Farewell
1
Anything you have changed
may warp the space and time,
and rewrite the future.
But there's an exception.
At some point in time,
there is an important node.
Even if you accidentally alter
all the previous course,
but if there's no change about the
result of what happened at the node.
Then
nothing will be changed.
Last night at 2030 hour,
7.8 magnitude earthquake
occurred in Fengchuan County.
The focal depth is 15 kilometers.
Strong tremor in many places.
The earthquake caused other natural
disasters such as mountain collapse.
I am now located in Linjiang Town,
Fengchuan County, the worst-hit disaster.
We can see that the
local rescue plan has started.
Search and rescue work are proceeding.
Within 4 hours after the earthquake,
several buried people have been rescued
from the rubble one after another.
But the specific number
of people affected,
no detailed statistics are available yet.
No matter how the process changes,
they are all doomed
in the final result!
Am I right?
Auntie, just stay at home.
I'll be back later!
What?! What did you call me?
Auntie?!
It's dark outside, where are you going?
Cheng Xiaoshi,
you can't save them!
They are already dead.
What you are seeing is just
a little piece of the past!
What's more, death is an important node
that can't be crossed.
No matter how hard you try,
their destiny can't be turned around.
And it could even cause--
the disappearance of
the life we have now!
Xiao Xiao,
why are your hands trembling nonstop?
It's so hot today,
yet your hands are ice cold.
Are you sick?
I'm fine.
There must be something wrong.
Let go.
Luckily, it's not fever.
I just remembered.
I forgot to tell Hongbin
something important.
I'll be right back.
Don't worry.
It's still late at night.
Can't you leave it until school tomorrow?
Lu Guang.
You told me they're dead.
But the warmth from the hand.
It's so real.
Cheng Xiaoshi, think carefully.
If you tell everyone about the earthquake,
how much panic it will cause?
By the time,
the result could be worse.
♬ Wind, you have to blow gently ♬
♬ Bird, you have to sing softly ♬
♬ My little baby ♬
♬ My little baby ♬
♬ Is about to fall asleep ♬
♬ Baby's eyes are like mum's ♬
Lu Hongbin,
I think you hit your head.
Can you feed yourself with playing ball?
Eat yourself then.
From today onwards,
I don't care about your food anymore.
Don't eat then.
Who's scared?
Hey, what's with this?
Isn't this child usually reliable?
The kid is still growing.
How can you not let him eat?
These kids are obsessed
with playing basketball.
How can you think of
that as the future, silly?
Cheng Xiao? Why'd you come?
Leave, quickly.
Are you kidding me?
My knee hasn't recovered yet.
Where can I go?
Cheng Xiao.
He's like that already,
where are you taking him?
You're the one who led him astray, right?
Aunty, that's not what I meant.
But you really have to hurry up.
Driving us away？
What do you mean!
Chen Xiao, what are you talking about?
Lu Hongbin, please.
Bring Liu Meng and leave
the town immediately! Hurry up!
Perhaps you want to go
play the tournament now?
There's still two weeks left.
What's with the hurry?
What to play?
The school decided to demolish
the court long time ago.
Today is the last game.
Crap.
Teacher Ma didn't mention any of that.
--Who do you think you are?
--Teacher Ma--
That's enough. Leave if you want to.
I'm trying to help you all.
Don't think because you had
a glorious moment today
you can tell others what to do!
Brother, calm down.
I'm sure he has a reason, too.
Tonight at 8:30 p.m.
There will be an earthquake.
Liu Meng, isn't your dad in the city?
Contact him right away.
And stay there for the night.
Okay.
You're secretly contacting
your dad behind my back.
Mum, I haven't decided.
Decided what?
You really want to go study in the city.
Tell him to give up!
If you wanna follow
this heartless bastard,
then don't think of me as your mum.
Mum, didn't she say
she hasn't decided yet?
Both of you.
One always dream of playing in the city.
The other wants to study in the city.
I worked so hard to raise you both up.
What do I want?
Mum, stop making trouble.
Me making trouble?
Let the neighbours have a say.
Who is the sorry one?
What you say and do will cause commotion,
making the past more unpredictable.
You can't save who are
destined to die tonight.
And possibly kill those who are innocent.
Someone said there will be
an earthquake tonight.
Is it true?
Where did he hear from?
But it is weird tonight.
So hot.
That's right,
--my dog barked for the whole day.
--Mine too, like crazy.
Is it the premonition of an earthquake?
Yes, dogs are spiritual.
If it's real
Cheng Xiao, are you crazy?
Why should there be an earthquake?
Be Because.
That's right, where did it come from?
Hey.
--Tell us.
--If there is,
we need to evacuate the town.
Don't simply spread the news.
--Earthquakes have levels, too.
--What if it's a small scale one?
It will become a joke
if the town is alarmed.
What is happening?
Yeah, what if it's a rumour?
Yeah, really.
It's written in a magazine.
How can you take the words
in books seriously?
Good thing we didn't believe it,
or it will become a real joke.
Cheng Xiao, you're going?
You should study hard.
Learn some serious knowledge.
Such a kid.
I want to save them.
Save everyone.
We can't control what has happened.
Lift your head,
and look forward.
Lu Guang.
Can you save my mum?
Only one.
Can you please let me save her only?
All right.
I'll tell you what you should do.
Thank you, Lu Guang.
Earthquake?
I went to Lu Hongbin's house.
The rumour has the town overflowed.
Doesn't matter if it's real or not.
Let's just get ready.
Hey, wait a minute.
I'll go and pack some stuff.
Don't take it if the disaster is imminent.
The earthquake also caused
a mountain collapse
and buried half of the town.
It's more dangerous to escape outside.
Cheng Xiao was saved
when he was at the dining room.
Brother, are you still mad at mum?
I'm not, the sky looks pretty tonight.
I'll watch it for a while.
Mum ask me to bring some rice to you.
I'm not hungry.
Starve yourself then.
What did Cheng Xiao say after you
mentioned studying in the city?
I couldn't care less what he thinks about.
Why'd you still tell him then?
It's almost 8:30 p.m.
I won't help you if you
can't finish your work.
An earthquake will happen
tonight at 8:30 p.m.
Stop packing.
All can be earned back
when we save our lives.
All right, I'm almost done.
No time, wait no more.
Hey, kid.
Say, Liu Meng.
There won't be
an earthquake tonight, right?
Huh, I trusted you.
Where is the earthquake?
Playing hide and seek at such late hours.
Lu Guang, will the
earthquake never happen?
Oh no, I forgot something.
Don't move, I'll take it for you.
Ah! Mum!
Liu Meng, Mum!
Xiao Xiao!
Don't come out!
Xiao Xiao, are you all right?
I'm good, what about you?
I'm fine, just a little tired
and I wanna rest.
Cheng Xiaoshi,
exit the picture if it's too hard for you.
Son, don't be afraid.
Mum is here.
You'll be fine when I'm here.
Xiao Xiao,
Mum doesn't know much.
--Bad memories, bad temper.
--Stop smoking in the house. Get out.
Look at our son suffocating.
I only know a few dishes
that your dad loves.
Mum didn't study much.
Can't teach you anything.
The only thing I can do
is support my two favourite people.
To do the things they like.
So Xiao Xiao,
if you like to play, go and play.
Go to the city if you want to.
Don't blame me for being too selfish.
I'm just reluctant when
I thought of you leaving.
When you were young,
I can imagine your face.
♬ Wind, you have to blow gently ♬
--♬ Bird, you have to sing softly ♬
--I'm scared of the dark,
mum stay with me.
--♬ Bird, you have to sing softly ♬
--I'm scared of the dark,
mum stay with me.
--♬ My little baby ♬
Xiao shi don't be afraid.
Mum is here.
♬ My little baby ♬
♬ Is about to fall asleep ♬
♬ Baby's eyes are like mum's ♬
Mum!
I'm scared, I'm scared of dark.
I'm scared of being alone!
I heard a cry, there might be
people down there.
--Here, someone is here!
--Move the machine here.
Mum! The help is here! Wake up! Please!
It's open! There's two down there.
Hold that rock, don't let it collapse.
Comrade reporter.
--Here is under construction
to rescue you can't pass.
--This is my house,
--Here is under construction
to rescue you can't pass.
I want to find my wife and kid.
Within 4 hours after the earthquake,
several buried people have been rescued
from the rubble one after another.
But the specific number
of people affected,
--My mum is still inside, please save her.
--no detailed statistics
are available yet.
Student, please calm down.
Leave the rest for us.
She's still alive.
Please, save her quick.
Save her.
Hurry up and leave.
Farewell, my dearest.
I'm sorry.
Why do you lie to me?
Why do you still want her dead?
In order to make everything stay the same.
If I can't save them,
then what's the point
of delivering the words?
After so many years.
If I could've cought the bus
back to town earlier that day,
the result may be different.
Fool.
I have said,
past or future,
because we can't change the past.
When I was cleaning the house yesterday,
I unexpectedly found these old things.
I thought it was buried by the earthquake.
Hi, can I print photos
from the old camera here?
Sure, what film is that?
Oh the film is still in there, but
Don't question the future,
as the future will change
because of us.
The camera is a little damaged.
See if you still can print it.
Oh no, I forgot something.
Don't move, I'll take it for you.
Camera, the camera.
Leader, I have something to say.
I've been dreaming recently
about the tournament with Long Yang.
As your substitute,
scoring three pointers and dunking.
Beating the opponent.
I woke up
and miss the days
when we could play together.
When I grow up,
I will still play on the court.
But without you guys
who take turns to play with.
The guys who blame me
for not shooting well.
Without those, you are still
willing to pass the ball to me.
The court
will never be the same again.
So.
Chen Xiao, come play together.
Come here quick.
Thank you, leader.
It's your perseverance.
Allow me to add
the memories of friendship.
Hey, are you two
anode and cathode?
Get closer.
Liu Meng.
When I heard you wanted to go to the city,
I was really happy for you.
The city has better education,
and better development prospects.
I hope you can go as soon as possible.
Immediately, it's best to leave right now.
And I will
be admitted to a school
in the city not long after.
Then catch up to you.
Okay! Pinkie promise!
Mum, I'm just a substitute.
While taking photos, let me go please.
This is your dad's
first camera, don't break it.
Your dad said he liked
taking pictures back then.
I bought this using
half a year of savings.
Didn't you hate dad taking pictures?
I do hate him.
Taking pictures of others
with the camera all day.
Come, take one for your mum.
See if the camera is still usable.
♬ Wind, you have to blow gently ♬
♬ Bird, you have to sing softly ♬
♬ Baby's mouth ♬
♬ Like dad and mom ♬
What are you two doing?
Stop doing as you like.
Just want some rest,
the studio will operate as usual.
Cheng Xiaoshi, are you in this, too?
All right then, let me know
when you're done resting.
Excuse me,
Is there an old witch
able to enter picture's time?
Sorry, but there isn't such service.
Neither a witch, please find someone else.
I'm Xiao Li, police.
