Big World (小小的我)

WILL AND TESTAMENT

Chunhe.

Liu Chunhe!

Grandma.

Chunhe.

The care home I was in was so comfortable.

If your ma hadn't begged me,

I wouldn't have come back.

Look at this.

I've only been away a year,

and the pickle jar's gone moldy.

Without me, this home would be finished.

Here's a tip, Kiddo.

Dumb women buy clothes. Smart women like me buy scarves.

They're cheap

and easy to change.

My mood changes every day.

Why were you on the roof?

I was… looking at the sky.

The sky?

Good job.

I told your ma to cut the landline. What era are we in?

Waste of money.

Hello? Who is this?

Uh-huh…

Gimme a sec.

- Chunhe? - Yes?

You sent your resume to a training center?

Yeah.

They want a trial lecture next week.

Wanna go?

Yeah.

Hello? He'll go.

Yikes, look at this rain…

They're here already.

My grandson, Liu Chunhe.

He got top-tier at the college exams.

He's waiting for a college offer now.

That's amazing.

Doesn't he have cerebral palsy?

Doesn't mean he's retarded.

Come. Allow me to introduce you.

The core members of my choir.

Thank you all for coming to celebrate Chunhe's birthday.

Happy birthday to you…

Happy birthday to you…

Hope your wishes come true.

Happy birthday!

Cheers!

For our stage, I think that

the park is better than a housing estate.

At least we won't be reported for noise.

What do y'all think?

I'm fine either way. Whatever you say.

Same for me.

As our lead crooner,

I can rehearse anywhere.

As for

performance opportunities…

We'll do the usual.

Go to my son's supermarket,

buy some goodies for friends and family,

then ask them to watch us perform at the park.

Let's have another toast!

- Let's do it! - Drink!

Cheers!

He's OK. He has trouble swallowing.

He chokes easily.

It's OK…

Chunhe…

It's all right…

Kiddo…

Can you hear me?

We're home.

Liu Chunhe!

If his mother sees him like this,

she'll chew me out.

Then wait a little longer. I can keep you company.

What are you doing?

You took my son drinking?!

No! I took him out to eat,

and he had a few drinks.

Didn't I tell you?

He's re-doing year 3.

He's supposed to be studying!

If you get him drunk, how is he going to study?

Then don't.

What's wrong with taking one night off?

His basics are not bad, and today is his birthday.

He doesn't celebrate it!

He's an adult now. What are you afraid of?

Chunhe…

Is your son's birthday embarrassing?

What am I afraid of?

Of course, you wouldn't know.

You don't even know

how I survived so many years on my own!

Christ…

Show some decency.

I've been helping with Chunhe since he was eight months old.

If it wasn't for me, you would've left him out for the dogs in the trash!

That's right.

If it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't have known newborns can be abandoned in the trash!

Didn't you

do the same to me?

Bullshit!

It's dead…

My cat's dead.

What? How?

It's dead!

You're an adult now.

You gotta stop this bad habit.

What scam are you into now?

I'm playing a game!

Like hell you are. Then why won't you show me?

It's my privacy. Why should I show you?

What privacy do you have?

What would you keep private except for those scams?

Show me!

You're violating my privacy!

What's there to keep private?

Why don't I deserve privacy?

I need privacy, too!

Look!

Chunhe…

In the morning,

in addition to upper limb training,

you have to work on handwriting.

OK. It must've been your handwriting

that affected your essay score.

At 2 p.m.,

he has a math practice test.

It's 120 minutes long.

Uh-huh.

Then heat up some milk for him.

They're gone. They're really gone!

What's on your mind?

I want to go outside.

OK. One minute.

What's up with him?

Hi, everyone. My name is Liu Chunhe.

We'll be looking at a poem today.

Where sunlight does not touch

Spring thrives untouched

Moss in bloom are as small as rice

Like peony shining bright as lights

This poem is namedMoss.

It was written in the Qing Dynasty by Yuan Mei.

What kind of disease is this?

He must be crazy!

Does anyone know what moss looks like?

Anyone?

Quiet. Pay attention to the lesson.

Go ahead.

It's green. And fresh.

That's great.

Look at this.

After a spring or summer rain,

go under the wall

and the gaps between stone steps.

They're fresh green.

They're tiny and mild

and lush.

Look at this.

Jia Dao wrote,

White dews over sunset gloss

A tree's shadow brushes over moss

Bai Juyi wrote,

Birds perched on red-leaf trees

Upon moss-covered ground The moon shines in glee

Liu Yuxi wrote,

Moss cover half the hundred-acre garden

Peach bloosoms replaced By a cauliflower curtain

They're great lines,

but they're just embellishments.

Moss only has a supporting role in those poems.

Only in Yuan Mei's work

does moss have a personality.

Even in dark places where the sun doesn't shine,

moss fights to grow.

It may be small as rice,

but it doesn't give up.

It it not self-defeating.

It uses its strength

to live as dignified as peonies.

What a great lesson! Watch this.

Liu Chunhe?

- Yes? - That's me.

Thanks for coming today. You gave a great lesson.

We all enjoyed it. Good job! Really.

However, we have to consider

the feelings of the children.

But the kids loved it.

That's right. He loved it.

Yeah, he was great.

But look…

In his condition… He may have trouble…

He is physically capable.

I can't call the shots on this.
