Our Shiny Days
Episode 10
Light of Friendship
This is my favorite suit.
Since you want to watch it so much,
I wear it.
Take it that
I thank you.
Too beautiful.
You are a fairy.
This room is lit up because of you.
Chen Jing.
You are noisy.
Have you seen it enough?
I'll change it then.
Stop.
Why not go out in this dress?
We should go to rehearse later.
Dress like this at school?
Forget it.
They must take me as a monster.
Your happiness is more important.
No.
Not everyone
is like you living like…
A fool.
Daughter can be so cute in such a dress.
Your mom should be happy.
Why don't you dare to tell your mom that you were cheated?
Your mom has nice look and good temperament.
I even want to keep her autography.
I don't want to worry her.
Why?
If we worry parents at our age,
they will be afraid.
They will be worried if we have some surprised moves.
My mom
is already hard.
One, two, three.
Let's go now.
There are so many people here. You are not enough to be a joke.
Forget such showing things.
I don't understand.
Don't listen to your dad.
As long as it doesn't bother others,
you can wear whatever you want.
Hi, you there.
Aunt.
Look at my niece.
She is dressed up to her grandma's home.
My gosh.
You two can sing on stage.
Coming.
Mom.
Sorry, I am late.
I'll work now.
Forget it.
In such a dress,
you don't need to work.
Don't get your hands dirty.
Good grandsons.
My dear baby.
Mom.
Come in.
Did you tell your wife
what I told you last time?
What to say?
How old are we?
It is the time for Yueta to spend money.
What money?
Girls can't spend money.
You just can't control your wife
but make her rebel
and send Yueta to Beijing
to learn music.
What can she do although she studies well?
She can achieve nothing.
Ultimately, she is a girl.
These leather shoes
are pretty particular.
Why is she going to Beijing?
Go to learn Pipa.
We don't have good teachers here.
These leather shoes look valuable.
What can such a little kid know?
She can't wear them after a short period of time.
How wasteful.
I let her dress well when she is a kid,
so that she won't yield herself when she is grown.
Dear passengers,
our train
will arrive at Beijing Station.
Please take your belongings
and get ready to get off.
Come on. Wake up.
Ready to get off.
We are arrived?
Wake up, baby.
Mom, I want to wear shoes.
Otherwise, I won't be able to get off in a while.
Okay, let's wear shoes.
Mom, are you tired?
No. It's early now.
The store has not opened yet.
Let's go to class first.
After class, let's buy shoes.
Okay?
Okay.
Mom, buy cheap shoes.
Otherwise they should be stolen again.
Do you like beautiful little shoes?
Yes.
But I'm afraid you will be scolded by my dad.
Then we'll buy beautiful shoes.
You will want to go further in beautiful shoes.
Even if the road is not easy,
you will feel better
once you think you
have worn beautiful shoes, right?
Mom, after I grow up,
I will wear beautiful skirts
and beautiful leather shoes every day.
Then I will take you
to go far away.
OK, I am waiting for it.
Before your dad died,
his told the last sentence that
the Liu family must have progeny.
Do you unfilial son have face
to visit your dad's grave?
Can you stop it?
Does the Liu family
need a heir to great wealth?
We have only three rooms and little land.
But you force me to have a second child every day.
How is my wife's condition?
She almost died when giving birth to Yueta.
She will die if I want another child.
In this case,
I won't be filial.
If dad wants to say something,
let him scold me in dream.
I am waiting for him.
Go, go, go.
No one can trust.
Three of our family will have a good time.
She stops us from having a meal peacefully.
Then we won't eat it.
See what you wear.
I will teach you a lesson at home.
Honey, let's go.
My mom was artistic when young.
She liked reading books and poems
and could play guitar a little.
But my grandma has three children.
One of my two uncles
was sent to the army and another went to college.
Only my mom stayed in a local factory.
Although she had to wear work clothes during the day,
I remember that
once she was off work,
she would dress beautifully.
My mom liked to wear cheongsam.
In our hometown,
no one sold cheongsam,
let alone wearing it.
My mom then draw pictures by herself
and found tailors to make cheongsams.
Even if someone gossiped about her around,
she always held her head high
when wearing a cheongsam.
I think she's beautiful.
She is my idol.
So I like to wear it like this.
If my mom is by my side,
even if others find it strange,
I dare to wear it
because she is with me.
And here,
many others like
to wear like this as I do.
Although I dare not to wear it at school,
I'm already lucky enough
compared to my mom.
So
I can't let my mom know I was cheated.
Otherwise she will…
Understood.
In this case,
you should wear it
and go out
with your mom's spirit.
Look, isn't this Yueta?
Look, she looks pretty.
That's right.
So pretty.
Can I?
Look. It's pretty nice.
But we are at school.
The cook is disappointed by love again?
What the hell is this?
Wild Michelin?
Dark cuisine?
How can we eat this?
You cooperate very well.
You are very hard-working.
Why can you
show this spirit
when rehearsing?
Noisy.
What are you doing this afternoon?
Let's go out and watch a movie together
as the construction activity of our band.
We have to practice this afternoon.
It's never too late to practice.
But recently one movie
about folk music is released.
It won't be shown for long.
If we don't seize the chance,
we may not be able to watch it.
Instead of watching someone playing instruments in the movie,
you should practice more in the practice room.
Let's take a look.
By the way, Haze.
I watched the trailer.
A girl playing Guzheng inside
is super handsome.
You can learn from her
for her aura.
Chen Jing.
Since you want to organize a band
and you feel you are the captain,
you have to take the responsibility.
I do.
Look.
Are we enhancing
the relationship between the band members?
What's the biggest weakness
of our band do you think?
I think
it's the look of Dreg.
It's your professional ability.
As the captain,
can you take some time
to get to know your instrument?
Today's almanac says it's better to practice.
I didn't expect that they wait for me here.
Unbearable.
What's this dish?
I won't eat it.
Boy,
why do you waste so much?
I have a bad temper.
You make bad dishes
of the food painstakingly harvested
by farmers.
Do you have face to say that I'm shameful?
Come on.
Chef.
Come out.
Stop being a hero behind the scenes.
Walk to the camera for an interview.
Bro.
Harmonious society. No need.
We don't need this.
Forget it.
Can I have an autography?
Enjoy your meal.
We will leave first.
No. What kind of dish is this?
It's so bad.
Bro.
I bought food.
Dreg.
What do we Chinese pay most attention to?
Think about it carefully.
For us Chinese,
food is the most important thing.
Hungry people have no spirit.
We can conduct well after getting full.
How many meals
did the canteen ruin?
We can only eat what the cook wants to cook.
Do we still have human rights?
I don't expect them to make a big dish.
But as long as
I can feel a little bit
of their awareness of caring for minor children,
it will be
enough for me.
But do they have a little?
Not at all.
Bro, what are you going to do?
What am I going to do?
I plan to change history.
For you and me
and all the young people waiting to be fed.
Times make heroes.
Dreg.
Do you want to follow me?
No.
What's the name
of that lively girl?
Chen Jing?
Right?
Does she know you like her?
She knows you such a coward
secretly like her?
There seems to be a picture in front of me.
At the 100-day banquet of the child
of that girl named Chen Jing,
you put 100 yuan in a red envelope
and secretly write down a sentence on it:
"I should have been
brave back then."
This picture is so clear.
It can't happen.
I have to help you.
Should I go to tell her?
Bro. Bro.
What do you want to do?
Can, can I help you?
Wang Wen.
We are going to talk to the cooks of canteen.
Would you like to join us?
What do think?
Forget it.
You can live with dew.
I really admire you.
Don't make the dormitory look like the scene of murder.
Okay?
No.
Wang Wen.
What are you doing?
Wang Wen.
The famous dulcimer song "Sounds of Harvest"
describes that hard-working farmers
dance joyously on the threshing floor
and sing beautiful music
after a day of labor.
Difficulties of this song
are continuous rapid overtones
to perform
the fragrant rice
plumping in the pot
and giving out seductive light,
as if making people already smell the fragrance of rice.
Hello?
Is it Xiyangyang Spicy Hot Pot?
I order a takeaway.
Vegetarian platter with shrimp steak.
Get some vinegar for me.
Zou, are you delivering food to us?
We are good friends.
Can you add some meat secretly?
What about a stuffed beef ball?
This is difficult?
Give me two more spoonfuls of sesame paste.
I'll eat it with coriander. Okay?
Are you…
You also…
Good eyesight.
I knew it.
Our souls must meet somewhere.
Hi.
Say goodbye to beautiful youth
and abandon self in decay.
Hello, pretty girls.
Turn off the stereo.
Dude,
can you keep a low profile every time you appear?
This is against the school's discipline.
School doesn't allow us to buy takeaway outside.
Look at us behind.
We may be attacked at any time.
Zou.
Can you come quietly next time?
No, pretty girl.
I'm so hard.
I need music to cheer me up.
Zou.
You gave me too much sesame paste?
Dig it deep, and you will find a surprise.
Zou, you are our best friend.
I mean it.
The boss must scold me again is he learns this.
But are you musicians.
You should eat more.
Ying still doesn't like to talk?
It's okay.
Eat more.
It's easier to be happy when you are full.
People want to talk as soon as they are happy.
Although you can only eat spicy hot pot now,
after you graduate,
you all will have a bright future.
Can I see you on TV?
Am I the beef ball sponsor
of you musicians?
We are pretty marginal
at this school.
We are not marginal,
but our instruments are little known.
There aren't many opportunities for us to show on TV.
Don't be modest.
I can work hard to be on the legal programs.
But
you can listen to music every day.
Unlike me
who can only listen to songs when I go out for delivery.
I can't do this in the shop.
Although I just hum in the shop,
my boss will stop me.
Once she sings in the solfeggio course,
the whole class will scold her.
It's me! It's me.
Zou.
The shop is not busy today?
A handsome guy inside
ordered takeaway.
What a coincidence!
Everyone is here.
Thank you, Zou.
You're welcome.
Well,
mind your business. I'm leaving now.
Stop.
He ordered the combo of the land, sea and air.
Dreg.
I've suspected that you are a rich second generation
for a long time.
Give us half.
Stop.
My protein for a week is here.
You all stop!
Guy and girls,
I have to go now.
By the way, Zou,
I've downloaded new songs for you.
Thank you, musician.
Zou.
How many friendships can last?
Dreg, where's your bro?
Just now in the canteen,
you two attracted much attention.
He has gone to find more helpers.
It's been three days and three nights.
Nutrition matching. Four dishes and one soup.
Nutrition matching.
As I said, I take the middle way.
Blue buff.
Nutrition matching. Four dishes and one soup.
Senior, you scared me.
I thought the teacher checked the phones suddenly.
I'm going to reason with the school canteen
to improve food.
Join me.
See you in the canteen at seven tomorrow evening.
Senior,
we don't eat recently.
We save money to buy flow packets
and seize the seconds to play games.
Nutrition matching. Four dishes and one soup.
Strive for the fragrance of the whole school.
Don't go too far.
I didn't get any luncheon meat.
Have some more.
It's easier to be happy when we're full.
Chen Jing,
we'll finish the term
and graduate soon.
Do you think about what to do in the future?
Why do you mention this
when we eat?
My digestive system is the most vulnerable.
I was just thinking.
Zou must think
we can all be musicians
and perform on the stage.
It's not that easy.
Perform on the stage?
I don't even know what I do in the future.
Anyway, some of our seniors who learn Pipa
are trying their best to
make up for cultural lessons.
They want to find regular jobs after graduation.
Shen Jing,
what are you going to do?
Will you continue to play the Yangqin?
A great man I know once said,
life is just a few decades.
We muddle along from day to day.
Do you eat too much spicy hot pot?
Why do you talk about such a heavy topic
to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis?
Which great man said that?
He's open-minded.
My dad.
Well,
they study in our school these years,
so that they can go abroad, perform on the stage and become famous
in the future.
We learn folk music.
If we don't learn it in the future,
what's the point of studying
at school these years?
But Chen Jing,
at least you know me.
Us.
Yes.
We'll have more contacts even when we beg.
There are few confidants in life.
Zou, you come again.
Do you come to refill our cup for free?
Zou.
Why are you still here?
You have much time as students.
I'm going to the front office building to deliver meals.
I don't have time to talk to you.
Those elite brothers in the front office building are so fierce.
They will scold me if I arrive a minute later.
They will also call to scold my boss.
Then my boss will deduct my wage.
I am miserable.
Luckily, I can listen to the music.
I have to go.
Go on with your chat.
Zou.
Look.
Are these dishes in front of me?
It's an impressionist painting.
Bro,
have you found enough people?
Many people responded to my call.
They're sitting behind
and waiting for my signal.
Bro, you're really capable.
Don't worry.
Chef in the canteen,
what do you want me to do?
The dishes are so salty.
Is salt free?
Chef in the canteen,
please listen to our appeal.
Let's sing together.
What appeal?
Tell me
what your appeal is.
You don't like my dishes?
Are they salty or insipid?
Tell me what you want.
I can't hinder
the future of the motherland.
Go ahead.
They're not salty or insipid.
They're just fine.
Enjoy yourselves. Have some more
to grow taller.
OK. Thank you for your concern.
I don't want to live.
I will kill myself.
Don't stop me.
Brother. Brother.
At least we tried.
I can
kill tigers with the expression in my eyes
and fight with mecha with my body.
I'm a brave man,
but I was set up by traitors.
Dreg,
write down the names of
those who promised me to come but failed.
They're blacklisted.
Forget those folk music juniors
who stood up.
In that case,
they were already very brave.
Brother,
it's a complicated situation today.
in fact, I think
for many juniors,
hunger
is not their greatest fear.
At this age,
they don't fear hunger.
What do they fear then?
Punishment.
Now we have to swallow humiliation for our future?
Forget it.
Bro,
did you speak your mind?
Of course,
I spoke my mind.
What I said
was destructive.
But
the ending was not good.
Imperfect beauty.
Bro, imperfect beauty.
Dreg,
did you remind Zou to turn off the stereo?
I reminded him every time,
but it didn't work.
But it's noon.
Teachers have to eat.
Right?
But why is the food in the canteen
still so bad today?
It's said that the cook in the canteen is lovelorn
for less than 24 hours.
My brother might offend him yesterday.
Zou,
why are you so low-key this time?
It's strange.
I broke the stereo that day.
Handsome boy, beautiful girls,
your spicy hot pot may not be delivered by me
in the future.
Why?
I spilled the meal
when I delivered that day.
I went back to remake it, so it was too late to deliver it.
Those elite bosses were not happy.
They scolded me and my boss,
so my boss fired me.
In fact, even if my boss didn't fire me,
I also wanted to quit.
With no music to cheer me up,
I ride alone on the road.
I am bored
and exposed to the sun.
I feel very miserable.
Well,
where are you going?
I will go back to my hometown.
I go back to my hometown to grow bananas.
The bananas in my hometown are very famous.
It's good to grow bananas.
I can listen to music when I work.
No one will scold me for picking slowly.
Well,
if you eat bananas from Xuwen County, Guangdong in the future,
you will eat mine.
Mine must be
the most delicious.
I treat you as friends.
I'm happy
to meet you here.
After I get home,
I will tell the villagers that
I was the sponsor of musicians' beef balls
in the big city.
Enjoy yourselves.
I have to go.
Be great musicians
in the future.
I have
sent you the links that
we want you to buy this week.
We can also buy this?
Got it.
Chen Jing,
you wipe the Yangqin?
If not,
it'd be as dirty as an unearthed cultural relic.
You ask me out without ordering takeout.
You know I'm leaving tomorrow?
It's for you.
It's not so good.
Make do with it.
I'll leave.
I have bought the ticket.
You can listen after you go back.
Hang it on the banana tree.
Don't make me cry.
I'm a man.
There's something I can't say.
I like it very much.
Thank you.
This stereo will accompany me on my way back.
I have to go.
Hurry up.
Is the stereo on?
Yes.
There are few confidants in life.
How many friendships can last?
Saying goodbye today, we shake hands.
Friendship is always in our hearts.
Today, we have to say goodbye.
Goodbye.
We will meet again one day.
Even if we can't meet,
we're always friends.
We're separated by
the mountains.
We don't need to meet,
but we know in our hearts that
friendship cannot be changed.
There are few confidants in life.
How many friendships can last?
You're
holding a concert?
Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?
I have a cold.
A cold in summer?
It's rare.
Someone only
covered me with a carpet
when I fell asleep with the air conditioner on,
so I have a cold.
Did you take medicine?
Leave me alone.
Go to see your brother.
Come on.
What's our relationship?
Teacher and student.
Do you have coke?
I'll cook ginger coke for you.
Illness shows that
I didn't manage my body well.
It's not worth caring about.
And what I hate most is
being taken care of
when I'm sick.
I don't like to bother others.
It's not because I feel embarrassed.
It's because if I bother others now,
maybe they will
bother me one day.
Got it?
You become more inhuman when you're sick.
Even your sound is a little mechanical.
Rhinitis.
My nose is very dry.
It's hard to breathe.
Don't let me talk, will you?
OK. Have a rest.
It's dry even when you don't turn on the air conditioning.
Don't you have a humidifier?
Sorry.
What is this?
I just bought it today.
The weather is too hot.
We can't just water it.
We have to humidify the leaves.
It's very nice of you.
What are you doing?
Humidify.
Go away. Are you crazy?
Usually you take care of my brother.
I'll take care of you today.
Is it wet?
Is your nose wet?
Do you think it's useful?
What are you doing?
Repay kindness.
Feng Anyu,
how old are you?
The Baidu Encyclopedia
says 23.
Nominal age 27.
I am 26.
So?
You want to call me brother?
We're both adults.
I have a question for you.
Can you give me an answer?
Miss Chen, what's the question?
I have forgot
all the knowledge of culture lessons I learned after junior three.
Do you like me?
I'm a teacher.
If I have any questions, I want answers.
And I don't want the problem-solving process to be too complicated.
Wait.
I'll tell you the question first.
My answer is
I kind of
like you,
but at the moment
it's controllable for me.
If you think it's my one-sided feeling,
please don't do this kind of thing
that will make me misunderstand.
We're both adults.
Love is a life option,
but not a life priority.
When we were young, love was like a gift.
We could love anyone
without asking for a reward.
But now love is like money management.
I have very little principal.
I don't want to take risks.
