[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 37] Auntie, your rice and vermicelli are here. Sure. Thank you, young man. -It’s nothing. -Can you help me to bring them inside? Sure. Over here. -In the kitchen. -Okay.
-Help me to put it inside. -Sure. That’s right. -I’ll put it here, Auntie. -Sure, just put it here. Thank you. Let me help you with them. -Are there more of it? -Yes, there are. [If Dad and Mom ended up having a happy, everlasting marriage,] [would you have a smooth life?]
[Even if Huan Huan and Chao Chao] [can get into Tsinghua University] [and beat Zi You one-up] [do you think you can then defeat Tian Yu Lan?] [You’re not satisfied with your life.] [So you insist on competing with our parents and kids.] [Yet, you refuse to figure out your own problems.]
[The kids are not your tool to turn things around!] [You’re your dad’s only son! But he didn’t even ask you to see him before he died!] [Are you and your mother more than strangers?] [That’s why you went from one extreme end to another!] [You always dote on the kids!] [You have no principles!]
-Hello? -Sister-in-law. Didn’t we agree on attending my class for long term? It won’t work if you give up halfway through. Yes, we did. What’s wrong? [Wait, didn’t you know that?] [Huan Huan and Chao Chao didn’t come here after school.] [Senior just sent me message.] [He said they wouldn’t come to my class anymore.]
Yan Zi You dropped out, too. Wait, what’s the matter with you guys? It’s your idea to let Mi Tao provoke Huan Huan, wasn’t it? Did you and Senior agree on that? ♫ The magic castle in the fairytale has the smell of fantasy ♫ What song is this, Dad?
Why do I like it so much? ♫ Its flowing magic spreading into every nook and cranny of the universe ♫ Huan Huan, look it up for him. [QQ Music] [The Magic Castle] ♫ The legendary castle protects every smiling face ♫ Look. According to QQ Music, this song is called The Magic Castle.
♫ Do a magic spell to make wishes come true ♫ How brilliant you are, Sister! You’re amazing, Sister! ♫ Walking along the footpath outside the forest, viewing the blooming flowers♫ ♫ Elements in the sky and I are walking under the gate ♫
♫ Finding the fairies dancing in the depths of the corridor ♫ ♫ Suddenly I want to announce to the world that I want to be your knight ♫ ♫ Timeworn books, knights, witches ♫ I didn’t know about that. Don’t panic. I’ll talk to your senior. But what did you say?
[Yan Zi You has dropped out?] That’s right. His dad came to take care of it. Seriously, I knew nothing about that. We didn’t discuss doing so. Well, I’ll call and ask them, okay? Don’t panic, okay? [Li Li] Dad. Are we really not going to Mr. Zhong’s class? We’re not. -Not anymore? -Not anymore.
Yeah, I’m so happy! We’re so happy! Mom will definitely get mad again. And both of you will fight again. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with it. Just enjoy yourself! We’re in an amusing park. Aren’t you having fun? Here comes the little plane! Hello, where are you? I’m still on the business trip. No wonder.
Did you know? Yan Peng has withdrawn Yan Zi You from Zhong Yi’s class. Hello? Do you hear me? So be it. Wait, how could he withdraw himself from it? How could you just give in to it at this critical moment? All our efforts are in vain. Zi You. He’s been feeling unwell lately.
He’s got weak immunity. Since the New Year is around the corner, [I’d like him to get some rest.] It’s okay to get some rest. But he didn’t have to withdraw from it. You should get on with it after the New Year. We can talk about that afterwards.
I’ve got something on. I’m hanging up. Bye. I remember this kid. He was here for the checkup this morning. And his condition has gotten better. When he recovers from it, will he see Da Long again? Judging from my conversations with him, we’re not sure if he can really see Da Long.
In fact, he’s under too much pressure. He didn’t have a breathing space in his life. And maybe it’s because he doesn’t have too many friends that he come up with an imaginary friend to overcome his loneliness. It’s imagination, not illusion? He once told me that Da Long didn’t wear much during winter.
That two-dimensional people aren’t afraid of the cold. So he seemed to realise that Da Long doesn’t exist. Just like us adults who always daydream about things. When we can’t sleep or feel bored, we tend to imagine things. [Actually, you don’t have to panic about Da Long.] Just take it easy.
I learned from his dad that he’s into playing football. Yes, he likes it a lot. ♫ Listening to the wind outside the window ♫ It’s great that he’s into it. ♫ Watching the long rain ♫ Let him play football. After he releases his stress, things will get better.
♫ My love for you ♫ ♫ It’s not expressed in a very grand manner ♫ [That’s the other way for him to cure his loneliness.] [When he feels relaxed, he won’t need Da Long anymore.] ♫ Waiting for you to grow up ♫ [And he won’t see him again.]
♫ And time is budding ♫ ♫ And the warmth in the hand ♫ ♫ It remains in your heart ♫ ♫ Which is full of blooming flowers ♫ ♫ Someday I will leave ♫ ♫ For a beautiful planet ♫ ♫ Lift your head up and count ♫
♫ The brightest star in the sky ♫ ♫ I will grow up with you ♫ ♫ Like painting a beautiful drawing ♫ ♫ Look, the crape myrtle is blooming again ♫ ♫ And it looks so beautiful in the sunset ♫ ♫ Growing up slowly with you ♫ ♫ And time is budding ♫
♫ And the warmth in the hand ♫ ♫ It remains in your heart ♫ ♫ Which is full of blooming flowers ♫ ♫ Someday I will leave ♫ ♫ For a beautiful planet ♫ ♫ Lift your head up and count ♫ ♫ The brightest star in the sky ♫
♫ I will grow up with you ♫ ♫ Like painting a beautiful drawing ♫ ♫ Look, the crape myrtle is blooming again ♫ ♫ And it looks so beautiful in the sunset ♫ He was playing football energetically. I haven’t seen him that happy for so long. What a brat.
He’s totally liberated himself because I’m not home. And I worry about him eating well and keeping himself warm all the time. I really about him that I can’t even sleep well. I don’t think he’s ever missed me. He’s missed you, too. He calls every day and ask me when you will be back.
Really? Why would I lie to you? We talked yesterday. And he ended up crying. Then why doesn’t he call me? [He’s your child. Don’t you know him well?] He’s an introvert. And he’s had a fight with you. So he feels embarrassed. [I think he’s scared of you.]
It’s very pitiful that you’re not with him. He’s never been away from you since he was small. Don’t be so hard on them. They insist on staying at his grandparents’. Am I to blame for it? Didn’t you say you’re on a business trip? If you don’t believe me, give it a try.
Tell them that you’re back. The father and the son will come home at once. Fine. You’re back. Where are Huan Huan and Chao Chao? They’re at Mum’s. She’ll send them back here later. Li Li. Can you come here? I have something to show you.
Huan Huan was four to five years old at that time. A little younger than Chao Chao is. But she’s way smarter than him. Look how happy our family of four was. But the carefree Chao Chao will soon become like Huan Huan, who is buried under homework.
She talks back to and fights with you. Huan Huan who doesn’t smile at all. She used to be as innocent and cute as Chao Chao. Have you forgotten about all this? I’m afraid you’ve forgotten it as well. The reason why we sent her to tuition. Her grades are dropping.
She’s at the bottom of her class. And she’s not happy about losing her position as deputy class monitor. She asked to go to tuition. And you said yes to it. You even rolled up your sleeves and tutored her. Now that she’s withdrawn herself from both Ze Shu and Zhong Yi’s class,
Are you really going to let her do whatever she wants? But she can’t handle such a great pressure for now. Shouldn’t we balance study and leisure? She got a C for Maths during the final semester exam. Let me ask you a question.
If she remains at the bottom of her class after the winter break, will you really be okay with it? It shouldn’t be so. It shouldn’t be so? Even if you’re okay with it, considering Huan Huan’s personality, do you think she can take it? We have no choice.
After all, we’ve come to this stage. If we cut her some slack now, her grades would drop immediately. All our efforts would go in vain. The hard work we put into the last two semester would be for nothing. Well, how about this? Didn’t you come up with the schedule?
I’ll supervise Huan Huan completing it. But can you reduce the workload? Let’s meet halfway. And Chao Chao is still young. Can’t you spare him it? Chao Chao is still young. Huan Huan is already in sixth grade. She can’t slack off again no matter what. Aren’t you celebrating New Year at your mom’s? Yeah.
You can go with Chao Chao first. Huan Huan must stay here. I’ll help her with her studies. Is that necessary? It’s the biggest compromise I can make. Don’t push your luck. The winter break starts on the 17th. I’ll leave with Chao Chao on the 18th.
Huan Huan and you will come on the 30th, okay? Stop watching it. Bang! You’re going to break the car. Your dad bought you that? My friend lent it to me. Okay, have fun over there. Play over there. Finish reading the book and put it here. Don’t let your mom find out about it.
My mom always tells me to study. You know what? I don’t like learning Math Olympiad at all. And I don’t like memorising vocabulary, too. I’m so sick of memorising it. But Mom does so because it’s for your own good. Right? She doesn’t want you to fall behind others. Well…
Your mom must be upset seeing you study so hard. I don’t think so. She would prefer a daughter like Mi Tao. One who does well in studies and saves face for her. I don’t like to have a mother like her. I hate her.
How could you talk bad about your mom? You can’t do that. She loves you so much. No parent would favour other’s kid and despise their own. You’re talking nonsense. Don’t ever say that to your mom. If she ever heard of it, she’d be extremely upset. When you grow up,
You will understand your mom’s good intentions. Hurry up and finish the reading. You’re getting hang of it. You see. Let’s do it again. The key to it is stability. And figure out how to get on with the second stroke. Do you see it? Follow my hand. Steady. Look. Do you see it?
Zi You. Your mom sent you a message on WeChat. She said the meeting would take a long time. She couldn’t have a video call with you. Here, let’s continue. Do you see this heart character? As for this character, you need to slowly complete it, too. Does it look nicer? Nien (to miss).
To constantly miss one. According to Shuowen Jiezi, it means listening to one’s heart. Basically, it means following your thoughts, here and now. Sometimes we reflect by missing someone. Do you understand? Zi You, think about it. Do you love more than you hate your mom? Can you talk to the boy?
Zi You has missed you. He said he didn’t want me. Let him know what it feels like to be a motherless child. Cut it out. How can you harbour a grudge against your child? Distance creates beauty. Both of us should take a break from each other. Brother. What’s the homework for today?
Zi You’s memo is not complete. [Didn’t they send it to the group chat for parents?] [I’m not in the group.] [Seriously?] Your kid is already in sixth grade. But you’re not in the group chat. Cut it out already. Hurry up and send it to me. And add me into the group chat later.
I’m driving. I’ll send you when I get home. [Sure.] Mom. When will Yu Lan be back? Is she really going to abandon her husband and son and celebrate the New Year elsewhere? She needs to work. So she can’t just focus totally on Zi You. I don’t mean to blame you.
But she can’t be the only one doing the parenting. You should do your part as a father. Otherwise, your parents will nitpick about her being too permissive. Am I not doing my part? Keep persuading her for me. You do know Lan Lan’s temper. She’s hardened her heart to it because she’s really upset.
There’s no use persuading her at all. You’re on your own. Stop jumping, Chao Chao. You need to go to bed early. We’re going to Grandma’s tomorrow. I want Mom to sleep with me. Look, Chao Chao. I’m packing your luggage. Come and take a look.
Look. What else do you want to bring along besides these toys? Do you want that triceratops? Yes. And Da Xia Dragon. I’ll take them for you. Triceratops and Da Xia Dragon. Let me tell you. Grandma’s place is colder than ours. You must wear thick clothes. Especially your tiny caps and scarves. Got it?
Got it. It’s to prevent frostbite on your little face and hands. Got it, Mom. Give me a call when you reach Grandma’s. Wherever you are, stay with the adults. Don’t stray. And don’t just eat whatever you find. Got it, Mom. Huan Huan. Stay safe when you’re at home. Before going to bed,
You need to check if the doors and windows are properly locked. As well as the gas. And before setting off for Grandma’s, you have to lock the shut off valves for water and natural gas. But not the power supply. Otherwise, the food in the fridge would become stale. And I put your paperwork
Inside the second drawer in the changing room. And I’ve withdrawn some cash money. And it’s inside the bedside table. For emergency use. Huan Huan. Have you finished the exercise in the Junior Mathematical Olympiad? Yes. Show it to me. Come to the study. All right, Chao Chao. Let me tell you a story.
We’ll go to bed after that. Let’s go. Mi Tao will be away for some time. I’ve gotten some semi processed foods. They’re in the fridge. You and Huan Huan will make do with them. Would I let her go hungry? Oh yeah. I forgot Chao Chao’s puzzle. Remember to put it together. No need.
If he makes noise or gets impatient on the way there, the puzzle can keep him quiet. It’s okay. I can tell him stories. You will get tired eventually. He’s so energetic. If he stays quiet for thirty minutes on the plane, you get to take some sleep. Go to bed early. You’re here, darling.
Dad and I are leaving, Mom. Stay safe. Don’t be naughty and listen to Dad. Got it? Got it. Also, memorise the vocabulary well. I’ll test you after that. Got it, Mom. Chao Chao, we should leave now. Dad and I are leaving. Bye-bye, Mom. Bye-bye, darling. Go ahead. Huan Huan.
Your brother and I are leaving. Do you want to come out and say goodbye to us? I want to say goodbye to Sister. Goodbye. I want to hug you goodbye, Sister. Huan Huan. Your brother is waiting for you out here. Fine, Huan Huan. Stay home with Mom.
If you miss us, have a video call with us. We’re taking off. Here, put on your jacket. Come. Let’s go. ♫ 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 ♫ ♫ But it never let go ♫ ♫ Cry and laugh, just like a kid ♫ ♫ Little things, sweet and salty ♫
♫ No matter it’s good or bad, you’ll remember only when you have it ♫ ♫ Loss is always more profound ♫ ♫ I want to cherish you in my mouth, but you might melt ♫ ♫ I want to hold you in my hands, but you might fall ♫
♫ It’s not true that I didn’t care about you ♫ ♫ I care for you, secretly in my heart ♫ ♫ 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 ♫ [Let’s make up.] ♫ But it never let go ♫ [You’re right. My method was indeed a problematic one.] [I will change it. Don’t be mad at me.]
[I’m going back to my hometown tomorrow for New Year.] [Aren’t you coming to see me off?] [I’ll treat you to…] [All right.] How big these scallops are. Look. Does it look like a crown? Eat up. The meat is already overcooked. Look how big the steak is. I’ll get you the meat.
Actually, we didn’t have to come to such a fancy place. What are you saying? Why did I work so hard throughout the year? It’s to buy you a meal here. -Don’t think it’s a waste. -I don’t deserve it. Do you hear yourself? What do you mean by that?
For whom do I work my fingers to the bone? It’s all for you. Eat up. It’s all because of me? Actually, I’ve never been materialistic. Ever since I graduated, I’ve always wanted to be a good teacher. I know, there is no conflict… I hope my fellow students will grow up happily and healthily.
And they get to have their own complete personality. Yet, Huan Huan is now a different person. Zi You is having some psychological problem. And Mi Tao was hurt. And you said you did all this for me. What have become of me? I didn’t mean it that way. Let’s stop talking about it.
We will make this a happy meal. Here. Zhong Yi. I think I need to reconsider myself. And I also have to reconsider you. Well, you should eat this meat before it becomes overcooked. Eat up. Let’s not talk about all this today, okay? We won’t talk about it. Let’s have a happy New Year.
Eat up. [Lot drawing for junior high school admission is coming soon.] [How many families are excited about it? And how many feel otherwise?] He’s wearing Cristiano Ronaldo’s No. 7 shirts in Juventus. I like Cristiano Ronaldo, too. [Certificate of Honor] [Yan Zi You’s mom]
[I’ve got flying phobia. And I only feel safe after landing.] [Wifey] [I’ve got flying phobia. And I only feel safe after landing.] Zi You. Your mom has come home. -Really? -Yes! Look, your mom has come home! She’s come home! Quick, pack your stuff! I’ll pack the luggage! Okay! Zi You. I’m back.
I’ve bought you delicious food! Hurry up! Where are you going? Tian Yu Lan is back. And we’re going home. No way! If you go back now, it’s like admitting defeat to her! And she will be domineering than ever! No way! Why would she go to the trouble to be domineering?
Besides, New Year is around the corner. We can’t leave her alone at home. Zi You. You forgot to say goodbye to me. Goodbye, Grandma. It’s all for nothing. You’ve got yourself so many stocks. -Because New Year is coming soon. -Your business is doing well this year. Watch out. Excuse me. Watch out.
[Seafood] [Fruits & Vegetables] Excuse me. -You’ve got so many stocks for New Year. -That’s right. Brother Mi, you’ve got so many stocks there. Yeah, because New Year is around the corner. Plus, we’re not going home for it. You’re not going back for New Year? Are you waiting to make a big fortune?
Aren’t they going to demolish the market? Since the business is doing good during New Year, we will try to make as much money as we can. After that, we will rent a storefront. Then, we will move into a house with comfortable environment.
Her mom even applied for a leave to help me out with the business. May your wishes come true. Thank you. May your business bloom. -Mom. -Yes? When we move into a new place, can we send for Sister? Move that here. Rest assured. We will send for her as soon as possible, okay?
If you miss Grandpa, Grandma, and your sister, give them a call. After the fifteenth day of New Year, we will go and visit them on one of the weekends. Sure. Check out our apples. Hurry up. We’re back. I’m back, Mom! Mom. Mom. We came home to warm dishes and rice.
How lucky we are. I didn’t know you’d be home. So I didn’t cook for you. Both of us haven’t eaten yet. Well, it’s okay. There’s no rice. But we can eat the dishes. Here. It’s been a while since we ate together. Here, let’s eat with Mom.
I’ve told you that I didn’t cook for you. If you ate it, there wouldn’t be enough for me. Mom. But I haven’t eaten. I’m hungry. Yes, he’s hungry. So is his dad. Thank you, Mom. Wash your hands. Okay. Little traitor. It smells so good, dear. I’ve even dreamed about this smell. Dear.
Now that you’re back, I… Let me have a piece of these. Just give me a chance. Look how petty your mom is. -Does it taste nice? -Yes. It tastes so good! It’s mouth-watering. I want to have it, too. It’s been a while since I had your mom’s cooking. Let me have a bite.
Just a bite.
