You've become prettier.
And more mature.
Do you want help or not?
Just tell me.
Be careful.
Hey!
Ren-gui.
You bastard.
Why are you here?
-Jo. -Have you ever thought about
what kind of future I want?
You've never even asked me if I want to stay in Taiwan.
As for you,
I'm sure that you can build the life that you want.
But when you say it to me,
it feels the most reassuring.
Because that's our American Dream.
Don't give up.
You can't give up.
You said that when I feel confident, I should come get you back, right?
I'm confident now.
That's why I'm here.
I want us to start over again.
You said so.
-What's wrong? -Dad.
Call an ambulance!
I was just joking.
Where is he?
Where did he go?
I even bought the buns he loves.
They smell amazing.
Since he is not here, I'll have them myself.
Steamed buns.
Cut it out now, Li Ren-gui.
Fine, I'll give you the best actor award. You're very good at acting.
You even prepared your prop?
Get up.
Stop it. Get up.
Ren-gui.
Hey. Li Nian-nian, where are you?
Your dad passed out.
I don't know.
Come back now.
Ren-gui.
Ren-gui, get up.
Goodness.
Ren-gui, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I'm your wife.
Nian-nian will be home soon. Don't worry.
Ren-gui, don't worry.
CHENGEN GATE
TAIPEI XIAHAI CITY GOD TEMPLE
Dad.
Time to take your medicine.
Okay.
Jing-wen.
Did you prepare the sushi?
After you leave this room,
remember to change your clothes.
Don't let Nian-nian catch this cold of mine.
Her body is weak.
She can't get sick.
Remember when she didn't go on that trip
because she was sick a few years ago?
This time,
we have to let her go on the school's graduation trip.
She likes soybean pudding.
I already bought some.
It's in the fridge.
Dad.
I'm Nian-nian.
Hey.
Why are you in here?
Get out.
I don't want you to catch a cold.
Go out now.
It would be terrible if you caught a cold.
Go on. Go out now.
I'll help you get in bed, okay?
-Okay. -I'll tuck you in.
All right. Go out now.
Go on.
I'm all set.
I'm fine.
It's okay.
Don't cry.
He's going to be fine.
He's going to be fine, right?
Dad will be fine.
He'll be fine.
It's going to be fine.
Everything's going to be fine.
I'm sorry.
All we can do right now is try chemotherapy again.
However, I can't guarantee that it'll work.
The cancer cells are spreading quickly.
No.
I'm such a bad daughter.
How can I cry at a time like this?
Silly girl.
If you don't cry in front of me, who will you cry to?
There, there.
It's okay.
Wipe off your tears.
You have lots of patients downstairs waiting for you.
Mr. Zhao said he's bringing his grandson for consultation.
I have to go and check on him.
Go.
-Hurry. -Okay.
Nian-nian.
How about we close up Heshengtang and focus on taking care of Ren-gui?
No.
Our patients need Heshengtang.
If we close Heshengtang, Dad also won't feel at ease.
We can't close it.
We really can't close it.
We can't close Heshengtang.
All right, the other side.
Stop wiggling around. You're so naughty.
I'm sorry about that.
It's all right.
-I'm so sorry. -No worries.
Wei-wei, hold this for me.
Okay, give me your other hand.
Who is this monster?
It's so ugly.
He's not a monster.
He's precious to me.
He was my best friend when I was studying Chinese medicine.
He's so ugly.
I thought he was Captain America or Hulk's enemy.
I haven't seen him before.
Can he fly?
Hey!
-Why did you do that? -It's fine.
Wei-wei, you're so lame.
He's even more incredible than Captain America and Hulk.
Do you know why?
Because he can take care of himself.
Unlike you. You have a runny nose, a stomach ache,
and you always rub your eyes.
He's not a real person though.
Yes.
That's true.
You're so smart.
How do you know that he's not a real person?
He's very smart.
-There's not much problem. -He's just naughty.
I prescribed some medicine for the spleen.
-Also, Mr. Zhao. -Yes?
I recommend that you get some ginseng powder
and add it in his milk.
It'll boost his immune system.
It's this one, Mr. Zhao. I'll put it in here.
Okay, I know.
I often take it.
-It's good for your body. -Do you know
that when ginseng turns six years old, it'll become a hero
who can protect the whole world?
Here.
You can borrow him.
Hey.
No, this is yours.
-How can we take-- -It's fine.
Hey.
Wait. You haven't thanked Dr. Li yet.
I want to be a hero!
This kid...
Wait up.
You need to take your medicine then.
Ms. Lin.
Come on.
Are you sleeping better?
-Yes, thank you. -You are?
KINDNESS BEGETS KINDNESS
Okay, smile for the camera.
Can you be more natural?
Just a bit more natural.
Miss, will this interview be published?
It will.
How many countries do you sell your magazines to?
Over ten countries.
-Over ten? -Over ten?
Meng, when the magazine is published,
everyone in the world will know
that the person behind the cultural revival in Dadaocheng
is Tian-ming.
Do you get it?
I do.
But look at him.
He's smiling like a zombie.
Everyone in the world will see that.
How about a group photo?
-Can we do that? -Yes.
All right. Look here.
That's more natural.
Good.
Jo, thank you for trusting me.
Well, gratitude, like love, shouldn't be kept to yourself.
So I like the fact that you told me about it.
I like the fact that you love me.
By the way,
do you think I should go back to see Mr. Li because of his condition?
I was just thinking of talking to you about that.
I'll book the tickets now.
No.
You just went back to the States.
You gain your sense of accomplishment from work.
When you were in Taiwan,
whenever you had conference calls,
you looked confident and poised.
I love that.
I wish I could be like Nian-nian
and just get drunk and go back to Taiwan impulsively.
Being impulsive is not in your DNA though.
Don't worry. I'll take care of everything here.
But I want to be there with everyone.
I also want you to take care of me.
It makes me happy when you take care of me.
What are you looking for?
You miss them that much?
I didn't expect this.
I'm not usually very clingy,
but this time, I am.
I don't know what's up with Mr. Li lately.
He keeps sleeping.
Maybe he's dreaming of San Francisco.
He doesn't want to wake up.
Aren't Nian-nian and Mrs. Li worried sick then?
Yes.
Nian-nian's family has become your family in Taiwan.
You can't forget them, right?
Mr. Li and I treat you like our own daughter.
Go and ask everyone out there.
Who doesn't know that there are two daughters in Heshengtang?
One is Jo, the other is Nian-nian.
You can think of me as your dad.
I'll love you like I love Nian-nian.
I'll have to think about that.
Li Nian-nian.
Longing hurts the spleen, worry hurts the lungs.
You can't sleep when you're anxious.
Sadness blocks the function of your chi.
Loneliness.
Strength.
I'm taking care of patients.
In vitro fertilization didn't work...
I'm taking care of Dad.
I'm taking care of Mom.
Dad will be okay.
He'll be fine.
I'm taking care of Heshengtang.
I can't collapse.
I can't appease my emotions.
Happiness arises from anger.
Longing arises from happiness.
Sadness arises from longing.
Fear arises from sadness.
Anger arises from fear.
I don't have any emotions.
I don't want to have any feelings
of happiness or sadness.
I just want to do what I have to do.
And move forward.
I'll just do what I have to do.
And move forward.
TIME FOR DAD'S MEDICINE
Stop pretending that you're sick.
You're just wasting everyone's time, you know?
I am sick.
I have a cough, runny nose, and stomach ache.
Come on and write it.
Write down that I'm dying.
-That's enough. -Then they'll come see me.
Stop it.
I'm sorry, it's because
his parents are recently talking
about getting a divorce.
Mr. Zhao.
My mom made a new kind of tea.
Do you want to try some?
She's been waiting for you to come.
She wants you to try out the new tea with her.
Try it.
All right then.
Be good, okay?
Hey.
Dying isn't that easy.
When I was born,
the doctor said,
"This baby is so unhealthy."
I had to get surgery when I was just one year old.
All the doctors said that I couldn't live past 15 years old.
"She's too weak."
But look.
I'm all grown up now.
That...
That must have hurt, right?
Your parents were very worried about you, right?
Yes.
They were very worried about me.
So, if possible, I want to live for a long time.
I want to take care of them like they took care of me.
I want my parents to live for a long time, too.
Boys can just wipe with their hands.
I don't have that much time.
They're about to get divorced.
If I get really sick
just like you did,
will they come and see me?
I don't know if they'll come and see you,
but I do know
that your parents
would want their child to be healthy.
I thought
I could worry less about my child
after raising him and seeing him get married
and have a family of his own.
Who knew that they're going to get divorced...
Now, I even have to worry about my grandson.
There's no end to worrying, I guess.
Parenting is a lifetime job.
You always do this.
You keep putting it off.
You see hundreds of patients every day, but your daughter comes last.
It's fine.
They all waited in line.
They all support Heshengtang.
Of course I should check on them first.
See how cold-blooded your dad is?
You're feeling unwell, but he won't check on you first.
It's fine. It's for the greater good of all mankind.
Mine is a recurring illness.
You picked up that term already.
Even though it's a recurring illness,
it still has to get treated seriously.
Listen to me.
When you can't catch your breath, look,
press right here.
It's called the Yuji acupuncture point.
Yes. Right there.
The Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin consists of 11 acupuncture points.
"The Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin consists of 11 acupuncture points."
-Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu, -"Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu,"
-Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui, -"Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui,"
-Liechue, Jingqu, Taiyuan... -Shimen, Guanyuan,
Qihai, Tanzhong.
Good girl.
KINDNESS BEGETS KINDNESS
We're out of tissue paper.
Aren't you going to go and buy some?
You know I hate going to Tao's store.
Today, a spider came out of the cabinet in the corner.
It scared me and I screamed so loudly.
It scared our patients too.
Stop sleeping.
Your daughter is having a hard time.
She has to see all the patients.
And we're getting more and more patients.
I think that your record of 124 patients a day
will be surpassed pretty soon.
Are you happy to hear that?
Ren-gui,
the osmanthus flowers bloomed early this year.
I don't want you anymore.
I'm going to leave you.
I'm going to abandon you.
You're the only one
I can rely on in Heshengtang.
If you don't get better soon,
how can I continue to be Nian-nian's mom?
Can I keep staying in this house?
Can I abandon you first?
No? You don't want that?
You're afraid?
Then you can't leave me alone here either.
Let's make a pinky promise.
Ren-gui.
Stay close to me.
You have me.
I'm here.
I...
Okay.
TAIPEI XIAHAI CITY GOD TEMPLE
Deng Tian-ming.
I heard all your wishes.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Isn't our Chinese Cupid good?
Tian-ming, don't forget to give me your wedding cookies.
All right.
Wedding cookies?
One spoon should do it. Take it with warm water.
-You can also add honey. -Okay.
If you have any questions, just come back next week.
-Okay. Thank you. Bye. -Thank you.
When did you come back?
-I missed you so much. -Me too.
Nian-nian!
Nian-nian, come out!
Why didn't you tell us?
How can I tell you? She didn't even tell me.
It's true.
All right, go out and have lunch. Come on.
-I can't. Later on, I have to-- -What do you mean?
-Go out for lunch. -Dad has to take his medicine.
You're on lunch break now. I'll take care of your dad, don't worry.
Go.
-Here's your purse. -Let Uncle rest.
We'll come back and see him later.
I don't want you here blocking the doorway.
Go.
Let's go eat.
-Go. -Give him his medicine on time.
I know.
-Go with them. -Okay.
Don't you think wedding cookies are not environment-friendly at all?
It just produces a lot of trash.
That's true, but traditionally,
wedding cookies are a way of sharing your happiness
with those you love and your family as well.
Can't we use a less wasteful way to share our joy with those close to us?
Well, you can give out those traditional big cakes.
Sometimes, we're not doing these for ourselves,
but for our elders, our families.
What does our marriage have to do with our elders?
It has a lot to do with them.
Marriage is not about two people,
it's about two families.
You have to face your grandparents, uncles, aunts...
Wait...
You came all the way back from the States to talk about wedding cookies?
Are you guys getting married now?
Are we getting married?
We're just talking about it.
That's a relief.
I really want to be your bridesmaid.
But with my current situation, it'll be difficult.
I just haven't seen you for a one month,
I think you look quite pale now.
I'm sorry.
I should have stayed here with you.
I'm fine.
This is my problem. I should take care of it.
This is life, right? There are joys and sorrows.
Just like when I saw you arguing over wedding cookies earlier.
It also shows how happy you guys are.
It made me happy to see that.
Nian-nian.
Don't forget.
My shoulder is here for you.
I've been here for you for 30 years.
And I'll continue to be here for the next 30, or even 50 years.
Nonsense. You're so busy.
I told you to take care of Nian-nian.
Did you? Look at her.
If he dares to bully you in the future, I'd surely beat him up for you.
-Please. Why would I do that? -Being alone is lonely.
-I care about her a lot. -When I'm fully surrounded
by your love and care,
that's when I know
-Regarding the wedding cookies... -that I'm really lonely.
Here. It's hot.
Goodness.
Drink some.
Let me do it.
It tastes better if I do it. Give it to me.
-It tastes better if you do it? -Let me give it a try.
Really?
Open up. Come on.
He's not opening his mouth.
Let me do it.
Yes, you try it.
You're such a busybody.
You think you're so great.
I'll sit right here.
Uncle, you've missed me, right?
I've only been gone for a month and you've lost so much weight.
Here.
Let me fatten you up.
This is medicine.
How can I get fat?
If you get better, you'll get fat.
Here.
Yes, you'll get fat if you get well.
Gosh.
I'm a doctor,
-but I still don't like taking medicine. -I know.
-So you need to get better. -One more.
Don't you think that Nian-nian
is under so much pressure?
The whole street is waiting
to see if she can handle Heshengtang, if she can take care of her dad properly.
They can't help it. It's a small place. People are close to each other.
They pay more attention to each other.
It's really different.
That's because you didn't grow up here.
Think about it.
You call this person "uncle" and this person "auntie."
They'll care more about you, of course.
Without their concern, you'll even feel lonely sometimes.
Whether it's good news or bad,
all your neighbors have to know what you're doing.
I still can't get used to that.
You're talking about wedding cookies, right?
I'm talking about getting married.
I can't imagine how scary it would be to hold a wedding in Taiwan.
So you mean we're not getting married anymore?
Are you proposing to me?
I guess so.
Good thing my mom is still very healthy.
-One day-- -Hey.
One day, if anything happens,
I'll always be here.
Got it?
I have a tiny little problem right now.
Every time I come to Taiwan...
Great!
We don't even need to get married.
I can directly be a dad.
No, I want you to buy red beans and brown sugar with me.
TAIPEI XIAHAI CITY GOD TEMPLE
Mr. Zhao, have some tea.
My dad will be downstairs soon.
Thank you.
That's enough.
Stop walking around.
Can you be a good boy?
I'm not being bad.
I am a good boy.
I took all the medicines the doctor gave me.
I also drank my milk.
It's really good.
Did you memorize what I taught you?
I remember now.
The Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin consists of 11 acupuncture points.
Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tiantianshui!
What? Tiantianshui?
It's Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu.
Dad.
-Come here. -Mr. Zhao, your idol is here.
Finally.
-Why are you here? -Walk slowly.
-Sit down. -Okay.
You look well.
You shouldn't hide in your room all day.
I had to ask so many times before you'd come out.
It's the effect of the medicine.
I get really tired and sleep all day.
Are you sick?
Is this your grandson?
It's Wei-wei.
Yes, I'm sick.
You can't cure yourself?
Dr. Li cured me.
You cured Dr. Li.
Then you should be the best.
I don't think I can cure myself.
Humans are not omnipotent.
No, you are.
You're the best.
If it weren't for you,
how can I be alive and kicking now
and even take care of my grandson?
Nian-nian's taking care of you.
What are you worried about?
I'll work very hard.
I'm working very hard to cure my dad.
Come with me for a second.
Like me,
you don't want to be separated from your dad, right?
I know.
You're working very hard, just like me.
Even though they're getting divorced
and I'm going to Canada with my mom,
I'm not giving up.
I'm working very hard
because I want to see my dad again.
Your grandpa is watching.
Tell me what I told you to memorize.
What's next?
-Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui, -Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui,
-Liechue, Jingqu, Taiyuan, -Liechue, Jingqu, Taiyuan,
-Yuji, Shaoshang, like chives. -Yuji, Shaoshang, like chives.
-There 22 of them... -There 22 of them from left to right.
-You did it! -He's awesome.
You're incredible.
Look.
You're such a good boy.
Even after you go to Canada with your mom,
your dad won't worry about you because you're a good boy, right?
I'm not trying to be petty right now,
but you often run out to buy stuff for Nian-nian.
You're such a good friend of hers.
I'm so jealous.
All right.
Wait for me over there.
Hello.
I'd like a number two and a number six meal.
I want to prove that apart from buying stuff for Nian-nian,
I can also make a fries meal for you.
Mom.
Hurry up.
Okay. Don't panic.
Here.
-Wait. Be careful. -Okay.
Okay. Lay him down here.
-Okay. -Okay. Hold on him.
-I'll hold him. -Help me out here. Thanks.
Be careful.
Okay. Good.
-Thank you. -Who's going with him?
-You are, right? -I'll go with him.
-Did you bring his health card? -Here.
-Right here. -Health card...
I'll go too.
Okay, go.
-Mrs. Li and I will wrap up here first. -He's just getting
a check-up at the hospital.
We're sorry to disturb you.
-It's fine. -Here.
-Call me later. -Okay.
HESHENGTANG
What happened? Why did you call an ambulance?
He slipped and fell in the living room.
Everything's fine. Sorry about that.
-He's fine. -Is that so?
EMERGENCY ROOM
-Jo. -Auntie.
How is he?
The doctor said he needed a CT scan.
He's worried about internal bleeding.
When we talked to him earlier, he didn't respond to us much.
-Sit down. -He's here.
-Ren-gui. -Dad.
Ren-gui.
CHENGEN GATE
Dad.
You should've told me you wanted to go to the restroom. What if you fall again?
I won't.
There's no one else in this room.
Let's open the shades and let the sun in.
Silly girl.
I just went to the restroom.
You don't need to be so worried.
-Sit. -It's not convenient for a girl like you
to go to the restroom with me.
Be careful.
The doctor said I'm fine.
It makes me uncomfortable that you're this anxious.
Earlier, I saw you sleeping so soundly over there.
You were even snoring. I didn't want to wake you up.
Nonsense! Who says I snore?
You did.
It was so loud.
You've been very tired lately.
Who says I'm tired? It's not tiring to sleep here with you.
Hey.
Did you bring my razor?
Why?
I went to the bathroom earlier and saw myself in the mirror.
I was so shocked. I look like a ghost.
I want to see if I'll look better after shaving.
Afterwards...
It's nothing.
I was thinking that after I shave,
we can go home.
We can't.
The doctor said that since you're here,
if you don't have a concussion or other issues,
you should do chemotherapy tomorrow.
What chemotherapy?
I told you I didn't want to do that.
Do you know how bad the medicine smells for chemotherapy?
It won't smell better even if you take Chinese medicine.
Dad, if we are more proactive with your treatment, maybe...
-Maybe... -Maybe what?
A miracle will happen?
Li Nian-nian. Dr. Li.
Do you rely on miracles for your patients?
Come on. Let's go home.
When I smell those olives, maybe my illness will go away.
Eating olives won't cure you.
Nonsense.
What do you know?
Your phone is ringing.
Hello, Mom?
You don't have to come now.
Somebody says he wants to go home.
That looks like Dr. Li.
Dr. Li, you're home?
-You look well. -I feel good.
Right.
-I feel strong as a bull. -Right.
-We'll go ahead. -Thanks.
-See you. -Bye.
I'm happier at home.
-The hospital makes me feel depressed. -That's enough.
-Stop it. -Drink your soup.
There's a theater here.
-Right? -Yes, I haven't seen a movie in a while.
Yes.
Dr. Li.
-Hi, Shun. -Shun.
I haven't seen the three of you out together for so long.
-Yes? -Are you out shopping?
-Yes. -Want to have a seat inside?
-There's no need. -No, thanks.
You look better now.
I felt better once I came home.
-Nian-nian is getting prettier too. -You're too kind.
How nice.
-It's nice, right? -We all haven't been out in a while.
Try it out.
Is it comfy?
Let's eat.
Here's the soup.
Here.
-That smells so good. -It does, right?
-It does. -Let's eat.
Dad.
You're our elder.
You're the most important person here. If you don't start eating, no one will.
Eat.
All right. Come on. Let's eat.
-Dig in. -Okay.
Wait.
Let's take a photo first.
Mr. Li is wearing red today. It looks great on him.
We need to take a photo.
Why do you look so handsome today?
Okay. Let's take this photo.
Okay, ready.
It's like having Chinese New Year dinner.
All right.
Young people treat their phones like their eyes or hands.
Don't turn into aliens.
Aliens have all their information in the palms of their hands.
Mr. Li, you also know about aliens?
Do you watch that talk show, Crucial Moment?
With Liu Bao-jie and Ma Xi-ping?
He loves to watch TV.
In the future,
if I meet an alien, I'll tell him
that aside from taking me, you'll have to take one more person.
Who?
-You. -Me?
You're worthy to be studied.
They should take us both to their spaceship and study us.
I want to go too.
I have lots of questions for them.
I want to ask them about quantum mechanics.
-Quantum... -Quantum mechanics.
Yes, quantum mechanics.
-It's complicated. -It's complicated.
-Mom. -Yes?
Give Dad some soup.
-Here. -Okay.
-See if you like it. -It smells great.
There's so much stuff in there.
Who made this soup today?
-Me. -You?
You made it?
It looks pretty good.
Try it.
-It's hot. -Let me try it.
-Is it good? -What do you think?
Did you use high heat to cook this soup?
Yes, it's faster.
When you make soup, you have to be patient.
Jing-wen, didn't I teach you how to make soup?
You should teach Tian-ming.
Pass on the knowledge.
And they can pass it on.
All right.
I'm so happy today.
I was thinking...
It's just wishful thinking...
If only we could all
have dinner together every day,
wouldn't that be great?
Why is it wishful thinking?
We'll do that every day.
That's right.
I'm willing to come here every day.
-We'll do this every day. -Okay.
Nian-nian.
Can you take a photo with me,
just the two of us?
-Sure. -Come here.
Here.
-Selfie or I'll take it? Let me take it. -Selfie.
Here.
That's nice. One, two, three.
Wonderful.
Tian-ming, come on.
I want a solo picture.
-Just me. -Okay.
-Relax a bit. -Okay.
Try to relax. You're so stiff.
Wait...
-Wait a second. -Okay.
Ready?
Okay. You look great.
-You look very handsome. -Yes.
Okay. Ready?
-Okay, cool. -You're so good-looking.
He looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro or Andy Lau.
Come on.
That's a nice smile.
Okay. One more.
-Come on. -Okay.
Wacky pose, Uncle. Ready?
Do a wacky pose. One, two, three.
That's good.
Okay. Thank you.
-It's time to eat. -Let's eat.
-All right. -You keep talking.
Have some more soup if you like it, Mr. Li.
He's even promoting his soup.
He's worried it won't sell well.
No, I think it's good.
She's a loyal customer.

Two lines.
What do you mean?
The pregnancy test has two lines.
So...
I...
But...
I don't know if I'll be a good mom.
I'm so happy though.
But I'm also worried
that if I become like my mom,
and be super strict with him--
Okay, let me tell you that I'm very happy as well.
And you don't have to worry.
Don't worry about what kind of mom you'll be.
You'll be a good mom.
And...
I want this child too.
It's true.

I'm going to the temple.
Ren-gui.
When the soup boils, turn the heat down for me.
Jo can have it when she gets here.
Jo likes to drink the soup I make.
It's the same.
You taught me everything I know.
All right, I'll get going.
Walk slowly.
You too.

Come on.
Do you want to drink tea?
No.
Let me get a chair.
What are you looking at?
Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time,
there was a village.
In this village,
there lived a boy.
This boy
fell in love
with a girl who lived in the same village who likes to wear floral dresses.
One year,
there was heavy rain.
It rained so hard.
It rained for nine months straight.
That village got flooded.
The water created a huge lake
between the boy and the girl.
So the two of them couldn't see each other.
Even though they couldn't see each other,
the boy still missed the girl every day.
However,
this boy heard
that the girl
lived very happily
on the other side of the lake.
So the boy started
to hold back his love
for the girl on the other side.
One day,
the girl got very sick.
She was seriously ill.
When the boy heard of this,
he immediately overcame all obstacles
and went to the other side of the lake
to save the girl.
This boy
was actually a doctor.
So he tried his best
to save the girl.
I'm going to the States tomorrow.
Are you serious?
Take me! I am going with you!
I will join you in the States as soon as I get my flight tickets.
Wait for me.
Nian-nian!
What's wrong?
Ren-gui!
Mom.
Wait for me.
I will meet you in San Francisco for sure.
Did you see her before she passed away?
I missed
Nian-nian's childhood.
I also missed your love.
But I don't regret it.
I really don't regret it.
I did it for myself.
Thank you.
For giving me a chance to fly
and to venture into the world.
You gave me a chance
to experience the beauty
and make mistakes in life.
I flew when I wanted to.
I expressed my love...
when I wanted to.
I'm sorry.
I...
I still hope to tell you...
That I love you...
And...
And I love Nian-nian.
If I could,
I want to be with her while she's growing up.
I want to see her fall in love.
When she is heartbroken,
I want to make fun of her
for falling in love with a bad boy.
In the end,
when the girl
saw this boy who had always loved her,
she gave up.
She gave up on life, on happiness,
on everything.
The boy,
having lost the girl he loved,
also gave up
on his life,
on happiness and on everything.
However,
he couldn't collapse.
Because this girl that he loved
left a child
whom she missed very much.
He had to take care of her.
Afterwards,
the boy gave everything
in his life
to his current wife.
So,
he really loves his current wife
and his daughter.
I am selfish.
I missed the important things in life.
This is the end for me.
Take your time.
Take care of our daughter.
Thank Jing-wen for me
for taking care
of my daughter for me.
I wish you all the best.
Hopefully, we won't meet again in the next lifetime.
I'm going to see your mom now.
Nian-nian.
I want to take your pulse now.
I remember, in the past,
I would take your pulse
every night.
I had to see if your pulse
was steady and calm.
I can only sleep well
if it was steady and calm.
Once you become a doctor for a day,
you'll be a doctor for life.
Li Ren-gui.
I told you this isn't funny.
I don't like this joke.
Wake up.
Li Ren-gui, wake up.
Please wake up.
Nobody's going to take my pulse in the future.
I don't like this joke.
Li Ren-gui, wake up right now!
-Li Ren-gui! -I...
Li Ren-gui, it's not funny.
Wake up.
Dad.
Ren-gui.
Dad.
If you want to cry,
cry out loud.
I'll always be here.
You're being too calm.
NEXT EPISODE
I don't want to cry or scream.
Just take care of yourself.
Get your wedding in order.
-It has to be done within 100 days. -You should rest.
-There's not much time. -Take care of yourself.
I never thought that I'd get married.
But now, I'm going to have a very traditional wedding ceremony.
All the traditions have their meaning.
Funerals are the same.
Auntie Yue, I'm sorry. Are you all right?
I'm so sorry. Are you really okay?
-I'm fine. -Can't you hear your patient's pulses?
You can't hear their pulses.
You also can't hear my words.
You can't hear your own feelings as well. How will you be a doctor?
I'm so lonely.
I'm really lonely.
I'm the only one left in my world.
Nian-nian.
-Hey, Nian-nian! -Nian-nian!
-Nian-nian. -Nian-nian.
