"I've heard of you before." "Really?" "You major in piano, right?" "Right." "Why did you transfer to our school?" "Isn't your school good enough?" "Your school is more beautiful." "And... my dad made me transfer." " Hello." "Hello." "Classmates?" "Yes." "Your piano class is very well known." "Our music students all work very hard." "You look like you do too." "I'm alright." "Look over here." "This double storey building is the piano room." "Music students come here all the time." "It's beautiful." "This piano room has 100 years of history." "100 years?" "But on our graduation day it is due to be torn down." "Why?" "To build a new piano room." "Those of us graduating this year won't get a chance to use it." "Our juniors are lucky." "If you're free, come here to practice piano." "Sure." "Your school is really nice." "Want me to take you in to have a look?" "No, I'll have a look around myself." "But if I get lost, I'll shout for help." "Sorry." "Was that you playing just now?" "No." "But there's no-one else here." "Okay, it was me." "It sounded nice." "Thanks." "In the 19th Century there was a musical genius who became known as the Poet of the Piano." "Sorry, I'm late." "He was Chopin." "Why was he labeled a prodigy?" "What are you looking at?" "Pay attention in class." "Because he started learning piano when he was 6 years old." "When he turned 8, he was already able to perform in a concert." "An exciting and complete rendition of a Concerto to much public acclaim." "As to why he became known as the Poet of the Piano, that is because his works have been described as elegant, smooth and delicate." "Why are you following me?" "I'm not." "You're not?" "Goodbye then." "Actually, I have a question." "What's the name of the piece you played today?" "It sounded really good." "That is an unspeakable secret." "What sort of secret is that?" "What's your name?" "Haven't I told you already?" "I can hear you from miles away." "Let's go." "This is a school, not a place for you to pick up girls." "You don't pay attention in class." "I'm warning you, be careful." "Need a lift?" "How do you know if I'm going your way?" "Why is it raining all of a sudden?" "You didn't bring an umbrella?" "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Because anything I ask you, you say it's a secret." "Okay, which musician do you like?" "I like them all." "Do you like clear skies or cloudy days?" "I like them all." "Okay." "Your piano playing is pretty good." "It's superb." "It's superb." "Next time, play for me, okay?" "No." "Never mind, I will know sooner or later." "My house is coming up." "Okay." "Thanks, I can go in myself." "Thank you." "It's alright, I'll walk you." "No, its fine." "It might be a bit awkward if my family sees." "What's your name?" "I'm Lu XiaoYu." "I'm Yie XiangLun." "See you." "Aren't you making dinner tonight?" "Oh yeah... the groceries." "Come." " You're the best, Auntie." "I have it all prepared for you." "Don't worry about it, you can pay next time." "Really?" "Thanks." "You seem to be all smiles today." "Yeah." "Bye." "Ride carefully, bye-bye." "You're back." "Dinner's about ready." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, change." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." "Yie XiangLun, what are you looking at?" "Nothing." "Who are you looking for?" "Morning." "Morning." "Right, now the second question." "Let's see which student knows the answer." "Please raise your hands." "OK, Tong YouJu." "B, goes up by 2 tones." "Well done, please sit down." "Right, now the 3rd question." "The answer is A. It's the main note in the key of A." "Did you see 2 students come in?" "He's gone." "Fellow student, much appreciated." "I've never seen you before." "Are you new here?" "Yes, in the music class." "I'm Bao, and he's Lang." "We're in the rugby team." "He's the captain, because he's older." "Old?" "I gave my youth to rugby." "I chose to walk this long, hard road." "All because the school needed me." "Do you get it?" "Can you be a bit more serious when I'm talking." "Let's go, you think you're from music class?" "Remember to come watch us play next week." "We're leaving, bye." "The coach is such an idiot." "Moron." "He couldn't even find us." "Did I scare you?" "I'm scared." "Why weren't you at school this morning?" "I was practicing piano." "Why, were you thinking about me?" "Yeah." "Thinking about your music." "But I was thinking about you your music." "The weather's nice today." "The weather's nice today." "Come here." "Half-kneel." "Get down." "Quick!" "Let's go." "How many people are there in your family?" "My family?" "Just me and my mom." "How about you?" "Just me and my dad." "Just me and my dad." "You like copying people." "It's true." "Then what does your dad do?" "You don't know?" "How would I know?" "If you don't know, then never mind." "Why is that a secret?" "If you have secrets, so can I." "So tasty." "I've never had this." "Really?" "Then have some more." "Ice cream cheers." "Nobody cheers with ice cream?" "Then come watch it with me after class." "The competition is starting!" "Hurry or you won't make it." "Hey, you're supposed to keep the school, lively." "So many pretty girls." "Let's go!" "Today, our new student wants to challenge YuHao." "This is really bravery of the highest order." "A round of applause, everyone." "What are they doing?" "Dueling pianos, don't you know?" "Fellow students, do you know who I am?" "Mr. XueYao." "Very good." "The person sitting there is Mr. YuHao." "Does everyone know his nickname?" "Prince of the Piano." "That's right." "That is because there is no melody that he can't play and there is no-one good enough to be his opponent." "What's this 'Prince of the Piano'?" "Hey, move over." "Right, enough with the formalities." "The Dueling Piano Competition begins now." "Wow, from all black keys to all white keys." "New student, did you listen carefully to that?" "Don't even think of hitting a wrong note." "Huh, good show." "You really didn't miss one note." "It seems something harder is needed." "Chopin Waltz?" "Isn't this too easy?" "That's right." "I knew it wouldn't be that simple." "All together." "Hey, keep up." "I said keep up, not stand up." "(meaning the pace changes with the emphasis)" "He's so cute." "It's possible Chopin didn't even know about this section." "You people are too fortunate." "YuHao's improvisation skill, it's absolutely amazing." "New student." "That's my friend." "It seems that we're in for a good showdown today." "The dueling piano competition today has been brilliant." "Let's give both of them a big round of applause." "Okay, back to class now." "I keep my promises, take it." "That piano sheet is hard to find, you're really giving it to him?" "Thanks." "That was amazing." "It was alright." "Let's go to class." "You're strange." "Do you know that can cause heart attacks?" "You hungry?" "Very hungry." "It seems you like to scare people from behind." "That's because I like your back." "Your piano playing yesterday was pretty good." "You came?" "Sure, I just didn't want to distract you." "Whatever." "Even all the pretty girls there didn't distract me." "I will keep playing smoothly." "What?" "You angry?" "It was just a joke." "Why did you compete yesterday?" "Because of this egg." "That is an unspeakable secret." "You're a bore." "Hey, XiangLun." "This year, Bao and I are forming a band." "Your playing yesterday was pretty good." "I've kept a spot for you, what do you think?" "Okay." "It's decided then." "You've got to keep your word now." "What's this about keeping your word?" "Yie XiangLun, you come over here too." "Stand straight." "Stand straight!" "Who said that you could eat here?" "Does this look like a place where people eat?" "Would you jog at a restaurant?" "Why are your clothes untucked?" "What's this?" "What sort of belt is this?" "You think you're a rock star?" "Is this how you do a tie?" "If you haven't cut your hair by tomorrow," "I'll cut it for you." "The girls like it." "Do girls like this androgynous look?" "Do you have cigarettes?" "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." "8 cigarettes." "Can I have one?" "Let me light it for you, teacher." "Don't mention it." "It's been so long." "Yes." "You!" "Why do you have cigarettes?" "8 cigarettes. 8 laps." "Go!" "And you, what sorts of friends are these?" "Friends with cigarettes." "Go, leave." "You were going to scare me again." "Were they your friends?" "Yes." "But they don't look like it." "I don't look like your friend either." "It's just that you're so special and I'm so ordinary." "How can that be?" "I think you're really special." "I thought you were incredible from the moment I saw you." "Really?" "If you really think of me as a friend, you must tell me." "Why are you so mysterious?" "If you can catch me, then I'll tell you." "You like playing the piano with one hand." "Because this way, I can hold your hand with the other." "I distinctively heard a piano duo." "How can you be here by yourself?" "Perhaps I played too quickly." "That's why you thought there were 2 people here." "You students... really." "I'll pretend I saw nothing." "Keep practicing, got it?" "You see, as long as I play well, it doesn't matter." "Or rather, it's because my grades are good, and the teacher likes me." "That can't be." "The woman who Chopin loved the most, they were together for 10 years." "But in the end they were separated." "However, 10 years is already a long time." "Do you have something on your mind?" "I don't know." "Maybe I'll tell you one day." "Then you'll treasure the time that we had together." "Okay." "Let's go." "Where?" "Somewhere to treasure the time that we have together." "Super fast now." "Charge!" "Don't go too fast." "You're about to reach my house." "Really?" "Okay." "It's beautiful." "Do you want to go and have a look?" "Were you busy today?" "Why is it that only when I came home you started making dinner?" "Don't you think that this tastes good?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No, I went out with Lang and Bao." "Lang and Bao." "I knew it was Lang and Bao." "They are bad friends." "Do not keep these kinds of friends." "They smoke and don't listen to music." "Bad people." "People who don't listen to music are bad?" "Of course." "You're making it difficult for me." "Difficult?" "What's difficult?" "You are my only son." "I'm worried about you." "You know?" "Is this how you talk to your father?" "'Mmm'." "What is 'Mmm'?" "Alright." "Don't keep these friends." "Got it?" " Okay." "I'm full." "Are you on a diet?" "How many times do I need to tell you?" "Put the CD's back in their proper case." "You need to take more care in what you do." "Don't think too many silly thoughts, and live according to the rules." "And be..." " And be a normal person." "You know, dad's been listening to music for many years." "Young people should listen to music to prevent silly thoughts." "I haven't had any silly thought." "How long since you've listened to music?" "If I haven't been listening to music" "I wouldn't have to worry about putting my CD's back in their proper cases." "Yie XiangLun, wanna play some basketball?" "You guys go ahead." "I'll return it to you next time." "Okay." "See you, bye." "Bye." "ChingYi, I'm leaving." "Can you take me home today?" "On your bike, give me a lift." "Don't worry, it was just a joke." "Bye." "Bye." "Can you take me home today on your bike?" "You really like to copy people." "You're annoying." "What?" "I think there was someone who wagged school today." "Who says?" "I was just in the piano room, practicing." "I want to show you a place." "Don't you have any classes?" "If you don't want to go, I'll take ChingYi." "Let's go." "Don't be like that, you said yourself that you will only borrow it for 3 days." "It's already been 2 weeks." "My boss is going to kill me." "What?" "Alright, I'll see if I can find it." "This is my favorite song." "How is it?" "Does it sound good?" "Keep the change." " Thanks." "Hey, we're not going inside." "Over here." "Are you alright?" "It's asthma." "I'll be fine after I rest." "Don't scare me now." "That's why..." "I can't kiss a boy," "I can't hold hands," "I can't do anything too exciting." "Are you being serious?" "Just messing with you." "I feel better now." "I'll tell you a secret." "Okay." "I counted that there are 108 steps from the piano room to the classroom." "That's so pointless." "If it's so pointless, then there's no point talking." "Alright." "I've counted too from here to there, a total of 5 steps." "Oh, you know that too?" "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." "That's not a point you need to prove." "There's someone who likes these things." "The Swan." "It's so hard to find, I've been looking for ages." "The competition that day, was to get this for me?" "Yes." "You don't seem to have many friends." "Nobody likes me." "That's impossible?" "Then, do you like me?" "I like you." "Did you know that this place is going to be torn down?" "When?" "On the day of our graduation." "Then, do you want to learn the song that you heard on the day that you first met me?" "You really want to teach me?" "You finally want to play it for me?" "Wow, does it have to be played at that speed?" "I play it at that speed when I go home." "Okay, I can remember it." "Don't play that song in the old piano." "Why?" "Because it doesn't sound good on the old piano." "I thought you were thinking that because ChingYi plays there, you didn't want me to go." "I'll play a song for you." "Now?" "Not now..." "In the graduation ceremony, I'll play it for you." "Really?" "Promise?" "Aren't we a little too old for this?" "1, 2, 3." "Push!" "Hey, that's nice." "A gift from your boyfriend?" "I don't have a boyfriend." "Oh, no boyfriend." "(She has no boyfriend)" "Can you sign in my music book?" "Sure." "You guys were amazing." "It was alright." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Next week's the finals, see if you can come and watch." "Can we?" "Thank you." "No problem." "Yeah, so cool." "Bye." "Bye." "So fine..." "Yie XiangLun." "Men do not play these sissy games." "That's right, Yie XiangLun." "You guys are doing well." "Even the girls want your autographs." "This is quite normal." "When you're hanging with us, you need to get used to it." "I have something to ask you." "Ask, what is it?" "You study sports." "Have you heard of asthma?" "Are you stupid?" "Such a simple..." "Bye-bye." "Such a simple question." "It's a type of flu." "Rubbish, 'It's a type of flu'." "It's a type of sports injury." "Is it?" "Yes." "I'll ask someone else." "It's a type of sports injury?" "It is." "You're back." "When I'm not here you play quite well." "I just learned." "Under who?" "None of your business." "What sorts of food are good for the lungs?" "Food..." "Dancing." "Dancing is good for the lungs." "Rubbish." "What sorts of food are good for the lungs?" "Leeks will make you fart." "Dancing won't make you fart, but instead..." "Dance with me, and I will tell you, Okay?" "How about it?" "Dad, have you had enough yet?" "Almost." "So what's good for the lungs?" "An apple a day keep the doctors away." "Auntie gave us a bunch of apples." "Is that why it's apples?" " Yes." "Don't trick me." "Apple." "It's apple." "Why has it stopped?" "Hey, how do you turn this thing on?" "What else do you want to listen to, DaYong?" "It's time for class." "I'll play for you again next time." "That's a lot of apples." "Yeah." "Want some?" "Can I?" "No." "The number of apples is the number of days." "Look at how long it's been since you've come." "What's that got to do with apples?" "I brought them for you to eat." "Every day, I look like an idiot bringing a bunch of apples to school." "But you never came to class." "Why don't you give them to ChingYi?" "ChingYi?" "Okay, I'll do that." "I've got so many apples anyway." "What's wrong." "You're unhappy?" "When I'm not around, do you look at other girls?" "I do." "Fifteen others." "Help me take some." "[7:00PM Tonight." "See you in the Piano Room.]" "XiaoYu, XiaoYu." " What's wrong?" "XiaoYu ran away." "Where?" "XiaoYu ran away." "Yie XiangLun." "XiaoYu got angry." "Thank you, thank you." "Excuse me, can I ask..." "Are you alright?" "I'm fine." "Is there anything you want to say to me?" "I don't know what I should say." "I'm sorry." "Stop playing, I'm about to start crying." "Dad, can you cut it out." "What?" "Can you cut it out?" "Cut it out." "I just want some quiet." "What are you unhappy about?" "Tell dad, okay?" "Nothing." "I only have one son." "I care about you." "If there's anything that's making you sad, tell me." "I'll go make dinner." "No need to cook tonight." "Take a rest." "We'll go out to eat, okay?" "What do you want to eat?" "We're going out, going out to eat." "Cheer up, son." "Cheer up, son." "Don't be like this." "Stop pressing it." "Who are you looking?" "I'm looking for Lu XiaoYu." "Don't be so loud." "She's not feeling well." "She's sleeping." "You'll wake her." "Why isn't she coming to class?" "She quit school a while ago." "Her asthma's flared up, and she's resting." "Don't come looking for her." "But..." "ChingYi." "Hmm?" "Last time." "I'm sorry." "Don't worry, forget about the past." "[5 months later]" "Did you ride in today?" "No." "If you did, would you have given me a lift?" "Sure." "Abalone?" "Eat abalone." "We don't have abalone." "Do you want to just eat out?" "I've been waiting so long." "I'm so hungry." "The same again, right?" "Yes." "Okay." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Has things been alright lately?" "It's been fine." "Fine?" " Yeah, bye." "Ride carefully." " Okay, bye." "Don't you think old pianos are hard to play?" "Are they?" "It seems you like coming to this place." "Because there are a lot of memories here." "But on our graduation day this place will be torn down." "I know." "You're being very mysterious." "Am I?" "If there's anything on your mind, you can tell me." "Okay." "Can you take me home after school?" "You already bought this record before, right?" "Right." "Are you nervous?" "A little." "This is for you." "It will bring you good luck." "I'll give it back to you after the ceremony." "Okay, good luck." "XiaoYu, XiaoYu." "Can you not disappear again?" "Okay?" "Okay." "What are you doing?" "Wait for me in the classroom." "You've ruined my reputation." "Go back, now." "Absolutely crazy." "It really did bring me good luck." "Good what?" " Where did you run to?" "You only came back after it's all over." "Why isn't there anything?" "They all have scholarships, if it's not pens then it's rulers." "Look at that one." "Which one?" "Hello Yie XiangLun." "What are you doing?" "Helping you guys clean up." "Have a look, good stuff." "Don't say that I didn't look out for you." "This is for you." "Don't forget us." "Bye." "Did you see a girl in our room just now?" "A girl?" "Who is it?" "The one dancing with me at the club." "Dancing with you?" "Crazy." "From the beginning to the end, you were dancing by yourself." "I haven't even settled the score with you on that one yet, stealing my thunder." "Why weren't you at school this morning." "I was practicing piano." "I think there was someone who wagged school today." "Who says?" "I was just in the piano room, practicing." "The number of apples is the number of days." "Look at how long it's been since you've come." "The one dancing with me at the club." "From the beginning to the end, you were dancing by yourself." "Next time, if you don't have a partner, you can come find me." "What's your name?" "Haven't I told you already?" "I distinctively heard a piano duo." "How can you be here by yourself?" "[The coach is such an idiot.]" "You students... really." "I'll pretend I saw nothing." "I thought you were incredible from the moment I saw you." "[I am XiaoYu]" "[Where are you?" "]" "[I love you]" "[Do you love me?" "]" "Granny." "Granny." "Granny." "Is anyone there?" "Who are you looking for?" "I'm looking for Lu XiaoYu." "The gate's unlocked, come in." "Quietly." "XiaoYu's listening to music." "I don't know where she's gone." "This is her favorite song." "One day, she told me she met someone the same as her, a person who also liked this song." "Don't touch XiaoYu's things." "XiaoYu, mother should have believed you." "What?" "This was in 1979." "Lu XiaoYu was a 3rd year student in the music class." "Her piano playing was extremely good, and what's more, she was a very talented student." "But she had many silly thoughts." "XiaoYu." "Hmm?" "We've been sitting here for a long time." "Can you tell teacher why you've been crying?" "Teacher is already very tired." "Teacher, do you believe me?" "Of course, teacher believes XiaoYu." "However, I'm afraid that XiaoYu does not believe teacher." "Then, can I tell you about something?" "One day..." "He was the first person I saw." "Sorry." "That's why only he can see me." "Excuse me, can I ask..." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, I want to ask..." "Sorry, I'm late." "So he was actually in the same classroom as me." "What are you looking at?" "Pay attention in class." "[1997 January 18]" "Except, we were separated by 20 years." "Don't run." "97, 98, 99 ,100, 101,..." " What's she doing?" " I don't know." "...102, 103, 104, 105,..." "Because I wanted him to be the first person I saw I worked out the distance from the piano room to the classroom." "In total, 108 steps." "But things did not go that smoothly every time." "I will never forget his silhouette." "For me, these times were hard to come by." "DaYong thinks XiaoYu wants to play herself back." "No, I'm here to meet XiangLun." "I'm afraid you've failed." "ChingYi's here." "XiaoYu, XiaoYu." "XiaoYu ran away." "XiaoYu, perhaps you..." "No, he doesn't know what he's lost." "Yes, he doesn't know what he's lost." "Are guys like that in the future?" "If I ever meet him," "I will give him a couple of slaps across the face, like this." "Filthy male, filthy male." "DaYong." "Yes, teacher." "You're being too obvious." "This is no longer eavesdropping." "I'll go over there to sweep." "Be careful, teacher is a pervert." "XiaoYu, it's like this." "This guy is not worthy of your thoughts." "Forget about him." "In the future, if there's anything making you sad you can come and look for teacher." "Teacher can help you." "Teacher, I've decided not to go back to see him." "Can you take care of this manuscript for me?" "Sure." "One more thing." "Remember not to tell this story to just anyone." "Then teacher, will you keep my secret?" "Of course, I will." "XiaoYu, don't think too much." "The situation with XiaoYu, we've already been observing for a long time." "So you don't need to worry." "We will continue, through the students, teachers and school, to look after her." "But most importantly, her parents must also work together." "You are the class president." "You should look out for her, understood?" "Don't tell any of her classmates about this." "[Did you lose your virginity after 20 years?" "]" "So what if your grades are good?" "You're still crazy." "What a shame." "You're so pretty." "It would have been alright if you'd gone with me." "You're terrible." "We need to decide on what to do for the graduation ceremony." "We can just let XiaoYu perform." "Perform her time jumping ability?" "To look for a boyfriend?" "That's enough." "What?" "Can't take a joke?" "Don't pick on XiaoYu!" "Go back to your job!" "XiaoYu." "XiaoYu, are you really not going to class?" "If you're not feeling well, then take some medicine." "I'll leave it here." "[ZhangFa Psychiatric Clinic]" "Who is he?" "He's the guy I've been telling you about." "In 20 years, what will mother be like?" "The lock on our front door is broken." "I couldn't get in." "But I think mother will remain just as beautiful." "It's all because of you." "Saying that girls who learn music will have a better temperament." "You see?" "Playing the piano has brought out the disease." "What will become of us?" "I'll pour some water for you." "Does she still see that guy?" "It's a bit better now." "Thank you for coming to see her." "XiaoYu will be very happy once she finds out." "Today is the graduation ceremony." "I would like her to be there." "I'll go get her." "XiaoYu, look who's here." "XiaoYu, today is the graduation ceremony." "I would like you to come, okay?" "Did you know that this place is going to be torn down?" "When?" "On the day of our graduation..." "...I'll play it for you." "Come, it's alright." "Look who's here." "Come, take a picture of us." "Okay, 1, 2, 3." "However, the conclusion to this story was not what I'd imagined." "I want one too." "Come, 1 ,2, 3." "What are you doing?" "Wait for me in the classroom." "A gift from your boyfriend?" "I don't have a boyfriend." "[I am XiaoYu]" "[I love you]" "[Do you love me?" "]" "This is the last picture we took together." "Why are you asking about this?" "Have you heard about her story?" "Ah, also..." "XiangLun." "Don't play that song in the old piano." "Why?" "Because it doesn't sound good on the old piano." "Check if there's anyone over there." "Have another look." "Hurry up." "There's no-one here." "No-one." "You sure there's no-one inside?" "I've checked a hundred times already." "Do we need to move the piano?" "Don't bother." "The principal said they were going to change it with a new one." "Bring the machines in." "I want to start with the front side first." "Wow, does it have to be played at that speed?" "I play it at that speed when I go back." "[It doesn't matter if we won't meet again.]" "[It doesn't matter if you won't remember me.]" "[I just want to tell you a secret.]" "[I love you.]" "[Lu XiaoYu]" "[Yie XiangLun]"
