[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 8] [Li Li, don’t worry about Ze Shu’s matter,] [but don’t let Auntie Cai or Zi You’s mum know about this.] What’s wrong? Are you exhausted? Yes, it’s been a long day.
You’re having a fever. Come on. Never mind. I’ll just rest for a while. Come on up. Go into the room. I’ll look after you. Come on. I feel a little chilly. That’s all. Do drink some water later, cover yourself with the blankets and sleep tight. You’ll be okay tomorrow morning.
Actually, I feel better now. What you’re doing is extremely effective. Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, you’ll live a long life. At least I won’t allow you to pass away before I do. Where did you go today? Your legs are swollen. Although you’re in good health now, you’re not like the others.
You almost died twice. You must be more mindful of your health. My old man, my old companion. If you really fall sick one day, your daughter and ex-wife will not care about you. It’ll be me, the foolish one, who will take care of you wholeheartedly. I’m a stubborn person.
I didn’t want anything from you. I just want to be by your side. I went to her place today. She agreed? Of course she would agree. But didn’t I go out after we talked about this? Once I’m outside, Huan Huan gave me a call.
She said that she wants to join Ze Shu too. I thought Huan Huan is not going to study for Han Lin? No matter if she wants to enter Han Lin or not, she must study harder. That’s good too. They can accompany each other. Seriously. There’s no such good thing. There’s only one place.
There’s only one place? Both the children want to enter Ze Shu. Why not we invite them over to have a family meeting? Tell them openly that there’s only one place available. It’s up to them to decide who will take that place. If you really do so,
In the end, no matter who is the one that gets in, the other one will sure blame you. You should resolve matters like this quietly. But they’re both my loved ones. They should decide this on their own. Gosh, what a dilemma! Is your leg still feeling numb? No. I can move freely now.
That’s fortunate. When you were having a stroke, the doctor said that for cases like you, majority will experience aftereffects after recovery. The most minor aftereffects are limping, walking on crutches or facial paralysis. I told Lan Lan, as long as you’re alive, even if half of your body is paralysed,
I’m not going to complain too. I’ll take care of you. But Lan Lan said it couldn’t be. Uncle Nan is a well educated intellectual. He has been living a dignified life. If he has to live in that state, he’ll be unhappy. So, she left Zi You in her in-laws’ care
And took care of you with me. She wants you to recover and be like a normal person. She didn’t want you to experience any aftereffects. I like Lan Lan too. It’s true. She’s kind, just like you. Lan Lan will never fight for anything with Li Li. We’re not being inconsiderate.
But my heart aches for Zi You. He’s been studying so hard. His mum is strict to him. I’ve inquired about this. You just need to spend some money to enter the Contest Prep Class. You just need to wait for a while. But it’s a different case for the Elite Class.
You can only enter with good grades. There won’t be another chance like this anymore. It has been decided. Zi You will take this place. But you mustn’t let Li Li know about this. I thank you on behalf of Zi You. Really? That’s awesome. Mum, pass my thanks to Uncle Nan. Okay, goodbye.
Son, you can enter the Elite Class now. You’re the best, son! Why? Why? Your Grandpa has settled it for you. It’s a good news. Of course it’s a good news. It’s the ultimate good news. It isn’t easy to handle that matter. Although I’m not her biological daughter, in such critical moment,
I’m better than his biological daughter. Our son is listening, don’t say such things. Ignore it. Son, the moral value of the story is, don’t ever look down on others. Little rascal. Son. Stop writing. Come over and have some fruits. What a miracle. Put it down. It’s hard for you to have a break.
Alright, that’s enough for the day. Hurry up. I’ll bring you out later. Let’s go. Mum, has Grandpa thought of a way? Not yet. But don’t worry, if there’s any news, he will inform us right away. Should I give him a call later? Never mind. It’s hard for him to get a good sleep.
If you rush him, he’ll be stressed out. If he’s stressed out, he can’t sleep well. Well, all these years, when it’s about Huan Huan, my dad will be the most enthusiastic one. You’re right. Your matter is always your dad’s top priority. You even asked him for a favour. You’re both his loved ones.
That’s right. Huan Huan, let’s wait a little longer. Okay. We’ll wait a little longer. Mr. Zhong, enough is enough. I’ve said everything. I’ve given you all the respect. This time, the Yan family has asked a favour from someone major. If you offend her, not only you, even I may lose my job. You…
Yan Zi You must join the Elite Class. Well, about the Contest Prep Class, can you add one more student to the class? Mr. Zhong, Ze Shu Tuition Centre isn’t somewhere negligent like the other training institutions. You can’t just simply add someone in. How about this?
Expand your Elite Class to twelve students, just like the other classes. I’ll pay you double. Let Yan Zi You join, alright? This isn’t about the money. I would like to earn more money too. But don’t you understand what’s good about the Elite Class? I only have this much time and energy.
It’s already hard for me to teach one extra student, not to mention four extra students. But the Contest Prep Class has twelve students already. How can the teacher teach with an extra student? Alright, I can accept Yan Zi You too. But I have a requirement. Say it. Yan Zi You’s parents
Must apologise to me in front of all teachers and students. My reputation is Ze Shu’s reputation too. Am I right? It’s not surprising at all. He’s a tough one too. Of course he wants to get back at me. I should go. I’m old and thick-skinned. I should go.
It isn’t proper for an old lady like you to apologise to a young man like that. Besides, I don’t think he will be pleased if you’re the one who apologise to him. I’m worried about your temper. In such situation, I’m not a fool too. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I’ll apologise sincerely and humbly.
He won’t be able to find fault with me. It’s all for my son. I don’t mind about it. [For the sake of my son, I’m willing to do anything.] Previously, due to my rudeness and recklessness, I said something that tarnishes Mr. Zhong’s reputation. Therefore,
I would like to express my sincere apology to Mr. Zhong. I’m truly sorry. I was rude to you and mishandled the matter. I’ve wronged Mr. Zhong. It’s all my fault. I hope that Mr. Zhong can understand my heart for my child as a mother.
As a mother, I can do anything for my child. But I can’t bear to hear others criticise my child. As long as it about their child, no parents can be rational. If it’s not for my child, I wouldn’t want to do this too. As if my life is at stake.
Before becoming a parent, I have my own pride too. All in all, it’s all my mistake. My child knows nothing. He’s just forced by me to study hard all day and obtained this result. If his effort is wasted due to me, I’ll be guilty. You must study even harder from now on.
Your good academics is my greatest reward. Okay. Hello, Aunt. You’ve just finished class? Yes. The teacher overran the class. After all, it’s the Elite Class. The requirements are higher than the normal classes. He got into the Elite Class? -How did he get in? -Through normal procedures. No teacher will reject a good student.
A teacher can teach better if his students are good. Congratulations, Zi You. Keep it up. Thank you, Aunt. It’s good that he got in through normal procedures. In terms of academic, students have to study hard and teachers need to teach dedicatedly. It can’t be forced. However, Zi You is smart and hardworking.
Now that you’re in the Elite Class, you’ll improve more greatly. -We’ll leave first. -Alright. -Goodbye, Aunt. -Goodbye. I’m here again. I want to inquire about the place. [Bestore Co] [Premium snacks] Hello, is there anything that you want to buy? We’re selling healthy snacks. Feel free to have a try.
Do you want to eat anything? The jujube seems fine. Hello, beautiful lady. Hello, beautiful lady in jeans. Look at this dried mango. It smells so good and it’s soft. Have one, it’s delicious. You’re not interested? Look, when I’m teaching at Ze Shu, I teach with dedication too, right?
I just want to earn some money. I’m doing that for our future too. Okay, I won’t argue with you. I’ll teach Yan Zi You properly. He’s a smart kid. He’ll get good results. Why did you say such things again? Do you mean that you won’t teach a mediocre student properly then?
Okay, fine. I’m sorry. My improvement on my ideological consciousness isn’t quick enough. I’ll try my best to treat all students equally. I’ll keep up with you. Is that right, Angel Teacher? Don’t be upset. Don’t be upset. -Zi You got into the Elite Class. -Is that true?
I still haven’t given up and went to Ze Shu today. I met Tian Yu Lan and Zi You. She told me that Zi You got into the Elite Class through normal procedures. How is that possible? Her mum made such a big fuss there previously. But Ze Shu didn’t compromise to it.
Why do they accept him in a twinkling? It’s impossible that he got in through normal procedures. That’s right. How did he get in? The Elite Class is supposed to be harder -to get in than Context Prep Class. -Yes. I know Tian Yu Lan well. She won’t give up unless she achieves her goal.
She must have used some unconventional way. Listen, you better ask Yan Peng about this later. I’ll call him now. -This matter is still… -Are you a fool? If you call him now, Tian Yu Lan is by his side for sure. When the both of you are on your own,
Make a few discreet inquiries with him. You must have strategies. You’re really thoughtful. If we’re in a palace drama, you’ll sure survive till the last episode. All thanks to Tian Yu Lan. Then, you must help me to survive till the last episode too. Well, -it depends on my mood. -How is your mood?
It depends on your performance. What time is it? Why aren’t you asleep yet? [It’s good that he got in through normal procedures.] [In terms of academic,] [students have to study hard] [and teachers need to teach dedicatedly.] [It can’t be forced.] What are you doing? I remember that we have a pen recorder.
It’s tiny. Pen recorder? Nan Li is right. The difference is big whether if the teacher teaches with dedication. If he teaches without dedication and even take revenge on our son, it’ll be worse. What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve found it. We’ll see who is the quickest to fill it up.
Chao Chao is the quickest now. Chao Chao is currently the first one. Huan Huan, we must work harder. Okay, a moment please. -Hurry up, come on. -Grandpa! Kids, look who’s here. Grandpa! Look what Grandpa has brought you. -Come over now. -Egg tarts. What? -Egg tarts. -The egg tarts are still warm.
-It smells so good. -Wash your hands first. -Clean your hands first. -Yes. Here, bring it over. Be hygienic. I’ll help you with it. There’s no hurry. Wipe your hands clean first. -Wipe your hands clean. -Wipe your hands clean before you eat. Take your time. Is your hands clean now? Show me your hands.
Is your hands clean now? -It’s clean now. Take one. -Done. One is enough. -I’m leaving. -Play after you’ve finished eating. Okay. Don’t you want one too? I’m on a diet. Li Li. About Ze Shu Tuition Centre, I really have no idea about it. I didn’t know that it’s hard to get a place
In a tuition centre like that. I’m really like what you youngsters say, outdated. It’s okay, dad. You don’t need to force yourself on this matter too. I won’t blame you if it fails. This matter is difficult to handle anyway. Xia Jun Shan and I have been thinking of the ways too.
But we didn’t progress much. However, it’s alright too. We’ll eventually get in. Yes. Zi You gets to join the Elite Class. The place of the Elite Class is harder to get than the Contest Prep Class. Zi You got in? Who told you? Tian Yu Lan. She… This means that
There must be some other ways to get into Ze Shu. We just haven’t found it yet. Yes. It might be true. I’m going to win. Come on. Li Li. I need to talk to you about something. What is it? Didn’t I buy a cemetery plot in Zhangzhou? Yesterday, the staff called me.
He asked if I would like to sell it. It’s like this. The price of the cemetery plot has increased. Its price has increased massively. I’m thinking of selling it to get some cash. It’s okay if I don’t sell it too. If I keep it, its value may climb too.
But my money is yours too. If you need money now, I’ll turn it into cash right away and give it to you. You silly old man. Why would I want your money? Well, it’s a hit on the jackpot. Well, that lad gave me a call.
When I answered his call, he’s surprised that I’m still alive. How could he say such a thing? How are you doing recently? Have you went for a checkup regarding your tumour? Grandpa. I’ve dropped my egg tart. You dropped it? Then leave it. Don’t eat it anymore. Don’t eat it anymore, okay?
Here, wipe your hands. I still want to eat. Don’t eat it anymore. Go and play, alright? Alright? -You still want one? -Give him one then. Give him another one then. Go. Where were we? I’ve done the checkup. All indicators are normal. Even the doctor is surprised. He said,
Is the Yama forgetting about you? [Doctor. How is my dad now?] [Operating] Don’t worry. We’ll try our best to save him. All that matters now is whether he can survive the night after surgery. ♫ Time goes by slowly ♫ ♫ But it never stops ♫
♫ It knows it can’t take away anything ♫ ♫ But it never insists ♫ ♫ Some memories are fat while some are thin ♫ ♫ But it can eat anything ♫ ♫ It knows what’ll always be lacking ♫ Thank you, Auntie Cai. ♫ But it never let go ♫ [You’re welcome.]

Being alive is better than anything else. Yes, being alive. About the cemetery plot, you can keep it for its value to climb, or sell it for some cash. It’s up to you. Besides, you don’t have to feel uncomfortable about it. Many youngsters buy cemetery plot as an investment too. I’m not feeling uncomfortable.
I’m a proletarian and atheist. I don’t care about God or ghost. Sometimes, I even think that it’s refreshing to throw one’s ashes to the sea after one dies. Now, I’m only thinking about living for one more day. If I can live for one more day, I can accompany you and the children.
The children can see their Grandpa too. Goodbye, Grandpa. Goodbye. Dad. You should go back home. Let me know when you’ve reached home. You should head back too. Alright. Li Li. I want to tell you that you’re my biological daughter. Huan Huan and Chao Chao will always be my darlings.
No one can compare to them. I know. Okay, I’ll go back now. Take care, dad. Alright, students. That’s all for today’s class. But, we still have some time. I’ll show you an extensive question. This question is quite tricky. Look carefully. Each area has 20 points. Take any four points as the top points.
How many squares can you get? Okay, think about it. Does anyone know the answer? Can anyone give me the correct answer now? Anyone? Mi Tao, have a try. You never disappoint me. Good job. I’ll give you a heart sticker as a reward. Thank you, sir. Return to your seat.
Do you understand the principle? I’ll explain it to you. Time for meal. Da Bao, Xiao Bao, wash your hands and eat. Coming. Did you have a test today? Yes, we had the entrance test for the Elite Class today. Is your results good? How did you know?
Do you know about the four joys in life? No. Let me explain it to you. The four joys in life are a good rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign place, the wedding night, and when Zi You does well in his examinations.
Only when you pass the examination with flying colours, your mum will be in a good mood. If you did well, it’s a lovely family. If you didn’t, it’ll be chaos. Ignore your dad. The fourth joy is passing the examination. What if they ask this question during the junior high school entrance interview?
When our Zi You pass the examination, I’ll be in cloud nine. Well, the Elite Class is really effective. Zi You, keep it up. I’m not asking for much, you just need to be in the top two of your class and top five of your grade. That’s all? You’re really not asking for much.
Mi Tao got full marks again? Yes. This girl is really exceptional. Who would expect a black horse from the fifth graders? I’ve been monitoring Zi You’s studies, I know this well. It isn’t hard for kids to get full marks once or twice. But it isn’t easy for her to keep getting full marks.
It’s useless for you to compare that. The junior high school doesn’t only choose from their class. What would you know? Every one knows the first person who got on the moon. How about the second person who got on the moon? I don’t even know who’s the first one. Illiterate.
That day, I talked to Mi Tao’s mum. She said that she need not to worry about Mi Tao’s studies. She always finishes her homework before dinner. She’s really obedient. Zi You is easy to take care of too. He’s a good boy too. Compared to Mi Tao, he’s still lacking.
Son, you must learn from Mi Tao. You have no problem. Mum, Mi Tao is born smart. Mr. Zhong said that she’s smarter than all of us. -Nonsense. -Nonsense. Move aside. Listen. I’m a female fighter pilot. Stay away from me. I’m flying a warplane. You can never catch up with me.
I can’t do this anymore. I’m so tired. Let’s have a one-minute break, okay? Good boy. Gosh, I’m so tired. Brother, let’s play together. I’m going to have a rest. Okay, play with her. Play with her. Here you go. My gosh. Aren’t they going to study today? Have a half an hour break.
Strike a balance between work and play. Is Mi Tao really that clever? Her IQ is 140. She’s literally a genius, right? She’s quite outstanding. The teachers said that not only that she’s clever, she’s hardworking too. These two factors are interrelated. If you’re smart, it’s easier for you to study
And gain the sense of achievement. When you have a sense of achievement, it’ll be easier for you to study and you’ll seem smarter too. We don’t compare ourselves with others. We only compare with our own selves. As long as we’re better than yesterday. Besides, Huan Huan isn’t a fool too. Yes.
My sister is the smartest. She’s the smartest, isn’t she? You’re a daughter slave. And you’re a sister adorer. Our family’s centre position belongs to Huan Huan. Of course it must be you. That’s better. Hey, do you still want to play? Let’s continue. The car is chasing after the plane.
Do you still want to fly? Here, push this. Be careful of your legs. I’ll do it. Thank you. You’re welcome. You haven’t closed your stall yet? I’ve just finished closing up my stall. You’re back? Have you closed up your stall? Yes. Mum, dad is back. You’re back. Here. Carry the lighter one.
Yes, hold its bottom. Don’t drop it. I’m leaving, see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Look what we have. Braised Mutton. It’s your favourite dish. Help yourself. How is it? Is it yummy? Scrumptious. It’s scrumptious? Then you should eat more. I’ve also bought you some new clothes and new shoes.
After you finished your meal and homework, let’s try them on together. Tao, if you want anything, you must let me know. I think that it’s good enough now. It’s great to be with mum and dad. Okay then. You must listen to your teachers when you’re in school.
Study hard. Remember, knowledge can change your fate. Our child never lets us down. Tao, mum and dad can’t help you much with your academics. You still need to depend on your own. Okay. By the way, how is the Elite Class? Are you doing okay? Mr. Zhong teaches us very well.
Once he explains the tricky question, I can understand it right away. I’ve always loved Mathematics. After joining his classes, I love Mathematics even more. Compared to what he has taught us, back then, I was really… What? Well, I was really narrow-minded. Narrow-minded? You even use such a phrase.
Where did you learn it from? You even use it correctly. Good job. We must always remember Mr. Zhong’s favour. Mr. Zhong told me that as long as I’m willing to put in my effort, with my good academics, I can provide for myself. Seems like we’ve really met a good person.
We should really thank Mr. Zhong properly. Yes. Tao, eat more. After you finished your meal, let’s try on the new clothes and shoes. Okay. Are you done? Are you done? Are you done now? You can come out now. Ms. Mi Tao has make her appearance. Ms. Mi Tao is really pretty.
Who’s this beauty? You look really good. Smashingly stunning. Of course, she’s my daughter. Daughter looks alike with her dad. You look amazing. Spin around again. Do you like it? I love it. Cutie pie. Hello, master. Play me a folk song please. Okay. Now playing, classic folk song, Beautiful Night. [QQ Music] [Beautiful Night]
Look. It’s reacting to her instructions and it even sings. Yes. This is really amusing. -High technology. -There’s a lot more. Is there any Peking opera? Yes, as long as you can find it on the Internet, it can play it out. That’s marvelous. This is really wonderful. People nowadays are really creative.
Well, youngsters love new and interesting stuffs. However, the elderly reject those. An elderly who is as open-minded as Uncle Nan is rare. He has an advanced learning ability and is updated with the latest trends. Listen, she’s really good at complimenting people. I’m speaking the truth. There are many well-educated intellectuals
And quite a number of elderly who are trendy too. But Uncle Nan is the only elderly who is well-educated yet open-minded, fashionable yet dignified. You’re always my idol. Idol? It means idol in English. Idol. Do you notice the difference now? Uncle Nan, listen. This has everything, including health management. Yes.
I guess you really like the present from Lan Lan. Of course. Lan Lan is very thoughtful. She’s thoughtful at everything. You’re like your mum. I’m just treating you sincerely, just like how you treat me. Uncle Nan, we’ll always remember your favour to us. Deep down, I see you as my own father.
You’re my biological father. I’m your only biological daughter. You… I remember that I bought you some good clothes previously. Why haven’t you worn it yet? That is too pricey. I don’t want to ruin it. So, I can’t bear to wear it. Look. That’s what your mum is. She’s always skimping.
Its quality is good, don’t you worry. Just wear it. If it wears out, I’ll buy you a new one. That’s right. Go and wear it. Put it on now. Show us. Yes. Alright then. Tell me more about this. -Sure. -Tell me more about this. Uncle Nan, listen.
You just need to call it cutie pie, and it will respond to you. Stick the eyes properly. Dear, Chao Chao’s handicraft is all yours now. But… Chao Chao and Huan Huan will still be doing it, right? I’m just their helper, right? Stick the nose. -Yes, the nose. -Done. Gosh, this looks cool.
I want to give it a cool name. It’ll be named as Nine, okay? Cool, Nine! Enough. Come over. Nine. Wash your hands. Have some fruits. Alright, have some fruits, son. Have some fruits. It’s called as Nine? I’ll have a look. Let’s go. I’ll have some fruits with sister. What does Nine look like?
Wash your hands. It looks great. Dear, I need your help. What’s the matter? My dad’s going to renew the cemetery plot that he has bought previously. Hence, he needs to go to Zhangzhou. I’m planning to go with him. Please check this out for me. Is this two-day trip guide reliable?.
Aren’t there a few tourist attractions nearby? I think this should be okay. We’ll just enjoy the sun and breeze. Now, I really think that health is the most important thing. Well, my dad isn’t in good health these few years. Although he’s well provided, he didn’t have a good time like the others.
I must still spend more time with him. Yes. He’ll sure be happy knowing that you care for him. Up there. Cutie pie. Hello, master. I’m here. Your mum thought I was calling for her. It’s okay. You look really beautiful. Why didn’t you wear it? It’s pretty. That’s right. You look stunning. Uncle Nan.
Let me take a photo of you two. Come on, mum. Have a seat. Let’s take a photo together. Alright. I’ll take a photo of you two. It’s rare to see my mum being this beautiful. No, your mum is always beautiful. Uncle Nan is really a sweet talker. Look over here. Smile.
One, two, three. How is it? Does it look good? Handsome man and a beauty. -You’re a sweet talker. -I’ll send it in the group chat. Don’t. Just send it to me. Okay. Look at you. You should wear this often. I’ve sent it to you. [Listen, this is the child of my husband’s colleague.]
[He’s already in one of the top three universities.] [Hence, this template is hard to come by.] [You can’t even get it with money.] Thank you, darling. [Well, never mind that. We’re friends.] This is truly a capable student. The resume is superb. Zi You is good too.
Why is the school experience section so lengthy? [Nowadays, the schools will look at students’ all-round ability too.] [Class monitor, deputy class monitor,] team leader and brigade committee. These positions are bonus marks. Another election is happening soon. Is Zi You the subject representative or the study commissar? Is this that significant?
Of course it’s significant. All junior high schools acknowledge this.
