Wei Ming!
You shouldn't be touching these offerings!
Get up.
Let's go.
Does it go like this?
Wei Ming, what did you just say?
Mummy, what are these for?
Prayer offerings for the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Just leave it alone.
Bye, Mummy.
Remember to eat your lunch.
Boss, I got the offerings you asked for.
Good.
Come here and pray.
I'm going to hand in my homework to Ms Lin.
OK?
Mummy.
Can you game with me?
No, I'm really tired today.
Just one game.
Like how we used to
Please?
All right. Just one game.
Do you remember
how Dad used to game with us too?
I know you miss your dad.
But, lately, he's been
really busy.
When do you think Dad will be home?
I think he'll only be home next week.
Really?
Well, I think he'll be back tomorrow.
Didn't I tell you not to open that cabinet?
I'm going to donate the stuff in there.
Go get ready for school.
Madam Tan?
En.
En?
Are you OK?
As we were saying
I would like to talk about Wei Ming.
How is he doing?
He's fine. He's doing very well.
I heard you started a new medication
from your doctor.
She's been suffering recently from insomnia.
I get headaches
but I'm fine.
Actually, I noticed
Wei Ming has been talking to himself.
-Like, I -Like an imaginary friend.
Children usually grow out of it.
I wouldn't worry too much.
Sorry, by the way, for the next session
is it possible that we do it over the weekend?
Let me check.
Does 4th of September work for you?
-Yeah. -OK.
Shall we put it in as 2.00pm?
OK, that's good.
Hey, do you hear something?
It's probably just the air-conditioning.
S-Sorry. I can't do this.
I'm sorry. I think we'll do this
the next session.
En.
I hope you get some rest.
Sorry. Maybe the next time.
The seventh lunar month is also known as
the Hungry Ghost Festival.
You might have seen people
starting to burn offerings.
Both the Buddhists and Taoists believe that
the Gates of Hell will open
on the 15th day of the seventh month
Mummy, may I sleep with you tonight?
Wei Ming, did you leave the TV on again?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?
You might frighten Wei Ming!
What are you talking about?
I'm still at work. I'm really busy.
Busy?
Busy? When are you not busy?
What's gotten into you now?
-Forget it. -You say you're fine
but you're looking worse by the day.
I am fine.
How many times do I have to say this?
I'm fine!
Go to bed.
I'll call you tomorrow.
And we'll discuss
how we want to celebrate Wei Ming's birthday.
Sorry.
I must've frightened you.
I don't like it when you and Dad fight.
OK, we won't fight.
Wei Ming's birthday
En.
Where's the sales report for July?
Sorry, I'm still working on it.
I haven't been feeling well lately.
I can't extend the deadline any further.
I know you're having problems at home
but this is the last time I'm covering for you.
Mum.
Mum.
Can we go to the beach on my birthday?
It's late.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Come to bed.
Your dad's calling.
-Hi, Daddy! -Hi.
You're still at home?
You're going to be late.
By the way, shall I make a reservation
at a restaurant for Wei Ming's birthday?
I have the day all planned.
Where's Wei Ming?
Hi, Daddy!
Hi!
Don't forget, your birthday is two days away.
Love you guys.
-Bye, Wei Ming. -Bye.
Wait up!
Gotcha.
Hello?
Yes?
Mr Tan!
Look, Wei Ming's up there!
-Mr Tan, he's up there. -Look, Mr Tan!
OK, come
Hi. Good afternoon, Mr Chan.
Good afternoon.
Your son was in an incident in school
that was very alarming.
Wei Ming, how are you feeling now?
OK.
I just want to go home.
Mr Chan, do you mind
telling me what happened?
Our students and teachers
reported seeing him sitting at the ledge
on the top floor in Block C.
Wei Ming, wait for me outside.
Go on.
It was clear to those who witnessed it.
Wei Ming was talking on the ledge.
The teacher heard whistling at first
and saw him smiling.
And reaching out his hand
as if to hold someone else.
I'll make sure this won't happen again.
Mummy.
It must be hard losing one of them.
We all miss having the twins around.
From now on
you're not going anywhere without me!
Got it?
Do you know you could've gotten hurt?
I'm sorry, Mummy.
Hold tight.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
All right. Mummy will cut the cake.
-Let's go play. -Sure!
Let's go.
Mummy, we're going swimming.
OK. Stay close to the shore!
We were supposed to watch him.
But I got distracted.
Kai won't blame me, I know.
But it's my fault.
It's my fault
There was nothing
you could have anticipated or stopped.
Maybe you should return together
as a family?
Yeah.
This Saturday, it's Wei Ming's birthday.
And how do you guys plan on celebrating it?
I planned an excursion.
I'd like to share your progress
in our next session with Kai.
Take care of yourself, En.
You're a wonderful mother.
Remember that.
Wei Ming.
Do you want to sleep with Mummy?
Wei Liang
Mummy, what are you doing?
It's your birthday today.
Let's go to the beach to celebrate.
Happy birthday.
En?
Wei Ming?
En?
This is for you.
I'm not hungry.
Save it for your dad.
Do we save Wei Liang a share too?
Of course.
Today is his birthday too.
Why don't we start a campfire, OK?
Go over there and get me some twigs.
En, where did you take Wei Ming?
En, say something!
He insisted on coming to the beach.
Don't worry.
What were you thinking?
We're at the beach.
Will you come?
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you

Burn the rest of his toys.
Hurry, before it's too late.
Stay here.
Wei Liang.
I'm here now.
Don't be afraid.
Mummy's here with you.
I've missed you so much.
You shouldn't have to sleep alone.
I'm so sorry
I've failed you.
I'll be fine.
You should go back to them.
Wei Liang
