The Wandering Earth (Liu Lang Di Qiu) (流浪地球)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Hurry up!

Look! It's Jupiter!

The largest planet in the Solar System.

Daddy, there is an eye on Jupiter.

That's a huge windstorm on Jupiter.

What's a windstorm?

Jupiter is like a huge balloon,

composed of 90% hydrogen.

Grandpa, you know what's hydrogen?

What is hydrogen?

It's the fuel for Daddy's rocket.

You see, Grandpa.

Hydrogen is a fuel for Daddy's rocket.

Oh.

Liu Qi.

Huh?

A day may come

when you can see Jupiter without a telescope...

Daddy will come back.

Where are you going?

Daddy is going on a mission.

The world's most important mission.

After I leave,

you'll be Liu Qi's only guardian.

And with this,

you'll get underground city residency without drawing lots.

It's the only way

to make sure you'll survive

both you and Liu Qi.

- I didn't have a choice. - That's enough. Trust me, I get it.

Father...

I'm sorry.

At first,

nobody cared about this disaster.

The number of wildfires, has been the highest...

Just another wildfire...

...several locations all over the planet.

...another drought...

...survival of the planet.

Sea level continues to drop...

...another extinction of a species...

And this had intervened to prevent further spreading of the riots.

...another vanishing city.

Until everyone was entwined with this disaster.

The Sun is rapidly degenerating and expanding.

At this rate, the Sun will engulf Earth in 100 years.

Within 300 years, the Solar System will no longer exist.

To face this cataclysmic catastrophe,

mankind united like never seen before.

...to prevent the future catastrophe...

In order to maximize the chance of human survival,

the United Earth Government

decided to propel Earth out of our Solar System

to fly towards our new home 4.2 light years away.

This mighty and enduring human migration

is named as the Wandering Earth Project.

The first test starts in 36 months' time.

Mankind will devote every possible resource

to construct 10,000 Earth Engines on the planet's surface

to propel Earth out of the Solar System.

The height of every Propulsion Engine is 11,000 meters.

They will provide

a total of 150 trillion tons of propulsive force.

Salute!

The construction of the Navigation Platform

International Space Station will be completed

at the beginning of this month.

Three hundred eleven Chinese senior pilots

- and 709 engineers that were selected. - One. Lift off.

Meanwhile, to safeguard Earth's trajectory,

the United Earth Government consolidated global astronautical capabilities

and spent 30 years building the Navigation Platform International Space Station.

The Navigation Platform International Space Station

will travel with a relative position of 100,000 kilometers from Earth.

It will provide warnings, navigations, and communications for Earth.

Centrifugal drive, ready for activation.

Worldwide sea level will rise 300 meters in ten years' time.

The cities of Haikou and Zhanjiang

will be the first to be hit by the tsunami.

To deal with the rapidly deteriorating conditions,

the UEG constructed an underground city beneath each Earth Engine.

Until Earth's arrival at its new home,

these will be the only refuge for mankind.

The right to underground residency

will be selected by drawing lots.

A winning lot cannot be transferred, shared, or gifted.

Beginning now, mankind,

a tiny tribe of the Solar System,

will be embarking upon a 2,500-year wandering voyage.

- Don't rush, walk slowly! - The surface temperature

will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius this year.

Surface residents from each district will be located...

Easy. Hey.

- Hey. - Don't push!

Daddy will fly up into the sky

and turn into a star

to always watch over you.

Daddy, is it true that you're going to turn into a star?

Of course.

From now on, you just have to count

three,

two,

one.

Look up.

You will see Daddy.

Goodbye, Solar System.

Goodbye, Solar System.

Bye.

Goodbye, Solar System.

Welcome to The Morning News.

These are today's headlines...

With the arrival of the new year,

the first batch of personnel from the Navigation Platform will be returning,

having completed 15 to 20 years of station duties.

Underground citizens around the world are eagerly anticipating their arrival.

Therefore...

"Anticipating. Anticipating.

Spring breeze has arrived.

The spring now is heading closer and closer.

The yearly planning starts with spring.

It's full of effort.

It's full of hope."

Zhou Qian, tell us.

How do you define hope?

Hope is something precious.

It's precious like a diamond...

...for our time.

Hope is the only direction.

The only direction to our home.

Well said. Please sit, Zhou Qian.

Han Duoduo, do you have any thoughts?

Well, I have nothing to say.

I just want to take a look outside.

But it's too dangerous outside.

Be seated. Class, don't panic. It's just a display malfunction.

- Let's go. Let's go. - Go back. Xiao Ming, go back.

Class, don't panic.

- Did you do this? - Shut up! Let's go!

Teacher, look, Han Duoduo has just run away!

Happy New Year, folks.

- Why don't you celebrate? - Happy New Year!

Hu Kou.

Is the Committee giving out dumplings tonight?

Come. All you think about is food!

- Where is Grandpa's vehicle pass? - I've got it.

Shall we grab some dumplings before we leave?

- Forget it. Don't come then! - Liar!

You said you'll take me outside.

All personnel, return to your post.

All personnel, return to your post.

- Where is my order? - It's here.

Durian-flavored, dried earthworms!

What are you looking at?

Hey, come on, it's just a day trip.

- What's the rush? - That's what it is to you.

I'm not planning on returning.

Get moving! We are going nowhere without the suits.

You had the mahjong I needed, why didn't you discard it?

I was going to win. What the fuck?

Isn't that bunny girl's tail

- soft and sweet? - Hey, no.

- Are we meant to be together, angel? - No. I told you. You and I...

Now tell me, what are you doing here? It's New Year!

I can't believe how cheeky you are.

Hey.

Let's go.

Yi Ge?

- Yi Ge? - Bring it on.

Are the suits ready?

You have the stuff?

Pretty new.

Fully checked. They work.

And I got you skewers, too.

Freshly made.

Good.

Grab the suits.

How old are you?

Hey, check out this tag Yi Ge made!

Just like the real thing.

- It's yours. - Thanks, Yi Ge.

Return the suits tomorrow.

Thanks, Yi Ge. See you.

Hurry up and move.

Didn't you say you are not coming back?

Hold it.

You're not coming back?

And this is all you paid me?

For two of my thermal suits?

Yi Ge, I'll make it up when I get back.

For years, I have been known...

for honest trading only.

No credit given.

Yi Ge, I really need to go out today.

What for?

Just stay here with your sis for the New Year.

Hey, boss, look! He's gonna do it!

Look!

You filthy repairman.

I dare you! Use it here...
