Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (春江水暖)

We didn't pick an auspicious day, Mr Jiang.

Go take care of that table.

We came to wish you a happy birthday.

Remain in good health!

We wish you long life and happiness.

Thank you!

Did demolition start yet?

It's well underway.

It's to prepare for the 2022 Asian Games.

They call it "Urban Organic Renewal."

The subway will go from Fuyang to Hangzhou in 30 minutes.

It's about time they modernized it, that's a good thing.

Unfortunately housing prices are modernizing too.

The electricity will be back on soon.

Today is an auspicious day.

Our big brother likes a romantic atmosphere!

The fortune teller said today would be lucky.

Without water or electricity!

Double happiness and long life to mom!

Kangkang, say happy birthday to your Grandma.

Have you said hello to Grandma?

Mom, happy birthday!

Brother-in-law, this is a friend of mine.

This is Director Wang.

Hello, Mr Wang.

Today's a great day.

Your Mom's birthday!

You really are devoted sons, it's a pleasure to see.

Mrs Wang!

Thanks for coming. It's an honour.

That's their son, the Wang boy.

What a handsome young man.

How old is your son?

Twenty-eight.

About the same age as our daughter.

Daughter!

Come over here! I want to introduce you to someone.

This is Mr Wang.

This is his son, the Wang boy. You're about the same age.

Talk to him, get to know one another.

You can add each other on WeChat.

Young man, take my niece's contact.

The power is back on, I'll start cooking!

Freshly fished.

This is fresh white bass from the Fuchun River.

Fan Zhongyan and Li Bai both wrote poems about this fish

and its exquisite taste.

"The waters twist through the mountains,

"the white bass is a sign of...

"eternal abundance."

Long life to our old dame!

Enjoy your meal!

Eat, eat. I'm going to see my brothers.

Come in and eat, brother.

We still have fish to scale.

Can you lend me some money?

Several restaurants haven't paid us.

And we're saving up for Yangyang's flat. He's getting married.

Is it okay now?

What did you eat?

He choked on the crab.

Big brother!

What is it?

I'm not lending you money.

I'm not a bank!

I'm not asking anything!

Go back inside then.

Go and keep Mom company.

You're getting in our way back here.

Dammit.

Let me pass. I'll go see the electrician.

Just what I need!

Don't take from the pot without asking big brother.

He'd say it's fine, no need to ask him.

I'm always there when you need me.

I'll pay you back soon, don't worry.

Count it.

Give me two more.

With this outage right as we were eating,

our guests are sweating like mad.

It'll be back on in no time. Rest assured.

- Help me out here. - Don't worry.

Youfu!

- Come down quick! - What for?

- We're paying our respects to Mom. - In the dark?

Uncle says it's the most auspicious hour.

I'm coming.

The whole family is here to wish her a long life.

- I know. - Hurry up!

I'm coming.

Thanks everyone for coming

to celebrate our grandmother's 70th birthday!

All four of your devoted sons came

to wish you a long life.

Shall we start then?

Let's begin.

All children and grandchildren may now bow.

May her happiness be as vast as the East China Sea.

Second bow.

May her life stretch on like the Southern Mountains.

Third bow.

May everyone in the family find happiness.

A round of applause!

Thanks, Mom. I wish you good health.

Thanks, Mom.

It's the second son.

- The third son. - Happy birthday, Mom!

Thank you, Mom. Happy birthday!

That's it for the four sons. Now the grandchildren.

Kangkang!

Let's go with her.

Can you look after Kangkang?

Third and Fourth, we'll follow you.

Grandma's gone.

Mom has high blood pressure.

The power comes back only when you don't need it.

The city of Fuyang stands along the Fuchun River.

Stork Hill and Deer Hill rise on opposite banks.

The river runs through Hangzhou and empties into the East China Sea.

The scholar Huang Gongwang lived here as a hermit in the 14th century

and painted his famous "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains."

The history of the place can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

Sun Quan founded the Kingdom of Wu here.

His descendants have made the old town of Longmen their home.

My son Yangyang marries in October. He hopes to buy a flat.

Can you pay me for last year's fish?

I have to tell you, brother,

that I was swindled.

My brother-in-law invested in a real estate project.

He borrowed 3 million from me over one year.

I was enticed by the interest he promised me.

That was 3 years ago.

And Third brother lost his money gambling.

I don't have a cent right now.

Adjust the scale.

I don't have a cent.

I understand.

I hear your building is getting torn down?

Youjin!

You're hiding so you don't have to pay me!

Shame on you!

Youjin! Pay us back our money!

Get down here now!

Shame on Yu Youjin hiding in his home to not pay us back!

- Big brother knows I took money? - No.

Take the money back.

Put it in your bag.

- Do we have to pay hospital? - The bill came.

I brought you some sunglasses.

They're nice! Like yours.

You're my brother, aren't you?

Who's with Mom?

Baby brother.

- Did you pay Mom's hospital bill? - It's taken care of.

How much was it?

All the money we got yesterday at the birthday party.

Hello, Doctor Jin.

I'm Mrs Bai's eldest son.

I wanted to know more about how she's doing.

Of course.

She had a heart attack caused by her high blood pressure.

It has made her dementia worse.

Will she be able to keep living alone?

I doubt it.

So what will we do?

As a matter of fact...

Fengjuan and I are busy with the restaurant.

We get home late every night.

Guxi has to teach, so she won't have time either.

This is difficult.

Ying and I live on our boat,

and our house is getting demolished soon.

Yangyang lives in a dormitory at the factory.

We can't rely on our brothers.

As for Third brother, his wife left him.

He has enough worries with his handicapped son.

Younger brother is like a three-year-old child.

He's no use at all.

Mom used to be so resilient. Now she's senile?

Dad's dying last year was a big blow.

I often see her sitting alone, staring into nothing.

I had been trying to cheer her up, but I never saw this coming.

It's terrible.

You've got three days. You know what to expect

if you don't pay.

Up in the Milky Way

A little white boat sways

On the boat there's a fragrant olive tree

And a little white rabbit playing

You've lived here 20 years and never bought a place?

We didn't have money. Now the prices have doubled.

You should have bought 10 years ago.

We were waiting to have money.

A few years ago, it was still cheap.

For shared-ownership houses, it's a good 200 thousand.

That's not what we want.

I want my own house with...

with a deed.

That's better, but you need to be able to buy.

I'm telling you, selling this stuff is no use.
