"It took me a long time to decide to come" "Are you free now?" "What is it?" "Thinking of inviting you home" "Don't get the wrong idea" "I need a favor from you" "Yes ?" "There is this child" "He has never met his father before" "Every X'mas..." "I lied to him that..." "His father will be home very soon" "It has been five X'mas past" "He still didn't see his father" "That's very strange !" "You quite resemble his father" "I was thinking..." "You want me pretending to be his father" "If it's inconvenient..." "No" "I have no plans as such" "Do I really look like him?" "Yes, very much" "Then you must have... a touching love story?" "No, just a simple story" "Long time ago" "There were a boy and a girl" "They grew up together" "They had some very happy moments" "Their parents were great friends" "But life... uncertain as it is;" "When she was seven years old ... her father passed away" "Leave me alone" "Li Na" "Remember!"

"Forget about it!" "I know it even if you didn't say so" "You..." "Xiou Fen, Xiou Fen" "What's wrong with you?" "Our two families have such good relations and this was their house at first" "Though they sold to us" "Why're you asking her to move just because... they missed two months rent ?" "This really pissed me off" "I didn't push her" "I just reminded her" "She still owes us rent for two months" "Why do you need to ask?" "Her husband was like my own brother" "He died and we compelled her to leave" "What will the people say?" "All right!" "It's all my fault" "Go ahead!" "Stay here" "As long as you like" "I wouldn't dare say anything" "Don't worry!" "I won't stay here a day longer" "Xiao Li, let's go" "Julie..."

"You knew my mom" "Don't mind her" "I wasn't" "But my mother is nagging all the time" "They used to be good friends" "What went wrong with their relationship?" "It's possible because you became more rich" "And we became more poor" "Forget about it!" "Next Sunday it's my mom's birthday" "We'll have a party at home" "Can you get off your work earlier?" "Ain't you scared your mom won't be glad to see me ?" "Oh, forget about all that" "It's my mom's birthday." "You'll have to come" "Young Master" "Julie is here, dad" "Uncle Zhou" "Where is mom?" "She is over there" "Mom, Julie is here" "Auntie Zhou" "You are here anyway !" "A couple of days back I did mention that..."

"It's fine that you date Paul" "But you need to give him time" "He has to entertain others" "Besides, the chairman Heng Fong Bank... really likes Paul" "It may be helpful to his... career and future" "Auntie, you mean..." "What I mean is ... you stop dating with Paul" "And of course I ain't never letting you get married" "Paul, I think you oughtta break up with Xiao Li" "So your mom wouldn't think we covet your money" "Auntie" "Enough!" "You know very clearly that... even if Xiao Li marries you, she will never have the happiness" "He is really here !" "Paul" "The daughter of Heng Fong's chairman... invites you to dinner" "Did you forget it?" "I don't want to go, mom" "Why?" "Because of her ?" "Xiou Fen..." "What's wrong?"

"You take it" "I have no money" "Take this to pawn shop" "No" "Take it!" "Get the money" "No" "Sister, how is my wife ?" "Oh yeah, a gentleman named Zhou... just settled your wife's hospital charges" "I told your father" "There is no other way" "It's the only way to help Julie" "We can go now" "Did your father pay for it?" "It's my fault" "Had I been capable..." "I wouldn't have needed my family's help" "Forget it" "While in the hospital I got thinking;" "You should go abroad to study" "Let's not fool ourselves, you know" "In these couple of months we've grown up quite" "Your father was right" "Love indeed is costly" "You need money to have it" "Be realistic!" "Paul" "When you complete your education... we'll have the money to build our dream house" "Are you all packed?" "When are you coming back?" "Dad wants me to concentrate on studies" "I won't be able to come back during holidays" "Reckon it'd be at least 4 or 5 years" "God !" "4-5 years... that's a long time !" "Would you wait for me ?" "What if there's a baby ?" "It would keep me company" "I will be lonely in the coming few years" "What happened to you after Paul left?" "For the 1 st year he wrote to me almost every day" "In his letters he wrote:" "he loved me and he missed me" "He couldn't live without me" "At that time," "I thought the world is so beautiful" "The next Fall our baby was born" "I embarked on the 2nd part of our journey" "I was planning to write to him ... about the birth of our baby" "Also let him know... our baby's name is Nien Tzu" "But his mother didn't want me... to disturb his studies" "She insists in not allowing me... to tell him about the baby" "For this reason..." "I haven't told him anything about our baby" "One year later, my mom passed away" "In this world..." "I was only left with a baby" "He is with me every lonely day... and every cold winter night" "Paul's letters got fewer  fewer by the year" "Until... finally was hardly any letter" "My boy was two" "I was still waiting for him at our place" "The Spring was over and Summer came" "The Fall left and the Winter was here" "The winter was almost gone" "I was still waiting for him" "Day after day" "One day the postmas did deliver a letter" "Paul had eventually written to me" "However who'd have imagined that... in the letter he said he couldn't deal with his family's pressure" "He got married with the chairman's daughter... of Heng Fong Bank" "He had asked me not to wait for him anymore ... and asked my forgiveness" "And our story ends right here" "I live up there" "Oh !" "It seems that you've begun to hate Paul Zhou?" "Earlier on, I did" "But soon I was fine after thinking it clearly" "We are just ordinary people" "If my family is rich" "I will go abroad to study" "Maybe I would be like him" "That engineer we met before; he was so right" "Everyone and everything in this world... are changing every second" "No one knows what will happen in the future!" "Consider me, for instance:" "I couldn't believe" "I would work in a night club... to support the two of us" "Why don't you tell him about the child?" "For what?" "I can't force him to marry me... just because of the kid" "I live on the second floor" "You've lived here... and awaited him for 6 years?" "Yes, I promised him" "I would wait here for his return" "We always make many promises ... when we were young" "Please come in" "It is big" "There are four families living here" "I live in the front room" "I'm going to change." "Have a seat" "That's him" "He is the child... who wishes to meet his father every X'mas" "Mr. Lo, thank you very much" "You're welcome" "Nien Tzu..." "Wake up!" "Your dad is home" "Dad?" "He is my father" "Are you really my father?" "Dad, please come with me." "Please!" "Come on" "Nien Tzu, Nien Tzu" "Please come out !" "My dad is home!" "Hurry up!" "I want to tell them that my dad is home" "Look!" "Brother Chung" "My dad is home" "He is my father" "It's great that you're home!" "Mr. Zhou" "Ms Julie has been waiting for a long time" "Yes" "Great!" "Uncle Chang, I got a father now" "Let's go!" "Go to play!" "Hurry!" "Sit here" "Papa, I missed you very much!" "Why did you take so long ?" "Didn't I tell you before?" "Your father is working abroad" "He only can come back when he is free" "Dad" "Please stay!" "Don't leave us again, okay?" "Mom cried many a time ... waiting for your return" "Please come with me!" "Dad" "Come on" "Get down!" "You know something !" "In fact, I begged Santa Claus ... every Christmas !" "I begged him to bring you back" "He really did it" "He's so nice, isn't he ?" "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Good bye" "Good bye" "Thanks a lot for helping me out tonight" "Your son is very cute" "But he has a miserable life" "Will his father come back?" "I don't think so" "If he didn't see you tonight... he would never know  what his father looks like!" "What would you do the next Christmas?" "I'll lie to him as before" "I'll still be in Hong Kong tomorrow" "I don't have any friends here" "If you don't have any other plan..." "I can come over  play with him" "How about it?" "You like Nien Tzu?" "Yes, I do" "Thank you" "I think he'll be very happy tomorrow" "Why are you so naughty?" "You made people wet" "What's wrong?" "Really annoying" "What are you doing?" "Dad, they hit me" "Don't bully the kid" "You want a fight?" "Go" "Great..." "Come on!" "Nien Tzu" "Come to have ice-cream" "Goody" "What a wonderful day!" "Mommy" "Had a great fight" "We got some new clothes and ice-cream" "I wish everyday could be like this" "Why?" "Because then I'll have a daddy forever" "Where are we going after the ice-cream?" "You..." "Oh yeah..." "Any other nice places in Hong Kong we could visit?" "There was this place 6 years back" "Though I wouldn't be so sure about it now" "It's nice" "Would you like to have a look?" "There is a garden" "Who lived here before?" "A hydraulic engineer lived here" "Do you come here often?" "This is the first time since 6 years ago" "Because I'd rather not remember the past" "I can remember that he is standing here" "Every word that he said" "No one knows... what will happen in the future!" "Even the same people;" "When you see each other again" "It's possible that you'd be total strangers" "It's a pity that you're not Paul Zhou" "Otherwise I will adore hi more for saying so" "I feel the same way" "I admire him for My understanding what's" "I wish he was still here" "I want to ask him... what's our future?" "Take it!" "Dad" "No, enough" "Eat it" "No, I don't want" "Oh please, I insist" "Good boy!" "Wait a second!" "I need to pee" "What are you thinking?" "Nien Tzu is so happy today" "But tomorrow..." "Would you blame me for disturbing your quiet life?" "Without you, he couldn't have had so much fun" "Why don't you find a father for Nien Tzu?" "Are you still waiting for him to return?" "If he wanted he'd already have returned" "Superman!" "I am Superman!" "There is a monster" "Nien Tzu..." "You'll fall down!" "Come on!" "Don't be naughty!" "Nien Tzu" "Mom, Dad is home after 6 years" "Why do we need to go home so early?" "It's 11 o'clock!" "It's late" "You need to take a shower" "Come on!" "Clean you up" "Turn around" "No, I want daddy to do it" "OK, let me do it" "Come..." "Wipe it dry and then put on the clothes" "Dry your hair or you will get sick" "After they finished the X'mas dinner" "Their father left them... when they were asleep" "The mother and son... continued to wait and wait !" "But the father never came back" "The end of story" "Will you leave when I fall asleep... and never come back?" "Please don't leave us!" "Dad" "We had such fun today !" "When you were not home..." "Mom and I used to be so pitiful" "Good boy!" "Nien Tzu" "Daddy leaves you... because of the work" "When I'm not home, ...your mom only got you" "You have to listen to her and love her" "Okay, dear ?" "Sleep tight!" "If you're gone tomorrow morning... when will you be back again?" "I don't know either" "Maybe one day you'll see me again" "Perhaps during one fine Christmas" "Or it could be that I never return" "Is he sleeping?" "Yes" "You still have to work?" "Perhaps I'll have more customers tonight" "Are you leaving Hong Kong tomorrow?" "Yes" "When will you come back ?" "Maybe next Christmas" "Or it could be that you never return?" "I don't know" "Well, that's life" "Who can predict the future !" "Like me" "6 years ago, I didn't know Paul would desert me" "Neither did I know that I'd meet you" "No matter what, I need to thank you... for making this Christmas so merry for Nien Tzu" "Guess he would never forget about you" "I'll also remember him for the rest of my life" "Jesus Christ is born!" "Merry X'mas" "Merry Christmas" "It's getting late" "You should go on board, right?" "Yes" "I'm going with you" "I'll walk you to the pier" "Ms Julie" "This money is my saving of many years" "I want to give it to Nien Tzu" "It can pay for his tuition" "I do it because I like Nien Tzu" "That's all !" "Thank you" "I reckon the money Nien Tzu borrowed from you... he can't return to you in the rest of his life" "Also..." "I believe you too used to borrow money from others" "The world is like that" "You owe me and I owe you" "However hard one tug it can never even up" "Okay, call it God's will... or just a matter of destiny" "We have to say good bye" "That's how it is in this world" "Come and go in a hurry" "Don't feel sorry!" "It's only a little part of your life" "You'll forget it very soon" "Julie, I need to take your leave" "It's likely I might never return" "But before I go..." "I want to tell you" "I'll remember these two days... for the rest of my life" "Also I'd forever remember" "You and Nien Tzu... are staying somewhere in the world" "The boat is here" "See you" "Good bye" "Do take good care of yourself" "Good bye" "The same old house and cold night" "The old feeling has gone with the wind... and there's no trace of my friend !"
