Luxury Car (Jiang cheng xia ri)

LUXURY CAR

Dad!

Sorry, I'm late!

There was so much traffic.

Darling, you've changed so much. I hardly recognize you.

Prettier than before?

As pretty as an actress.

How's Mom?

Any better?

It's started again, but this time it's not so serious.

She's always talking about you and your brother.

You know she would love to see him.

I know but I've been looking for him for a year now,

and nothing.

It's as if he's hiding on purpose.

Well you know he no longer speaks to me.

But this time it's different,

your mother really wants to see him.

Dad,

take this. It's all the information I've found on him.

I'm drowning in work. I won't be able to help you.

Go to that police station.

They helped him with his residency in Wuhan.

I went there.

There's a really nice officer.

Ask him to help you.

This is so heavy!

It's full of your favourite food!

Your mother made me carry it.

Oh, Mom! We can find everything in the city!

Be careful, Dad.

A Li, open up!

A Li, open up!

Do you know what time it is? My father is here!

I'm coming!

Sorry, I overslept.

Pick up your rubbish, my dad's tired.

- He's brought us lots of goodies. - Like what?

Rice cakes, jujubes, everything.

Come on, sit down.

Rest a little.

I share the room with A Li.

It's cheaper that way.

You can have her bed while you're here.

I'll get some water so you can freshen up.

Hey!

Come here

Over here!

Show them this.

See if you recognize anyone in this photo.

- Do you know him? - No.

Neither do I.

Dad?

Comrade Wang,

thank you

for coming with me.

It's exhausting, I'm extremely sorry.

No need to thank me,

it's my duty.

And anyway, today's my last day at work.

I've come just to finish off a few formalities

for my retirement.

Then I'm even sorrier to disturb you.

You'll soon be retired too?

Actually,

I should've retired last year.

You know,

there's a real shortage of teachers in the country.

The administration wants to keep me two more years.

But I want to stay on.

It's hard to leave the kids.

I've watched all of them grow up.

What did you say was wrong with your wife?

Uterine cancer.

She's had it for many years now.

I doubt she's going to make it through this year.

These days,

all she talks about is seeing her son.

Though it's good timing since it's summer vacation.

I promised to bring him back to her.

Cigarette?

Are you enjoying yourself?

Where is my lovely little Yanhong?

She's busy.

- She hasn't arrived yet. - Go get her!

Fang Fang is not enough for you?

She's not bad! Go get her.

As soon as she comes, I'll call her.

Hurry up! Call her on her cell phone.

I've been here 2 hours and haven't seen her!

Hurry up!

Hello, welcome!

Yanhong!

A client insists on seeing you. Hurry!

Good evening, Boss.

Good evening, Boss.

He Ge!

Go get Yanhong.

Right away

Two threes.

Three threes.

Drink, drink, drink!

He Ge wants to see you immediately.

Go and I'll handle everything.

Director Tang,

I'm sorry, I can't take care of you today.

I'll have a quick drink and next time, I'll stay with you all night.

Today I came especially for you.

You don't believe me?

Hey guys, didn't I come especially for her?

So...

Tonight, nobody will interfere. You're staying here.

You'll stay here and have fun with me till sunrise.

Like in the song, "I'll wake you up in the morning."

Please, let her go.

Our boss wants to see her urgently.

Who is this goddamn boss?

Does he know how to run this place or what?

You want to go?

If you want to go,

first drink three full glasses.

Then you're free.

Which room is Yanhong in?

Drink!

Our boss wants her.

Unbelievable! Who's the client here?

Does he always get so involved in her business?

My period is a week late.

If I'm pregnant,

it's yours.

How do you know it's mine?

You're the only one who never wears condoms.

How long is your father staying?

I don't know.

He'll leave once he finds my brother.

In a few days,

I'll take your father on a sightseeing tour of the city,

and see the Huang He tower.

If you're tired, have a seat here.

Take a close look.

These are all the unidentified corpses

found in and around Wuhan over the past 3 years.

If you have any questions or want to see details, just stop me.

Stop!

That's the owner of an Audi that was stolen 2 years ago.

The case remains open, and there's a new lead.

My son...

left for Tibet two years ago.

He never came back.

And I have no news.

I've been looking for him for over a month.

Not a trace.

When I came back, alone,

on the train,

I suddenly realised.

It's better this way.

Not to find him.

This way...

there's still hope.

That he's still alive.

Sir,

look at the building on the left.

It's the Tian Ren Plaza, 50 stories!

Three years ago,

it was the country's tallest building.

One of my friends built it.

For Christ sakes, we're not peasants!

My father studied at Wuhan University.

You weren't even born.

I'm extremely sorry.

So, after you finished your studies,

why didn't you stay in the city?

What a question! If he had stayed,

he never would've met my mother!

And my brother and I wouldn't be here.

Well, at that time,

I made some mistakes.

I made some anti-revolutionary remarks.

I was sent to the country by force.

And I stayed, forty years now...

See those buildings over there?

What a lovely day, we can see so clearly.

It looks just like Hong Kong, right?

That's Gui Shan's television tower.

It's Wuhan's tallest building.

There's an elevator that goes all the way to the top.

When we have some time, I'll show you Wuhan by night.

That's Qing Chuan's pavilion.

You're a cultured man,

could you tell me something about this pavilion?

It was constructed in the Jia Jing era of the Ming dynasty,

in memory of Da Yu, the Minister of Water.

Da Yu?

You don't know who Da Yu is?

Are you thirsty? I'll get you something to drink.

Tell me,

how long have you been seeing him? Why didn't you tell me?

He's a little old for you,

but he seems honest.

How long have you been together?
