"Hong Kong - Shenzhen Border"
Hoi Hoi
Hi, Daddy
HEY:
- Hello, you're here
- Qing
Let's go home
Oh, right
Here is your pay for the month Sorry I'm late
Thank you
When's your wife coming back?
Not so soon
Still another few months
Okay
Has she behaved well?
She has been good
My Mummy went to visit grandma in her village
Sweetie, you say that only to people
who ask about Mummy
Otherwise, don't talk about her to anyone, okay?
Okay
Ting Ting
Ting Ting
You should go back inside, I can finish this
Pass me the hanger
What if the neighbours saw you?
That wouldn't be good
No one can see me in the dark
Pass the hanger
What are you scared of?
I'm scared the neighbours will see you
No one can see me now
See?
Let's go inside
Can you hear it?
Fai
I can see you have eighty-five eyes
Only eighty-five? I can see ninety eyes from here
Okay, we gotta go now
Don't forget to buy rice
Hoi Hoi, behave well, okay?
- How much is this milk powder?
- It's three hundred dollars each
- So expensive
- I bought them from a supermarket in Hong Kong
What are you looking for?
I think I forgot the Hong Kong Hospital
Authorization Letter
- Are you sure?
- Why don't you see if it's in your bag
- I got it, it's here
- Don't scare me
One thirty-two
I'd like to book a hospital bed
for my wife's delivery
We are fully booked.
Can't you see the sign?
"This hospital STOPPED taking maternity"
"patients from Mainland China"
But I'm a Hong Kong citizen
What about your wife?
Mainland Chinese
We don't have a bed for her then
Where else can I look?
You can register at the health care centre
I've already registered
You need to wait then
One thirty-three
Fai, after you drop me off,
pick up a box of wine from the country club
Okay
I'm honoured to be hosting this event tonight
All the proceeds will be donated to the
China Better Tomorrow Children Fund
I truly believe every child deserves
a dream and a future
- What do you guys think?
- Very good
"deserve" or "need"?
- I like "deserve", it sounds more meaningful
- More serious
Rima
Yes, Ma'am
Where is the blue jacket?
Blue jacket...
l found it
- Mail this to Kate
- Yes, Ma'am
Hello, it's your mother again
If you don't call soon,
I will leave more messages to annoy you
Max, come here
Say hello, say hello to Kate
Hello Kate, we miss you...
- Like this, okay?
- Yes, Ma'am
Oh, Rima, you put the champagne into the fridge
- And make sure it is very cold
- Yes, Ma'am
How is everyone?
Hi honey!
- Have you had dinner yet?
- Yes, thanks
- Have a seat
- I'm okay, you sit
How was the wine?
Great! We've already ordered ten boxes
You have good taste
Come have a chat with me downstairs
You take your time
He doesn't need to think about it
Okay. Fine
I am in
Why can't you be more decisive
You're such a woman sometimes
Let's go sign the deal
Leaving already?
Can't you use a napkin, please?
All wiped
Bye-bye
Every day she spreads newspaper
all over the dining table
To use as a table cloth
The other day, my daughter asked me
while having breakfast
"Mommy, where is the newspaper?
I can't eat without my newspaper."
What am I going to do?
What if they pick up these
disgusting habits of her?
Don't worry, your daughter won't turn
into your mother-in-law
I am worried
But sending them to boarding school
is also a good option
Look at me, I'm so free
The damn horse won the last race
My boss bet a lot of money on it this time
Of course I went for it
My wife is going to kill me
I'm never gonna listen to your lousy tips again
Hey, will you lend me five hundred dollars
So I don't have to tell my wife I lost again
You do this every time
Hello
Okay, okay. Bye
It's really late, why aren't you home?
Excuse me, Mrs Li, your card didn't go through.
Should I try again or do you have another card?
Let me give you another card
Thank you
Excuse me, Mrs Li, but this one
didn't go through either
That's strange
How much is it?
- Let me pay cash then
- Sure
Thank you
Lulu
What the hell are you doing here?
I need to talk to you
Go outside
Hi
How are you?
You came all the way here to ask me how I am?
Well, how are you?
I'm good
I've been promoted
But I still work like a dog
That's good
You've always wanted to be the head nurse
What is it?
I wanted to ask you for a favour?
What favour?
I need a hospital letter
Are you sick?
I need it for Ting to cross the border
and give birth in Hong Kong
The girl in Shenzhen?
No dinner tonight?
Mommy, look what Daddy got me today
What's wrong?
Go play in your room
What's going on?
Have you been crying?
What's wrong?
I can't stand being in here alone any more
How much longer do I have to hide?
I'm going to cook some dinner
It's okay
Mrs Li
- Did Mr Li come to work today?
- I don't think so
What about yesterday?
Yesterday was my day off
Should I ask my colleague?
No need. Thank you
Jason
Are you out fishing?
Is your brother with you? I couldn't reach him
Oh, right. I forgot.
Whenever you're free let's have dinner
Sorry to bother you
Bye-bye
Ma'am...
Ma'am, are you okay?
Ma'am, I brought you some tea
- Have you seen sir
- No
Maybe they had a fight
Five cents, please. Thanks
Say thank you to auntie
Bye-bye
Mr and Mrs Chan
You are looking good
Thank you
I've prepared everything for you
It's the best hospital in Hong Kong
Where will we stay in Hong Kong?
We provide the full service
A car will drive you across the
border straight to the hotel
The hospital is only 5 minutes away from the hotel
We'll arrange transport for you
What about the birth certificate
Will there be any problems?
You don't have to worry about that
Our colleagues in Hong Kong will handle it for you
You're going to be a big brother soon. Happy?
He'll be the only one at school
who has a brother
He doesn't realize that yet
I don't care
Have you prepared the payment?
- Two hundred thousand
- That's right
Mrs Li
Mrs Li
I wanted to ask you something
My wife is about to give birth to our second child
That's great. Congratulations!
I'm applying for her to come to Hong Kong to give birth
Your wife is a Mainlander?
Yes
So...
I wanted to ask you
If it's convenient for you,
could you pay me a few months salary in advance?
I'd have to ask Mr Li if that's alright
I'll let you know soon
This fountain shouldn't be here
Where should it be?
In the middle of the room
to absorb more energy and wealth
Rima
You come
Move the tank over there
Please be careful, don't break it
You need to have some gold by the entrance
- What kind of gold?
- Gold elephants would be good
Around how big?
About this big
This side facing east is better
You should move your bed here for better result
I see
Remember to wear more purple clothes
It is good for both you and your husband
