Don't cry.
People around
thought I was bullying you.
Sorry.
I just feel so bad.
Later,
you need to
take good care of Li Jianjian.
She's irritable,
not as stable as you.
Watch her more.
Okay.
Don't worry.
After you leave,
I'll send you messages every time,
just as I did
as before.
Thank you.
Why did you say thanks?
Aren't we good friends?
Why did you say thanks?
If you can't
get used to meals there,
tell me.
I can send food to you.
You've said it many times.
No, we have to
tell him clearly.
He's getting late.
Hurry up. Don't be late.
Hurry up.
Call me when you arrive.
Don't blame them.
I'll tell them.
Don't worry, Mr. Li.
Take care
of yourselves at home.
OK. I know.
Seat belt. Fasten it up.
Drive slowly. Be careful.
Or you see him off?
You, hurry up.
Bye.
Call me when you arrive.
Call me as soon as you get off the plane.
Jianjian.
Your second brother will leave tomorrow.
Are you really not coming back to see him off?
What are you doing?
Why are you so headstrong?
You are going to break up
with your two brothers?
You had maintained a close relationship with them for so many years.
Can you just break it off?
I beg you.
Come back to see him off.
♫Darling♫
♫Sometimes♫
♫I feel really exhausted♫
Buckled?
Yes.

I will send you delicious food.
Okay, I know, dad.
♫in loneliness♫
It's cold on the plane.
Ask them to give you blanket.
Sister.
Then hurry up. Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Then you have to drive carefully.
You are irritable.
♫This is what growing up is like♫
I'll be careful.
Don't worry.
Dad.
When Li Jianjian comes back,
inform me.
I'll talk with her.
Okay.
Don't worry.
I guess it she will accept this after a couple of months.
Dad, take care.
Don't worry.
Seat belt.
Okay.
♫We used to rely on each other♫
Fasten it up.

♫Where have you♫
♫been now?♫
♫Let's go together.♫
Dear students,
a new semester has begun.
Welcome you back to the campus.
Let us join hands…
How is your summer vacation?
Pretty good. How about you?
It's all right.
Here you are.
Study hard to make progress every day.
Mingyue.
Let us, with full enthusiasm
and abundant experience…
I miss you so much.
Why did you spend an entire summer vacation
at your grandma's house?
You are tanned.
Don't mention it.
You know what?
A lot of my cousins
haunted me every day.
I just led them to play around.
That really fits you.
You must have fun.
You know what,
it's fun to play on mountains!
I learned from my cousins
to make traps to catch pheasants and wild rabbits.
Wow!
Moreover,
the bullfrog in the paddy field
is such big.
Don't talk about bullfrogs.
Have you contacted your brothers?
Did you call them?
What do you mean?
You really want to break up with them?
No.
Then why didn't you call them?
You can call them
if you miss them.
You can ask them
for their new phone numbers via QQ.
Is this serious?
You can't live together
as they go to college.
You even spent a whole summer vacation
in your grandma's house.
You are too naïve.
I'm naïve?
Yes.
Actually,
I feel sorry for your brother.
He is not willing.
But he can't help it.
Although she didn't raise him,
she is his real mother.
No matter how unfeeling he said he was,
they are still families linked with blood.
In addition, he has
an underage younger sister.
He can only…
Tang Can.
Leading actress.
Tang Can. Leading actress.
Tang Can.
Leading actress.
Tang Can. Tang Can. Tang Can.
Tang Can, I saw the news.
Are you the leading actress now?
Not yet.
There is another competitor.
Then when will
your play start to be shot?
October
I'm waiting now
for the last news to enter the filming site.
Leading actress
is almost you, really.
I read the news about you.
The little girl next to you
is not as good as you.
Yes, exactly.
Look has nothing to do
with the selection of roles.
The important thing is to fit the role.
Yeah.
Depending on look
is not professional at all.
Hey, why are you everywhere?
They won't use you
due to your look anyway.
Ugly.
I will beat you.
I just watched Li Jianjian going out.
What happened?
Who knows what's wrong with her.
Just in front of the monitor,
she kicked the table.
♫Soulful dreams♫
♫fade to gold♫
♫No telling where they go♫
♫While you slumber♫
♫Slowly flow♫
♫I still care♫
♫It's not fair♫
♫We ain't never♫
♫Come back in time♫
♫Wish days would never hide♫
♫Raindrops down on my face♫
♫Old alleyways♫
♫Just fade away♫
♫like in visionless haze♫
♫One day♫
♫And someday♫
♫We will be brave♫
♫I know♫
♫We will♫
Two more people?
♫If rain starts to fall down♫
♫So wear it♫
♫and carry on♫
♫Those days with love and bound♫
♫Those days with love and bound♫
♫Ready to be strong♫
♫If rain feels to stay on♫
♫Maybe, it just got lost♫
♫There'll be sunbow somehow♫
♫When we you look up high♫
♫It will shine♫
♫sometime♫
♫You're always there walking me long♫
♫Whenever something let me down♫
♫You make me feel where I belong♫
♫Face myself♫
♫If rain starts to pour down♫
♫You've taught me to fly on♫
Little girl, wake up.
♫There has always been that rainbow♫
Little girl.
I'm off work.
You've been sitting back and forth for three times.
♫Flying with the love you gave me,♫
Your ticket is worthy.
Get off now.
♫I see myself with big wings♫
Oh.
Thank you, sir.
Li Jianjian.
What's wrong, Wang Doudou?
My mother said your second brother
went to study abroad?
His rich dad
recognized him?
Yeah.
And your brother
also went back to his mother?
I didn't expect it.
My mother used to say
it's risky to raise children
for other people.
You see now?
This time your family
gains nothing.
Watch out your mouth.
Don't speak if you don't know what to say.
Why are you so fierce?
I just think
your two brothers have no conscience
and I feel sorry for you.
Why don't my two brothers
have a conscience?
They just went to study in colleges outside.
They'll be back after graduation.
You know nothing about my family.
I just think
they two have no conscience.
Zhu Bajie has gone to the college in the Northeast.
If I beat you now,
no one will come to protect you.
Your two brothers
leave you since ever.
No one is protecting you either.
Wang Doudou, do you want to be beaten?
Nope.
Don't be angry.
Leave me alone.
What are you mad at?
I just asked you some tiny questions.
What are you mad at?
How many points
did you score this time?
Shut up.
Tell me.
Mom.
Mrs. Qian.
Hey, Doudou.
Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Wang.
Why are you back together?
We just came across each other.
Jianjian.
I heard
your brothers
both returned to their families?
Do you still connect them on the phone?
Yes.
They are still conscientious.
Otherwise, it's really meaningless to raise them.
They just separated now.
So they are still close.
Later,
when they work after graduation,
if they can go back to take care of them,
they will be really conscientious.
Jianjian,
you grew up with them together.
Do you miss them?
Ah, well,
my dad is urging me to have dinner home.
I have to go.
Goodbye, granny. Goodbye, Mrs. Wang.
Oh, okay, goodbye.
Well, I have to go too.
I have to go home to cook.
Okay.
Bye, Mrs. Qian.
Oh, bye.
Let me make you some good food.
I want to eat meat.
Can you handle it?
Good then.
You know,
your mom is inconvenient to move now.
She must be emotionally unstable.
You always have to give in to her.
Jian-Jianjian, you are back.
Jianjian is back.
Hold on.
Your brother is on phone.
Hold on.
She is changing shoes.
You, you, you hold on. Don't hang up.
Hey, Jianjian.
Jianjian.
She rushes to the toilet.
You know
her temper too.
Ah?
OK, let's talk later. Mind your business.
Bye.
Oh, I'm starving.
What are we going to eat today?
Li Jianjian.
Sit down.
Why are you so fierce?
What do you want?
Ah?
Are you planning to
break up with your two brothers since ever?
You didn't answer their calls.
You grew up
together since childhood.
You have to cherish
your friendship.
Do you know?
You even said "cherish."
Oh, is it that serious?
You,
You stubborn…
Put it down!
I'm talking to you seriously.
Be serious.
Okay.
Go ahead, boss.
Tell me.
What exactly do you want?
I want nothing.
I just want
neighbors not to
always laugh at you
for raise them in vain when they meet me.
I just want
my classmates and friends
not to always mention me that
I used to have brothers
when they see me.
I just want to re-adapt to
the life of the only-child family.
I just want,
I want,
I want my world to be silent.
Don't, don't hurry.
Speak slowly.
How about you peel while talking?
Dad.
I am not angry with
them as they left to study
abroad or in Singapore.
I just,
I understand through this matter that
they actually
have nothing to do
with our family.
If one day one of us
becomes unconscious and waits for the operation,
they will not even be qualified
to sign operation the consent form.
You…
You called them brothers
for so many years.
That doesn't count?
Although they are brothers,
they are not my real brothers.
Till now,
I finally understand
our previous thought
was too naïve.
Taking those who have a good relationship with us as families
is just like children's game
of Playing House.
Your brothers
must be heartbroken
if they hear your words.
You know best in your hearts
whether they are good to you or not.
Your second brother
always left everything delicious to you,
protected you everywhere
and took the blame for you
without any complaints.
And your first brother
always tried his best to care about you.
I won't list other examples.
During your growth,
he always sent you
to continuation class every time on weekends
without missing a time.
How many real brothers
can be as good
as them?
Jianjian,
tell me honestly.
Do you think it's a good thing
for your second brother to study abroad?
It's a good thing.
It's a good thing.
He just wants to save money
and save his tuition for our family.
Besides, he can go abroad to learn
what he wants to learn.
Of course it is a good thing.
Then does your first brother want to
go to Singapore?
That's because his real mother is there.
What can he do
to his real mother?
What else choice does he have?
Jianjian,
just like me and your mother
who formed a family,
you will also
form your own family
and leave me in the future.
But this does not mean
we are not a family anymore.
It doesn't mean
we don't care about each other any more.
The hearts of real families
are always together
wherever they are.
But I don't want them to leave.
I don't want them to leave.
Who wants to let them leave?
When young,
we never thought of separation
but always felt that time was very slow,
very slow.
We were always worried
when we could grow up.
But time
is lost
on the white paper in the class when we were absent-minded
in a moment of joy,
or in tears.
At any time,
there is an invisible hand
that is leading us.
It is silent,
but it never stops.
Happy New Year.
Time passes year after year
in the blink of an eye,
but it's so similar,
dull
without any fluctuation.
But it just quietly changes.
Good things come in pairs.
Wish you luck and a fortune in four seasons.
Give me the red envelope.
Yes.
Wish you progress in study.
Thanks, Mr. Ling.
May you smoothness.
May you blooming business
every day.
I love to hear this.
Here you are.
Dad, give me the red envelope.
Come and have a piece of meat.
I'm rich.
Hey, Mr. Li.
Happy New Year.
Yes. We are watching the Spring Festival Gala.
We are watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Then
we work hard
to stop time changing us.
Brother, second brother, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Ziqiu.
Are you in the park?
Happy New Year.
What did you say?
Ah, yes.
I'm in the park.
There is no taste of New Year at all.
Have you eaten New Year's Eve dinner?
We are eating.
Dad is calling others for New Year greeting.
Mr. Ling is watching that sketch
of the Spring Festival Gala.
I'll call him for you.
Mr. Ling.
Yes?
I'm videoing with brother.
Come here.
Okay.
Coming, coming.
Hey, Ziqiu.
Ling Xiao.
Happy New Year.
Dad, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Hey, Ziqiu?
His internet is not good.
Mr. Ling, Happy New Year.
Ah the signal is not so good.
It's always stuck.
Happy,
Happy New Year.
It's okay.
It's good to see you.
Why are you both losing weight?
Eat more meat.
Heping.
Your phone rings.
Oh, coming.
Okay.
Then you guys talk.
I'm going to make calls.
How nice.
Once it comes to six o'clock,
their phones
keep ringing.
What did you eat for
your New Year's Eve dinner?
I ordered dishes from the restaurant.
But
they are not as delicious as those cooked by Mr. Li.
Of course.
Oh, I've been stuck here.
Damn signal.
What did you eat tonight?
Can you find a place
with better signal?
We talked about this topic just now.
You are always late.
Didn't you go to Zhao Huaguang's house to celebrate the New Year?
Why must I go to Zhao Huaguang's house?
I don't have anything to talk with him
or his wife.
We fight as soon as we meet.
By the way,
we overseas students
will have a celebration tonight.
We'll make dumplings
together.
We don't make dumplings
to celebrate the New Year at home.
He makes dumplings abroad.
Your signal is really so weak!
What are you doing these two days?
I'll go to grandma's home with dad tomorrow.
On the second day, we'll go to my maternal grandma's home.
On the third day, we'll visit relatives.
On the fourth day, relatives will visit us at home.
I told dad
we can have a meal
in a restaurant.
He said he's a chef
and it's not good to dine outside.
He insisted cooking.
As you know,
we have so many
kid relatives.
They always want me to play with them.
You're also a kid.
Don't say such words.
Forget it.
My signal is too weak.
I'll call dad
when I go back tonight.
I'm going off line.
Bye.
Okay.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
We tried hard to
express our care.
We tried hard
to shorten the distance.
Why do you keep smiling at me?
I'm happy to
see you.
Annoying.
Well, by the way,
the pineapple tart you sent back
is so delicious.
Thank you so much.
I've given Qi Mingyue
her portion as you asked.
She said thank you.
If you really want to thank me,
then
act like a spoiled child.
I'm not a spoiled child.
Brother, what are you doing?
Well, I'm having a video call.
Go out and play.
No.
I don't want to eat alone.
Go.
It doesn't matter.
Just go. Go.
Li Jianjian?
What are you talking to my brother for?
He's my brother,
not yours.
It's rude of you to say that. Apologize.
Sorry.
Let's go.
Let's go to eat.
Go.
Don't be mad.
She's just a kid.
I'm going to eat.
When Ziqiu comes back to his dorm,
I'll contact you again.
Okay.
I haven't finished dinner either.
I'm going too.
I'm going to hang up.
Go.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Let's eat.
We all tried hard,
tried hard
to fight against time
and distance.
Jianjian,
come over here.
Your cousin wants to talk to you.
Coming.
In 2012,
when I was admitted to the local university
for sculpture study as an exception,
my brother suspended schooling
in order to look after his mother.
Ziqiu also became very busy.
What my dad had said
were being verified one by one.
He said
adults should be busy.
Dad,
I've been at school.
Don't worry.
I'm not going abroad.
Okay, okay.
I'm not going back
for lunch today.
Okay, bye-bye.
Congratulations to our college student
on going to school today.
No early love.
I'm already 18.
It should not be early love.
You made fewer calls recently.
Is your mom…
Thanks. I got it.
After going to college,
I realized that
one would lead an easier life in college
was just a lie.
I became very busy.
Besides the classes,
I had a lot of homework to do.
How are you doing recently?
Is everything going well at school?
And time seemed to
suddenly awake,
as if it were in a hurry to somewhere.
It led us ahead
and before we reacted,
more than two years had passed.
In this year when
I and my brother were junior,
Ziqiu graduated.
But,
he hadn't come back.
Well…
Why do you want to
make dessert suddenly?
It's mainly because
I think it's interesting to
make dessert.
And,
because of my major,
I have to go to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou
to get a good job.
But I only want to
develop in our hometown
after graduation.
I can get good development by learning dessert.
Dad,
sorry.
I promised to go back
right after graduation, but…
It doesn't matter.
Just focus on your learning.
Well, dad,
why doesn't Li Jianjian speak?
Is she mad?
Hello.
Why am I mad?
It's good for you to learn a new skill.
As you like it,
just learn it.
I need to enjoy the noodles.
I have to go to school later.
Oh. Okay.
It's good that you're not mad.
You think too much.
Jianjian is busy
helping her senior
with her
graduation design exhibition.
She's even too busy to have meals.
Okay.
Dad, take care.
Ask Li Jianjian to have meals on time.
Okay.
You should also have meals on time.
I'm gonna hang up.
Bye-bye.
Jianjian.
Dad,
I have to go.
They had urged me just now.
I'm going, bye.
Be careful on the way.
I got it.
Someday,
I suddenly found
separation
was normal in life.
Just like a dandelion seed,
where it flew to,
where it would grow.
It'd have new land,
new friends
and new dreams.
I made it.
It's too sweet.
It looks appetizing.
When you come back…
Amazing.
Great.
Gradually,
because of separation,
we became distant
and didn't talk a lot
no matter how much we cared about each other.
It's your son.
He wants you. You talk to him.
You talk to him. Don't you miss him?
Son.
Dad,
are you with Li Jianjian?
Yes.
We're having dinner.
Mr. Ling misses you.
How's your mom?
She can stand up
without auxiliary tools recently.
She has made great progress
and she's in good mental state.
Oh.
Well.
Do you send and pick up
your sister every day?
She can help
with the housework now.
That's great.
In that case, you'll lead an easier life.
How are you doing lately?
I'm doing well.
But Mr. Li is annoyed with
Jianjian.
He thinks she should go out to play
instead of staying at home
in summer vacation.
Rarely, she went to her grandma's home,
but she came back
in less than a week.
I went there for sketching,
but those kids haunted me every day
and even tore my drawings.
I was so annoyed.
Look at her.
She still acts like a boy.
Dad,
where's Jianjian?
He wants to talk to you.
I'm eating.
What's up?
Did you make any boyfriend
in secret recently?
Where could I get a boyfriend?
You think too much.
You're still young.
You should put your study first.
Do you know?
I know.
Xiao,
take care of yourself.
When you have time,
remember to call me.
Don't worry about me.
I'm quite good.
Oh, well.
Would you like to say hello
to Mr. Li?
He's making dishes in the kitchen.
Oh, no need.
Send my greetings to him.
If there's nothing else,
just hang up.
Bye-bye.
He hung up so fast.
Well, Jianjian.
What do you usually talk
on the phone
with Ling Xiao?
Nothing important.
We don't have
anything special to talk.
We just make sure each other is still alive.
Well,
my son doesn't often call me.
But when
he calls,
I don't have much
to say to him.
Why can your dad
talk so much
when he calls your brothers?
He has a lot to say
and the call
lasts so long.
Don't you think
he's like a mother
in this family?
He is.
Yeah, yeah.
Is he a fool?
Who sent you message?
My mom.
Where's the photo?
What are you doing? You're taking photo of me!
Delete it. Delete it.
It's so ugly.
It's good. You're so cute.
Be good.
I'll tell my mom I'm with you.
Be good.
Annoying.
It's a latest photo.
Lovely.
Are you in love?
No, I'm not.
Who am I in love with?
Why do you always check your phone?
It's strange.
No, I'm not in love.
Besides,
if I'm in love,
I will definitely tell you.
Yeah.
Are you in love?
Of course no.
Who am I in love with?
Besides,
if I'm in love,
I will definitely tell you.
Yeah.
Do not fall in love.
Vows of eternal love are unreliable.
We should focus on our career first.
It's boring to fall in love.
I'm going to open
a studio
with a senior close to me
after graduation next year.
We've agreed on that.
Who?
Du Juan.
I told you before.
Oh.
Yeah.
Replay it a little bit.
I didn't watch it just now.
Come on.
After graduation,
I opened a woodcarving studio
named Gap of Time
with my senior Du Juan.
We humans seemed to
have been caught in the gap of time,
struggling to survive for a moment.
Though I couldn't be
an artist,
a person with good skills
wouldn't be starved.
We were still young,
so we could spend much time
in pursuing dreams.
Jianjian,
drink some water.
Thanks. Go.
One, two, three.
Yeah.
Look.
It's quite beautiful.
It's really good.
It's quite big.
Yeah.
I'll go for a visit when I have time.
Okay,
but it's a bit far away.
But it's near the sea,
so the air is pretty good.
It's good to be near the sea.
How time flies.
Jianjian has started her career now.
Well,
as Jianjian graduated,
Ling Xiao should be back.
So good.
I have something
to tell you.
Ling Xiao called me
this morning,
saying that he was hired by the hospital
where he had internship.
He officially
decided to stay.
Doesn't he
come back?
Well.
He always said he'd come back.
Why did he suddenly decide
to stay?
He didn't tell me in details.
He just said
his mom can't live without him.
Isn't a nursemaid hired
to look after Chen Ting?
She can go with her
to the rehabilitation hospital.
Why can't she live without him?
It's obvious.
She doesn't want
his son to go back.
I know her well.
I'm needed
by my mom here,
so I won't go back in two years.
By then, Chengzi
will have grown older,
and she can look after my mom.
Oh.
Li Jianjian?
Yes?
I'm still here.
Turn on the video.
I want to see you.
Is it convenient?
I'm sketching
with my classmate now.
It's not so convenient.
Well, I've got to go.
I need to continue to draw.
Keep in touch.
Bye-bye.
The dreams we often chase
are shining
and distant,
like stars,
rainbows,
and dewdrops rolling on
the white roses of the morning.
They're on the opposite side of life.
On the side of life,
adults are forced to
struggle to make living
without other choices.
It's food,
air
and the tears that roll down quietly at night.
Thank you.
Everyone
is busy
in their own life.
Just like all the relationships,
our relationship
gradually disappeared
in the passing time.
We didn't even miss each other,
only keeping the beautiful memories
in childhood
and the blessings
that would never be absent in festivals.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Wish you health and safety.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Love you.
Take the red packet.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Wish you health and safety.
Remember to have zongzi.
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
Take the red packet.
It's the first day of the New Year.
Wish Li Jianjian
the best in all things,
such as health,
happiness
and wealth.
Missing you.
We were like three little planets,
which went on sailing
along their own orbits
after a short meeting.
I realized that
who would come back
would be back,
and you didn't need to wait for
those who wouldn't come back.
In the summer of 2018,
Tang Can couldn't move on in Beijing,
so she came back.
After getting my parents' permission,
I rent an apartment
in a residence community
near my studio.
From then on, I lived with
my two good friends in difficulties who ran away from home.
We started to live supporting each other.
Cheers.
I looked back
in the gap of time.
I had gone pretty far
on the long road
which seemed to have no end.
I was 25.
I was 25 accomplishing nothing.
Episode 11
Don't cry.
People around
thought I was bullying you.
Sorry.
I just feel so bad.
Later,
you need to
take good care of Li Jianjian.
She's irritable,
not as stable as you.
Watch her more.
Okay.
Don't worry.
After you leave,
I'll send you messages every time,
just as I did
as before.
Thank you.
Why did you say thanks?
Aren't we good friends?
Why did you say thanks?
If you can't
get used to meals there,
tell me.
I can send food to you.
You've said it many times.
No, we have to
tell him clearly.
He's getting late.
Hurry up. Don't be late.
Hurry up.
Call me when you arrive.
Don't blame them.
I'll tell them.
Don't worry, Mr. Li.
Take care
of yourselves at home.
OK. I know.
Seat belt. Fasten it up.
Drive slowly. Be careful.
Or you see him off?
You, hurry up.
Bye.
Call me when you arrive.
Call me as soon as you get off the plane.
Jianjian.
Your second brother will leave tomorrow.
Are you really not coming back to see him off?
What are you doing?
Why are you so headstrong?
You are going to break up
with your two brothers?
You had maintained a close relationship with them for so many years.
Can you just break it off?
I beg you.
Come back to see him off.
♫Darling♫
♫Sometimes♫
♫I feel really exhausted♫
Buckled?
Yes.

Call me.
I will send you delicious food.
Okay, I know, dad.

It's cold on the plane.
Ask them to give you blanket.
Sister.
Then hurry up. Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Then you have to drive carefully.
You are irritable.
♫This is what growing up is like♫
I'll be careful.
Don't worry.
Dad.
When Li Jianjian comes back,
inform me.
I'll talk with her.
Okay.
Don't worry.
I guess it she will accept this after a couple of months.
Dad, take care.
Don't worry.
Seat belt.
Okay.

♫Let's go together.♫
Dear students,
a new semester has begun.
Welcome you back to the campus.
Let us join hands…
How is your summer vacation?
Pretty good. How about you?
It's all right.
Here you are.
Study hard to make progress every day.
Mingyue.
Let us, with full enthusiasm
and abundant experience…
I miss you so much.
Why did you spend an entire summer vacation
at your grandma's house?
You are tanned.
Don't mention it.
You know what?
A lot of my cousins
haunted me every day.
I just led them to play around.
That really fits you.
You must have fun.
You know what,
it's fun to play on mountains!
I learned from my cousins
to make traps to catch pheasants and wild rabbits.
Wow!
Moreover,
the bullfrog in the paddy field
is such big.
Don't talk about bullfrogs.
Have you contacted your brothers?
Did you call them?
What do you mean?
You really want to break up with them?
No.
Then why didn't you call them?
You can call them
if you miss them.
You can ask them
for their new phone numbers via QQ.
Is this serious?
You can't live together
as they go to college.
You even spent a whole summer vacation
in your grandma's house.
You are too naïve.
I'm naïve?
Yes.
Actually,
I feel sorry for your brother.
He is not willing.
But he can't help it.
Although she didn't raise him,
she is his real mother.
No matter how unfeeling he said he was,
they are still families linked with blood.
In addition, he has
an underage younger sister.
He can only…
Tang Can.
Leading actress.
Tang Can. Leading actress.
Tang Can.
Leading actress.
Tang Can. Tang Can. Tang Can.
Tang Can, I saw the news.
Are you the leading actress now?
Not yet.
There is another competitor.
Then when will
your play start to be shot?
October
I'm waiting now
for the last news to enter the filming site.
Leading actress
is almost you, really.
I read the news about you.
The little girl next to you
is not as good as you.
Yes, exactly.
Look has nothing to do
with the selection of roles.
The important thing is to fit the role.
Yeah.
Depending on look
is not professional at all.
Hey, why are you everywhere?
They won't use you
due to your look anyway.
Ugly.
I will beat you.
I just watched Li Jianjian going out.
What happened?
Who knows what's wrong with her.
Just in front of the monitor,
she kicked the table.
♫Soulful dreams♫
♫fade to gold♫
♫No telling where they go♫
♫While you slumber♫
♫Slowly flow♫
♫I still care♫
♫It's not fair♫
♫We ain't never♫
♫Come back in time♫
♫Wish days would never hide♫
♫Raindrops down on my face♫
♫Old alleyways♫
♫Just fade away♫
♫like in visionless haze♫
♫One day♫
♫And someday♫
♫We will be brave♫
♫I know♫
♫We will♫
Two more people?
♫If rain starts to fall down♫
♫So wear it♫
♫and carry on♫
♫Those days with love and bound♫
♫Those days with love and bound♫
♫Ready to be strong♫
♫If rain feels to stay on♫
♫Maybe, it just got lost♫
♫There'll be sunbow somehow♫
♫When we you look up high♫
♫It will shine♫
♫sometime♫
♫You're always there walking me long♫
♫Whenever something let me down♫
♫You make me feel where I belong♫
♫Face myself♫
♫If rain starts to pour down♫
♫You've taught me to fly on♫
Little girl, wake up.
♫There has always been that rainbow♫
Little girl.
I'm off work.
You've been sitting back and forth for three times.
♫Flying with the love you gave me,♫
Your ticket is worthy.
Get off now.
♫I see myself with big wings♫
Oh.
Thank you, sir.
Li Jianjian.
What's wrong, Wang Doudou?
My mother said your second brother
went to study abroad?
His rich dad
recognized him?
Yeah.
And your brother
also went back to his mother?
I didn't expect it.
My mother used to say
it's risky to raise children
for other people.
You see now?
This time your family
gains nothing.
Watch out your mouth.
Don't speak if you don't know what to say.
Why are you so fierce?
I just think
your two brothers have no conscience
and I feel sorry for you.
Why don't my two brothers
have a conscience?
They just went to study in colleges outside.
They'll be back after graduation.
You know nothing about my family.
I just think
they two have no conscience.
Zhu Bajie has gone to the college in the Northeast.
If I beat you now,
no one will come to protect you.
Your two brothers
leave you since ever.
No one is protecting you either.
Wang Doudou, do you want to be beaten?
Nope.
Don't be angry.
Leave me alone.
What are you mad at?
I just asked you some tiny questions.
What are you mad at?
How many points
did you score this time?
Shut up.
Tell me.
Mom.
Mrs. Qian.
Hey, Doudou.
Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Wang.
Why are you back together?
We just came across each other.
Jianjian.
I heard
your brothers
both returned to their families?
Do you still connect them on the phone?
Yes.
They are still conscientious.
Otherwise, it's really meaningless to raise them.
They just separated now.
So they are still close.
Later,
when they work after graduation,
if they can go back to take care of them,
they will be really conscientious.
Jianjian,
you grew up with them together.
Do you miss them?
Ah, well,
my dad is urging me to have dinner home.
I have to go.
Goodbye, granny. Goodbye, Mrs. Wang.
Oh, okay, goodbye.
Well, I have to go too.
I have to go home to cook.
Okay.
Bye, Mrs. Qian.
Oh, bye.
Let me make you some good food.
I want to eat meat.
Can you handle it?
Good then.
You know,
your mom is inconvenient to move now.
She must be emotionally unstable.
You always have to give in to her.
Jian-Jianjian, you are back.
Jianjian is back.
Hold on.
Your brother is on phone.
Hold on.
She is changing shoes.
You, you, you hold on. Don't hang up.
Hey, Jianjian.
Jianjian.
She rushes to the toilet.
You know
her temper too.
Ah?
OK, let's talk later. Mind your business.
Bye.
Oh, I'm starving.
What are we going to eat today?
Li Jianjian.
Sit down.
Why are you so fierce?
What do you want?
Ah?
Are you planning to
break up with your two brothers since ever?
You didn't answer their calls.
You grew up
together since childhood.
You have to cherish
your friendship.
Do you know?
You even said "cherish."
Oh, is it that serious?
You,
You stubborn…
Put it down!
I'm talking to you seriously.
Be serious.
Okay.
Go ahead, boss.
Tell me.
What exactly do you want?
I want nothing.
I just want
neighbors not to
always laugh at you
for raise them in vain when they meet me.
I just want
my classmates and friends
not to always mention me that
I used to have brothers
when they see me.
I just want to re-adapt to
the life of the only-child family.
I just want,
I want,
I want my world to be silent.
Don't, don't hurry.
Speak slowly.
How about you peel while talking?
Dad.
I am not angry with
them as they left to study
abroad or in Singapore.
I just,
I understand through this matter that
they actually
have nothing to do
with our family.
If one day one of us
becomes unconscious and waits for the operation,
they will not even be qualified
to sign operation the consent form.
You…
You called them brothers
for so many years.
That doesn't count?
Although they are brothers,
they are not my real brothers.
Till now,
I finally understand
our previous thought
was too naïve.
Taking those who have a good relationship with us as families
is just like children's game
of Playing House.
Your brothers
must be heartbroken
if they hear your words.
You know best in your hearts
whether they are good to you or not.
Your second brother
always left everything delicious to you,
protected you everywhere
and took the blame for you
without any complaints.
And your first brother
always tried his best to care about you.
I won't list other examples.
During your growth,
he always sent you
to continuation class every time on weekends
without missing a time.
How many real brothers
can be as good
as them?
Jianjian,
tell me honestly.
Do you think it's a good thing
for your second brother to study abroad?
It's a good thing.
It's a good thing.
He just wants to save money
and save his tuition for our family.
Besides, he can go abroad to learn
what he wants to learn.
Of course it is a good thing.
Then does your first brother want to
go to Singapore?
That's because his real mother is there.
What can he do
to his real mother?
What else choice does he have?
Jianjian,
just like me and your mother
who formed a family,
you will also
form your own family
and leave me in the future.
But this does not mean
we are not a family anymore.
It doesn't mean
we don't care about each other any more.
The hearts of real families
are always together
wherever they are.
But I don't want them to leave.
I don't want them to leave.
Who wants to let them leave?
When young,
we never thought of separation
but always felt that time was very slow,
very slow.
We were always worried
when we could grow up.
But time
is lost
on the white paper in the class when we were absent-minded
in a moment of joy,
or in tears.
At any time,
there is an invisible hand
that is leading us.
It is silent,
but it never stops.
Happy New Year.
Time passes year after year
in the blink of an eye,
but it's so similar,
dull
without any fluctuation.
But it just quietly changes.
Good things come in pairs.
Wish you luck and a fortune in four seasons.
Give me the red envelope.
Yes.
Wish you progress in study.
Thanks, Mr. Ling.
May you smoothness.
May you blooming business
every day.
I love to hear this.
Here you are.
Dad, give me the red envelope.
Come and have a piece of meat.
I'm rich.
Hey, Mr. Li.
Happy New Year.
Yes. We are watching the Spring Festival Gala.
We are watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Then
we work hard
to stop time changing us.
Brother, second brother, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Ziqiu.
Are you in the park?
Happy New Year.
What did you say?
Ah, yes.
I'm in the park.
There is no taste of New Year at all.
Have you eaten New Year's Eve dinner?
We are eating.
Dad is calling others for New Year greeting.
Mr. Ling is watching that sketch
of the Spring Festival Gala.
I'll call him for you.
Mr. Ling.
Yes?
I'm videoing with brother.
Come here.
Okay.
Coming, coming.
Hey, Ziqiu.
Ling Xiao.
Happy New Year.
Dad, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Hey, Ziqiu?
His internet is not good.
Mr. Ling, Happy New Year.
Ah the signal is not so good.
It's always stuck.
Happy,
Happy New Year.
It's okay.
It's good to see you.
Why are you both losing weight?
Eat more meat.
Heping.
Your phone rings.
Oh, coming.
Okay.
Then you guys talk.
I'm going to make calls.
How nice.
Once it comes to six o'clock,
their phones
keep ringing.
What did you eat for
your New Year's Eve dinner?
I ordered dishes from the restaurant.
But
they are not as delicious as those cooked by Mr. Li.
Of course.
Oh, I've been stuck here.
Damn signal.
What did you eat tonight?
Can you find a place
with better signal?
We talked about this topic just now.
You are always late.
Didn't you go to Zhao Huaguang's house to celebrate the New Year?
Why must I go to Zhao Huaguang's house?
I don't have anything to talk with him
or his wife.
We fight as soon as we meet.
By the way,
we overseas students
will have a celebration tonight.
We'll make dumplings
together.
We don't make dumplings
to celebrate the New Year at home.
He makes dumplings abroad.
Your signal is really so weak!
What are you doing these two days?
I'll go to grandma's home with dad tomorrow.
On the second day, we'll go to my maternal grandma's home.
On the third day, we'll visit relatives.
On the fourth day, relatives will visit us at home.
I told dad
we can have a meal
in a restaurant.
He said he's a chef
and it's not good to dine outside.
He insisted cooking.
As you know,
we have so many
kid relatives.
They always want me to play with them.
You're also a kid.
Don't say such words.
Forget it.
My signal is too weak.
I'll call dad
when I go back tonight.
I'm going off line.
Bye.
Okay.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
We tried hard to
express our care.
We tried hard
to shorten the distance.
Why do you keep smiling at me?
I'm happy to
see you.
Annoying.
Well, by the way,
the pineapple tart you sent back
is so delicious.
Thank you so much.
I've given Qi Mingyue
her portion as you asked.
She said thank you.
If you really want to thank me,
then
act like a spoiled child.
I'm not a spoiled child.
Brother, what are you doing?
Well, I'm having a video call.
Go out and play.
No.
I don't want to eat alone.
Go.
It doesn't matter.
Just go. Go.
Li Jianjian?
What are you talking to my brother for?
He's my brother,
not yours.
It's rude of you to say that. Apologize.
Sorry.
Let's go.
Let's go to eat.
Go.
Don't be mad.
She's just a kid.
I'm going to eat.
When Ziqiu comes back to his dorm,
I'll contact you again.
Okay.
I haven't finished dinner either.
I'm going too.
I'm going to hang up.
Go.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Let's eat.
We all tried hard,
tried hard
to fight against time
and distance.
Jianjian,
come over here.
Your cousin wants to talk to you.
Coming.
In 2012,
when I was admitted to the local university
for sculpture study as an exception,
my brother suspended schooling
in order to look after his mother.
Ziqiu also became very busy.
What my dad had said
were being verified one by one.
He said
adults should be busy.
Dad,
I've been at school.
Don't worry.
I'm not going abroad.
Okay, okay.
I'm not going back
for lunch today.
Okay, bye-bye.
Congratulations to our college student
on going to school today.
No early love.
I'm already 18.
It should not be early love.
You made fewer calls recently.
Is your mom…
Thanks. I got it.
After going to college,
I realized that
one would lead an easier life in college
was just a lie.
I became very busy.
Besides the classes,
I had a lot of homework to do.
How are you doing recently?
Is everything going well at school?
And time seemed to
suddenly awake,
as if it were in a hurry to somewhere.
It led us ahead
and before we reacted,
more than two years had passed.
In this year when
I and my brother were junior,
Ziqiu graduated.
But,
he hadn't come back.
Well…
Why do you want to
make dessert suddenly?
It's mainly because
I think it's interesting to
make dessert.
And,
because of my major,
I have to go to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou
to get a good job.
But I only want to
develop in our hometown
after graduation.
I can get good development by learning dessert.
Dad,
sorry.
I promised to go back
right after graduation, but…
It doesn't matter.
Just focus on your learning.
Well, dad,
why doesn't Li Jianjian speak?
Is she mad?
Hello.
Why am I mad?
It's good for you to learn a new skill.
As you like it,
just learn it.
I need to enjoy the noodles.
I have to go to school later.
Oh. Okay.
It's good that you're not mad.
You think too much.
Jianjian is busy
helping her senior
with her
graduation design exhibition.
She's even too busy to have meals.
Okay.
Dad, take care.
Ask Li Jianjian to have meals on time.
Okay.
You should also have meals on time.
I'm gonna hang up.
Bye-bye.
Jianjian.
Dad,
I have to go.
They had urged me just now.
I'm going, bye.
Be careful on the way.
I got it.
Someday,
I suddenly found
separation
was normal in life.
Just like a dandelion seed,
where it flew to,
where it would grow.
It'd have new land,
new friends
and new dreams.
I made it.
It's too sweet.
It looks appetizing.
When you come back…
Amazing.
Great.
Gradually,
because of separation,
we became distant
and didn't talk a lot
no matter how much we cared about each other.
It's your son.
He wants you. You talk to him.
You talk to him. Don't you miss him?
Son.
Dad,
are you with Li Jianjian?
Yes.
We're having dinner.
Mr. Ling misses you.
How's your mom?
She can stand up
without auxiliary tools recently.
She has made great progress
and she's in good mental state.
Oh.
Well.
Do you send and pick up
your sister every day?
She can help
with the housework now.
That's great.
In that case, you'll lead an easier life.
How are you doing lately?
I'm doing well.
But Mr. Li is annoyed with
Jianjian.
He thinks she should go out to play
instead of staying at home
in summer vacation.
Rarely, she went to her grandma's home,
but she came back
in less than a week.
I went there for sketching,
but those kids haunted me every day
and even tore my drawings.
I was so annoyed.
Look at her.
She still acts like a boy.
Dad,
where's Jianjian?
He wants to talk to you.
I'm eating.
What's up?
Did you make any boyfriend
in secret recently?
Where could I get a boyfriend?
You think too much.
You're still young.
You should put your study first.
Do you know?
I know.
Xiao,
take care of yourself.
When you have time,
remember to call me.
Don't worry about me.
I'm quite good.
Oh, well.
Would you like to say hello
to Mr. Li?
He's making dishes in the kitchen.
Oh, no need.
Send my greetings to him.
If there's nothing else,
just hang up.
Bye-bye.
He hung up so fast.
Well, Jianjian.
What do you usually talk
on the phone
with Ling Xiao?
Nothing important.
We don't have
anything special to talk.
We just make sure each other is still alive.
Well,
my son doesn't often call me.
But when
he calls,
I don't have much
to say to him.
Why can your dad
talk so much
when he calls your brothers?
He has a lot to say
and the call
lasts so long.
Don't you think
he's like a mother
in this family?
He is.
Yeah, yeah.
Is he a fool?
Who sent you message?
My mom.
Where's the photo?
What are you doing? You're taking photo of me!
Delete it. Delete it.
It's so ugly.
It's good. You're so cute.
Be good.
I'll tell my mom I'm with you.
Be good.
Annoying.
It's a latest photo.
Lovely.
Are you in love?
No, I'm not.
Who am I in love with?
Why do you always check your phone?
It's strange.
No, I'm not in love.
Besides,
if I'm in love,
I will definitely tell you.
Yeah.
Are you in love?
Of course no.
Who am I in love with?
Besides,
if I'm in love,
I will definitely tell you.
Yeah.
Do not fall in love.
Vows of eternal love are unreliable.
We should focus on our career first.
It's boring to fall in love.
I'm going to open
a studio
with a senior close to me
after graduation next year.
We've agreed on that.
Who?
Du Juan.
I told you before.
Oh.
Yeah.
Replay it a little bit.
I didn't watch it just now.
Come on.
After graduation,
I opened a woodcarving studio
named Gap of Time
with my senior Du Juan.
We humans seemed to
have been caught in the gap of time,
struggling to survive for a moment.
Though I couldn't be
an artist,
a person with good skills
wouldn't be starved.
We were still young,
so we could spend much time
in pursuing dreams.
Jianjian,
drink some water.
Thanks. Go.
One, two, three.
Yeah.
Look.
It's quite beautiful.
It's really good.
It's quite big.
Yeah.
I'll go for a visit when I have time.
Okay,
but it's a bit far away.
But it's near the sea,
so the air is pretty good.
It's good to be near the sea.
How time flies.
Jianjian has started her career now.
Well,
as Jianjian graduated,
Ling Xiao should be back.
So good.
I have something
to tell you.
Ling Xiao called me
this morning,
saying that he was hired by the hospital
where he had internship.
He officially
decided to stay.
Doesn't he
come back?
Well.
He always said he'd come back.
Why did he suddenly decide
to stay?
He didn't tell me in details.
He just said
his mom can't live without him.
Isn't a nursemaid hired
to look after Chen Ting?
She can go with her
to the rehabilitation hospital.
Why can't she live without him?
It's obvious.
She doesn't want
his son to go back.
I know her well.
I'm needed
by my mom here,
so I won't go back in two years.
By then, Chengzi
will have grown older,
and she can look after my mom.
Oh.
Li Jianjian?
Yes?
I'm still here.
Turn on the video.
I want to see you.
Is it convenient?
I'm sketching
with my classmate now.
It's not so convenient.
Well, I've got to go.
I need to continue to draw.
Keep in touch.
Bye-bye.
The dreams we often chase
are shining
and distant,
like stars,
rainbows,
and dewdrops rolling on
the white roses of the morning.
They're on the opposite side of life.
On the side of life,
adults are forced to
struggle to make living
without other choices.
It's food,
air
and the tears that roll down quietly at night.
Thank you.
Everyone
is busy
in their own life.
Just like all the relationships,
our relationship
gradually disappeared
in the passing time.
We didn't even miss each other,
only keeping the beautiful memories
in childhood
and the blessings
that would never be absent in festivals.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Wish you health and safety.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Love you.
Take the red packet.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Wish you health and safety.
Remember to have zongzi.
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
Take the red packet.
It's the first day of the New Year.
Wish Li Jianjian
the best in all things,
such as health,
happiness
and wealth.
Missing you.
We were like three little planets,
which went on sailing
along their own orbits
after a short meeting.
I realized that
who would come back
would be back,
and you didn't need to wait for
those who wouldn't come back.
In the summer of 2018,
Tang Can couldn't move on in Beijing,
so she came back.
After getting my parents' permission,
I rent an apartment
in a residence community
near my studio.
From then on, I lived with
my two good friends in difficulties who ran away from home.
We started to live supporting each other.
Cheers.
I looked back
in the gap of time.
I had gone pretty far
on the long road
which seemed to have no end.
I was 25.
I was 25 accomplishing nothing.
