[Episode Recap]
Give me a reason, why are you special?
Three. Two.
How come Class 5 can change?
"To pursue courage and freedom." Isn't that Zhen Hua's motto?
If you have the guts, then never go back!
Many things in life are out of our control.
I will try hard to go in the direction I want.
I believe that one day
I'll finally become the person I want to become.
But, Mr. Pan. We have a basketball match tomorrow.
Can you take photos of me playing basketball?
But you promised me last time, you said I could go to the final game.
- Wow, you were so good. - You're awesome!
Let's go!
When Chen Ho Nan got hurt
his girlfriend took care of him the same way.
Isn't there a single good one?
No.
A student from our school committed suicide after an exam.
[With You]

- Ouch. - What are you doing?
Did you hear?
After doing badly in the last midterm
a student killed himself.
He was an academic competition team student.
His grades were always sort of unstable.
He didn't do well one time and couldn't take it anymore.
Oh, but your grades have been pretty consistent.
This student. I don't recycle papers.
Please go sell it somewhere else.
It's all because of that Mr. Pan.
He kept making me take photos.
I didn't even have time to do practice exams.
Physics, geography, math.
I didn't do any of them.
Are you sure you would know...
how to do these if you'd been in class?
You should stop hanging out with that Lu Xing He.
Why?
You keep hanging out with him.
Aren't you afraid you won't get into college?
Why are you being so mean?
If you don't get it together, I'll be even meaner.
Associated High School of Normal University's school rank
is only 0.7 percent lower than ours.
They have also broken their record
and achieved an over 90 percent outstanding student rate.
Look at our practice exams.
Is this the standard at our Zhen Hua?
The Associated School has already spread the word.
They'll surpass us in three years.
We're in a very passive position.
Zhang Ping!
Yes.
I finally know what "the beam rots from the top" means.
Why is your Class 5 always so crazy?
If Class 5 ruins Zhen Hua's reputation
can you take responsibility for it?
Yes, sir. I'll be more strict with them.
Oh yeah. That Geng Geng from your class.
Tell her to come see me.
Wait. What are you doing? We're in the middle of a meeting!
There's another matter.
[Episode 5: Let the brain develop a bit more, it'll be fine!]
Shh!
Peach wood sword.
Class 5 students, at the height of our youths
ask for the God of Passing Grades.
We'll do well on this exam.
- Whose eraser is this? - Mine.
Take it away.
You bit into it halfway and yet you brought it here.
It's blasphemy! Don't you know?
Boring.
Oh, gods. Someone is snickering at our respect for you.
Please don't help her on this exam.
- You! - What?
Come, read with me.
- Abracadabra... - Abracadabra...
What are you doing?
I have no choice. I'm making a frantic last minute effort.
If I don't do well on this exam, my parents will kill me.
- Don't touch! - What are you guys doing?
Are you guys still playing around?
What is all this?
Jiang Nian Nian. You've had this practice exam for a week.
How many problems did you do?
You guys promised me before.
When you wanted to switch seats before. Did you all forget what you said?
If you don't do well on the midterm
you'll all switch back to your original seats!
- Geng Geng. - Yes?
Mr. Pan wants you to go to his office.
We can't let things continue like this.
If you can't get their grades up in a month, I'll fire you both.
Do you guys know?
There are only 1,000 days left till the college entrance exam.
Aren't you guys worried at all?
- Did he take the wrong medicine? - Do not talk in class.
The fifth problem.
A is receiving the static friction to the left.
B is receiving the sliding friction to the left.
And the static friction to the right. Next problem.
Wait. Mr. Zhang. I still don't really get the last problem.
A is receiving the static friction to the left.
We've talked about this so many times.
How do you still not get it?
It's because I missed class.
Then you should listen right now. Why are you talking to me?
That's because you--
Do you understand it now?
You're never going to get it.
Were you even listening?
Stand up.
- Good-bye Mr. Zhang. - Good-bye Mr. Zhang.
You need to help me.
With the photos?
I'm really scared to go see Mr. Pan.
And I haven't even studied for the midterm.
What's there to study for the midterm?
Geez. What should I do?
Okay. Don't worry about it anymore.
I'll be the good guy till the end. I'll help you.
But how should I help you?
Hey! Oh, hey--
Let me tell you guys something.
I found out that Mr. Zhang got bullied by Mr. Pan.
- Bullied? - Why?
Mr. Pan had a meeting with Zhang Ping, Zhang Feng, and the rest of the teachers.
And he scolded Zhang Ping.
If we don't do well on this midterm, then Zhang Ping will be in big trouble.
So that's why he was acting like he got his period today.
It's people like you.
Can we all just try a little bit harder?
And not make things too difficult for Zhang Ping?
Are you done?
If we all just review one more area...
we can get one more multiple choice question right.
And if we can each get one more problem right
then we can each get two more points.
Do you know what those two points would mean for our class?
What does it mean?
Then we can surpass Classes 1 and 2.
One. Two. Three. You got all three problems wrong.
That's 12 points off. Lowering the class average by 0.33333.
Stop flipping through it randomly.
Here.
Can you use your time wisely?
You really don't have much time.
I know.
Hurry! You can either eat while you teach me, or teach me while you eat.
- Choose one. - Can I eat my noodles first?
- I'll teach you. - Wait. No.
Why do you let him teach you, but not me?
It's our class shame. We can't let others know.
Why is your formula wrong again?
I've explained this problem to you so many times.
There are 108 ways to do this formula.
What?
What's wrong?
What?
My shoelaces were untied.
Let me tell you. You're fine.
You just haven't finished developing yet.
In two years, your brain will have developed a bit more, and you'll be fine.
Who doesn't have a brain? Say it again.
Geng Geng. Come here.
Mr. Pan.
Didn't Mr. Zhang tell you to come see me?
He did. But when I went to your office, you weren't there.
Where are the pictures?
I'm still waiting to send them
to the Department of Education and the Evening News.
I went to get them developed these past few days.
But the place I went to... their machine was broken.
- Broken? - Yes.
Then you can take the film to another place to get it developed.
The other pictures aren't as important, just make sure to get the group picture.
- Mr. Pan. - Mr. Pan.
Are you like me, always trying to seek?
To seek an unexpected gentleness.
Must these things happen all at once?
Geng Geng, you're back.
Here.
Didn't you go to work today, Auntie?
I'm off today.
I miss you.
Is your dad not treating you well? Or is it his new wife?
No. They're both good to me.
I just miss you.
Look at you kid.
You miss me for ten minutes, and you call for ten minutes.
Now, half an hour has passed.
Sorry! I was just cleaning the phone. You guys talk. You guys talk.
Okay. Study well. Let's hang up now.
[Dark Room Special Effects]
Why are you hiding out here? I didn't know our school had a place like this.
There's a lot you don't know about Zhen Hua.
I see why you're never in your Class 2. I looked all over for you.
Why? Do you look for me a lot?
Can you do me a favor? Can you invite the Japanese delegation to come out?
So I can take more pictures, and combine them together.
Combine them together?
With this.
Use darkroom effects to combine the people in the picture.
Wow.
Let's just take the pictures again, and then try to figure this out.
But you would need so many things.
Solution, pan, red bulb, and enlarger.
But there's no other way. This is our last resort.
Okay. I can find these things for you.
But there are so many heads, will you be able to combine all of them?
Why don't you just tell all of them to pose the same way
and then add Mr. Pan to it?
- That makes sense. - Yes.
I've never seen you guys loving studying this much before.
Wait, Geng Geng. Don't leave. Yu Huai signed you up for this too.
- Look at the class times. - Over there.
He signed me up for what?
Mr. Zhang organized a review session. We can all volunteer to attend.
Both Jian Dan and I signed up. You should go with us.
- Review session? - Yes.
I'm going too. But I'm only going to support you guys that are left behind.
Go away.
Wait. Wait. Don't sign me up yet. I might not be able to go.
Why are you not going?
Your grades are horrible. Why are you not reviewing?
I don't have time.
I think you've used all your time to play around.
Was I playing around?
Ouch.
You actually sounded nervous when you mentioned the midterm yesterday.
Please step aside.
You left two thirds of the practice exam blank.
At this rate, you'll get 60 percent, at most, on the physics exam.
You should know I'm not just trying to scare you.
Don't jinx it. Your Chinese grades aren't that great either.
Here. These are all basic problems.
If there's anything you don't understand, ask me anytime.
Basic problems?
What are you mumbling about?
Are these not easy?
You're really helping her a lot. You must like Geng Geng. (In Japanese)
She's so dumb. How could I like her?
I think I heard my name. What did she say?
She said, you're so irresponsible, making everyone wait here like this.
I'm really sorry. It's my fault, I've bothered everyone.
You don't have to apologize.
Geng Geng, can you take a picture for me?
Okay.
Okay. Thank you.
I'm sorry. Can everyone please pose again, like in this picture?
Let's take another picture posing like we did in this photo.
How come you guys haven't explained this to Mr. Pan?
He said it's only because I worked so hard helping them these days...
It's all because of me that they were willing to come out today.
- Thank you for coming, Sir. - Not at all.
She said she's afraid Mr. Pan will give her physical punishment.
They still give physical punishments in China?
Will you make this kind of mistake again?
I won't make this kind of mistake again.
Mr. Pan sometimes disciplines us to strengthen our minds.
You're really doing a lot for this girl.
She said that I'm very good to you.
Stop spewing nonsense.
One, two, three.
Come here.
Why haven't you been coming to the review?
Mr. Zhang, I...
I just have to work with the Japanese delegation for one more day.
Ah.
I didn't have it on the wrong setting again, did I?
Have you figured out this problem yet?
Look clearly. Add a line here.
All right, all right. Just let me do it myself later.
Show me the problems you got wrong after school.
I have other things to do after school.
Okay. Just keep playing around.
I basically understand this. We can give it a try.
I got most of the stuff together already.
I just need Mr. Pan now.
But I don't know how to get a shot of him.
Just get a shot of him from a distance.
I can't. My lens can't reach far enough.
Yu Huai. You're not going home?
There's one more lab problem I want to finish.
Oh yeah. Is that Lu Xing He really popular in your class?
He's kind of different. Our Mr. Zhang really doesn't like him.
But he seems okay to me. He's an all right person.
What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?
Here.
No. The numbers are all wrong. I have to do it again.
Are you going to hit me again?
All right. Try this.
Let go. Ah hah, success!
Yay! Thank you, Uncle Geng!
What an all around good uncle!
What are you trying to say?
Just praising you, Dad.
Fan Fan. Geng Geng, you're back?
Why don't you wash your hands? Let's have dinner, okay?
All right, let's go, it's dinner time. Let's go, Lin Fan.
Let's go eat. Hurry and come eat.
Hello?
Mom.
What brings you here at this hour?
Here. I brought this for you.
I got you a new card. It's prepaid.
You can use this to call me from now on.
If you need anything in the future, and you don't want to ask your dad
you can call me, or text me.
Mom. I don't need anything.
[Geng Geng's got a little fever.]
[Where did you put the medicine?]
[Old Geng?]
[I'm almost home. Ask Geng Geng what dessert she would like.]
[I'll bring some home.]
Look at this problem again.
Mr. Zhang. Don't look now. I'll listen carefully when you explain later.
What is this?
Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping.
Let me tell you. Just review for one more day with them, okay?
You need to leave some time for me too.
Your students' math grades are scarier than ghosts.
You're the ghost.
What are you trying to say?
Eat this orange.
Is it sweet?
Ugh. So sour.
- Sour? - Yeah.
Is this problem for us?
It's jammed.
We shouldn't touch Mr. Zhang's stuff like that.
Why? Doesn't Mr. Zhang make problems for us to review?
This doesn't look like a basic problem.
Beta, I think we should stop. Mr. Zhang will come back soon.
What are you all so nervous about?
It's not like Mr. Pan would let Mr. Zhang
come up with questions for the midterm.
The God of Passing Grades is clearly helping us right now.
Just print it.
Beta. I don't think this is right. You should give it back to Mr. Zhang.
I want to study hard now. I'm sure I can solve this problem.
I can't even solve this problem.
What does whether or not you can solve it have to do with me?
Han Xu. Come look at this problem.
It's really difficult.
They wouldn't test us on something this hard.
This is a competition problem.
What problem? Let me try.
What competition problem?
You guys don't know how to solve it?
It's up to me then.
It's not going to work. I can't even get a good focus.
Then there's only one way.
What is it?
I've written everything out so clearly.
Is there anyone who still doesn't understand?
Um... why is that part...
Write everything down first. Just try to understand the method.
Let me write it.
Hey. Listen carefully. I'm passing on a message.
Let's all welcome our guests from Japan.
Now you remember our class.
Students. If we have basic musical knowledge, we can better...
I think this teacher is exaggerating in front of our guests.
Why do we have to learn to count these tadpoles to sing...
- To change from C major to F major... - Do you know what I can do?
You know everything.
Geng Geng. You should take more pictures.
Which student can come up and write this out?
You. Have you studied music theory?
No. But it's a basic math problem.
Show off.
Just add 5 to every X, and then bring it to the full note, half note relationship.
- Why don't you come up and write it out. - Okay.
Geng Geng. What are you doing? Take photos!
Okay.
You have all the notes in the correct position
but you missed the flat signs in front.
Exposed.
However, it's still a good idea to use math to solve a music problem. Good job.
Just trying to encourage you.
Your name is?
Yu Huai.
Oh. Yu Huai. So you've never learned to play an instrument?
I learned to play the Bruce harmonica by myself.
This must be the basketball guy that
Geng Geng wanted to take pictures for before. (In Japanese)
Don't you think he's a show off?
I don't think so. I think he's smart and handsome.
What are you guys saying?
She said that student is pretending to know of something he doesn't know.
Excuse me. Can I use the piano?
Geng Geng. Take photos.
Encore!
He's very good. Everyone's really great.
It was okay. They're just being polite.
Ah, your students perform even better.
I was good, wasn't I? Tell me. How much film did I take up?
Childish.
Geng Geng. Come here. Take a picture.
Okay.
One, two, three. Okay.
- Please sit down. - Please, you too.
- Geng Geng. - Geng Geng.
Hurry, let's go.
Let's go, why are you standing there?
Yu Huai. Those two are getting pretty close lately.
Where are you taking me?
- No way. - What's with you?
[Men's Toilet]
Do you want me to go to the girls' bathroom then?
There's no one in there.
- No, no, no. - It's okay!
- Just come in, there's no one in here. - Lu Xing He!
Let me tell you. Don't do anything out of line. I've taken women's self defense.
You're thinking too much.
Ta-da.
Why are you standing there? Come help me.
Oh.
Not bad.
Wait. How did that happen?
You're so dumb. The image is inverted through the convex lens.
Oh.
Why don't we just add Mr. Pan's head?
You can't see his body in the second row anyway.
What do you mean, just his head?
He looks like Tarzan.
What do we do? This isn't going to work. It isn't working at all.
Forget it. Let's do this.
Give me the film, I'll take care of it.
What else can you think of?
You don't have any ideas either, do you?
If you don't want to die, then trust me.
Uncle Geng, are you done?
Ah, almost.
I'm already done putting the tracks together.
All right.
- Hurry. - Okay.
- Dad. - Yeah.
I'm going to study now. I have very little time left. Don't be too loud.
Okay. Go study.
Wow, it's going so fast!
Wow.
Hurry, clean this up. You've played long enough.
It's okay. Let him play.
Hurry, clean this up.
How many times have I told you?
Don't disturb your sister while she's studying.
- Geng Geng. - Yeah.
Where have you been these days? How come I never see you after school?
I messed up the Japanese delegation's photos. I have to find a way to fix it.
Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?
I tried to tell you. But you left before I could finish.
If I had continued, you would've been mean again.
What is this, Beta?
It's an important question from the review.
You should take a good look at it. I think it will help with the midterm.
I can't do it.
And yet you're being so tough.
Move closer, let me show you.
Look here. Draw an axis here.
- B. - Smart.
Okay, it's late, let's go. The midterm is tomorrow.
There are so many problems you didn't even do. They're all empty.
You might as well just throw it out. It's just heavy.
Wait.
I'll walk you home.
Oh yeah. The song you played in music class last time was pretty nice.
That's good, you like the songs I like.
There's still hope for your taste.
So what song do you like now?
I think Beyond is pretty good.
What a coincidence. I like Beyond too.
Which of their songs do you like best?
I think "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "Glorious Years" are good.
But my favorite is still "Good Time Live."
You're really the first one to like the same songs as me.
So can you play that song on the harmonica next time?
Um, I actually only know how to play that one song on the harmonica.
Oh.
I thought it was weird too. It was the same exact problem.
Oh. Ah, who cares, I solved it.
I never solved a physics question so smoothly in middle school.
Where do you think Beta got the question? Even the numbers were exactly the same.
What's the problem with that?
Do you think Beta did something bad?
Let me tell you. That problem was actually pretty hard.
Don't think too much about it.
Wow, pretty good. Very good. Very good.
- Let's go. - Why?
Excellent.
Geng Geng?
Come here!
It'll be okay.
Mr. Pan.
I see why you kept holding out on giving me the pictures.
You wanted to give me a surprise, didn't you?
This is excellent. Come take a look.
This is wonderful.
I'll have the Evening News come to take pictures tomorrow.
When did you two start working together?
Those Japanese teachers took so many pictures of this
they even wanted to take it back to Japan.
You did a great job with this. I have faith in you.
Hey, hey.
Let me tell you guys. Lu Xing He from my class is the one who made this.
He did... an okay job.
But I still think that picture of me making a basketball shot was better.
Geng Geng. You should be more careful next time.
If you weren't so careless this time
your name wouldn't have had to be connected to this guy's.
What is this Geng Geng-Xing He?
Childish.
Older sister. This one's the most stable, you use it.
Let's race.
One, two, three, go.
Older sister, you win.
Hello, Mom?
Let me tell you, I did really well on the midterm this time.
I even solved the last big problem on the physics exam.
[Zheng Hua High School]
[Preview]
This Friday is the 88th anniversary of Zhen Hua.
Can any of you think of a good performance to do?
I've written a script before.
Hey!
What's with you?
Haven't you heard? It's being spread everywhere now.
That I'm chasing after you?
Let's invite our producer to speak with us.
Can everyone stop messing around first?
Stop messing around!
You didn't even memorize it.
You're the only one who's serious about our rehearsal these days.
- Hurry and eat it. - Where did you get this?
This one? Over there.
- What? - What?
Can you give me a little time? I will give you an answer.
- Do you know? - Hm?
I actually really like...
