Hello

Hello, Grandpa?

Can I come stay with you

in the mountains?

When I was little

I lived in the mountains

with my grandparents

Grandpa used to say

Just look up at the starry sky

and the whole world will seem so vast

They're all modern French artists

Come any time

We have on-site commentators

No problem, just call me

I'll wait for you there

No, it's really progressive

Who buys old paintings these days?

Modern art goes up in value

Sure

Next time there's an auction, we'll go

Hello

Hello, Grandpa

Mei?

Are you on the train?

You went home?

I'm home

Mei

Grandpa's wondering

what gift to make for you?

Oh

An elephant

A blue elephant

OK. I'll bring it when I come visit

Grandpa

Come soon

I really miss you

Mom, what are you doing?

Travel stuff

I'm leaving in two days

I'll be back before New Y ears

Again?

Haven't started?

Waiting for me?

Let's eat

What do you think?

It's silly

You're wearing a hat at the dinner table?

Mei

Dad made sweet and sour pork

Mei

What's wrong?

My trip to Paris is cancelled

How come?

Come on, tell me what's going on

Can you just leave me alone?

Come back and finish dinner first

I need to be alone for a bit, please

Please get out of my room

Your room?

When did it become 'your' room?

When you put a bed in your study

What's that supposed to mean?

Let's not fight, OK?

It's not that serious

Yeah, it's never serious for you

it's always me...

Shall we finish the 'Starry Night' puzzle?

Mei, go back to your room

I'll be there in a bit

All of us?

Be a good girl

Go back to your room

Good girl

He's a bit shy

H is name is Jay

His last name is Chou

Jay Chou

He's joining our class

Let's all help him settle in

Let's give him a round of applause

You can sit there

Open up your books

Shawn

What chapter are we on?

I don't have my textbook

You confiscated it last time...

Through interacting with others

We can better understand ourselves

Discover our strengths and weaknesses

And gain a sense of balance

If we find our strengths

we can use them

Build our self-confidence

And unlock our potential

You there!

We're in the middle of a lesson

Where do you think you're going?

The bathroom

You didn't think to ask?

May I go to the bathroom?

He's so cocky

Hurry back

Everyone else

Pay attention, let's continue

Jay

I'm sorry

None of your business

Miss Chang

Jay's...

Jay's sketchbook

How should I put it?

It's not that the school doesn't value art

It's just that, some of Jay's sketches

Can lead to some wrong thoughts

For the other students...

You know schoolboys

They're very immature

They can't tell the difference

Between art and pornography

Just as long as you teachers can

Jay won't bring that sketchbook

to school anymore

Right?

You think you're cool?

Not so cocky now!

Kick him!

You asked for it!

Stop it!

Let Jay go!

Are you okay?

I'll survive

How many times have I told you

It is never OK to hurt a girl

Jay never hit me

Some boys were bullying me

Jay got hurt coming to help me

Totally shameless!

No way!
