but to die for food?
That is for the birds!
Is it worth it?
There's truth to the saying.
But your life has been devoted
to the art of cooking.
What a pity to just let it go.
People today are so insensitive.
They can't appreciate
the art of exquisite dining.
Chinese cuisine
has traveled to Taiwan for 40 years.
And just like the rivers
that eventually flow into the sea...
It's all the same in the end.
Even a mess of slop can pass for
Joy Luck Dragon Phoenix!
What more can I say?
What is "pity"?
Only when a heart
feels dissatisfied can it feel pity.
Fortunately,
I don't plan on
wasting my whole life on this stuff.
Miss Chu...
please help me
to convince your father not to retire!
Dad, you plan on retiring?
It's his own business.
He can make his own decision.
Master Chu, are you thinking
of opening your own restaurant?
Bu sure to let me know,
I'll follow you!
I see that Mr. Chu worries a lot
about his daughters.
Isn't that parenting?
It's been so many years.
When did Mrs. Chu die?
When Jia-Ning was 4 years old,
about 16 years ago.
A widower usually has a short life.
Why didn't he remarry?
Maybe because of the children.
He needs to wise up.
He's raising his daughters for others.
Only the ones
nobody wants end up with you.
If you were so wise,
you wouldn't be
haranguing over my divorce.
And you shouldn't
blame Jin-Feng either.
What do you think of Mr. Chu?
What about him?
He seems like
a nice person and a great cook.
He doesn't talk much...
but we really connect.
I have a little announcement to make.
You know,
just like Jia-Ning, I...
You're pregnant?
Nonsense! Of course not!
But...
it's just that...
We just couldn't wait... he wants to...
But I'm a Christian.
We asked the priest
to marry us this morning...
Hold on!
He's waiting outside right now!
One second!
Come in! Come in!
Dad, Jia-Chien,
this is my husband, Chou Ming-Dao!
Hi.
Jia-Chien.
You scared me!
You're gonna be late!
What are you doing?
Packing Jia-Jen's things.
Let me help you.
I'm okay.
I loved this room when I was a child.
When your mom
wanted some peace and quiet...
...she also liked being in this room.
Mrs. Liang says
this room is airy
and has plenty of light...
...and it would be the perfect place
for an exercise bike.
Mrs. Liang?
I went to Jin-Rong's place last night
and told them Jia-Jen's news.
I'm running late.
I'll be back early from work.
Don't move any more stuff
until I get back.
Let me tell you...
Kids are creditors
collecting for the sins
of our past lives.
They know no compassion.
It's better off not having any.
Life is a boundless sea.
Only returning to shore is happiness.
Marriage is a source of sin.
A series of worries, disappointments,
misery, conflict and ingratitude.
I tell you,
every family has a book
of unspeakable problems.
I have a cause for celebration!
Jin-Rong's divorce decree
came through.
I should have it framed.
I want her to remember
her mother's words forever.
I warned her not to
marry that bastard!
I'll have this divorce decree framed
and hung on the bathroom wall.
You shouldn't worry so much.
Whatever will be, will be.
Instead of thinking
about those creditors,
why not think more about yourself?
Be careful! Watch your step!
Dad's really willing
to give the vase to me?
Not really.
But if you don't take it,
Mrs. Liang will.
What do you mean?
She's been here almost every night.
You're kidding.
I decided not to go to Amsterdam.
You okay? Be careful.
No problem!
He's not Christian.
Why did you agree to marry him?
He will be...
Welcome. Table for one?
I'm meeting someone.
Sure, help yourself.
Thanks for coming.
I thought you might not show up.
Why not?
The other night...
What kind of tea would you like?
What are you having?
Mountain tea.
Same for me.
Thank you.
You know, I understand
what you're going through...
...although I can't explain it.
Neither can I...
It's complicated,
but I can understand that.
Thanks.
your promotion.
Everyone's shocked.
I hope I wasn't a factor.
Not at all.
Well, maybe a tiny bit
I don't know.
It's a whole series of things;
A family wedding...
actually, two marriages...
And a really bad investment;
all of a sudden everything's gone.
Plus my father's health.
So I've decided to
stay with him for a while.
to try to change your mind.
But, what the hell?
It's just a job.
I'm glad, you know?
Glad?
That we didn't make love.
Not that I still wouldn't want to!
But seeing you like this
makes me happy.
I'm happy, too.
I think that we can be
really good friends.
Sure.
Then, good friends?
Good friends.
When you were a baby,
I'd spin this for hours.
You wouldn't let me stop!
Well, please stop now,
And I should go.
I told Dad
I'd help shop for Sunday's dinner.
Why did Dad send formal invitations?
Is it for Guo-Lun and Ming-Dao?
He said he has his own
little announcement to make.
Mrs. Liang!
Probably.
I think, unlike you and Guo-Lun...
...they won't rush their engagement...
so hopefully, he'll have
enough time to think it over...
...and realize what a nightmare she is.
But I don't think
he will fully recover
from the shock of recent events.
Had I known he'd go crazy,
I wouldn't have...
Don't blame yourself.
He's not going crazy.
He's an old horse.
Horses don't get married.
What do you think?
Over here, Ming-Dao!
Okay! Okay!
Don't just run around!
One of you chase it,
the other grab it!
Over here, Ming-Dao!
Coming!
Got it!
- Jin-Rong, Mrs. Liang.
- Grandpa Chu!
A tie for your father
and a bottle of good wine.
Also for your father.
You shouldn't have.
I should've been here earlier to help.
How's my pin?
Fine.
I hope we're not intruding.
No, not at all.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Come, a toast.
Come on...
Please help yourself.
Everyone, please help yourself.
It's a simple meal.
Please help yourselves.
Mr. Chu, you've prepared too much.
Winter Melon Soup.
Today's
Red Seven Star Fish was too big.
They're best at 2 pounds.
Listen to yourself! So picky already!
You'll never find a husband
when you grow up.
You girls are lucky!
Your father's a great cook.
Look at this wonderful cuisine!
Looks, smells
and tastes good. It's all here.
Jia-Jen...
You two, bottoms up!
Jia-Ning... You two, bottoms up!
Don't drink too much!
I'm fine!
Jia-Chien...
Bottoms up!
Fate has brought us
to this table tonight...
That's right!
Although we're not actually related,
...we're still considered family.
And since we're one big family...
there's really nothing
we can't say to each other.
I've kept this
inside me for a long time.
It wasn't as if I was trying to hide
any secrets from you...
I just feel that
