It should be here somewhere.
Okay.
Let's split up and search.
Okay.
These are albums from high school.
We'll need to find the university ones.
I've got the university ones.
Here, look through these.
Okay.
Here.
Yimeng.
Do you remember
how big or thick
the album is?
I took part in an art exhibition.
So it wouldn't be too big.
Something I could easily carry.
Easily carry?
Could it be like a sketchbook?
Probably.
Let's continue searching.
Here.
Is this the one?
"Star Gallery."
Is this it?
Yes, that's the one.
I'm sorry.
Miss Han's painting has been sold.
May we know
the buyer's contact?
I'm sorry.
Our policy
is to keep buyers' information confidential.
Not even the artist can know?
It's imperative that I find
the buyer.
Well...
Alright.
I'll try
and get in touch with the buyer.
See if they're willing to meet.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thanks.
The painting
was previously hung here.
But later,
a customer who dined here
purchased it.
They came to eat and casually bought the painting?
The guest
seemed particularly fond of the painting.
Is there a way to contact the guest?
Okay, I'll check.
Zhang.
Give Mr. Yang a call.
Will do.
At first,
our boss wasn't going to sell it.
Because he had picked out
the painting himself.
The mood really suited
the restaurant well.
See? Till now,
our boss preferred to leave the wall empty
because he couldn't find
a good replacement.
If that's the case,
why did your boss sell the painting?
From what I recall, that night,
the customer
had a long talk with the boss.
He finally convinced him.
I figured,
since he loves
Miss Han's work so much,
he must have
a special reason.
Then please help me
get in touch with him.
I'd appreciate it.
Okay, I will.
Thank you.
Little girl.
Are your parents home?
What is it, Keke?
Someone's looking for you.
Looking for me?
Do you know them?
No.
Come.
Hello.
Are you Mr. Liu?
The painting is with me.
If you need it
to prove your point,
I'm willing to help.
Thank you.
I'm truly grateful.
I should be the one thanking you.
The painting is upstairs.
Come, I'll show you.
This is my daughter's room.
The painting has always been placed here.
When I first saw it,
it was at a restaurant.
There was a stain in one corner.
I bought it
and did some simple restoration.
May I know
why you picked this painting?
Actually, this painting
was chosen by my daughter.
Right?
Which pot are you watering?
This one first, then that.
Those two.
Okay.
You do it, I'll watch you.
I haven't seen my girl
so happy in a long time.
Is Keke usually not happy?
Actually, when she was two,
her mother
passed away in an accident.
She was still very young then.
But I think that one saying
is so true.
The mother and daughter's hearts are connected.
From then on,
no one could raise the child.
I had to do it myself.
So I raised her alone
while working.
It must have been
a tough time for you.
Thinking about it now,
it was basically a nightmare.
When my girl
started crying,
no one could coax her to stop.
One time, I ran out of ideas.
So I decided to take her for a ride.
We happened to pass by a restaurant
and went inside.
There,
you saw the painting.
The painting
was hung right beside our table.
Keke was still crying
when we arrived at the restaurant.
But the moment she saw your painting,
she stopped crying.
Incredible, right?
Thinking back,
it still feels very surreal.
Do you think it was a coincidence?
I think
it was fate.
I brought her
back there a few more times.
Every time she saw the painting,
she would immediately quiet down.
Same with me.
Whenever I see the painting,
I feel a sense of warmth.
As if I'm being healed.
Miss Han.
I could tell.
This painting
is probably one of your earlier works.
A good piece of artwork
is not all about its technique.
What's more important
is the emotions it portrays.
That's the reason
why I had to buy the painting.
That's why I said,
I should be the one thanking you.
Your painting
accompanied Keke and me
through
a very tough period.
It has a special meaning
in our family.
I never would have expected
that my painting
could be of such use.
I'm delighted
to hear about it from you.
Your painting
gave a lot of courage
to my family.
Hopefully, the same courage
could help you
get back on your feet again.
Keke.
Keke, come here.
Listen to daddy.
