Registration for "Strictly Come Dancing"
is about to start.

We've got to get in this year.

Come!

171 cm.

170 cm.

55 cm.
41 cm.

Your shoulders are really narrow.

Please come over here, everybody.

Stand still.

The final criteria to determine

who will make the team
and attend the competition



includes top dancing techniques,

standard weight and height,

and

also consistent skin tone.

What's that for?

Huang.
I'm here.

Uh... what the teacher was
trying to say is

you can't pull off miraculous
makeover on a dried salted fish.

Somebody still thinks she's a mermaid.

We don't want to dance
with the little sea maid.

She smells like salted fish.

Except for Huang,

other girls should get ready

for the next round of dance tryouts.



Everyone, please get in your position.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

Auntie!

Auntie!

I heard you came to retake your courses.

Yeah, my grades weren't great.

Don't be too ambitious.

Auntie, you're just like
in the old days.

Graceful and gorgeous!

You were only three years old
last time I saw you.

I didn't think you'd remember anything.

I still remember something.

By the way, your dad didn't invite
you to his own wedding?

My dad said that I'm a little bit
too old to be the ring bearer

and a little bit too young
to be his best man.

Fine.

It's you right here.

Auntie, just wait...

Hey! Wait up!

Are you okay?

I thought I smelled salted fish.

Turns out it's the little sea maid.
Hurry up!

The commencement dance is about to start!

You are the little sea maid.

From the Hans Christian Andersen
Fairy Tales.

Dance show of the commencement!

Get ready!

A new semester begins.

Run like a flag in the wind.

Let's cheer!

Hi youngsters.

Give me five.

Guide me in the future.

We are ready to get going.

Get going.

Encounter laughter and tears.

I guess sunshine and rainy days

are also our classmates.

Youth is just like the chocolate in a box.

When you have faith in
the adventure in the box,

you'll find tomorrow.

Lalalalala.

It's your dream blooming.

Lalalalala.

It's your new self blooming.

Lalalalala.

It's a song blooming.

Lalalalala.

It's the fireworks blooming.

Pop quiz is on the way.

Go ahead and take the exam.

School uniforms and sneakers.

We are shoulder to shoulder.

Read your heart.

I'll always be there

for you.

On my count, 3, 2, 1. Let's go together.

Youth is just like the chocolate in a box

When you have faith in
the adventure in the box,

The future of the young

is only bright and refreshing.

It's the whole summer blooming.

Are you going to be
my chocolate box?

It's an adventure blooming.

We are going to see the sea.

Look! What's the
little sea maid doing?

What the hell is that?

Why is there a boy in our school?

Those two just look silly!

Hurry!

Your school is across the street.

We've been talking about doing
something big

since the third grade,

but after all these years,

what is that "something" really?

Since ancient times,

every trio has been trying
to achieve something big.

Look at the three sworn brothers,
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

I think we are just short of a chance.

You mean we just need an opportunity?

Right. We are short of
one goal or one person.

Or one person.

I heard everything

you guys just said.

Who are you?

I'm the new transfer.

You're my soldier.

I'm your soldier!
No!

You're my unqualified soldier.

I'm your unqualified soldier.
No!

You can't meet my soldier standard!

How could I face the principal
of the female high school?

I'm sorry. I'm still a student.

That's right.

It's 3 o'clock now.

Stand here for two hours as a punishment.

If there's anyone here

who is willing to keep you company...

I'll cut half an hour for you.

Sir!

I will stand with him.

Me, too.

I'm willing to do that.

My street name is Ol' Dog.

My street name is

Traditional Chinese Dragon.

Impressive!

A traditional Chinese dragon tattoo!

I'm Handsome Ze!

I'm Li.

We're up for something big.

Come on! It's pretty simple.

Come on.

I'm the best.

I'm the skinniest.

I'm just asking,

why should we all act
like monkeys up here?

Look!

Hello! It's me!

Look over here!

They think I'm slick,

and... cute.

They think I'm...

What's the deal with
the female high school?

Their school dance team is famous.

They're quite impressive.

They've attended Strictly Come Dancing
competition every year.

Who's that girl?

They are call her little sea maid.

The little sea maid really lives
up to expectations.

Her conduct grade was negative
at the beginning of the semester.

That's because she caused trouble
in the commencement dance performance.

Does her superstar mom

know about her negative conduct grade?

Of course not.

Stop looking at the little sea maid.

There's a boy here.
He wants to transfer here.

What's wrong with you?
You're a boy.

You want to transfer
to a female high school.

Because I saw them dancing

at the commencement ceremony.

For the very first time in my life,

I felt impressed and shocked.

You know how to dance?

No, I don't.

But I really do love dancing.

I think...

what drives us

is not some dancing technique.

It's the...

deep love.

That's silly.
He's a perfect match for Huang.

They'll make such a cute couple!

Such a cute couple!

Security.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hey!

Young man!

Young man!

Why did you moan?

Why did you sigh?

I moan because I'm lonely.

I sigh because I'm solitary.

That's pretty artsy.

I get you.

But it won't work to do this

if you would like to dance here.

How much should I spend
to get on your dancing team here?

Money is even more useless.

Only your dancing skills have voice here.

That... how did you get in?

Your moves are
quite different from others'.

Because I'm the lead.

So, my moves and rhythm are
for sure different from others'.

I thought all the leads
should stand in front of everyone.

Big bro.

You were talking about
the lead for radio gymnastics.

Don't you think our performance
was impressive?

It's quite impressive.

Is it innovative?
It's innovative.

Is it unexpected?

Yes.

That's why you could not have guessed.

Where do our leads stand?

That makes sense.

Dancing is a piece of cake.

Imagine that you are a piece of straw.

I'm a piece of straw.

Go with the wind.

Go with the wind.

You've got all four limbs

that dancing requires.

The only piece missing here
is a stepping stone to success.

What is it?

The invitation to the prom.

Can I for real get in?

Of course.

I'm feeling something here.

Apparently, only the lead knows
the shortcut to dance success.

Isn't that right?

That's right.

Go, go, go!

Thanks, little sea maid.

What does it mean here

by saying please attend in formal dress?

Does it mean normal dress?

I think it means suits and tie.

Let's try this shop.

Let's go make some money
and buy suits and ties!

What can you guys do?

We can deliver salted fish for you.

I've hired a driver for that.

Why should I hire you guys?

We are really strong.

That...

you should really show me what you've got.

We're in good shape.

Good shape.

Please tell me

what kind of girl

deserves a special present like this?

I really want to be a girl.

I want somebody to give me
a present like this.

I wish I were a girl.

My daughter should be out of school now.
Please stop. Put them away. Hurry up.

I don't want her to see it
and spoil the surprise.

Hurry!

Hurry up!

You're in probation period.
Come again next time.

Thanks boss!
Thanks!

Go.

My daughter's back.

Who are those four boys there?

The new help I just hired.

The timing is perfect. Let's go.

What is it?

How's your day at school today?

Wait.

It's a lot, that's for sure.

This is for your prom.

Prom or whatever...

I'm not interested.

You can't say whatever on that.

Your mom is...
Come on...

You've fooled me for so many years.

If my mom really is Sammi,

how come she's never come to see me?

I told you that before.

Loving her means
setting her free.

She works hard to be
a superstar.

She's happy now, and we
should be happy for her.

I'm not a child any more.

So... how could I fool you?

You should look up to your mother.

Be confident.

Be kind.

Be glowing.

Fine.

Where's my mom?

I want to see my mom.

That's your mom.

Do you see her there?

You can see your mom everywhere.

Your mom's here.

She's so pretty.

Your mom's there.

This is your mom.

Here.

So pretty.

Your mom's here.

When can I get to meet my real mom?

You... you really should
learn how to dance.

You get to see your mom

if you could dance well.

I want to be like mom.

What's so exciting?

Your dress is in the color of salted fish,
am I right?

What is the color of salted fish?

Welcome to the prom night
of Haikou middle schools.

We've been looking forward
to this moment for a long time.

Let's dance!

The student over there.

You...

Where's your prom date?

The little sea maid should be
dancing with the monkey king.

Our mundane people are not
privileged enough to dance with her.

If you don't have a prom date...

that...

Wait.

Her prom date

is me.

We are here today

to warm up the prom for everyone.

My motto is be happy
and live a healthy life.

In the future,

I want to be a happy guy.

Such a shame.

What performance are you putting on here?

Imagine you are a piece of straw.

There's a fine line
between a straw and a waster.

So what? As long as you're happy.

Why are you wiggling like that,
you female monster!

Come here!

You come here!

Don't we look like Monkey King
and Fairy Zi Xia?

What are you talking about?

I came to your rescue

on the seven-colored clouds.

How could you call
this seven-colored clouds?

By the way, you can
call me Ol' Dog.

And you?
You can just call me Huang.

What car is this?

It's a special car
of Strictly Come Dancing.

What is Strictly Come Dancing?

It's a dance competition.

Do you want to attend it?

Yes.

Because I really love dancing.

I wish I could be just like my mom.

Be free.

And be myself.

Who is your mom then?

That should be...

another miracle then.

I believe in miracles.

It doesn't matter
if you believe them or not.

It does matter

because there's people like me on Earth.

Now that you've seen what you saw today,

you should know

what little sea maid means.

It means salted fish.
Salty sea breeze.

I know.

It feels good!

We'll have this afternoon off
for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Where are you going to go, Bro Dog?

We three are together anyway.

Come with us.
Yes.

Yep.

Why are they looking at us?

Let me check with them.

An Yugang.

I'm so sorry.

We just thought it was huge

when you crashed the prom night.

Bro Dragon is the real deal here.

When Bro Dragon's tattoo meets water,

it becomes a real flying dragon.

Traditional Chinese Dragon!
You big fat liar!

You drew your tattoo with a pen.

Even though you guys are trending on Weibo,

your tattoo's fake.

How dare you pretend
that you're a badass here!

That's right. Now those girls
are looking down at us,

all because of you shameless people.

Maybe our school

is not the best when it comes to
the school environment and students,

but we still have our own dignity.

You cannot go out and
tarnish our school reputation.

That's right.

Is your place fun?

How many clothes should I pack
to visit your place?

You don't need to come over.

That's all your fault.

You have to make us all go
to the prom night.

That's the only reason why
we became such a joke,

and that's the only way they can find out

that all my tattoos are fake.

That's not on me.

Fine.

I'll blame myself for that.

You can blame me then.

I don't have anywhere else
to go if I can't go over to your place.

Hurry up!

Let's go home for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Are you here attracting guests

or just kicking them out?

We're running out of liquor.
You don't have a business without me!

Bro Hong. It's Mid-Autumn Festival.

That's right.
My son is coming back for the holiday.

Let me introduce to you,
this is my best friend

Smash, and this is Hit.

Hello.

How could you hide it
without holding your breath?

Why are you not talking?

Can you talk?
Can I go now?

Go. You can go if you wish.

You can go ahead and
pick on me if you have balls.

You mean you alone?
Stop "you"? Me.

Go hide behind my back.

Shame on you guys.

Why is it your business
that we're picking on him?

It is my business.

Who are you to him?
That's right.

Who am I?

Me?

Me?

I'm his mother.

I'm sorry, ma'am.
That's impressive.

Sorry, ma'am.

We'll get out of your face now, ma'am.
Bye.

I bumped into you again.

Why are you such a coward?

I'm just being polite.

Why not admit you're a coward?
What makes you think that?

What makes you think you're not?

I don't hide myself from them.

I get bullied by them fair and square.

I never ran away from them.

Why are they playing this video
every single year?

Switch.

Still it.

I mean why does she only exist on TV?

My dear daughter,

your dad's way of keeping you company

is

Always watching out for you

and always being there
for you every step of the way.

Your mom's way is just different.

She has to be on TV

and on the stage...

I mean I want my mom to be around
for holidays and special occasions.

The kind of mom who I can touch and feel.

Not this elegant mom
who is out of reach all the time.

She's trying to be a role model for you,
isn't she?

I don't want some role model.

I want a real mom.

Hello. Dad?
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hello.

Your dad is in the middle of something now.

He'll call you when he's got time.

Oh...

Can you hear me?

Hear me?

Can you hear me?

Hear my unspoken words?

Will the moonlight receive it?

Missing someone feels like

me dancing with my own shadow

silently yet loudly.

I want to

run toward you in the dark;

call your name by my heartbeat;

tell it's you from your back in the crowd

fly to you wobbly.

Fly to you.

When we both look up to the moon

our eyes meet in the sky.

We will miss each other when we apart.

Breeze is calling.

The moon is whispering.

I am no longer alone when they keep me
company chasing the light.

Who is it?

Me.

Your Bro Dog.

You are all by yourself

on holiday like this?

Aren't you alone as well?

I'm missing my mom.

Your mom is not by your side.

I only know she exists.

I've never met her.

Who's your mom?

That superstar who is always
on TV, on posters

and on all kinds of stages?

That's right.

Oh...

That's great.

Can't believe you buy that.

Of course.

Watch me.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hurry.

Come and find me.

Well...

I'm sorry.

That's alright.

It doesn't matter how they see us,

as long as we are happy.

But we are always the laughingstock here.

I feel awful.

That's why I wanted to draw a dragon
character in traditional Chinese.

I want to pretend that I'm a bad-ass.

So nobody would laugh at us.

For so many years,

we haven't done one impressive thing.

We've been looked down at and laughed at.

It feels so bitter

to think

that we might have to end
our youth with this.

No wonder you three were talking about
getting something big done the whole time.

Getting something big done.

As a matter of fact,

we are not cut out for it.

Unless...

unless there's a miracle.

A miracle?

I believe in miracles.

Do you want to attend it?
Yes.

Because I really love dancing.

Look.

That's the miracle you are looking for.

Tell me now.

What are we good at?

We are good at nothing.

That's right.

We fear nothing

because we are good at nothing.

That's right.
Yes.

We should attend
the dance competition together.

That's right.

No matter what we do, we'll get laughed at.

We might've just go on
one stage and try our best.

Try our best.
Great!

Getting laughed at is nothing new for us.

But if we can succeed at this,
at least we won't be laughed at

from the beginning

to the end of our youth.

Everyone,

do you have a dream or not?

No.

Do you want to have a dream?

No, we don't.
That's okay.

Then we can do something
that has nothing to do with dreams.

Let's dance together.

Speaking of dancing,

there's one person here.

Are you talking about the one
from the junior high?

Are we going to invite him to join us?

Who?

He's a legend.
Tell me about it.

He's from our junior high.

We all call him Bro Hua.

He's doing some good deeds
outside the campus.

He was totally out-numbered
and fought 10 people.

He took out all the people

with the dancing move

Thomas flair in place.

He gets his name out because of the fight.

Why did I fail the test again?

We should totally recruit him.

But his only passion is studying.

He only friends people
who can help him study.

We should help him study then.

Help him get better grades.

Then he has to join us
in the dancing competition.

Which one of us could help him study then?

Me.

Bro Hua. Everyone is good
at certain things and not good at others.

For example, I am terrible at
Chinese language and literature.

Maybe I am good at math.

You help me study?

You help me study?

We can go another way.
You can help me study instead.

I help you study?

Then we'll repay you
by taking you to the competition.

It will please you physically
and mentally.

Such a healthy way of living.

It's getting late today.

We should get together and study tomorrow.

Don't go.

Since we've made up our minds already,
we can do some previews

before classes tomorrow.

Now?
That's right.

Now.

It's fine if they've turned off the lights.

He does that every day.

So, I'm well prepared.

I've brought candles with me.

The starlight

enlightens your future.

We are reading for our bright future.

Sit down.

Punctuations listed below
are used in wrong ways.

Please note that they are incorrectly used.

Don't look at them the wrong way.

Maybe you thought
they were the correct ways.

Then you might see
them as the correct ways.

Hey! Pay attention.

How do you read this character?

Dancing team! The fifth member of the team,

Yang Qianhua is here now.

Welcome!

Senior schoolmate.
Lead.

Can I give it a go?

Why do you have to join the dancing team?

Because I want to attend
the competition with you.

Why's that?

My mom is one of the judges.

I want to dance for her.

Here comes the teacher.
Gather together.

I'll make an announcement.

This is the list of members
who are attending Strictly Come Dancing.

Everyone of the dancing team is going!

Huang.

Come here.

Come here.

This time, I'll leave the most
important dance move to you.

Me?
Yes.

I'll show you how to do it.

Alright.

When you attend the competition,
you'll be facing the judges and audience.

Then what?

Take a deep bow.

Then announce the name of our dance

and our dancing team.

Then what?

Which position I should go back
to in the team?

You are not going back.

Your whole performance ends here.

What do you expect?

What about...

you take my place?

I thought her dancing moves
were quite fine actually.

However, she doesn't really fit
in my formation.

Salted fish.

With pink ribbons.

Who is doing this?

Who?

You should go and check yourself
what's going on outside the school gate.

It's not your place here.

Are you trying to set up a stall here?

I really do like the color
of your car, uncle.

Thanks!
It really fits you.

Please root for Huang.

Please. Please root for Huang.

Come here.
Thanks, uncle.

Your daughter is so popular

in our school.

Isn't that right?
Of course.

Please!
Thank you!

Come over here. All of you!

My dear daughter!

It smells so nice.
Your dad is so nice.

Thanks so much for your fish.
It looks nice.

How is it?

Did you get in?

It has nothing to do with
your dad. It's all your own work.

Why are you taking all those
tacky things to my school?

What are you doing here?

We've got our own school dance team now.

We'd like to invite you
to be our lead and coach.

What does that have to do with me?
We'd love to learn dancing from you.

You...

are joking here, right?

We mean it.

You're the lead in your team.

You can come to our team and coach us then.

Are you some kind of idiot?

How could I be the lead?

I think you are qualified.

Do I look like a lead to you?
Of course you do.

I can't do it. I'm short and tanned.

And my conduct grade is negative now.

We are the same.

We don't have a stellar
conduct grade either.

We are just as bad.

And...

all of us are not really
good at dancing.

You can have all the spotlight to yourself.

Why are we doing this together after all?

To get laughed at with you?
No.

We can go
and attend the competition together.

Strictly Come Dancing.

You mean you?

You think you can
make it to the competition?

Have you won even once in your life?

That's why I am trying
to win for the very first time.

You can't do that.

Hey. Here's what I'm thinking.

We couldn't have won without you.

But now that we've got you,
we can win.

Who said anything about me
joining you guys?

Because I'm not.

Stop following me.

I'm not giving up.

You have to join us.

As long as you have faith,
nothing is impossible.

I don't buy that any more.

How...
How about... I pay you?

How about I pay you
200 yuan a lesson for coaching us?

I'll do it.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Now?

You can say all the things you want.

It doesn't mean a thing
if you don't even have 200 yuan.

Forget it.

I'm tight on money recently.

Can I give it to you after a few days?

200 yuan for a lesson.

I always honor my word.

It's a good bargain.

It's totally worth it.

You are Sammi's daughter after all.
Join us!

Let's go to Strictly Come Dancing together!

Join us!
For real!

Join us.

Let's go to Strictly Come Dancing together!

Can you just give it a go?
Give it a go!

Give it a go!
Hey!

What are you trying to do here?

I have no intention
getting hit by raindrops.

Nobody can hit on you except me.

Not even the rain.

My dad told me

if a boy is chasing
after you the whole time,

he is really chasing after you then,

especially in rainy days.

Watch your mouth.

Why should I believe that
you guys can actually dance?

You said it yourself.

Dancing is actually pretty easy.

We should be like a piece of straw.

Go with the wind.

Do you know why is there rainbows?

Enlighten me.

Leave some to me!

I'll invite Huang to be our dancing coach.

200 yuan for a lesson.

200 yuan?

5 of us together is
not worth 200 yuan.

No way. It's so expensive
to learn to dance.

It's true.

No one can succeed easily.

Use your brain.

Huang's different from the other girls
at the female school.

She's distinctive in her own way.

She must be poor.

Poor?

Yeah.

She's supporting her family
by teaching dance.

So we must help her to
tide over her difficulties.

It's a good deed.

Boss.

You even get your uncle
from your village in the team?

He's my schoolmate.

Here's the thing.
We've got 5 people here.

You can just pay us 200 yuan for a day.

200 yuan?

Get lost.

Boss. 5 people.

200 yuan for a whole day.

That's a good bargain.

It means you only need
to pay 40 yuan for one person a day.

Whatever. Fine.

Even beggars ask for more.

Why don't we just go to streets

and beg for money?

You're making a point here.

But what about we try to make
some money on our own first?

Boss. You said it yourself you'd
pay us more this time.

That's right, boss. Otherwise, we'll
really become beggars.

Then be beggars.

Let's go. Make money on our own.

Okay.

Stop moving things around.

Just get the ribbons off of the fish.

It really takes time and
effort to do that.

My daughter doesn't really like it.

It looks so cute.

If your daughter doesn't like it,
it's because she has bad taste.

If you have good taste, just tell me,

what girls in your age like usually?

They like boys in their age.

Do you know what your missing piece is?

We don't know ourselves well enough.

Now that's you knowing yourself
well enough right there.

Where's our coach?

Hi, coach.

Hi, coach.

But... the missing piece
is some real music.

Come on. Let's dance together.

Come on. One.

Three.

Okay, let's do it again.

Pull back.

Spread.
Six.

This dance really hurts my eyes.

I can't believe somebody is learning this.

What about... we forget about it for a bit?

We were getting laughed at before this.

Now, we can't help

but laugh at ourselves.

I heard this kid has been learning
how to dance recently.

After you learn how to dance,
you're still some salted fish.

Still some salted fish.

I could feel all of my fat
vibrating while I was running.

Now all of my fat shakes
even more when I am dancing.

We are too fat.

We are incompatible with
the whole world. Do you get it?

I still need some dignity to hold on to.

Now I...

only have this much left.

We cannot pull this off anyway.

What about...

we do something else for a change,
and try our best again?

I'll pay you a little bit more.

Thanks, boss.

Go.

Now, we've got money.

By the way, boss,

do you know who the first dancer is?

Why did he decide to dance?

Can I have those fish to myself?

Why's that?
I want to give it to my coach.

Thanks.
Bye.

You are dancing better and better now.

That's for sure.

We are all trying our best.

That's great.

I'll keep up the great effort too.

I'll go on stage with our dancing team.

And I'll dance for my mom.

Even though I only have one move to do.

As long as I can step foot on stage,
I'll catch my mom's eyes.

That's some strong faith.

Oh... right.

That's the money we should pay
for the past days.

Are you serious?

You guys did not go
and beg for money, did you?

Of course not.

We made money by working
at a salted fish store.

Salted fish store again.

How could I get all the money

from some salted fish stores my whole life?

What do you mean?

My dad is selling salted fish too.

It's really lousy.

He pretends that he is really classy.

He comes up with those
tacky things all the time.

My mom must have been fed up
with that and left us.

Speaking of which, I've
got a present for you.

How is it? You like it, right?

Where did you get this?

Our boss gave it to me.

Your boss?

Maybe our boss looks clumsy
and coarse on the outside.

Even a little tacky. But...

he came up with such a cute idea

to tie a bow knot with a pink ribbon
on the salted fish.

Isn't that adorable?

You think it's adorable?

I don't think the salted fish is adorable.

I think our boss is quite adorable.

What do you say?

How much does he love his daughter

for him to come up with such a funny way

to try to please her?

And, one more thing.

He told us that his daughter
is learning how to dance too.

He describes his daughter as a fairy.

He also told us that

his daughter can absolutely
dance better

than our coach, which means you.

We got pissed right there.

You can't make biased statement like that.

Not even when you are talking
about your own daughter.

We almost fought him.

I just wish my dad
could do the same thing for me.

You are back.

That's me doodling right there.

I'm changing the package here.

Dad.

The pink ribbon is nice enough.

Others don't like it because...

Because what?

I'm the little sea maid.

You are Sammi's daughter.

The superstar.

Isn't it a lie?

Has your dad ever lied to you?

Why's that I haven't got

any of my mom's beauty and body?

Who said that?

You are quite talented at dancing.

That's right.

I've been teaching others dancing recently.

My daughter's a coach now.

That's right.

My daughter's a coach now.

That's impressive.

200 yuan for a lesson.

That does not worth your while.

You can dance so well.
Here.

You've been giving me enough pocket money.

Now, this is me repaying you.

You are repaying me with only 200 yuan?

You think 200 yuan is enough to repay me?

Isn't this my money?

Strictly Come Dancing
must be fascinating this year.

That's right.
The whole dancing team is going.

They put out the list today.

Do you think we can win
the championship this year?

That's for sure.

No need to argue that.

How come I don't see your name on the list?

Can't you even take
a bow in the correct way?

Teacher.

Why isn't my name on the list?

We don't need an announcer
for the competition any more.

Please allow me to be
on the stage for a second.

I just need one second under the spotlight.

I just want my mom to see me.

Are you sure she's your mom?

It's OK that you kid around with us.

Don't believe in your own lie.

We've already submitted the list.

She's not even the announcer now.

That's right.

And her dad actually sent out
a truck of salted fish for her.

Huang.

I think you haven't practiced enough.

One minute on stage

takes ten years of practice off stage.

Think about it.

If your dad found out about this,

it must be really hurtful to him.

He sent out so many gifts.

He even tied pink ribbon
on the salted fish.

That's really tacky.

That's pretty out of line now.

Are you OK?

Hello.

We are the dancing team
of Fulin Female High School.

Hello.

We are the dancing team
of Fulin Female High School.

Hello.

We are the dancing team
of Fulin Female High School.

Hello.

We are the dancing team
of Fulin Female High School.

Hello.

We are...

the dancing team of Yangguang High School.

Our coach is Huang.

We are going to

do a dance routine

that we've learned from our coach Huang.

Five, six, seven, go.

One. Two. Three.

Two. Three. Four.

Go.

They're all laughing at you!

Go. Go.

We can't watch you getting bullied
and do nothing.

Let's show them what we've got.

We are

the dancing team of Yangguang High School.

You've seen that.

I've been coaching you every day.

But I actually am only an announcer.

I actually have nothing to do...
Hey, coach!

Did we just do a dance over
the wrong way?

That's right.

Did we do the third dance
move to the end backwards?

Coach! You might need to coach us

more strictly in the future.

That won't happen with me again.
That's right, coach.

We are going to
Strictly Come Dancing with you.

I'll quit on being an announcer then.

We are going to
Strictly Come Dancing together.

Strictly Come Dancing.

We still have open slots
for the school dance team.

Please join us, everyone.

Let's shine together.

Don't you have some dreams?

Light up your life.

Youngster!

Let's dance!

Welcome to join us!

Let's dance!

There isn't more people
coming to join us after all.

You don't really know young boys.

What do you mean by that?

Forget about those useless pitch lines.

I only want to emphasize one thing.

We've got a pretty girl
in the dancing team.

We've only got limited slots.

You can go signing up
under the coconut tree on the playground.

What are they doing?

It seems that they are going
to attend a dancing competition

called Strictly Come Dancing.

The king of bathhouse.

The flexible waist.

If it's not us dancing for the school,

who'll do the honor?

Bath towels go with the wind.

I am the king of cafeteria.

In order to dance,

egg dumplings, burghers

braised pork feet,

do not mean a thing to us.

Dancing is the food that we need.

For the competition this afternoon,

I have to inform you, coach.

I've sprained my ankle.

I sprained my back.

I broke my fingernails really bad.
It's not healed yet.

Goodbye, court.

Drop all of your act. Come back.

That's because of the pretty girl.

Sign up before it's too late.

Step up to dance.

Only for the things you love.

Sign up before it's too late.

My mind only goes to

peace and love.

I think the things
they love is quite lovely.

Sign up before it's too late.

Step up to dance.

Only for the things you love.

Peace and love.

I've got good news for all of you.

I'll cancel all the
extracurricular activities.

If you want to attend the competition,
your ranking must rise by 10 spots.

I don't want you to go
and just be mad as you want.

Let's catch up
on our physics lessons today.

Do you know theorem of kinetic energy?

Do you know Coulomb Law?

Do you know light refraction?

No, I don't.

You should know about rainbow after all.

That I know.

It's a lucky charm that can
get you pass all the exams, right?

That's shooting star you are talking about.

What is rainbow then?

It's the sunshine after heavy rain.

It's the trip a drop of water takes.

The angle between sunshine
and the ground equals theta.

It travels through the water curtain
to put on a romantic show.

The interface where air meets water.

Sneil's law refraction appears here.

The sine of the angle of incidence
over the sine of the angle of refraction.

The light moves forward in light-speed
after leaving the interface

and turn into the rainbow
and goes to the clouds.

Let's do the refraction of back of
the water drop part one more time.

Go through the water drop at last.

The direction it goes
slightly changes again.

The light deflected 42 degrees

and catch your eyes just like that.

So that is what it is.

Why are there seven colors in rainbows?

Sunshine has painted the world

in a warm white.

The white consists of

7 colors.

It's 7-color white.

Red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo, and purple.

It's going through the air

and enter the face of water drop.

The direction might be deflected.

You've been discussing for so long.

What is light after all?

Newton said

light is particle.

Huygens said light is wave.

Einstein said no no no.

Light is particle,

and light is wave.

Light is not particle,

not particle,

nor the wave.

Oh... I get that.

This is the wave-particle duality of light.

That's a knowledge point
for college entrance exam.

Newton said light is particle.

Huygens said light is wave.

Light brings warm and happiness.

It shines on flowers.

It shines on us.

Every straw,

straw...

Every straw.

Every corner.

Great.

We can call ourselves

"Team Straw In The Breeze",

We dance when we meet the breeze.

Don't have the time to bother.

We are just like straws in the field.

We grow up freely and wildly.

Make a pact

to be happy together

and to grow up together.

Simple and easy.

The sun is shining.

We've been silly together.

We've been lectured together.

We've run loops and been punished together.

We are a group of great fellows.

Who's the monkey king?

It's me.

Who's the little sea maid?

It's me.

Important to one another.

It's like the sun.

We make a fuss together.

Together

we are straws.

We are crying and laughing
without thinking it through.

We are all great.

We pick the stars even with muddy hands.

We are together.

Even if we fall,

we can still run forward.

We are straws.

We are happy silly people.

We are all great.

We are very small but extra strong.

We hold hands and shout out to the world.

Get ready for the breeze.

Go with it!

What if they cannot pass the exam?

That's alright.

No matter what, I will go with you.

Why should you do that?

You really do love dancing this much?

That's right.

I really do love dancing very much now.

Why's that?

Because,

I can have you by my side all the time.

You like me?

You don't like me?

Are you 18 years old and
able to talk about adult stuff?

I'm here to retake
all senior year courses.

Of course I'm 18 years old already.

Fortunately, I am 18 years old, too.

Then it should be okay for us
to talk about this.

Emm.

You didn't say this just because
you're an adult now, did you?

I said it because I meant it.

Are you silly or something?

The Ferris wheel is silly.

All it can do is stand
right there and wait.

Get my shoulder ready

and wait for the moon.

Make all her dreams come true.

The Ferris wheel is silly.

All it fears is the moon might get cold.

Turn on the warm light.

Fly with her.

No matter how thick the clouds get,

he can't get his eyes off you.

Are you going to make a wish
when it reaches the highest point?

I'll just go wherever you go.

Do you think there's a
palace on the clouds?

We can go and check
ourselves because you can fly.

We see the sky as our playground.

We don't cry when we fall.

We can run forward and laugh.

There's light ahead.

The Ferris wheel is waiting
for you at our old place.

He is my sun in the heavy rain.

She is my loud moon in my sweet dream.

Can you find the palace on the clouds?

We can keep flying from the next stop.

We see the sky as our playground.

We don't cry when we fall.

We can run forward and laugh.

There's light ahead.

The Ferris wheel is waiting
for you at your old place.

Stumble around.

Somebody is always waiting
for you at our old place.

I've passed.

Passed or not?

What? I can't hear you!

Somebody said she's Bro Hua's wife.

And she wants to buy us dinner.

I know what's going on now.

Because Bro Hua is from some rural area,

he got married when
he was really young.

Now they are buying us dinner
to announce their marriage.

Is that right?

We've been married for 5 years.

You guys got married when you were 10?

Bro Hua is 28 years old this year.

Why is he still in junior high?

He was in a special situation.

Silly.

His parents passed away when he was young.

He's the elder brother in the family.

He needed to provide
for his younger brother and sister.

So he set up a stall
to sell things when he was young.

What's the deal?

You still don't understand math?

What's going on? Hurry up.

After we got married, our family
wasn't as tight on money.

We thought he could just go to school.

Once he's not illiterate,

he won't be fooled and bullied.

I am telling you, listen
to your teacher in class.

Do you get it?

If your classmates ever bully you,

you need to tell your teacher about that.

I asked you to meet me today

because I want to talk to you.

Could you not include him

in the future dancing competition?

I'm sorry.

My wife has been working her ass off.

I can't humiliate her any more.

It's not humiliating to go
to junior high when you are 28.

And it's not humiliating

to attend the dancing competition with us.

We have a family to support.

Do you know

what it means to support a family?

I'll just tell you one thing.

That meal we had right there

cost my wife half month of her salary.

I'm sorry.

Good luck with the competition.

We need to dance well
for the preliminary competition.

Just to honor Bro Hua's efforts.

What are you doing here?
We came to see Sammi.

Why do you want to see Sammi?

Let me pass.

Sammi's there.

Huang. Hurry up, go find your mom.

Go find your mom!

Go!

I have something important
that I need to talk to you.

My dad said

you were my mom.

That's the end of me.

Be happy, boss.

I get it now. Sorry to bother you.

Did you grow up with your father
since you were little?

You must've asked your dad
where your mom was

when you were little.

Then

you happened to see my performance

on TV at that time.

Your dad said

your mom's right here

and she became a super star.

So you know everything.

Are you my mom or not.

You can just

call me as a psycho here.

I... I'm just joking.

I was joking the whole time.

I... I'm actually your fan.

I'm here to follow the superstar I love.

That's just my dad.

I am always humiliated by him.

Don't you think your dad is great?

It's pretty difficult

to lie to a person for more than a decade.

It takes a lot of effort.

Every single holiday

it's pretty hard every time.

It's pretty easy to make up
a fairy tale story.

However,

it takes a lot more than a simple lie

to guard a fairy tale story.

It takes love to do that.

That's a weird outfit.

Why are the boys dressed like this?

It's so ugly.

What the hell is that?

It's their first year, right?

That dancing is a mess.

That's just awful.

Get out of here.

The coach is disappointed in us, isn't she?

Yes, she is. She's been
so good to us

and done so much for us.

I suggest

we go and apologize to the coach.

Ol' Dog. Huang is leaving.

She says she will never dance again.

Huang.

We still have a long way to go.

We can dance again when we have chance.

I will never dance again.

I danced because I wanted
my mom to see me.

It's all pointless now.

I'm sorry.

We've been practicing together
for so long.

We can't make it to the final...

No matter what happened,
we have to keep dancing.

Because you really excel at dancing.

Hop in.

The festooned vehicle
has been following us.

This is the girl you like, right?

That's why we have to catch up with them.

We can.

That's the classic plot
in all those romantic movies.

Right? Relax. I got your back.

Sit tight.

Huang.

I have one more dance
that I would like to show you.

What are you doing?

Why did you stop?
We're out of gas.

Out of gas?

You've been driving the festooned vehicle
of Strictly Come Dancing around.

Where's the miracles
the show pitched?

We're out of gas
because we're dancing all the time.

You'll have your miracle eventually.

Where's the miracle?

The super thunderstorm suddenly has formed

and will pass Haikou recently.

We will close
all the harbors and terminals immediately.

Please take preventive measures.

Bro Dog. Bro Dog.

Keep dancing.

Don't stop.

Bro Dog, here we come. Dance!

Sorry, Coach Huang.

Goodbye, Coach Huang!

There will be a hurricane in Haikou.
The school will close for the week.

Come home with me.
Just to chill.

Uncle San. Auntie San.

Long.

I brought him here to chill.

Welcome.
Uncle San.

Hello.

Taste good!

Here comes the seafood.

Steamed crab.

We've got crabs here.

Thanks, Auntie San.

We've got one extra dish here.

Come over, hurry up!

You are still quite young.

You need to get some more.

Li, get some of this. It's your favorite.

I like this.
Long,

what's the matter?

Young man.

No matter what happened,
be happy and have some more.

Here.

Thanks, Uncle San.
You're welcome.

That's right. Get some more.

Give him some more.
This is delicious.

Here. Get some more.

Get a crab. Get some more.

What are we doing here?

Digesting.

Since when do we need to put
digesting down in our calendar?

We live here

peacefully and quietly.

We don't have much of things to do.

Certainly, we've got plenty
of time to do other stuff.

That's right.

I heard the female high school
did not make it to the finals.

It's different for you.

You can watch the final.

Isn't that right?

Why can't you be happy now?

It's not because of the final now, right?

No.

I am very happy.

It's pretty good.

What do you think Huang is doing now?

If you don't know,

how should we know?

Yeah.

You've got a point here.

Young man.

Long told me that

you just went through a breakup.

Why made such a fuss about one breakup?

When I broke up with somebody,

I got pretty sulky just like you.

I didn't get sulky.

Later there was a dancing king
coming to our farm.

He taught me how to dance.

That's how I wooed your auntie San.

That's neat.

Back then, we didn't really
have that opportunity.

We weren't allowed to do that.

We had nothing like what you have today.

You have everything now.

You can dance every day.

Why are you still sulky?

If only I could have what you have now,

I should be

the dancing king of the era.

There wouldn't be
King salted fish any more.

Really?

Why should I lie to you?

Let me tell you.

When you dad was young,

I killed at our farm with one dance.

As soon as you learn this dance,

you can totally win her back.

She always only left me her phone number

Never allows me to drive her home.

I heard that you also once
fell in love with her.

You, once the same
were not able to pull yourself out.

You said that you weren't able to
learn how to pretend to be at ease.

Yet you taught me not to
give her up too early.

You mentioned
about the past like it's a legend.

Then we laughed at each other
and thought we were silly in the same way.

We care about her so much

yet our love was totally
obliterated by her.

The more we cherish her,
the more heart broken we become.

We never will get the answer that we want.

What exactly does she think?

Should we keep guessing?

It might as well that we agree
to totally forget about it.

You said that you weren't able
to learn how to pretend to be at ease.

Yet you taught me
not to give her up too early.

You mentioned about
the past like it's a legend.

Then we laughed at each other
and thought we were silly in the same way.

So, my family
signed me up for a tutoring school.

I'm going back.

Alright.

However, it might not be possible

for us to all meet in the university.

Our grades are too bad.

We couldn't get in those universities.

Is it possible that we might not
get to see Bro Dog again?

Bro Dog.

I'll miss you.

By the way,

I didn't even like dancing before.

Me neither.

Me neither.

Me neither.

But now,

I really do want to keep dancing
with you guys.

Have you ever thought about

who's the first dancer in the world?

And why was he dancing after all?

How should I know?

Have you ever thought about

who's the first dancer in the world?

And why was he started dancing?

That's right.
What?

You knew?

The other day in my store,

the help I hired

asked me the same question.

Of course I don't know the answer.

But I could've guessed.

In ancient times,

our ancestors went back home
after a tired long day.

They lived in caves.

It was really dark.

Somebody set up a bonfire.

Everyone circled the bonfire.

Then,

it was a night like tonight.

In the night breeze,

under the shining stars,

they held hands

and started dancing.

They kept each other warm.

They feared the darkness no more.

After all...

After all,

human being is quite fragile.

Dad.

Who is my mom?

Here comes the talk again.

She is your mom.

Your mom

has been watching for all these years.

When will I get to see my real mom?

You...

really need to learn how to dance well.

As long as you can dance well,

you get to see your mom.

I just want to be like my mom.

Mom.

Strictly come dancing,

and you are the miracle.

Hello to all of you who
are watching live on Weibo

and who have come to our final
of Strictly Come Dancing.

Welcome!

Our final is going live today.

It's really special.

Because we are at

the wind turbine platform

in South China Sea.

Youngsters are breeze.

It generates power for youth.

Dance move is breeze.

It generates power for dream.

Which team will win

the championship of Strictly Come Dancing?

Dear audience,

every team that made to our final

is in position now.

Let's dance.

Miracle makers!

Dear passengers, please board
the ship with your ticket.

Dear passengers, please board
the ship with your ticket.

Young girl.

Young girl! Young girl1
Hello, young girl.

Will you be watching our final today?

Do you think they've put on a good show?
Yes.

Have you thought about dancing yourself?
Coach!

I knew how to dance at the first place.

How about this? If there's an
opportunity for you

to join our champion dancing team,
would you take it?

I've got my own dancing team.

Then why didn't you come to our final?

We lost in the preliminary competition.
We were out.

You still have some regrets

from the bottom of your heart, right?

Of course there are regrets.

We practiced together for so long.

Who doesn't want to win the game?

Of course. Every person tries their best

is looking for a positive outcome.

Isn't there more to life than winning?

Like what?

Like losing in a happier way.

Thanks!

Look at Huang!

I really do have regrets.

We are going to graduate soon,

and going parted ways.

One of my regrets is
that nobody will ever say

"we'll do something big together"
blatantly.

One of my friends once said

there are more important things
in life than just winning.

We can lose in a happier way.

Nothing is more important than

dancing together.

Those underdogs,

those students with poor grades,

those ineloquent people.

Don't they deserve to shine?

What if there's nobody
clapping hands for you?

What if other people laugh at you?

We can just be happy salted fish.

It's pretty hot outside.

It's really bright.

We can be bright and hot together.

After this dance,

we are going to graduate from the school.

I'll be here waiting for you.

Mom. I've got to go.

Go.
Let's go.

Let's help her.

Hurry!

Here we go!

Hurry!

Wait for me.

I've seen

the live show.

What are you waiting for now?

Go!

Go!

This is what it means to be young.

Come on. A winner never needs to
make a long speech.

She's not talking to you.

She's talking to you then?

That's right.

I'm her first love.

That's quite straight forward.

Where's my auntie?

Auntie!

Hey girl. The competition is over.

What are you doing here?
Hurry up.

Get out of here.

Come and get your costume!

Go!

Straw In The Breeze,

we are never defeated!

Straw In The Breeze,

we are never defeated!

Straw In The Breeze,

we are never defeated!

It turns out

there really is seven-colored cloud here.

Run through the summer

We are invincible, right?

What is rainbow?

The light traveling to you

Will all our silliness and dream come true?

Shall we go and save the world?

The words we shout out in the rain

The people we have crush on

Where are they going to be taken to?

Are you afraid of growing up?

We are straws

We come from dirt

Let's go

Silly kids

We need to light up our life

With our ambition for the lifetime

Sky

And sea

The summer of 18 years old

Will it disappear?

Do you like yourself

After becoming an adult?

Set up a bonfire in the crowd

We sing loudly

No matter how far away
we are from each other

We can always shout out to one another

No matter where you are

Are you going to remember
the sky of shining youngsters?

We are straws

We come from dirt

Let's go

Wild kids

Run away

Open your arms

Go against the breeze

Let's fly

Time to say goodbye to the summer

Will you miss me?

Time to say goodbye to the summer

I'll miss you!
