to come out and talk?
She's such a good talker. You won't get anything from her.
But if she weren't so smart, how could she win my dad's favor?
You know my dad really cares about his image He wants to publish an autobiography now.
He's entrusted all the work to her. He really trusts her.
You can tell how much my dad favors her.
When Yung Ming Group's chairman Yung Shiu-kong
was about to go to the ICAC headquarters earlier
to assist in the investigation,
he suddenly fell sick and fainted when he stepped out from his head office.
He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Who are you looking for?
Yung Shiu-kong. I'm his son.
He's such a lousy player. It serves him right that he was sold.
I really can't believe it. Hey, Donald.
Don.
You're so nice to visit me?
What did the doctor say about you?
I'm still waiting for the report.
Waiting for the report? What you have is a fake disease.
What are you talking about?
Don, don't upset your dad as soon as you get here.
If he were really sick, I wouldn't have said that.
How do you know he's faking it?
I have so many years' experience looking after the prisoners.
I can easily tell when they feign their sickness or they're really sick.
Are you kidding? You're treating me like a prisoner?
You can evade this for a while.
But you can't do this forever unless you plan on never leaving the hospital.
That's enough. You didn't ask me how I'm doing.
You even said something to upset me.
People might think you're here to arrest me, Yung Sir.
You know very well whether you've done it.
You must pay for what you've done sooner or later.
Don, your dad did pass out just now. His blood pressure is still really high.
The doctors haven't found out the cause yet.
That's why he has to stay in the hospital for check-ups.
Of course. He drinks so much fine wine and eats so much good food.
Try to eat something plain. Then you won't need a doctor.
Enough. Are you done? Please leave. I want to watch the soccer match.
I'd leave even if you didn't ask me to. I think I've wasted enough of my time.
Forget about him.
I'm fine. I'm immune to everything.
Otherwise this bad son would have driven me mad already.
Why are you in such a good mood? You want me to teach you how to chase girls?
Don't be so serious all the time. Be more cheerful when you're with Ka-ka.
Look. Don't evade the question. You know my relationship with Don.
This has to do with Jimmy. I just want to hear your stow.
You want to ask me
if I bribed the witness and whether I went out with Jimmy's dad?
I don't want any misunderstanding between us.
I really don't know if he bribed the witness.
But I did go out with Jimmy's dad. However it only lasted two months.
So I really don't know you.
We were married for a year. I didn't know you well at all.
To be exact, we were married for two months only.
You spent ten months asking me to stay.
I told you long ago that we couldn't get along.
And we shouldn't be together at all. You're way too serious.
You're not a bit impulsive. You're no fun.
Not impulsive? You mean like our trip to Japan?
You wanted me to drive really fast. But I wouldn't.
In the end we had a big fight.
A person's character is greatly affected by his childhood.
You're exactly like your dad.
He's the most civic-minded citizen in Hong Kong.
When he saw a piece of trash on the ground,
he would pick it up and put it in a trash bin.
And then there's your mom.
I remember once she told me that when a woman decides to marry a man,
she must spend the rest of her life with him
Come on. This is the 21st century already.
I got so scared after I heard that, you know
You think it's wrong to be a responsible person?
And you think it's wrong to be a loafer?
You don't like being like that. That doesn't mean others don't like it.
You can talk so well. I can’t outtalk you.
What do you want to ask me on Don's behalf?
Did you use Don to get close to his dad?
Why don't you rephrase your question this way?
Did I use Yung Shiu-kong to get close to Kong?
Basically, you think I just care about money
People are so full of contradictions and subjective.
You've already found me guilty. Why are you still asking me?
Actually, life is rather simple.
Do what you want to do as long as it's not against the law.
Do You agree?
Even if something's not against the law, you still shouldn't hurt other people.
Jimmy's just a kid.
Jimmy's weak. Who said one's relationship with one's parents has to be good?
You're distorting the facts.
You asked me to come out just to lecture me? You're really a bore.
I'm leaving. Remember, don't be so serious, OK?
You'll bore Ka-ka to death. Goof-off. Try to be a goof-off, OK?
It's steamed dried cuttlefish and pork again?
We ate that a couple of days ago.
You really liked it. So I made it for you again.
Is this boring?
I really want to eat it.
Next time I'll use preserved vegetables, preserved eggs or salty fish.
It should be different, right?
OK. Hey, do you remember Fan?
Fan? Your good friend in England?
Yes. She's back from London.
We're going to Central with our friends for a drink.
You can join us after you work the P shift.
I can't. I'll be on call after that.
You're not required to stay in a certain place while you're on call.
Just keep your phone on.
Of course not. I always stay home when I'm on call.
It's closer and more convenient.
You really can't go?
I better not go. Besides, I can't drink when I'm on call.
I don't want to spoil the fun. You go by yourself, OK?
Our shifts conﬂict all the time. We hardly get to see each other.
Ka-ka, apart from that, do you think I'm boring?
You know I never change.
You must be so bored when you're with me.
Do I need to be a goof-off sometimes?
Who would ask such a question?
It's true. I'm afraid you'll get bored.
What can you do to entertain me then?
Can you jump through a ring of fire or somersault?
I'll perform this for you.
Are you serious?
I'm jumping.
Are you OK? Are you crazy, goof-off?
If I liked goof-offs, I wouldn't have fallen for you.
You're so silly. But I'm happy because you tried to make me happy.
I've known you for years.
You think I don't know what kind of person I like?
Are you done talking? Can you call an ambulance for me now?
Even if we calculate it this way, the result is still wrong.
Sir.
Man, we have to handle the complaint by the inmate's family
regarding payment for the extra blanket.
The media has kept scrutinizing us since Old Devil's case.
Don't spend so much time on the betting slip.
Mak Sir, I suspect that the complaint is related to the betting slip.
I can't be sure yet,
but I believe the direction of our investigation is correct.
I hope you'll give us some more time.
Then...OK. I trust your judgment. If there's any progress, keep me posted.
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
Goodbye, sir.
Have you figured out anything?
If this is really a betting slip,
we can say the numbers in brackets are negative numbers.
But I really don't know whether we should read them horizontally or vertically.
Their memory can't be that good.
There aren't any names on the sheet. How can they tell who's who?
Wait a second.
Mo, I want Lam Gai-yan's prisoner registration number.
Yes, sir.
Lam Gai-yan is...379006, sir.
What about Big Brother Shing?
Big Brother Shing is...396933, sir.
Check 00 and 58 too.
00 is...Cheuk. He's 361700. 58 is...Uncle Ching. He's 297558, sir.
I see. So the first row indicates the prisoners.
They're the last two digits of their prisoner registration numbers.
It seems that Big Brother Shing is the big winner
and Lam Gai-yan the big loser.
Chiu, is Lam Gai-yan going to be transferred to Siu Lam for assessment today?
Yes.
OK. Start the car.
Don't start the car yet...Open the door... Lam Gal-yan, you're not allowed to leave.
You're not sick.
You owe Big Brother Shing gambling debts. You can't repay.
So you faked insanity to get a transfer.
Big Brother Shing has already told us everything.
Poon Tai-shing, we're searching your cell now.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I found something.
Sir, there's a set of paper mahjong too.
Look. Big Brother Shing is locked up in SU now. It's your turn.
If you cooperate with us,
we'll consider mitigating for you in front of the Superintendent
during the disciplinary hearing.
Man Sir, we have nothing to do every day. It's hard to kill time. So we gamble.
We bet on everything.
We turn the pages of a book.
Or we bet on whether the officers or inmates
will come into the workshop with their left foot or right foot first.
We play dice and cards. There are all lots of ways to gamble.
I ended up owing Big Brother Shing a huge sum. I'm in jail.
How can I repay him?
Sol lied to my mom by telling her that there's a new rule.
We need to pay for an extra blanket.
My mom used to be so dumb. She's illiterate.
How would I expect her to be so smart and file a complaint against you guys?
I don't care that she did that.
The problem was I couldn't raise money to repay my debts.
If I don't repay,
Big Brother Shing will ask someone to beat me up.
So I wanted to stay away from him by faking insanity to go to Siu Lam.
I drank the shampoo and vomited foam. It looked so real.
I can't believe you guys could still figure out I was faking it.
Good. Thank you for your cooperation.
Big Brother Shing said he wouldn't talk if we were caught.
He didn't say anything.
What?
Go.
You still need to work?
Yes. I want to finish the report first.
Have you eaten yet?
I didn't know you were here. I didn't buy food for you.
I've eaten already. You go ahead.
OK...There's a package?
Yes. It was delivered this afternoon.
Honest Man.
Hello.
This is Shajing Public Security Bureau.
What?
We've arrested Tin Sam-mui. Please come over.
OK. Thank you. I'm on my way.
What's the matter?
Shenzhen's police called.
They said Tin Sam-mui's in trouble. I need to go to Shajing.
I'll go with you.
Shajing.
See if you two know this old lady.
Mui.
Madam Chi.
Mui, how are you?
Madam Chi.
Do you have time to complete the paper work?
OK. I'll go with you.
Mui, what happened?
I joined my son after I was released from jail.
At first, life was so good.
Then he said he would take me to my hometown
to pay respects to our ancestors.
But then he took me to a remote mountain.
He said he would buy some paper money and candles.
He took all my money and left. He never came back.
I can't believe this.
How could your son do that? He's not human.
$15 please.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Win?
Hey, are you human? How can you leave your mom behind?
Do you know she's sick? She could die any minute.
Can you live with that if she dies?
I've seen a lot of bad sons. But I've never met anyone as mean as you.
Your mom gave birth to you. She raised you.
Do you have a conscience?
Wing, don't treat me this way please. I really have nowhere to go.
Please be kind enough to let me go home.
I'm sick. I'm going to die soon. I don't want to become homeless.
Do you remember I loved you the most when you were a kid?
Enough. You say you loved me?
You gambled all day long. You lost all of dad's money.
You even owed loan sharks money. Dad left home because of you.
My life was fine. Why did you come to see me?
That happened in the past. She hasn't gambled in a long time.
She won't live long. Let her spend her last days with you.
No way. You say I'm mean? Did you ask her what she did to me?
When I was nine years old, she sold me to Vietnam
to repay her gambling debts.
I worked as a coolie, a beggar and even a gigolo there.
And you say I shouldn't be mean to her? Beat it...I don't want to see you again.
Wing, I'm sorry. This is my fault...
Mui...Mui...
Mui...
Mui.
How is she doing?
The doctor gave her a shot of sedative.
She needs to stay in hospital under observation.
Let's wait till she wakes up tomorrow. See what we can do to help her.
Get in the car.
I can't believe Mui did something so wrong when she was young.
It's true that she was really wrong then.
But she's dying. Why can't her son forgive her?
When parents let their children down, they cause a lot of harm to their kids.
It'll affect them for life.
Are you thinking about your relationship with your dad? Haven't you let that go?
It's late. I'll take you home.
OK. Stop. Morning, madam. Muster four people, all correct, madam.
Good. Carry on.
Carry on.
Madam Tai.
You're done inspecting the shoemaking workshop?
It's done. I have something to do on the 13th and 14th.
May I swap my shifts please?
Let me check the schedule first. There shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you.
I remember that you've never requested to swap shifts before.
Is everything OK?
It's just something personal.
I'm just curious.
Control calling.
Some inmates are fighting in the mask workshop.
On the way.
Control calling.
An inmate in the laundry workshop is refusing to eat.
It might be Silly Chu.
You follow Silly Chu's case. I'll go to the mask workshop.
OK. On my way.
Madam Yiu, Silly Chu's refusing to eat again
Silly Chu, come with me.
I want to starve myself to death.
Why are you so unhappy? Your boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend now.
I sent him a letter earlier. I've broken up with him.
Why?
Because Dad and Mom got bullied again.
Mom told me that someone put dogs' turd outside our home.
Those guys are so mean. My dad is mentally retarded.
Mom had me so that I could look after dad when I grew up.
But I'm too stupid. She said it's because of my genes.
I'm so stupid that I could never stay in a job for long.
So I collected carton boxes. My home was too small.
So after I had collected the carton boxes in the middle of the night,
I wouldn't go home because it wouldn't be long before daybreak
when the recycling yards opened.
I slept in the playground.
When I was cold, I put on newspapers like other people did to keep myself warm.
I was hungry, but I needed to save up.
So I would go through the trash bins to see if there were any leftovers.
Once I put different food together and got a mixed grill lunch box.
I was really amazing.
I'm so stupid that I have no friends.
The stray dogs on the street are my best friends.
Don't be like this.
No matter how hard things are, it will pass in due course.
Lucky there's a place near my home
where I can see the sun rise.
Every time I saw the sunrise, I felt like there was hope in life.
That's good. You'll be released soon. Then you can go there and watch the sunrise.
Madam Yiu, why are you so nice to me?
When I had an epileptic fit, you weren't scared.
I stank. You didn't go away. I didn’t eat. You talked to me patiently.
I'm just doing my job. Remember not to be so despondent.
All problems can be solved. Lots of people will support you.
Don't think of unhappy things. Wipe your tears and eat.
I'm sorry. This is my fault. I just thought of my unhappiness.
I forgot that you're here for me.
Hey, I want to go get something.
Go ahead.
This is for you.
Silly Chu, you're drawing again?
Yes, I'm drawing a card.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
So you were looking at my name tag.
How come there are so few Yiu and Ka but so many Oi ("love")?
You try and figure it out, silly.
Last time I wanted to give you candy. But you said you couldn't accept it.
I asked the other madams. They said I could give you a card.
Yes. But don't waste your time doing this again.
I won't accept it next time.
Oh, I'm hungry. I want to eat.
Why? Why won't you give me a chance?
Why are you treating me like this? How have I offended you?
Ho-ho.
I haven't cried in a long time. I know this is my last chance.
If I can't do my job well in the cart noodle restaurant,
I won't be able to go anywhere else.
So I have to train the muscles in my legs. I have to be able to carry the soda cases.
I've worked so hard already. But God won't give me a chance.
He wants me to collapse again. I hate Him so much.
Don't be like this. Take it easy.
You won't understand.
Have you ever asked God how long He wants to play you?
Do you want me dead? You want to play, right? Fine. Bring it on.
I never say it out loud before.
But in my heart, I often ask God why I can't live like a normal person.
Why is my fate so tough? Why do I have wounds all over my body?
What if I told you that some wounds can't be seen on the outside?
I really like riding on the carousel when I was a kid.
One day dad and mom took me to the playground to go on the carousel.
I was so happy and went with them. But that was my last time on the carousel.
Back then I was eight years old.
While I was sitting on the wooden horse, I saw dad and mom fighting.
When I returned after one round, they were fighting even more fiercely.
After another round, they were fighting like crazy.
They looked so terrible.
I still remember every sentence they said back then.
They wanted a divorce. Neither of them wanted me.
They pushed me to the other person like I was a ball. I was so unhappy.
I cried and left the playground.
When I got to the entrance of the playground, I met a strange guy.
He asked me if I was lost.
I vaguely remember that he said he would buy me ice-cream.
So I followed him.
Shortly afterwards, he took me to the hillside.
I started to panic. I was so scared. I wanted dad and mom.
But he wouldn't let me leave. He...He...
He...He didn't rape me. But I already felt so terrified.
It was so disgusting. I was so scared. So scared.
I was really scared for a couple of days.
I didn’t dare tell my parents because they were trying to get a divorce.
I was afraid that if I told them what had happened, they would abandon me.
In the end, when the three of us parted, I still didn't tell them.
This is the first time I've talked about this incident after all these years,
because I'm so ashamed.
I feel so much shame that I even hate myself.
I always thought that if I didn't talk about it,
then I could pretend it never happened.
Actually I was just fooling myself.
When I wake up in the middle of the night,
I still find it so terrible and disgusting.
I often ask myself what I did wrong.
I'm sorry, Madam Yiu.
I didn't know you had such a terrible experience.
But why did you tell me about it?
I have the courage to tell you this
because I know you won't look down on or discriminate against me.
You and I share the same fate.
The only difference is that your wound's on the outside and mine's inside.
No, Madam Yiu. You're much stronger than me.
At least I can complain about it.
But you have to tough it out on your own.
I want you to know that you shouldn't take things on their face value.
There might be people who are working so much harder
to use their so-called normal appearance to cover up their wounds inside.
Ho-ho, I understand how you feel. Let's work hard together.
Don't give up. Let's carry on.
OK.
You want to practice again?
Yes. I'm going to practice until the restaurant opens.
I won't keep you then. Keep it up.
OK...Madam Yiu, I think you need to find someone you trust
and tell him your experience.
Otherwise, you won't know what will happen
when someday your scar catches up with you again.
I'll consider that.
Will you tell your boyfriend?
Don't you think men will be traumatized if you tell them something like that?
