My name is Zhang Sheng Mei,
I'm from Hualien, I'm a Pisces,

and my dream is
to become a model.

Are you all grown up?

Big enough, 36D

Hi, my name is Zhuang Meng Meng.

My talent is that...

I can swallow my fist.

So what is your talent

I will be performing
how dinosaurs exercise.

First of all, baseball



basketball

billiards

rope skipping

My name is Zhuang Shu Hao

My mom's really good at cooking.

That's your mother's talent,
not yours.

I... I'm in charge of

killing the chicken.

So, other than soccer,
what else can you guys do?

Sir, we also play baseball.

Anything else? Other than sports?

We know how to hunt.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning, Principal.



"10 days ago.
October, 2007. 4 people."

I would like to introduce you
to our new head of activities.

I would like to introduce you
to our new head of activities.

This teacher is amazing.

He is very talented.

He came from Taipei.

Please help me welcome Mr. Xing.

Please help me welcome Mr. Xing.

Hello everyone,
My name is Xing Zhi Yuan.

I'm very happy to be here
at Zheng Yang High School.

The fresh air here
in HuaLien is really nice.

The weather is lovely,
and the environment is great...

When I received the
offer letter...

There was this joke.

One day, the teacher asked the
students in his class,

what do you like about me?

All the students answered
at the same time,

we like you most
when you are far away from us.

Funny?

Well, that joke is my life.

I am far far away
from the education system.

This is my sixth year as a
temporary teacher,

and my theme this year is...

Wandering to HuaLien.

It was not a bold act,

it's merely because

all the teaching positions
were filled in Taipei.

They don't want me there.

Dear students,

I just want to know

whether your opportunity

can become my opportunity.

"Your Love Song"

There was this joke,

There was once a couple
on a train.

There was once a couple
on a train.

The train passed
through a long tunnel.

And the boy blushed
while he said:

If I knew that the tunnel would
be so long beforehand,

I would have kissed you.

The girl gasped and said:

what,

the one who gave me a kiss
just now wasn't you?

Well, that joke

is my life.

I'm stuck in this dark tunnel,

not knowing who kissed who.

Yu Jing, Yu Jing...

Don't come any closer!

Stop right there!

"Hualien Zheng Yang High School"

Due to the continuous decline
of the birth rate in Taiwan,

temporary teachers face
another hardship.

The education professors at the
National Normal University advise

temporary teachers to set a 5-7
years stop loss point

before considering a switch
in profession.

Hey, what did you think
of the new teacher?

Hey, what did you think
of the new teacher?

A moron,

full of crap.

Only people
from Taipei talk like that.

Hi teacher,

my talent is my perfect body,

you wanna check it out?

You wanna check it out?

You wanna check it out?

Man, you're on fire today.

Awesome

Yo, where're you going?

What is wrong, man?
I ain't got one hit today.

Maybe next time,

I'm going home for dinner.

- Bye
- Bye

Who are you looking for?

Hi!
I saw an Internet ad that says

this place is for rent?

Yes. Feel free to walk around.

My cousin's child gave
up on the piano

and they were
about to throw it away.

I picked it up and put it here.

You don't mind right?

It's okay,

just leave it here.

Love is endurance and kindness.

Love is not jealousy.

By the looks of your outfit,

you're from Taipei aren't you?

How much would you charge
for rent?

How about eight thousand a month?

Eight thousand!

That cheap?

Expensive?
How about six thousand then?

It's okay, you're safe here...

you're safe here...

The floor must be mopped,
clothes must be clean,

even the cleaning supplies need
to be clean.

That's who I am.

This is pre-marriage therapy,

so I advise you two
to open your hearts

and speak
what you think about each other.

That's why I want
to know all the details,

all those dirty details.

I said

I'm sorry,

what more do you want?

How did you get to know
that girl?

When did you guys sleep together?

Start from the very beginning...

Come on, that's in the past now,

stop making such a big fuss
about it.

No! It's not in the past yet!

I won't go without you
telling me everything.

She's a client from work,

we only met each other a
few weeks ago.

Was she the one
who took the first step?

Not exactly...

that time...

we took a liking to each other...

when we met for the first time.

How many times?

- What?
- You know what I am asking.

How many times did you two
sleep together?

Is this important?

It's important to me.
Please tell me the truth.

Maybe...

around twenty times?

What's the problem with you?

Well what number would you
like to hear then?

The two of them only met a
few weeks ago,

but yet this number seems
extremely high.

What do you think, Mrs.
Consultant?

I was lonely.

Is it my fault?
Is it my fault you felt lonely?

Can you not be so dirty?
You're just like a dog!

It's this attitude...

I'm trying to forgive you;

we are trying
to find a way to forgive you.

Perhaps we should put our focus

back onto
the basis of a marriage.

The basis

of a marriage is mutual trust...

You don't have to forgive me.

I don't need your forgiveness.

I don't want to spend the rest of
my life with someone like you.

What the,
electricity outage again?

Who is it?

The neighbour, from next door.

Ummm... Do... do you...

do you want a candle?

Did you just move in here?

Thank you, good night.

What do you want now?

Hello...

"Private piano lesson"

Am omelette please.

Okay.

Thanks

Welcome to the first season
of One Million Star...

Welcome to the first season
of One Million Star...

As usual,

here is the good news.

We are at the countryside,

and there aren't a lot
of students here.

We lack the resources as well.

It really puts all the teachers
in a tough spot.

You're being too kind.

Mr.Xing is young
and very potential.

Thank you.

What year did you graduate from
the normal training college,

are you by chance the
principal's junior?

I graduated from the National
Taiwan Normal University,

and then I got my teacher
certification...

in Taipei,

and I taught
at various locations.

To be honest,

I studied education
about forty years ago.

I studied education
about forty years ago.

Times are different now.

If you have any new ideas,

feel free to mention them.

Our school will
definitely cooperate.

Sure.

Principle,

I have a wild idea that

I would like to ask
for your opinions about it.

Over the past few years,
the internet has grown

to become
one of the greatest tools.

I propose
that we showcase talented people

It may very well be a great
chance for small town schools

like us to get attention.

Romeo, O, Romeo,

wherefore art thou Romeo?

Dear Julia.

What's in a name?

That which we call a rose.

By any other name would
smell as sweet.

Stop, can we stop, please?

Thank you for your performance...

it was very... special.

If I was to ask you

who is the most popular person
in school.

Who would you say?

You want to ask about Dong?

Speaking of Li Dong-Shuo,

I think he is more
of a lonely prince type.

And me? I am more of

a wild and unruly kind,

always giving others the
feeling of...

Mr. Xing,

Dong is a third-year student
in class one.

His solo
during his freshman year,

wow...

Hi

It's you again!

This bracelet...

is my grandma's,

I'm going
to get it back one day...

I'm just... having you keep it
for a while.

If you still want it then don't
take it to a pawnshop.

This place is not a
locker you know.

Grandma, it's time to eat!

I heard you're really good
at singing.

Do you like it?

- I don't want to be famous...
- What do you want then?

Do you know Jolin Tsai?

She entered the singing
competition hosted by MTV,

She entered the singing
competition hosted by MTV,

and she took the champion.

It's no doubt she had the talent
and she worked hard for it,

but what makes her special?

She sees a chance
to get on the stage

and she grabs it.

Fine, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

What difference would it make?

If I tell your Grandma that you
stole something from her,

you might change your mind,
right?

It's hard to succeed
in a small town like this.

If you don't want
to do it right now,

by the time you want to do it,

you may not get the chance
to do so.

Deal...

Come
to the faculty room tomorrow.

Let's see what kind
of training is right for you.

Bye bye.

Ah?

Did you make up your mind?

Yeah.

But...

I will accept
under one condition.

- One condition?
- Yeah.

A band... I feel
like a band would be better.

These guys?

Yup, these guys are my friends,

and they have guts.

They know
how to play musical instruments.

I... I know how to play Cello.

I met you before.

You were the one
who can kill chicken.

I know how to dance.

Moving
around doesn't count as dancing.

I know how to hit.

You know how to hit a baseball.

Mr. Xing,

I know how to play piano.

Sir, they are the best
performers in our school.

Without them,

I don't think I can
perform well...

Dear,

we are "the only choice" for you!

Three. Two. One.

Hello everyone!
We are the Mayday from Hua Lian.

We are the Mayday from Hua Lian.

Are you sure you want
to copy the name of a band

that already debuted?

What should we call
ourselves then?

You guys...

You guys are more like a bunch
of ghosts in the ghost month.

Just to make it clear with you,
I don't want classical music.

I want the modern kind.

The kind of music
that will go viral.

Are you sure I can take these
lessons for free?

My Grandma told me that everyone
from Taipei are liars.

Man, you live in such a big
apartment all by yourself?

Do we practice here from now on?

You cooked noodles?

Why don't we eat a little
before we start our lesson.

Stop!

You have one minute to explain
what you guys are doing here

before I call the police.

I thought you talked to her
about it?

I thought you said you were
gonna call her?

You live right next to her!
Can you show some initiative?

I'm busy okay,
unlike a certain someone.

It's been one minute already.

And put down my noodles.

You have to trust
that we are good people.

We're here
because we saw your poster,

and we want to learn music.

I'm the activities coordinator
at Zheng Yang high school

and he is my student.

Hey you, sing something
to show us your vocal talents.

Wash the dishes after dining.

Do you accept groups of students?

"In my heart I feel how much
seriousness there is in life,"

"I don't dare touch it."

"I'm not a good person,
but I'm also not a bad person,"

"I'm just someone
who loves to dream."

"I'm not willing to float
with the tide,"

"like a drifting boat
that cannot find a harbour."

"I don't want
to be a devious opportunist,"

"I'd rather be a fool."

One for each.

"It's not that my head is empty,"

"it's not that I'm useless,"

"People, oh!
A lifetime is so long,"

"how can we happily pass
the years."

"I have my road,"

"I have my dreams."

"Is it possible the world of my"

"dreams is just an illusion?"

"On the road that I've travelled,
I only have hope."

"Hope that all we've talked
about is in our hearts,"

"believing one day it will
all come true."

"It's not that my head is empty,"

"it's not that I'm useless,"

"People, oh!
A lifetime is so long,"

"how can we happily pass
the years."

"On the road that I've travelled,
I only have hope."

"Is it possible the world of my"

"dreams is just an illusion?"

"On the road that I've travelled,
I only have hope."

"Hope that all we've talked
about is in our hearts,"

"Hope that all we've talked
about is in our hearts,"

"believing one day it will
all come true."

It had been just two months,

the weather was still warm
in autumn.

Due to the intensive training,

those kids
who were not highly regarded

started to change...

So did I.

Who would have thought of this?

The Elimination in Taipei,

became a resurrection in Hualien.

Became a resurrection in Hualien.

Became a resurrection in Hualien.

Where are you headed?

I just wanted
to go on a walk outside.

You know, it may be safe here.

But it's dangerous for you
since you're from Taipei.

But...

am I a bit heavy?

It's okay.
My grandma's heavier than I am,

yet I'm still able to carry her
on my bike.

Just think
of it as your lucky day,

let me take you somewhere.

Let's go!

Ms.Yu,

why did you come to Hua Lien?

I don't know.

Why don't you have a boyfriend?

Then why don't you have
a girlfriend?

I'll have one eventually.

There is this girl that I like,

and I just need to find time to
tell her about it.

Congratulations.

How about you?

Do you have someone you like?

Do you plan on telling him?

I don't know.

Maybe you like

a certain teacher
with big dreams?

Like who?

You know who I am talking about.

I don't know.

How can you teach others if you
say you don't know to anything?

I don't know.

Ms. Yu,

You tell me your secrets,

and I'll tell you mine.

To be honest,

it's no surprise he left me.

Who?

My boyfriend,

you wanted to know
about my boyfriend, right?

Why?

Maybe...

it's because she's much
prettier than I am.

Her personality must be
better too.

On top of that, dating me

is like the mandatory
education you have to take

Boring.

What's so funny?

No...

it's just that I can't imagine

a girl prettier than you.

Hey,

maybe it's
because you're too young,

and you haven't seen
that many pretty girls.

Listen to this.

Hey! It's me.

Come back to Taipei.

Your mom told me
to talk to you...

How long do you plan on hiding
away at the country side.

Can we talk?

Even though we can't be
lovers anymore,

we can still be friends...

You tell this guy,

you got new friends now.
You don't need any new "friends".

The rain stopped...

Take a look at this.

Happened to come
across them behind the school.

They were hurt then.
I took care of them for a while,

but let's see
if we can make them fly today.

Hey, thanks
for being for my new friend.

We Hualien people are
really friendly,

please do promote this
when you are back to Taipei.

The most important battle
will start now.

Everyone,

the Black Spider team will
have their leader

King of black spider,

Jam Haiso, for this run.

Who do you want
to challenge today?

Hi, Miss Yu.

Hi.

Hi.

How come I haven't seen you
in a while?

By the way,

the Chopin CD that you asked for,

that one with the little dog...

Chopin's Waltz series.

Yes.
I managed to get one for you.

Give me a second,
let me find it...

Thank you.

It's weird,

please give me a second,
I definitely have it with me.

Um...

Even though I can't find the CD,

but I have two tickets
to the Ocean Park.

Will you be willing to go
with me?

Ever since you moved here,

I can't take my eyes off you.

I...

What a coincidence,
you have tickets to Ocean Park?

I want to go,

I'll buy it from you.

Thanks!

Let's go.

Thank you.

What
if we get caught staying here?

What
if we get caught staying here?

This is how you're supposed to
make the most of the Ocean Park.

This is the first time

I've done
something bad like this.

This is the first time I've had
a girl tell me that

I'm already doing something bad,

even though I haven't done
anything bad yet.

Hey...
why did you become a teacher?

They asked me the same thing

during the interview.

Did you answer it well?

I memorized the textbook answers,

like I want to develop the
most talented student,

want to learn and grow
with them... blah blah blah.

And that got me here,

lying with the fishes.

I want to be a teacher

to make the kids
in the world to grow up freely.

Unlike me,

growing up
under people's expectation,

afraid to ask questions
that I didn't know,

and afraid to imagine things
without confirmation.

One day,

I will be seen not
just by these fishes.

I will leave

because I know this is
not the end.

You seem to always know
what you want to do.

You have a dream,
and have a direction.

I want to be you...

You can't be me.

Why?

No particular reason.

We're happy here.

Let's not think
about the things in the past.

"I can't tell why I become
very proactive"

"If you love someone everything"

"becomes worthwhile doing"

"I want to announce I can't leave
without you"

"Even my neighbours can guess
what I am thinking now"

Hey! Wait...

Dong sings faster and faster,

and the drums get slower
and slower.

That's not okay! One more time.

Ugh, my hands are so tired.

We practice it again and again,
I am dying.

Let me show you
how dying feels like...

Sir, stop...

She said no!

Hurry it up!
Lets run this once more.

You have to have sportsmanship
for everything you do.

Why would you need sportsmanship
to be a musician?

In
What universe are you musician?

Go on!

Hello,
everyone, we are N-O-O-V-Y,

Noovy

The competition is
reaching its climax.

Have you voted your
favourite team yet?

Yes, I want to know how
participate in the competition.

Ok, wait a moment.

Ok, please,

ok,

I see Thank you, bye.

Yes!

They said that we should upload a
video introducing ourselves,

and we have a month to prepare.

Are we too rushing into this... Do
we have enough time to prepare?

Let's start practicing!

Why is there one missing?

No idea...

Late again...

Hurry it up prince charming

How many times do you plan
on being late?

Can you be quiet down?

My grandma is sleeping!

Stop sleeping grandma!

Your grandson's
about to be famous!

Wait,

where's your guitar?

Umm... I forgot.

You know what,

you can skip practice today,

go back to sleep
with your grandma.

Who's that?

Our new vocalist,

and you are?

Hi,

my name is Wang Shi-zhe, I am the
vocalist from the live band of

Xiu-feng High School.

I asked the program producers
on the phone yesterday.

Turns out, you don't all need
to be from the same school

to enter the competition
as a group.

Everyone,

what do you think this means?

A better choice means a better
chance at succeeding.

We don't have to ask too much
from each other right now.

Why don't we have both
of them try,

and then we decide.

What do we need to decide?

Some decide
to be the audience forever,

someone like him will never be
able to go on stage.

Sir,
I can take the challenge anytime.

Great!

I'll do my best.

At least give him a chance.

If it's not for Ms. Yu,

I wouldn't give you a
second chance.

If you can get the
biggest applause

on the stage
of the Christmas Festival,

I'll think about putting you
back on the team.

But if it doesn't go as planned,

then that will be the last
stage you perform on!

Now you don't owe me anything,
and I owe you nothing.

Ms. Yu,

do you think...

I can succeed?

What do you mean
when you say succeed?

Mr. Xing told me that

if I perform well,

than he'll give me a
second chance.

If I manage to grasp this chance,

I guess that means I succeed.

As what Mr. Xing said:

we have to participate
in the competition,

and we have to win.

We have to grab the attention
of the audience on the internet.

And you call this "succeed"?

I don't want you to work hard
for a goal

that someone else set for you.

You're great at singing,

but you also can say no to it.

I don't want you to pay too much

of a price to understand
this idea.

People should reserve some time

for themselves in their life.

Hey,

didn't we promise each other
last time that

you'll tell me your secret,

and I'll tell you mine?

You have a secret you can't tell?

Hey,

are... you...

are you seeing someone?

Are you seeing someone then?

I'm not.

I'm not seeing anyone right now.

Then neither am I.

"I can't tell why I become
very proactive."

"If you love someone, everything"

"becomes worthwhile doing."

Here, take this.

You could be a good actor.

Sir, if you need me to work
with you again,

I'm happy to oblige.

"I want to take you
to my grandma's house."

"Look at the sunset together

until we fall asleep."

"I want to be like this,"

"holding your hand
and never letting you go."

"Could love be forever innocent
and without grief?"

"You resting on my shoulder,"

"and you falling asleep
on my chest."

"Just living like this
with I loving you loving me."

"Just living like this
with I loving you loving me."

"Just want to love easily..."

"Just want to love easily..."

Just want to love easily!

When did they practice this song?

"Mist is coming through the sky."

"The river is as quiet as
an oil painting."

"Doves of peace strolling
around lazily."

"My heart secretly lights up."

"Praying you are
like a brave warrior,"

"watching
and protecting our love."

"The footprints you leave
in my memory"

"is the scenery I love the most."

"I want to think about you day
and night."

"Send you a letter
representing my love."

"I want to think about you day
and night."

"Heart to heart,
we will travel the whole world."

"You are my festival,
your are my sunny day,"

"my love will never sleep."

"My thoughts will continue to fly
around you,"

"and my love will my never set."

I borrowed it from someone.

Where's Mr. Xing?

He said he's going back home to

upload the video
of your performance.

He walked away
with the camera in a hurry.

Well... to express my gratitude,

why don't we take a spin
with my car?

Where did you get a car?

I borrowed it from someone too.

Ms. Yu,

thank you.

For what?

Thank you for being
so nice to me,

not a lot,

not a lot of people are nice
to me.

The first time I saw you,

standing at the door,

I knew you were...

very special.

Hi, what would you like to order?

Ummm... I would
like a chicken burger,

4 pieces of Chicken Nuggets, a
custard tart, and a French fries.

Since way back then,

I think...

I think I have a crush on you.

Would you like any drinks?

What do you want to drink?

I just wanted to say,

we should find a time
and talk about this.

Sorry. Would you like any drinks?

What?

Oh, coke. Thanks.

Umm, half ice please.

You don't have
to give me the answer.

But I want you to know...

Would you
like to upgrade your fries?

I want you to know that
all those love songs that I sing.

I only want to sing them to you.

Sorry, would you
like to upgrade your fries?

No thank you.

You know,
confessing your feelings

seemed easy
on the television shows.

But...

But I don't want to get rejected.

Sorry, can I get a cream
corn soup as well?

Let me repeat the order:

a French fries, a Chicken burger,
a Coke with less ice,

4 piece of Chicken Nuggets,
a corn soup, a custard tart.

Is there anything else?

We're not right
for each other...

You know...

you're too young...

I can't...

I can't...

Would you like an extra custard
tart with special price?

That's OK,

the custard tart is too sweet
for me.

Is there anything else I
can get you?

That's it, thank you.

That's it,

thank you.

"Wedding Invitations,
Johnny and Annie, Jan 3, 2008"

Hey you, you moron,

where have you been all
these years?

Yeah...

You were gone to the countryside,

and no one knows
what you are up to.

Nothing at all.

Do you have a girlfriend now?

No, I am too busy for that.

Come on! You are a teacher
that is a babe-magnet!

It's true, I'm too busy...

Please help me welcome our
Best-man and the maid of honour.

Our Best-man is the groom,
Zhang Feng Qun's younger brother,

and the maid of honour
is Yu Jing,

the bride's best friend
back in school.

She purposefully came back here
from Hua Lian

to attend this wedding
ceremony...

Now, ladies and gentleman,

please help me welcome the groom
and the bride!

Everyone, let me introduce you
to my best friend.

He is a teacher.
He's also a golden bachelor.

Everyone looked
up to him back then.

There were about fifty
thousand high school girls

whose birthday wish was
to marry this guy.

So handsome...

- Marry me...
- Let's count,

One, Two, Three...

Congratulations.

Together!

There are two medical doctors

and four engineers at our table.

I think our classmates are
living the life.

Honestly,

I feel a little sorry
for Xing Zhi Yuan.

Who would've thought
that he would end up like this

just
because he followed his dreams.

So I heard that it is
in the countryside of Hualien.

Last time, I got a bank investor.

Really?

I want to exchange mine
with yours.

Didn't you said you only
want handsome guy?

No way,
what good can "handsome" do?

I want to exchange mine
with yours!

- Hi.
- Let's go.

Dreams are just dreams,
when it comes to reality...

Xing Zhi Yuan's journey has been
more than 10 years already...

At a certain point and time,

even the most idealistic
ones tend to give up

because they lack the money...

Be careful.

Take a break,

phew,

You,

have him lie here for a while
I'll go hail a taxi.

Dude, you're super drunk.

- You sure you can stop a taxi?
- Sure.

Is... he okay?

He's a stubborn man...

I've known him for twenty years,

and he's always been like this...

Hey...

Be careful!

Do you know that
in the university entrance exam,

he got the highest score in
Taipei Top Senior High School?

And then,

this guy said he wanted
to be a teacher,

so the school
immediately dropped 1 student

entering
National Taiwan University.

After he graduated,

he wasn't settled
to be just a substitute teacher,

so he worked on part-time job
during weekend as well,

and dreaming
on having his own business

about "Kid's potential
development".

Is that why he moved to Hua Lian?

Do you think he has other choice?

Xing, taxi is coming, let's go.

- Be careful.
- Hey, the taxi driver told me

that his house is
in the opposite direction.

I'll get him back home.

You guys can give me the address.

Ok...

Are you parents at home?

Our little Zhi Yuan is
very smart.

He is destined for greatness.

I must ask all of you
to stop playing with him,

you're just wasting his time...

What?

- Hi, Mister.
- Hi,

come on in.

Be careful.

You don't have to feel sorry
for him.

This is not the first time
he felt defeat,

he was defeated ten years ago.

He talks
about his dreams all day.

That kind of garbage is worthless

and foul.

The bank calls me...

about his debt everyday...

A brand new special class
to discover your talents.

Think about it,

please think about it!

Thank you.

"When he went blundering
back to God"

"His songs half written,
his work half done,"

"Who knows what paths
his bruised feet trod,"

"What hills of peace or pain
he won?"

Sorry.

I didn't even study at
that cram school...

Back then...

Everyone wanted to know me...

They all wanted to say that

they were
in my circle of friends.

"Congratulations
to 1982 graduates"

That day when my mom passed away,

the teacher came to my house.

She came to me

and...

said,

Zhi Yuan, you have to study hard,

and become a successful person.

Don't let your mother down.

I thought to myself,

not even the death
of my mother can stop them

from pestering me to study hard.

That... That's why

I decided I wanted
to become a teacher.

My dream is to have all kinds
of different kids know that

there is more than one
definition of success.

There is more than one
definition of success.

And now...

today...

tonight...

all, all those people!

They think I'm nothing...

but at least,

at least I know how to do this...

Hey,

are you ok?

Be careful...

you are bleeding...

Hey,

you want to check it out, right?

At least... I'm good
at doing wedding dances...

I don't need your help!

Please don't help me...

Please,

don't sympathize with me,

don't look down on me.

Please...

Please help me welcome,

The main characters of tonight,
the groom and the bride!

They will perform
for us a short dance.

His song half written,

His work half done.

Who knows
what path his bruised feet trod,

What hills of peace
or pain he won?

So how have you been?

Are you seeing anyone new?

There are...

too many people...

I guess my luck's getting better.

But they may not be the
right one.

Go on.

I think, that going right
into a relationship

is not the most rational
decision for me.

After all that,

I try to force myself
to make a decision,

but then...

I feel uneasy
about my decision again.

Post-traumatic syndrome,

it makes you want to forget,

but then you always sink back
into your memories.

They want to take back
what they lost...

You have to keep in mind,

you would be stuck

if you have a leg on the brake
and the other on the pedal.

When being in a dilemma,

people tend to be hesitant about

whether they want to stay
or leave

and forget the cost
of not making decisions.

You know why prince charming
and snow white

lived happily ever after?

Because neither of them...

thought too much.

Hi! This is Network Idol Show,

our faculty has received
the formal application

for Zheng Yang high school.

There is a great chance
that you might be able

to get into the top ten.

Now we would like to invite the
family members from each team

to video a short clip of them

cheering the teams on...

Open the door, Dong.

Good news!

I just a received a call
from the show that

we have a chance of getting
into the top ten.

We can go on TV!

What do you want?

To say hi to your Grandma.

I promised the show I would get
a short clip of...

She needs some rest.

Now's not a good time?

She's not feeling well.

She went to the doctors today.

Dong, open the door.

Hey,
what do you think you're doing?

Dong!

- What are you doing?
- Dong!

Don't sleep now.

How dare you call
yourself a teacher

when you bust into
someone's house like that...

What are you guys doing here?

She's your grandma,

right?

Why did you lie to us?

I didn't lie to you guys...

Your grandma passed away
didn't she?

You told us that she was still
alive. Is that not a lie?

She's my grandma...

If I tell you guys she's still
alive, then she is alive...

Anyway,
it's none of your business.

At this rate,

I would've been much faster if I
just got a fake grandma to film.

- Eh
- What are you doing?

Dong

- All you want to do is use me...
- Stop it!

- Enough!
- What are you two doing? Stop!

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

You have no right over me!

Enough...

Dong!

Seriously? Are you saying he was
attacked by the thief?

At a countryside like this,

we rarely have this kind of case.

If you notice anyone suspicious,

or if you remember anything,

please give us a call.

What should I do from now on?

What should I do?

Dong,

wash your hands now,
let's go eat...

let's go eat now...

Grandma, let's eat.

The dishes are getting cold.

Did you do good?

I was the second place
in the whole class.

Really?

Then let me go ask

when the first place is going
to transfer...

Good Job.

I'll sign here,

don't forget to hand this back
to the teacher tomorrow.

Hey Grandma,

do you think it hurt

when my parents were in
that car accident?

Stop thinking so much,

close your eyes...

If you imagine
that they're still here,

then they will always be...

There are a lot of tear wounds,

you have to be careful so
that it doesn't get inflamed.

What's more concerning however,

is the slight concussion
he received...

"Good health, get well soon"

Hi,

did doctor say anything
about his condition today?

Not wake up yet?

Ouch!

Sorry...

The Central Weather Bureau
has reported that

there will be
a massive rainstorm tonight.

Yi Ian, Hua Lian, and Tai Tung

will have a torrential rain
coming their way.

Experts advise citizens
to not leave the house...

Hey!

Hey!

I was about to buy some instant
ramen and some snacks,

but then I found out I didn't
have any money on me.

Great! Now I get to find out

how much money you have
in your account.

Come on...

A Power outage?

It cannot be opened.

What should we do?
Will we be trapped here forever?

At least it's pretty safe here.

Banks protect their money
with heavy security,

so they may send people
here right away.

That day...

it was raining just like this.

He put a ring on my finger,

and then

we took a trip around Taiwan.

We got so tanned,

and my finger got a mark
remained after that trip.

Hey,

why don't you talk a little bit
about yourself.

I don't have anything to say...

Everyone has something they
can talk about,

you just don't want
to tell me that's all.

That day...

I was in the hospital...

it's dark just like this.
Big rain.

A girl

sat by my bed

and she trimmed my nails for me.

See,
like this, pretty... isn't it?

I...
The main characters in movies

are always unconscious for years.

That's why I trimmed your nails.

Who knew you would wake
up in a few days.

I wasn't fully unconscious
those few days...

What do you mean?

I was there every day.

You weren't awake then.

Wow, you are a terrible person...

Miss Yu,

My head still hurts...

You know,

if you endure it
for a little longer,

everything will be over.

I don't have many strong points,

and endurance is
about the only one I have...

You know what...

when I was unconscious,

I dreamt a lot about you...

Thank you,

you're a great person.

Hi Mr. Xing!
Congratulations to the July Boys

for getting into the top ten.

We would like to invite you
and your band to come up North

and join the competition

for the top five!

Hey, open the door.

Right now?

Or what,
have me wait until you're twenty

and you become a
rightful citizen?

Hurry up!

Do you remember what happened
when your Grandma got sick?

What happened after that?

She...

She got sick last year
for a while.

It was pretty serious.

But her condition got better.

Everyone says
that she's all good now,

it doesn't hurt anymore.

You know what?

Sometimes the seeds grow,

and you start to anticipate.

But...

sometimes the leaves keep
on falling.

What you have to do then

is to check the soil

and figure out
what the problem is.

Then you add the fertilizers.

As long as the roots don't rot,

there will always be
another chance.

I don't know what else to do.

When the person you're talking to

is not listening
to your explanation,

the best option is not
to explain at all.

Dong,

you might not understand
what I'm saying right now.

However,

I am a very forgiving person.

Tomorrow morning,

we start practices
at eight o'clock.

Same place, we'll wait for you.

I don't think I should
continue...

Who in this world

doesn't have a
past they're ashamed of?

What did they do?

Pretend nothing ever happened?

A eighteen-year-old boy

may have no care about success,

but at least he has care
for love, right?

Eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

Miss Yu will be there as well.

"We should learn from infants,"

"to be more forgiving."

"Forget everything
after you cry."

"Stop dwelling
on yesterday's pain,"

"Stop dwelling
on yesterday's pain,"

"baby don't cry"

"Happiness is an ocean
and I am the wings of flight."

"Happiness is an ocean
and I am the wings of flight."

"I want to find freedom!"

"A group of shiny islands line
up to make a smile."

"They're called the
happiness islands."

"They're called the
happiness islands."

Well, what are you waiting for?

Mr. Xing, what are you doing?

Practicing courage.

Hi everyone!
We are the July Boys!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

"Love exists,
in this new genesis."

"I enjoy the feeling
of confidence."

"I can see,
that you smile like an angel."

How dare you...

"I am willing,
to stay by your side"

"and grant all your wishes"

Don't watch them.

Don't worry
about the other contestants...

We came prepared.
Fully prepared...

Where are my drumsticks?

Did you guys see it?

I remember I brought it.

Thank you very much!

Now the next is The July Boys
from Hua Lian!

Please start now.

"The clear river"

"flows quietly in your eyes."

"Your smile causes it to ripple"

"on the calm lake."

"The Green mountains"

"rise between your eyes."

"You silence
brings the night wind"

"as it blows past my ears."

"You're a lily in the mountains"

"blooming silently."

"The swaying mountain wind
softly caresses"

"as the stars fill the sky."

When I was a temporary teacher,

I would often see the same kind

of people
in the education circle.

Standing on the podium,

talking nonstop.

All I want to do is to help kids.

To help them become
who they want to be.

"The title contenders,
The July Boys"

I am grateful for two things,

one was leaving Taipei,

and the other is coming
back here again.

Mr. Xing,

This is a draft
of your appointment letter.

Inside it you will find a draft
of your pay,

and teaching propositions.

Please do consider.

I think you understand,
for someone like you,

Li Dong Shuo is just a beginning.

We have the resources here,

and we can do much more together.

Thank you. Sorry, but,

when's the latest I can give
you an answer?

Are... you not happy
with the salary?

Money is not my prime objective.

Mr. Xing,

what we can offer here at this
school is to provide you

with a stable environment

to teach the brightest kids
of the next generation.

Is that not
what you always wanted?

Mr. Xing,

I thought you were the type
of person

who would do anything
for your ambitions.

The so-called ideals,

people think
that they are all gains,

but they are sacrifices.

The one who understands these,

can go further.

Yes,

I'm that kind of person.

It's cool to take a official
leave to join a show in Taipei.

Look, It's Miss Yu!

Where is she going?

Maybe a DATE?

Hey, I'm going out for a bit.

Please follow that taxi.

Your total is a hundred
and seventy.

"Obstetrics
and Gynaecology Clinic"

Could you confirm it
and sign here,

and here?

After the artificial
abortion procedure,

please stay here in the clinic
for about an hour.

Did your family members come
with you today?

My...

My...

my house is just next door.

"We are experts
on painless abortion"

Miss Yu!

What are you doing here?

I don't get
to come to Taipei a lot,

so I decided to take a tour.

Are you here to sightsee as well?

I...

I came...

to get a new pair of glasses.

"Obstetrics
and Gynaecology Clinic"

Can you please...

please not ask me
what happened.

No.36, Hot Ginger Tea?

Let me get it for you.

Thanks.

Your eyes are really beautiful.

So,

it doesn't matter,

if, you wear glasses or not...

Hey,

we finally get in
to the final run of the contest.

Have you ever thought

what you want to do
after all of this is over?

You? You have a plan in mind?

Back then,

none of the schools wanted
to hire me,

and now,
all of them are offering me jobs.

Asking me to think...

You had plans to
leave here early on?

So Soon?

If you were me,

you would need to think
everything through every day.

Did you ever think
about the people close to you

when you made those decisions?

I focus forward,

and I don't think about others.

That's is
how I got my achievements today.

Because that is who I am.

We are different...

You're right,

I can't be you.

Do you watch basketball?

You see that guy,

he didn't make a move
at the right moment,

and he decided to pass the ball.

Then he ran out of time,

and the match ends badly.

I'm not to trying go against you,

but I made my decision
to leave this place.

But it doesn't mean I haven't
considered staying here.

I hope you can understand
my decisions.

If you want,

I can help you
contact that school.

Why the heck aren't you in bed?
We have the finals tomorrow.

Do you want
to go to the hot spring?

What?

Mr. Xing

you're...

a good person.

You can't tell me this
without getting naked?

Miss Yu,

she's also a good person.

She,

she probably a hundred times
better than I will ever be.

I always thought that people
who came from Taipei

were mean and terrible people.

There are all kinds of people
in Taipei.

You can't really tell who's good
and who's bad.

Take Miss Yu for example,

she's the kind of person

who would wait
for the light to get green

before crossing the street.

Me,

I'm the type of person
who rushes through

even though the light is
turning yellow.

Okay, we should get going.

We have to wake
up early tomorrow.

- Let's go.
- Mr. Xing...

If I see the yellow light,

I'm the type of person
who rushes in to.

"Monday"

Now the next is The July Boys

Now the next is The July Boys

Hey,

if we lose today,

count it on me.

But,
I thank you guys for your help,

I appreciate it.

1, 2, 3... Let's go!

You left this
in my house yesterday.

What are you looking at me for?

You're supposed to look
at the stage.

Sorry,

but we are not going
to sing the song we had planned.

We wrote an original that

we would
like to perform at the finals.

I would like to give this song

to someone I really care about.

I want to tell her,

that you're a really good person.

Everyone around you,

wants to be better
because of you.

"How to forget"

"an unforgettable end?"

"How to forgive"

"a rational absurdity?"

"When you walks
into my dark side,"

"it feels
like you have opened a skylight,"

your smile bright as moonlight

"and it rips off my disguise."

"Because of you,
I have become a better man."

"Because of you, I want
to fly hight, to laugh loud."

"Because it is you
that I want to hug."

"Because of you,
I am no longer a loner."

"All better now"

"my heart knows that now."

"How to put on a disguise"

"when tears swallow
my hardiness?"

"How to hide"

"the untold past?"

"When your
so called beautiful world"

"starts falling apart"

"Your wound can be healed"

"because I will sing for you."

"Because of you,
I have become a better man."

"Because of you, I cry, I laugh."

"Because it is you,
I want to run away with you."

"Because of you,"

"I want to be your man."

"All better now"

"your tears know now."

"Because of you,
I have become a better man."

"Because of you, I cry, I laugh."

"Because it is you,
I want to run away with you."

"Because of you,"

"I want to be your man."

"All better now"

"All better now,
your tears know now."

"How nice you are,
my heartbeat know now."

Miss, we're heading to our seats.

They're about
to reveal the rankings.

But, Miss, didn't you say...

I know what I said.

And the winner
of this years Network Idol is

Noovy

Hi,

long time no see,

ummm,
I will be in Hua Dong, this,

weekend.

Do... you still stay there?

It's beautiful there.
If you have time,

you two should stay a
little longer.

Eh Can I sit here?

No!

Did you not take your meds today
or something?

Did you not take your meds today
or something?

Your smiling like a maniac.

You know I've heard people say
that when someone

is at the bottom of the pit,
they start giggling like that.

Who does Noovy think they are?

Is Noovy really better than us?

- Right?
- Hey...

What?

Idiot!

Didn't you see Dong's face?

He is so in loved that he even
compose a love song for her.

He is so in loved that he even
compose a love song for her.

Oh my god. I really want to...

Then you must...

The night when we got eliminated,

we were still trying...

Speaking of life,

You think you are an
independent existence,

and yet,

you are always connect to

someone else

without knowing it.

Open the door for me.

Right now?

Or what, have me wait

until your old enough
for a wheel chair?

Are you leaving?

Uhm

Is Miss Yu leaving with you?

That's a matter between us.

I want to compete with you,
man to man.

I don't think you know
what it means to be a man.

Just because you're a
teacher doesn't mean

you can teach me everything.

Then... before you go,

can you teach me
how to upload videos?

All those video
equipment as well.

How much are they?
I'm willing to buy them from you.

I may not have won today,
but I can still sing.

As long as I can keep on singing,

I will always have
another chance.

Sit down.

Let me tell you,

a grown man

will not allow their love rival
to sit next to them.

There are many kinds
of possibilities,

and the worst of all,
is to miss someone you love.

That night

after Dong left,

I have learned something.

Hello mister CEO,

I'm Xing Zhi Yuan.

I've thought about it

and I plan on returning
to Taipei in about a week.

It is my pleasure

to teach at your school...

I was wondering

when you might see this letter.

But, Xing Zhi Yuan, did you know?

I've been following your shadow

all these years,

but you've just never known.

Year 1995, Jimmy Lin came out
with his first album.

That year, you were already the
idol for high school girls.

Did you know I've known you for
that long?

You probably didn't know,

I didn't just know you.

Back then...

I had a crush on you as well.

One
of the craziest thing I've done

in my entire life

is you.

When my marriage ended that day,

I decided
that it was another chance

for me to find you.

By the way...

I also know my way
around the internet.

Thank you.

Back then,
I just wanted to see you again.

I knew,

that I needed someone

like you in my life.

It's not just because

you're tall

and handsome.

Mostly because it always seemed,

that there is...

there is hope in the future

whenever I'm with you.

You were born for great things,

It was never your goal
to drive nice cars

or make lots of money.

Back at the aquarium
when you told me that

you wanted to become a teacher

to help set all the kids free
and define their own success,

I thought to myself,

wouldn't it be nice

to have all these small fishes

return to the sea?

Therefore, Xing Zhi Yuan.

No matter what happens,

please don't let this
little girl down.

"There is a kind
of melody called "reluctant""

"There is a kind letting go
that hurts like a knife."

"Hiding, sealing,
still can't make it go away."

"Please make wound vanish
in this song,"

"leave only the genuine beauty
like poem."

"There is a kind
of melody called "missing"."

"The more you miss,
the more you hurt."

"No matter how long it has been,
the memories still carved deep."

"I thank you with a smile,"

"and letting you go."

"Leave only this heart breaking
love song dedicate to you."

"Dong: Hey, I wrote a new song."

"Would you like me
to sing it for you?"

"Xing: Where are you?

"Or I need to
"google" you as well?"

- Hello
- Hello

Hey, it's me...

tomorrow is a new day,
a new beginning.

Do you want to go with me...

Yu Jing's accident

changed all of us.

Are you guys Yu Jing's
family members?

Do you guys know that

the patient has been pregnant
for sixteen weeks?

I'm the type of person

who always leaves his favourite
dishes to enjoy at the end.

But in the end,
the dishes turn cold,

and all the people you used
to eat with leave.

I found out,

loving cannot occur

when there is a time difference
in between.

The only thing we can do

then is to say goodbye properly.

Take care.

Go!

What? You want more cash?

Who would have thought that

he went back to Taipei
before I did.

He went to the city,

and he sang all the love
songs he knew.

He eventually made a name
for himself as a singer.

I turned all the regrets
in my heart into fuel

to help motivate me.

I stayed.

I started my own little schools
in rural areas.

I built my dream school.

If one's not enough,

than I will create
multiple schools.

And Yu Jing.

She was lucky.

Although she didn't
keep the baby,

but she started a new life

at the Forest School.

She comforted me.

She said thank god her
hands were okay

and she could still play
the piano.

She always told me,

her body may be a little broken,

but her mind hasn't.

If I have learned something

from these years,

it's the realization that the
success I've been searching for,

comes from...

heart.

It's not easy to leave a name

for yourself
in the course of history.

But,

when you close your eyes,

the songs that move you

and the people you care about

will always be there for you...

"Little school"

"2019 Spring"

Mommy,
Is the wind strong enough here?

Of course...

Do you want to try the kite out?

Hey mom, I have decided...

What have you decided, dear?

When I grow up... I want
to become a singer!

When I become a singer,

I'll bring mommy on stage!

Really?

If mommy's going on stage,

than I should wear a nice dress
for that, right?

You can play the piano for me!

We can practice the same song!

Right, we have to practice.

That is my dream, my dreams!

What I liked most in my life,

were my dreams and ambitions.
