  • 0:09 - 0:10
    I didn't like my father.
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    He was poor and unsuccessful.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    Despite working harder than all my friend's fathers.
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    I didn't thing he was very smart.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    You will be a GREAT MAN! Just Believe! :)
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Hey... It's ... It's not for you.
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    I've never seen him as an inspiration.
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    Hey! What... What?
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    We're late for school.
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    Oh yah... School. Sorry. I'll hurry.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Now here's your pocket money.
  • 1:24 - 1:25
    Here's a bit of extra.
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    Time to pay your taxes.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    From you.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    This is from me.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    Why are we not rich?
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    Who says we're not rich?
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    Being rich...
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    is not about ho much...
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    you have.
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    But how much...
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    you give.
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    Somehow, when you give,
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    you'll be happier.
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    I wasn't happy.
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    I didn't want to be poor like father when I frew up.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    I knew I wanted to be more successful than my father.
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    Call me when you need more money.
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    Are you coming back for reunion dinner this year?
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    No, I'm not coming home this year.
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Yeah, a new job here. Maybe after the New Year?
  • 2:56 - 2:57
    We'll see?
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    I'm really busy now.
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    Ok, bye.
  • 3:35 - 3:36
    Thank you for coming, Mr Lin.
  • 3:36 - 3:40
    I found these letters saying that I've been donating money to the Community Chest.
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    There must be a mistake.
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    I'll coplain later. There's someone who'd like to meet you.
  • 3:44 - 3:45
    Come with me.
  • 3:50 - 3:51
    Thank you for coming, Mr Lin.
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    Your father had told us a lot about you.
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    Your father...
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    He always made us foget about our problems.
  • 3:57 - 4:00
    And reminded us about our dreams and hopes.
  • 4:00 - 4:03
    But the kids here, they all missed him.
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    He's the only one who could bring a smile to thier faces.
  • 4:07 - 4:09
    I remember there's this boy.
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    He was really depressed.
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    And he didn't go to school.
  • 4:14 - 4:15
    basically he'd given up on live.
  • 4:18 - 4:22
    But your father... He read to this boy regulary.
  • 4:22 - 4:25
    This boy has gown up to be a really useful person.
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    Your father could have retired comfortably.
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    He chose to continue working,
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    so he could help even more people.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    He was a selfless man.
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    It's just that...
  • 4:41 - 4:43
    He didn't tell anyone about his sickness.
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    Mr Lim, I've been trying to reach you.
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    This is for you, in recognition of your donations.
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    It has my name...
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    but, I didn't donate.
  • 5:01 - 5:03
    It's your dad.
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    He didn't want you to know.
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    This is from you.
  • 5:12 - 5:13
    This is from me.
  • 5:29 - 5:30
    Have a little hope.
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    You will be a GREAT MAN! Just Believe! :)
  • 6:02 - 6:03
    On my father's birthday,
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    I'll celebrate his life
  • 6:05 - 6:06
    as he would have wanted it.
  • 6:17 - 6:18
    I could almost hear him say.
  • 6:19 - 6:23
    Being rich is not about how much you have,
  • 6:25 - 6:28
    but how much you can give.
