Dear Xiao-ting
I've arrived safely
Hong Kong is actually very far
Everything is so different from Tianjin
Lots of cars, lots of people
Lots of pick-pockets too
The Cantonese are rude and loud
Xiao-ting
I really miss you
What do you want?
Is Ms. Li here?
A Mainlander
You want a hooker?
Girls! Customer at the door
I'm looking for my aunt
Does anybody speak Mandarin?
There are lots of foreigners here
babbling strange languages
even Chinese Cantonese
I don't understand
It's so foreign
Except for Auntie
She speaks Mandarin
Auntie is very nice
She gave me a room, all to myself
It has a great view
Even my own toilet
I don't have to go out to pee at night
It's so much better than home
Everything is fine here, don't worry about me
Ready to work?
Wish you girls lots of customers today
Hong Kong people are so strange
They don't seem to need to go to work
They wake up late in the morning
Dress up and go out every night
Auntie told me...
Don't call me Aunt
Call me Rosie
Rosie
Right
Come in
Wear this for the job interview
The way you're dressed
cops will send you back across the border
Thank you
Be careful
Take this to dry-clean on your 1st pay-day
One day, he'll come back for it
You mean uncle?
William
You're a bit alike
Rosie, delivery is here, get your purse
Are you crazy?
This is a butcher shop
Why are you all dressed up?
I'll take him
to buy some cheap clothes
Alright, your shift starts at 6 in the morning
We're extremely busy in the morning
By the way, teach this hick some Cantonese
Got it! Thanks a lot
Let's go
Thank you
Go
Your Aunt really loves you
She gave you the boozehound's suit
Watch where you're going
God damn cab driver
Curse you to be a cab driver for eternity
Curse your wife to be a hooker for life
Forget it
It's not boozehound, it's William
William who?
Your Aunt was crazy about William
So one night, she picked up a boozehound on the street
She told everybody that he was William
Understand what I'm saying?
She's nuts
Dear Xiao-ting
I've found a job
in the transport business
It's an easy job and it pays well
I make around $2,000 a month
Plus a bonus
Are you proud of me?
I'm making more money than the mayor of Tianjin
I work on the streets a lot
Especially Tsimshatsui
I know the area by heart
Tsimshatsui is where it's all happening
I'm a little soldier
I came from peasant stock
I kicked Japanese ass
You're nuts
Learning Cantonese is vital in HK
But even after I learnt it
I still don't get what most people say on the street
Xiao-ting
Tomorrow is my pay day
I'll buy you a present
Go somewhere Tianjian people have never been
May I help anyone here?
May I take your order sir?
Ham...Hamburger
Anything else?
Co...Co...
- Coke - Yes
For here or to go?
Eat here or take home?
Eat here
Thank you, $5.6 please
5.6
Alright
Next please
Excuse me...
- Manager, someone wants to talk to you - Step aside please
- Thank you - Can I help you?
- How are you? - You want a job?
- You speak Cantonese? - A little bit
Very little
How about English?
Well, it's...
Not really
Leave your name and number
This is my name and number
I can't find the manager
Please
Thank you
Are you from the Mainland?
Yes, how did you know?
From your Cantonese
It's awful
You'll have trouble if you don't know English in HK
I know, but what can I do
There are many schools in Hong Kong
- Do you understand me? - Yes
Schools that teach English geared to Mainlanders
Actually English is easy
Are you from the Mainland too?
Of course not
I speak fluent Cantonese
But you speak good Mandarin too
Speaking Mandarin doesn't make you a Mainlander
But not speaking Cantonese makes you a Mainlander
Want to learn English?
Can I have this?
- You want this? - Yes, it's nice paper
I can write letters home with it
There are no McDonald's in Tianjin
- I'll get you some new ones - Thank you
Now do you want to learn English?
Can I work here if I know English?
You can work anywhere if you know English
But I don't want to work anywhere else
Don't speak too soon
till you've mastered English?
$100 for registration
But I only have fifty dollars
Do you have an ATM card?
What's that?
It's a card to withdraw cash
You stick it into the computer
The computer spits out the money
- Shit? - So you have one?
- That's amazing - If you don't have one
apply for one, it's real handy
I'll pull some strings so just pay $50 today
When you come to class next week
- pay the $500 balance, ok? - Thank you
How are you?
Hey, China girl
Making money from your own people again
He's not my own people, he's from the North
He speaks Mandarin
That's correct
$500 is a real bargain
Text books included
Thank you
Do you know her?
I work here part-time
Part time?
That's a pager
A pager! You're incredible
You've even got your own pager
Alright, have a nice life
Good bye
How are you?
I'm fine, thank you
Thank you, thank you
My name is Jeremy
My girlfriend calls me Jamie
Jamie
Isn't that a girl's name?
No, Jamie can either be a guy or a girl
You must have mistaken Jamie for Jenny
Jenny
Jump you son of the bitch! Jump
You go to hell
See you... Bye
Hello
Class is over, go home
I'm Li Xiao-jun
I know
Bye
Are you in a hurry?
Yes, very much
Aren't you leaving?
Do you want a ride?
Do you drive?
Well, let's go then. Hurry up
You know? In Hong Kong
people don't give rides on their bikes
I feel like I'm back in Tianjin
You're heavier than my girlfriend
So sweet
Your smile is so sweet
like flowers blooming in the breeze...
warm spring breezes
I must have seen you before
I remember your smile
But where did we meet?
Oh...in my dream
Everybody go to hell
We all go to hell
[Thai] Writing home?
Home?
Girlfriend
I don't understand
She's beautiful
Father, mother
Writing a love letter?
When you've mastered English, write to William for me
Sure
William again?
He died ages ago
Come on
Why do they call me Uncle China?
They should call you a hick
I'd rather people call me uncle
Can you drop these off? It's urgent
Keep them away from the chicken
Go
I'm in a hurry too
So stop talking and get moving
Be careful
Actually HK people all come from the Mainland
Their ancestors were Uncle China too
Great meal
You eat like you're getting ready to work hard
Let's start the delivery 2 hours earlier tomorrow
OK
It's getting better each day
Go, I'll pay. I'll pay you for the gas
A bicycle doesn't need gas
How come you know everything
Were you a top student?
How come you know nothing?
What do you do for fun?
I play basketball
Which ones are triple-X?
This, this and this
Four for a week. This is better than basketball
Help me with the delivery, you'll get 5 next week
You seem to have a lot of free time?
Don't you have friends
You're my friend
You have no friends, too
I could have many friends if I wanted
I'd rather make more money with my time
What are you looking at? Never seen a rich girl?
Let's go
How come you're so rich?
None of your business!
How come you're so poor?
That's a lot of money
Let's go, smarten up
Why not teach me?
You have to be born with such talent
Where did you get so many coins?
The bank, of course! Idiot
After dinner
customers will come pouring
Look at you, a young entrepreneur
You have a share too
Rather small share though, only $1,000
But, my aunt said only Mainlanders
love Teresa Tang's songs
That's exactly the point
Know how many Mainlanders are in Hong Kong?
The paper said
Mainlanders comprise 20% of the HK population
They're everywhere
They're just not recognizable, unlike you
For example, between you and me,
50% are Mainlanders
You've got a point
Comrade Li Xiao-jun, we're going to make a lot of money
Golden songs from Teresa Tang just $28, cassette tape
Forty dollars for a record
Rain or shine, buy Teresa Tang
Buy Teresa Tang, save it for a rainy day
Teresa Tang's greatest hits
Do you have Alan Tam's greatest hits?
No
Let's go
The best of Teresa Tang, great price
A real bargain, never before
Prettiest voice in China
Teresa Tang's golden hits
Come and get it while stocks last
It's hot
So many customers on the other side
Such a long queue
Let's sell milk next year
Last New Year's Eve in Guangzhou
my cousin and I sold 4000 cassettes
Auntie said if you are a fan of Teresa Tang
Your identity of mainlander will be exposed
So people won't buy the cassettes even if they're fans
You said you were in Guangzhou?
I was last year
And the year before that, and before
But not this year
I come from Guangzhou
I knew it
We're comrades
No way
We speak Cantonese
We get Hong Kong TV
We're so much closer to Hong Kong
Right, your look, your gestures
Your face, your hair are so Hong Kong
Are you pulling my leg?
At least I'm not using you
So, why didn't you stop me?
If I did, I was afraid you'd stop being my friend
Besides, I've got nothing else to do
I don't want to lose my only friend in HK
Actually you're my only friend too
Last Lunar New Year, I stayed over at Xiao-ting's place
It was late, we were hungry
We made dumplings together
The dumplings were delicious
You know how Northerners love dumplings
I'm full, I can't eat any more
It's a nice place
Isn't it noisy?
Not really
Let's clean up
The rain has stopped
Give me some water
Your hands are so cold
Really?
I'm leaving
I'll get you a coat
I'm sorry
It's alright
No, it's enough
It's cold out there
It's so ugly
Hong Kong calling Fang Xiao-ting
That's me
Xiao Ting?
Xiao-jun, I've been waiting for your call
Have you had the festive meal
I thought about you last night
Is everything OK?
It's a bad connection
I got the stuff you sent me
The sweater you knitted...
I'm wearing it now
Really? But I can't see it
Xiao-ting?
Yes?
I love you
So corny
It's lunar new year
Need to say it again
Hi
Sausage McMuffin, it's new on the menu
Buy two get one Teddy bear free
I'll get you a half dozen
Send them home to your folks
What are friends for?
What's the matter?
The money you owe...
I think I should help out
Take it back, please
I need to take responsibility
What responsibility?
The money you owe...
You'll be wanted
chased by loan sharks
Don't worry about me
I found a buyer today
$8 per cassette He'll take them all
$8 each? You'll be selling at a loss?
Of course
So why are you selling
What else can I do?
It's better than a total loss
That's life! No pain, no gain
But I'll do better next time
Hey!
Last night...
Do we need to talk about it?
I don't know what happened last night
Last night... it was raining and cold
We were two lonely people keeping each other warm
Did you call home?
Yes?
Go home, You have to work tomorrow
OK
Li Qiao
Happy new year
To prosperity
To happiness
- To money - To longevity
- To a jackpot - To good health
To Mercedes
To better life
To friendship
Hi
Who was that?
Jeremy, you know him
I meant the girl
Oh, she's Cabbage, my neighbor
She's a hooker
It's rude to call her that
But that's what she is
Dear Xiao-ting
Lately, I... umm...
Dear Xiao-ting, I
Jeremy is going steady with Cabbage
How do you know?
They visit the love motel all the time
That doesn't mean they're going steady
But even if they are, so what?
But Cabbage is a hooker
But she makes more money than you
Dear Xiao-ting
I...
Why are all your bras are so stiff?
Because I'm big
Why do you wear swim trunks instead of underwear?
Dear Xiao-ting
I'm sorry
Dear Xiao-ting
I've been busy lately
I haven't written much to you
Don't be mad
I'm a senior now in the English class
I was promoted at work
Everything is fine, Don't worry about me
I almost forgot to tell you
I recently made a new friend
He's going to make me a junior chef
A chef can earn a lot of money
The average salary is $10,000 a month
Xiao-ting
I think I'm one lucky guy
Wrong again, can't you remember the pin number?
Think again
This is the third and final try
Is it right?
I told you
It's gone now
Move over, it's my turn
Cheer up
It's no big deal, just apply for a new one
How long will it take?
Bingo!
People said (Deutsche) Mark is rising
Who is Mark?
My brother
Get serious
Even grandmothers make money from
stocks and foreign exchange
Not the grandmothers who buy chicken from us
They just don't want to let you in on it
Not everyone treats you as nicely as I do
Did you know?
Stocks and bonds are HK's national products
Just like oil in the Middle East
Durians in Thailand
If you want to be rich in Hong Kong
you must buy stocks and bonds
Can you teach me?
Teach you again
You've drained all my knowledge
Lining up to buy a new apartment?
No, the real estate agency paid us to line up
So are we?
How much did they pay you?
$5,000 per unit
5000
We're only being paid $3,000
They're getting $2,000 more per unit
Luckily, we're used to lining up in China
They must all be your comrades
All well trained
Screaming and fighting over $2,000
It's hot tonight
When it's hot, people get grouchy
They're doomed
Trapped in a tiny apartment
Fighting over scraps for the rest of their lives
Come bed-time, everything will be fine
It takes lots of sacrifice to come to HK
I'm not going to waste my life like them
Not everybody thinks as big as you do
What's wrong with thinking big
People should have goals in life
I don't have any
Don't you want to save enough money
to bring your sweet-heart to HK
Is that a goal too?
Sure it is
Just not very ambitious
I'm glad I don't have a sweetheart back home
If I wanted to marry a Mainlander
why bother coming to HK?
Li Xiao-jun
What's in your pants?
That's disgusting
Oh, shit
It's chocolate
I bought it for you
Why are you so nice to me?
It's a mess
How can I eat melted chocolate?
It's still good
I don't want it
It melts after you eat it anyway
Try some
Just a bit
The Han Sing index hit 3600 today
Insiders say it's going hit 4000 by the end of the year
It's time to buy
In a couple of years, I'll line up for my own apartment
One in Hong Kong
One in China for my mom
Keep dreaming
Why not?
This is Hong Kong
If you work hard, anything is possible here
Li Xiao-jun, are we best friends?
Sure
Stuck with me through thick and thin, cheered me up
You're my best friend in Hong Kong
Thank you
Wow, English
Of course
I don't want anymore
Just a little bit more
Alright, just a tiny bit
It's horrible
Give me some water
Business is really bad lately
Even the regulars at the restaurant stay away
The stock market crash killed everyone
Shit
Customers usually start pouring in
by 4pm until 5am or 6am
It's tough in the beginning
Your hands get so sore you can't pick up chopsticks
Get lost. Pervert!
It's not a bad place to work
Considering the tips and the clientele
Throughout the years
We've see many girls came and go
You get $20 per hour
All tips go to you
How much in tips do you make?
Depends on what you're willing to do
It's up to you, understand?
Mr. Auyeung
Fanny is on leave today, I'll be your masseuse
My name is Qiao
Have you eaten?
Yes, thank you
Full?
Yes
So, you're ready to work hard
I love deep massage
If you're not good, I'll replace you. Don't cry
I haven't cried in over twenty years
Then why are your eyes red?
Your gold watch is hurting my eyes
You have a sharp tongue
My tongue is only good for eating and telling jokes
I don't think so
There must be other "job" your tongue can do
Boss, that asshole is the superintendent's son
So what? You chicken shit
Get lost
Why did you stop?
Where are you going?
I don't care who he is
Otherwise we'd take shit from everybody
Chop him up
You want a make a fat tip?
Sure, you want me to chop up somebody for you
Very funny
I'm only interested in what your tongue can do
I think someone else can better serve you
I'll find a replacement
You've got guts
Aren't you scared of me?
Nothing scares me
Except rats
Don't go, just do my back
25, 26, 27, 28, 29
How many chicken feet do 18 chicken have? 29?
Yes
You sure? It should be 31
I'll make chicken feet for you
Chicken feet are good for the joints
Since you use your fingers so much
I don't want it
I'm tired
Let's get a room for the night and sleep over
No, wake me in half an hour
I want to buy something for Xiao-ting
Help me choose something?
Her birthday is coming up
Look at how we're dressed
They'll look down on us
But I have money
I'm really going to buy something
Ok, Mr. Millionaire
Alright, let's go in
Money in my pocket gives me confidence
How much is it?
It's complimentary
Thank you
Come on, it's free
I think this is the best
What are you doing?
Nothing
I know, your hands are sore
You shouldn't do so many massages a day
What's wrong?
- He'll get this - Please wait
I don't want people to know what I do
You're not stealing
You're not a hooker
What's wrong with your job?
It's only massage
You want this one? Sir
Yes
Any discount if I buy two?
How about three?
Fixed price, so sorry
Oh, fixed price
- I'll buy two then. Thank you - Thank you
Did you win the lottery? Buying two of everything?
One for Xiao-ting, one for you
It looks good on you
You like it
I have enough money
I can afford it
I really can
Sorry, I forgot your fingers hurt
Did you want to announce to the whole world
That I'm a massage girl?
Want to put an ad in the paper?
I'm sorry
The bracelet looks good on you
I've never seen someone so stupid
How can you offer the same gift to two woman
Xiao-ting and I are completely different women
She's your girl, I'm your friend
We may have slept together, but...
One for her and one for me?
What are you trying to say?
Do you know what you're doing?
Don't be angry
Have you been working too hard?
Why don't you just quit
I'll find a second job to pay off your debt
You said you wanted to marry Xiao-ting didn't you?
Go back to Tianjin and marry her
I have a different dream
We're two completely different people
In fact, I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I'm doing
I have no sense of security, I hate this feeling
A few days ago, I called mom
I told her that I was going to be rich
But now, I'm penniless
I'm deep in debt
What have I done?
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I'm scared
I don't know what to do
If one day Xiao-ting meets a man
and they become friends
Like you and me
See each other constantly
Once in a while, they...
But keep telling themselves they're just friends
How would you feel?
I...
I'd be very unhappy
Comrade Li Xiao-jun
You're not what brought me to HK
I'm not what brought you to HK
I'm tired
All moved in?
No
Hey, don't forget to pay the rent
I've already paid
Anytime
Good morning, Mr. Au Yeung
I've brought a friend
I heard you're scared of him
Not even a smile? Are you in a bad mood?
I'll smile if you give me a big tip
I'm cheap. It's easy to make me smile
Go home and get some sleep
Calm down
There's always a way out
Why?
Please don't
More pressure
Did someone die or did you just get dumped?
I'm broke
That's great
You want to make a fat tip?
Pager number please
1986 please
Who's calling?
Li Xiao-jun
The message is...
Good bye
Dear Xiao-ting
I heard there was a heat wave in Beijing recently
It killed several people
How is Tianjin?
Remember that summer? It was hot
How is everyone at home?
You were with me...
Remember to wear warm clothes
The weather is changing by the day
People say
It's hasn't been this cold in fifty years
Everybody here talks about immigrating
Either to Australia or Canada
Meanwhile Mainlander's dream of HK
HK people dream of someplace else
When I was small, my parents often scolded me...
Enclosed is the video of Miss HK this year
I especially like the winner, Anita Yuen
She's sweet, just like you
But I think you're sweeter
Xiao-ting
I think this will probably be my last letter
No?
Next month you'll be in HK
"You're cordially invited to the wedding of..."
"To: Li Qiao"
Jump you son of a bitch, jump
Why is your English still so awful?
So what? As long as I make big money
Thank you for coming
Please help yourself
This is my wife
Congratulations
Have you seen Li Qiao?
She got into real estate and owns a flower shop
She's now a boss of a big enterprise
I knew it
She used to work twenty hours a day
She worked hard for her money
She introduced us to the English school?
She got commission
So it was all a scheme
You didn't know?
I told you before
Southerners are cunning
Here's Xiao-jun
The food is a late
If you're hungry, order some noodles
Did you invite Li Qiao
Yes
Enjoy yourself
What are you doing in the dark?
I'm leaving next week
No one will play basketball with me in New York
The Americans are so tall
Why wouldn't they want to play with you?
Hey, didn't I always kick your ass?
I just let you win
After I leave
take care of yourself
Congratulations
Thank you
I didn't think you would come
How could I miss your wedding?
You look very handsome
You finally achieved your goal
Pao, let me introduce you
- The groom - The groom. Congratulations
Very handsome
Where's the bride?
Ready, look at the camera
Smile, the groom and bride
Please look at the camera
One, two, three
Can't sleep
Yes
Maybe I'm too stressed out
Maybe you're not used to this new place yet
Maybe
There's only two of us in this house
It's so nice
In a few years, when I've saved enough
I'll buy a house for us
Take your time
When I first came to Hong Kong
I always wore that old blue jacket
I ate three big bowls of rice each day
I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed
Started work as soon as I got up
Everyday was a new experience
If only you were next to me
It would have been so nice
Cut the crap
Tell me who made the first move
Think the rules don't apply to you?
Wait for me. I'll be there
Where?
Something wrong?
Still up?
Your call woke me up
You were tossing and turning anyway
Don't blame it on the phone call
Where are you going?
Just go to sleep
Stop thinking about the groom, ok?
What are you talking about?
One look and I knew something was going on
Kiddo, I've been around
It was a long time ago
Cut it out
When are you coming back?
I'll come back if I survive
You must come back even if you're dead
How can I come back if I'm dead?
If I die, go find yourself another guy
Go back to sleep
I'm not sleeping tonight
I'll call you, we'll have breakfast
Have you seen the doctor?
Doctors are useless
They'll just tell me to quit drinking and smoking
If I could quit
I wouldn't need to see any doctors
The other night
I saw "Love is a Many-splendored Thing" on TV
I finally saw William Holden
Really?
I saw it too
I met him when he was filming in Hong Kong
I even skipped work
to visit him on the set.
Later, he took me to the Peninsula Hotel...
for dinner
It was my first time at the Peninsula
He was very good looking
Of course
When I was young, I was quite pretty too
I'll take you to the doctor
No
Just take Lucky out for a walk
Be careful
He has poor eyesight, He's old
How are you today?
Fine
Are you sure?
Yes
I'm going back to Thailand with Cabbage soon
She's home sick
Have you seen Li Qiao?
Yes
And?
Did you two...
She and Xiao-ting became good friends
You're kidding?
Li Qiao is really smart
Yes
How long has she been in Hong Kong?
As long as I have
Her boyfriend must be smart too
That's her husband
They told me he's only her boyfriend
Congratulations, you're a big boss now
Come on, it's no big deal
Just a small shareholder
Excuse me
Hong Kong people love speaking English
97 is just around the corner
Help yourself, have something to eat
Thank you
I don't want to gain weight
But you're so thin
She hasn't been dancing so she's afraid of gaining weight
You're a dancer? What kind?
Everything from ballet to Chinese dance
That's incredible
You can teach dancing in Hong Kong
But I don't know anyone
You should have told me
I'll introduce you
Just leave it to me
Xiao-ting, come here
May I borrow your wife for a second?
Let me introduce her to some friends
Come on, hurry up
Don't be long
Have some
Alright
I'm starving. Haven't eaten all day
Where's Pao
He should be here later
Excuse me
I'm sorry
I've moved
I was promoted to Head Chef
Good for you
Congratulations
I've moved
Me too
I know
You just told me
That's right
You finally became the person you always wanted to be
No one calls you China girl anymore
When I go to five star hotels, people address me in English
When I go shopping
the sales staff don't turn up their noses
Last month, I returned to my hometown to build a house
My old neighbors couldn't even recognize me
I told mom
I'm a Hongkonger at last
Still...
Mom didn't get to see the house
She died before it was finished
Have some more
You take it
I'm so hungry
How many years have you been dancing?
14 to 15 years
She taught dancing in Tianjin
She's very experienced
I've seen her dance, it was beautiful
Don't you think she's perfect?
Alright, start work next month
Step one, step two, step three, step four
This is delicious
You've never eaten at a McDonalds?
Xiao-jun used to write me
using McDonald's paper mats
But since I arrived,
he hates even the mention of McDonalds
With you here cooking home dishes
he doesn't need McDonalds
What are you laughing at?
I hear the Cantonese call women "dishes"
Doesn't "home dishes" means women at home
That's you
You don't even speak Cantonese
But you're picking up the slang
Did Xiao-jun teach you that?
He doesn't know any
He's too exhausted from work
He usually falls fast asleep
He doesn't say a word to me
He was very talkative in Tianjin
Every night
We would go for ride on our bicycle
I once asked him where his bicycle was
He said he got rid of it
Riding a bike in HK traffic is dangerous
That's what he said
Does it look good?
Yes
I think it looks better on you
Xiao-ting, what're you doing?
- A little gift from me - Come on, I can't accept it
It's yours, you should keep it
I'm sorry
In fact, I have one exactly the same
Really?
Yes
It was a gift from an old friend
This was a gift from Xiao-jun
I know
That's why you shouldn't give it away
But I wanted to give you something
You're so nice to me
Well
Can I treat you to dinner tonight?
Ok
I'm having dinner with Li Qiao tonight
I'll be home late
- I'm checking on the new stock - Yes
When is the grand opening?
I want to send you flowers
Order from my florist shop
Keep the business in the family
Wait
Let me have a look
$0 pretty
Did you take any wedding pictures?
Let's do it today. It's on the house
OK?
Happy? Come, pick one
You're so pretty
I'll put your picture in the window
It'll be great advertising
It's just ahead
I have to rehearse tonight
I'll probably be home late
I grab something to eat myself
Thank you
- Bye bye - Bye bye
There are noodles in the refrigerator
- Bye bye - Bye bye
Goodbye my love, this is the end
Goodbye my love, we may never meet again
I've given you all I have...
There's Teresa Tang
Thank you
Promise you won't disappoint me
Goodbye my love, this is the end
Goodbye my love, we must go our separate ways
My love for you will always remain
I hope you'll also never forget me
I'll always...
I got her autograph
Look at her fans
It's been awhile since we feel in love with her
I need to run some errands, can I drop you off here?
See you
We blew it
We really blew it
The room has been renovated
It's the same ceiling
And that...
The toilet is new
New carpet
What about the bed?
Remember this?
It was always here
This is our old bed
Nothing here was ours
Comrade Li Xiao-jun
What are we going to do?
We need to stop fooling ourselves
I'll go back and talk to Xiao-ting
What about me?
You need to make up your own mind
All I want is to wake up next to you each day
Here we are
Let me walk you to the door
I think it's better if talk to him alone
What's the matter?
Police, I would like to have a few words with you
If Au-yeung Pao contacts you
Remember to tell him that
he's not the one we want
If he is willing to serve as a witness
I guarantee there'll be no charges
Contact me
What's the matter?
Pao is in trouble
- I'm going up to check - Qiao
I'll be waiting
Pao: I'm leaving Hong Kong
Will call you when I arrive
Wing, I'd like to see Pao
Ms. Li, Boss doesn't want you to see him
I need to talk to him
Where did you arrange for him to board?
Wait for me, I'll be right back
Be careful
Pao
I told you not to come
Why did you come? Silly girl
Are you ok?
Just a trip to Taiwan, I'm used to it
The cops just want you to be a witness
It's a death sentence
Do they expect me to do that?
Pao, I have something to tell you
- Your Buddha - No wonder I felt weird
You've seen me, now go back
I worry about you
Come on
You were never so mushy before
Silly girl, listen to me
Go home now, take a hot bath
Wake up tomorrow and find yourself another guy
There are tons of men out there, better than me
Don't worry, I can manage
I have many wives in Taiwan
One in Kao Hsiung
One in Tai Chung
One in Hua Lian
Even one in Ali Shan
When did it all start?
A long, long time ago
Does she love you?
I don't know
Then, why did you marry me?
It was my dream
Come on, come with me
Pack up now
Let's go back to Tianjin right now
Come on, pack up now
Do you want to or not?
If you didn't come to Hong Kong
this would never have...
happened
Right?
But...
You came
And she came
In the end
I came too
Xiao-ting
We can't go back
Xiao-jun, you're my only relative in HK
If I die
This house and everything in it belongs to you
My most valuable possessions
are all in this trunk
The happiest day of my life...
William took me to dinner at the Peninsula
When he wasn't looking
I stole the cutlery we used
When I take them out now
it still makes me happy
Perhaps William has long forgotten about me
It doesn't matter as long as I remember
Besides, I'm old and ugly now
It's better that he doesn't see me like this
Xiao-ting
I'm going to work now
Just stay away from me
I'm trying to learn how to live alone
So, don't come over
Or you'll ruin my efforts
Xiao-ting
Be quick
I thought I'd never see you again
I'll come and visit you
Better make it quick
Cabbage has AIDS
Take care
You take care, too
Good bye
Bye bye
Xiao-ting, I have nothing to offer you
This money belongs to Rosie
All I want is for you to be happy
I'm leaving tomorrow
I'm scared. It's the first time I flown
I've never been a brave man
I dare not ask you to forgive me
I just think
We were together all those years
we went through a lot together...
Xiao-ting, it broke my heart too
I'm going to English class tonight
Remember to pick up the kids
- No problem - Ok
Free English tutor, you want to go?
When I arrived in HK, I took enough classes
You can learn it again
Some things in life you only need to learn once
What are you trying to say?
Just forget the past
Fate brings people together no matter how far
or...
a blind date?
You're full of crap
Go on a blind date
You're always cooking for others
Don't you want someone to cook for you
That girl is really nice
Turn off the stove for me please, thanks
Imperial Chicken
Your chicken, sir
It's funny
This place looks like Yaumatei from 30 years ago
Narrow streets crowded with people
The shops were tiny but you could buy anything there
All kinds of restaurants
When I was 11 or 12, I started working in Yaumatei
Who would have guessed...
I'd be back in the same dump decades later
This chicken is so good
Do you like it here?
It's the same everywhere
Two years, six towns
I can't run anymore
Why not unpack the boxes?
Better yet, buy some furniture
Set up an altar for worship
Have a baby
Babies are lot of trouble
All they do is cry and crawl around
On second thought, don't unpack the boxes yet
Let's find a bigger place
Ok, come on
Get the ball
Alright
You little rascals, come and eat now
OK, go wash your hands
Can't you go take care of her?
I am taking care of her
I'm cooking for her
Go over and talk to her
I don't even know her, I have nothing to say
I spent $30 to set you up with a nice lady
This is how you treat me
Yes, that how I am
Sausage
It's a little old but it has a big garden
$300,000 for that dump, it's a rip-off
Besides, we don't have that kind of money
- We'll just sell you to a brothel - Go ahead if you can bear it
Actually, I think
we should buy an apartment and rent it out
I've always dreamed of owning a house
with a garden
Kids running all over the place
- I've got to get the laundry - Go ahead
- Wait for me - Alright
Give me a cigarette
I just want to smoke in peace, leave me alone
Give me your cigarette
You bastard
Take it
Alright, it's alright
Ok, it's alright
Look, what a nice watch?
Grab it
Old man, give me your watch
Ok, What're you doing?
Stop it
Give me your watch
Don't you recognize him
Please turn him over
Miss Li Qiao, your visa has expired
According to United States Immigration Laws
You will be deported within 48 hours
You will be escorted to the airport
Step on it
This escort business is killing me
Tell me about it, this is my third run today
I've already deported two Mexicans
and an Indian family
Let's tell her to take the airport bus instead
At least, it gives her a fighting chance
America is a land of opportunity, right?
Go, go, go!
Li Xiao-jun
Mr. Li Kar-wai just received his green card
He is now a United States citizen
Let's give him a big round of applause
No problem...
I paid a lawyer, it should work this time
I booked tickets home
Yes, I'm coming back at last
Let's talk later, don't waste money
Dad, you get some rest
Yes, I know! Bye bye
We're nearing the Statue of Liberty
Where's Chinatown?
Over there, see it?
Soho, this side is Soho that's Little Italy
Then, Chinatown
Can you see our restaurant?
Yes, the one with a red roof
The green roof
Red
See the triangular roof? Just next to it
The one next to the building with a triangular roof
No
I've been on the roof, it's red
I'm sure of it
Come on, stop arguing
In a few years, I'll open...
a Chinese restaurant on top of the Empire State Building
We'll name it "Top of the world"
We'll be able to see it from anywhere in Manhattan?
Ready...
Hurry
Ready, look at the camera
Everyone say cheese! OK
Ms. Li, how long will we stay at the State of Liberty?
I need to buy some Gucci bags
No rush, just take some pictures first
I'll take you shopping later, ok?
Great
People say you come from Guangzhou
Yes, I left China ten years ago
How long since you've been back?
I'm going back next month
Right... people used to want to leave in the 80's
Now, they all want to go back
Many Hong Kong people now work on the Mainland
Yes, most people regret ever leaving
There are lots of opportunities to make money in China
Yes
It's the peak season
You didn't book early enough, so there's nothing left
Ok, call me tomorrow morning
What a hassle
Your ticket is booked
You have your green card too
You can go home now
Is Mr. Chan's ticket ready?
He called many times
Enjoy yourself
Yes
