Up The Yangtze Page #3

Whoa. Thirty. Thirty!

I'm so happy.

F***, 30 US dollars!

I can't believe it.

You did nothing

and she gave you 30 dollars!

They're out of their minds!

Now, since

I'm earning my own tips,

I've learned

how to handle rich people.

You have to know

how to use your eyes, right?

Normally I don't help

the elderly.

Even if they ask I won't go.

I would ask someone else

because I know that they're

the f***ing poorest.

They are the stingiest.

They only give two yuan tips.

What the f*** do I do

with two yuan?

If they're too young or too old,

they won't give tips.

The best are the middle-aged men

or women.

I earn the most.

F***, think about it.

My mom only earns

My father makes about 2000 yuan.

Actually less than that.

How's life on the boat?

Life is pretty good.

Do you eat meat everyday?

Everyday we always have

meat and vegetables.

Do they have television?

Yeah, there's television,

fans...

The tour guides' cabins

are even air conditioned.

Did you meet any friends

on the boat?

I've gotten to know

quite a few.

One of them is called Xie Juan.

Her English name is Yo Yo.

She actually treats me

pretty well.

We're always joking around

and laughing together.

She gives me nicknames.

Because I have darker skin,

she calls me

a little grey rabbit!

I don't know

whether to laugh or cry.

Do you feel homesick?

Yeah, I do. Everyday.

You still want to come back

and see us, right?

Yeah.

Girls should know

how to pamper themselves.

Will you blame me

if I hurt you with this?

What do you think?

You need to dress-up

so you're more pleasant

to the eye.

It's easier to be with them.

Is that right?

That's right.

I'm drawing you

to look like a panda.

You're laughing all the time.

Got to put on lipstick

to bring out the shape.

Now you look so womanly!

It'd be better

if you hair was longer.

You'd look like a doll!

Now smile.

Isn't that cute?

Please welcome Chen Bo Yu.

I dedicate this song to you.

Enjoy your vacation.

Thank you.

When the earth rotates,

it's a day

That means I'm missing you

for another extra day

Forever the same horizon

My heart

will never change

Love you for then thousand years

That love can overcome

all obstacles

Surpass the limitations of time

Bring closer

another part of the world

Stay with eacht other,

close together forever

I told Chen Bo Yu that if he

wants to learn I can teach him.

But he doesn't respect me.

I hate these types of people.

He's so arrogant.

He's like an actor.

Not someone who goes to work.

So we've never taken him

as one of us.

He's a superstar.

- Look at him.

- Just eat your food.

Don't make me choke.

Chen Bo Yu,

what are you thinking?

I'm asking,

what are you thinking?

I'm going to cry.

Self-criticism.

Heping and I carried suitcases to room 332.

As usual we went in,

put down the luggage

and said hello to the guests.

We stayed for several minutes

and the customer gave us

Then we left

and closed the door.

I didn't ask her for it.

I never said:
"You need

to give me some personal tips".

I never said this at all.

We closed the door and left.

She complained.

She complained and said

we asked her for tips.

I don't think

I'm suitable for this job.

I'm too arrogant.

I look down on everything.

I think I was born

with a silver spoon.

My parents

keep me in the future.

I'm very young.

I'm 19 years old.

This is their responsibility.

But Yu Shui is only sixteen.

We're different.

I come from a richer family.

I can continue my studies but

does she have the opportunity?

Can her family support her

to go to school?

Well, my family can.

First, when

the customer come in

you need to smile, got it?

Do you know how to smile?

A gentle smile?

You can't smile like that!

You have to be natural.

Not a silly smile.

Then let the guests

remember your name.

Your English name.

Introduce yourself to them.

My name is Cindy.

Do you know any tourist spots

along the Yangtze?

For example, do you know where

we are now?

No, I don't know.

From now on,

you need to know them, okay?

You have to work harder

and maybe later on

you'll be promoted to server

out here and earn tips.

The situation now

is that there's no way

I can get compensation

In the end it feels like

the rock I carried

has smashed my foot.

As a peasant who doesn't read

or watch television

I can't make any judgment on it.

I believe this business belongs

to the upper government.

Nobody cares about me.

Like people say,

"I'm like an illegal citizen".

Jerry, you've been here

for a while now, right?

Yeah, it's been

three months already.

The probation period.

So for

the three months probation

I think you've somehow

learned things and advanced.

However, in other words...

That means both your performance

and your capability

are below the standards

of our ship's requirements.

That means you will have to

leave our company

and find another job.

Over-confidence, self-conceit,

and self-centeredness

for a young man,

especially for a single child,

are the characteristics

you need to overcome.

That's how I feel about it.

Do you think the construction

is benficial to you?

There must be some benefits.

It's beneficial to our country,

but for individuals,

I don't think

it will do me any good.

- You carry this with you?

- Yeah.

- What's that?

- It's my clothes.

I can tell you are from Fengdu

from this.

I'm going to show you.

Come here.

Have you ever seen this?

This is the dam.

- Do you have a dam in Fengdu?

- No.

What's this?

This is part of

the Yangtze river

and the dam

cuts it into two pieces

and the dam

cuts it into two pieces.

This is what we call damming.

We did it back in 1997 and 2003.

Have you seen it on TV?

Yeah, but it's better

to be here myself.

Electricity is transmitted

through wires.

Maybe it goes to Fengdu.

I don't know.

I have no idea about that.

So these are all electric?

Yes, now it's all electrical.

Keep it low so

it's easier for me to lift it.

Don't you get it?

- There's a big crack here.

- Where?

Push! Yeah, push it forward

a bit.

- Do you want me to hold it?

- No, it's not necessary.

Here's our new home.

Before in the little hut,

even though it didn't look good,

you didn't need money

for vegetables or water.

Up here, you have to buy them.

Go and make your own bed.

I'm looking for

the palm mattress.

Stretch the corner a bit.

Our country is really strong

and prosperous now.

So strong and prosperous

that it can actually stop

the gigantic river.
