The Equation of Love and Death (Li Mi de caixiang) (李米的猜想)

9, 38, 52, 69...

80, 83...

103, 193, 193...

103 and 193, that's months in between.

Three months, what does that mean?

It doesn't mean anything.

Except that something is wrong.

Something must have gone wrong in these three months.

221, 243, 256, 281...

all the way up to 1460...

Up to last month, it would have been exactly 1460 days.

I have all the numbers in my head.

The date of every letter... what pattern lies in this?

Forget it, I've entertained every possibility.

A total of 54 letters in the past four years.

No clue whatsoever.

No city, address, or telephone number,

no ways of reaching him.

All I have are these letters.

He writes about waking up late, being constipated.

Watching a game all night.

How he can smell the food from the restaurant next door.

That's all. Not a clue of where he is.

But he's out there somewhere.

Know what I'd really like to do?

I'd really like to drag him out.

Scream at him why don't you just die?

This is what I'd really like to do.

I'd really like to do this.

Why don't you stop reading the letters?

I've tried.

How about moving away?

I won't.

I need to curse him out loud.

Still the same city.

Nothing has changed in four years.

He is still hiding some place where I can't see.

This city... or that...

I have once told him,

if my parents disapprove our relationship I'll stop eating.

And wait for him.

I didn't think I'd still wait for him when he disappeared.

But the truth is, I've been waiting for four years.

Ten bugs.

It's called the "Microelectrode Guided...

Stereo tactic Deep Brain Surgery".

They use stereo tactic technology.

To locates the nerve in your brain...

that attaches you to heroin.

Then apply microelectrode treatment.

Boom... it's gone.

I was quite muddle-headed around that time

After they destroyed 'the reward center' in my brain.

they needed to let it recuperate...

before planting new nerves.

As a result, I became very forgetful.

My head was quite messed up...

for awhile.

Then I got better and no longer relied on narcotics.

I felt brand new.

I told them I was fully recovered,

but they wouldn't believe me

They still granted child custody to him.

What a bunch of pricks!

Eh, what does he do?

281, 281, 302, 302.

Tell me, what do these numbers mean?

They all have 2 in them.

OK. They all have 2. You know this guy?

Take another look.

Forget it.

After they took away my baby, I have been crying for long time.

Then I thought.

I've got to seek help.

Or I'd never survive on my own.

I didn't intend to tell you this.

I wanted to talk about something else.

I've never told anyone about it.

I mean, what's the use of talking about it?

True.

Nineteen.

Got any singles?

Got two.

It's nineteen.

I don't have any singles either.

One bug less, is that OK?

One bug less.

Fine, wait for me then.

Got change for a twenty?

No, no.

Ok.

Got change for a twenty?

No Changes.

Did you fuck up your head or something?

Over here. Hey, this way!

What about the change?

That cunning bitch! We take this for our change.

I'm getting off after the bridge, can you drive?

Ok.

You're here.

It's me.

Huo-Gui.

I'm Shui-Tian.

There's no bottom to a lake.

As there's no edge to a shore.

What?

Its water remains neither wet nor dry to itself.

As its ripples never conjure the feeling of solitude.

These ripples surround rocks that are neither too big nor too small.

Whispering softly to their very own whispers.

Just whispers...

What? Say that again?

Ahhhh.

Ahhhh.

Somebody jumped off the bridge.

Feifei, Feifei.

Hey!

What should we do? What do we do now?

He should give us the tickets.

Why did he jump?

He fucking jumped?

Did he see a cop?

There was a cop?

I need to find a toilet...

Stop right there, you little bastard.

You looking for a toilet?

You backing out on me,

You bastard dare to back out on me.

Discount tickets for sale Ambient.

Discount tickets for sale Ambient.

Did you see the car driver?

It was just happened, he was here.

Something dropped from above then he ran away.

How did the guy fall?

I don't know, it all happened in a blink.

Wait...

That, that guy.

That guy?

Short hair.

Feifei, come with me.

You Okay?

You were driving... here they come.

Does it hurt?

Your car?

You the driver?

I'll need to see your driver license and car registration.

Tell me what happened first.

Can we do this later?

Sure.

What's going on?

I don't have a license, you go back and wait for me.

Remember what I told you?

Got it.

I do exactly as you say.

So what's next?

Get a cab.

Taxi, hey, taxi...

Get in. I owe you one bug anyway,

where to?

Never mind.

Seriously?

Take this.

My mother used to make me take it when I had a stomach ache.

Cheap and works like charm, take two tablets water.

It's all right, I'm OK.

Take it.

I'm really fine.

Just take it for god's sake!

Thank you.

Where to?

We need to get to 40 Lake East Road.

Lake East Road, I have to turn around then.

What kind of place is it?

A place to buy plane tickets.

It's cheap flying these days.

It's only two blocks away.

I'll take you there.

Wait a minute, we need to go to Mapu first.

Mapu? That's far.

I have a relative there doing water heating business.

I don't have enough money.

He's got money for me.

Fine, I'll take you there.

You take over from here.

Ok.

I heard two peasants fled the scene up there.

Factory workers, I think.

Take a look at this, we found this on him.

"Dying is like flying".

"It's much easier than living".

"The seasons fly through the fingers of time".

"Leaving behind it, hours of hesitation".

The guy's a depressed poet.

Calm down.

Fuck! Fucking shit!

What now? What do we do now?

It's pretty clear...

what happened.

You won't be able to drive your car for awhile.
