" Juice" "Okay" "Rarely do I get to meet our top student here" "Not interrupting anything, am I?" "Nonsense" "A new female professor is teaching essay analysis in the Foreign Language department" "Have you chosen this course?" "No" "Why not?" "She lectures solely in English and listening to more English will make your life oversea easier" "Who says I'm going oversea?" "Then why work so hard?" "We don't study just for going oversea" "Ching-Mao" "My mother just went to your school" "Have you met her?" "I just sent her off" "I saw your mother crying in my home when I came back yesterday" "Go and see her" "Chi-Ming, how's the workload at your college?" " How do you find the time?"

" Taipei" "We're going to the same place then" " I couldn't believe it at first" " Why would I lie to you?" "You look so young for a mother of a boy" "I married young, turning 30 this year" "Must have taken good care of your body." "You look 26 or 27" "Such a jokester!" "What do you do for a living: a merchant or something else?" " Have a small business" " Oh" "Ma, why haven't we reached Taipei?" "Already you're getting impatient." "Told you not to come" "Mandarine, sir?" " How much is it?" " 5 bucks for 3" "Should be enough" " Have one" " It's too much" "One each" " Take one" " I can't accept this" "It's fine" "Don't be so formal" " Thanks" " It's nothing" "Little bro, have one" "No!" "Ching-Mao, don't be rude!" "Take it, brat!" " Have one" " I don't want your thing" "Take it!" " Ching-Mao, where are you going?" " Bathroom!" "Go see a doctor if you're sick" "Why keep looking at me?" "Looking at me won't cure you" "Brother and Sister Wu kept saying in Taipei" "You're welcome at anytime" "They got good doctors in Taipei" "It's not cheap and I don't want to be a nuisance" "Just wait and die if you're such a miser" "Give me some!" "Ching-Chang, give some to Little sis" " No!" " He never gave me any" "Go play outside" " I'll tell Papa you bullied me!" " Don't distress him" "Or I'll give you a beating!" "I dare you!" "What's all this racket about?" "Outside, you two" "So irritating" "Ma, where are you going?" "So dirty!" "Ching-Mao, wash your sister's hands" "Ma, I want to go with you" "Ma!" "Stay at home and Mama will be back with lollipops" "Mama never took us with her" "Papa, I'm going to buy a pencil" "Why are you here?" "For how long?" "The same time you got here!" "Ching-Mao!" "Ching-Mao!" "Ching-Mao!" "Ching-Mao" "Did you tell your Papa anything?" "No and I'm not going to" "He's sick so I don't want to distress him" "I'm the only one who needs to know" "Ching-Mao, you're most well-behaved in the family" "And Ma's favourite" "I still held you as you slept after your brother and sister were born" "You even said Ma was the prettiest in the world" "Remember?" "You're still Ma's favourite" "Don't cause trouble for Ma" "Then don't cause trouble for us" "Auntie Wu" "I have a request" "Please come to Jiayi" "I've something urgent to tell you" "Papa's life depends on it" "You must come" "Yours Ching-Mao Chu" "Auntie Wu" "Ching-Mao" "What's happened?"

"Why isn't she here?" "She went to buy grocery" "What a coincidence" "Today is Ching-mao's birthday" "Look at me, not even a present" "Yang-shian wants you to come to Taipei" "To have an examination" "So we'll know your condition" "See if a surgery is needed" "Can't keep going on like this" "I know it's incurable" "When did you get a medical degree?" "Can't get well by lying on bed all day" "Think of your children" "You can't have no regard for your health" " My sister!" " Don't "sister" me" "Heed to my advice" "If you respect me like your own sister" " Ma" " Ma" " Mama Wu is here" " Oh" "Big sis, when did you get here?" " I could have picked you up at the station" " I just got here" "Bo-Ni said you went grocery-shopping" "I did" "But I forgot to bring my purse" "You sit and I go get my purse" "Don't bother" "She is family" "Just have some noodles" "You came all the way" "Even help out in the kitchen" "I'm in the kitchen everyday" "A day without the kitchen" "Feel I've left something undone" "Once we women become wives and mother" "Must accept the life" "Do you still remember?"

"He is not well" "You need to make sacrifices" "Stay with him, at home" "I was by his side every day" "What else can I do beside this?" "Seems you don't even talk to him anymore" "The illness is tormenting him" "Don't make him angry" "You don't understand: he needs to rest" "I'm doing this for his own good" "Why would I make him angry?" "Ma, where's mine?" " You two wait" " I want noodles" "It's your brother's birthday" " The children can have mine" " No, you go first" "Ching-Mao, why ain't you eating your noodles?" "Come, you're 12 years old now" "Few more years, and Ma can retire" "Little bro, have mine" "I don't want it" "I even put an egg for you" " I'm full!" " Ching-Mao!" "Have it your way!" "Throwing tantrums the last few days" "And now being so insolent" "He can finish them later" "It's your fault, spoiling him like this" "Papa" "Are you going to see the doctor in Taipei?" "It won't better my condition" "But not going will make it worse" "Ching-Mao is right" "Listen to the child" "We can't prolong this any further" "Ma, I would like go with Papa to Taipei tomorrow" "Suit yourself" "You two already made the decision behind my back" "All passengers..." "I'll be going then" "Thanks for everything you've done for us" "I'll never forget it" "So does Ching-Mao" "Take care and don't stress yourself" "See you soon" "I still want to pay you two a visit" "Knowing the result, now I can prepare myself" "Everyone will leave this world, sooner or later" "Ching-Mao, take care of your father" "Don't forget to write" "Take care" "Papa" "When did you come back?"

"You bought them for me" "Let me try them on" "Just the right size and the style is not bad" "I couldn't afford them then" "And you remember!" "What did the doctor say?" "Ching-Mao, go back to your room" "Oh" "Tell me, who is that man?" "What man?" "Don't play dumb!" "You really think I don't know?" "You went to your tryst everyday" "I said nothing" "Hoping you won't over-doing it" "Now you even brought him to our home!" "I'm glad you know" "Why don't you berate me and kick me out of the house?" "I hate your cowardly looks, like a tortoise" "You don't even deserve a beating" "Slapping you is just insulting myself" "I want the children to have people's respect" "Wait for them to repay you then" "If you can live that long" "I don't need Ching-Mao to repay me" "But he will remember you're a terrible mother" "The children know nothing" "But you'd know" "Although I'm a mother" "But I am also a woman!" "Can't you at least wait?" "I don't have much time left" "I wonder how long you can last?" "Beat me, I dare you!" "Papa!"

"Auntie, I want to live with you" "You ungrateful brat!" " Who reared you?" " Papa!" "You!" "Don't touch him!" "Are you here to beat your son?" "Cause more trouble" "And I will ask you to leave" "Ching-Chung" "And you?" "Ma" "That's fine" "That's settled then" "We're not trying to rob you of your children" "Once Ching-Mao has grown up" "You can take him back" "We will not stop you" "Ching-Mao, let's go swimming" "I can't swim" "Come on, I'll teach you" "I don't want to" "Acting all uppity" "Eat our food, use our things" "Who do you think you're?" "Not even after I promise to teach you" "You're just like your mother" "So unlikable" "You!" "Ching-Mao, let go!" "Chi-Ming is at fault here" "How can you talk to Ching-Mao like this?"
