"Troupe master!" "My child had starved herself for a night." "I beg you, you said my child had potential, would you please take her with you?" "You don't need to pay her wages, just provide her foods and lodging." "Your daughter certainly has potential." "She will have a conducive enviroment to train in but I can't just take her along like that." "When we have the next intake..." "At that time I wished that Nuan can follow the troupe." "I can't really bear to see her dejected face." "If I were that handsome acrobat, I'll definitely take her along no matter what, but I'm not that acrobat." "And he's not me." "Nuan..." "I understood!" "What it meant to be in love." "We were both love-lorn." "Both of us felt bitter." "Why don't you eat more?" "Enough, I'm full." "The weather in the city should be cooler." "It's alright!" "The interior is not very airy." "Our place here is different." "The winter is not that cold." "Nuan, do you still remember that year autumn?" "It was snowing," "It seldom snow now." "The both of us ran happily to the ancestral shrine to frolic in the snow." "We played for the whole day." "Yeah...right!" "I remember at that time, we stayed out until very late." "The cotton shoe's that my mum made for me, was soaked right through." "That's right." "We then ran to Auntie Chang's house." "I asked you to dry my shoe's for me but I've never imagined that you would burnt a hole in it." "I was so scared that I dare not return home." "You were crying and kicking up a fuss." "I'm forced to compensate you a pair of shoes." "And I've to take off my shoes for you." "Are you still teasing me?" "It's so shameful." "New pair of leather shoes." "Mum has a new pair of leather shoes." "Mum's has a new pair of leather shoes." "How can you be so naughty?" "You'll damage mum shoes." "Sis, the worms have all gone into a cocoon." "Yeah, it's the last batch." "After selling this last batch of cocoon, you're going for match-making." "You think so?" "We'll have a day off in the city after selling this batch of cocoon." "Okay!" "Remember to take me along." "During class, that boy Tawei didn't pay much attention to what's written on the blackboard." "He just turn around and kept staring at you." "Let him stare." "I'll not look for a husband from the village." "Marriage is once in a lifetime, why not marry further away from here?" "She's not happy again." "Looks like that guy is not going to come for her." "He's from the city, surely he'll look down on us." "Nuan likes to blabber about them, see what's happen now?" "Nuan!" "Nuan!" "I've been looking for you." "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're having new intakes." "Come quick and register yourself." "I'll write for you the intoduction resume." "Seat carefully." "Nuan, why don't you give it a try?" "The troupe is not from the city." "If you qualified, you can go and worked in the city." "Wouldn't that be nice?" "I just want to try the troupe from the city." "He haven't been here for more than a year." "I guess he had already forgotten about you." "No way!" "Why is there no news from him then?" "Maybe there's no fresh intake at the moment." "Yeah, I bet." "No!" "You just don't understand." "They'll not be coming anymore." "They will!" "He told me himself." "He'll surely come to fetch me." "He's lying to you." "No!" "Don't be foolish." "He looks down on us." "Nuan!" "I wanna give you a present." "What's that?" "Take a guess?" "I don't know." "Have a look" "It's pretty looking." "My brother asked someone to buy it from the city." "My mum said it's too pretty." "It'll be a waste if she were to wear it." "I took it from my mum." "She knew what I was thinking." "Without another word, she just gave it to me." "I want to give it to you." "Jinghe..." "Give me a push." "C'mon!" "I wanna push you up all the way to heaven." "Bride and groom exchange drink." "Aiyah..." "Everyone is in a joyful mood except you." "What is it to you?" "Don't pretend to be a fool." "You're always like that, letting other tease you." "If you don't wanna see, just go away." "Am I bothering you?" "Don't wait for him anymore." "He had already forgotten about you." "He said that, he'll never forget me." "Then why doesn't he show up?" "If he's not coming this year, he'll be here the next." "If he's not here by next year, he'll come the following year." "If he comes to fetch me," "I'll marry him." "Don't you keep on day-dreaming." "Even if you agreed to marry him and brought along 200 catties of pork as bridal gift, he'll still not want you." "He'll only love you for awhile, what's so grand about it then." "I can and I'm willing." "Why are you still waiting for him?" "Nuan, why don't you just speak nicely to your dad?" "Just complete your high school education, and after that, we can take the university entrance exam together." "We still can go to the city." "Why should you wait for him?" "If he really doesn't show up, what're you gonna do about it?" "I'll marry you if he doesn't show up." "I don't want!" "Are you feeling belittle?" "Nuan!" "I really liked you." "I'll take good care of you." "I'm a man of my words." "I've already told you before, if he doesn't show up, then I'll marry you." "But you must finished your university examination." "That was the first time that I felt Nuan body on me, and that was also the only time." "At that moment itself I don't want to argue with her over him, but there're no other choice." "She should understand her own emotions." "It would help our stagnant situation." "I know that I need to be more courageous." "Hugging onto her bravery," "I don't want to be a replacement in her heart for that acrobat." "The swinging helps." "It urged me to be more courageous." "Shielding my fear, increasing my prowess." "I wish that I could just swing on forever, to be able to really fly." "I've finally managed to get into the university." "When I held the acceptance letter in my hand, my thought was only on Nuan." "All the secrets and emotions held within my heart," "I'll be able to pour it out to her." "I'm used to walking here." "Someone will see us." "Jinghe." "I wonder how's life will be like at the university?" "I have no idea." "Since it's in the city, must be different from here." "I've told people numerous times, on the day that I left the village to go to the university, with all villagers coming to see me off, there was a slight detail missing." "At that time, Nuan was around." "After the accident, our relationship got closer." "I immersed myself into my study." "If I can pass the university exams," "I can help to achieve her dreams." "In other words, fulfilled her dreams on her behalf." "I've faith in myself." "and Nuan trusted me too." "Uncle..." "I'll definitely come and fetch Nuan." "You're talking nonsense." "Uncle..." " I" " Study hard!" "I will help Nuan to attend university." "Nuan." "The letter is in the envelope," "I don't have the money for the stamps." "You must reply my letter." "Let's go." "C'mon." "Jinghe..." "I don't matches you." "Your promises... are you regretting it?" "I'm worried that in future the one regretting is you and not me." "You don't trust me?" "If the 3 letters that you left for me-- and I didn't reply... then you can forget about me." "Nuan!" "Reply my letters!" "Nuan..." "I should be leaving." "If you required any assistance, you can look for me." "The both of you take good care." "He shouldn't mistreat you." "I'm leaving then." "Yau, come here." "I'm leaving." "Jinghe!" "Wait!" "I don't know how to use it, just take it away." "Nuan. when I look at you, I remember the times when we're together." "Come back and visit me." "I'm happy with what I have." "Nuan, in this world the one debt that I owe the most, is to you." "Nonsense!" "I'm well taken care of." "What's better than having your own children?" "Nuan..." "I..." "I've forgotten you." "You didn't!" "You came back, so how could you've forgot about me?" "Nuan." "Jinghe-- just take the umbrella away," "I need to go on home." "It's not too difficult to understand what happen next." "Nuan hadn't awaken and was living in her past dreams." "The only difference now was... the one she's waiting for is me." "Letter!" "Jinghe, don't be so sad." "Teacher Chau, even if you came to fetch her, how things may have turn out might not be so rosy either." "I'm slowly getting used to living in the city." "Furthermore, there are more important matters that required my attention." "She influenced my feelings for Nuan." "No longer do I cared that Nuan is waiting back home for me." "Later on, I did not received any letter from her." "I know that Nuan's afraid of rejection." "Deep within my heart," "I'm secretly glad that I did not received any of her letters, making me feel at ease." "I don't want to hear any more news regarding her." "The reality of life changes me." "Nuan experienced once more the futily of unreturned love." "I promised to fetch her, but I didn't." "In a flash, 10 years had gone by." "Why don't you tell me?" "I've never blame you!" "What's the point of telling me now?" "Yau!" "Take it!" "Where's your mum?" "They quarrel!" "Nuan." "You better be leaving." "Come Yau!" "Return the umbrella to uncle." "I purposely bring it for her and to bide you farewell." "Let me see you off." "It's not necessary." "Is he in the house?" "I'll get him." "No need." "Is he..he alright?" "He's alright." "If you need any help in future, you must look for me." "Nuan..." "I'm still the same Jinghe!" "Bring your kid along when you're free and back the next time." "For sure." "Can you tell him please that the next time I'm back, I'll bring him Beijing finest wine." "Nuan..." "My dad wants you to take us both away." "My dad wants you to take us both away." "When you grow up," "I'll definitely come and fetch you to study in the city." "I'll be sure to come and fetch you." "My promises is my only regret." "Human make mistakes." "But it's not everyone who will have the opportunity to right ones wrong." "I can be considered fortunate," "I tried to suppress my memories." "A person who don't want to return to his village, no matter how, also can't escape from his first love." "Come to think of it, 'the mute' is fortunate." "My worries are my comfort." "What the mute gave Nuan, I might not be able to... that's to say Nuan is lucky."
