Next time I'll teach you how to make Queen Mary.
Okay?
No.
That one is difficult to make.
It is the largest ship museum in the world.
But it's haunted, sister said.
Okay. It's almost done. Repair the sail.
Pull it slowly and gently.
Can you hook it? Hook it back there.
-I can't. -No, not now.
Pull it a little more.
-Yes, here... -Yes, it works.
The invincible Ye Lan is launched!
Take off!
THE CLEAR BLUE SHOP
Hey, the Pooh Bear bra we saw last time
on the internet...
Should I order it for you?
No.
No?
How about... the one with hearts?
That one is cute.
That one is childish.
How is it childish?
Then you tell me, what do you like?
Is there any kind...
that can make my breasts
look really... flat,
and invisible?
Happy birthday to you.
I heard that your dad's going to take you to the Ferris wheel.
Yeah, and he said he'd let me ride three times in a row.
What's so great about it?
It is great!
...first discovered it?
Has there been any unusual behavior recently?
Did he have any arguments with others?
No.
Auntie.
What happened?
Where is dad?
Where did dad go?
Your dad died.
No way. He was fine this morning.
Your dad died of a heart attack.
Don't go.
Why not?
Just don't look.
Why can't I see my dad?
Because there is nothing worth seeing...
Why can't I see my dad?
Just don't look!
Why do you ask so many questions?
YE WENLI'S MEMORIAL TABLET
YE LAN
Didn't I asked you to arrange your dad's tableware?
Isn't this clock still working fine?
It's running slow.
It's only five minutes slower.
Just adjust it correctly.
The battery is probably running out.
Let me tell you.
Each tick of the second hand
is like the heartbeat of a clock.
If the heartbeat of the clock is not right,
it means the clock is sick.
Come, listen to it.
Aren't they like the footsteps of time?
I'll take you out every Wednesday afternoon.
What do you think?
Only me?
Don't trick me.
Do you know how your dad died?
He committed suicide.
What?
He killed himself.
Bullshit! My dad died of heart disease.
Not heart disease! He hanged himself!
Shut up! I told you to shut up! Did you hear me?
Shut up!
What's up?
-I told you to shut up! -Come on!
Stop fighting!
What are you doing? Why so noisy?
Teacher, help! Ye Lan hit me!
Why did you hit him?
Heyen also hit him.
Teacher, he was the one started it.
I was trying to protect myself.
Ye Lan, why did you hit him?
Why did he hit you?
I don't know. Who knows?
Yeah.
In any case, hitting someone is not right.
Stay to clean the toilet after school. Did you hear me?
You are back.
Go wash your hands.
There's fruit on the dinner table.
What's wrong? Didn't I ask you to wash your hands?
Mom...
How did dad die?
Didn't I tell you?
But... my classmate said...
Mom...
Didn't I ask you to wash your hands? What are you waiting for?
Go wash your hands! How many times do I have to repeat it?
Hey, your clothes.
Put them back in your room. Don't always leave them in the living room
for me to organize.
What's up? You got in trouble at school again?
No.
No?
I know you have problems when I see you.
Sis... how did dad die?
Was it really because of heart disease?
Did you finish your homework?
But Heyen said...
Do you buy his bullshit?
Go do your homework.
The fever is gone.
Your mom said you should drink more water after the fever. Here.
Dad, did you drink?
I couldn't sleep. Drinking helps me fall asleep.
TAIWAN FANTASY AWARD
Taiwan Fantasy...
Don't look!
Is it the Mermaid No. Nine you are writing?
Can you let me read it when it's finished?
No.
Why not?
Maybe after I read it,
I can give you some advice,
and help you win your first competition.
Hsiao Yeh said,
"Failure is more meaningful than success."
WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT LIFE
Did Hsiao Yeh say
you should listen to your dad?
Don't make fun of me after reading.
And don't show it to Ye Lan.
Yes, great writer.
How many times did I tell you?
Don't be Xiaowei's guarantor. You just didn't listen.
Now something went wrong, what can we do?
You have your principles and didn't accept your sister's money.
You even said two million couldn't help.
I asked you to borrow money from Stephen. You wouldn't do it.
You took the kids to fly a kite instead.
How about...
selling valuable things in your store?
Like that antique diving suit.
It's a diving bell.
It's not for sale.
I'll need it when I open a museum.
Do you have any mail for us?
A package for Ye Lan.
Dad sent this?
What's this?
The second hand has stopped.
It seems broken.
Why did dad send this to me?
MY LITTLE SON: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. DADDY LOVES YOU
I want to go out to play. I don't want to go to a museum.
You broke your promise!
Didn't you say you will take me out every Wednesday?
Visiting Te Yang museum ship counts too.
It is a real warship,
like Queen Mary. It will be fun.
It won't be fun. I want to ride the Ferris wheel.
Let me tell you. In De Yang ship museum,
there are many model boats like yours.
They are more delicate than your Ye Lan ship.
You will like them.
Yeah, right. Other boats are more beautiful. Mine is the ugliest!
‎You were the person teaching me ‎how to make it.
I better throw away this ugly boat!
I hate you, dad!
I want to ride the Ferris wheel.
Of course you can't.
That's cheating.
But if my score is lower than 80, I'll be beaten by the teacher.
What I said is right. Trust me.
Hey, someone took a peek at the textbook today
and got caught by the teacher.
The teacher said if you cheat as a child, you'll go to jail when you grow up.
My mom said people who kill themselves go to hell.
That's scary!
-Take a photo together. One, two, three. -One more...
‎-Wow. ‎-So sweet. An enviable couple!
‎Get closer...
Okay. One, two, three.
Hello? Teacher Zhou?
CATHOLIC CHURCH
If you have any worries, you can tell him.
Who are they?
Jesus and His Mother, the Virgin Mary.
What about Jesus's father?
Where did he go?
He's in heaven.
People will go to heaven after they die,
not to hell, right?
It depends.
Then... Where would my father go?
I don't know.
But I believe that Jesus knows.
Can you ask Jesus to tell me?
He will tell you.
As long as you listen carefully,
you will hear his answer.
You skipped classes all day Where did you go?
Cheating on the exam was your fault.
Being punished was how it should be.
What do you protest against?
Why did you skip classes?
Didn't mom and dad teach you
not to cheat... and not to lie?
Didn't we?
So you didn't lie?
So dad didn't lie?
My sister didn't lie?
My auntie didn't lie?
Did you?
Did they?
You are all lying!
You are all lying to me!
You two were together everyday.
Were you not aware of any signs?
Did you two fight on that day?
I am asking you. Did you fight on that day?
Enough, sis...
Can someone tell me,
is this the same?
One, two, three.
-Okay. You tell me. -Same.
It's the same. Why?
Because this is just upside down.
It's upside down.
So actually four plus three
and three plus four
both equal seven, right?
Okay.
Next page.
Can someone tell me...
Sorry, I can't fix it.
HUIYING: THIS IS THE FIRST BIRTHDAY GIFT YOU GAVE ME
THESE ARE THE LETTERS YOU WROTE TO ME WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
HUIYING: PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I KNOW YOU'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR KIDS.
Hey, come eat.
Did you listen to music the whole day again?
Yeah.
Why do you only stay home during the summer vacation?
Why don't you hang out with Kong Longzhi.
It's not fun.
Did mom say when she'll be back tonight?
11 o'clock. She asked us to take a shower and sleep.
Okay.
Please tell mom,
I won't join the graduation trip after the semester starts.
Also, next semester, I won't attend the English course either.
Why not?
Just tell mom I'm not interested.
Mom won't approve.
Do you know how much the graduation trip costs?
Do you know how expensive the English course is?
Mom has to take a part-time job at a hotel during the weekends.
Do you want her die from overwork?
Just tell her I'll not attend the course.
Did mom go to work?
What kind of question is that? Do you know what time is it?
Hey, mom said we'll celebrate your birthday next week.
Please don't.
Why not?
Mom said she's already arranged it.
Our younger auntie will come too.
I don't want it.
Then you tell mom in person.
Why ask me to communicate everything for you?
Why don't you talk to mom?
Cool!
Hey, let's go. Let's play.
Come on! Accompany me.
Your younger auntie bought beautiful shoes for you.
Did you thank her?
Yes.
Good. Sleep now.
Mom...
What?
Why doesn't the auntie on dad's side visit us anymore?
She used to come here often.
She always celebrated
our birthdays with us.
She is very busy now.
Wasn't it also nice that my sister celebrated your sister's birthday?
She came all the way here from Taipei
and bought such beautiful shoes for you.
It's late. Sleep.
Sis...
Yes?
Do you still remember the favid-head next door
when we were little?
Of course.
He liked making fun of we three sisters' different surnames.
And he liked talking with your accent.
I hated that the most.
And then you fought with him
and went home with a badly beaten face.
Have you thought of visiting your dad in Singapore ?
Why would I visit him?
He was the one having an affair and abandoning us.
Do you believe it?
Until I was 13 and moved to Taiwan with my mom,
he never celebrated my birthday.
Not even one time?
Not even one time.
No wonder you value your child’s birthday so much.
Actually, there is one thing
I don't know how to tell you.
When I came home today,
I heard Ye Lan asking Ye Cheng,
why she was the only one
who didn't receive a gift from her dad?
Of course Ye Cheng replied,
"It's none of your business. Who cares?"
But I could tell
she was very sad.
I always feel... your family
is still living in the shadow of your husband.
Do you really think he wants you to live like this?
Sis,
that night,
I had a big fight with him.
And then
I didn't talk to him for a week.
Until that day...
I went to buy something
spontaneously after work,
so I was home one hour later than usual.
If I came home immediately
on that day,
I could have saved him.
I could have saved him...
Don't think this way.
It's not your fault.
Every morning when I wake up
and see his pillow,
I wish
he was the one alive,
not me.
Sis, stop talking nonsense.
You have to consider your two kids.
They both need you.
If it wasn't for these two kids,
I would have gone with him.
You are stressed about your mortgage.
Why don't you sell it?
He is thin-skinned,
so he wouldn't let it go.
He wouldn't accept the shop being foreclosed.
So many people are unemployed now.
It's normal if you can't find a job.
Why do you think it's shameful?
Luckily,
the law was modified.
You don't have to pay off his debts.
Otherwise, how many lifetimes would you need to pay them off?
I can't believe it’s been almost a year.
Time flies.
When my older brother was young, he was a lifeguard
who saved many lives.
He almost lost his life several times.
My older sister and I thought
he survived many times, so he was blessed.
We didn't know...
Sister-in-law, our money is very tight.
We can only lend you this much.
Thank you.
50 million...
How do we get 50 million to return to the bank?
Can drinking everyday
solve the problem?
What about our kids' future?
Should they make money for a lifetime to pay off your debts?
You can't even keep your shop.
Are you still dreaming of opening a museum?
You're still drinking?
That's your dad’s tableware.
Why did you put it back?
Put it back!
Put it back! Did you hear me?
What's the point of arranging his tableware?
You think you can bring him back like this?
I saw everything.
If you didn't fight with him that night
and say those words,
would he have died?
It's you...
Why is he dead, not you?
Why?
Oh.
I forgot to bring your brother’s birthday cake.
It's your favorite chestnut cake.
Keep eating.
I'll go get his cake. Be right back.
Hello?
Yes, I am her daughter.
It's impossible.
She wouldn't jump off to commit suicide!
She is not dead!
Mom...
Mom! Please don't die...
Mom...
He is here...
Let's go.
Your dad died like this.
Your dad...
This is too much!
Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
Why are you doing this to me?
It's not fair!
I hate you!
Why?
Why are you doing this to me?
Did I bully you?
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do?
Go wash your face.
Come to my office after school.
Do you know what your dad sent you?
It's not a normal clock.
It is used for navigation, a marine chronometer.
The English word here is its brand.
Johannssen.
2356 is its serial number.
The second-hand moves one step every half second.
It's very accurate.
There used to be a marine chronometer on every ship
to help the ship navigate.
But after satellite navigation was invented,
they were gradually replaced.
Teacher, how do you know that?
I studied in the Department of Navigation.
After graduating, I sailed for two years.
So these things on ships
are quite familiar to me.
So this marine chronometer...
Teacher, who is that?
That's my dad and me.
When I was in the first grade of junior high school,
he died in a car accident.
I couldn't believe he really died.
Every day when I was chanting for him with my mom,
I felt as if I was dreaming.
No matter what difficulties you encounter
or if you have questions,
you can always come to me. Okay?
But you still need to clean the toilet for fighting with your classmates.
You can go now.
Teacher,
can I ask you
a favour?
Sorry, nobody here
can fix this thing anymore.
Yes, it's a marine chronometer.
It's a wooden box,
and there is a level in the middle.
Excuse me. It's Teacher Zhou here.
Yes, I'd like to ask you about the marine chronometer.
Oh... Nobody can fix it?
Excuse me.
Hey, you told me that your father knows about...
the chronometer.
He passed away?
Okay... Then...
When will he be back in Taiwan?
Thank you.
Yes, I've already asked Shengfa Clock Store.
Then Master Chen told me
nobody knows how to fix it now.
Model?
The model is 2356.
Yes...
Yes.
Johannssen.
Johannssen, wooden casing.
SECRETARY LI
Sis! Look!
Sis!
Dad sent this.
Open it!
Every morning...
before I went to school,
I would say goodbye to dad...
except that day.
I knew he was unhappy,
but I didn't say goodbye to him
before I went to school.
If I talked to him,
he probably wouldn't have died.
I wish I talked to him.
When I got back from school,
it was too late.
No matter what I said,
he couldn't hear it anymore.
It's not your fault.
But he can't hear what I say anymore.
It's too late...
He can't hear what I say anymore...
FOR YE CHENG, FROM DAD
Ye Cheng. Hi, I am Hsiao Yeh.
Your dad wrote to me and told me you like writing.
And that you're my biggest fan.
He hoped I could encourage you.
Actually, you're the person encouraging me.
Because I've been writing for 40 years,
I thought my readers
were only senior adults.
Having a young fan like you
is really an encouragement for me.
Your dad told me he was very ill
and he probably couldn't attend your graduation.
He wanted me to make a video to encourage you
as a graduation gift from him.
I was moved,
so I sent this video to him.
He also said
he wanted to read your novel,
and he wanted to know the ending of Mermaid No. Nine,
so you must finish it.
Do not give up. Okay?
This is the photo your dad sent to me.
He said:
"Dad loves you. Keep going."
"Grow up happily."
Hurry up!
Or we'll miss the train.
Hey!
The phone number of Secretary Li.
Mom.
Goodbye.
Come. We are almost late.
Let's go...
That's Queen Mary.
She was a luxury cruise ship.
During WWII, she was converted into a troopship.
Now she is 80 years old.
I know. She is now in a museum in California.
How did you know?
My dad told me.
How did your dad know?
When I was little, my dad gave me a little ship.
Every time he gave me a bath,
he liked to create waves for the ship.
Like this.
Do not hesitate to sit down.
Actually I don't know how to fix the chronometer.
But Secretary Li said...
My father knows.
My father is a marine antiques expert.
But...
he hasn't talked to me for nearly one year.
My parents and my sister used to live in the U.S.
After my mom passed away three years ago,
I brought my dad back to Taiwan.
I thought it would be easier to take care of him.
Unexpectedly, after returning to Taiwan,
he has been trying to find a person.
A person he doesn't even know the name of.
I asked him why. He wouldn't tell me.
I couldn't find that person, so he said I was useless.
He hasn't talked to me since then.
It is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Where can I find a person without a name?
The only clue is Johannssen,
No. 2356 marine chronometer.
The person he is looking for is the person who owns this chronometer.
Dad, I've some friends here who want to see you.
Dad.
Wait a minute.
This is possession of my deceased husband. Have you seen it?
How did he die?
He had a heart attack.
I've been looking for him for years.
I've been wanting to see him.
I didn't expect...
Actually,
this chronometer was a gift I gave to your dad.
I took NT$10 from him symbolically.
And I told him specifically
not to sell it,
so he could take it as the treasure of his museum.
Because it was the chronometer
from the first ship I remodeled.
Ten years ago,
I traveled from the US to Taiwan often
to see my son and go fishing.
I didn't expect that one time I went fishing
after a typhoon struck,
I would be swallowed by a wave.
My head hit the reef.
The strange thing is,
when I almost went into a coma,
I remembered I saw the peaceful ocean.
It was like heaven.
Beautiful and peaceful ocean.
Everyone says
we will have fast flashbacks of our life before we die.
But on that day,
when I was totally exhausted,
I only saw my kids.
I saw them call me "Dad" the first time,
walk the first time,
ride a bike the first time,
play the piano on stage the first time,
join the soccer game the first time.
When I almost gave up,
your dad fearlessly
jumped into the ocean to save me.
I saw him often when I went fishing,
but I only knew his name was Ye.
I thought a lot after I went home that day.
I didn't know how to thank him.
I only knew that he liked everything related to ships,
so I gave him this antique
to show my appreciation.
I will never forget
how your dad bravely saved me in the ocean.
My dad committed suicide.
I had a fight with my dad on that day.
I was angry.
I kept saying I hated him.
I even threw the boat he taught me to make
on the floor.
It broke.
Next day when I came home,
my dad had died.
Do you think
your dad died because you said those words?
Do you?
I have to tell you,
when an adult ends his life,
there must be other reasons.
Not because you argued with him.
Look,
your dad sent this chronometer to you,
so he must have loved you.
But he promised to take me out every Wednesday.
Didn't he promise me?
Why did he suddenly die?
Pardon?
What did you say?
I didn't apologize to him.
I haven't apologized to him yet.
Dad... I'm sorry...
Dad...
Sorry for disturbing your whole day.
You even gave the Queen Mary to my son.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
My dad is finally talking to me.
I think
he doesn't want your son to leave.
Keep it safe.
This is the best gift your dad gave you.
Thank you.
Grandpa Wang...
I have a question.
Will people who committed suicide go to hell?
Let me tell you.
I'm no more eligible to go to heaven
than your dad.
Actually,
there are not many people I know
who are more eligible than your dad.
If people say your dad would be in hell,
you can tell them,
nobody in the world
is eligible to judge where
others will go after death.
Nobody is perfect.
No matter how others describe your dad,
I will pray for him.
Because without him,
there would be no me today.
Son, hurry up! It's time to eat.
Put your dad's tableware away.
Let me tell you,
this morning when I came to school,
I saw Heyen's dad run out of his home,
dragged Heyen out of the car and beat him.
His mom wanted to save him,
but also got beaten by his dad.
It was so scary.
Luckily, Heyen ran fast,
otherwise, he would be beaten to death by his dad.
That's why he didn't come to school this morning.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
-Is it fixed? -Yes.
DAD, I WANT TO KNOW, WHERE A PERSON WILL GO AFTER DEATH.
Dad,
I want to ask you,
do you still feel pain now?
Although I now understand
it wasn't my fault that you chose to leave,
I don't know why
I still get mad sometimes.
At myself,
at mom,
and at you.
I don't know who can understand me?
Daughter, hurry!
You're almost late for school.
Dad,
I finally finished my novel.
Do you like it?
Dad, I really want to know,
where will a person go after death?
Why did you leave me?
Was it because I didn't behave?
Do you miss me?
Did you come back to visit me?
I miss you, dad.
Thank you for teaching me swimming.
Thank you for teaching me to ride a bike.
Thank you for sending me such a special chronometer.
MERMAID NO. NINE
Dad, do you know,
Kong Longzhi and the other guys don't play with me anymore.
Auntie doesn't come to our home anymore.
Do you know,
I wish you could accompany me when I grow up.
I am sorry...
I try hard not to cry,
but teacher Zhou said
it's brave for a boy to cry.
Is that true?
Dad, I love you.
I'll remember you forever.
