Dust in the Wind (Lian lian feng chen)

What's wrong?

I couldn't do the math

Why don't you ask me before?

Huen

Your Mom wants you to bring the rice home

They're going to show a movie

How come you're so late?

I missed the train

When will your father be out of the hospital?

I don't know

Dinner time

Why don't you eat?

Grandpa says if you don't eat

You'll be hungry, and then you'll die

and if you die, you can't live with Mom

or Dad

Be a good boy

Let Grandpa feed you

You're not being good

You have to listen to Grandpa

When you grow up, you can go to school

Be good

Let Grandpa feed you

You won't? Let's put some soup in

It's good with soup

There's oil in the soup

Let's try some soup

What a naughty boy

Taking all the oil in the soup

and adding it to your own rice

leaving nothing for your brothers and sisters

You must pour soup evenly

Everyone must do it this way

I told you

Grandpa feels sorry whenever your Mom beats you

When your Mom's not home

you steal MSG in the kitchen

Eating too much of that stuff

your hair will start falling

And that's not the worst

Tooth paste is for brushing teeth

You even stole toothpaste to eat

You shouldn't do things like that

You must be good

Listen to Grandpa

Listen closely to Grandpa

Look, this isn't the ordinary rice

Grandpa bought this in Taipei

in a fancy restaurant

Only foreigners were eating there

This is Western food

There's an egg in there

You have to eat it

to grow up

Look at these sticks

This is not the ordinary rice

Be a good boy

Eat it

Grandpa, is Wan home?

What do you want him for?

I need him to write a letter for me

Wan

The auntie next door needs your help

to write a letter

Please help me write a letter

OK. Let's go upstairs

He hasn't sent money home for 3 months

His father is angry

Auntie, please slow down

I can't write that fast

OK

Little brother and sister

need money for food and clothes

Tell him to send money

when he gets paid

Grandpa

Is your foot better?

Much better

Slowly

Hello, Grandpa

Hello

Medicine change

Medicine change?

Wait a moment

Ching

Ching

Someone's here to change the medicine

Dad, your watch

School report card

Dad, I don't feel like going to senior high

Then what do you want to do?

I want to go to Taipei and work

I can go to night school if I want

It's up to you

If you want to be a cow, there will always be a plow for you

How much?

27 dollars in all

How come it costs so much?

3 packs of pills cost 15

One bottle of stomach medicine is 12

That makes 27

Stomach medicine?

Those pills are the ones my husband took the day his foot was injured

What's the stomach medicine for?

You devil!

Ding

Ding

Come over here

You devil!

You won't get away

You really know how to eat!

If it's not toothpaste, it's MSG

You even ate stomach medicine!

Your mouth is so itchy

You should try biting rocks

Who's he??

He said you wouldn't be able to pick me up

I told you to wait at the Rear Station

My Mom said the Rear Station isn't safe

She told me to wait on the platform

My rice sack!

What's in it?

Potatoes

Give it back!

What do you think you're doing?

You beat me!

Help! You beat me!

Beating up on an old man!

I told you to mix the colors

This is Huen

This is Hen-chun

How do you do?

I'm Huang Chien-ho

But they all call me Hen-chun

Wait here

I have to rush to work. I'll be back after work

Have you had your meal?

Not yet

No problem

I'll take her to the back to eat

and then to the front to see free movies

Potatoes

Grandpa said to bring this Quemoy crop

to give to your boss

Ma'am

My Grandpa said these potatoes are for you

Weren't you supposed to deliver the lunchbox?

So slow?

Do you know what you're doing?

Have you had your meal?

Not yet

Go to eat

Mrs. Lin, your son fainted

What happened?

He fainted from hunger during the Physical class

From hunger?

He didn't bring lunch today

What happened to your lunchbox?

Thank you teacher, Would you like some water?

No, thanks. I've got to go back to school

Bye

Where's the lunchbox?

The lunchbox!

How could you miss the lunch box?

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Your brain is like a rock

Drifting all day

We're already worried that he's too thin

and you forgot to deliver his lunchbox!

You forgot to turn off the machine

Electricity isn't free

So slow

Where's the lunchbox?

Give it to me

How did it turn to this?

What's wrong with you?

You're not afraid that my son will die?

Sir

Sir, would you like to eat with us?

Hen-chun, there's someone to see you

It might be King

Get the meat for me

King

King

Have you eaten?

Not yet

Let me get your bowl

Huen, you're getting prettier

Ying, let me introduce you

This is Huen

This is Ying

You got your job through her

Your full name is?

Kang So-huen

Come on and eat some rice and eggs

I made it myself

Wan, do you know Hsiung is going into the army?

His boss needs a replacement

1800 per month. Eat and sleep in the boss' place
