[Imperfect Love]
[Episode 22]
Shang Wu.
What if you use this to cover my head?
Will it ease your anger?
That is a great idea.
Sister.
Will he die?
Untie him first.
You...
Where is Guo Zhi?
A girl.
Come here, help me out.
Ambulance.
Where is Guo Zhi?
Ambulance.
Where is Guo Zhi?
Ambulance.
Tell us where Guo Zhi is...
or we will let you die.
Outside.
In the dumpster.
Guo Zhi?
Hurry up.
Be gentle.
Come on.
Watch out.
Guo Zhi.
Be careful.
Take him out.
Send her to a hospital now!
Are you all right?
I am fine.
Ambulance!
Xu Zhi.
-Come here. -Mom
Xiao Ou came back secretly.
Xiao Ou?
Mom!
Why did you come back?
I followed the way home with GPS.
You are back on your own?
Yes, I did it on my own.
You can't come back alone from so far away.
Mom, I know how to play badminton now.
Good.
If you...
Mom, the game you gave me...
was loved by the other children.
I made it to a few levels now.
Great.
Also...
What is it?
All the time...
I pack my things in the welfare home...
and wait for you to pick me up.
Mom.
Why didn't you pick me up?
I don't want to go back.
I just want to be with you.
I don't want to go back.
Mom.
Guo Dong.
Why are you here?
I am here for you.
Yi Zhi, can we still be friends?
No.
But you are the father.
I will tell him that.
Yi Zhi, you are different now.
Lin Yi Zhi, it's your turn.
He was once my big baby.
I am Jiang Guo Dong.
That's you?
Do you want to see the baby?
Sure.
Come in.
Xu Zhi.
Xiao Ou came back on her own.
Will it affect your case in some way?
That case is not closed yet.
I don't think so.
However, ...
I am afraid I can't see her again.
It won't happen.
We were separated for 30 years.
Yet we reunited in the end.
I am sure you and Xiao Ou will be reunited again somehow.
She can stay here for the night.
Tomorrow, we'll send her back.
I will visit her grandmother this afternoon.
Let's go together.
Me?
Be careful.
Mom!
Auntie Yi Zhi!
Grandmother!
Granny Hui!
Good girl.
Come on.
Auntie Guo Zhi!
Xiao Ou, what about me?
What should you call me?
I am your uncle.
Uncle.
Geng Ping.
You never stop dreaming about...
marrying Guo Zhi.
You should at least help me out.
Yi Zhi.
Taking care of Guo Zhi...
is considered helping out.
See?
Our home has never been so merry before.
Indeed.
It's like celebrating the Spring Festival.
There is no boy here?
I am a boy, Auntie Yuan.
You can put on a wig to look like a girl.
She is right.
I will Guo Zhi's bestie if I have a wig.
Sister Ling.
In the past, we didn't call it bestie.
it was called sisters, right?
Yes, sisters.
Sisters shared secrets...
which were not for parents.
Yes.
Especially when we were dating boys.
Mom.
Mom!
What is dating?
Dating?
Auntie Guo Zhi and Uncle Geng Ping...
are dating right now.
Xiao Ou.
Do you have a boy you like?
Do you?
Yes!
I have many!
Many?
Xu Zhi.
You should learn from your daughter.
Mom.
Look at her.
She has a beautiful face...
but she can't even say the word "boy".
Xu Zhi.
You've never been in a relationship?
That's too much saying "never".
Wait.
Yes, there was one before.
I don't remember. When was that?
Mom, don't be so nosy.
There was one.
Xu Zhi.
Do you have someone in mind?
Mom
All right.
I think we should take a photo together.
Sure.
Come on.
You take a photo of us.
Xiao Ou, over here.
Geng Ping.
Thank you.
You are welcome, Auntie Yuan.
Xu Zhi, stand in the middle.
This time, everyone is here.
Look at the camera.
-Okay. -Are you ready?
Three, two, one.
Cheese!
Dr. Zhou.
You finally have the time to answer my call now?
I thought you hated that.
I just want to show I am concerned...
about the hobbies of literary ladies like you.
What's wrong with that?
Of course, you can.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, goodbye.
Okay, see you.
Sister?
You loved playing with mud as a kid.
That is called mud sculpturing.
Do you get it?
I didn't see you coming up with any artwork,
instead, I did wash plenty of your clothes...
that were covered in mud.
You are my older sister.
You have to look after your younger sister.
Otherwise, how do I show off to those single children...
that I am different?
I have a sister, they don't.
They can be jealous.
Hey.
I am your auntie.
From now on,
not only do I have to look after your mother,
I have to look after you too.
Listen to me.
Your mother...
loves to act like she is the toughest.
But she got scared very easily.
And she was also a cry-baby.
Sister.
He is moving.
Feel it, he is moving.
Do you feel it?
Auntie Guo Zhi.
What is my mom doing?
Xiao Ou, you'll be an older sister soon.
Aren't you excited?
Yes!
I will give him all my toys!
Guo Zhi.
Should prepare some gifts...
for your sister Yi Zhi?
She keeps picking on me.
You should be.
Even Xiao Ou is more thoughtful than you are.
What should I give her?
I need your advice.
I think she mentioned something about...
turning the second floor...
into a baby's room.
Let me check.
[Shangpin Home]
Free designing?
Shangpin Home?
I am sending her...
one set of customized furniture.
This looks good.
But I like this better!
Xiao Ou went to bed.
Is she asleep?
Is it done?
If I couldn't finish...
you will have to...
finish it for me.
I can get you some movie DVDs.
The night can be boring.
Do you know what marquee is?
Marquee?
It's said that...
before a person dies...
all of their memories...
will flashback...
like the marquee.
This may sound magical.
It's just like when I was on the run with you.
We ran from Dalian to Yingkou.
From Yingkou to Qinghuangdao.
And from Qinghuangdao to Tianjing.
And finally we arrived in Beijing.
I was holding your hand.
We shifted so many different buses to get to our destinations.
Back then...
everything went against our will.
I was always anxious
and scared.
But I'll tell you a secret.
I was so happy.
Having you with me while we ran away made my happy.
I am hoping to see...
that when the marquee flashes by...
I could see the younger you again.
I know you are doing this for me.
But from now on...
you must forget everything.
You did nothing.
I did all of that, is that clear?
Mom
I remember it now.
What do you remember?
I remember you.
I remember how you looked like.
Xiao Ou will also remember...
how you look like now.
I'm leaving.
You can keep against Lin Xu Zhi if you want.
Do you think you have a future with Xu Zhi?
I wouldn't know without trying.
If Xu Zhi wants to adopt Xiao Ou...
according to our laws...
she needs to be married.
You mean that's my chance?
She is not giving up on Xiao Ou anyway.
I remember from a movie...
that there is a line.
"God can't always be with us."
So God created mothers.
But after everything we've been through...
I realized that a mother isn't God.
You have to leave.
Where to?
Back to the welfare home.
I'll send you there in a while.
I forgot to feed the bird water.
Mom, do you not like me anymore?
Of course, I still like you.
I became a nuisance.
You are not a nuisance.
Why do you stop being my mom?
It's not that I don't want to be your mom.
I am your mom no matter what.
Even if we have to be separated...
I am still your mom.
Always.
Until we meet again.
When is that?
When you grow up.
I can't wait that long.
You will forget me if we meet again.
I definitely remember you.
You will forget me.
My face will be different.
I will grow taller.
You could forget me.
I won't.
I will always remember you.
I won't forget you.
I will recognize you.
But you could forget how I look!
So you must return to the welfare home today.
I don't want to go back there.

I want to be with my mom!
I will make sure I find you.
What if you couldn't find me?
That won't happen.
But I don't want to go back there.
Auntie Zhong, is there anything I could do?
I really want to help them.
Even if the law says...
they can't stay together.
Thank you, Xiao Guo.
I believe that one day...
they will be reunited.
Right.
Is there any progress on Xu Zhi's case?
Mu Jing signed the legal disclaimer.
The court will consider the fact...
Xu Zhi was trying to save someone.
So she won't be heavily punished.
Good.
Don't worry.
I am glad to hear that.
Auntie Zhong.
I am going back to Dalian.
Is there anything that concerns you in Dalian?
There is nothing left for me in Dalian.
Pass my gratitude to your father.
For these years,
he has been working hard with my case.
Sure.
Safe trip.
Thank you.
Li Ze got severely ill in prison.
He wants to see you.
I don't know that name.
Come.
Xiao Ou.
Do you still remember...
when you first met me...
you told me that...
I should forget unhappy things...
and remember happy things.
Shouldn't you do the same?
Mom.
Let's talk about the things that make us happy.
You go first.
I like Xiao Ou's little nose.
The noodles you made me.
Xiao Ou's little ears.
The way you look when you learned cooking from videos.
The way you look when you put on a baseball hat.
The way you look when I threw sea shells to you from the trees.
The way you look with two teeth missing.
When you came to my rescue.
When you put on my big T-shirt.
When you got angry at Uncle Tian Fang.
When you were holding my hand.
when you are angry.
I got angry?
Was I mad at you?
Really?
No.
The way you drive.
The way you sleep.
When you lied under the tree with me on your back.
The way you look when you are writing.
The way you sleep.
The way you got startled by fire.
Lin Xiao Ou will be my name, is that okay?
Then I'll be Lin Xiao Ou's mom.
I don't want you to be alone.
Mom.
Let's talk about the things that make us happy.
When you made me noodle.
When you were talking with Grandmother.
And when we celebrated your birthday.
And when you read me bedtime stories.
Mom.
You...
I am back.
Back for good?
Back for good.
[Property Certificate]
You didn't sell it?
Where did you get the money you gave?
Shareholder's dividend.
You fool.
Now that you are back...
you can still be my partner.
You can't do anything...
except making money.
But I should still sell my house.
If you do it now...
its price has increased 10% compare with the time when you left.
That is great.
I am planning a project...
called "Mother's Love".
There are many children...
that lack the love from a mother.
And since we want to be a mother,
wouldn't that be perfect?
Sure.
We don't need to get pregnant...
and get to have children.
Right?
How is the rate of profit?
This is a charity project.
We will be spending, not earning.
Otherwise, I would have kept the house.
How did I get a friend...
that costs me more money?
Let's go.
Let's put together a sum.
Let me introduce you.
Okay.
We are planning to build...
249 welfare houses in China.
We are glad to participate in this project.
Thank you for your kindness.
Such as the playground...
and sometimes at other facilities...
[Tongle Welfare Home]
Your name is Lian Sheng, but you are also my dear Xiao Ou.
I will be here for you...
to watch you grow up.
Mother of a seven years old Xiao Ou.
Mother of ten-year-old Xiao Ou.
Mother of 30-year-old Xiao Ou.
I will always be your mother.
No matter how you change...
how tall or heavy you are...
or where you are...
I will never fail to recognize you from the crowd.
Just like how I found my mother...
after I became your mother.
Do you know why I like migratory birds?
Because their story...
is about the value of a promise.
A promise about returning.
Based on the position of stars they saw...
when they are still a chick, ...
they can find their own path.
They never fail to come home no matter how far they fly.
That is why I believe...
we will be reunited once again.
We will be holding our hand together.
Just like me and my mother, reuniting once again...
even after 30 years.
As long as we have the memory of holding hand in hand...
it will become our guiding star...
leading us to each other.
Xiao Ou, I will be smiling...
as I wait for our future together.
I am glad I met you.
I am happy to become your mother.
The time I spent with you...
and the days I became your mother...
are all I have now.
And the day when I meet you once again...
will be a treasure...
I must find for myself.
Thank you, Xiao Ou.
I love you. Sincerely from: Mother.
I love you too, mom.
