The one who is eating in class,
please quiet down.
Don't disturb
those sleeping behind you.
Who is it this time?
Bring your phone up here.
Teacher, I'm sorry.
I turned it off,
we can continue.
From now on, in class,
your phone must be put on mute.
You see, suddenly it rings,
even yourself is scared.
Right?
Alright, everyone focus here.
Stop transforming.
Which one of you
has seen these questions?
Why is Zhao Rong Bao so awful?
Xiao Qi.
Everyone.
Look at this.
Lin Miao Miao.
It seems that you know the answer.
Come on, solve this,
for the class.
That's good.
If you understand it, then so is everyone.
Come on.
Come here.
Hurry up.
Teacher, I want to go to the toilet.
Then today we stop here.
Class is over. │ Stand up.
Goodbye, teacher.
Goodbye.
Radio,
radio, you saved me.
Amitabha.
I bow to you.
Xiao Qi, tonight,
I'm buying you chicken legs.
I spent all my dignity of this month,
all gone.
You can't refuse. Let's go.
I'm telling you,
I have to regain my dignity.
But chicken legs are high in calories.
They're not.
I'm not afraid, I can help you eat them.
Who are you?
Nice to meet you, I'm Jiang Tian Hao.
You're Deng Xiao Qi, right?
Hello, I'm Lin Miao Miao
We met while arranging the desks this morning.
Right, Lin Miao Miao
Where did the cat come from?
If I'm a cat then what are you?
A dog? Woof woof.
Stop yelling, he's deaf.
Whose deaf dog is that?
Qian San Yi.
Is he popular?
Of course.
He is the celebrity that our school
paid a lot of money to invite here.
Why is he a celebrity?
He had the top score in the high school entrance exam in our area.
So that's it.
It's not that great.
I'm telling you,
he is the "next-door kid"
our parents keep bringing up.
Right.
Prime comparing material,
creating disagreements in the family,
squashing the children's confidence.
So true.
He is the national enemy,
Punishable. │ By death.
Those with high IQ,
their EQ is pitiable.
Why does everyone
have to give up their phones,
but he can use it?
Top student gets the exception.
He's not that great.
I'm the city's champion.
I'm holding the record
in two subjects.
No wonder his manners are so terrible.
Even at school, he is not civil.
Doesn't deserve
the Qing Ying name.
That's right.
Just because his grade are high,
and he can do whatever he want?
Right.
Qian San Yi may not need to arrange the desks,
can use his phone freely,
can even not participate in morning runs.
We have to stay at school,
and he just has to monopolize a bed.
That's too much special treatment.
Tha't right.
Such an intelligent boy,
cool and handsome.
Is he as handsome as me?
Ha ha.
Actually, from this angle,
look really similar to Wang Li Hong, right?
Ah.
Let's go to the canteen, my treat.
No, I need to take a shower.
You won't come with us, Xiao Qi?
Your treat, right?
You
don't know about my abilities.
I didn't say anything.
You did, I heard it.
No, no.
You shameless liar.
Thank you.
God,
Your serving is way too much.
The person distributing rice keeps shaking.
My full scoop is shaken into half a scoop.
Even a lovely girl like Deng Xiao Qi
is ignored.
I'm telling you.
I'm a regular here.
The canteen's staff has become my family.
How has her become family to you?
It's a long story, I...
Come on, talk.
I started studying at Qing Ying secondary school,
Qing... │Yes, and this year,
I'm here as an athletic student.
I didn't have to take the entrance exam.
An athletic student? Which sport?
See, basketball, track and field, soccer.
I can play them all professionally.
I'm not boasting,
in many sports, I can
reach the level of a national athlete.
Cool. │ You haven't seen it.
In short-distance runs, really...
just one stride,
extremely fast, you know?
It's really long.
You mean this?
I'm telling you,
in this field,
I feel that the top spot is really lonely,
so cold.
That sounds cheap.
I'm leaving first.
What...
Long legs, huh?
No ma'am, my leg cramped.
Even eating cannot shut you mouth.
Try going to that table again.
Eat your meal.
What' wrong? Don't talk.
Here, boys and girls
cannot eat at the same table.
It's just eating.
Such strict rules for a small place.
So restricting.
Just bear it.
You'll get used to it.
I can't.
I have to save mysel.
You don't like chicken leg, right?
Here, you can have it.
I'm home.
Went out?
What are you doing over here?
Watching the sunset.
Wait, you didn't prepare dinner?
What are we eating tonight?
It's dinner time already?
I'm back from work.
Our kid is not home,
do we have to cook meals?
I can make you a bowl of noodles.
I can't take it anymore.
We only have bland meals for days,
without any vegetable.
Look, she just left,
and the trash bin is empty.
Say, can a child
create that much rubbish?
If you don't make food,
how can there be rubbish?
She doesn't call?
No, it can't be that something happen?
If there is, the school will
call.
I think you should call Tang Yuan Ming.
Ask him.
Mr. Tang, dinner.
Why are you sitting there?
Stop watching.
Jiao Jiao, go get your father.
Dad, dinner.
Alright Jiao Jiao. │ Let's eat dinner.
Alright, I'm coming.
Last question.
Alright, come on.
Hello.
Big sister.
I haven't see Miao Miao for some days.
Yes.
My sister calls again?
Your sister,
just want to ask about Miao Miao.
At he beginning, they insisted on
sending Miao Miao to my high school.
You know,
my school is hard to get in.
Moreover,
they don't live in the area.
It requires a lot of efforts.
Your school is good.
If your university acceptance rate is low,
no one will go there.
Isn't that
the result of
us teachers' efforts?
If not, then who would fight for a place here?
Recently your salary
has gone up a lot,
it's related to that, right?
More knowledge means more work.
From now on,
if you need something just buy it.
No need to worry about money.
I don't need anything.
I'm planning on
buying an insurance for Jiao Jiao.
That's good.
I don't need an insurance, I want a new dress.
We will buy a new dress, too.
And an insurance, okay?
You tell me,
what is Miao Miao doing at school?
Can she eat canteen's food?
Are there many people in the bathroom?
When she turn the tap,
she mustn't get burned.
At this age, she has never
bee far from home for that long.
These days,
how is she living?
I think it's not that
she can be away from you,
but you can't be away from her.
She is 16.
Don't think of her as a breastfed infant.
Are you making too much milk?
Annoying.
She is alone at school.
I'm worried to death,
and you're indifferent.
Just eat and sleep without care.
How can she be alone?
There're so many people at school.
I mean at school,
they're protected.
I can't think anymore.
I keep thinking of bad things.
Such a worrywart.
We're living in peace.
The school is closed.
If you're that worried,
then if this is the time,
with the Zhang Ai Ling you like,
the time of "Love in a Fallen City",
you must have been worried to death for real.
You can still make jokes now?
You men have never
worried about your children.
Didn't you say
no news is good news?
I think you're always worrying too much.
If you have a son,
then you definitely won't be
worrying about Lin Miao Miao now.
Am I just sitting around
and have nothing to do?
Lin Miao Miao
told me
she would call me everyday.
But it's been 3 days,
and I haven't heard from her.
Who's that?
A real estate agent, how annoying.
Stop calling, I don't want to buy a house.
It's me, mom.
Why didn't you pick up?
I've been waiting forever.
A long line is behind me.
Miao Miao.
Why didn't you call until now?
I'm telling you,
my phone was taken away.
My school doesn't allow us to use our phone.
I borrowed my friend's card,
use the payphone.
Your phone was taken away?
Are you used to living there now?
Not at all.
Then are there any good news,
tell me?
Hurry up.
I'm a class monitor. | Hurry up.
That's good?
Which one are you?
The Labour Vice-Monitor.
I'm hanging up.
Alright, aright.
Thank you, thank you.
She hung up.
You go out
buy our daughter a calling card.
Where can I buy one now?
Leave it for tomorrow.
Our daughter for the first time
became a class monitor.
I heard, a Labour Vice-Monitor.
Just need to be a monitor, ranks don't matter.
A Labour Vice-Monitor is good.
I'm telling you,
being a class monitor
means that she is not getting into troubles.
It's a good thing.
At home,
she doesn't do anything.
Now she's a Labour Vice-Monitor.
Note it down
in your phone,
buying a calling card for her tomorrow.
I can remember it in my head.
Which book did I just read again?
Through the surveys of the past days,
I have carefully evaluated
clubs' activities
of many kinds in our school.
Now,
a Q&A session with the reporters
after the survey.
My darlings,
ask anything you want.
I plan to
apply to the student committee and the Youth League.
You want to be an officer?
Even if you were accepted,
you still wouldn't get any extra point for university.
If you want extra points,
your parents have to be martyrs.
But what if they recruit students independently?
Your results may be too low.
How can you understand?
Those who can shoulder great responsibilities,
from childhood, on their cuffs
already have a 5-dash card.
Even though you're smart,
but do you have one?
I don't, do you?
I don't,
so I don't want to be an officer.
My Lin family
for generations
hasn't had any officer.
Myself,
from childhood, my highest rank was
our class' Vice-Monitor.
Hey, if I
along with
the Youth League's teachers
sit around a round table,
appearing serious,
and discuss
our school's annual plans,
or the direction we'll go.
Just the thought of it makes me laugh.
Even my growth plan
I haven't figured out yet.
I have no time for that.
Even if someone come look for candidates,
asking Master Lin to come down the mountain,
I won't do it.
I'm having a headache right now.
I don't even know
which one I should join.
Maybe you should apply to
the natural science group.
You can even improve your academic perfromance.
Don't you harm her.
On Sun Wu Kong's head
there's only one Five Elements Mountain.
But on our head
there are 3.
Physics, chemistry, biology.
I really want to tear them apart,
knock them down,
then step on them.
Now I'm waiting
for the classes to be divided into natural and social science.
Then everyone will rise up and sing the victory song.
Bazar hey.
I hate Maths, too.
We still have to study Maths in social science class.
Who doesn't?
Then what do you think about this?
There are cosplay, filming,
magic, and even a literature club.
Those club
might become your second class.
Hobbies, interests,
just pick whatever you like.
But seriously, nothing sounds fun.
Miao Miao.
Then I will apply to the dance club.
What about you?
Try the anime club.
No no no, the school
only give each of us one chance.
I will give it too
the radio station.
Welcome everyone,
for being here.
Our station's job,
you can look at
the content on the board.
Do not disregard it.
Our station's job
is to instantly convey
to all students
the attention of the school board
to the education of students.
At the same time,
we have to understand
what their recent interests are,
their recent concerns,
then edit it into short news,
and post it.
With that,
you're also required to
have editing skills,
prompt and delicate.
Today,
I need to test your voice.
Let's see.
There is a sheet of paper in front of you.
Later, when I call your name,
read it aloud.
Call the next,
then you stop,
and the next person continue.
Understand?
Understood.
Cao Xiao Hui. | Yes.
You first.
Read it.
Teacher, let me skim it first.
Why do you need to skim it?
What I need is your reflex,
your immediate reflex.
If you skim it
then what is the meaning of my competition?
Read.
Above the vast ocean,
the wind swirling around black clouds.
Between the clouds and the ocean,
the seagulls are black lightning strikes,
arrogantly spread their wings.
Their wings meet the waves,
soar through the black clouds,
like arrows.
They scream,
in the cries... | Alright, stop.
Liu Heng Fu, who is Liu Heng Fu?
Liu Heng Fu. | Yes.
Yes. | It's you.
Read it, immediately, don't stall.
Read.
They scream.
In the brave cries
of those birds,
the black clouds hear the joy
in those screams.
Full of desire for the storm.
In those screams,
the black clouds hear the power of rage,
the heat of enthusiasm,
and belief in victory.
The seagulls sing,
before the storm comes.
Stop.
Lin Miao Miao
Who is Lin Miao Miao?
You, you, right away.
Read.
Basketball.
Basketball, basketball, basketball.
Radio station, radio station.
Student committee.
Yes, yes, Lin Miao Miao.
Yes!
Congrats, congrats.
Excuse me.
Teacher,
I have a shift at the radio station today.
Please excuse me.
Goodbye, teacher.
What are you looking at?
Apply to the station if you're good enough.
Focus.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Jing Ying High radio station.
Today is our first time.
Next is a song of May Day.
Everytime I sit in front of the micro,
my voice follow the electromagnetic waves.
Flying up and down.
Reaches every corners of the school.
This is my favor to you.
Mr. Miao,
would you like to favor me only?
Of course, of course.
You will only favor me, alright?
Only me, only me.
You almost pushed me down.
Horrible.
What's wrong? Miao Miao.
Actually,
it's just a 20-minute break,
but it's such a rare freedom.
When I see
the tired, admiring,
moanful gazes of people,
then I know
so those aliens
are human after all.
You don't know,
when I come to the canteen and te bathroom
completely void of people,
I feel like,
the whole fish bowl
is taken over by me.
Such a shame it's only once a week.
If I could do it everyday,
it'd be awesome.
You didn't see
after you left,
the hopeless and helpless
look of Mr. Zhao at your back.
It's our school rules.
No matter how strict Mr. Zhao's rules are in class,
they still have to follow the school, right?
One against three.
One against four.
Right at the front.
Such a coincidence.
Mom, I want to eat stew,
steamed fish, fried shrimps.
I want chicken soup, too.
Can you quiet down?
I'm making a call.
Yes, canteen food
is bland, there's nothing.
Same dishes everyday, it's boring.
Oh my, poor you.
Darling, what do you want to eat?
I will make it.
I'm telling you.
It's really far from home.
When you come back tomorrow,
I will tell your father to pick you up.
No need, I and my friend,
we can go by bus.
Do you know the way?
I can ask if I don't.
It's really far, you'll have to switch buses.
I know.
I'm not alone.
Deng Xiao Qi's house is close.
I'm telling you, the first time,
you must let dad go with you.
Or I will tell him to drive you back.
Clear?
Pick one of them, there's no third option.
Lin Miao Miao, give me my card.
Here, thank you.
Bye-bye.
Let's go eat.
I don't think it's necessary.
Jiang Zhou is big,
where can she go?
I just read the news on my phone.
A few days ago there was a girl,
something, I'm telling you.
Where are you going?
Buying food.
Now you can order online
on the phone.
They will deliver it.
I like buying things for our daughter.
But you don't like buying things for me?
Our daughter is the blood and flesh
from my body.
But you're not.
I'm something you throw in the trash bin.
There's a lot of expensive cars.
Hello. | Where are you?
Doing your mission.
Picking up Miao Miao
I thought
My picking up Miao Miao is special.
But apparently not.
People are waiting for their children outside the gates.
I even see whole families.
Old and young.
That's confusing.
Don't those people have work
On Friday afternoon?
Goodbye to our youth.
Fly away, our dreams.
Embrace our futures.
Bye, bye.
Hurry up.
Tonight,
what are you having for dinner?
Why are you so gluttonous?
You are hungry, aren't you?
Yep, that's true, I'm starving.
Hello.
I'm outside, where are you?
At the gates.
Count down.
Start counting down.
Let's make dinner!
Dad.
How are you?
Did you miss me?
This is my dad.
This is Jiang Tian Hao.
Hello, sir!
Hello.
How are you going back?
By bus.
My family car is over there.
Let me take you back.
There's no need, thank you.
Go home first. | Then I'm going!
Goodbye.
Bye Miao Miao
Let's go.
Your classmate?
We're home. | Mom!
My dear daughter!
Come sit down.
I'm hungry!| Wash your hands.
Wash your hands.
Eat the pig legs.
I'm making chicken soup.
Okay.
It's done?
You don't have to fan me.
It feels weird.
You have just been away for a few days.
Why is it weird?!
Delicious?
Turn on the AC.
Why do yo have to use fan?!
Don't turn it on.
It's almost autumn.
AC blast is too cold.
Fan is lighter.
Miao, is it good?
After, when you go home,
just let dad drive you.
I kept count.
From the school to home,
it takes 2 hours.
Way too time-consuming.
My chicken soup.
The bus is crowded.
There's no seat.
See, many parents
drove there to pick their children up.
Why can't I
drive you home?
But you saw,
students all take the bus.
Didn't you see?
On the bus, you're the only adult.
It's embarrassing.
Deng Xiao Qi's dad,
Da Ben too,
they all take the bus.
Your school...
is full of rich people.
I saw so many expensive cars.
Are those rich kids hard to study with?
My class...
Aside from the top score student,
the others are nice.
Hurry up and eat.
It's been five days,
you don't get to eat my meal.
Now they're really delicious, right?
Hurry up.
You're away for 5 days...
Your mother kept mentioning you.
Do you know?
She mentioned you everyday.
So worried for you.
Looked at the timetable everyday.
You're also sad.
I was normal.
You're adults, you must be independent.
Alright?
Don't be so dependent on your children.
Excuse me for my criticism to you.
Usually, my dad
has this hobby,
which is drawing.
But you don't have any.
Your dad is a fat middle-age man,
who wants to seem polished.
He only draws twice a year,
his paints dried up.
I wipe away the ash.
Wait. | That's enough, I can't eat more.
My hobby is you.
The hobby that is other people,
that's the endless source of joy.
Mom.
What's wrong?
Mosquito bite?
It's the season.
I'm telling you,
when you go to bed at night,
remember to use the bed net.
Tuck it in.
Understand?
I'm telling you,
From the begining of summer,
mosquitoes love me.
I plead with them to spare me,
but they don't listen,
keep biting.
Here here, can't you see it?
It's fine.
How is living with your friends?
Are the teachers good to you?
I'm well loved.
I got many duties.
Right.
I'm the room chief, the Labour Vice-Monitor,
and a radio station staff.
Room chief and radio station staff.
Why did they make our child...
do so many things outside her specialty?
Why are they outside my specialty?
You know,
at the radio station, there's a lot competition,
I had to try hard to get in.
You got in,
that means you're better than them.
Those mountain already conquered
will forever stay behind you.
But I like this mountain.
Pick an academic mountain.
Alright?
Like literature club,
or maths club, right?
I'm not changing it.
It's past the registration period anyway,
can't change anymore.
Why can't you?
I will go talk with your school.
Train and plane tickets can be changed.
Alright alright.
Can you please...
not interfere with my business?
How can I not?!
Your business
is my business.
You're young,
still haven't have the ability
to do everything yourself.
Right, don't make decisions so easily.
Everything, you must
discuss with adults.
Then you report back.
What are you doing?
I told you everything.
Honestly. | Water, tea, where are they?
But this...
You haven't discussed with me.
I didn't know.
What should I report first,
what should I report later?
Moreover,
my phone was taken away.
I can't call you.
Ah, right.
Da Wei,
her calling card,
did you buy it?
I did, I'll give it to her later.
I'm telling you.
You have to call me everyday.
I can't.
My teacher said,
we have to focus on studying.
You can't distract me.
Then once every two days.
If you don't call,
then I will.
I can answer even if you do.
Where are the tea cups?
Over there.
It's true, I'm not lying.
My teacher said,
boarding school
helps improve independence,
of both children and parents.
If you're on the phone everyday,
chatting,
then go home early.
If you want to rent a tattered room
near my school,
and stay there with me,
I won't mind.
Stop talking, eat.
They won't be as tasty cold.
Even good food
can't shut her mouth.
One of her...
already talk all over others.
You told me to talk,
now you tell me I talk too much.
Did you wash your hands?
There are so many bacteria on the bus.
Back of the seats, the handles,
sticky with sweat.
And you are holding that leg.
Even worse.
Don't you feel disgusting?
Go wash your hands.
You told me to eat.
You wipe my hands with paper towel.
Did you forget?
You have to wash them with water and soap.
Go wash your hands!
Come on, wash your hands.
Then you can come back.
Stayed at school for a week,
and you forgot all the house rules?
Do you remember the steps?
Twice with soap,
rub for 1 minute,
Soak for 2 minute.
I haven't finished, what's wrong with you?
Let her eat in peace.
I'm not done, 1 minute.
I'm done.
That's fast, don't wave them.
Legs down!
I just need to stop eating then.
What? You can't talk back anymore?
So many tasty dishes.
Come eat some more. | I'm full.
Food at school are hard to eat.
Do you brush your teeth?
Three times a day,
did you follow it?
I'm telling you,
stop lying on the bed and surfing web.
Finish your homework.
Why is your stomach so big?
Eating so heartily, huh?
I'm just leeching on her luck.
She's home,
can eat anything I want.
She's gone,
can only eat whatever is there.
You've done a lot.
But she doesn't like it
because of this mouth of yours.
Who is she like?
Me.
Then I'm also scolding you.
You two hard-headed Lin people.
Is there no meat in the soup?
Don't touch my soup.
I'm just eating the meat.
There's a chicken leg.
Do you want it?
No.
How many times have I tell you?
Don't read magazines
on the bed.
It's new, it won't get dirty.
How can it not?
It was put on the newsstand.
Many people touched it.
There's a nylon wrap.
Then what bout before they wrapped it?
So many printing stages,
then transporting,
it's so dirty.
This bed...
I've just changed the sheet.
Then I'm doing my homework now, alright mom?
Stop reading these useless books.
You're high school student now.
When doing homework,
then don't listen to music.
Take off your earphones.
I'm not listening anything, I'm blocking out disturbance.
So my words are disturbance.
No, they're all wise words.
Stop playing with you phone.
Keep beeping all the time.
Who are you texting?
Deng Xiao Qi, my roomate.
Didn't you meet
everyday at school?
Just seperated a bit,
and there're already so much to say?
We are talking about school work.
In the exam room...
can you discuss with others?
Start learning to think independently.
You're bothering me. | Fine, I'm leaving.
My comic.
Sleep sleep sleep.
It's half pass nine and she's still asleep.
She's a high school student now.
It's Saturday.
Let her sleep in.
Don't be so strict with her.
Aside from eating and sleeping,
she can't do anything.
Who is she like, I wonder?
So from now on our family...
every time Miao Miao is back from school,
has to go through three acts.
What acts?
First act: Happy reunion.
When the sun goes down, she comes through the door.
The two of you will treat each other like guests.
Hugging and crying.
This will last till dinner.
Or the next morning at best.
Then it'll end.
That's right, at this time.
Lin Miao Miao, wake up.
Don't make your mom angry.
Second act: You start fighting.
Warm bread, fresh milk, smoked chicken.
I can't wake up, mom.
Saturday morning,
I wake up
in a big room,
the female servant in the house...
brings me a glass of unidentified liquid.
What is today's breakfast?
My royal servant?
Red apple and peanuts.
Walnuts are good for the brain.
Help your brain.
No!
This servant must be replaced!
Did you defecate today?
Not yet.
Then after brushing your teeth, you go squat down for a while.
You have to follow the time.
Feces are toxic.
It staying inside
will harm your body.
I will turn on the fan.
Hurry up.
Miao Miao, did you defecated?
Did you was your hands?
How many times?
I followed
everything you said.
Good.
Miao Miao.
How many times did you go today?
It's bad for my body if you can't defecate.
