Pushing Hands 1992 by Ang Lee

  • 7:13 - 7:16
    Jesus, oh!
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    Oh God
  • 7:22 - 7:25
    No Metal in the microwave
  • 7:25 - 7:27
    No metal!
  • 9:45 - 9:46
    Martha, it's Robert
  • 9:47 - 9:48
    Just to let you know
    to keep an eye peeled
  • 9:48 - 9:52
    for the first reviews of
    your breathlessly awaited first novel
  • 9:53 - 9:56
    Word is, the Times is going to rave...
  • 9:56 - 9:57
    Talk later
  • 11:52 - 11:53
    Thanks
  • 12:02 - 12:03
    You look like shit
  • 12:04 - 12:05
    Where's Grandpa?
  • 12:06 - 12:08
    He's so cute with the headphones on
  • 12:09 - 12:12
    Hi Grandpa!
  • 12:14 - 12:16
    Do you think he remembers me?
  • 12:17 - 12:19
    Come on, it's a steal
    You've got to see it
  • 12:19 - 12:20
    You'll have your own room to write in
  • 12:20 - 12:23
    Grandpa can be out in the back chopping
    bricks or whatever he does out there
  • 12:23 - 12:25
    You'd never even know he existed
  • 12:25 - 12:26
    l wish he didn't
  • 12:26 - 12:28
    God, he's really getting you down
  • 12:28 - 12:30
    From the way Alex has acted
    for the last 7 years
  • 12:30 - 12:31
    you'd have thought
    he didn't have a father
  • 12:32 - 12:34
    And then boom, a month ago
    this showed up on the doorstep
  • 12:34 - 12:35
    l haven't written a word since
  • 12:36 - 12:38
    Well, Alex has got
    to get him out of here
  • 12:38 - 12:39
    lt's not that simple with Alex
  • 12:39 - 12:41
    and frankly we can't afford
    to buy another place
  • 12:42 - 12:43
    let alone a mansion
  • 12:43 - 12:44
    Of course you can
  • 12:44 - 12:46
    especially if your mother's offer
    is still good
  • 12:47 - 12:49
    Alex will never accept money from her
    you know that
  • 12:49 - 12:50
    Work on Him!
  • 12:50 - 12:53
    For God sakes, Martha
    you have a lot to learn about men
  • 12:53 - 12:55
    And you have a lot to learn
    about husbands
  • 12:57 - 12:57
    Sorry
  • 12:58 - 13:00
    lt's okay. l'm getting a dog
  • 14:14 - 14:15
    Hi Alex!
  • 14:17 - 14:19
    Smells good Good Jimmy
  • 14:20 - 14:21
    Grandpa, l'm home
  • 14:21 - 14:23
    How's my boy!
  • 14:25 - 14:26
    What's that?
  • 14:26 - 14:28
    lt's a book l made for you
  • 14:29 - 14:30
    Animals that change
  • 14:32 - 14:33
    One day
  • 14:33 - 14:36
    l saw the most weird thing
  • 14:36 - 14:40
    lt was a turtle, a fish and a rat
  • 14:41 - 14:44
    They were in a puddle of potion
  • 14:45 - 14:46
    They grew
  • 14:48 - 14:51
    They destroy the universe. The end
  • 14:55 - 14:56
    Jeremy gets some ideas
  • 14:57 - 14:59
    Come on. Let's clean up for dinner
  • 15:03 - 15:06
    Dad, you shouldn't eat so much fat
    at your age
  • 15:08 - 15:09
    How are you today?
  • 15:09 - 15:10
    Did you watch those tapes
    l rented for you?
  • 15:10 - 15:11
    Terrible!
  • 15:12 - 15:13
    l'll get you some Taiwanese tapes
  • 15:13 - 15:14
    They'll be just as bad
  • 15:15 - 15:17
    Well, what about
    some Hong Kong kung-fu movies?
  • 15:17 - 15:18
    The worst!
  • 15:18 - 15:20
    Their kung-fu's a joke
  • 15:21 - 15:22
    Dad! They're only acting
  • 15:22 - 15:25
    You're a Tai Chi professor
    They can't compare
  • 15:26 - 15:28
    Damn, l can't learn English
  • 15:29 - 15:31
    lt's a disgrace to go back
  • 15:32 - 15:33
    My life is going nowhere
  • 15:35 - 15:35
    Dad
  • 15:36 - 15:38
    it hasn't even been a month
    since you retired and came to America
  • 15:39 - 15:40
    Give yourself some time
  • 15:50 - 15:53
    Jeremy come here
    come here you little rascal
  • 15:53 - 15:54
    Come here
  • 15:57 - 15:59
    Come here, Jeremy. Get off the couch
  • 16:00 - 16:02
    l don't have time for this, come here
  • 16:05 - 16:06
    Whoa!
  • 16:06 - 16:09
    My precious young man
    running bare naked!
  • 16:10 - 16:12
    Let me see!
  • 16:12 - 16:14
    The future of the Chu family
    is depending on your little treasure
  • 16:14 - 16:15
    What does he think he's doing?
  • 16:15 - 16:16
    That's all right
  • 16:16 - 16:18
    Chinese elders must always
    reassure themselves
  • 16:18 - 16:19
    that their family name will go on
  • 16:20 - 16:22
    Come on Jeremy, upstairs with you!
  • 16:25 - 16:26
    She's afraid he'll catch cold
  • 16:27 - 16:28
    Kids aren't made out of paper
  • 16:48 - 16:48
    Thanks
  • 16:53 - 16:53
    Thanks
  • 16:56 - 16:57
    No, thanks
  • 16:59 - 17:02
    Why does this American woman
    only eat vegetables?
  • 17:03 - 17:04
    She's afraid of getting fat
  • 17:05 - 17:06
    Why am l not fat?
  • 17:07 - 17:09
    On this Earth
    there are two kinds of food
  • 17:09 - 17:13
    Cereal and vegetables are 'yin'
  • 17:13 - 17:17
    and meat is 'yang'
  • 17:17 - 17:19
    You must eat both to be balanced
  • 17:19 - 17:21
    and to be healthy
  • 17:21 - 17:23
    Alex, Linda came over today
  • 17:23 - 17:24
    Great
  • 17:25 - 17:26
    What's that supposed to mean?
  • 17:26 - 17:27
    Just great
  • 17:28 - 17:30
    What exactly do you have
    against her anyway?
  • 17:30 - 17:32
    So what if she was a Maoist in college?
  • 17:32 - 17:35
    From Maoist revolutionary
    to real estate baron
  • 17:35 - 17:37
    lf there's one thing worse
    than a communist
  • 17:37 - 17:40
    it's an ex-communist
    who has become a capitalist
  • 17:40 - 17:42
    Well, she's ready to do us
    quite a big favor
  • 17:42 - 17:45
    Oh no. She's trying to sell us
    a house again
  • 17:45 - 17:47
    What's she mumbling about? Nothing
  • 17:48 - 17:49
    Something about cigarette butts?
  • 17:50 - 17:50
    What?
  • 17:51 - 17:53
    Mommy said she wants to move out
  • 17:53 - 17:53
    Quiet!
  • 17:55 - 17:56
    Alex, l'm talking to you
  • 17:56 - 17:58
    Mommy, can l watch cartoons?
  • 17:58 - 17:59
    Here
  • 18:00 - 18:01
    put some meat on your bones!
  • 18:01 - 18:02
    l don't want it, thank you
  • 18:02 - 18:04
    Jeremy, finish your milk
    and you can watch TV
  • 18:05 - 18:06
    What did she say?
  • 18:07 - 18:08
    lf he finishes his milk, he can watch TV
  • 18:21 - 18:23
    American people teach children
  • 18:23 - 18:26
    everything's a deal, like doing business
  • 18:26 - 18:27
    You should at least
    take a look at the photos
  • 18:27 - 18:30
    lt's apparently a real steal
    lf children can't concentrate on eating
  • 18:30 - 18:32
    what else can they concentrate on?
  • 18:32 - 18:33
    Yes, father
  • 18:34 - 18:35
    And, these American cartoons
  • 18:35 - 18:38
    are only adding weirdness and violence
  • 18:38 - 18:40
    to this messed up world
  • 18:40 - 18:43
    for children? lt's just a mess
  • 18:43 - 18:47
    Our sages said... Dad, eat!
  • 18:53 - 18:55
    Don't get upset. l'm just afraid
    your dinner's getting cold
  • 18:56 - 18:57
    What has he been babbling about?
  • 18:57 - 18:59
    The violence in cartoons
  • 19:00 - 19:02
    How can he complain
    he's martial arts expert himself
  • 19:02 - 19:03
    lsn't that violent enough?
  • 19:03 - 19:04
    Would you cut it out? Both of you!
  • 19:05 - 19:09
    Just eat
  • 19:24 - 19:27
    You finish up. l'm going out for a smoke
  • 20:14 - 20:18
    ln America, you're so polite to kids
    You think so?
  • 20:18 - 20:22
    You don't treat kids as kids
  • 20:23 - 20:25
    lt's not so simple
  • 20:25 - 20:26
    lt's called democracy
  • 20:27 - 20:29
    No big and no little
  • 20:29 - 20:32
    l see, you understand America
    better than me
  • 20:36 - 20:37
    Chinese Time
  • 20:43 - 20:45
    Jeremy, stop playing
  • 20:46 - 20:47
    Come on, time for homework
  • 21:03 - 21:04
    Alex
  • 21:04 - 21:06
    The teachers' Putonghua is poor
  • 21:06 - 21:08
    ls his Chinese school any good?
  • 21:09 - 21:12
    Don't be too picky!
  • 21:12 - 21:14
    We only have one Chinese school
    around here
  • 21:14 - 21:16
    Every weekend
    Jeremy learns some Chinese
  • 21:16 - 21:17
    l can play basketball
  • 21:17 - 21:18
    and you get to teach Tai Chi
  • 21:18 - 21:20
    Thanks God for it!
  • 21:20 - 21:23
    Let's follow what they teach
  • 21:23 - 21:24
    Eh! Not like that
  • 21:27 - 21:30
    Dad, l've got some things
    to take care of
  • 21:31 - 21:33
    Jeremy, come on
  • 21:33 - 21:36
    Grandpa will teach you
    an old Chinese rhyme
  • 21:36 - 21:38
    On East West Street, North South Go
  • 21:38 - 21:41
    Outside the gate, a man bites a dog!
  • 21:41 - 21:43
    Grab the dog to hit a brick
  • 21:43 - 21:45
    Watch out
    that brick might bite the hand
  • 21:45 - 21:46
    Follow Grandpa
  • 21:46 - 21:48
    On East West Street
  • 21:49 - 21:50
    North South Go
  • 21:50 - 21:52
    Outside the gate a man bites a dog
  • 21:52 - 21:55
    Outside the gate a dog bites a man
  • 21:55 - 21:58
    a man bites a dog!
  • 22:00 - 22:01
    a man bites a dog!
  • 22:25 - 22:26
    Shit
  • 23:07 - 23:09
    Just one more sentence
  • 23:17 - 23:18
    Okay
  • 23:26 - 23:28
    How's your computer virus?
  • 23:28 - 23:29
    Almost killed
  • 23:34 - 23:36
    and when can l start reading
    your new book?
  • 23:38 - 23:40
    There is no new book, can't you tell?
  • 23:41 - 23:43
    Shit Alex, are as out of it
    as your father?
  • 23:48 - 23:49
    You don't know my father
  • 23:51 - 23:53
    l have spent every single day
  • 23:53 - 23:57
    in the same room with that man
    since he showed up here a month ago
  • 23:59 - 24:00
    Alex, it's impossible
  • 24:01 - 24:03
    He's taken over my work room
  • 24:04 - 24:06
    l just don't have the space to think
  • 24:06 - 24:08
    Not enough space?
  • 24:09 - 24:12
    ln China, this house is big enough
    for four families
  • 24:12 - 24:15
    Sure, but they'd speak the same language
    so they could talk to each other
  • 24:15 - 24:18
    Alex he hasn't learned
    one word of English
  • 24:18 - 24:20
    And what about you?
  • 24:20 - 24:23
    What have you done but make fun of him
    treating him with disrespect?
  • 24:24 - 24:25
    Alex, l tried
  • 24:25 - 24:27
    l'm his only son
    What do you want me to do?
  • 24:28 - 24:32
    You could at least consider moving
    into a bigger place. We can afford it
  • 24:32 - 24:32
    No
  • 24:33 - 24:35
    l don't see
    why we have to pay for his insurance
  • 24:35 - 24:37
    let him eat us out of house and home
  • 24:37 - 24:39
    when we can't accept a little loan
    from my mother
  • 24:39 - 24:43
    lt's not a little loan, it's a bride
    a big bride and you know it
  • 24:53 - 24:55
    You look a little freaked out here
  • 25:02 - 25:05
    Come on, let's go to bed
  • 25:18 - 25:19
    Good night Alex
  • 25:56 - 25:58
    Honestly Linda
    l don't know why we're here
  • 25:59 - 26:01
    Come on, let's explore
  • 26:10 - 26:11
    Father-and-son
  • 26:11 - 26:12
    Father
  • 26:59 - 27:01
    Sweep
  • 27:04 - 27:05
    Step back
  • 27:05 - 27:07
    Collect
  • 27:07 - 27:08
    Hook
  • 27:08 - 27:09
    Step out
  • 27:14 - 27:15
    Single whip
  • 27:18 - 27:19
    Play guitar
  • 27:21 - 27:22
    Lean
  • 27:25 - 27:26
    White crane spreads its wing
  • 27:28 - 27:29
    Left hand ward off
  • 27:29 - 27:31
    Right hand attack
  • 27:34 - 27:35
    Excuse me, are you the instructor here?
  • 27:36 - 27:39
    l teach the cooking class
  • 27:39 - 27:40
    My name is Chen and you?
  • 27:41 - 27:42
    What's your name?
  • 27:42 - 27:42
    Chu
  • 27:43 - 27:43
    Master Chu
  • 27:43 - 27:46
    Please, we're all friends here
  • 27:46 - 27:47
    Don't call me master
  • 27:47 - 27:51
    Mr. Chu, l don't know
    what our headmaster's thinking
  • 27:52 - 27:56
    my class is making dumplings, half-done
  • 27:56 - 27:58
    Some workmen just came in
    to do some repairs
  • 27:58 - 28:00
    we have to leave
  • 28:00 - 28:02
    l see you have plenty of space here
  • 28:02 - 28:03
    could we move in
  • 28:03 - 28:04
    just this once?
  • 28:05 - 28:07
    Dumplings can be moved in
  • 28:07 - 28:09
    but they can't be moved out
  • 28:09 - 28:11
    We've also got scallion pancakes
    and spring rolls!
  • 28:14 - 28:15
    Come on, let's help!
  • 28:16 - 28:17
    Thank you
  • 28:17 - 28:20
    Sink your chest
  • 28:20 - 28:21
    Stretch your back
  • 28:21 - 28:24
    lmagine a string pulling up your head
  • 28:24 - 28:26
    Sink lower your body
  • 28:28 - 28:29
    Master Chu
  • 28:30 - 28:31
    don't torture the child!
  • 28:31 - 28:33
    Look at all his weight
  • 28:33 - 28:34
    How can he 'sink his chest'?
  • 28:34 - 28:36
    Let him help me knead the dough
  • 28:38 - 28:39
    Oh, it's so difficult
  • 28:39 - 28:42
    Mrs. Chen, next week
    l'll help you make dumplings
  • 28:43 - 28:44
    Can l enroll?
  • 28:44 - 28:46
    Next week, no dumplings
  • 28:46 - 28:47
    but General Tso's Special Chicken
  • 30:01 - 30:03
    Master Chu, would you please demonstrate
  • 30:03 - 30:04
    how to emit force with Pushing Hands?
  • 30:05 - 30:07
    Okay, let's try Thank you
  • 30:22 - 30:24
    My God, would that hurt?
  • 30:43 - 30:46
    Hey, Mr. Chu, try me
  • 30:46 - 30:47
    You're too heavy
  • 30:47 - 30:51
    So your kung-fu can only go so far!
  • 30:51 - 30:52
    Okay
  • 30:53 - 30:57
    Mr. Chu, can you take the fighting away?
  • 30:57 - 30:58
    Don't you see these burners
  • 30:58 - 31:00
    and the boiling water!
  • 31:00 - 31:02
    lt's alright if Heavyweight gets burned
    but the dumplings!
  • 31:02 - 31:03
    lf you smash them
    what're we going to eat?
  • 31:04 - 31:04
    We'll eat roast pigging!
  • 31:06 - 31:07
    Oh, okay!
  • 31:15 - 31:18
    Far enough? l'm ready Master!
  • 31:38 - 31:40
    What! Haven't you any eyes to see!
  • 31:42 - 31:44
    Sorry...!
  • 31:44 - 31:45
    l don't mean you!
  • 31:45 - 31:47
    lt's your Master who wasn't looking
  • 31:47 - 31:48
    of all the directions!
  • 31:48 - 31:50
    Why did you throw Heavyweight
    right smack on the dumplings!
  • 31:50 - 31:52
    Excellent aim!
  • 31:52 - 31:54
    Okay! No dumplings today!
  • 31:54 - 31:56
    lnstead, we'll have sandy crab
    scalded noodle lump soup!
  • 31:56 - 31:58
    l'm sorry
  • 31:59 - 32:00
    lt wasn't on purpose!
  • 32:01 - 32:02
    lt was on purpose
  • 32:03 - 32:05
    Are you okay? lt was on purpose!
  • 32:05 - 32:06
    Got mad
  • 32:06 - 32:08
    ln front of all these people
    sooner or later
  • 32:08 - 32:12
    l knew you'd show off!
  • 32:12 - 32:14
    Sorry...!
  • 32:15 - 32:17
    Okay! Don't stand there with a red face!
  • 32:17 - 32:19
    Let's clean up!
  • 32:19 - 32:21
    Everyone helps!
  • 32:21 - 32:23
    No more Tai Chi Chuan!
    We'll make dumplings!
  • 32:24 - 32:25
    Come... Did you hear that?
  • 32:26 - 32:28
    Master says no more Tai Chi!
  • 32:28 - 32:30
    Let's move
  • 32:37 - 32:39
    Oh my, what's this shape?
  • 32:40 - 32:41
    Hold on. Let me see your hands. Filthy!
  • 32:41 - 32:43
    Men, all of you wash your hands
  • 32:44 - 32:45
    Use soap! No dirty hands on my dumplings
  • 32:45 - 32:47
    ls that clear? Quick...
  • 32:48 - 32:50
    Mr. Chu, sit!
  • 32:50 - 32:52
    Let the young people stand
  • 32:52 - 32:53
    Come and sit
  • 32:56 - 32:57
    Not bad
  • 32:57 - 32:59
    Thin skin, plump stuffing, nice twist
  • 32:59 - 33:00
    lt's nothing
  • 33:00 - 33:03
    Northerners like making things
    from dough
  • 33:03 - 33:05
    Are you from Peking? Yes
  • 33:06 - 33:07
    How long have you been here?
  • 33:07 - 33:08
    Just over a month
  • 33:09 - 33:10
    Are you used to it here?
  • 33:11 - 33:12
    lf l was
    would l be here messing around?
  • 33:13 - 33:15
    Watch what you're saying, l'm here too
  • 33:16 - 33:18
    l don't mean that
  • 33:18 - 33:20
    America is a world for young people
  • 33:21 - 33:22
    Are you also from Peking?
  • 33:22 - 33:23
    Do l seem like l am?
  • 33:24 - 33:26
    By your accent, yes;
    the way you look, no
  • 33:26 - 33:27
    That's right
  • 33:28 - 33:31
    1949, l went with my husband to Taiwan
    to escape the Communists
  • 33:32 - 33:34
    And Mr. Chen is... He's dead
  • 33:35 - 33:36
    His name wasn't Chen
  • 33:37 - 33:39
    Not long after we arrived in Taiwan
    he got liver cancer and passed away
  • 33:40 - 33:42
    l'm called Mrs. Chen
  • 33:42 - 33:43
    because of my second husband
  • 33:44 - 33:45
    Oh
  • 33:46 - 33:47
    and Mr. Chen?
  • 33:47 - 33:49
    He's dead too, just last year
  • 33:50 - 33:53
    Life and death, it's fate
  • 33:53 - 33:56
    Riches and rags are given by the gods
    You just accept it. Everything is destiny
  • 33:56 - 33:57
    Sure...
  • 33:58 - 34:01
    Earlier this year, l left Taiwan
    came to live with my daughter
  • 34:01 - 34:05
    Every Saturday, l bring my granddaughter
    here to study Chinese
  • 34:06 - 34:08
    Are you used to it here?
  • 34:08 - 34:09
    How did you put it just now?
  • 34:09 - 34:11
    lf l wasn't so bored at home
  • 34:12 - 34:14
    how could your Heavyweight
    have smashed my dumplings?
  • 34:14 - 34:16
    A computer couldn't have aimed
    more accurately
  • 34:16 - 34:18
    Destiny, it's all destiny
  • 34:18 - 34:19
    That's right!
  • 34:28 - 34:29
    What kung-fu!
  • 34:30 - 34:30
    What's the matter?
  • 34:32 - 34:34
    Since last year
    sometimes my right arm just gives out
  • 34:35 - 34:38
    when l pick up something a little heavy
  • 34:38 - 34:39
    lt's helpless
  • 34:39 - 34:41
    Have you seen a doctor? Yes
  • 34:41 - 34:43
    Chinese doctors, western doctors
  • 34:44 - 34:47
    accupressure, acupuncture
    herbal remedies, shots, medicine
  • 34:48 - 34:50
    l've tried everything
    but getting a spell cast on me
  • 34:51 - 34:52
    l'm just old
  • 34:53 - 34:55
    Mrs. Chen, l don't want to sound
    like a self-promoter
  • 34:55 - 34:59
    but practising Tai Chi will heal your arm
  • 34:59 - 35:01
    Okay, spare me!
  • 35:01 - 35:02
    Haven't l suffered enough in this life?
  • 35:03 - 35:05
    Practise? l won't be that stupid enough
  • 35:05 - 35:09
    No, when you practise Tai Chi
    your circulation and energy will flow
  • 35:09 - 35:11
    l've let go, l'm not holding on
  • 35:14 - 35:17
    Energy must be released to me
  • 35:17 - 35:20
    When its released there's no tension
    and one feels at ease
  • 36:56 - 36:56
    What's up?
  • 36:56 - 36:58
    The review, l can't find it
  • 37:12 - 37:17
    When you arrive at old age
    everything is quiet
  • 37:18 - 37:22
    There the gentle wind passes through
    the pine forest
  • 37:22 - 37:24
    15 minutes to practice Okay
  • 37:24 - 37:29
    When the moon is rising
    and shining on the mountain
  • 37:30 - 37:36
    l only want to go to the familiar forest
    l reply with a simple fisherman's song
  • 37:38 - 37:39
    Alex
  • 37:40 - 37:41
    Yes?
  • 37:41 - 37:43
    Does New York have a place
    to mat Chinese calligraphy?
  • 37:43 - 37:44
    Who's the present for?
  • 37:45 - 37:48
    You know, last week
    l smashed Mrs. Chen's dumplings
  • 37:48 - 37:51
    l was so embarrassed
    l want to give her this
  • 37:51 - 37:53
    l'm just afraid she'll laugh
    at my calligraphy
  • 37:53 - 37:54
    Come on Dad
  • 37:54 - 37:57
    we know you're good
  • 37:59 - 38:00
    What's the matter?
  • 38:01 - 38:02
    They've ignored the book
  • 38:02 - 38:04
    Just pretended it doesn't exist
  • 38:04 - 38:05
    lt'll be in next week
  • 38:06 - 38:07
    What's a matter with her?
  • 38:08 - 38:09
    There's no review of her book
  • 38:09 - 38:13
    Years from now
    we'll all be lying peacefully underground
  • 38:13 - 38:15
    What's the big deal?
  • 38:17 - 38:20
    Dad, when're we going? Coming
  • 38:23 - 38:24
    What is it?
  • 38:24 - 38:26
    A stomach cramp or something
    Nothing important
  • 38:26 - 38:28
    Do you want to lie down on the couch?
  • 38:37 - 38:37
    What's wrong with her?
  • 38:37 - 38:39
    A stomach cramp
  • 38:39 - 38:41
    Let me take a look. Make her lie down
  • 38:43 - 38:45
    Dad said he wants to take a look at it
  • 38:45 - 38:47
    He knows this kind of thing
    He does?
  • 38:48 - 38:49
    He's an expert
  • 38:57 - 39:00
    She's too tense
    something's wrong with her stomach
  • 39:00 - 39:03
    You're too tight
    Thanks for letting me know
  • 39:03 - 39:05
    Tell her to relax
  • 39:07 - 39:08
    Just relax
  • 39:31 - 39:33
    What happened? Mom!
  • 39:33 - 39:35
    Oh my god! Get away from me! Relax!
  • 39:36 - 39:37
    What did you do to her?
  • 39:37 - 39:39
    Her stomach's bleeding!
    Quick get her to the hospital!
  • 39:40 - 39:42
    l want to go too Jeremy, be good
  • 40:03 - 40:06
    You broke Mama
  • 40:15 - 40:17
    Jeremy wants a goldfish, right?
  • 40:17 - 40:18
    Here's a big tail
  • 40:24 - 40:27
    Big eyes and thick lips
  • 40:37 - 40:39
    And wings
  • 40:56 - 40:58
    What's Martha's condition?
  • 40:58 - 40:59
    Her stomach was bleeding
    She has to stay in the hospital
  • 41:00 - 41:01
    How's Mommy?
  • 41:02 - 41:02
    Oh
  • 41:04 - 41:06
    Mommy is all right
    She just needs a little rest, okay?
  • 41:12 - 41:13
    l didn't do anything to her
  • 41:13 - 41:16
    Her tension caused her stomach to bleed
  • 41:17 - 41:18
    l know that
  • 41:35 - 41:37
    Can l go to the hospital with you?
  • 41:51 - 41:52
    Dad
  • 41:53 - 41:55
    ls this the calligraphy you want matted?
  • 41:56 - 41:58
    Go take care of Martha
  • 41:58 - 41:59
    Don't bother about me
  • 42:18 - 42:20
    Can l have some macaroni
    and cheese please?
  • 42:23 - 42:25
    Wait until Sunday
    when your mother comes home, all right?
  • 42:55 - 42:57
    Master Chu Hello everybody!
  • 42:57 - 42:59
    Master Chu, they tell me
    your kung-fu is great
  • 42:59 - 43:02
    Last week, you barely touched Mr. Sung
    and you sent him flying
  • 43:02 - 43:04
    And you threw Heavyweight
    right on the dumplings
  • 43:06 - 43:08
    Nah, where's Mrs. Chen then?
  • 43:08 - 43:11
    l don't know. She's not coming anymore
    l'm the new teacher
  • 43:12 - 43:13
    Not teach? Yes
  • 43:13 - 43:14
    Why? l don't know
  • 43:15 - 43:16
    You can ask them
  • 43:17 - 43:20
    Her family's going to that other school
    north of here
  • 43:20 - 43:23
    lf you want to contact her, you can ask
    the principal about her telephone number
  • 43:24 - 43:27
    Okay, l'll go for my class
  • 43:28 - 43:31
    ls this General Tso's Special Chicken?
  • 43:32 - 43:35
    No, we aren't making chicken
    This is to make 'eoly ice'
  • 43:35 - 43:37
    'Eoly ice'? Yes
  • 43:37 - 43:40
    Oily rice. Oh yes, OlLY RlCE!
  • 43:45 - 43:48
    Hey, do you want us to bring the oily
    rice over so you can throw Heavyweight in?
  • 44:16 - 44:18
    Alex, will you make a call for me?
  • 44:20 - 44:23
    Mrs. Chen's family
    doesn't come here anymore
  • 44:24 - 44:25
    l still have to
  • 44:25 - 44:28
    give her the calligraphy
  • 44:35 - 44:36
    No one's home. lt's their machine
  • 44:39 - 44:41
    Yici Chen. This is Alex Chu
  • 44:41 - 44:43
    My Dad has a present to give your mother
  • 44:43 - 44:45
    Give us a call
  • 44:45 - 44:47
    at 287-0425. Thanks
  • 44:49 - 44:51
    How can you talk like that?
  • 44:51 - 44:52
    Like what?
  • 44:52 - 44:55
    l'm not going to the hospital
    with you to see Martha
  • 44:55 - 44:57
    Take me home to wait for the call
  • 44:57 - 44:59
    Relax Dad, they're not going anywhere
  • 44:59 - 45:00
    l can't communicate with Martha
  • 45:00 - 45:04
    You'll be there for hours
    and all l can do is stare into space
  • 45:05 - 45:05
    Okay
  • 45:07 - 45:10
    Hey mister, don't kid me
  • 45:10 - 45:11
    l never kid anybody
  • 46:35 - 46:38
    Hello... lt's me
  • 46:38 - 46:41
    Mrs. Chen?
  • 46:42 - 46:46
    Why weren't you at school?
  • 46:48 - 46:49
    Yes...
  • 46:49 - 46:52
    Don't listen to my kid. What nonsense!
  • 46:52 - 46:54
    lt's not a present
  • 46:55 - 46:58
    l'm still embarrassed
  • 46:58 - 47:00
    about what l did to your class last week
  • 47:05 - 47:07
    Okay. How about this?
  • 47:08 - 47:11
    Tomorrow at 1 1 :00, my son's going to get
    his wife at the hospital
  • 47:11 - 47:15
    We'll come by at 10:30

    Okay...
  • 47:20 - 47:22
    lt's nothing
  • 47:22 - 47:23
    She's a small stomach problem
  • 47:28 - 47:30
    Right, then
  • 47:31 - 47:33

  • 48:02 - 48:04
    Hello, Uncle Chu!
  • 48:04 - 48:06
    Not at all, welcome!
  • 48:06 - 48:07
    Mother, they come!
  • 48:08 - 48:08
    How are you, Yici?
  • 48:08 - 48:11
    Hi! Hi, Jeremy Hi, auntie
  • 48:11 - 48:13
    Why are you all guarding the door?
  • 48:13 - 48:14
    Come in, sit down!
  • 48:14 - 48:17
    Sorry, we've got to get to the hospital
    to pick up my wife
  • 48:17 - 48:18
    Oh, you can't be late then
  • 48:18 - 48:19
    ls your wife, all right?
  • 48:21 - 48:22
    What am l talking about!
  • 48:22 - 48:23
    She's getting out of the hospital
  • 48:25 - 48:26
    Mr. Chu, how are you?
  • 48:27 - 48:31
    Good, Mrs. Chen, at your new school
  • 48:31 - 48:33
    is there a cooking class?
  • 48:33 - 48:35
    Not until l showed up
  • 48:36 - 48:37
    There's a kung-fu class too
  • 48:38 - 48:39
    But it's only Karate
  • 48:39 - 48:41
    They don't have grace
  • 48:41 - 48:43
    Better than Tai Chi Chuan
  • 48:43 - 48:46
    they sound much tougher
  • 48:47 - 48:48
    but they can't throw anywhere near
    as far as you!
  • 48:49 - 48:51
    Dad, we'd better get going
  • 48:52 - 48:53
    l planned for you to stay for lunch
  • 48:53 - 48:54
    but you've got to get to the hospital
  • 48:54 - 48:56
    l won't keep you
  • 48:56 - 48:57
    for dinner
  • 48:57 - 49:00
    Next time Thanks and bye
  • 49:02 - 49:06
    Uh, you stopped by today to?
  • 49:07 - 49:10
    Ah! l forget
  • 49:11 - 49:12
    You shouldn't have. Thank you
  • 49:13 - 49:14
    l'm going to hang it up right away
  • 49:14 - 49:16
    lt's nothing
  • 49:16 - 49:17
    Drive carefully!
  • 49:18 - 49:19

  • 49:20 - 49:20
    Good bye!
  • 49:20 - 49:21

  • 49:24 - 49:29
    What's the rush!
    We didn't even get the scroll open!
  • 49:44 - 49:45
    Thanks!
  • 50:25 - 50:26
    Toothache?
  • 50:36 - 50:39
    There isn't much you can do
    But you sure have a lot of problems
  • 50:47 - 50:48
    Mr. Philips called
  • 50:48 - 50:52
    Jeremy received the lowest
    reading scores in the gifted class again
  • 50:52 - 50:54
    That school is too distracting for him
  • 50:54 - 50:56
    No Alex, we're too distracting for him
  • 50:56 - 50:58
    He's only responding
    to the situation at home
  • 50:58 - 50:59
    Then change it
  • 51:09 - 51:10
    What's your problem?
  • 51:10 - 51:11
    What's your problem?
  • 51:11 - 51:12
    l ain't got any problem
  • 51:12 - 51:13
    Get back in the car, Alex!
  • 51:14 - 51:14
    Shut up!
  • 52:16 - 52:17
    Great
  • 52:33 - 52:34
    Martha
  • 52:34 - 52:37
    What do you want? l go for a walk
  • 52:37 - 52:40
    A walk? l don't know
  • 52:40 - 52:41
    l don't want to see you getting lost
  • 52:42 - 52:42
    Smoking
  • 52:42 - 52:44
    You know, in a way
    l'm kind of baby sitting you
  • 52:44 - 52:49
    l'll just hang around, won't go far
    Do you understand what l'm saying to you?
  • 52:49 - 52:50
    All right. Go ahead
  • 52:52 - 52:53
    What do l care?
  • 53:06 - 53:09
    Oh Jeremy, where'd you get those?
  • 53:09 - 53:11
    Teddy gave them to me
  • 53:11 - 53:13
    Well go put them away
  • 53:15 - 53:17
    Go on. Go get yourself cleaned up
  • 53:19 - 53:20
    Dad
  • 53:26 - 53:28
    What're you looking for? Dad
  • 53:28 - 53:29
    Where's he?
  • 53:29 - 53:30
    Oh
  • 53:30 - 53:32
    Where's he?
  • 54:16 - 54:18
    ls he back? No
  • 55:13 - 55:15
    Did you check with the police?
  • 55:39 - 55:43
    Alex, l'm sorry
    l should've been more careful
  • 55:43 - 55:45
    But l'm... uh... with the book
  • 55:46 - 55:51
    ln some ways, your father is more and
    more like a child cooped up here with me
  • 55:51 - 55:52
    And l can't talk to him
  • 55:53 - 55:54
    l was trying to write
  • 55:56 - 55:58
    l had a feeling that
    he was gonna get himself lost
  • 56:00 - 56:02
    just like a kid
    trying to get some attention
  • 56:04 - 56:07
    l grew up believing
    you should care for your parents
  • 56:07 - 56:09
    the way they care for you
  • 56:11 - 56:12
    My father is a part of me
  • 56:13 - 56:15
    Why can't you accept that?
  • 56:23 - 56:25
    l know. l tried
  • 56:27 - 56:28
    Just leave me alone
  • 57:55 - 57:58
    Oh my god. You've found him
    Thanks God he's safe
  • 57:58 - 58:00
    We're looking for Mr. Alex Chu
  • 58:00 - 58:04
    Alex is still out
    looking for his father. l'm his wife
  • 58:04 - 58:06
    Okay. Mr. Chu, you take care of yourself
    All right?
  • 58:06 - 58:08
    Thank you very much officers
  • 58:13 - 58:16
    Alex is still out looking for you
    Are you hungry?
  • 58:17 - 58:18
    Thirsty?
  • 58:39 - 58:40
    You really should eat something
  • 58:46 - 58:51
    l'm sorry too. Alex is furious
  • 60:04 - 60:07
    Jesus How did you get so drunk?
  • 60:08 - 60:10
    Where did you go?
  • 60:10 - 60:12
    l was just walking around
  • 60:12 - 60:15
    and l lost sight of the church steeple
    my landmark
  • 60:16 - 60:18
    Policemen brought him back two hours ago
  • 60:20 - 60:21
    You're back, that's good
  • 61:05 - 61:09
    What are you doing?...
    What're you doing, Alex?
  • 61:09 - 61:10
    Nothing
  • 61:10 - 61:12
    l know this wall, it isn't thick
  • 61:13 - 61:15
    What are you doing?...
  • 61:17 - 61:18
    Mommy
  • 61:20 - 61:22
    Calm down...
  • 61:28 - 61:31
    Jeremy, Dad isn't feeling well
  • 61:31 - 61:32
    he'll be all right
  • 61:33 - 61:34
    Let me talk to him
  • 61:35 - 61:39
    Dad banged his head by accident
  • 61:39 - 61:40
    Do you need a band aid?
  • 61:41 - 61:41
    Okay
  • 61:49 - 61:53
    Jeremy... is the good one
  • 61:57 - 62:00
    who knows better than Mommy and Grandpa
    how to care for Daddy
  • 62:24 - 62:27
    l haven't seen you that drunk
    since the night we got married
  • 62:27 - 62:29
    That drunk? Yeah
  • 62:30 - 62:33
    Well, my head is clear now
  • 62:33 - 62:34
    What're you mumbling about?
  • 62:36 - 62:38
    l've made up my mind already
  • 62:38 - 62:39
    About what?
  • 62:40 - 62:42
    The old man has got to go
  • 62:43 - 62:45
    l'll send him
    to an old people's apartment
  • 62:48 - 62:49
    Are you sure?
  • 62:50 - 62:52
    l really don't have too much choice
  • 62:55 - 62:57
    l'll go tell him right now
  • 63:33 - 63:34
    Come in
  • 63:37 - 63:40
    Dad, why didn't you get up
    and exercise today?
  • 63:44 - 63:45
    Aren't you feeling well?
  • 63:48 - 63:49
    What's wrong?
  • 63:49 - 63:54
    l probably caught cold
    from being outside too long last night
  • 63:58 - 63:59
    l'm going to call a doctor
  • 64:00 - 64:02
    You've got important business at work
  • 64:02 - 64:05
    Don't waste your time on me
  • 64:05 - 64:07
    Come on Dad, cut it out!
    You're never sick
  • 64:08 - 64:10
    if you don't feel well
    it must be serious
  • 64:11 - 64:12
    l'll find a doctor for you
  • 64:13 - 64:17
    Why get sick now?
    The vital organs aren't in harmony
  • 64:17 - 64:20
    The circulation's blocked
    That's why l'm sick
  • 64:44 - 64:46
    Dad, Ma's been gone for so many years
  • 64:46 - 64:48
    and you've never wanted
    to look at her picture
  • 64:49 - 64:50
    l couldn't face her
  • 64:52 - 64:53
    Do you remember this scar!?
  • 64:56 - 64:58
    The day when the red guards
    came to our house
  • 64:59 - 65:01
    they knew they couldn't hurt me
  • 65:01 - 65:04
    so they took it out on you
    and your mother
  • 65:04 - 65:06
    l only had this one body!
  • 65:06 - 65:09
    ln protecting you
    l couldn't protect your mother
  • 65:10 - 65:13
    When they finally stopped their beating
    she was too gravely injured to survive
  • 65:14 - 65:17
    ln this one life
    l can never face your mother again
  • 65:17 - 65:18
    but l can face you!
  • 65:19 - 65:22
    lt's been so many years
  • 65:22 - 65:24
    why talk about it now?
  • 65:25 - 65:27
    l feel stifled
  • 65:28 - 65:29
    Let me tell you something
  • 65:29 - 65:32
    compared to loneliness
    persecution is easy
  • 65:33 - 65:35
    Look at how much hardship
  • 65:35 - 65:40
    and injustice l've endured
  • 65:40 - 65:42
    in the last 40 years
  • 65:43 - 65:46
    Their tortures only inspired me
    to perfect my kung-fu
  • 65:47 - 65:49
    To study the Soft lnternal Style
    of Strength
  • 65:49 - 65:52
    we pursue more refined states of being
  • 65:53 - 65:55
    with the loss of tension
    we attain concentration
  • 65:56 - 65:59
    And from that one
    we achieve carefree nothingness
  • 65:59 - 66:02
    but this is nearly impossible to attain
  • 66:04 - 66:07
    Yes, it's easy to have physical strength
    but inner strength is harder to practise
  • 66:07 - 66:10
    Go on, don't bullshit me!
  • 66:13 - 66:15
    Okay, l'll go call a doctor
  • 66:16 - 66:20
    Do me a favor
    and call the Chinese school principal
  • 66:20 - 66:22
    tell him l can't teach
    the class on Saturday
  • 66:24 - 66:25
    Okay. You'll go when you're better
  • 66:25 - 66:27
    l'm not going anymore
  • 66:27 - 66:28
    Why?
  • 66:29 - 66:32
    The students always want me to show off
    l hate that
  • 66:33 - 66:34
    Then what will you do on the weekends?
  • 66:35 - 66:38
    Why don't we change
    to that school north of here
  • 66:39 - 66:40
    You mean with Mrs. Chen?
  • 66:40 - 66:44
    No! They say it'll be good
    for Jeremy's studies
  • 66:45 - 66:47
    l heard they're much stricter
  • 66:49 - 66:50
    How about it?
  • 66:58 - 66:59
    So did you tell him?
  • 66:59 - 67:02
    He's sick. Caught a cold from last night
  • 67:02 - 67:03
    l couldn't tell him
  • 67:03 - 67:04
    l hope it's not serious
  • 67:05 - 67:05
    No, l don't think so
  • 67:06 - 67:08
    But l'd better take him to the doctor's
  • 67:11 - 67:12
    l've got a great idea
  • 67:12 - 67:14
    about what to do with him
    without hurting anyone's feelings
  • 67:16 - 67:17
    What's that?
  • 67:21 - 67:22
    Just be patient
  • 67:22 - 67:25
    Promise me, you'll be nice to him
    for the time being
  • 67:25 - 67:27
    Okay? Go on!
  • 67:38 - 67:41
    What? Nothing
  • 67:41 - 67:43
    Then why do you keep looking
    at your watch?
  • 67:44 - 67:45
    Nothing
  • 67:51 - 67:55
    Hello... yes, l am. Yici
  • 67:56 - 67:58
    How's the picnic? Thanks
  • 68:01 - 68:03
    Sorry for bothering you again
  • 68:03 - 68:04
    Yes, it's great weather
  • 68:04 - 68:06
    and great for a picnic
  • 68:07 - 68:08
    Unfortunately
    he doesn't have much energy now
  • 68:08 - 68:11
    lf he got sick again, it'll be trouble
  • 68:11 - 68:13
    Take a break
  • 68:14 - 68:17
    Say thank you to Chen Mama for me
  • 68:17 - 68:18
    Okay
  • 68:18 - 68:20
    Don't hang up Hold on
  • 68:20 - 68:22
    Who said l'm sick?
  • 68:23 - 68:24
    l didn't say sick, l said energy
  • 68:25 - 68:28
    No energy - means you need to get out!
  • 68:31 - 68:34
    My father says he's fine
  • 68:34 - 68:35
    he'd like to get some exercises
  • 68:36 - 68:39
    Let's use our plan then Okay
  • 68:39 - 68:43
    Okay, that's settled then
  • 68:43 - 68:43
    Bye
  • 68:44 - 68:46
    Right
  • 68:46 - 68:47
    How can it be healthy
  • 68:47 - 68:50
    to stay home all the time!
  • 69:08 - 69:10
    Ma, l've already had two
  • 69:10 - 69:10
    Have more
  • 69:11 - 69:13
    Here Yi-yi Thank you
  • 69:14 - 69:15
    Kids should eat more
  • 69:17 - 69:18
    Jeremy
  • 69:18 - 69:19
    No, thanks
  • 69:20 - 69:21
    Have more!
  • 69:21 - 69:23
    Help yourself, don't worry about him
  • 69:23 - 69:24
    Have another piece No...
  • 69:24 - 69:26
    There's lots of meat
  • 69:26 - 69:27
    no point is saving it
  • 69:28 - 69:30
    l have to leave some room for tonight
  • 69:31 - 69:32
    lt's the middle of the day
  • 69:32 - 69:34
    You're a big man!
  • 69:34 - 69:35
    Come on!
  • 69:35 - 69:36
    l haven't eaten since yesterday morning
  • 69:36 - 69:38
    l'm preparing for the dinner
    you're cooking tonight
  • 69:38 - 69:39
    You stupid one
  • 69:40 - 69:42
    Nonsense! Here
  • 69:42 - 69:45
    He's reaching middle age
  • 69:45 - 69:45
    he's afraid of fat
  • 69:45 - 69:48
    cholesterol, and high blood pressure
    Give it to me
  • 69:52 - 69:53
    Ma, again?
  • 69:53 - 69:55
    Yes, damn it
  • 69:55 - 69:56
    Can you give me a little massage?
  • 70:02 - 70:03
    Let me take a look
  • 70:04 - 70:07
    How can l let you do that?
  • 70:07 - 70:08
    lt's okay
  • 70:15 - 70:16
    Did you find the spot?
  • 70:16 - 70:18
    This is trouble
  • 70:18 - 70:20
    lf it's trouble, leave it alone No
  • 70:20 - 70:25
    There's too little flow
    and too much blood
  • 70:25 - 70:28
    This kind of problem
    is called Mid-Spring Paralysis
  • 70:28 - 70:32
    Now try to move the pinky toe
    on your left foot
  • 70:37 - 70:39
    Did you feel that subtle pain?
  • 70:40 - 70:41
    So, l was right
  • 70:41 - 70:43
    When this illness gets serious
  • 70:43 - 70:46
    you'll get a spasm under your knee
    sore waist
  • 70:46 - 70:49
    you back will give out
    your neck will tense up
  • 70:49 - 70:52
    you won't be able to lift your arm
  • 70:52 - 70:55
    and your muscles will be stretched
    between your armpits in one tight knot
  • 70:56 - 70:58
    Enough! ln a minute
  • 70:58 - 71:01
    you'll be looking right through
    at all my internal organs!
  • 71:01 - 71:02
    Let me see
  • 71:03 - 71:04
    lt's her right shoulder that's stiff
  • 71:04 - 71:06
    He knows!
  • 71:06 - 71:07
    He was rubbing your left hand
  • 71:07 - 71:08
    Shush!
  • 71:30 - 71:32
    lt's burning Burning?
  • 71:32 - 71:34
    Your meat, on the barbeque
  • 71:37 - 71:39
    Why don't you pay attention
    to your own business
  • 71:40 - 71:41
    Mr. Chu, thank you
  • 71:42 - 71:43
    l've just begun
  • 71:44 - 71:47
    You've got a complicated problem
  • 71:47 - 71:48
    lt would take over a year of treatment
    to get results
  • 71:49 - 71:51
    What a bother!
    Okay, don't break me apart
  • 71:53 - 71:56
    Jeremy, let's go play frisbee
  • 71:56 - 71:57
    Oh goody, goody
  • 71:57 - 71:58
    l would like looking
  • 71:59 - 72:01
    Don't go too far, you hear me?
    Okay
  • 72:12 - 72:14
    Mr. Chu, your kung-fu is so powerful
  • 72:14 - 72:16
    how do you manage
    to have such elegant calligraphy?
  • 72:16 - 72:19
    l'm ashamed to talk about it
  • 72:19 - 72:22
    My grandfather
    was a Ching Dynasty Scholar
  • 72:22 - 72:24
    my father was one of the founders
  • 72:25 - 72:28
    of the Nationalist government
  • 72:28 - 72:30
    My son is a Ph D in computer science
  • 72:30 - 72:32
    ln the middle of this line
  • 72:32 - 72:35
    there's worthless me
  • 72:35 - 72:37
    Fate and circumstances
  • 72:37 - 72:40
    pushed me to spend my life
  • 72:41 - 72:42
    practising martial arts
  • 72:42 - 72:45
    You shouldn't say that
  • 72:45 - 72:50
    l had bad health when l was a kid
  • 72:50 - 72:52
    l'm an only son
  • 72:52 - 72:54
    My family was worried
  • 72:54 - 72:57
    They took one of the doctor's advice
  • 72:57 - 73:01
    which is, and made me practise kung-fu
  • 73:02 - 73:04
    l couldn't take the rough styles
  • 73:04 - 73:08
    l could only take the gentle styles
    like Tai Chi Chuan
  • 73:13 - 73:16
    Who would have thought that
    a couple years later
  • 73:16 - 73:19
    l was completely vigorous and healthy
  • 73:20 - 73:22
    At 30
  • 73:22 - 73:25
    l won a national
    Tai Chi Pushing Hands Championship
  • 73:25 - 73:27
    Exercising the body
    and teaching students
  • 73:28 - 73:30
    That's a relatively simple
    trouble-free life
  • 73:31 - 73:33
    What's good?
  • 73:33 - 73:37
    Since the communist liberation
    l've been persecuted in every movement
  • 73:37 - 73:39
    Let's not talk about it
  • 73:39 - 73:42
    Teaching students has hurt me so much
  • 73:42 - 73:43
    Yes
  • 73:44 - 73:46
    Have you gone back to see your old home
    and relatives since Taiwan loosened up?
  • 73:47 - 73:48
    Last year
  • 73:49 - 73:51
    l went back but l don't have any
    close relative just a few nieces
  • 73:51 - 73:53
    and nephews
  • 73:54 - 73:56
    Still, a reunion with your family
  • 73:56 - 73:59
    it must have been a happy time
  • 73:59 - 74:00
    Not really
  • 74:03 - 74:06
    When l left, they weren't born
  • 74:07 - 74:08
    l felt like Santa Claus
  • 74:09 - 74:10
    giving so many gifts
  • 74:10 - 74:11
    None of them were born when l left!
  • 74:13 - 74:14
    Peking seemed to have
  • 74:14 - 74:16
    lost its flavor
  • 74:16 - 74:18
    the old warmth was gone
  • 74:19 - 74:22
    But l was very young
    when l left 40 years ago
  • 74:23 - 74:25
    maybe my memories are mistaken
  • 74:25 - 74:26
    Anyway
  • 74:27 - 74:30
    l don't know what it was
  • 74:30 - 74:32
    everything seemed unreal. l couldn't
    put my old and new impression together
  • 74:33 - 74:35
    Your impressions are not mistaken
  • 74:36 - 74:37
    Peking has changed a lot
  • 74:38 - 74:39
    ls that so?
  • 74:40 - 74:46
    When l talk with you, l feel closer
    to you than with my neighbors in Peking
  • 74:46 - 74:47
    Really?
  • 74:48 - 74:50
    Relax, don't move
  • 75:17 - 75:18
    Ma, you're still in one piece
  • 75:18 - 75:19
    You child!
  • 75:20 - 75:22
    We're going to take the kids up the hill
  • 75:22 - 75:24
    Don't go too far Okay
  • 75:25 - 75:26
    Don't leave us here!
  • 75:26 - 75:27
    l'm going with you
  • 75:27 - 75:29
    Ma, it's a steep climb
  • 75:29 - 75:29
    You won't make it
  • 75:29 - 75:31
    l'll take it slow
  • 75:32 - 75:34
    Come on! Let's get everything cleaned up
  • 75:34 - 75:35
    and put in the car
  • 75:44 - 75:47
    Let the young folks go ahead
  • 75:48 - 75:49
    You take it slow
  • 75:49 - 75:50
    No, l'm fine
  • 75:52 - 75:54
    How come your son-in-law
    didn't come today?
  • 75:57 - 75:59
    Gone... gone... a... way on bus...
  • 76:00 - 76:01
    business
  • 76:01 - 76:02
    lf he weren't away we wouldn't have you
    over for dinner
  • 76:04 - 76:05
    Don't mention him
  • 76:05 - 76:07
    He makes me angry
  • 76:07 - 76:08
    What about your daughter-in-law?
  • 76:10 - 76:11
    Ah... let's go
  • 76:21 - 76:23
    Chen Mama, it's too much for you
    Let's go down
  • 76:23 - 76:24
    Nonsense! Let's go!
  • 77:04 - 77:07
    Don't run so fast, wait for me
  • 77:08 - 77:09
    Hey!
  • 77:14 - 77:17
    The young are so energetic
  • 77:18 - 77:20
    They can't slow down. Let them go ahead
  • 77:20 - 77:23
    l'll climb slowly with you. Why not
    sit down and rest a bit
  • 77:31 - 77:33
    l'm old, useless
  • 77:33 - 77:35
    No one wants me
  • 77:36 - 77:38
    We're out for fun
    Why get mad at the kids?
  • 77:40 - 77:43
    How can you be so developed in kung-fu
    and not have any insight?
  • 77:44 - 77:45
    They set us up
  • 77:46 - 77:46
    Set us up?
  • 77:48 - 77:49
    Your precious son came
    to our house last week
  • 77:49 - 77:52
    and arranged for my daughter
  • 77:52 - 77:55
    to call and invite you
  • 77:56 - 77:58
    They thought l was taking a nap
  • 77:58 - 77:59
    but l heard everything
  • 78:00 - 78:01
    Can't be?
  • 78:01 - 78:02
    How come
  • 78:03 - 78:05
    at our age
  • 78:06 - 78:08
    we don't have any self-respect?
  • 78:08 - 78:09
    Letting two children manipulate us!
  • 78:11 - 78:13
    What is this?
  • 78:16 - 78:18
    l'm old and useless
  • 78:28 - 78:32
    Son, thank you for your good will
  • 78:32 - 78:36
    trying to fix me up with Mrs. Chen
  • 78:36 - 78:38
    But we still have our pride
    No need to drive me out
  • 78:38 - 78:40
    l have the sense to leave on my own
  • 78:40 - 78:43
    You know the saying
    'lt's easier to struggle together
  • 78:43 - 78:45
    than to pass happy days together'
  • 78:45 - 78:46
    l never imagined
  • 78:46 - 78:49
    this would apply to us
  • 78:50 - 78:52
    ln China
  • 78:53 - 78:57
    we managed to stay happily together
    through so many bitter times
  • 78:57 - 79:00
    but here in America
    with so many fine material things
  • 79:00 - 79:02
    it seems there's no place
    in your home for me
  • 79:03 - 79:05
    Comparing the two
  • 79:05 - 79:10
    l can't help but recall the days
    when you were a small lovely boy
  • 79:11 - 79:12
    Don't look for me
  • 79:13 - 79:15
    Enjoy your life with your family
  • 79:16 - 79:18
    l wish you all the best
  • 79:18 - 79:20
    lf you have time
  • 79:20 - 79:22
    send my regards to Mrs. Chen
    and her daughter
  • 79:23 - 79:27
    The world is so big
    l'll find a little room
  • 79:28 - 79:31
    where l can spend my worthless old age
  • 79:31 - 79:33
    Life passes before one's eyes like smoke
    nothing but emptiness
  • 79:33 - 79:37
    One shouldn't set
    one's heart on anything
  • 79:37 - 79:39
    Father
  • 79:50 - 79:52
    Thank you, come again
  • 79:54 - 79:54
    Bye-bye
  • 80:05 - 80:07
    Please, faster
  • 80:07 - 80:08
    if l can't put out the soup
    my other dishes can't go out
  • 80:08 - 80:10
    l'll wash you a bowl
  • 80:10 - 80:11
    Sorry
  • 80:14 - 80:14
    Thanks
  • 80:16 - 80:17
    Old Chu, l beg you please, faster
  • 80:17 - 80:19
    Coming...
  • 80:22 - 80:24
    Why do you keep sending out
    the take-out orders?
  • 80:24 - 80:26
    There's guests at the tables
    with nothing to eat!
  • 80:26 - 80:27
    And a line around the block!
  • 80:27 - 80:29
    We can't put out the food
  • 80:29 - 80:30
    without dishes!
  • 80:33 - 80:35
    Yesterday at the employment agency
    you said you had experience!
  • 80:35 - 80:37
    More or less
  • 80:38 - 80:40
    l'm running a business to make money
  • 80:40 - 80:41
    not to invite you for dinner
  • 80:41 - 80:42
    What do you mean more or less
    This is less!
  • 80:43 - 80:45
    Yeah... don't get mad, l'm hurrying
  • 80:47 - 80:48
    You have to soak the honey banana
    ball plates in hot water
  • 80:48 - 80:51
    Don't just scrape them!
  • 80:51 - 80:53
    You break the plate, you pay for it!
    Yes...
  • 80:53 - 80:54
    Hey, Boss
  • 80:54 - 80:58
    Do us a favor, let's quit selling
    those dick-haired honey banana balls?
  • 80:58 - 81:00
    lt's hard for us to make and
    hard for him to wash. lt's not worth it
  • 81:00 - 81:02
    l'll decide if it's worth it
  • 81:02 - 81:04
    lf you don't like making them
    go work somewhere else
  • 81:05 - 81:07
    Just a good hearted suggestion
  • 81:07 - 81:08
    Thanks!
  • 81:09 - 81:10
    What are you three guys stuck here for?
  • 81:10 - 81:11
    Waiting for bowls
  • 81:11 - 81:13
    Can't you do something else
    while you wait?
  • 81:13 - 81:14
    Are your brain dead?
  • 81:14 - 81:15
    There's nothing else to do?!
  • 81:16 - 81:17
    Are the Mu Shu Pork pancakes steamed?
  • 81:17 - 81:18
    ln the steamer
  • 81:18 - 81:18
    The pickled cabbage is out
  • 81:19 - 81:20
    The wontons are boiling
  • 81:20 - 81:22
    the forks are cleaned
  • 81:22 - 81:23
    the tables are cleared
    the checks are paid
  • 81:57 - 81:58
    Chu
  • 81:59 - 82:00
    here's today's pay
  • 82:01 - 82:02
    Thank you
  • 82:03 - 82:05
    This isn't working out
  • 82:06 - 82:07
    Don't come tomorrow
  • 82:07 - 82:08
    l'll find someone else
  • 82:09 - 82:11
    Boss he's going okay now
  • 82:11 - 82:12
    Enough
  • 82:13 - 82:14
    No Problem
  • 82:15 - 82:16
    there were enough dishes
  • 82:16 - 82:17
    What do mean enough dishes, no problem?
  • 82:17 - 82:20
    lt was only after the dinner rush hour
  • 82:20 - 82:22
    that thing returned to normal
  • 82:22 - 82:24
    Don't be pleading for him
    because he's old
  • 82:26 - 82:28
    Lots of young guys
    would fight for the chance
  • 82:28 - 82:30
    to make 700 dollars a month
    washing dishes
  • 82:30 - 82:31
    Why should l have an old man?
  • 82:31 - 82:33
    l'm not running an old folks home
  • 82:33 - 82:36
    Boss, please give me another chance
  • 82:36 - 82:39
    We all have to start somewhere. Right?
  • 82:42 - 82:44
    Okay... One more chance
  • 82:44 - 82:45
    Thank you
  • 85:13 - 85:15
    ls Sargeant Warren there?
  • 85:16 - 85:19
    lt's Alex Chu... yes
  • 85:20 - 85:21
    No?
  • 85:26 - 85:28
    Thanks Sargeant. Bye bye
  • 85:49 - 85:51
    Linda. lt's Alex
  • 85:52 - 85:56
    Let's have a talk... about the house
  • 86:01 - 86:05
    Hey, congratulations on your review:
    A bold new voice in women's fiction
  • 86:05 - 86:06
    Better late then never
  • 86:06 - 86:09
    l'm really proud of you, although
  • 86:09 - 86:12
    it makes me feel like l should quit
    my job and become a painter
  • 86:14 - 86:16
    ln the meantime, all l do is eat
  • 86:16 - 86:17
    Maybe you're pregnant
  • 86:18 - 86:22
    Sure, if you believe
    in immaculate conception
  • 86:24 - 86:26
    l'm even thinking of going to my high
    school reunion to see
  • 86:26 - 86:28
    if there are any aging jocks
    still available
  • 86:28 - 86:29
    Linda
  • 86:31 - 86:34
    Well at least l have my work
    How's yours going?
  • 86:34 - 86:35
    Two chapters this week
  • 86:36 - 86:38
    Oh, more travails of study pioneer women
  • 86:38 - 86:41
    Actually
    l've written in a Chinese family
  • 86:41 - 86:42
    The father brought over to work
    on the railroads
  • 86:43 - 86:45
    Don't tell me you miss the old geezer?
  • 86:46 - 86:47
    Of course not
  • 86:47 - 86:48
    Runaway Grandpa
  • 86:48 - 86:50
    l'm gonna have nightmares
    for the rest of my life
  • 86:50 - 86:53
    imagining his face
    on the side of my milk cartons
  • 86:53 - 86:54
    lt's sad
  • 86:55 - 86:56
    And Alex...
  • 86:56 - 86:57
    He blames you, does he?
  • 86:57 - 87:01
    No, he's just anxious. l blame myself
  • 87:09 - 87:11
    How can l let you do this?
  • 87:11 - 87:12
    You'd better do your own work
  • 87:13 - 87:14
    Don't worry about me
  • 87:14 - 87:16
    Once l get busy
    l won't be able to help you anyway
  • 87:16 - 87:18
    Wu, thanks a lot
  • 87:18 - 87:20
    but everyone's got work to do
  • 87:20 - 87:22
    Don't treat me special. l'll manage
  • 87:23 - 87:26
    Chu, this is for you, l got someone
  • 87:26 - 87:28
    Boss, l've been doing all right
  • 87:32 - 87:34
    Eight bowls, five plates
  • 87:35 - 87:36
    it's only 6:30p.m.
  • 87:36 - 87:38
    You need those two to help you
  • 87:38 - 87:39
    What happens at 7:30
  • 87:39 - 87:42
    when the guests
    are lined up outside the door?
  • 87:42 - 87:45
    He didn't ask for help
    we volunteered
  • 87:45 - 87:46
    You volunteered, fine!
    He asked for help, fine!
  • 87:46 - 87:49
    l don't care
    l can't take any risks tonight
  • 87:49 - 87:51
    Liu go downstairs
    and get yourself an apron
  • 87:53 - 87:55
    Here's ten dollars
    take it or leave it
  • 87:55 - 87:58
    Boss, why do you have to treat
    an old man this way?
  • 87:58 - 88:00
    l'll wash faster
  • 88:01 - 88:03
    Not just faster but clean too!
  • 88:03 - 88:05
    Come on, cut the crap, go!
  • 88:05 - 88:07
    This is money
  • 88:08 - 88:09
    Have you heard that before?
  • 88:11 - 88:13
    Probably not, being from the mainland
  • 88:13 - 88:16
    l know everything's shared there
    working more gets you nothing
  • 88:16 - 88:19
    Four decades of such thinking produced
  • 88:19 - 88:20
    all you lazy bums
  • 88:21 - 88:23
    Who are you calling a lazy bums?
  • 88:24 - 88:25
    Eh? What's wrong? You don't accept that?
  • 88:26 - 88:28
    Then go back to China and live off
    your relatives. Go on!
  • 88:28 - 88:30
    No one's stopping you
  • 88:30 - 88:32
    l'm telling you, this is America
  • 88:32 - 88:34
    There's no communal property
  • 88:34 - 88:35
    You have to earn everything
  • 88:35 - 88:37
    yourself!
  • 88:37 - 88:39
    lf you want to be American
    then why don't you go all the way
  • 88:39 - 88:40
    and buy dishwasher
  • 88:40 - 88:41
    lt'll wash faster and cleaner
  • 88:42 - 88:46
    Yeh! l'm offering you ten dollars
  • 88:46 - 88:48
    because l respect your age
  • 88:48 - 88:50
    l'm saving face for you
  • 88:50 - 88:51
    if you don't want that
  • 88:51 - 88:52
    l'll throw you out!
  • 88:53 - 88:55
    See if you can
  • 88:56 - 88:58
    Don't think l won't touch you
    because you're old
  • 88:59 - 89:00
    Come try me!
  • 89:01 - 89:04
    lf you can move me half a step
    l won't say another word
  • 89:04 - 89:06
    l'll turn and leave
  • 89:06 - 89:07
    Don't
  • 89:13 - 89:14
    So the old geezer knows kung-fu
  • 89:15 - 89:17
    No wonder you dared
    be so arrogant with me!
  • 89:20 - 89:22
    Oww! Li, Wu, help me!
  • 89:23 - 89:24
    l'm not getting involved in this
  • 89:25 - 89:27
    Cooks, Chang, Chien, get over here!
  • 89:27 - 89:29
    Boss, this is none of our business
  • 89:30 - 89:31
    Do you want to keep working here?
  • 89:33 - 89:34
    Quick
  • 89:39 - 89:42
    Old Chu, don't get angry
  • 89:42 - 89:43
    but we've all got families
    to take care of
  • 89:44 - 89:45
    We'll just move you half a step, okay?
  • 89:46 - 89:47
    Then the business will keep going
    Everyone, thank you
  • 89:49 - 89:50
    Come on, careful now
  • 89:53 - 89:54
    Get him!
  • 89:55 - 89:56
    Liu, help out!
  • 89:56 - 89:57
    Wu, help!
  • 90:00 - 90:01
    Go and help
  • 90:22 - 90:25
    Chu, you're a hero. We can't move you
  • 90:25 - 90:27
    We brothers apologize
  • 90:28 - 90:31
    Boss Huang, we quit
  • 90:32 - 90:37
    Go find yourself some of those thick
    skinned types with big muscles
  • 90:37 - 90:39
    l can't take this
  • 90:41 - 90:43
    Hey, you can't all leave!
  • 90:45 - 90:47
    Okay! l'm calling
    every employment agency!
  • 90:47 - 90:49
    Don't think you'll work
    in New York again!
  • 90:50 - 90:51
    Fuck you You
  • 90:54 - 90:56
    All right tough guy!
    The business is closed tonight
  • 90:56 - 90:58
    But l'm calling the cops on you!
  • 90:58 - 91:01
    l don't have a green card
    You hired me illegally
  • 91:01 - 91:02
    They'll find you three thousand dollars
  • 91:03 - 91:04
    l'm telling you
  • 91:04 - 91:07
    l'll move you without the cops!
  • 91:17 - 91:19
    Thank you, come again
  • 91:46 - 91:49
    Grab him! He's like an eel
  • 91:50 - 91:51
    He's like a slimy fish
  • 92:13 - 92:15
    Yeah, l've seen this kind before
  • 93:15 - 93:17
    Ten police officers
    from the Fifth Precinct
  • 93:17 - 93:22
    were injured earlier this evening
    in a brawl inside a Chinatown restaurant
  • 93:22 - 93:23
    Helen Wong reports
  • 93:24 - 93:26
    Shirley l'm standing
    in front of the Lai Fu restaurant
  • 93:26 - 93:27
    The owner Frankie Huang
  • 93:27 - 93:31
    tried to fire his 70-year old dishwasher
    here earlier this evening
  • 93:31 - 93:33
    But Huang got more than he bargained for
  • 93:33 - 93:37
    Because the man he tried to fire Mr. Chu
    refused to leave the restaurant
  • 93:37 - 93:38
    Alex
  • 93:38 - 93:40
    Police said that
    Mr. Chu is a Tai Chi master
  • 93:40 - 93:44
    and he let lose a 1 30 pounds
    of martial arts fury
  • 93:44 - 93:46
    And hurt over
    a dozen of New York's finest
  • 93:46 - 93:50
    Now it appears that Mr. Chu's being led
    out of the restaurant by the police
  • 93:50 - 93:56
    and is being put into a squad car
    and taken to the precinct and be arrested
  • 93:56 - 94:00
    Reporting live, Helen Wong
    now back to you at the studio
  • 94:36 - 94:38
    He's been like this
    ever since he came in
  • 94:39 - 94:41
    The entire time he has been here
  • 94:41 - 94:44
    he hasn't said anything
    nor has he eaten or drunk anything
  • 94:45 - 94:49
    l tell you l don't know
    if he's meditating or sleeping
  • 94:56 - 94:57
    lf you don't mind me saying so Mr. Chu
  • 94:57 - 94:59
    it's... kind of depressing
  • 95:07 - 95:09
    l'll let you go in and talk to him
  • 95:09 - 95:10
    Thank you officer
  • 95:11 - 95:11
    Any time
  • 95:28 - 95:29
    Dad
  • 95:37 - 95:41
    Ah, attaining nothingness isn't easy
  • 95:44 - 95:45
    Dad, we've bought a new house
  • 95:46 - 95:47
    it's much bigger than the old one
  • 95:48 - 95:49
    What for?
  • 95:51 - 95:52
    l'm here to take you home
  • 95:52 - 95:55
    Home? Whose home?
  • 95:57 - 95:58
    My home is your home!
  • 95:59 - 96:02
    Forget it. l see clearly now
  • 96:03 - 96:06
    the only thing that matters
    is that you have a happy life
  • 96:06 - 96:09
    lf you want to show me
    some filial respect
  • 96:10 - 96:11
    get me
  • 96:12 - 96:16
    an apartment in Chinatown
  • 96:17 - 96:22
    Let me peacefully pass my days there
    disciplining my spirit
  • 96:23 - 96:25
    ln your free time
    bring the boy to see me
  • 96:25 - 96:27
    This way when we get together
  • 96:29 - 96:33
    there'll still be some good feelings
  • 96:35 - 96:39
    Dad
  • 96:40 - 96:43
    all these years
    l've studied and worked hard
  • 96:43 - 96:45
    and built my family
  • 96:46 - 96:48
    in order that one day
    l could bring you to America
  • 96:49 - 96:52
    so you could have some good days
    in your life
  • 96:53 - 96:54
    Dad!
  • 97:08 - 97:10
    Alex, can you give a hand up here?
  • 97:10 - 97:13
    Okay, coming up
  • 97:20 - 97:21
    ls this straight?
  • 97:22 - 97:23
    Lower in the left
  • 97:24 - 97:25
    Yeah, it's fine
  • 97:25 - 97:27
    Do you think
    he'll ever spend a night here?
  • 97:27 - 97:31
    Oh, yes. As long as Jeremy is here
    Grandpa will visit
  • 97:31 - 97:33
    Jeremy wants to be a Tai Chi master
  • 97:33 - 97:36
    Why didn't you ever learn
    any Tai Chi from your father?
  • 97:36 - 97:39
    You know, for Dad
    Tai Chi was a way to escape from reality
  • 97:40 - 97:43
    Even when he did pushing hands, for him
  • 97:43 - 97:45
    it was a way to avoid other people
  • 97:45 - 97:46
    Pushing hands?
  • 97:47 - 97:49
    Yeah, it's like Tai Chi for two
  • 97:51 - 97:53
    A way of keeping your balance
  • 97:53 - 97:55
    while unbalancing your opponent
  • 97:55 - 97:57
    Like marriage... only kidding
  • 97:58 - 97:59
    Okay, you stand like this...
  • 98:01 - 98:02
    Balanced? Yup
  • 98:03 - 98:04
    lf you try to unbalance me
  • 98:05 - 98:06
    l simply avoid your energy
  • 98:06 - 98:08
    and turn it back on you
  • 98:13 - 98:14
    Relax
  • 98:17 - 98:19
    Don't resist and don't break contact
  • 98:22 - 98:23
    Feel it?
  • 98:25 - 98:27
    Step out and collect
  • 98:28 - 98:31
    Moving up on left
  • 98:32 - 98:36
    Collect and moving up
  • 98:36 - 98:38
    Turn to right
  • 98:38 - 98:42
    Hugging your back
  • 98:42 - 98:45
    Hand down
  • 98:46 - 98:48
    Turn back and attack
  • 98:48 - 98:51
    Get back
  • 98:51 - 98:53
    Spread your legs
  • 98:53 - 98:57
    Get in
  • 98:58 - 98:58
    Squat down
  • 98:59 - 99:03
    Collect
  • 99:04 - 99:06
    Swing hands and step forward
  • 99:07 - 99:09
    Moving forward
  • 99:10 - 99:13
    Get in and spread your fingers
  • 99:14 - 99:16
    Step back and collect
  • 99:17 - 99:19
    Hook
  • 99:20 - 99:21
    Get in
  • 99:22 - 99:23
    Sweep
  • 99:26 - 99:27
    Turn hands
  • 99:29 - 99:30
    Single whip
  • 99:36 - 99:37
    Very good...
  • 99:40 - 99:42
    Relax, relax your whole body
  • 99:52 - 99:55
    Relax your hip and lower down
  • 99:57 - 99:59
    Relax...
  • 100:00 - 100:03
    Good, raise your arms up
  • 100:04 - 100:05
    Relax little
    and eyes looking in the distance
  • 100:06 - 100:09
    Mrs. Chen, long time no see
  • 100:09 - 100:11
    You've come a long way to buy groceries
  • 100:11 - 100:13
    No, not far. l live in the area
  • 100:14 - 100:15
    Your daughter moved?
  • 100:15 - 100:16
    No, l moved
  • 100:17 - 100:20
    That's great!
    Living on your own, you're free
  • 100:20 - 100:21
    You can do whatever you want
  • 100:22 - 100:25
    l just finished shopping
  • 100:25 - 100:28
    saw it was early
    and decided to stop by your class
  • 100:28 - 100:30
    How did you know l was teaching here?
  • 100:31 - 100:33
    Wow! Who doesn't know
    about the hero old Mr. Chu
  • 100:33 - 100:35
    famous all over Chinatown
  • 100:36 - 100:38
    The TV news showed that you knocked flat
  • 100:38 - 100:40
    a gang of American police
    and Chinese hoodlums
  • 100:42 - 100:43
    From what l can see if
  • 100:43 - 100:45
    Tai Chi Chuan
    could be practised upside down
  • 100:45 - 100:46
    the ceiling of this old age centre
  • 100:47 - 100:49
    would be packed with your students
  • 100:50 - 100:51
    You're making fun of me!
  • 100:51 - 100:53
    l'm speaking the truth
  • 100:54 - 100:55
    did you make a fortune?
  • 100:55 - 100:56
    No way
  • 100:57 - 101:01
    Every morning l come here
    and pass the time with the students
  • 101:02 - 101:03
    Anyway we old folks
  • 101:04 - 101:07
    have nothing but time to kill
  • 101:07 - 101:10
    l earn my own money
  • 101:10 - 101:11
    and don't take anybody's flack
  • 101:11 - 101:14
    That's why l always say
  • 101:14 - 101:16
    you can't hold everything inside
  • 101:16 - 101:19
    Sometimes you've got to lose your temper
    to straighten things out
  • 101:19 - 101:21
    The kids are grown up
  • 101:22 - 101:24
    lf we old folks don't
    take care of ourselves
  • 101:24 - 101:26
    who will?
  • 101:27 - 101:28
    You're right
  • 101:29 - 101:31
    ls your shoulder better?
  • 101:31 - 101:33
    Better?
  • 101:33 - 101:35
    At my age, l just thank the heavens
  • 101:35 - 101:36
    that it doesn't get worse
  • 101:37 - 101:38
    l don't know kung-fu like you
  • 101:40 - 101:42
    But is it convenient living alone?
  • 101:43 - 101:44
    lt's all right
  • 101:45 - 101:47
    My daughter comes to see me every two
    or three weeks
  • 101:47 - 101:50
    when she goes shopping around here
  • 101:51 - 101:52
    she cooks and eats with me
  • 101:53 - 101:57
    Uhhhh. That's good. Alex
    and his family do the same
  • 102:11 - 102:12
    You'd better take care of your students
    l'm leaving now
  • 102:13 - 102:14
    When you're free, stop by
  • 102:15 - 102:18
    We're neighbours now
  • 102:18 - 102:19
    Well, take care
  • 102:20 - 102:21
    You too
  • 102:48 - 102:49
    Mrs. Chen!
  • 102:51 - 102:52
    Why did you come out?
  • 102:54 - 102:55
    To see if you had left
  • 102:56 - 102:58
    The sun is so pleasant today
  • 102:59 - 103:00
    l was thinking, l'm just one person
  • 103:00 - 103:03
    l could go home or stay out
    both would be good
  • 103:03 - 103:06
    Anyway, standing here
    l got lost in thought
  • 103:06 - 103:07
    Where do you live?
  • 103:07 - 103:09
    l live in that building, number 1068
  • 103:10 - 103:13
    l live in that building, number 20101
  • 103:15 - 103:16
    Stop by for a visit sometime
  • 103:17 - 103:19
    Do you have anything
    to do this afternoon?
  • 103:20 - 103:24
    Uh... Nothing
