Our Shiny Days
Episode 20
A Breeze Kisses Me
Let me make an appointment for tomorrow's doctor.
The earlier, the better.
What do you think?
Why are you in such a hurry
to have an abortion?
Yina,
I can't afford to
destroy your future.
I'm sorry.
OK.
You was not so cowardly
when I was with you five years ago.
Sun Jian, is your family dead?
What about the cover resources?
Sun Jian,
what a good-for-nothing you are.
Can you do something in your busy schedule?
The cover of “Harper's Bazaar”
is robbed by the deadly foe.
You've been paid, right?
Sun Jian,
it's not easy for Yina to get what she has today.
Do you want to destroy her future?
A girl's youth
can't be delayed.
Hello.
Dr. Yang,
I'd like to make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
Yeah.
Do we have to make any preparation?
OK.
Well, before the surgery,
let's do the last check.
It's mainly to check the size.
OK.
Done.
Does it have heartbeats?
Does it have a fetal heart? Yes.
You want to hear it?
What's going on?
How can the window of the examination room open?
Who did this?
I just heard the best voice in the world.
Grandpa,
no more square dancing?
Didn't you want to be in the middle of the dancing floor last month?
I'm tired of dancing.
I plan to learn some skill.
Dad, why do you change to watch ice hockey?
Don't you just watch diving?
I have changed my mind. It's cool to watch ice hockey in summer.
What are you doing?
You act like a street-performer early in the morning.
Dad,
do the people in our family
always quit halfway?
Well, it's true.
Except you,
the people in our family always quit halfway.
Except me?
How many years have you been learning to play the Yangqin?
It's a miracle!
Dad, I don't want to
learn to play the Yangqin afterwards.
What do you want?
I want to study abroad.
You can do that.
We have relatives in Turkmenistan.
I'll ask them
for the prices there later.
Dad, I mean it.
Why did I learn to play the Yangqin?
When I started, I was too young.
I don't remember.
You forget
why you learned to play the Yangqin?
When you were six,
we still lived in the courtyard.
There is a little boy in the east of the courtyard.
You liked him very much
and always followed him.
You put a white pillowcase on your head
and held a can ring in your hand.
You said you wanted to marry him.
Dad,
don't say those irrelevant things.
Later the boy bought a piano.
He practiced every day. You envied him very much.
You went back home
and begged me to buy one for you.
But
I know
you well.
You can't do anything long.
The piano was expensive
and took up too much space.
If I bought it for you and you didn't play it after some days,
I couldn't resell it.
It happened that
your grandpa's friend had a Yangqin,
and no one played it.
I bought it back.
I thought you could play it first.
If you were interested,
I would buy a piano for you.
Dad,
in order to save money,
you hindered me from becoming a piano superstar.
Don't interrupt me.
Listen to me first.
After I took Yangqin back,
you cried and asked me
why the piano of that little boy was black
while yours was ginger.
You howled while rolling on the ground.
All the people laughed at you in the courtyard.
As a looker-on, Auntie Zhang who lived next door
thought that your voice was good,
so I should send you to learn bel canto.
After learning it for some days,
you really liked it.
I
like Yangqin?
You must cheat me.
I worried that you would refuse to acknowledge it,
so I left the evidence.
Back then, in our courtyard,
only you and that little boy learnt musical instruments,
and that group of gossip women who were led by Auntie Zhang
always made comments akimbo.
Sometimes they went to enjoy the piano music.
They thought it sounded noble, as if they were in Vienna.
Sometimes they squat under our window
and thought you were so awesome that
the tune sounded exciting.
After hearing these words,
you really became serious.
As a result, one day,
that little boy laughed at you that
the tunes that you played were all outdated.
Then you were angry
and went to challenge him
with Yangqin.
It turns out that it can be used in this way.
During the winter vacation of this year, I found it from your cabinet,
but I regarded it as a teacup mat.
Back then, our cell phones just could take photos.
At the time, you pushed Yangqin
and went to challenge that little boy.
I didn't stop you,
so I followed you and took some photos.
Where did that little boy move?
What's his name?
I really forget it.
Is he surnamed Zhang or Wang?
His family moved later than us,
but not long after they lived,
we separated
because of the demolition of our courtyard.
In that summer,
you and that little boy
really enriched our life in the courtyard.
After going back home,
I asked you liked the piano or Yangqin.
Back then,
you straightened your belly
and told me akimbo that
you liked
Yangqin
and the piano was indeed fashionable and superior,
but the sound of Yangqin
could make people happy.
Later, I never interfered with you again.
What if I was lazy,
and I was too lazy to give up?
How old was I then?
You just left me alone?
Laziness isn't inherited in our family.
Don't fool me.
Our family can't rest.
We always get ready and take actions
before we make a plan.
Look at your grandpa.
He doesn't know he has turned the diabolo upside down.
He has practiced it for two hours.
Then why don't you remind him?
It's also a kind of having fun.
Chen Jing.
I rarely tell you the truth.
Right?
But today, I want to share a sentence with you.
Can you listen to it?
In your future world,
many things may depreciate,
but only one thing
will never depreciate.
Do you know what it is?
House.
It's experience.
Only experience will never depreciate.
Growing up has surprises and living now makes sense.
Baby, don't worry.
Find me at any time.
I'm Chen Aim High,
and my Buddhist name is Bright Lamp.
I'm responsible for directing the way.
Dad, I have a question for you.
Go ahead.
Dad.
Today is Monday.
You just lie here
without going to work?
Dad.
I'm going to work.
Slow down, watch out.
My cousin is in charge of recruiting in her company.
She said that
after they received the resumes,
they would throw half of them away first.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because the company doesn't want to recruit those with bad luck.
Really?
Your cousin scared you?
Seriously,
what major can find a job easily now?
Electrical, civil engineering and software?
Yueta, why are you still dressed like this?
Did you watch too many time-travel plays?
Ying, what are you going to do in the future?
I surely know what to do.
You still learn to play Erhu?
That doesn't work.
You can't live on it in the future.
I have been in fatal danger a long time ago.
The world is chaotic.
If Your Majesty has energy to spare,
you'd better consider
how to save your life.
I ask you.
What's wrong with you?
Cousin, do you learn this?
It's youth.
What can be youth exchanged for?
Success.
What is success?
Shout it out.
Tell me aloud.
Pass the exam.
What should we do?
Open our eyes and start to compete.
A hard year and a happy life.
Good, we are the best.
We are the best.
You still have so much.
I'll eat again. I'll take another bite.
I will have another piece.
Give it to me. Give it to me.
No.
I just had all the seeds in that piece.
What's wrong with one more bite?
Give it to me...
Give me a piece.
No.
What are you guys doing?
I can see a lot of stars here today.
Worry is hard to dispel and I can't have it all.
I advance without reliance and warning.
It's better to be brave. It's better not to be afraid.
Stay and leave, lose and get.
Take a look.
Yueta.
I laid you an invisible red carpet for you.
Stop watching us!
Do you want an autograph?
Did you bring a pen?
It's better to smile. It's better not to shed tears.
Is everyone happy in summer holiday?
Storms will never end.
Ruffle.
I've won.
You won so much money.
Yes.
Yes. Loser.
Once you catch up with us,
you will have a lesson.
This round.
Wait for this round. This round.
Yes.
A big bet.
Flash Wing Chun.
Are you ready to start training?
Be serious.
It can reinforce and guard you as well.
It's tailored for you
who is introverted and honest.
Start.
Shen Jing.
Ms. Chen...
Is Ms. Chen okay?
Help us protect her.
Sister. Sister.
Sister. Sister. Sister.
Sister.
Sister. Sister.
Child.
No. The tree is innocent.
The tree is innocent.
I dig a trench
to make it seep better.
It seems that I really have to take back the key.
Sister.
I worry about you.
Worry about me for what?
News about Brother Anyu.
Are you...
I know it.
Then you...
How can I do?
Sister.
My dad told me a sentence today.
Can I tell you?
My dad said that only experience in life will not depreciate.
Sister, you have been in love with a big star.
Yes.
I've been in love with a big star.
When you get old,
your grandchildren will have to kneel and listen to this story.
Yes.
If I still
can marry someone.
Even if you won't get married,
it may be a booster
if you think of this before death.
This is simply a miracle.
But only those at your age
like things like miracles.
But at my age,
some children abused me
as an old aunt before holiday.
Sister.
No matter how old I am,
and no matter how old you are,
all those who mocked us
with age are scum.
No matter what will happen to you and Brother Anyu,
sister, this experience will be worthwhile.
Don't be sad.
Summer vacation is coming to an end, right?
Sister.
You won't ask me
about my summer homework now, right?
My summer vacation
is also over.
Parting for a summer vacation,
you have a little foreign aristocratic temperament.
Nonsense.
Really, I decided to call you
Mona Lisa Fatty from today.
Bullshit. I'm not fat.
How did you learn English in summer, oversea student?
Let me talk to you.
Soldier, dinner.
What happened to you?
I
am fine.
As the dean, I look forward to
seeing you all coming back on time
on the first day of school before each vacation.
But today,
one student did not return.
Li Sa of the horn performance major
had a relapse of old diseases during summer vacation.
He had been treated in Beijing.
But sadly,
yesterday,
due to invalid treatment,
Li Sa
left us forever.
Is that a lie?
Is it a lie?
He also sent me a funny video yesterday.
I thought he was annoying.
I even scolded him.
The day after tomorrow, there will be a memorial meeting for Li Sa.
The school hopes that all students will participate in it.
It is regrettable that Li Sa left.
He still had
many unfulfilled ideals in his life.
But for physical reasons,
he can no longer achieve them.
So students,
please cherish your time now.
Dreg, are, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Senior Li Sa, he...
He died.
I know.
Dreg.
Don't hold on firmly.
I'm really fine.
Birth, senility, illness and death take their courses.
Sa was in poor health.
I knew this.
Thanks to the students who came to memorialize Li Sa today.
Thank you all.
My son, Li Sa,
was born on April 6, 2000
and passed away at 6:35 p.m.
on August 25, 2017.
In his short seventeen years,
he harvested love of his parents,
teachers' guidance and caring of classmates.
He left us due to physical reasons.
But I believe
his life was worthwhile.
That's all.
Thank you all.
Senior Li Sa was my best friend
in Zhongxia Conservatory of Music.
I really liked him.
He taught me a lot
and brought me a lot of joy.
I often visited him after he was ill.
Now he left me.
But his looks
will always stay in my heart.
When Senior Li Sa was sick,
he once discussed with me in the ward
about the topic of life and death.
Although I stopped him from thinking
such a topic,
I still remembered what he said to me then
in my heart.
He said,
if one day he died unluckily,
he wanted to say goodbye
with different music
and his favorite song.
So,
today,
after getting consent from uncle and aunt,
I decide to complete this plan for him.
Li Sa,
the music you like will be played soon.
All of us will hear it.
Can you hear?
Why is this junior so calm?
He is a little horrible.
Why does Li Sa's junior
have such a strong anti-pressure ability?
Maybe he is cold-blooded.
Two of my friends went to the Bungee Jumping Game.
Left me behind without a note or a glam.
Mr. Wang,
Li You is
really very strange.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Take good care of yourselves to avoid psychological illness.
Friend's death
may have an impact on your mentality.
If you meet any difficulties,
tell me immediately, OK?
Where is Zhao Yimo
who always stays with you?
In this term, her parents keep an eye on her more closely.
They ask her to have a video chat every one hour
and don't allow them to stay with us.
Her rope was gone.
His side was wrong.
The Bungee Jumping Game suddenly become not so fun.
Her rope was gone.
His side was wrong.
The Bungee Jumping Game suddenly become not so fun.
Dreg, are you OK?
Let's go back.
I'm fine.
I want to wait here for a while.
I worry about you very much.
I've told you that
I'm fine.
You can tell me, if you feel sad.
We're your friends.
Your friends alive.
I'll absolutely tell you, if I feel miserable.
Morning is good,
because if I can wake up in the morning,
it shows that I can live one more day.
Night is bad,
because I worry that I'll oversleep and forget to get up.
Dreg, senior even didn't give up at last.
Uncle, auntie,
can you tell me
where will Li Sa's remains be buried?
He, he will go back to hometown with us.
Can you tell me the address of his cemetery?
In our hometown.
It's very far from here.
Is it meaningful to know it?
Yes, it's meaningful.
Just tell me.
Boy,
don't ask about it.
It's very far.
You need to go there by train and bus.
Don't ask about it.
We know
your kindness.
Li You,
we're leaving.
Uncle, auntie,
I don't care.
Just tell me.
Why are you so stubborn?
Stop that. Stop that.
Don't ask about it.
Uncle,
I beg you. Just tell me.
Tell me
which train and bus
I should take.
Why must you ask about it?
I must know
how I should go to chat with Sa
when I want in the future.
Boy,
Li Sa has left,
so you should also face the reality,
OK?
Come in.
Hello, Miss.
Your beds are tidy.
Do you prepare for the spot checks at the beginning of this term?
The school is much kinder than my parents.
Why didn't you go to the farewell party?
My mom asked me to have a video call
with her for an hour when there is no class.
She is afraid that I am delayed
and misled by others.
You just wait without doing anything.
The time is at your disposal.
Really?
They gave birth to me
to fulfill their dreams
with my time.
Yimo, where are you?
What are you doing?
I'm waiting for the video call with you in the dorm.
What?
It's noon. You should have practiced.
It's not my practice time.
Well.
I see.
What does the clothes you wear look like?
Pull away and let me have a look.
You're a teenager.
Mind your image.
It looks decent.
Don't wear fancy clothes.
Who are you?
Hello,
Zhao Yimo's mom.
I'm Chen Hexu,
a teacher in charge of the academic subjects in school.
We haven't met before.
Hello,
Miss Chen.
This is how it happened.
The school is officially in class today.
Yimo has kept her cell phone all the time
since she returned to school yesterday
and said she was told to do so by you.
Now I see her using cell phone again.
We are very strict
and have zero tolerance
for students using cell phones
in school.
So now I officially inform you that
I'll confiscate this cell phone.
The school doesn't want her to delay her study
nor influence other students.
If you have any questions,
call the school office
or go to my superior directly.
Thanks.
What do you mean?
I called my daughter...
Miss, are you going to confiscate it?
No.
Miss Chen,
what will you be like
when you have a child?
I can't imagine it.
Me, either.
Perhaps I'll be incompetent at parenting
if I have a child,
but I want to be a good fellow traveler.
Why?
I'll travel with him
and let go when he's not afraid of being hurt.
Maybe you won't think so
when you really have a child.
Yimo, teachers often tell you that
you're now a blank sheet of paper.
You're tired of that, right?
But you at this age are
a blank sheet of paper.
I don't mean to emphasize that you are simple,
but I want you to think about it.
When
draw on this paper in the future,
what color will you choose as the bottom color?
Career is one of choices.
Certainly, so is marriage.
Freedom will be the one most difficult to mix,
but it'll also be the most brilliant one.
For the choice of bottom color,
there is no so-called absolutely right one.
Marriage and children
are not necessities of life.
Success in your career
depends on your need for the world.
For some people,
freedom is an endless cage.
Can you understand what I said?
You can choose as you like,
but you don't have to choose.
However, none of these colors
are called parents.
Parents can help you pick up the paintbrush,
but they can't decide
the colors and rules on your paper.
Miss,
what are the colors
on your paper?
I was sketching in black and white,
but I suddenly got fancy ideas
and added some bright colors,
so
it becomes strange now.
So stick to being yourself,
or the painting will be out of style.
