"This is the story of our family" "When I was little, Father told me that... brothers and sisters start as snowflakes from the sky" "They don't know each other" "But they become one when they reach the ground" "First freeze, then melt" "After that, they're inseparable" "I heard that Father... was a top student in the Music Academy" "But some mistake forced him to settle in this small town" "Still, we never saw any trace of sorrow or regret... in our parents' eyes" "Our world was a paradise of music" "Ma, why must we have New Year dumplings?" "To keep your mouth full!" "So that you say less and do more!" "Husband, they should be going to bed" "You too, Sitian" "Ma, I want to stay up!" "It's not for young ones" "I want to see the New Year!" "We do too!" "Dad, let's set off the firecrackers" "All right" "Take care!" "Stay behind your sister!" "I don't know why I feel so nervous" "As if it was my concert debut!" "See, my hands are sweating!" "Please fasten your seatbelts..." "The following announcement is posted by Mr Qi Yiku" "Mr Qi Yiku is looking for his missing sister Qi Miao... who is about 25 years old" "He lost contact with her in Dongbei 20 years ago" "If anybody knows her where abouts, please call..."

"Will you work with the China Philharmonic?" "Thanks for your questions" "But I think I'd better answer them at the press conference" "Miss Qi, nice to meet you" "I'll be managing your concert" "Sorry I'm a bit late..." "Welcome to China!" "Why don't you people get in my taxi and go?" "The van's waiting over there" "Miss Qi..." "Hey, wait!" "Supervisor, I've been in line for nearly two hours!" "And join the end of the line?" "Come on!" "Yes, to the end of the line" "This is crazy!" "Miss Qi, here's your schedule for these two days" "Please look through it" "I remember my first plane journey" "I was so scared I didn't want to go" "My foster-father had to drag me on board!" "Like being kidnapped!" "Look forwards!" "I'm scared!" "Turn left..." "Dad, slow down!" "Look forwards, don't panic" "I'm scared" "Forwards... yes..." "Look forwards..." "Dad!" "What did you do?" "I can't ride it yet, but you let go!" "I didn't let go!" "You're good at it, aren't you?" "Liar!" "You're good at it" "Liar!" "You really are" "I couldn't ride a bike when I was your age" "Want to try again?" "It's enough" "Then let's go home" "Dad, wait for me!" "Miss Qi!" "Are We starting?" "Can I have the first question?" "There's no rush!" "One at a time!" "Miss Qi, will you perform with the China Philharmonic?" "Miss Qi, how well do you know Chinese music?" "Miss Qi, how does it feel to come home after so many years?" "Actually, I always wanted to come back" "I miss China so much" "I still have an elder brother, a sister and a younger brother living here" "I haven't seen them for 20 years" "I hope the concert goes well... but I also hope to see them again" "This shows my whole family, taken when I was seven" "Closer..." "lean against each other!" "Smile..." "Good!" "Out of the way, kids..." "Stay over there" "Dad, I want to marry you!" "Ma, I want to marry you!" "Dad, I want to marry you!" "Where's Yiku?" "1... 2... 3..." "Okay!" "Where did you get that scarf?" "Borrowed it from my classmate" "Next!" "Parents, over here..." "Where should I go?" "Here..." "The mother here, father at the other end" "Look at the camera!" "Ready?" "Not yet!" "Welcome" "Stop fooling around!" "And you, don't stand there!" "Can't you control your son" "I've had enough!"

"Xiao Fang, we're going to see my father!" "All right?" "Yes, I caught a cold" "I have to go to the school" "No classes today, are there?" "The principal sent for me" "Why?" "Maybe he'll promote me to the permanent staff" "Really?" "Maybe" "So we might be better off" "Yes..." "You go home first" "We'll expect you for dinner" "Come on, children" "Mr Qi..." "Have some tea" "Thank you take a seat" "Have some tea" "Thank you" "Mr Qi, you're an experienced teacher" "You've worked hard teaching music in our school" "The prize we won last year..." "That was due to your hard work" "We couldn't have done it without your support" "But there's one thing..." "Your thinking is still being criticised by the Party" "And your class background is a problem" "You've taught the pupils some 'unhealthy' music" "Their parents have reported it to the Party" "The authorities have told us to look into the matter" "So we have to take some action" "The consensus is that we should let you go" "Because of your errors, we'll transfer you to a village school from the start of next term" "You can teach music there, and at the same time undergo re-education yourself" "What do you think?" "If you can't hide, I'll catch you!" "Then you'll cry!" "Apples!" "Dad, let me have one!" "Dad, I'll take them!" "Let me give them out!" "You shouldn't waste money!" "But the children love them" "How is everything?" "Not bad" "Give me one!" "We'll have them after dinner..." "Yiku, lay the table now" "Miss Qi, we'll rehearse in here" "I hope it's good enough" "Is it air-conditioned?" "Sometimes!" "Pupils..." "I know you all love music" "Starting next term, you'll have a new music teacher" "This is the last time I'll teach you" "I won't be here any more" "But whatever happens..." "I hope you'll never give up music" "In future you'll experience things you could never imagine" "But with music... your souls will never be lonely" "Dad, you won't be teaching any more?" "That's right" "Then you and Ma can both stay at home" "And you can teach us all to sing!" "Sitian, listen..." "Let this be a secret" "Just between you and me, all right?" "Father went out early and always came back late" "We were all on best behaviour, so as not to upset him" "Actually Ma knew all about it, but she never said anything" "She just did her housework, as usual" "But her health was getting worse and worse" "And that was a secret too, between Ma and us" "Driver!" "Driver!" "What?" "Can you turn the music down a bit?" "Sir, do you happen to know a girl named Qi Miao?" "She's my younger sister, I ask all my passengers the same question but I haven't seen her for 20 years" "If you happen to run into her, please let me know" "I'll bear that in mind" "No problem" "Thank you, sir!" "Run!" "Which naughty children did this?" "Run!" "Run!" "Quicker!" "Come on, what's keeping you?" "Aunt will have the food on the table by now" "Don't forget to greet her, all right?" "Quick, over here" "Who'll do it first?" "You?" "You?" "Or you?" "Yiku, what if they come back?" "They won't, but I'll do it if you're scared" "I'm still scared" "I'm not!" "Nor am I!" "Okay, I'll go first" "Be quick!" "Miao, over here, quickly!" "Wait there!" "Be quick!" "Here's Blackie!" "Blackie!" "Blackie, eat mine!" "Mine tastes better!" "Brother, we shouldn't be doing this!" "I'm scared!" "Now watch this!" "Soldier on his horse!" "Can I try too?" "Blackie, let me ride you for a bit" "Don't be rude to Blackie" "Stop it, I'm scared!" "Come on, let me ride you!" "Eggs" "What?" "Eggs!" "I want to eat eggs" "Yiku, look at this" "What?" "Brother, I want to eat eggs" "Me too" "One for you..." "And one for you" "Yiku, we shouldn't steal from other people" "It's all right" "What are those kids doing there?" "Run!" "Faster, Miao!" "I didn't do it!" "How dare you steal from our neighbours?" "Don't we have all we need here?" "Are you a thief?" "You want to be a thief?" "I have to punish you" "You deserve this!" "Dad, stop beating Yiku!" "We saw the eggs first!" "It was us who wanted to eat them" "Go away!" "I'll punish you later!" "Go away!" "Your turn will come!" "Yiku, say you're sorry!" "We'll see how much you can stand" "What are you doing there?" "Your father punishing you again?" "No way, I'm practicing martial arts!" "Dad, when will you let Yiku come and eat his dinner?" "Eat your own" "Hey, look who's standing there!" "You shut up or I'll get you tomorrow" "Why are you standing out here?" "No reason" "No reason?" "That can't be true" "It was too hot inside!" "I needed fresh air!" "Don't lie, we all heard your dad scolding you" "Who says?" "Dad was just teaching me to keep time 1, 2, 3, 4..." "I've finished!" "I'm full too" "Welcome, sir" "Chili and soy sauce noodles, right away!" "Coming right up, sir" "Chili and soy sauce noodles" "Buddy, there's a line!" "Did you hear me?" "Just you wait!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Don't run!" "Don't run!" "Watch out!" "What's to eat?" "I'm starving!" "Lt'll be delicious!" "Hands off!" "Here come my freezing hands!" "Faster, Yiku!" "You're so heavy!" "Who's going to pull me when it's my turn?" "We're there!" "Be careful, Yiku" "Once more, Yiku" "Once more, Yiku" "Let the younger ones go first, Yiku" "I always do!" "But it should be my turn now" "We can't pull you, you're too heavy!" "Pull me, Yiku!" "Ma, what is it?" "Ma, wake up!" "Here, have some hot water" "Have you fainted before?" "When I wasn't here?" "Never... don't worry about it" "Is the water too hot, Ma?" "I'll blow it cool for you" "Ma, shall I tell you something funny?" "Once upon a time..." "Let me do it!" "A Fox and His Meat" "A fox finds a piece of meat on the road" "He eats half of it... and hides the other half in a hole" "Then along comes a wolf, who says..." "I've had bad luck all day" "Haven't found so much as a bone" "Then the fox gives the wolf some grass..." "Let me do it!" "But I haven't finished!" "It's disgusting!" "Okay then, do yours" "In the jungle there's a golden house, with red walls and green windows" "A little girl lives this beautiful house" "She goes out picking flowers every day" "That's enough" "Mother needs to rest" "Dad, I haven't finished yet" "Later, all right?" "Ma, have a good rest" "I think you should go to hospital" "You know I hate it, I'd get really sick if I went there!" "All they want is your money!" "Don't worry about money" "The school accountant is on sick leave... but I can borrow from my colleagues" "I know what happened to you at school" "Don't worry..." "I have another job already" "Thank you" "Thank you" "Just a moment" "I don't deserve that much" "It's for you" "Give it back!" "Not a chance!" "Give it back!" "Give it back!" "No chance!" "Give it back!" "Go home..." "His name was Qi Tian" "But it's now Cao Jian" "Cao Jian" "Dong-Bei University?" "Right, Dong-Bei" "Is that the 'Your Dedication' programme?" "My name is Cao Jian" "I want to dedicate the song 'Missing You'... to my elder brother Qi Yiku" "Not that song?" "Then forget it" "Is that the 'Your Dedication' programme?" "My name is Qi Yiku" "Together with Sitian and Miao... we want to dedicate a song to our brother Tian" "Today's his birthday" "We want to wish him a happy birthday... good health and all the best" "That boy is Cao Jian, down there" "Sitian, give me back the bun!" "Give it back!" "I'll tell Ma and Dad if you don't!" "Give it back!" "Sitian, give it back to me!" "Silly boy, I was only teasing you" "Here you are" "Give me yours as well" "All right, all for you!" "But what can I eat then?" "I don't know!" "You can still put it away, like when you were little" "I'll get you some new glasses tomorrow, all right?" "Where are your foster-parents?" "Dead" "Then who pays for your studies?" "They paid for the first year" "After that, the government" "Do Yiku and Miao ever visit you?" "We lived so far from each other..." "I heard they moved to Beijing" "Beijing?" "I got this from Miao" "No address?" "No..." "You have the envelope?" "No" "Can I have this?" "I'll give you a photocopy tomorrow" "Never mind" "This must be it" "Mother, Father..." "I've come with Tian and David to see you" "If you know where Yiku and Miao are..." "Please help me to find them soon" "You're in deep shit!" "You're taking a big risk coming back!" "Shhh!" "The police were Here" "It was an accident" "Who are you talking to?" "No-one, I'm taking a leak" "Is it Yiku?" "No!" "You know the cops are looking for you" "Stay away, okay?" "Thanks for the tip" "Get a move on... don't come back!" "The following announcement is posted by Mr Qi Yiku" "Mr Qi Yiku is looking for his missing sister Qi Miao... who is about 25 years old" "He lost contact with her in Dongbei 20 years ago" "If anybody knows her where abouts, please call..." "Mr Qi at 65999323" "If Ms Qi Miao is also listening... please call your brother at once" "He misses you very much" "Sitian!" "Sitian!" "Really?" "Qi Miao..." "Qi Miao, I'm your sister Sitian" "You changed your name?" "Of course I did!" "'Miao' is only my nickname now" "I'm called Lin Xiaohan" "You live abroad..." "Don't you have an English name, like Anna or Elizabeth?" "Do you know anything about Yiku?" "He's probably in worse shape than me" "Maybe in prison by now" "Why would he be in prison?" "Who knows?" "Don't you remember him teaching us how to steal?" "You were there too" "My foster-family moved several times, just to stop me seeing him" "I lost contact with him ages ago" "Do you have a job?" "Who needs a job?" "If I'm not starving, I'm okay" "Did you go on studying after high school?" "No, my foster-father died, and his wife couldn't support me" "I'll be here for some time" "If you like..." "I'll ask my friends to help find you a college, all right?" "What's the matter with you?" "I'm not a juvenile delinquent!" "Miao, I know you hate Yiku and me" "But we were all children then" "We had no choice" "But now I can support you" "I really want to do something for you" "Fine!" "Lend me $100,000 then!" "I could do a lot with that!" "I don't have that much with me" "Then forget it" "I have this, take this for now" "I have that much myself, you keep it" "Miao, come to my hotel and I'll write you a cheque" "You know what?" "It's too late for you to help me!" "I'm happy with my life, and I don't want you getting involved!" "Anyhow, I know you don't like what I've become" "If you plan to stick around, you'll have to get used to my temper" "And I don't want to be blamed for giving you a nervous breakdown!" "Okay, bye bye!" "Miao, do you feel any better?" "Your head still aches?" "Ma, can I have some water?" "I'm getting it" "You've been sick all day..." "Where's your father?" "Sitian, go and find your father" "Ma, I feel very bad" "When your father comes, we'll take you to hospital" "Excuse me... thank you" "Bronchitis..." "Admission required" "Pay the deposit first!" "Miao, you're awake" "Dad, did I have a fever?" "You'll be better soon" "Dad, I want some bottled fruit" "Not for children who are sick" "But I saw other children having them!" "Why can't I have them?" "I really want some bottled fruit!" "When you get home" "No, I want some now!" "Miao!" "Stop pretending!" "They'll laugh at you if you go on like this!" "Is she feeling better now?" "Yes, no more fever" "I want some bottled fruit!" "This is my pocket money, you have it" "and This is mine mine too" "Want some, Yiku?" "No..." "I don't like them" "Nor do I" "Taste good?" "Yes, you want to try?" "No, I don't like bottled fruit" "Ma, you try it" "No, it's for you children" "Miao, is it good?" "Is it?" "Can you finish the whole bottle?" "Welcome!" "Another order, sir?" "Sit down and have a drink with me" "Sorry, sir..." "We're not allowed to drink with the customers" "Come on, just one drink" "I'm sorry sir, I really can't" "Excuse me, sir..." "Are you looking down on me?" "Look, this is my sister!" "I'm her elder brother!" "She's a musician!" "Have a drink!" "Table for...?" "Can't you count?" "What are you doing?" "You stepped on my sister's photo!" "What's eating you?" "Look!" "I told you..." "This is my sister Qi Sitian!" "Your sister?" "Give that back to me, that's my sister!" "Miao, this guy says the same as you!" "Miao is my second sister..." "Sister over here..." "Give it back!" "Sister over there..." "Give it back!" "Here..." "Give it back!" "And there..." "Give it back!" "You tore it!" "You tore it!" "Stop fighting!" "I'll kill you!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop them!" "And make sure they pay!" "Stop fighting!" "Get him!" "Stop!" "My sister..." "Stop!" "My sister..." "I said stop!" "What's wrong with you?" "Get lost!" "My sister..." "Get lost!" "She means it!" "Sitian is my sister!" "Miao is my second sister!" "Tian is my little brother!" "I'm their elder brother!" "What the hell?" "You wake up just like that, saying nothing!" "Not so much as a 'Good morning'?" "Do you remember throwing up in here last night?" "You smell disgusting!" "Where am I?" "In my home!" "I'm sorry, Miss..." "I was so drunk last night" "I'm sorry I messed up your room" "What?" "Who do you think I am?" "I'm sorry, Miss..." "I was so drunk last night" "I'm really sorry for whatever I did" "You're Qi Yiku?" "Yes..." "And you are...?" "If you're Qi Yiku, then I'm Miao" "Don't trick me..." "I've said I'm sorry, Miss..." "You have another sister called Sitian?" "Yes" "I've met her, and I really am Miao" "You're Miao?" "Cool it!" "Don't scare me!" "Are you really Miao?" "I wrote to Tian and I quarrelled with Sitian" "You really are Miao!" "Don't I look like your sister?" "Yes, you do" "I do..." "Look at Tian!" "All of the children are growing to look like you" "Better that the boys should look like me..." "And the girls look like you!" "Your cough is getting worse" "Is it very annoying?" "No, it's not" "If I die, you must find another wife who'll look after the children" "Fine, who do you suggest?" "Our children are so lovely, and you're so kind to me" "If I die..." "Don't say such things!" "I might die before you!" "No, you won't" "You'll last a long time" "I was only joking" "Let's sleep" "Are you all right?" "You've coughed up blood!" "I'm all right" "No, I'm taking you straight to hospital" "It's nothing" "Put this on" "Dad..." "Ma..." "What are you doing here?" "I want to come with you" "Me too" "Me too" "No, don't make things harder" "Yiku, take them back to bed" "They can manage by themselves, I can carry Ma" "Be good, Yiku, wait for us here" "Let's go" "Dad, wait!" "Yiku, you're the eldest" "Look after your brother and sisters" "Who was it?" "Look who's here!" "Miao!" "Not a bad place!" "What brings you?" "I have someone you want to see" "Brother!" "Brother!" "He's gone" "Excuse me, is Qi Yiku here?" "Ask inside" "Thank you" "Does Qi Yiku have another home in Beijing?" "I don't know" "Does he have relatives?" "I've no idea" "Page him!" "His pager's been cut off" "And he's behind with his vehicle rent too" "I'm looking for him myself" "If you hear anything, tell me at once" "Sure" "I want both the man and the car held" "Yes, sir" "Yiku, will Ma die?" "Don't be silly" "I'll tell you a story" "Good!" "Settle down, be good" "Once upon a time... a mole and a hedgehog farmed together" "The hedgehog asked the mole How shall we do this?" "And the mole replied I'll plough, and you sow the seeds" "The hedgehog agreed" "The mole ploughed well with his strong claws" "Ma..." "The hedgehog was satisfied" "Then it planted seeds in the ploughed land" "And he dug them in by rolling his body across the field" "When autumn came... they had a good harvest" "Yiku..." "Yiku!" "There's been a disaster!" "Your parents..." "It snowed so heavily last night, the road was treacherous" "Your father was carrying your mother to the hospital" "He managed to get a ride on a passing horsecart" "But the horse reared up on the slippery road" "And the cart was thrown down a cliff with everyone on it" "The cliff was very steep" "They were taken to the hospital" "But they passed away" "I saw them in the hospital" "I thought they were asleep" "But when I touched Dad's hand... it was as cold as ice" "I suddenly realised... that the life had gone from them!" "Dad couldn't tell us stories any more!" "Cousins..." "Don't worry, I'll look after your children" "They won't have it easy but they'll be warm and well-fed" "You can rest assured" "Kids, bow to your parents" "Can you manage?" "The government will help if you can't" "I'll manage" "Come on, kids, on to the cart!" "Let's go" "Goodbye Dad..." "Ma..." "We'll come back to see you" "Dad..." "Ma... goodbye" "We'll bring you good things to eat" "Goodbye!" "One ticket" "Bye now, Miss Qi" "Bye!" "See you later, Miss Qi" "Bye!" "Miss Qi... good day" "Officers..." "We understand you're looking for Qi Yiku" "We have a photo" "Is this him?" "Where is he now?" "He was involved in a road accident" "We're also looking for him" "If he contacts you, please inform us at once" "We don't want to trouble you..." "Will he face a death sentence?" "We don't sentence everyone to death!" "Your brother has committed no capital crime" "Why should he be sentenced to death?" "Is that true?" "Of course!" "The injured party is now being treated in hospital" "Qi Yiku is avoiding his responsibilities" "But he cannot do so" "Is the man still alive?" "Of course he is" "Thank you..." "Thank you very much" "It's this one..." "He hasn't been back for ages" "Okay!" "Please tell us if he does!" "I will" "Thank you" "Bye!" "They look weird..." "Are they gonna stay in our place?" "I'm telling you I can't take care of your cousin's kids!" "Not so loud!" "I haven't seen them for 10 years, I don't even know which is which!" "It makes no difference, they're all my cousin's kids" "What are you staring at?" "You'll have plenty of time to get used to them!" "Kids, this is your aunt" "Auntie..." "Auntie..." "Heat up some water and wash!" "You're so filthy!" "Okay, I'll do it" "Didn't we agree that you'd take only one of them?" "Now there's four!" "How can we afford it?" "How can we survive?" "How could I take one and forget the other three?" "Aren't they the government's responsibility?" "You're taking on too much!" "First, I don't want to trouble the authorities" "Second, they're family!" "How can I dump them on the government?" "Come on, I'm not playing good samaritan..." "They won't be able to eat much" "They'll eat more than you think" "So What?" "And the bed isn't big enough lt'll do" "You think it'll take four more?" "How Can you say that?" "So you'll stay home all day to look after them?" "I'm a man!" "How could I do that?" "So how can the bed be big enough?" "Don't fight, Yiku!" "Don't fight!" "Stop it!" "What's going on?" "They're our guests, you naughty kids!" "He started it!" "Don't beat our children!" "If you don't get rid of them, our lives will be ruined!" "What are you saying?" "We have kids of our own!" "They'll never get along!" "Why not?" "They're my cousin's kids, I can't just dump them" "You slapped me!" "You selfish bitch!" "None of us knew where to go" "Yiku just told us what Dad once said..." "That we shouldn't beg, even if we were starving" "We didn't really understand that" "But we knew that Uncle's house was not our home" "That's Uncle!" "Quick, hide!" "Yiku!" "Sitian!" "Where are you kids?" "Yiku said he'd never let us suffer while he was still alive" "Later we found out that our running away caused a lot of fuss" "Uncle, Auntie and their workmates looked for us everywhere" "Uncle nearly divorced Auntie because we ran away" "Yiku, I want to go home" "Yiku, I'm cold" "Yiku, I left my story books behind" "Yiku, are we going to part?" "I don't want to" "When we grow up, we'll be together again" "All the sadness will be over" "This child is very cute" "Come on, call me Auntie" "If we're going to adopt her, she should call you 'Ma'" "Sitian, I'm hungry!" "Do they have food for me?" "Miao, you be good here!" "I'll come to see you, all right?" "Will brother and sister come too?" "I promise, we'll all come" "Yiku, when you come, will you bring me some candy?" "I will, I promise" "And the little doll I left behind with the little duckling?" "I'll bring them" "Thank you for taking care of my sister!" "I'll come as often as I can" "Yiku..." "Yiku!" "Don't cry, child" "Please don't cry!" "Let's go" "Where's Miao?" "Get moving!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Miao!" "Yiku, we can't leave Miao here!" "Brother, can't we bring Miao with us?" "Don't leave me here!" "Old man, see how sad they are..." "How old?" "Six" "That's a bit too old" "My brother isn't quite six, he's five and a half" "Have you been to kindergarten?" "Yes, I'm in Red Flag Kindergarten" "I won three Red Flower prizes in the holidays" "Really?" "He can recite a poem too" "Let's hear it then" "Cooking beans by burning their stems" "The beans cry in the pan" "They have grown from the same roots" "Why must we burn so hard?" "Not bad!" "What else do you know?" "Not flower..." "Not fog..." "Comes at night..." "Leaves at dawn..." "They come like a dream... and leave like clouds" "That's good!" "This child seems not bad" "I'm just afraid that he's a bit old to form ties with us" "Don't worry, humans have feelings" "Be good to him and he'll be close to you" "Let's take him." "What do you think?" "Thank you, Uncle!" "Thank you, Auntie!" "I'm not leaving!" "I won't leave!" "Yiku, Sitian, what are you doing here?" "Please adopt my sister!" "What happened to you?" "Our parents died, there's no-one to take care of her" "Please adopt her!" "But we're leaving the country soon!" "Right, we're leaving soon!" "I know that you're kind, and that you have no children of your own" "My sister can go anywhere with you" "Just give her some food" "But it's not that simple, boy" "What about the immigration formalities?" "That's right" "Don't worry, I have money" "This can cover her travel" "Please adopt her!" "Yiku, don't do that" "Let's take her" "All right, we'll adopt your sister" "Thank you Uncle, thank you Auntie!" "Yiku, I won't go" "You can't go either, I won't leave you!" "Brother!" "Get up, child" "Get up, child" "Yiku!" "Come back, brother!" "Brother, come back here!" "Ma!" "Dad!" "Sitian!" "Tian!" "Miao!" "Okay, that's what we'll do..." "Hey, stop right there!" "What are you hiding?" "I'm not hiding anything" "Take off those shades!" "Why wear them at night?" "What happened to your eye?" "Bumped into a door" "Really?" "I bet you've been fighting" "No way" "If you go on fighting, you'll lose that eye!" "Social security card?" "Not with me" "Then we'll have to do something" "Come with us to the police station" "I've got something to do" "You can go as soon as we have you on the books" "I really have things to do" "I'll come to the station tomorrow and turn myself in, all right?" "Don't move!" "Don't move!" "Are you a wanted man?" "No, I'm not" "I bet you are!" "Don't run!" "You're under arrest!" "Stop!" "What's wrong?" "A little worried?" "No" "I feel that Yiku will come too" "He must be coming to my concert" "He must be" "Qi Tian!" "I'm Qi Miao!" "Sitian told me you were coming" "I've seen your photo" "You should call me 'Little Brother'" "Brother!" "Thank you all for coming" "My father was a fine teacher of music" "Before he died, he taught me that..." "I should expect to experience things I could never imagine" "But that with music... no soul need ever be lonely" "Music has taken me around the world and brought me back to my home" "For the last 20 years, I've never stopped thinking of my motherland" "My roots are here, my soul is here" "Everything in this country touches my heart" "I've told myself many times that I needed to come back" "Back to where I was born and raised" "The moment I came home..." "I found peace of mind" "I see a strong home country" "I've found my younger brother and sister" "But not yet my elder brother" "I hope that he's here tonight" "He must be here with me" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Don't go!" "Brother, I've been looking for you" "Sitian!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Sitian!" "I haven't left because I want to stay here for good" "Sharing my life with my sister and brothers" "It's just as Father said..." "We started as snowflakes falling from the sky" "We didn't know each other" "But we became one when we reached the ground" "We froze, and then melted" "And now we can never be parted"
