Attention of 215 Guangzhou Flight passengers.
Flights to Guangzhou departing 11:45 now release time...
Hunger eats my soul.
Heavy rain in Beijing.
As if sipping cold soup,
the subway system systematically swallows people.
A hard city makes expressionless faces.
I might be one of them.
Through a boring life cycle and try to get back what I appreciate,
I feel like I was misplaced.
Kebas, we lose the taste of the house.
The feeling I've forgotten is now back to me.
Memories, where did they all go?
When the seasons change, I remember feeling rice noodles from my hometown.
What gives me strength is one with seasonal ingredients,
noodle San Xian.
"PADI RICE"
For many in Hunan, the day begins
with a bowl of hot noodles, steaming,
sweat on their faces and take moments.
Two bowls.
Thank you.
My memories from childhood started in this noodle shop without a sign.
Good morning.
Xiao Ming, my darling.
Grandma!
Rice noodles here are handmade.
They are transparent and beautiful.
A sense of having a pleasant bounce,
giving the beginning of a relaxed day.
This is my time with Grandma.
My parents work together,
so with him I spent the morning.
We eat San Xian noodles.
I'm captivated by them.
The mushrooms are hard and fresh,
kikurage shines with the right texture.
Mixed with thick soup, flavor overlapping,
pampering the ceiling and melting my heart.
Gosh.
Warm steam touches my skin, the aroma of soup,
the sound we chew.
There is no word that can describe how much I love this moment.
There are more secrets to the taste.
Meat and mushrooms fried together,
the eggs are soft and smooth,
blend in with noodles under the throat.
And the taste was improved by the yellow soup.
Other stores sometimes use MSG.
But here, they spend time and effort,
only husband and wife make rice noodles carefully.
Eat everything you want.
Do you want another bowl? -Yes!
I later found out
the owner is a famous chef in Beijing,
one of the top masters in Hunan.
One day he left alone and settled here before I was born to open a noodle shop.
This shop only makes San Xian noodles and save it for 20 years.
The artificial noodles always feel the same,
so is the soup.
They don't talk much, but their rice noodles are loved by everyone.
Many people travel far to eat it,
but there is no guarantee they can.
I live right in front of the shop,
So I'm lucky Eating noodles every day.
Grandma once told me,
"If you like to eat, you will be blessed with delicious food."
Suddenly, the owner closed the shop and disappeared.
It is said they were expelled for jealousy,
or their old client wants they are back in Beijing.
FORWARD
Wherever they go,
there will be many people who like to eat.
They will make people happy with their noodles that's to be sure.
Noodles in a shop close to school
not handmade and the texture is not special.
But piping topping is very delicious.
Fried vegetables emit flavor and flow into soft noodles,
envelop the soup.
It's different from the shop that I visited with Grandma,
but I still like it.
Aren't you a student in the Fourth Academy Middle School?
-Yes. - My son also goes there.
She's in her third year in high school.
See you later, honey.
Maybe I could retire from this when my son finished school and got a job.
You are a growing boy. Eat as much as you like.
Study hard, okay?
Oh, thank you.
My girl is more than a year old,
and he passes here every day on the way to school.
Her hair is shiny like chocolate in the sun.
I want to look at him forever.
One of the reasons I came to here is so that I can see it.
That is the joy of my life.
I don't know why... I just feel this will last forever.
That fall...
What is the layout here?
The noodle shop changes its appearance.
The husband wants to change jobs and convincing his wife to open a fishing shop.
Happy mornings suddenly disappear,
and with them, rice noodles and a glimpse of her hair.
Then, a fish shop is opened,
but it doesn't seem to work well.
What is happening?
you piss me off!
Let's go from here!
Someone called the teacher!
What is that? What happened?
Are you OK?
This is all your fault! You never said anything!
Injured students
is the son of a woman in a noodle shop.
I don't know what caused the fight, but the fish shop closed the door.
In the third year of my high school,
shop noodles back.
But there is something different.
The husband is helping in the shop.
And there are others.
Thank you very much!
They look happier than before.
But...
I heard he just graduated and went to another remote school.
That marks the end of my first love.
A very sad morning.
When I was little, I woke up with the smell of noodles.
When I spend time with Grandma,
and in middle school, during the sweet moments looked at him.
Now I'm alone.
Mie San Xian, please.
Coming soon.
Number 12, noodle San Xian.
Almost machine-made noodles are too perfect.
The taste of Chinese soup is not bad.
But there are fewer toppings
and the price is higher.
I used to love San Xian noodles, but it doesn't taste the same.
Hi daddy.
What is that?
Flight 2.5 hours from Beijing.
I think I can go home anytime,
but the distance is further than I thought.
Bright lights under me make my heart more turbulent.
is that you, Xiao Ming?
I'm sorry,
I don't think I can eat San Xian noodles with you anymore.
Don't say that We will eat it together.
Grandma...
My image, dragged at night day, melts under the morning sun.
The torture I felt on my chest someday
recover with time.
Some things never change, and some things will change...
What can I do for you?
- A bowl of San Xian noodles. - Understood.
The warmth still exists today from the comfort that left me yesterday.
Days that have passed will never return.
But I feel confident something is driving me to be a coward.
It stays behind my mind as the season passes.
It's like a quiet and pale morning,
but the morning was red with hope.
Here you go.
"PADI RICE"
Since I was little, I like cute clothes.
If I wear my favorite clothes, I will be happy all day.
I feel invincible.
I like to choose clothes for my younger sister.
We play princess with my lower hand.
But I started to grow taller,
to the point where we don't can exchange clothes again.
I never like being tall.
This attracts unnecessary attention, and I often hit my head.
But now, I thank my parents.
I don't have other talents, I get my career thanks to the height my parents gave me.
Before I had the chance to thank thank them, they died.
I always realize the value of things after I lose them.
Everything that is valuable.
The world is changing rapidly.
Clothing trends, people...
and we model.
This career will not last forever.
But I still want to shine.
For my only family: my sister.
"SMALL FASHION SHOW"
-That's the wrapper, Yi Lin. -Thank you to all of you.
-Thank you very much. -You are welcome.
Don't do anything like that. What if you get hurt?
- Their clothes are valuable, right? -But still...
I was very happy when my picture appeared in a magazine for the first time.
My sister can see me even though we live far apart.
But now, that is normal.
What did you see?
Cameras, lights, women.
you stand where most girls can only dream of it.
A gloomy view like that. Any other?
I wasn't inspired to say anything funny now.
Sorry to ask you.
Good work, thank you.
Isn't that a new editor? You have to say something charming.
-Oh? -My dear...
How many years have you done this?
Can't you at least say something funny?
I'm more of a type of action-more-words.
Your mouth.
We're all done! Thank you very much for your efforts.
I made...
cake for you.
Maybe Sis is busy.
Are all ready?
Yi Lin, Happy Birthday!
- Happy birthday! -Thank you.
WITHOUT NEW MESSAGES
I messed up.
Yi Lin!
happy birthday.
you came!
Your manager told me. Sorry to miss the photo shoot, but I'm busy working.
What will it be like?
Sorry. I have to go back to the office.
I understand, if it works...
Yi Lin!
-Why do we meet? -I'm Shui Jing. We are at the same agency.
-I have idolized you forever! -Highly?
You are very popular in our school. Everyone copy you.
-Thank you. -Still a student? you are very mature.
Yes!
you will be a hit.
- A new generation is coming. -Thank you.
I hope I can get advice from you about how to be successful in this business.
Advice? I do not have anything.
Please.
-Give him some instructions. -Let me think...
Shui Jing, right here.
I'm coming!
Excuse me, I have to go.
I didn't say anything.
-He has it, shines. -Not paying attention.
Don't think you will always be on top.
-What does that mean? -I'll go, say hi.
-Don't worry about that. -Still. Today is my birthday.
-You have bad taste in men. -Still.
Get yourself.
Good night, Lu Lu.
-Thank you very much. -Don't mention it. Part of work.
That's why I said to take Lu Lu.
I don't like it when there are lots of people.
-How will you meet anyone? -You are the one to talk.
Lu Lu's cake is very delicious!
That's really good.
Lu Lu Lu is very useful, he can do anything.
That's not true.
you have dinner, right?
I'm sorry, but Steve will eat my portion.
What am I?
Houses are the best. Lu Lu is here with me.
Good night. -You're too irresponsible!
I would love to show the true self Yi Lin staff.
I'm sorry. you prepared all of this for him.
-I just made dinner for myself. - Party like that?
That's all thanks to him.
Because of him, I can go to school.
Sorry I'm late!
-Is it... - Long time no see, Lu Lu.
From today, we will always be together.
Let's eat. There are a number of good restaurants nearby.
I think Sis
very beautiful, shining,
as if he were from another star.
And now he is a sea lion.
Steve!
Don't hit Lu Lu.
I didn't hit a girl.
It's time for me to leave.
Yi Lin! Don't be late for tomorrow's audition.
Understood.
Sis, it's morning. Get up.
Morning, Lu Lu.
-I go to school. are you ok - No need to worry, see you later.
Five minutes...
I'm in trouble... a lot of problems.
you're late. What's wrong with you?
-I fell asleep, okay? -You...
CHANGE ROOM
you're late.
Next.
Good.
Next.
That place is for children.
do you think I'm too old?
You should say no.
There's always the next time. Something that is more suitable for you.
Hi!
Next time, huh? It's crowded at the top.
On my way to work. Talk to you later.
- I got the show! -Shui Jing?
What is happening?
They told me on the way out Shui Jing got the job.
Don't tell me things like that.
Fashion Week will come.
Shui Jing will also be in it.
This is from Lu Lu. He asks if you want to have dinner.
Why isn't he asking me?
Because you didn't answer.
Is younger better?
I don't believe things like this really bother me.
-Hei... -What is that?
None.
-What did you eat? -I do not want.
You haven't eaten lately.
Have to get ready for Fashion Week.
Take care of yourself.
Don't worry, I've done this forever.
-But Sis-- -What do you know?
What is that?
I'm fine. Do your own business.
Sis... where did you go?
-Ke gym. -Do not exaggerate.
This is rude...
My secret to beauty?
There is nothing special.
Yes, right. I hope.
Do you know what is needed behind the scenes?
But I don't want Lu Lu to see me like this.
I can't, I don't want to.
After our parents died, we were sent to separate relatives.
I'm sure it's rude to him.
That's rude to me.
When I decided to take Lu Lu,
everyone says it's a bad idea, but I don't care.
I'm greedy.
A modeling career and become Lu Lu's extraordinary brother...
I want both.
you're kidding...
The only thing I have for myself
what is this body.
Beauty will be lost if you let it.
No matter what, I don't let it go.
You killed yourself. What is the problem?
That's no big deal. I'm a professional.
I'm worried about you.
Please... let me go there.
Good.
But know your limits.
You look terrible.
Maybe you have to go through this.
This is nothing.
I dream about this stage, now it will come true.
But now, I want to see what's behind this.
Did you see it? That will happen now.
It's almost time for the show.
My noble future!
Listen to me.
you watch me.
I still have it...
I'm... screwing up.
Yi Lin, are you okay ?!
You really like those clothes, right?
Yes! I like this color the most.
Let's go, Lu Lu.
Mother...
Wake up?
-I saw Mother in my dream. -dream?
When we were kids, he always sewed.
When I sew, I remember Mom too.
He told me when he sewed, he could see the sky of his hometown.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
What did you see, Lu Lu?
I see... people wearing my clothes.
If my clothes make someone happy, I will be happy too.
That sounds good.
Injuries will need time to recover.
When I stop working, seems like I have disappeared.
There are many replacements.
The world will move well without me.
Now that the rehabilitation is complete, you can finally get back to work.
About that... I'm kind of sick of it.
Do you want to rest? -I don't want to go back.
do you want to... stop?
Maybe it's time.
I see.
Can you teach me how to do that?
Using a sewing machine and others. I want to study trade.
How dare you!
Why are you talking to me like that?
I have to work. Who do you think I'm doing this for?
do you mean you did it for me? That ended the conversation, right?
Don't look at me like that.
you don't understand!
-Where are you going? -School.
At this hour?
Geez...
This is funny.
We live together and I don't know.
I didn't even try.
I'm really stupid.
Since then, he's been late in school,
it seems like he doesn't want to see me.
After becoming a stranger so long , did you call me for this?
We have never fought since we started living together.
- Looks like you're back. -What are you talking about?
You can't fight without energy.
By the way, you...
just kidding, right? It's about retirement.
Seriously dead. I'm up there at age.
My job is done.
- I think so. - Everyone leaves me.
you and I can be a team for a long time.
-What will you do? -I do not know.
-I can't see the future. -So you don't know.
But I will make money.
I gave up modeling, but I want to support Lu Lu.
Didn't you say you want both?
You will lose career and Lu Lu.
You don't even have a man.
Loner.
-Why are you saying such cruel things? -I'm no longer your manager.
I will say whatever I want.
After all the money you made from me, you don't thank you!
you're the worst when you say things like that.
Maybe you said to Lu Lu, "Who do you think allows you to live?"
No... I never said that.
But you say it differently.
Ugh disgusting.
Do you really think I can go back after that embarrassing event?
-This is up to you. -You are very cold about things like that.
you should push.
Can't you support?
- Stop laughing. -You reply to your arrogance.
-That's Yi Lin that I know. -What?
I want you to come to here at 4 pm tomorrow.
Huh?
What is it, work?
-Don't be late this time. -Wait a minute!
I don't want to go.
That's what I'm weak.
To be honest, I'm afraid of failure.
Huh? Something is written.
Go get them, Sis!
Lu Lu...
We expect you.
This way.
What is this about?
-is! -Lu Lu!
did I surprise you?
- The show starts, so get dressed. -That's too sudden. I can not.
That will be fine. Come now.
Wait a minute...
Which one is older?
This clothes...
This is my favorite color.
you remember.
Lu Lu made it only for me.
Steve reaches out to people he knows.
You say you're not my manager anymore.
But I'm still your friend.
Thank you.
Lu Lu...
What I see from here...
I don't want to lose it. That is very dear to me.
I don't care if I embarrass myself.
I don't let it go.
After that, I finished school and started making clothes to make a living.
Sis seems to enjoy himself more, doing what he wants.
I made clothes and she wore them.
Only with ourselves, we have our own little fashion show.
"SMALL FASHION SHOW"
Have you ever thought about the future?
FALL 2008
I was asked that question for a long time.
Why did it cross my mind?
How do I answer?
I don't even remember.
Li Mo, impulsive as usual, huh?
When you say you will move, you move immediately.
I haven't exercised much since graduation. Today is hard.
-What's the rent here? 100,000 a month.
That's steep. Can you pay with your salary?
It's only been two years since you started.
This small hotel in Shikumen? Do you plan to build this?
This is city development. The reputation of our firm is at stake.
Have you ever thought about client needs?
You don't see it, right?
It's time for you to wake up!
Shut up! Leave me alone!
I'm just saying to wear warm clothes. There is nothing to upset.
Little things are annoying. I have to focus on work.
I left the house. Already choosing an apartment.
I know it's childish...
Talk to him...
... but I said it, so I will follow it up.
Pan, one box is missing.
Very? I think we have everything.
-We will pick it up tomorrow. -Can not wait.
There are tools that I need inside. I have to start with the blueprint.
This room has a good view.
Don't open the window, Pan! Wind!
Wow, you can see Shikumen from here!
Some parts have not been destroyed. Your grandmother still lives there, right?
When we were young, the place was like a huge maze.
From here, it's just spotting.
Let nostalgia for later and help me here.
This is from high school exam preparation...
SMALL RAIN, THEN SUN
This is a recording from Xiao Yu. Do you still have it?
What do you mean? What is being done here?
you're learning like crazy for an exam.
Xiao Yu asked me to give it to you.
It's a bit awkward, so I gave it to your mother.
don't you know?
Do you have a cassette player?
Do you know what year it is? Of course I don't have it.
there.
Hey, where are you going?
What will you do with these items?
If it's not the end, please let me hear it.
The love that I closed, the dream I pursued...
At that time, you and me, we had everything.
Has too much time gone by? Is it too late to ask
something besides goodbye?
If you're not here, my heart will still hurt tomorrow.
"LOVE IN SHANGHAI"
SUMMER 1999
This is being built. Watch your step.
Hello, Mother.
How's the glass, sir?
Oh, hi, Xiao Yu.
They are great. I can read newspapers better.
It's nice to hear that.
I got some flower seeds. I will take them next time.
Pan, play Xiao Yu's tape first.
There is no "first woman" among friends.
-You're a fool-- Stop, you two. Let's listen to the song.
Give me one, too, Xiao Yu.
I know Xiao Yu likes Li Mo.
You're really stupid, Pan.
Why are you so angry?
I think I'm right.
Xiao Yu likes Li Mo!
I will hit you. Seriously The recording!
-This has been fixed. -That is a punishment from above.
-What are you saying? -Calm down. Let's listen to mine.
Already home, Xiao Yu? Why don't you have dinner with us?
Thank you, there's a test tomorrow. I have to study.
Good girl.
Why didn't you take him home?
Grandpa! you sound like Pan.
Xiao Yu!
So many developments have happened here.
Yes.
- The road is cracked and they don't fix it. -Right.
You can drop me here. I can walk.
When I put you before, you were like, "Ow, ow!"
Shut up!
I said it for you.
Stop it, it hurts.
Stay here! That is dangerous.
Hold tight or you will fall!
can you go to school with those legs?
If I can't leave, can you record lessons in class?
On this recording.
Say something funny too. I will listen to it repeatedly.
Of course, if that makes you happy.
Wow, can't wait! But maybe you will be disturbed in class.
are you going to be quiet?
Oh, hi, Li Mo.
This is from class. Please give it to Xiao Yu.
Get it right away so you can go back to school.
Good.
XIAO YU
Can you hear me, Xiao Yu?
Look at the second line on page six.
Li Mo! What are you mumbling about?
What did you do with the recorder?
If you want to sing, come forward.
I can explain...
Hey! Are your legs okay?
Yes, thank you for your help. I recorded something too.
SMALL RAIN, THEN SUN
Hey... have you thought about the future?
Where will you be, what will you do?
I have. I will build a house big enough for all of us.
Pan on the first floor, I'm in the second position, and you're in the third.
We will listen to songs together, even when we are adults.
I never thought about it myself, so I want to ask you a question.
That's not too bad.
What is your favorite color?
I think... red. It seems warm.
Favorite flowers?
Sunflowers, because they grow toward the sun.
Who is your favorite person?
Li Mo, listen...
I took the exam for the Yangpu University High School.
Are you seriously going to Yangpu? It is a super elite school.
You never mentioned it.
You can go to Yangpu University based on achievements from high school.
My father insisted I leave.
Just because your parents told you...
But it's far away. How will you get there?
Good...
I have to move.
Xiao Yu...
What do you want to do?
I... don't want to move. But...
But will you do what your parents say?
Just go ahead!
Where did you go? We're not done here yet!
What's wrong, Li Mo? you're not hungry
Did something happen at school? Your lesson must be difficult.
Here, eat meat. you need nutrition.
Mother, don't be soft on him. It's not like he's aiming that high.
What about Xiao Yu? Where does he want to go?
Affiliation of Yangpu University.
Getting to know him is not surprising.
She's always smart.
You have to be more like him.
I will shoot for Yangpu, too.
Are you serious? With your score, it's almost impossible.
And it's far away. How do you get there?
You're not just saying this, right?
I'm serious! I will go to middle school, and then to Yangpu University!
If you're serious, that might work.
Works?
A friend told me there was an opening for an apartment in the Yangpu District.
This area may be destroyed,
so this might be a good opportunity to leave Shikumen.
Li Mo, give your best and don't regret it.
Clean your room and focus on your lesson.
If you want to graduate, there is no time to find fault.
This is your recording.
Nothing needs to be recorded again.
Good luck in your exam.
Which school will you apply?
Schools are close, like everyone else.
180 DAYS LEAVING HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
won't you say anything?
Yes, it would be embarrassing if I failed.
If you say one word, our friendship is over.
That's crazy. you're out of your mind.
Only because Xiao Yu is taking the test
you reach too high to be your partner.
Not so. I just want to prove what I can do.
What did you just say?
Wait!
Learning is important, but also rest.
Don't burn yourself. And...
Grandpa and Grandma live. So we only move three.
And Pan asked me to give this recording to you.
He wants you to listen to it.
I don't have time. Put it in the box there.
What is the problem, Li Mo? What's the hurry?
I need a cassette player.
I'm alone, so I don't cook much anymore.
It's okay. Don't worry, Grandma.
Are you hungry? Do you want some cake?
They destroyed this area, right?
Did you talk to Father about that?
They started to knock down the side of the road but stopped here.
It looks like it won't restart immediately,
it's hard for me to go.
Hey! Xiao Yu!
Are you home?
Shut up. Xiao Yu isn't home.
Last night I was so crazy I couldn't sleep. Give me a break.
Not at home? What happened last night?
you're embarrassing!
Looks like Xiao Yu failed the exam.
His father was very angry about that.
He becomes rude,
and he was taken to the hospital.
The police came, and it was very messy...
ADMISSION LETTERS
Moving days comes without seeing it.
Leave home...
and Grandma and Grandpa.
Life in the new city will begin soon.
Xiao Yu...
That's the school you should go to.
What happened?
I can't help...
thinking about you.
Looking up at the sky, after the rain.
SPRING 2002
Xiao Yu,
let's sit and eat.
Good.
You're quite mature now, Xiao Yu.
It's been a long time since the three of you met.
This is a call for celebration!
I hear you!
Let's drink, Li Mo.
you're in middle school.
And it's still noon!
We each go to different high schools.
We used to be inseparable.
Now we can't communicate.
Unlike before,
we don't know what to say.
You already have a CD player.
So is everyone at school.
That voice is bad in the recording.
I think so... There are no more tapes...
The ribbon... you listen to it, right?
It's embarrassing, so Can you throw it away?
Recordings? What are you talking about?
No... it's nothing.
I'll be fine from here.
Return to others.
It's okay, I'll take you home.
We passed this road many times,
I will not get lost.
I think you're right.
Li Mo,
Is it true that you chose the school because of me?
Why did you say that?
I just want to prove to my parents , I can do it.
It has nothing to do with you.
Oh well.
Pan said that because of me.
Don't be silly.
You can't believe what he said.
I don't think so. Well.
I will leave now.
We are late to send him away.
Gosh, when will it move?
He can tell us about going to America to study.
I think we're friends.
Excuse me, can you stop smoking?
It's smoky behind...
Hey, Li Mo, don't play in the basketball match next week.
you're still hurt.
Don't be careless.
I will tell your mother if you don't listen to me.
I will do what I want.
I don't care what other people say , is that bad?
Desperate or not, I will believe in myself.
You said you like sunflowers, right?
I want to face the sun and grow too.
I don't want to give up.
I will not make excuses for myself in the future and regret it.
Then... don't delete this record, okay?
When we grow up, let's listen together.
I thought about it.
I want to grow like a sunflower too.
I don't want to be sorry.
That's why I'm not going to go to Yangpu University Affiliate College.
Because...
I don't want without you.
I can't reverse time.
I'm too childish.
I don't know...
as if burning the heart alive,
the hurt that I gave you.
Why am I not...
listen to your voice?
If I have the chance to meet again...
the dream we have...
I still want it for us.
Stick to it...
pray...
Please monitor your steps.
Shikumen is like an antique item, and the stairs are narrow.
You forgot the room key, Pan.
Welcome, do you have a reservation?
Li Mo! Xiao Yu! Faster!
Pan, don't run alone!
He hasn't changed a bit.
Xiao Yu, want to sit next to me?
you were there!
Look at how close the plane is.
Wow, you're right!
- I'm glad it's sunny today. -Yes.
Flights to Guangzhou departing 11:45 are now up...
Laughter and tears,
woven into a song. What kind of story will be told?
From yesterday's stop,
guiding our spirit towards the future,
Today's trail will resonate
and reach tomorrow.
