00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:36,728
We've read Yu Qiuyu's
"The Messenger" last week
2
00:01:36,796 --> 00:01:39,390
Let's read his
3
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:42,763
"Weight of Thirty Years" today
4
00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:45,470
Please turn to page 431
5
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:48,701
Among the unending phone calls
6
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:52,903
I suddenly hear the voice of an old man
7
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:55,505
It's my Chinese teacher
8
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:59,709
...from high school 30 years ago
Mr. Mu Ni
9
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:01,477
It was lost during the Cultural Revolution
10
00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:05,279
The old man said
Can you draw me another one?
11
00:02:05,492 --> 00:02:07,585
For my collection when I am old?
12
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,853
Memories of the early sixties appear
13
00:02:10,029 --> 00:02:13,021
High school life was tough but happy
14
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,327
The children knew by instinct
15
00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:16,399
these teachers
16
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:20,495
...were under political pressure
17
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:24,141
We couldn't afford
New Year greeting cards
18
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:26,744
We could only draw
our own on blank paper
19
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:29,938
No matter what we wrote
or what we drew
20
00:02:30,116 --> 00:02:33,108
it was no better than any other student
21
00:02:33,353 --> 00:02:36,015
We've already forgotten
the way we used to draw
22
00:02:36,523 --> 00:02:39,253
We can only use the hands
of two middle-aged men
23
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:42,826
to roll up 30 years of
sweetness and bitterness
24
00:02:43,062 --> 00:02:45,929
to let you feel the great love that lasts
25
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:50,603
Yu Qiuyu's "The Weight of Thirty Years"
26
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:53,265
Think of the time
27
00:02:53,473 --> 00:02:56,306
when you feel the weight
28
00:02:56,576 --> 00:02:59,238
This is the topic for
this week's assignment
29
00:02:59,812 --> 00:03:02,246
Good-bye. Good-bye
30
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:33,936
Miss, what are you doing?
31
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:35,630
You haven't paid yet
32
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:45,344
I'm sorry
33
00:04:45,985 --> 00:04:49,546
She's my sister. I'm paying for her
34
00:05:06,539 --> 00:05:09,406
Hello. Yes, I'll pick her up later
35
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:12,703
I got some things to do now. Thanks
36
00:05:13,913 --> 00:05:17,440
My name is Yip. I'm out of a job
and I've 2 dogs
37
00:05:17,717 --> 00:05:19,844
They would be starving without me
38
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:21,383
You ran away from home?
39
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:27,659
Rosa kicked me out
40
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,089
We had a fight yesterday
41
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:33,090
Ive no choice cause
I was living under her roof
42
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:37,861
You can't steal stuff
even if you're penniless
43
00:05:38,037 --> 00:05:39,299
Do you have any friends here?
44
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:42,099
Who cares?
45
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:43,173
All I want to do is eat!
46
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:50,680
One coffee, please
47
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:10,195
(Did others say you look lovely
when you're sleeping? Jin)
48
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,674
Don't you have anything you want to do?
49
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:28,016
Why does everyone ask me
the same question?
50
00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:29,654
Rosa does it too
51
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,447
She says I'm wasting my time
52
00:06:31,657 --> 00:06:35,559
And that she'll look down
on me too one day
53
00:06:35,628 --> 00:06:38,688
She kicked me out because of the fight
54
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:42,957
Actually, she cherishes me
55
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:46,037
But she was too nosy
and always babbling
56
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:48,432
You are different
You are so soft and gentle
57
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,801
Sorry, I'm treating you like my students
58
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,302
So, tell me one of your secrets
and we'll call it even?
59
00:07:23,709 --> 00:07:25,506
Call it even?
60
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:50,867
I've never left school for 30 years
61
00:07:51,437 --> 00:07:55,100
From high school to university
to being a teacher
62
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:59,007
I just go from one school to another
63
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:02,204
That's not a secret
64
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:47,924
I used to visit a friend a lot in Macau
65
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:52,427
She was my best friend
66
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,758
... who became a nun at 23
67
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:21,757
It'll be hard at times
68
00:09:22,762 --> 00:09:26,755
Just tell me about it
no one would blame you
69
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:54,953
(Did others say you look lovely
when you're sleeping? Jin)
70
00:10:26,692 --> 00:10:28,660
Cry to me whenever you want to
71
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:30,318
just treat me to dinner
72
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:35,264
You can cry as loud as you want
73
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:29,853
Thank you
74
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:34,916
The company is nearby
75
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:36,321
I'll go by myself. No need to wait for me
76
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:37,492
Bye
77
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:54,037
How did you find me?
78
00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:57,475
There're only a few girls' school
79
00:12:57,676 --> 00:12:58,904
in this area
80
00:13:01,313 --> 00:13:02,541
You have to read it
81
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:41,018
Hurry up! Come on, hurry up!
82
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:43,155
Wait for me
83
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,317
It's raining
84
00:13:45,724 --> 00:13:46,520
Really?
85
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:49,790
Look
86
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:01,302
I don't feel it. I'm not a lamp post
87
00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:13,113
That tastes sour
88
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:25,923
I'm back at Rosa's place
I wanted to return your money
89
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:28,030
But then I decided to
make you dinner instead
90
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:29,256
How about this Saturday?
91
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:31,062
You can bring Ting Ting along
92
00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:34,471
And yes, you asked me
what I wanted to do?
93
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:37,870
There are two things I wanted to do
94
00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:39,041
Find a girl
95
00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:41,874
and a suitable job
96
00:14:42,181 --> 00:14:44,615
I don't think I have to tell
anyone about this
97
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,977
And I'm not sure when I can succeed
98
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:50,118
I dreamt about you that night
99
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,085
If you want to know about my dream
100
00:14:52,324 --> 00:14:53,882
you'll have to come on Saturday
101
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:55,427
Come on, hurry up
102
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:10,370
You live here alone?
103
00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:07,221
Get up! Hurry, I want you to see this
104
00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:09,065
Get up!
105
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:10,459
I'm very tired
106
00:16:11,503 --> 00:16:12,492
Hurry up!
107
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,054
Hello, Hello
108
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:18,987
Rosa, who is it?
109
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:20,390
I don't know
110
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:46,914
I'm having dinner with my friends
from university on Saturday
111
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,254
I'll bring Ting Ting along
and be back a bit late
112
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:52,929
Great, go and have fun
113
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:57,091
Go and do some shopping
114
00:18:57,336 --> 00:19:00,772
You haven't bought yourself
anything for some time
115
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:06,943
What? Eat
116
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:34,198
When butterflies fly away
117
00:19:34,439 --> 00:19:38,967
So does the heart
118
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:46,142
In the long night who shall come
119
00:19:46,952 --> 00:19:52,185
To dry a face full of tears
120
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:59,157
Yearning for a little dependence
121
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:04,565
Yearning for a little love
122
00:20:04,903 --> 00:20:11,706
An old acquaintance is too hard to end
123
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:17,571
Resulting in a heart full of grief
124
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:23,580
How can one endure
125
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,153
The guessing here, the blaming there
126
00:20:26,425 --> 00:20:31,453
When I was thirteen
I slept with a girl one day
127
00:20:37,035 --> 00:20:38,696
She smelled so good
128
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:42,666
...and was holding me all along
129
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:45,072
Then
130
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:50,774
I put my hand inside her body
