One of the Lucky Ones (伴我同行)

Good morning grandma good morning dad, good morning mom

Man Fai, how dare you

Sister

You can't fool her They've all gone out

Wo...

Miss Man Fai, today's the day...

Don't you dare

Got to go

Man Fai, practise your music at home I'll teach you English when I come back

And don't go out, alright

We don't want trouble from grandma

She doesn't want you to be seen on the street

I hear you

Let's go

Wo, we are off to school

See you

Miss Man Fai, mind the steps

How do I look My clothes

Pretty in pink, very cheerful

Let's go then

Miss Man Fai, alright, hold on to me Mind the steps

Wo, why even bother

San, stuff it

Look at her What a baggage to tuck along

It's embarrassing

What did they say

Nothing, it's just noise

Careful now

Hold my arm, we're on a big road

Are there lots of trees and birds around

Yes, now that you mention it

Actually, there are trees on both sides

Really

They block the sun, I take this road to the market everyday

I smell cooking

That's right it's the smell of soya sauce

What is the color of this smell

Soy is black and the colour of the smell...

Is the color of soy

Stand here... stay still

What is that

It sinks

It's a motor car

Careful...

What is that

A bicycle

Just remember, stay out of their way... They can run you over

Why the car stinks and the bicycle doesn't

The motor farts all the time... that's why it stinks

Price gone up again

Inflation When the civil war breaks out we'll have nothing to eat

Alright, I've have a piece

It's a puppy That's right...

Miss Man Fai, squat down and touch it Sure

Just what you need, Miss

When it grows up, it can be your guide

Let's go, forget about him

You want it, Miss Blind

Shut you face, you dog

Miss, be careful

There you go

Are you blind I want liver not the knuckle

My fault

Sit here, be careful...

Have a piece of cake

What's up Are you still angry

How do you know

I can tell from your face

My face Sure

When you are happy, you are like this

When you are angry you are like this

I can tell at once

When you are happy you look really good

Wo, I wish I could see just like you

Miss Man Fai actually you can see too

Only you see in a different way

We see with our eyes and you see with your hands

I don't always see clearly

But you can see through things with your heart

She's blind

Stop it Hey you Get lost...

Have you any manners Don't you have parents

Don't you kid know anything Scrum bags

Go away Get lost

She must have done something bad in her previous life

Her dad's got crabs

No, I can't do that

Mother, this isn't such a good idea...

I don't understand your thinking

I said long ago she should earn to play music

If you've listened, she would have a skill to make a living

Mother, we can't force Man Fai to be an entertainer

She can make a living by herself

Better than being a burden, forever a burden to her brother & sister

This is for her own sake too

I'll buy her a flat she can live off the rent

Wake up Civil war has broken out in the North

I see hard times ahead

Mr And Mrs Ching, why not let your girl be a songstress

There are famous masters in Fu Shan

If she gets famous the family can be proud

I've already taken the deposit

Mother...

No, don't sell me off Man Fai

Mom, I beg you

Trust me, mom won't sell you off

Man Fai, how dare you How dare you eavesdrop on us

Grandma, I beg you I don't want to sing

Take her to her room

Calm down

What'll we do now

Wo Madam

How dare you Who said you could take her out

You want the whole world to know she's blind

You want the whole family to be a laughing stock

Madam, it's my fault I didn't know what's best for Miss Man Fai

But, Madam Please don't sell her off to Fu Shan,

Enough...

Madam, I better go

Mom, I beg you Silly girl be good, come on, sit down

You shouldn't have done that You mustn't contradict grandma

Grandma will be very angry Don't sell me off please

I promise I won't

Am I a burden to you

Why does grandma hate me so much

She is the head of the family...

She can be kind

Just like... When I married you dad,

She drank my tea minutes after I knelt down

That's being nice

Sure, many brides had to kneel much longer

Mom, I am scared

I am afraid you and dad will dump me sooner or later

Man Fai, I will take care of you as long as I live

I just worry that we would die before you

You'll be all alone

I only hope we can outlive you...

so you'll always be taken care of

Mom

I must have done something bad in my previous life

Your misfortune is my punishment

Look, how bright is the moon

It's just like the Mid Autumn Festival

Wo, what were the street kids saying today

They didn't mean anything

No, mother also said something about punishment

Why am I blind

I don't know

Yes you do No, I don't

You brought me up, Wo... Right

So, you must know

I... I do, but I can't tell you

If I tell you your grandma will be mad at me

No, she won't, please tell me

If I tell you don't hold it against your parents

I won't

You weren't blind when you were born

You looked so lovely You loved staring at the lights

When you were 6 months' old your mom took you to hometown

One day, your eyes got all blood shot

Your mom took you to a local herbal doctor

Don't worry, just a flu

Drop 6 times a day She will recover in 4 days

Man Fai...

What's the matter

Look, her eyes Man Fai

Bring her to the doctor at once

Doctor, how is she

What's wrong with her eyes

The optical nerves were all damaged

She wouldn't be able to see anymore

Man Fai...

Had I died then, mom wouldn't be so miserable now

You're being silly

I mean it If I die, everyone will be happier

If you die, I'll be shattered

Wo

Why do you love me so much

I owed you in my previous life

What's previous life

Previous life is... previous life

B... I... R... D... Bird

How many new words have you learnt

Brother taught me flower and bird

What

I am so happy

Let's see

It weights a tael

A present from my boss

Lucky you, a gold chain on your little master's birthday,

may he have many birthdays then Yeah

And not like Wo, stuck with that blind girl for good

I am not called Blind Girl I have a name

Miss Man Fai, good morning

Wo said she is happy with me around

Wo is getting old, she can't take care of you forever

Without her, you will be miserable

My mom said...

You folks will die, your brother and sister will get married

My dad will buy me a house I can live off the rent
