In A Good Way (Wo Men De Zi You Nian Dai / 我的自由年代)

Everyone, we've succeeded.

Era of freedom belongs to us!

Era of freedom!

Classmate Lin Jia En. Do you like Liu Chuan?

Please listen to your heart.

Don't be influenced by me.

That day, when Wu Bai was singing, I hugged you.

That's because...

That's because I... -Lin Jia En.

The school has decided to expel you.

This whole thing was started by me. - No, that's not true.

This whole thing has nothing to do with Lin Jia En.

I will let the board decide how to punish the two of you.

Does anyone know someone with public influence?

If we could find someone to speak on behalf of us, maybe that could fix everything.

I'm willing to accept your help, but I have one condition.

This event has affected another student.

I hope you can help her as well.

If you had to protest, so be it! What's the big deal?

Are they sure the professor didn't do anything wrong? If so then we can always protest again.

Why should I help her?

To me, she's very important.

We all once searched for that Freedom, in that Generation

In A Good Way Episode 14

Hey.

I...I...

I asked Ah Qing for your address.

Mm. What is it that you had to find me?

I wanted to tell you some good news! We're not getting expelled.

Mm.

You don't look very happy.

What's wrong?

Shan Feng, who came to look for you?

Son, girls rarely come to look for you.

Why don't you bring her in and introduce her to me?

Hello Uncle. I am Liu Chuan's...

Shan Feng's junior.

I'm Lin Jia En.

Lin Jia En?

Oh, our Shan Feng has mentioned you before.

Come on in.

Have dinner with us tonight, okay?

Don't feel pressured.

You should've said there is no need to be polite.

I don't get to see my son very often,

not to mention his classmates.

Besides, I'm interested in how campus life is,

if it's different from back when I was in college.

Come, just think of it as having a chat with the elderly.

Come, come. Come inside.

Thank you for the invite, Uncle.

You're welcome.

Son, come inside.

Here.

Thank you. -You're welcome.

Zhang Ma, give Miss Lin another serving.

I think that she did not eat anything today.

It's okay, I can help myself.

Thank you. Thank you.

What's wrong? Are you not comfortable?

No, I'm just used to helping myself to what I want to eat.

Jia En, where do your parents work?

My parents run a tea shop near campus.

It's called Inspiration Tea House.

Inspiration Tea House.

Are your parents from Ping Dong?

That's correct. I grew up in Ping Dong.

It's a very interesting name.

Then, what brought you and your parents to Taipei?

My parents wanted to do business in Taipei,

and I came for college.

Is that so? What department are you in?

Foreign Languages.

Not bad! English is very important, and no matter what you do in the future,

it will be a great asset.

Yeah. To be honest, I'm still thinking about what I will do in the future,

But I know that I'm interested in English.

Oh, right, I've heard about the demonstration from Shan Feng

You were even punished with expulsion.

What's the current situation?

We weren't expelled. I came today to tell Liu Chuan that.

Oh. That's very good!

We held the demonstration because of my classmate. She didn't buy a textbook,

and as a result her midterm exam was graded unfairly.

We wanted to fight for her justice, so we organized the protest.

I don't think we did anything wrong. The school must have understood our cause and changed their decision.

That's right. I also support students fighting for their own justice.

And, a fight that ends in vindication feels great.

Originally, I was worried that Liu Chuan would be scolded when he came home,

but I'm relieved to see that Uncle is so kind and understanding.

I'll definitely tell my parents I met you today. They've always been your supporters.

Oh. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank your parents for me.

I should find a day to thank them in person.

Don't be so polite Uncle.

I'm not being polite.

The people I should serve are your parents,

not the government officials I interact with everyday.

Besides, I always put the wellbeing of the people around me first.

This spirit of putting others first,

I see it in Liu Chuan too.

The son always learns from the father.

A lot of people say we're really similar.

Jia En, what do you think? Does our Shan Feng have potential to become like me in the future?

You've been talking so much. You should let her eat.

Oh, sorry sorry. Chatting made me forget to eat.

Here, here. Eat a lot.

Jia En, is the food alright?

Mm. It's very delicious.

Good, help yourself.

Knowing that you and your dad's relationship isn't good,

I thought your dad would be cold and serious.

After eating together, I realized

that he's a lot kinder than I thought, and he cares about you.

Voters do typically think he's very kind.

I'm not surprised you think so too.

Can you tell me what you're exactly mad about?

Is it because I suddenly came to find you, or...?

I'm mad at myself.

This despise my dad's care.

But I couldn't hold on my principles.

I still had to rely on him to solve the expulsion problem.

Don't you think this is ironic

For justice, we protested against the administration.

But we ended up making a compromise with authority.

Do you mean...

The reason we weren't expelled

Was because your dad told them?

Correct.

How are you getting back?

I'm going on the bus.

I'll bring you.

Wear it.

It'll be cold.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was because of your dad that we didn't get expelled.

I naively went to tell you the news.

Now that I think about it. Just now

your dad knew all the answers to the questions he asked me.

Did I say something wrong?

That's not important.

Don't worry about it.

What's wrong now?

Why did you accept your dad's favor?

You don't... don't want everyone to know

That your dad's a legislator?

Is it because of me?

Maybe.

But as I said, don't worry about it.

You should go in.

Can I ask you a question?

That day, the hug at the concert...

What was the meaning of it?

That hug

That hug on

the day of the performance,

what did..

it mean?

That hug,

meant that I like you.

My feeling is still very intense till this day.

However,

That feeling was

very beautiful and simple

but now some things happened

and affected the original feeling

Therefore, I have to think it over.

Lin Jia En, is the fried egg done. I'm so hungry my stomachs gone flat.

Lin Jia En!

Jia En!

I'm coming. Coming.

Why'd you suddenly ask me to make an omelette?

I kept on thinking about it since the last time I ate it

Your cooking skill has improved a lot.

What's wrong?

Aren't you not going to get expelled?

It's nothing.

If it's something, tell me.

You've helped me so much in the past.

If there's a chance let me repay you.

I..do have a small problem.

What kind of problem?

Relationships.

Relationships?

If there was someone who liked you today,

and you're not sure your feelings towards them

No, you might have an idea.

Or might not.

But, he suddenly said

due to some interferences, the original feeling of liking

needs some time to...

Stop!

I can't understand what you're saying.

Are you... telling me

that you like someone?
