[ Who Am I ] EP2
When I was little, I saw something that isn't supposed to be seen by a kid at that age
But I couldn't avoid seeing it
For a child like me, that wasn’t the deepest pain
Why do people come to this world?
I’m finally about to go sailing
In Onagawa, Chao Deng and his friends took Huahua out sailing
From this spot, fish them out of the sea
Fish what out of the sea? Sea squirts?
Sea squirts. Okay
That thing is kinda strange
strange
It will squirt water if you touch it
Squirt water
Be careful
It'll be fine
It doesn't matter. I’ll spit at it if it squirts
Whoa, are these (barriers set up) for enclosed (fish) farming?
Hua Hua, throw this to that spot
to that spot
Got it
This can be eaten instantly
eaten raw
Raw?
Try one
It’s really squirting water
Whoa
Do you wanna try it?
Why does it have a taste?
It’s the taste of the sea
taste of the sea
It’s sweet, yet it’s salty
It's like life. First, it is bitter and then, it becomes sweet
Yeah
Look at this seagull, look
Look, look
He’s welcoming you
It left
It's waiting for you to feed it
It's waiting for us to feed it
Hua Hua, you can feed it with this
Just throw it to the sea and the bird will fly over
This is so fun
Next, we clean this up
And then, we take it back for further processing
Okay
Just put it here
What are you doing? I'm so cold
I’m so cold right now
But today, I went out sailing
And now
My hands and my face
are frozen
When I talk
Now when I talk, my mouth can't close
In Deng’s seafood processing workshop
The three of them started processing what they harvested from sailing
It’s boiling
The water is already bubbling
Turn off the stove if it’s boiling
Whoa, it’s so fresh
Awesome (in Japanese)
Okay, thank you (in Japanese)
Can you eat it as a whole or do you still have to peel off the shell?
Alright
Please (in Japanese)
Let’s start
Taste good
It feel like that during these two days
I've been eating
delicious food
Talking about delicious food, Hua Hua, do you know that
after the tsunami
the seafood from Onagawa
had been unsalable for a while?
Unsalable?
But, it’s so tasty, why?
Onagawa...
Because Onagawa is located in Miyagi Ken
Miyagi Ken is adjacent to Fukushima
So people would think that there was strong radiation
In fact, in the fish market, they have specialized detection equipment
which proved that the radiation level is lower than the standard
So, we felt lucky at that time
It must be that...
We were really worried
If an accident happened in a nuclear power plant like the one at Fukushima
The consequences would be unimaginable
Yeah
Back then, my kid was just born
And I’d worry
I just went back to China and had my new job
I went back (to China) then
My wife and daughter were over here
You worried about the growing-up of the kid
yes
So you were back in China then
But your wife and child are in (Japan)
I don't have to have a successful career
But if during the growing process of the kid
if she losts her father or mother’s love
then this might be a loss in the future (for the kid)
Yeah, yeah
So, what did you do before, Chao?
I was in the IT industry, in a top 500 world ranked company
Whoa, IT? Cool
And I'd been working in the sales department
The sales department, whoa
So when I came here, I felt that...
Including some of my own experience...
I felt that
They (the experiences) might be useful
He had a good income in China
But after what happened, he quit his job
and came here to be with his family
In his world
his family
the people he loves the most
are more important than anything else
More important than
fame, interest, wealth, or anything
Actually, what my dad did to me
in my childhood, wasn’t the deepest pain
My old man was on my side
He protected me
When I was little, I saw something that isn't supposed to be seen by a kid at that age
But I couldn't avoid seeing it
Back then, I felt that I was
very depressed, really depressed
Later I even thought, why do people come to this world
When I saw Mona, I thought of my little sister
I guess it’s because I really like this type of family
Probably that’s
what I've longed for since I was a child and also what I want to do in the future --
To have a family like this
to have a little baby
a wife deep in love
a dog
or even a lot of animals
The precondition is that I will give her (the little baby) a complete family
Today, Hua Hua went to Mr. Takahashi's factory
He wanted to experience the daily life of production line workers
Haha
This is my first time wearing this
Good
Then let's go
Wash your hands
with this (hand soap)
Okay (in Japanese)
Oh, it's for sterilizing
This is Kazuo
You can do the job according to the manual
I got it (in Japanese)
You can be slow but make sure it's accurate
Please
You got it?
Okay
No problem (in Japanese)
This is the first time in my life that I've ever been to a factory
It's amazing
There are four of these
four, five, five
So the one with four of them must taste a little better
Ah, I'm sweating
This looks simple but
you get really tired when you keep on repeating one movement
Ah, I'm a little (tired)
Many girls who do this here
they might be more tired than I am
Because I've only worked for a little more than one hour
and I'm already feeling
sour all over my body
They have to spend the entire day here
So, I feel that they must be really, really tired
I feel so accomplished
I'm a little bit more productive than they are
because I know how to use Chin Dogu
At lunch time, Takahashi took Huahua to the female worker's dorm
Here lives over 20 female workers from all over China
Hello
Chinese?
So, this is your dorm
Yeah
So, everyone who lives here is Chinese?
This is so cool
Over here please
Whoa
Surprise
Amazing (in Japanese)
Whoa
you made all of these yourself?
Yeah, we prepared them together for you
That's so great
So, can we eat together?
Yes we can
It look so delicious
So, let's take it easy
These dishes are all
made by our big sister
Which big sister?
This one
Hello, big sister
Big sister is a good cook
Big sister you are so cool
Hua Hua, try this fish. It's from our company
It's for making fish pies
(The) ingredient
for making fish pies
Yes, our fish pies are famous in Miyagi Ken
because back then
back then we had nothing to eat during the tsunami
We took out all our inventories to serve the victims
Then we became famous
because
the boss is kind
We saved lots of people
because that tsunami caused serious damages
There was almost no food around here
So our boss took out all of the fish pies
and didn't keep any for himself
He gave all of them to the Japanese public
We became famous since then
A kind man got his (deserved) reward
Yeah
Yesterday, I heard
what Mr. Takahashi said
Back then
during the tsunami
there was a hero
called Sato
I heard that he saved a lot of Chinese people
A graduate student
Is he the same as you guys? You are all graduate students?
Yeah
The memory about the tsunami on March 11th
brought Hua Hua back to two days ago
when Mr. Takahashi told him about Mr. Sato
who sacrificed himself for saving over 20 Chinese female workers
When Mr. Sato was alive
he wrote a song about Onagawa
It's called <>
After the disaster, this song became
an cheer-up song for this city
(singing)
When he was alive
he really loved music
He had his own band
and wrote his own songs
It's a song about loving this place and for cheering people up
So, I decided that I'd try my best to learn this song
in the memory of Mr. Sato
Also to cheer up the residents in Onagawa
Do Le Kyo
[Trying to pronounce Japanese by using Pinyin]
It took me so long for only these two lines
[Rushed to ask help from a translator]
That's for dance
Now, I can see that the lyrics are not in sync (with the melody)
Ah, it's all wrong
Hehe
This part is long
[Translator: I can't save him anymore]
Saury
Do you know what does that mean?
"Who am I"
It means "who am I"
I'm so sleepy
You know what had happened before
I'm here to see
After what had happened in Onagawa
how it looks like nowadays after the rebuilt
It's like
being at home
Just like today
when I had a meal with you at your dorm
Everyone is happy
I hope everyone can get along well
But this time I feel
like what Mr. Takahashi has said
I made a really good friend
Today, we are sitting here
So tonight, we will be good friends
Let's sing and dance. Today is the festival of Saury
Everybody from the city
Let's all welcome the bounty of the sea
Those who catch fish, sell fish, and eat fish
Those who work
This is a festival for all
Saury, dance of suary
Saury
Dance of saury
Saury, dance of suary
Saury of Onagawa
The harvest season
Let's take it easy
Mr. Takahashi
thank you
Mr. Takahashi
happy new year
We are friends
We are family
Although we only spent a short time together
but I got along with them fast
Although bad things happened, but it doesn't affect any of us
in our pursuit for a wonderful life
We would get sad
But, we've also become more united because of what happened
and this small town has become warmer
I feel people here are all loving and kind
Freedom is shot down from the sky
The soul is drenched in the sea
What we human define as
boundaries, a lots of boundaries--
they are contrived
It turns out that what I've imagined
imageries just like those in anime
can actually appear in my real life
It turns out that sincere feelings
have been around all the time
They exist on everyone's mind
This is a wonderful thing

When 99,000 cherry blossom trees
bloom with pedals flying all over the sky
over ninety percent of people had gone with the wind
For many things in this world, it's like...
It starts when it should and ends when it should
Follow your heart and destiny
Settle in the circumstances that you encounter
Tsunami! Run!
After seven days
It (tsunami) had me experienced several extreams
I was extreamly shocked
extreamly fearful
and felt extreamly warmed
These extreams for me, they have allowed me to feel more things
Allow me to redefine these things
