Maybe

Feng could also be my husband's.

What are you up to, so late?

Nothing.

Go to bed then.

Ok. I'll tidy up and go to bed.

Where did you get this?

Tell me.

Tell me!

Why don't you look at me when I talk to you?

Tell me the truth.

If you don't I'll call the police.

Please don't. A man gave it to me.

What man?

I don't know him. He insisted I have it.

Didn't I say don't take things

from strangers?

What if he's a bad man?

I have to work and

I have to worry about you.

That's a lot of pressure.

Why can't you be more responsible?

Stop crying.

I said stop crying!

You made a mistake, yet you cry.

Ok.

Stop crying.

Dad.

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

Kuang! Kuang! Hurry up!

What's the matter Uncle Fu?

What's the matter? They've blossomed!

What's blossomed?

Your pear trees! They've blossomed.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up!

Ok, ok.

Hurry up.

- Hurry! Hurry! - Wait for me.

Dad! Flowers. The pear trees have blossomed.

Wow! Blossom.

Yeah, blossom!

This time it'll really happen.

There will be fruit.

There will be pears. Right, Dad?

Yes. The blossom is healthy.

It's really promising this time.

There'll be pears.

Feng. There'll be pears.

Great!

Great! We can have pears!

From the court.

Dad, have you done something wrong?

What?

Be careful.

Teacher says watch out for con-men.

I got it.

Get on quick.

You don't want to be late.

Oh.

The leaves also look healthy.

I know.

You've all worked really hard.

Thank you.

You're talking to the trees again.

Does it work?

Fu, weren't you going to put up a fence

And divert the flies to Kuang's orchard?

Why haven't you?

Fencing it won't work.

We use pesticide here.

If that gets into his orchard

It won't be organic.

You're not drunk. What are you saying?

Or... do you want to go organic like Kuang?

Yeah, and I'll call Kuang Master!

The rice doesn't seem cooked.

The cooker may be breaking down.

It's fine. It's eatable.

Dad? How much is one pear worth?

About fifty or sixty dollars.

One tree can bear

more than two hundred pears.

We have more than three hundred trees.

Wow, dad! We'll be rich.

What do you want to do when you're rich?

Buy a new rice cooker.

Eat your food.

Hello.

I am Ying's...

I know.

I have received the court notice.

I'm sorry.

There's no other way.

It'd be better

if we didn't need to use the law.

Ying should have told you.

I won't change my mind.

I understand your anger.

She and I are at fault. We both hurt you.

I didn't know she was pregnant

but I will face up to the situation.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

You don't need to say sorry to me.

We really want the child back

but Ying said you'd never let go.

Why should I let go?

Feng is my son.

In that case, let him have a DNA test, ok?

No.

There is no need.

He's still yours.

I won't ignore your efforts in raising him.

If it's about money.

Just say so.

What money?

Who needs your money!

What do you think Feng is?

I won't sell the boy.

Are you ok?

Feng's dad.

Teacher, can I ask you a favor?

Yes, what can I do?

If any strangers come for Feng.

Can you stop them seeing him?

Ok.

Unless it's me

don't let anyone take Feng away.

Ok.

Even if it's his mother

she can't take Feng away.

His mother? Feng's mother?

Anyway, if anyone wants to take him away.

Please let me know immediately.

Ok.

I'm sorry.

Feng's dad? Are you ok?

Thank you teacher.

I'll go now.

I believe he must be my son.

Are we doing the right thing?

Are we pushing him too far?

Kuang looks very frail.

Kuang!

All family please wait outside.

Sir, let me change the bed for you.

Is Kuang ok?

I'm confused.

He is such a nice person.

I don't want anything to happen to him.

Don't think too much. Wait for the results.

Hello.

I am...

Teacher, she is my mom.

You've grown.

Dad and I are doing well

I know.

It's me who owes you and your father.

Can I touch you?

Dad is waiting for me. Goodbye.

Dad?

Ok, dad is fine. Don't worry.

I was just exhausted.

See? I have this chance to take a rest.

Wipe your tears.

Don't look too shabby.

Or people will say

I don't take good care of you.

Ok. I know.

I won't embarrass you.

Earlier, she...

She touched my face.

I understand.

Dad?

Today in school

I drew a huge caterpillar.

Pear asked me why I drew it.

I told her it was

because caterpillars are cute.

Have you told him?

I can't. It's difficult.

Dad?

School finished?

How was it today?

Pretty good.

Then I will talk to him.

Can he take the news about Feng's DNA test?

I can't wait any longer.

We need confirmation.

Without the test

the court can't make a ruling.

He can't refuse it.

Dad, do you want an apple?

Ok.

Dad, that's fine. I will take this for you.

You can eat the apple if we work as a team.

It's pretty sweet.

Feng.

Did you see your mom and her husband outside

when you arrived earlier?

Yes.

Dad?

Are you afraid of them?

Mr. Ho.

Dad, the seawater is so salty.

Where have you been?

I went to pick things.

Dad, listen.

I found a recycle yard nearby.

They have everything there.

I've made up my mind.

We will live here.

This way, they can't find us.

Did you always want to come to the beach

because of that postcard?

How did you know?

Did you think it's from your mom?

Is it really from her?

I don't know.

Dad, tell me a story. I want to sleep.

A long time ago,

in a forest,

there lived a parrot who could talk.

He had magic powers

so people wanted him

to grant them their wishes...

Yes, lawyer Wang. Ok.

No problem.

Ok,

we'll wait for your news.

Ok. Bye.

What did Wang say?

Where has he taken Feng?

I'm worried.

Where's my son?

I don't know.

Will he hide Feng forever?

I understand him.

He loves Feng.

Don't think too much.

We must find him.

I don't know him.

What if he hurts Feng?

I can only think the worst.

If we had...

Please!

Could you stop mentioning the past.

Boy! Stealing again! I'm calling the police.

They're only playing. Don't frighten them.

Boy!

What do you want?

Sir, I want to work. Can I have a job here?

I can move the fish crates, clean or cook.

You want to work? You're too young!

Get back to school and study hard.

There, take these fish.

Study hard or I will get

the police to take you away.

Thank you sir.

Feng!

What are you doing?

I don't have money.

Give me back my wallet.

Why do you beat him?

Go away.

Feng, leave.

You've bitten me! I'll kill you!

Leave! Go away! Leave.

Dad is here. Don't worry.

Feng.

Let's go back.

No, I want to stay with you.

If I'm not here.

What are you going to do when he comes back?

I'm sorry.

Your dad can't protect you.

No, you're just not well.

Get some air and some sunshine

eat some fish,

then you'll be better.

That's a "natural remedy".

Your dad is really useless.

Stop saying you are useless.

I'll do more recycling tomorrow

and get some money to buy food for you.

You think you can handle things now?

I don't.

Think you're grown up?

Can make money?
