But, besides that

Feel free to look around

You know the origin of the jigsaw puzzle?

No

In 1 760

There was an English mapmaker

He stuck one of his maps

onto a wooden board

Then cut around the borders of the towns

And had his kids put it back together

When they were done

They knew where they lived, where home is

And that's the world's

first jigsaw puzzle

How do you know this?

It's over there

Origin of the Puzzle

You're silly!

It's written on there

And you memorized it?

My memory's good

Then...

Say it again

One day

He stuck a map onto some wood

And then

He cut out the borders of the towns

Piece by piece

And his kids put them back together

So

The world's first jigsaw...

Mom

Mom

You're not listening

Mei

If you're done eating, go to your room

I need to talk to your father

Let's go

We'll know tomorrow

if we win or not

What's wrong?

Do you think

The love between two people

can disappear?

Y es

What can be done?

I don't know

Stay with me a bit longer

This one's quite good

Yeah! nice colors

This one...

Not bad

You like this one?

No, no

It's ugly

I can't believe this one

'Roo' of Honor?

Let's go see class 3

So many people

Yeah, so many

Shawn!

Stop it!

Get him off!

Quickly!

Stop it!

Get out of the way!

Go away! stop crowding!

Mom

We're moving again?

He's come back

Here, help mom with this

We'll talk inside

Mei, stop that

Mei!

Mom and Dad

We...

Mom and Dad are getting divorced

Mom and Dad are getting divorced

Mei, you're 1 3

You understand, right?

Mei's 1 3, Mei understands

We spent a long time

Making this decision

This is best for everyone

This is best for everyone

This is between Mom and Dad

It's nothing to do with you

Don't think it's your fault

It's just that Mom and Dad

Can't live together anymore

We don't want to keep fighting

It's not fair to Mei

It's not fair to Mei

After the divorce

Mom will move out

You're in middle school now

You can decide who you want to live with

You don't have to make a decision now

And I won't move out right away

There's still a lot of things to sort out

We just thought

We should let you know

Mei

No rush

You can take your time

What are you doing?

So did you decide?

If Grandpa were still alive

They wouldn't be doing this

When did you last see the stars?

I don't remember

Let's go look at the stars

There's a truck!

What's up?

We're going to my Grandpa's house

Can we hitch a ride?

It's this way?

Y es

Hop on

Ride as far as you like

Thanks

Careful

Thank you

Bye bye!

When I was 6

My first day at school

This really embarrassing thing happened

Here

I took my lunchbox

And I went into the wrong classroom

When I was 8

I saw this girl playing piano on the TV

And I thought she was really beautiful

On my 9th birthday

I made my own birthday cake

It was a big green tea cake

When I finished, I thought it was ugly

But I took it to school

And my classmates ate it all

I didn't get a single bite

Last time I climbed this mountain

Was summer vacation two years ago

In this stream

When I played with Grandpa...

Am I talking too much?

No

You say something

I don't have anything to say

Impossible

Everyone has stories

from when they were little

I don't

Stingy

I'm not

You big stingy

I'm not stingy

Y es you are!

Hey!

I think it's this way

Looks like the path on the right

I think...

No one's walked that path for a while

But I remember it being on the left

You're sure?

Y es

It must be here

I remember these trees

Ah!

What's that!

It's nothing

Don't look, let's go

What shall we do?

Where are we?

Look!

There's a house!

Anyone here?

What?

I want to change clothes too

Didn't you bring any?

I'll go outside

Call me when you're done

No, don't leave!

I'm scared

Don't turn round!

OK:

You're still there?

I'm... I'm still here

Jay!

Pervert

Jay?

Yeah

Do you think, if we die

Out here in the mountains

When people find us

They'll say we died for love?

You're silly!

I said 'if"

We're not going to die

But your Mom and Dad

Must be really worried about you

Who knows...

Maybe they haven't even noticed I'm gone

That's not possible

One time, last year

They had a huge fight

And I wanted to come see Grandpa

I went to the train station

And sat there for ages

Finally, I went home

But when I got back

They were just in their rooms

With no idea I'd been gone

When I was 9

My dad had an accident in his factory

And lost his fingers

He stayed home every day, drinking

gambling

He started to hit my mom

He would grab her by the hair

and keep on slapping her

One day

My dad was drunk

He wanted me to drink with him

I refused

So he took all my awards

And ripped them all up

I couldn't help it, I started to cry

Then he started to hit me

He said I looked down on him

I didn't look down on him

I just wanted a normal dad

Why did I have to get a dad like this?

When my mom found out

We ran away from home

And moved far away

But not long after, Dad found us

So we kept on moving

And moving

And moving

You're actually lucky

Get up

Come on

Why?

Come here

Dance with me

I...

I'll teach you

Same this side

Kick, clap!

What dance is this?

I don't know

My mom learnt it from an old movie

OK:

Watch me first

Three steps forward

Turn!

Same this side

Kick...Clap...

Kick...Clap...

Three steps forward

Then like this

Good morning

Morning

Sleep well?

Yeah

Today we should follow the tracks

They should lead to the road

OK:

Jay

Yeah?

Thank you

Huh, here again...

Ladies first

You first!

No, you first!

You first!

I insist, you first

Let's go!

Almost there

You can tell by smelling the leaves

Trust me

Look!

Wait for me outside

Is that OK?

Sure

Jay

Come in

OK:

This is Grandpa's workbench

He made all of these

I painted these when I was little

This is my little desk

Here it is

When I was little

I came with Grandpa to look at the stars

Why won't the mist go away?

Give it time

I really hope...

You can see the stars

Mei

For this short time

I've been so happy

I never knew I could be so happy

Knowing you

Now I know

I can be lucky, too

When I get home

I have to move again

My dad, he...

Mei

Mei!

Your Grandpa's phone is cut off

I brought a cell phone

In my backpack

Sorry

I didn't mean to not tell you

It's just

If we used the cell phone

Our journey would have come to an end

Let's go home

Jay

Stay with me, OK?

Jay!

Jay!

Jay

Jay

Dad!

Mon!

Grandpa

Mei

I have a mom and dad who love me

Even though

they don't love each other anymore

I have classmates who care about me

Even though

they don't always understand me

Looking at my classmates walking away

I realized

Their summer was just starting

But my summer

Was already over

In my first year of high school

My mom and dad got divorced

A few years later

Mom went abroad and re-married

I chose to stay with Dad

At 1 3

We're very fragile

But at 1 3

We're also very tough

So

Before we have to face this cruel world
