I feel that as if you're beside me

Why aren't you eating?

It took me the whole day to make it

The whole day? It must stink now?

I don't care, you finish it

You really are not telling your parents?

They'll be worried about you

I'm not telling them,

because I don't want to worry them

But 10 years is such a long...

It's not the right time to talk about it now

Then let's talk about something

which is also not the right time

Do you have US$10?

HEY:

HEY:

We will register once you get out

Promise me

You will wait for me

"Waiting is painful, Forgetting is painful"

"But not knowing which to do is

the worst kind of suffering"

Hello there, may I sit down here?

Not really

I've noticed you haven't eaten anything

since this morning

You only drank coffee,

that's bad for your stomach

I ordered too much food, and I can't finish this

Could you help me eat it, if you don't mind?

C'mon, help me out here, okay?

C'mon, why don't you eat? Have some

I really don't have the appetite, thank you

Oh, I can order something else for you

Don't worry about it

I really can't eat anything now, thank you

I've been watching you since this morning

You had 5 coffees, didn't eat a single thing

You know this is very bad for your health?

If your parents see you like this

They will be extremely heartbroken

Why do you do this to yourself?

A perfectly nice home you abandoned

Rather sit around at a restaurant the whole day

Granny, why don't you take it home,

and please take a hike

You snubbing me

What? You want to hit me?

What have I done wrong?

I saw you looking all confused over here

And brought you something to eat

How ungrateful of you

Granny, I'm actually a convicted murderer

You're threatening me?

Pretending to be murderer

Your parents will be devastated

if they heard this

You take it back

Sorry, excuse me

Sit down, I'm not finished

It's still warm, eat some, or it'll be cold

C'mon

Have some

There's no rush, don't choke yourself

Just like my son

Waiting for someone?

If not, you won't be only drinking coffee

And looking at the door the whole day

Waiting for your girlfriend?

You're also waiting for someone?

I'm waiting for my son

For almost 11 years

When you came in this morning

I almost mistaken you as my son

11 years? Where is he?

If I knew, I'd go find him

I used to be a school headmaster

But I couldn't even handle my own son

He was always drunk and making trouble

I rarely saw him at home

But he called me up one day

And wanted to celebrate my birthday with me

He told me to meet here at this restaurant

So I waited here until it closed,

and he never came

Never went home either

As a parent, what could I do?

He asked me to wait, so I'm waiting

Driver, just wait here for a minute

Keep the meter running, I'd be back soon

"Not everyone could understand our choices"

"But I believe in your choosing"

"That is for the better"

Congratulations

Do you remember me?

Years ago,

my boyfriend and I saved up

for a long time to eat here

But we only had enough for one dish

And you treated us to some deserts too

You guys are getting married?

No

Can you help me return this to the man inside?

Okay

Your son must have his reasons,

he just didn't know how to tell you

Maybe he didn't want to worry you

You think he really

doesn't want to come home?

I also slept in the park last night

What can't you tell your own family?

Leaving without even saying one word

How'd it make us parents feel?

Try stepping in our shoes

and understand our concerns?

So, you'd tell your son everything?

Good or bad, even if it'd hurt him

You'd tell him, right?

If you're so sympathetic

Why don't you step into your son's shoe

And figure out why

he left without saying anything

Don't hit me again

You're very punctual everyday

Did Headmaster trouble you today?

No, the young man

kept her company the whole day

Headmaster, let's go

Thank you

Goodbye

Not goodbye, it's 'see you later'

See you later

Nobody knows where her son went?

He died a long time ago

Does she know?

She went crazy

This is her son

She's been handing these out to everyone

She went bald from chemotherapy

But she still wears a silver wig,

"Waiting is an awful desert"

"But I know you're with me

throughout this journey"

"And you're waiting for me

on the other side of the desert"

"Dad"

Telephone for you

Hello

I know, I'm trying hard already

Sure, let's have supper tonight

Oh Mom, Dad's medicine is on the cupboard

I've got to go now

See you tonight

Good morning, Headmaster

"Directed by Clement CHENG"

In all the time I've lived here

I have never seen

the place like this before

Every time I come home

I walking on the streets and would wonder

if the picture is real

This is a computer-generated dream

Of course it's fake

I think this world is full of fakes

just like both of us standing here now

it isn't real either

But they could start building

at any moment, actions are quick

Maybe it will soon become reality

"Counting on Hong Kong - Serving the Mainland

Facing the World"

Mr. Lee

Mr. Lee, are you 0k?

Do you need to go to hospital?

I'm fine, thanks!

I'll be ok in a minute,

thank you

No, you should go to the hospital

Trust me, I'm fine

I usually see my doctor in Hong Kong

it's safer

So Hong Kong doctors are safe...

but not the doctors here?

Oh, that's not what I meant

I never see any doctors here

You always eat take-out, it's so unhealthy

I cook myself,

let's bring the food and eat with you?

Eat with you?

"I'm having dinner with my kids

for the winter festival"

(Talking to older daughter) What's up?

Sure, never mind... Work comes first

How late will you be?

Call me when you're done

(Talking to younger daughter) Where are you now?

Still at work?

Should we go ahead and eat first?

Okay

I want you to have the winter festival dinner

with your mother in law

that's why I want to

have dinner with you before the day

it's Okay, I mean it

Work comes first

Okay

Dear, No need to rush home

your sisters are not coming

so I didn't cook anything

You too, Happy New Year

I am going to get through the costoms

Are you asleep yet?

Happy New Year

"Qianhai welcomes all benchmark enterprises"

"Together we build the future"

In all the time I've lived here

I have never seen

the place like this before

Every time I come home

I was walking on the streets and would wonder

if the picture is real

This is a computer-generated dream

Of course it's fake

I think this world is full of fakes

just like both of us standing here now

it isn't real either

But they could start building

at any moment, actions are quick

Maybe it will soon become reality

How long it will take?

Twenty years, thirty years

We can't see it until we die

"To the line, dare to do,

do it quick, just do it!"

"Innovation is the heart and soul of Qianhai"

Can I smoke?

Sure

I didn't know you smoke

I didn't before

I only started when I lived alone
