Memory Of The Youth

In 1928

Tsing-tao was a city without worry

and filled with music and happiness

I was 13 years old

and curious about life

I loved to go out everyday

so I could see more, see further

I'm worried about Lin

She has changed 3 schools

during this semester

It's so embarrassing

Don't say that

Lin is the prettiest girl among all the kids

Whoever bullies my brother again I'll make him a Little Turtle!

No, I'm not a Little Turtle!

Help!

She bullied me!

Yes!

Lin!

Don't even think about dinner tonight

I'm not hungry anyway

Don't let her out without my permission

Yes, madam

News Daily!

Do you want one, sir?

News Daily!

Good afternoon, Mr. Sun

Good afternoon

I brought this. Look!

It's made in England

Is this okay? I got this from our kitchen

It's a good stuff but...

And you can take this one too

Isn't this toy yours? You're willing to let it go?

It's not mine. It's my mom's

All right, I'll trade with you

Great

- Here you go - Thank you!

I can see...

Wonderful!

Your beard!

Kid, you have to go somewhere higher

then you can see further

Understood!

Bye

What's this?
