-Hi. -Hi.
My name is Zhang Shengmei from Hualien and I'm a Pisces.
My dream is to become a model.
Are you all grown up?
Big enough, 36D!
Hi, my name is Zhuang Mengmeng.
My talent is that
I can swallow my fist.
So what is your talent?
I will be performing how dinosaurs exercise.
First of all, baseball.
Basketball.
Billiards.
Rope skipping.
My name is Zhuang Shuhao.
My mom's really good at cooking.
That's your mom's talent, not yours.
I'm in charge
of killing the chicken.
So, other than soccer, what else can you guys do?
Sir, we also play baseball.
Anything else? Other than sports?
Sir, we know how to hunt.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, Principal.
Ten days ago, October 2007, Fall
I would like to introduce you to our new head of activities.
This teacher is amazing.
He is very talented.
He came from Taipei.
Please help me welcome Mr. Xing to the stage.
Hello, everyone. My name is Xing Zhiyuan.
I'm very happy to be here at Zheng Yang High School.
The fresh air here in Hualien is really nice.
The weather is lovely, and the environment is great.
When I received the offer letter, I've been looking forward to this.
There was this joke.
One day, the teacher asked the students in his class,
what do you like about me?
All the students answered at the same time,
"We like you most when you are far away from us."
Funny, right?
Well, that joke is my life.
I am far away from the education system.
This is my sixth year as a temporary teacher,
and my theme this year is
"Wandering to Hualien."
It was not a bold act,
it's merely because
all the teaching positions were filled in Taipei.
They don't want me there.
Dear students,
I just want to know
whether your opportunity
can become my opportunity.
There was this joke
when I received the offer letter.
There was once a couple on a train.
The train passed through a long tunnel.
And the boy blushed while he said,
"If I had known beforehand that the tunnel would be so long,
I would have kissed you."
The girl gasped and said,
"What?"
"The one who gave me a kiss just now wasn't you?"
Well, that joke
is my life.
I'm stuck in this dark tunnel,
not knowing who kissed who.
Yu Jing.
Don't come any closer!
Stop right there!
Hualien Zheng Yang High School
Due to the continuous decline of the birth rate in Taiwan,
temporary teachers face another hardship.
Education professors at the National Normal University advise
temporary teachers to set a five-to-seven-year stop-loss point
before considering a switch in the profession.
Hey, what did you think of the new teacher?
A moron,
full of crap.
Only people from Taipei talk like that.
Hi, Mr. Xing.
My talent is my perfect body.
Here, Mr. Xing.
Do you want to check it out?
-Man, you're on fire today. -Stop!
Awesome.
How are you doing so well today?
That was great.
Hey, where are you going?
What is wrong, man? I haven't even gotten one hit today.
Maybe next time,
I'm going home for dinner.
-Bye. -Bye.
Who are you looking for?
Hi! I saw an Internet ad
that says this place is for rent?
Yes. Feel free to walk around.
My cousin's child gave up on the piano and they were about to throw it away.
I picked it up and put it here.
You don't mind, right?
It's okay.
Just leave it here.
Love is endurance and kindness
Love is not jealousy
By the looks of your outfit,
you're from Taipei, aren't you?
How much would you charge for rent?
How about 8,000 a month?
8,000?
That cheap?
Expensive? How about 6,000 then?
It's okay, you're safe here.
You're safe here.
The floor must be mopped, clothes must be clean,
even the cleaning supplies need to be clean.
That's who I am.
This is pre-marriage therapy,
so I advise you two to open your hearts
and say what you think about each other.
That's why I want to know all the details,
all those dirty details.
I said,
"I'm sorry,"
what more do you want?
How did you get to know that girl?
When did you guys sleep together?
Start from the very beginning.
Come on, that's in the past now, stop making such a big fuss about it.
No! It's not in the past yet!
I won't let go unless you tell me everything.
She's a client from work,
we only met each other a few weeks ago.
She tempted you first?
Not exactly.
Back then,
we took a liking to each other
when we met for the first time.
How many times?
-What? -You know what I am asking.
How many times did you two sleep together?
-Is this important? -It's important to me.
Please tell me the truth!
Maybe...
Around twenty times?
What's the problem with you?
Well, what number would you like to hear then?
The two of them only met a few weeks ago,
but yet this number seems extremely high.
What do you think, ma'am?
I was lonely.
Is it my fault then? Is it my fault you felt lonely?
Can you not be so dirty? You're just like a dog!
It's this attitude.
I'm trying to forgive you.
We are trying to find a way to forgive you.
Perhaps we should put our focus back onto the basis of marriage.
The basis of marriage is mutual trust...
You don't have to forgive me.
I don't need your forgiveness.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone like you.
Electricity outage again?
Gosh.
Who is it?
The neighbor, from next door.
Do you...
Do you want a candle?
Did you just move in here?
Thank you, good night.
What do you want now?
Zheng Yang High School
Hello.
Private piano lesson
-An omelet, please. -Okay.
Thank you.
Welcome to the first season of One Million Star.
As usual,
here is the good news.
We are in the countryside
with just a few students.
We lack the resources as well.
It must be hard on you.
You're being too kind.
Mr. Xing is young and very potential.
Thank you.
What year did you graduate from the teacher's college?
Are you by chance the principal's junior?
I graduated from the National Taiwan Normal University.
Then I got my teacher certification in Taipei,
and I taught at various locations.
To be honest,
I studied education about 40 years ago.
Times are different now.
If you have any new ideas,
feel free to mention them.
Our school will definitely cooperate.
Sure.
Principal,
I have a wild idea
that I would like to ask for your opinions about it.
Over the past few years, the internet has grown
to become one of the greatest tools.
I propose that we showcase talented people.
It may very well be a great chance for small-town schools
like ours to get attention.
Romeo, O, Romeo,
wherefore art thou Romeo?
Dear Juliet.
What's in a name?
That which we call a rose.
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Stop, can we stop, please?
Thank you for your performance.
It was very special.
Juliet, Romeo
Yes!
If I was to ask you
who is the most popular person in school,
who would you say?
You want to ask about Dong?
Speaking of Lee Dongshuo,
I think he is more of a lonely prince type.
And me?
I am more of a wild and unruly kind,
always giving others the feeling of...
Mr. Xing, Dong is a senior year student in class one.
His solo during his freshman year...
Hi.
It's you again!
This bracelet
is my grandma's.
I'm going to get it back one day.
I'm just giving it to you to keep it for a while.
If you still want it then don't take it to a pawnshop.
This place is not a locker, you know.
Grandma, it's time to eat!
I heard you're really good at singing.
Do you like it?
-I don't want to be famous. -What do you want then?
Do you know Jolin Tsai?
She entered the singing competition hosted by MTV,
and she took the champion.
There's no doubt she had the talent and she worked hard for it,
but what makes her special?
She sees a chance to get on the stage and she grabs it.
Fine, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
What difference would it make?
If I tell your grandma that you stole something from her,
you might change your mind, right?
It's hard to succeed in a small town like this.
If you don't want to do it right now,
by the time you want to do it,
you may not get the chance to do so.
Deal?
Come to the faculty room tomorrow.
Let's see what kind of training is right for you.
-Hello, Mr. Xing. -Hi.
Bye.
Did you make up your mind?
Yes.
But I will accept it under one condition.
-One condition? -Yes.
A band. I feel like a band would be better.
These guys?
Yes, these guys are my friends, and they have guts.
They know how to play musical instruments.
I know how to play the cello.
I met you before.
You were the one who could kill the chicken.
I know how to dance, sir.
Moving around doesn't count as dancing.
Sir, I know how to hit.
You know how to hit a baseball.
Mr. Xing.
I know how to play the piano.
Sir, they are the best performers in our school.
Without them, I don't think I can perform well.
Dear,
we are "the only choice" for you!
Three, two, one.
-Hello, everyone! -Hello, everyone!
-We are the Mayday from Hualien. -We are the Mayday from Hualien.
Are you sure you want to use the name of a band
that already debuted?
What should we call ourselves then?
You guys...
You guys are more like a bunch of ghosts in Ghost Month.
Just to make it clear to you, I don't want classical music.
I want the modern kind.
The kind of music that will go viral.
Are you sure I can take these lessons for free?
My grandma told me that everyone from Taipei is a liar.
Man, you live in such a big apartment all by yourself?
Do we practice here from now on?
You cooked noodles?
Why don't we eat a little before we start our lesson?
Stop!
You have one minute to explain what you guys are doing here
before I call the police.
I thought you talked to her about it?
I thought you said you were going to call her?
You live right next to her! Can you show me some initiative?
I'm busy okay, unlike a certain someone.
It's already been a minute.
And put down my noodles.
We are good people.
We're here because we saw your poster,
and we want to learn music.
I'm the activities coordinator at Zheng Yang High School,
and he is my student.
Hey.
Sing something to show us your vocal talents.
Wash the dishes after you finish the noodles.
Do you accept groups of students?
In my heart, I feel how much seriousness there is in life
I don't dare touch it
I'm not a good person, but I'm also not a bad person
I'm just someone who loves to dream
I'm not willing to float with the tide
Like a drifting boat that cannot find a harbor
I don't want to be a devious opportunist
I'd rather be a fool
One for each of you.
It's not that my head is empty
It's not that I'm useless
People, oh!
A lifetime is so long
How can we happily pass the years?
I have my road
I have my dreams
Is it possible the world
Of my dreams is just an illusion?
On the road that I've traveled, I only have hope
Hope that all we've talked about is in our hearts
Believing one day it will all come true
It's not that my head is empty
It's not that I'm useless
People, oh!
A lifetime is so long
How can we happily pass the years?
On the road that I've traveled, I only have hope
Is it possible the world
Of my dreams is just an illusion?
On the road that I've traveled, I only have hope
Hope that all we've talked about is in our hearts
Believing one day
It will all come true
It had been just two months,
and the weather was still warm in fall.
Due to the intensive training,
those kids who were not highly regarded
started to change.
So did I.
Who would have thought of this?
The elimination in Taipei
became a repechage
in Hualien.
Where are you headed?
I just wanted to go on a walk outside.
You know, it may be safe here.
But it's dangerous for you since you're from Taipei.
But...
Won't I be too heavy?
It's okay.
My grandma's heavier than I am, but I can still carry her.
Just think of it as your lucky day.
Let me take you somewhere.
Let's go!
Ms. Yu,
why did you come to Hualien?
I don't know.
Why don't you have a boyfriend?
Then why don't you have a girlfriend?
I'll have one eventually.
There is this girl that I like,
and I just need to find time to tell her about it.
Congratulations.
How about you?
Do you have someone you like?
Do you plan on telling him?
I don't know.
Maybe you like
a certain teacher with big dreams?
Like who?
You know who I am talking about.
I don't know.
How can you be a teacher when you don't know anything?
I don't know.
Ms. Yu.
You tell me your secrets,
and I'll tell you mine.
To be honest,
it's no surprise he left me.
Who?
My boyfriend.
You wanted to know about my boyfriend, right?
Why?
Maybe...
It's because she's much prettier than I am.
Her personality must be better too.
On top of that, dating me
is like the compulsory education you have to take.
It's boring.
What's so funny?
No.
It's just that I can't imagine
a girl prettier than you.
Hey, maybe it's because you're too young,
and you haven't seen that many pretty girls.
Listen to this.
Hey! It's me.
Come back to Taipei.
Your mom told me to talk to you.
How long do you plan on hiding away in the countryside?
Can we talk?
Even though we can't be lovers anymore, we can still be friends.
You tell this guy,
you've got new friends now.
You don't need any new "friends."
The rain stopped.
Take a look at this.
I came across them in school.
They were hurt then. I took care of them for a while,
but let's see if we can make them fly today.
Hey, thank you for being my new friend.
We, Hualien people, are really friendly.
Please do promote this when you are back in Taipei.
Turn to page three.
Look at the first example.
The first question,
divide the number by 40 over 13.
How do we solve this question?
We can divide 40 by 13 first.
The most important battle will start now.
Everyone, the Black Spider team will have their leader,
King of Black Spider,
Jam Hsiao, for this run.
Who do you want to challenge today?
Ms. Yu.
Hi.
Why haven't I seen you in a while?
By the way,
the Chopin CD that you asked for,
that one with the little dog...
Chopin's Waltz series.
Yes. I managed to get one for you.
Give me a second, let me find it.
Thank you.
It's weird.
Please give me a second, I definitely have it with me.
Okay.
Well...
Even though I can't find the CD,
I have two tickets to Ocean Park.
Would you be willing to go with me?
Ever since you moved here,
I can't take my eyes off you.
I...
What a coincidence!
I want to go.
I'll buy them from you.
Thank you!
Let's go.
Thank you.
What if we get caught staying here?
This is how you're supposed to make the most of Ocean Park.
This is the first time
I've done something bad like this.
This is the first time I've had a girl tell me
that I'm already doing something bad,
even though I haven't done anything bad yet.
Hey, why did you become a teacher?
They asked me the same thing
during the interview.
Did you answer it well?
I memorized the textbook answers,
like I want to develop the most talented student,
want to learn and grow with them.
And that got me here,
lying with the fish.
I want to be a teacher
to make the kids in the world grow up freely.
Unlike me,
growing up under people's expectations,
afraid to ask questions that I didn't know,
and afraid to imagine things without confirmation.
One day,
I will be seen not just by these fishes.
I'll leave this place
because I know this is not the end.
You always seem to know what you want to do.
You have a dream and a direction.
I want to be you.
You can't be me.
Why?
No particular reason.
We're happy here.
Let's not think about the things in the past.
I can't tell why I become very proactive
If you love someone
Everything becomes worthwhile doing
I want to announce I can't leave without you
Even my neighbors can guess what I am thinking now
Hey! Wait.
Dong sings faster and faster,
and the drums get slower and slower.
That's not okay! One more time.
Ms. Yu, my hands are so tired.
We practice it, again and again, I am dying.
Let me show you what dying feels like.
Sir, stop.
She said no!
Hurry up! Let's run this again.
You have to have sportsmanship for everything you do.
Why would you need sportsmanship to be a musician?
In what universe are you a musician?
Go on!
Toughest Demon! Sai Luolin
-Hello, everyone. We are N, o, o, v, y. -We are N, o, o, v, y.
-Noovy. -Noovy.
The competition is reaching its climax.
Have you voted for your favorite team yet?
Yes, I want to know how to participate in the competition.
Okay, wait a moment.
Okay, do tell.
Okay.
I see. Thank you, bye.
Yes!
They said that we should upload a video introducing ourselves,
and we have a month to prepare.
Are we rushing into this? Is there enough time to prepare?
Let's start practicing!
Why is there one missing?
No idea.
Late again.
Prince Charming, are you up?
How many times do you plan on being late?
Can you quiet down?
My grandma is sleeping!
Stop sleeping, ma'am!
Your grandson's about to become famous!
Wait,
where's your guitar?
I forgot.
Lee Dongshuo.
You can skip practice today.
Go back to sleep with your grandma.
Who's that?
Our new vocalist
and you are?
Hi,
my name is Wang Shizhe, I am the vocalist from the live band
of Xiu Feng High School.
I asked the program producers on the phone yesterday.
Turns out, you don't all need to be from the same school
to enter the competition as a group.
Everyone,
what do you think this means?
A better choice means a better chance of succeeding.
We don't have to ask too much from each other right now.
Why don't we have both of them try,
and then we decide?
What do we need to decide?
Some decide to be the audience forever,
some like him will never be able to go on stage.
Sir, I can take on the challenge anytime.
Great!
I'll do my best.
At least give him a chance.
If it's not for Ms. Yu,
I won't give you a second chance.
If you can get the biggest applause on stage at the Christmas Festival,
I'll think about putting you back on the team.
But if it doesn't go as planned,
then that will be the last stage you perform on.
Now you don't owe me anything, and I owe you nothing.
Ms. Yu.
Do you think
I can succeed?
What do you mean when you say "succeed"?
Mr. Xing told me
that if I perform well,
then he'll give me a second chance.
If I manage to seize this chance,
I guess that means I succeed.
As Mr. Xing said,
we have to participate in the competition and win.
We have to grab the attention of the audience on the internet,
and you call this "succeed"?
I don't want you to work hard for a goal
that someone else set for you.
You're great at singing,
but you also can say no to it.
I don't want you to pay too much of a price to understand this idea.
People should reserve some time
for themselves in their life.
Ms. Yu.
Didn't we promise each other last time
that you'll tell me your secret,
and I'll tell you mine?
You have a secret you can't tell?
Hey,
are you...
Are you seeing someone?
Are you seeing someone then?
I'm not.
I'm not seeing anyone right now.
Neither am I then.
I can't tell why I become very proactive
If you love someone
Everything becomes worthwhile doing
Here, take this.
You could be a good actor.
Sir, if you need me to work with you again,
I'm happy to oblige.
I want to take you to my grandma's house
Look at the sunset together
Until we fall asleep
I want to be like this
Holding your hand and never letting you go
Could love be forever innocent and without grief?
You resting on my shoulder
And you falling asleep on my chest
Just living like this with me loving you, loving me
Just want to love easily
-Great! -Amazing!
-Encore! -Encore!
-You're so cool! -Encore!
When did they practice this song?
Mist is coming through the sky
The river is as quiet as an oil painting
Doves of peace strolling around lazily
My heart secretly lights up
Praying you are like a brave warrior
Watching and protecting our love
The footprints you leave in my memory
Is the scenery I love the most
I want to think about you, day and night
Send you a letter representing my love
I want to think about you, day and night
Heart to heart, we will travel the whole world
You are my festival
You are my sunny day
My love will never sleep
My thoughts will continue to fly around you
And my love will my never set
I borrowed it from someone.
Where's Mr. Xing?
He said he's going to upload the video of your performance at home.
He walked away with the camera in a hurry.
Well, to express my gratitude,
why don't we take a spin in my car?
Where did you get a car?
I borrowed it from someone too.
Ms. Yu.
Thank you.
For what?
Thank you for being so nice to me.
Not a lot of people are nice to me.
Drive-Thru Entrance
The first time I saw you,
standing at the door,
I knew you were
very special.
Hi, what would you like to order?
I would like one chicken burger,
four pieces of chicken nuggets, one custard tart, and one French fries.
Since way back then,
I think...
I think I have a crush on you.
Would you like any drinks?
What do you want to drink?
I just wanted to say
that we should find a time to talk about this.
Sorry. Would you like any drinks?
What?
Coke. Thank you.
Less ice, please.
You don't have to give me the answer.
-But I want you to know... -Would you like to upgrade your fries?
I want you to know that all those love songs that I sing,
I only want to sing them to you.
Sorry, would you like to upgrade your fries?
No, thank you.
You know, confessing your feelings
seemed easy on television shows.
But...
But I don't want to get rejected.
Sorry, can I get one cream corn soup as well?
Let me repeat the order.
One French fries, one chicken burger, one coke with less ice,
four pieces of chicken nuggets, one corn soup, and one custard tart.
Is there anything else?
We're not right for each other.
You know...
You're too young.
I can't...
Would you like an extra custard tart at a special price?
That's okay.
The custard tart is too sweet for me.
Is there anything else I can get you?
That's it, thank you.
That's it.
Thank you.

Hi. How are you?
I'm doing good.
Hey, you moron.
Where have you been all these years?
Right.
You were gone to the countryside, and no one knows what you are up to.
-Nothing at all. -Come.
Do you have a girlfriend now?
No, I am too busy for that.
Come on! You are a teacher, that is a babe-magnet!
It's true, I'm too busy.
Please help me welcome our best man and the maid of honor.
Our best man is the groom, Zhang Fengqun's younger brother,
and the maid of honor is Yu Jing,
the bride's best friend back in school.
She purposefully came back here from Hualien
to attend this wedding ceremony.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
please help me welcome the groom and the bride!
Everyone, let me introduce you to my best friend.
He is a teacher and also a golden bachelor.
Everyone looked up to him back then.
There were about 50,000 high school girls
whose birthday wish was to marry this guy.
-So handsome. -So handsome.
-Marry me. -Let's count.
-One, two, three. -One, two, three.
Congratulations.
-Together! -Together!
There are two medical doctors
and four engineers at our table.
I think our classmates are living the life.
Honestly,
I feel a little sorry for Xing Zhiyuan.
Who would've thought that he would end up like this
just because he followed his dreams?
So I heard that it is in the countryside of Hualien.
Last time, I got a bank investor.
Really?
I want to exchange mine with yours.
Didn't you say you only want handsome guys?
No way, what good can "handsome" do?
I want to exchange mine with yours!
-Hi. -Let's go.
Dreams are just dreams when it comes to reality.
Xing Zhiyuan's journey has already been more than ten years.
At a certain point and time,
even the most idealistic ones tend to give up
because they lack money.
Be careful.
Walk carefully.
-Take a break. -Sit down.
Gosh.
Have him sit here. I'll hail a taxi.
Dude, you're super drunk.
-You sure you can hail a taxi? -Sure.
Is he okay?
He's a stubborn man.
I've known him for 20 years,
and he's always been like this.
Hey.
Be careful!
Do you know that in the college entrance exam,
he got the highest score in Jianguo Senior High School?
And then,
this guy said he wanted to be a teacher.
So we lost one National Taiwan University graduate.
After he graduated,
he wasn't settled to be just a substitute teacher,
so he worked part-time jobs during weekends as well,
and dreamed of having his own business
about "potential development."
Is that why he moved to Hualien?
Do you think he has other choices?
Zhiyuan, the taxi is coming. Let's go.
-Be careful. -Hey, the taxi driver told me
that his house is in the opposite direction.
I'll get him back home.
You guys can give me the address.
It's fine.
Are your parents at home?
"Our little Zhiyuan is very smart."
"He is destined for greatness."
"I must ask all of you to stop playing with him,
you're just wasting his time."
What?
-Hi, sir. -Hi.
Come on in.
Be careful.
You don't have to feel sorry for him.
This is not the first time he has felt defeated.
He was defeated ten years ago.
He talks about his dreams all day.
His dreams are like trash.
Apart from smelling bad, what else are they?
The bank calls me
about his debt every day.
A brand new special class to discover your talents.
Think about it.
Please think about it.
Thank you.
When he blundered back to God,
his songs are half-written. His work is half done.
Who knows what path his bruised feet trod?
What hills of peace or pain did he win?
Sorry.
I didn't even study at that cram school.
Back then,
everyone wanted to know me.
They all wanted to say
that they were in my circle of friends.
Class of 1994, Congratulations to Xing Zhiyuan
That day when my mom passed away,
the teacher came to my house.
She came to me,
and she said
to me...
Zhiyuan, you have to study hard
and become a successful person.
Don't let your mom down.
I thought to myself,
not even the death of my mom can stop them
from pestering me to study hard.
That's why I decided I wanted to become a teacher.
My dream is to have all kinds of different kids know
that there is more than one definition of success.
And now...
Today...
Tonight...
All those people!
They think I'm nothing.
But at least,
I know how to do this.
Hey!
Are you okay?
Be careful.
You are bleeding.
Hey, you want to check it out, right?
At least, I'm good at doing wedding dances.
I don't need your help!
Please, don't help me!
Please.
Don't sympathize with me.
Don't look down on me.
Please.
Let's welcome
the main characters of tonight, the groom and the bride!
They will perform a short dance for us.
His song is half-written.
His work is half done.
Who knows what path his bruised feet trod?
What hills of peace or pain did he win?
So how have you been?
Are you seeing anyone new?
There are
too many people.
I guess my luck's getting better.
But they may not be the right ones.
Go on.
I think that going right into a relationship
is not the most rational decision for me.
After all that,
I try to force myself to make a decision,
but then
I feel uneasy about my decision again.
Post-traumatic syndrome
makes you want to forget,
but then you always sink back into your memories.
They want to take back what they lost.
You have to keep in mind,
you would be stuck
if you have a leg on the brake and the other on the pedal.
When being in a dilemma,
people tend to be hesitant about whether they want to stay or leave
and forget the cost of not making decisions.
You know why Prince Charming and Snow White
lived happily ever after?
Because neither of them
thought too much.
Hi! This is Network Idol Show,
our faculty has received the formal application
for Zheng Yang High School.
There is a great chance that you might be able
to get into the top ten.
Now, we would like to invite the family members from each team
to record a short clip of them cheering the teams on...
Open the door, Dong.
Good news!
I just received a call from the show
saying that we have a chance of getting into the top ten.
We can go on TV!
What do you want?
I'm greeting your grandma.
I promised the show I would get a short clip of...
She needs some rest.
Now's not a good time?
She's not feeling well.
She's gone to the hospital.
Dong, open the door.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Dong!
-What are you doing? -Dong!
Don't sleep now.
How dare you call yourself a teacher
when you bust into someone's house like that?
What are you guys doing here?
That's your grandma in the photo,
right?
Why did you lie to us?
I didn't lie to you guys.
Your grandma passed away, didn't she?
You told us that she was still alive. Is that not a lie?
She's my grandma.
If I tell you guys she's still alive, then she is alive.
It's none of your business.
At this rate,
I would've been much faster if I just got a fake grandma to film.
What are you doing?
Dong.
-All you want to do is use me! -Stop it!
-Enough! -What are you two doing? Stop!
Who do you think you are?
You have no right over me!
Enough!
Dong!
Seriously? You're saying he was attacked by the thief?
In a countryside like this, we rarely have this kind of case.
If you notice anyone suspicious,
or if you remember anything,
please give us a call.
What should I do from now on?
What should I do?
Dong,
wash your hands now, let's go eat.
Let's go eat now.
Grandma, let's eat.
The dishes are getting cold.
Did you do well?
I came in second in my class.
Really?
Then let me go ask
when the top student is transferring away.
Good job.
I'll sign here.
Don't forget to hand this back to the teacher tomorrow.
Grandma.
Do you think it hurt
when my parents were in that car accident?
Stop thinking so much.
Close your eyes.
If you imagine that they're still here,
then they will always be.
There are a lot of tear wounds,
you have to be careful so that it doesn't get inflamed.
What's more concerning is the slight concussion he received.
Good health, get well soon
Hi, did the doctor say anything about his condition today?
He hasn't woken up?
Sorry.
The Central Weather Bureau has reported
that there will be a massive rainstorm tonight.
Yilan, Hualien, and Taitung
will have torrential rain coming their way.
Experts advise citizens not to leave the house.
Hey!
I was about to buy some instant ramen and some snacks,
but then I found out I didn't have any money on me.
Great! Now I get to find out
how much money you have in your account.
Come on.
A power outage?
It cannot be opened.
What should we do? Will we be trapped here forever?
At least it's pretty safe here.
Banks protect their money with heavy security,
so they may send people here right away.
That day,
it was raining just like this.
He put a ring on my finger,
and then
we took a trip around Taiwan.
We got so tanned,
and my finger had a tan line after that trip.
Hey, why don't you talk a little bit about yourself?
I don't have anything to say.
Everyone has something they can talk about,
you just don't want to tell me, that's all.
That day,
I was in the hospital.
It was raining heavily, like today.
A girl
sat by my bed,
and she trimmed my nails for me.
She trimmed them well. Look!
I...
The main characters in movies are always unconscious for years.
That's why I trimmed your nails.
Who knew you would wake up in a few days?
I wasn't totally unconscious those few days.
What do you mean?
I was there every day.
You weren't conscious then.
Gosh. You are a terrible person.
Hey.
My head still hurts.
You know,
if you endure it for a little longer,
everything will be over.
I don't have many strengths,
and endurance is the only strength I have.
You know what.
When I was unconscious,
I dreamt a lot about you.
Thank you,
you're a great person.
Taipei Zhiya Forest School
Taipei Zhiya Forest School Recruiting
Hi, Mr. Xing!
Congratulations to the July Boys for getting into the top ten.
We would like to invite you and your band to come up north
and join the competition for the top five!
Hey, open the door.
Right now?
Or what, have me wait until you're 20
and you become a rightful citizen?
Hurry up!
Do you remember what happened when your grandma got sick?
What happened after that?
She...
She got sick for a while last year.
It was pretty serious.
But her condition got better.
Everyone says that she's all good now.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
You know what?
Sometimes the seeds grow,
and you start to anticipate.
But
sometimes the leaves keep on falling.
What you have to do then
is to check the soil
and figure out what the problem is.
Then you add the fertilizers.
As long as the roots don't rot,
there will always be another chance.
I don't know what else to do.
When the person you're talking to is not listening to your explanation,
the best option is not to explain at all.
Dong.
You might not understand what I'm saying right now.
However,
I am a very forgiving person.
Tomorrow morning, we start practice at eight o'clock.
Same place, we'll wait for you.
I don't think I should continue...
Who in this world
doesn't have a past they're ashamed of?
What did they do?
Pretend nothing ever happened?
An 18-year-old boy
may not care about succeeding,
but at least he cares about love, right?
Eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ms. Yu will be there as well.
We should learn from infants
To be more forgiving
Forget everything after you cry
Stop dwelling on yesterday's pain
Baby, don't cry
Happiness is an ocean
And I am the wings of flight
I want to find freedom!
A group of shiny islands lines up to make a smile
They're called
The islands of happiness
Well, what are you waiting for?
-Mr. Xing, what are you doing? -What are you doing?
Practicing courage.
Hi, everyone! We are the July Boys!
Get up!
Love exists, in this new genesis
I enjoy the feeling of confidence
I can see that you smile like an angel
How dare you?
I am willing to stay by your side
And grant all your wishes
Seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Don't watch them.
Don't worry about the other contestants.
We came prepared. Fully prepared.
Two, three, four...
Where are my drumsticks?
Did you guys see them?
-One, two, three, -I remember I brought them.
four, five, six, seven, eight.
Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Thank you very much!
Now, next is the July Boys from Hualien!
Please start now.
The clear river
Flows quietly in your eyes
Your smile causes it to ripple
On the calm lake
The green mountains
Rise between your eyes
Your silence brings the night wind
As it blows past my ears
You're a lily in the mountains
Blooming silently
The swaying mountain wind softly caresses
As the stars fill the sky
When I was a temporary teacher,
I would often see the same kind
of people in the education circle.
Standing on the podium,
talking nonstop.
All I want to do is to help kids.
To help them become who they want to be.
The title contenders, the July Boys, are on campus!
I am grateful for two things,
one was leaving Taipei,
and the other is coming back here again.
Mr. Xing.
This is a draft of your appointment letter.
Inside, you will find a draft of your pay
and teaching propositions.
Please do consider.
I think you understand, for someone like you,
Lee Dongshuo is just a beginning.
We have the resources here
and we can do much more together.
Thank you.
Sorry, but when's the latest I can give you an answer?
Are you not happy with the salary?
Money is not my prime objective.
Mr. Xing,
what we can offer here at this school is to provide you
with a stable environment
to teach the brightest kids of the next generation.
Is that not what you always wanted?
Mr. Xing,
I thought you were the type of person who would do anything for your ambitions.
The so-called ideals,
people think that they are all gains,
but they are sacrifices.
The one who understands these
can go further.
Yes.
I'm that kind of person.
It's cool to take an official leave to join a show in Taipei.
Look, it's Ms. Yu!
Where is she going?
Maybe a date?
Hey, I'm going out for a bit.
Hey.
Please follow that taxi.
Your total is 170 dollars.
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic
Could you confirm it and sign here, and here?
After the artificial abortion procedure,
please stay here in the clinic for about an hour.
Did your family members come with you today?
My...
My house is just next door.
We are experts on painless abortion.
Ms. Yu!
What are you doing here?
I don't get to come to Taipei a lot,
so I decided to take a tour.
Are you sightseeing as well?
I...
I came
to get a new pair of glasses.
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic
Can you please
not ask me what happened?
No. 36, Hot Ginger Tea?
Let me get it for you.
Thank you.
Your eyes are really beautiful.
So
it doesn't matter
if you wear glasses or not.
Hey,
we finally got into the finals of the contest.
Have you ever thought
about what you want to do after all of this is over?
You? You have a plan in mind?
Catalog Introduction
Back then,
none of the schools wanted to hire me, and now, all of them are offering me jobs.
-Asking me to think... -You had plans to leave here early on?
So soon?
If you were me,
you would need to think everything through every day.
Did you ever think about the people close to you
when you made those decisions?
I'm thinking of moving
forward and not thinking about others.
That's how I got my achievements today.
Because that is who I am.
We are different.
You're right,
I can't be you.
Do you watch basketball?
You see that guy.
He didn't make a move at the right moment,
and he decided to pass the ball.
Then he ran out of time,
and the match ended badly.
I'm not trying to go against you,
but I made my decision to leave this place.
But it doesn't mean I haven't considered staying here.
I hope you can understand my decisions.
If you want,
I can help you contact that school.
Why the heck aren't you in bed? We have the finals tomorrow.
Do you want to go to the hot spring?
What?
Mr. Xing.
You are...
You're a good person.
You can't tell me this without getting naked?
Ms. Yu.
She's also a good person.
She is.
She's probably a hundred times better than me.
I always thought that people who came from Taipei
were mean and terrible people.
There are all kinds of people in Taipei.
You can't really tell who's good and who's bad.
Take Ms. Yu for example.
She's the kind of person
who would wait for the light to turn green
before crossing the street.
As for me,
I'm the type of person who rushes through
even though the light is turning yellow.
Okay, we should get going.
We have to wake up early tomorrow.
-Let's go. -Mr. Xing.
If I see the yellow light,
I'm the type of person who rushes in as well.
Monday
Next, it's the July Boys.
Hey,
if we lose today,
it's my fault.
But I thank you guys for your help, I appreciate it.
One, two, three. Let's go!
You left this at my house yesterday.
What are you looking at me for?
You're supposed to look at the stage.
Sorry.
But we are not going to sing the song we had planned.
We wrote an original
that we would like to perform at the finals.
I would like to give this song
to someone I really care about.
I want to tell her
that you're a really good person.
Everyone around you
wants to be better because of you.
How to forget
An unforgettable end?
How to forgive a rational absurdity?
When you walk into my dark side
It feels like you have opened a skylight
Your smile bright as moonlight
And it rips off my disguise
Because of you, I have become a better man
Because of you, I want to fly high, to laugh loud
Because it is you that I want to hug
Because of you, I am no longer a loner
All better now
My heart knows that now
How to put on a disguise
When tears swallow my hardiness?
How to hide the untold past?
When your so-called beautiful world
Starts falling apart
Your wound can be healed
Because I will sing for you
Because of you, I have become a better man
Because of you, I cry, I laugh
Because it is you, I want to run away with you
Because of you
I want to be your man
All better now
Your tears know now
Because of you, I have become a better man
Because of you, I cry, I laugh
Because it is you, I want to run away with you
Because of you
I want to be your man
All better now
Your tears know now
How nice you are, my heartbeat knows now
Ms. Yu, we're heading to our seats.
They're about to reveal the rankings.
But Ms. Yu, didn't you say...
I know what I said.
The winner of this year's Network Idol is...
Noovy!
Hi.
Long time no see.
I will be in Huadong
this weekend.
Are you still staying there?
It's beautiful there.
If you have time, you two should stay a little longer.
Can I sit here?
No!
Did you not take your meds today or something?
You're smiling like a maniac.
You know I've heard people say that when someone
is at the bottom of the pit, they start giggling like that.
Who does Noovy think they are?
Is Noovy really better than us?
-Right? -Hey.
What?
Idiot!
Didn't you see Dong's face?
He is so in love that he even composes a love song for her.
My goodness. I really want it too.
Then you must...
The night when we got eliminated,
we were still trying.
Speaking of life,
you think you are an independent existence,
and yet,
you are always connected
to someone else without knowing it.
Open the door for me.
Right now?
Or what, have me wait until you're old enough for a wheelchair?
Are you leaving?
Yes.
Is Ms. Yu leaving with you?
This is between us.
I want to compete with you, man to man.
I don't think you know what it means to be a man.
Just because you're a teacher doesn't mean
you can teach me everything.
Then before you go,
can you teach me how to upload videos?
All that video equipment as well.
How much are they? I'm willing to buy them from you.
I may not have won today, but I can still sing.
As long as I can keep on singing,
I will always have another chance.
Sit down.
Let me tell you.
A grown man
will not allow his love rival to sit next to him.
There are many kinds of possibilities,
and the worst of all is to miss someone you love.
That night
after Dong left,
I have learned something.
Hello, sir.
I'm Xing Zhiyuan.
I've thought about it,
and I plan on returning to Taipei in about a week.
It is my pleasure
to teach at your school.
I was wondering
when you might see this letter.
But, Xing Zhiyuan, did you know?
I've been following your shadow
all these years,
but you just never know about it.
In 1995, Jimmy Lin came out with his first album.
That year, you were already the idol for high school girls.
Did you know I've known you for that long?
You probably didn't know,
I didn't just know you.
I'll be right back.
-Back then, -Mr. Xing.
-Have you seen this? -I had a crush on you as well.
One of the craziest things I've done in my entire life
is you.
When I broke off my engagement,
I decided that it was another chance
for me to find you.
By the way,
I also know my way around the Internet.
Hualien Zheng Yang High School
Thank you.
Back then, I just wanted to see you again.
I knew
that I needed someone
like you in my life.
It's not just because
you're tall
and handsome.
Mostly because it always seemed
that there is hope in the future
whenever I'm with you.
You were born for great things.
It was never your goal to drive nice cars
or make lots of money.
Back at the aquarium when you told me that you wanted to become a teacher
to help set all the kids free and define their own success.
I thought to myself,
"Wouldn't it be nice to have all these small fishes
return to the sea?"
Therefore, Xing Zhiyuan,
no matter what happens,
please don't let this little girl down.
There is a kind of melody called "reluctant"
There is a kind of letting go that hurts like a knife
Hiding and sealing, still can't make it go away
Please make the wound vanish in this song
Leave only the genuine beauty like a poem
There is a kind of melody called "missing"
The more you miss, the more you hurt
No matter how long it has been, the memories are still carved deep
I thank you with a smile
And letting you go
Leave only this heart breaking, a love song dedicated to you
Dong: Hey, I wrote a new song.
Would you like me to sing it for you?
Xing: Where are you?
Or do I need to google you as well?
-Hello. -Hello.
Hey, it's me.
Tomorrow is a new day, a new beginning.
Do you want to go with me...
Yu Jing's accident
changed all of us.
Are you guys Yu Jing's family members?
Do you guys know
that the patient has been pregnant for 16 weeks?
I'm the type of person
who always leaves his favorite dishes to enjoy at the end.
But in the end, the dishes turn cold,
and all the people you used to eat with left.
I found out,
to love and be loved,
if there's a time difference between the two,
the only thing we can do
then is to say goodbye properly.
Take care.
Go!
What? You want more cash?
Who would have thought
that he went to Taipei before I did?
He went to the city,
and he sang all the love songs he knew.
He eventually made a name for himself as a singer.
I turned all the regrets in my heart into fuel
to help motivate me.
Little School
I stayed.
I founded a school.
I built a dream school for rural areas.
If one's not enough, then I will create multiple schools.
And Yu Jing.
She was lucky.
Although she didn't keep the baby,
she started a new life
at the Forest School.
She comforted me.
She said thank God her hands were okay,
and she could still play the piano.
She always told me,
her body may be a little broken,
but her mind isn't.
If I have learned something
from these years,
it's the realization that the success I've been searching for
comes from the heart.
It's not easy to leave a name for yourself in the course of history.
But
when you close your eyes,
the songs that move you
and the people you care about
will always be there for you.
Little School
Adong, Lee Dongshuo
2019 Spring
Mom, is the wind strong enough here?
Of course.
Do you want to try the kite out?
Mom, I have decided.
What have you decided, dear?
When I grow up, I want to become a singer!
When I become a singer,
I'll bring you on stage!
Really?
If I'm going on stage,
then I should wear a nice dress for that, right?
You can play the piano for me!
We can practice the same song!
Right, we have to practice.
That is my dream!
What I liked most in my life
were my dreams and ambitions.
