Mr. Fu!
Mr. Fu, don't blame yourself.
Even though you are also responsible,
we know you're a dedicated teacher.
You always work hard.
To help your students,
You use personal money to buy a dictionary.
We know that.
Right, Mr. Fu!
You teach almost all additional classes.
You're willing to sacrifice your time.
We don't want to lose you.
Mr. Wong from the Ministry of Education.
Bring your belongings back.
Yes, I know.
I gave a warning letter.
I will not fire him.
He's a good teacher.
If I were him,
I'll tell my father to donate to school.
Do you think you can finish with money?
Of course, schools now need money.
They always ask for donations!
With money,
The principal will cancel the sentence.
Look down!
Don't mess!
Just kidding.
She's our friend.
Forgive us, Your Majesty!
I immediately went there.
Sorry, I have additional lessons.
How are you?
It's weird not going to school.
I also feel weird if you don't exist.
Let's go snack.
I have no money.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
I hear you're great fighting.
We need people like you.
Want to join?
We have to know the key.
Focus on their talents and not on their shortcomings.
Please sit down. Can I help you?
Sit down.
Principal, give my child a chance once more.
I'm the one who didn't educate him well.
Principal, give a chance.
Your kindness will definitely be returned!
Mr. Lim, Chengcai is a bad boy.
All schools know about him.
I have to enforce the rules.
We can be more open.
School rules are also made by humans.
What I can do for you,
is recommending Chengcai to another school.
Anything else?
Civil servants may not accept gifts, right?
This is not for you.
This is for your mother.
My mother is dead.
This is for your grandmother... your neighbor.
Keep talking.
Your words are not polite.
Forgive her... Principal.
Actually, this isn't for you.
You said you wanted to buy from me.
Take it first. You can pay later.
Sorry, but according to regulations...
I told you we should bring ducks.
Can you help us, Principal?
Right! His son is sorry.
He won't attack the teacher again.
If repeated, his father will punish him.
Right! Don't worry, Principal.
If you repeat it,
I'll teach you to death!
Give me 3 reasons
why do I have to accept your child?
My son is only 15 years old.
He hasn't graduated from school.
If he drops out of school,
he will be like me,
useless people.
The second and third reason...
same as the first.
That's 3 reasons right, ma'am?
There are more than 100 schools in Singapore.
Does anyone want to accept my child?
If your child is smart, smart sports
or children of the rich,
or the child of a high official,
or subordinate child officials...
they will definitely accept it!
And begging him to enter their school!
This is the reality in our society.
Is that clear?
Steven, this project is worth 3 million.
The success of all of us
depending on your presentation.
Give me a great concept.
Steven, if this project is successful,
You will be promoted.
and get a 10% commission.
Try!
Tom!
You should learn instead of blogging!
Some people have been jailed because of blogging.
Haven't you understood it yet?
Do your homework!
Where are you going?
Tom!
Where do you want to go?
Tom!
New concept. It's easy for him to talk.
Hello!
I can't stand it anymore.
I scold him, and he leaves home.
What? Out of the house?
Good too.
You're good at creating blogs.
I don't really understand but I think you're great.
Good! Extraordinary!
Tom, your parents don't care about your work.
They don't have time for you.
No problem, you still have us.
We will protect you.
If someone bothers you, we will beat you up!
Just beat it! Do not be afraid!
You are an expert at using computers.
I gave the creation of our group homepage to you.
Are you able?
If your work is good, this will be yours.
Who is he?
Let's go home.
Don't want to.
I'm kind, let's hurry home.
Don't want to!
Can you stay away from my child?
Can you leave?
Are you still hanging out with him?
You're punished because of him.
Don't insult my friend.
He gave you a bad influence.
Do you think he's your friend?
Right! They are all my friends!
They're with me when I'm in trouble.
They recognize my talent.
What is your talent? Hah?
Alright! I am useless!
For you, I'm of no use!
Everything I do is not good enough for you!
My business is never enough for you!
Forget it, let's just say I'm dead!
I have no hope!
We all have no hope!
You only need Jerry.
Tom, how do you understand?
How do you understand?
Forget it, let's go home with me.
I don't want to go home!
Let's go home!
Don't want to!
Let's go home!
Don't want to!
I said go home!
Why do I have to go home ?! That's not my house!
Let's go home!
Don't want to!
I said let's go home !!
Don't want to!
He beat our friend.
We beat him up?
Are you crazy? That's his father!
- I said go home !! - Do not force me!
Boss, there's a police officer.
Quickly split up!
- Come home! - Do not want!
West Jurong Police.

Yes.
Your son was caught fighting.
Now he is in the West Jurong Police.
Can you come?
I've been here.
You father and son?

Do we have to call a psychiatrist to check it out?
What happened?
OK.

When asked just answer "Yes!", "Right!", "OK!".
No wonder your child is the same!
It drops from you.
Ma, I'm confused.
Can you not interfere?
I'm annoying?
Every time I talk about your child
you don't want to listen.
You don't even listen to your child.
"So lame." (Bad)
"So lame"? (Bad)
Ma, is that "so lame"?
You don't know?
That's your child's slang, understand?
"Cool man", "so lame". (Cool, poor)
Your clothes are "cool". Gift from your mother?
cool = Cool
You must have chosen yourself.
Your taste is not good.
He only pays, right?
"Whatever". (Whatever)
"So lame". (Bad)
What do you want to order?
lame = Broken
Can I order a "lame" steak?
lame = Broken
"Lame"...
Cow = Lamb
That means steak lamb.

Don't have to use "lame" huh?
lame = Broken
"Lame".
Sure.
Whatever = Whatever "Whatever".
I ordered black pepper steak.
The school is about to go off right?
Yes.
I will take 1 week off,
cool = Cool
and take you for a walk, "cool man"!
Hm.
Look, I bought you a 3G cellphone.
We rarely meet.
Use this 3G cellphone,
so you can see me and I can see you.
cool = Cool
"Cool man"!
Even so,
it doesn't mean you call as you like,
What's more with your gang friends again.
You don't like it?
You blame me for not paying attention to you.
I've invited you to dinner
and buy a good cellphone.
Is this your attitude?
Besides "Yes", "Right", "OK",
Can you not talk to others?
lame = Broken
"So lame".
lame = Broken
Your "lame" steak, sir.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
"... who will always be with us".
5, 6, 7, 8...
All right, all 5 minutes rest.
Jerry, you're very nice today.
Thank you.
There hasn't been an answer from your father?
There are still 4 tickets left.
Xiaohua will buy it if you don't want to.
Let me know before Friday, okay?
Yes.
Stay good!
Will your family come to the show?
Of course, my whole family
and also all distant siblings
will come to the show.
I need more tickets.
You're just a flower.
Do you have to invite your whole family?
My entire family supports me Will your parents come?
Of course!
I also invited all the neighbors.
I'm the main character.
I'm not just a flower!
Can I withdraw money?
Son, do you have savings?
I have a child savings account.
I want to take money.
Are your parents there?
No.
Sorry, but you have to come with your parents
if you want to withdraw money.
Where have you been? Worries me!
Your mother can scold me, let's go home!
How much is your test score?
12.
Strange, Mr. Fu doesn't scold me.
Yeah, weird!
Jingjing.
Wow! Cool!
How much did you get?
12.
Your score is up 2 points.
It's better, keep trying.
Next raise 5 points, okay?
5 points? Can I?
You can do it!
You two also try!
Raise 5, okay!
I'm fine.
Everytime we come here, even before we start,
security officers will watch us.
Both of you who don't look the least suspicious.
So you guys do it.
Are you sure we can?
I trust you.
Remember, take the most expensive iPod.
Don't run!
Catch him!
Don't run!
Chengcai?
Catch him!
Don't run!
Catch him!
Are you okay?
Why did you let it escape?
Stop you guys!
Stop!
Which group members are you?
Where are your friends?
Dare to run away huh?
Squatting! I say squat!
Want to run? Want to try running?
I'm falling to chase you!
- Pain! - You like to steal, huh?
The police have been watching you for a long time.
Actually...
I planned this, he was not involved.
No, I have a plan.
He is not involved.
Shut up!
This is our first time, can't we finish it okay?
Sure!
Can be with money.
How much?
2000 dollars in 2 days.
Can it be reduced?
3000 dollars in 1 day.
We mean less...
5000 dollars...
Alright! 2000 dollars!
Listen, don't mess.
Where is your cellphone?
Submit your mobile!
Sorry, your call has no answer...
Son, you call and just stay quiet.
Did your parents never teach you?
If you can't call idly?
What? I'm watching in front!
Prepare 2000 dollars if you don't want to go to jail! Don't call the police!
Sis, what do you want my money for?
Why do you have so much money?
To buy a "Pokemon" card?
Can I borrow first?
I need 2000 dollars tomorrow,
or I'll go to jail.
Why?
I got caught stealing.
Two cops are blackmailing me.
If I don't bring 2000 dollars tomorrow,
they will arrest me.
But money is important to me.
Forget it. If I were you, I also wouldn't lend it.
I'm always mean to you.
Hello, I have no money.
Who can help us?
My family?
Just forget it!
I also can't contact our friends.
Who else can lend money?
Sis, take it.
Don't you need this money?
You need more than me.
I don't want you to go to jail.
Thank you.
Fuck our friends! They all disappeared!
Strange. Where are they?
Still lacking. How about this?
I give up! Let me be expelled!
We are still children, if we are arrested the sentence will not be heavy.
Where can that be?
You still have to go to school.
Don't be like me. Not good!
The money is lacking. So how?
I have an idea.
I come with you.
This is a serious problem.
You have to advise him.
You really are outrageous.
Why did you steal money at school?
Stealing to buy a "Pokemon" card?
You're broken because of that card!
Do you steal from other people too?
Where is the money? Not in a piggy bank?
- Where is the money? - Where is the card?
Bring me a whip!
Stand up!
Why are you stolen?
I bought everything you asked for.
You already have many "Pokemon" cards,
so we stop buying you!
Why are you stealing money ?! Take your hand!
Here is your hand!
Stealing to buy a "Pokemon" card!
What is the point of having lots of cards?
I didn't buy a "Pokemon" card...
What then?
I just want to buy 1 hour of your time
to come to my show.
I want to use my savings.
But it takes a year to save 500 dollars.
At that time my show was finished.
I sell all my "Pokemon" cards,
but the results are not enough.
Stealing is my last way.
I'm sorry.
Pa, please answer my call. - Tom
Pa, did you have August 31? -Jerry
My father's laptop was broken last night.
He left her at home this morning.
I tried messing with it.
in the hope of improving it,
so I can help father's work.
But when I send it to,
he's not grateful He accused me of damaging his laptop.
I'm confused,
what should I do to make him happy?
Today Mr. Fu said he was disappointed with me.
I got 38 for my test.
He asks if I can still be expected?
The caning sentence killed Tom Yeo.
Tom Yeo is dead today!
my mom? He always presses me.
Everything I do
it's never good enough for him.
When I was in middle school,
I got the wrong bus and got lost.
I'm scared.
I called dad from a payphone.
He said he was too busy to talk.
I was scared because I was lost.
I arrived home late at night.
Mother scolded me without asking first at all.
Slowly, I realized that my house it's just my place to sleep.
This family seems to have everything.
But actually I feel empty.
You have no hope.
And not useful.
Do you want to be a useless person like me?
Why don't you understand?
Understand? Understand?
Why don't you listen?
Don't listen? Not listening?
You have no hope.
And not useful.
I failed as a mother!
Do you know what this means?
"FAMILY: Father And Mother I Love You" (Father and Mother I love you)
Not connected... Not connected...
Strange...
Is he busy?
He didn't pick up the phone?
Pa, this is the same as if we called you.
"Your call is not answered,
or is out of reach.
Please try again later. "
I promise it won't happen again, okay?
I have it.
I will be there soon. Okay.
From my boss.
I have a 3G percentage today . This contract is worth 3 million dollars.
I have to hurry.
I'm sure it's okay.
Grandma, sorry. This is yours.
They're the culprit?
Yes! They the culprit.
You are so presumptuous of robbing parents!
We realize we are wrong. Therefore we return it.
Do you think that's enough?
That's right! You still have stolen it! ! Call the police!
Right! Catch them!
Thieves! Catch them!
Don't run!
Not connected... Not connected...
Get out of the way!
Not connected... Not connected...
There's a thief, over there!
Who dares to steal in our area?
Not connected... Not connected...
Beat them!
Sorry to wait...
Release! Let me go!
Welcome to Singapore.
Today, I will introduce
the latest communication technology.
We call it a 3G cellphone...
Sorry...
Basic thief!
Hey! Stop! Don't hit my child
Who are you?
Sorry! Wait a minute!
I'm my father!
Why beat my child?
Your child?
Where are you guys? I will be there!
We will wait for you!
I'm there now!
Are you giving an example?
No, this is real!
My child is in trouble, I have to go!
I know your child is important,
but we have guests here!
This is important. You can't leave.
I need you here.
But my son needs me, I have to go!
You know the risk.
If you leave now...
Steven!
Sorry, wait a minute.
Steven!
You disappointed me!
You're fired!
You will also be fired!
Pursue!
Dare to find a problem here?
Hold him!
Fuck!
Damn it!
Insolent! Do you dare to fight?
Fuck!
Hey!
Don't hit my child!
Run away!
Why beat him up?
We are talking carefully!
Don't fight! Do not fight!
Calm down!
Don't be emotional!
Don't fight! Calm down!
Run away, Chengcai!
Hey! Watch out!
Watch out!
Father...
We want to arrest him, we did not expect.
Daddy! Father!
Are you his father?
Yes! Why are you beating my child?
Your son robbed this grandmother!
Robbing? Did you rob it?
We realize we are wrong,
so we have returned the necklace.
Why are you robbing? Ha?
2 police caught us stealing.
They extorted us 2000 dollars.
If we don't pay, we will go to jail.
Serious problems like that,
why not tell me?
Hey!
You can't teach your child !!
Right!
I'm telling you...
I've been
until I end up patiently teaching my child.
You just focus on things that are not important.
And scold him even though he's right!
A good child is naughty because of you.
To the extent that he becomes a thief!
Who are you?
She's my father-in-law. I'm his wife.
We educate our children wrongly.
Note that the blog makes us aware
he is more disappointed with us,
than us against him.
Say something!
Grandma, we always think
educating children means
scold and beat them.
But we are wrong.
Look at my child now.
He is proof of our mistake.
My son has robbed you. He is wrong!
But actually, the mistake is
comes from our mistake.
We are responsible.
The police are coming!
Grandma, please forgive my child.
Can you leave him this time?
Please don't report it to the police.
Give him a chance, Grandma!
Please!
She's a good kid!
He is not an evil child!
Give him a chance.
I'll teach him again, Grandma!
Please?
How about this?
Tell the police that I'm robbing you!
Tell them I'm the culprit!
Please!
Get up!
Don't be like this!
Tell them I'm the culprit!
Get up! Do not be like this!
Excuse me! Please step aside!
Hey! Turns out you!
And you too!
Wait.
Who reported there was theft?
I robbed this grandmother.
Just catch me!
No!
I'm the culprit! Catch me!
Me! Catch me!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
This is confusing!
Grandma, who robbed you?
None. I lied.
I'm just playing games.
It's okay... I just need to make a statement.
You obey your father!
Dah!
The person lying there is your father.
You hate it, right?
Do you know what he did?
Even though you're not smart,
he works hard to pay for your school.
Your bag is broken,
he bought you a new one.
When you are issued,
he went to all schools in Singapore
and begging them to accept you.
He asked me to write a letter for him,
and he copied 163 times to be sent to all schools.
He can't write in English.
but he copied hands 163 letters in English.
What have you done for your father?
He just wants you to study hard.
But you disappointed him,
and expelled from school.
He is willing to give his whole life for you.
Your father loves you very much.
But...
He just doesn't know how to show it.
Calm down, we've checked.
Tom is a rich kid.
2000 dollars is too small.
What do you want?
We will do it slowly.
For a long time.
If he can't pay,
You know what will happen, right?
OK.
Where is the money?
The money...
My money is brought by my father.
Don't say we have to meet your father?
No, he will come.
I'm my father.
Sorry my son has troubled you.
Fortunately there are police like you in Singapore.
Thank you for helping my child.
We don't want him to have a criminal record.
Thank you.
We still have hearts.
We just want to help.
Of course...
2000 dollars.
For problems like this, I guess...
2000 dollars is too little.
I'll give you more.
- Really? - Yes. Thank you!
You have to watch him next time.
Understand?
This is fake!
Fake? Of course!
You guys are fake police too!
This is money for the dead!
What?
You too will die now!
Understand?
There is a police officer! Let's go!
Release! Don't catch me!
How do you know they are fake?
I am your father.
So you mean...
Hi Steven!
I'm out! Why call me
I have good news!
We got the project! See!
Hi Steven, our management
very impressed with your presentation demo.
We decided to provide a 3G project.
Congratulations!
When will you be back?
Back to work?
Let me think again!
e = Broken
"So lame!"
l = Cool
"So cool!"
tever = Whatever
"Whatever!"
Principal, I don't know where to go anymore.
This school has rules...
Thank you.
Chengcai,
Does the Principal want to accept you?
Do you go to school again?
Yes!
The principal accepts you?
I know he's a good person.
Chengcai, this is your last chance,
You must use it well.
I want to meet with the Principal.
I want to thank you.
Well! Father!
Doctor! Doctor!
So in the future,
this problem...
Principal!
Don't you see us in a meeting?
Not polite!
Principal!
How many times do I have to repeat?
Principal, my father is dying, he wants to meet you.
And... please tell him...
I have been accepted back to school.
What?
Do you want me to lie?
Doctor! His condition is critical.
He can die at any time.
Is his family here?
Yes.
Where are they?
He's his son, I'm his friend.
Alright. Follow me.
Just go straight!
I'm the Principal, Mr. Fu.
How can I lie?
I know.
And you also know I have to enforce the rules.
I know.
If we get caught,
we can bother.
Your Chinese is getting more proficient.
I know.
Why did you throw away the apple?
It's rotten.
Just throw away the rotten part.
Just eat the good parts.
If you throw it away, you don't have anything else.
By the way, your hair is nice.
Thank you for coming.
Don't talk much, take a break.
Right!
Chengcai already
back to school.
You don't need to lie.
I know you're having a hard time getting it back.
Principal,
all children can be taught,
depending on how the parents.
I failed as a father.
I grew up in a harsh environment.
Nobody pays attention to me.
I don't know how to show affection.
Chengcai,
if you really like martial arts,
become world champion.
I love you.
Principal,
I know my time is limited,
but I hope you chant Chengcai a chance to prove himself.
Don't say that.
You look still healthy.
You will be home soon.
One or two days at the most.
You're still healthy...
Just one or two days, I'm sure.
Luckily this time I didn't obey the rules too much.
Everyone has dreams.
From dreams, come hope.
Everyone needs dreams.
With dreams, there is power.
Dreams illuminate your heart like a sun,
illuminates your whole world.
Dreams guide you to the right path,
giving you courage
to move forward.
Since I was born,
I have a dream.
My dream is...
Papa and Mama finally came to my show.
I'm happy, but more important
they found the key that Pak Hao meant.
Everyone has that key in themselves.
When we were little,
there is so much support and praise
to help us get past the obstacles.
We don't realize how lucky we were at that time.
As time passed,
support and praise it
changes as we grow older.
Everything is different.
Give more praise.
Look at someone's good side.
Is that difficult?
Everyone needs praise.
But why do we often hesitate
to just give a compliment?
In every child,
there is a dark side and a bright side.
Look for the bright side,
and all the good ones will appear.
There is a saying that reads,
"Useful items used incorrectly will be useless."
"useless items used correctly will be useful."
Principal and Pak Fu acknowledge Ms. Chengcai's talent.
And a miracle is created.
From here, we learn
acknowledgment of someone is a source of strength.
Sis Chengcai is no longer hopeless.
This miracle might come from
the simplest word...
the expression, even the smallest action.
We never know
what can we change.
