女骑手

My father once told me,

life is like an unknown journey,

full of hardships and dangers.

No one can foresee the end.

Horse racing is the same.

Don't race just to win or lose.

It's just a ride in your life.

It's your own path,

your own wind,

and your own sky.

Xu Yuan.

Hello, Yangmu.

Thank you for accepting my interview before the race.

What should I say?

Interviews aren't about what to say.

Let's just have a chat.

Let's go somewhere else to talk.

Sure.

Okay.

Over there.

You are the first female rider in this pastoral area

to participate in the traditional horse race.

Is there a story behind this?

I don't think there are any stories.

Tell me anything.

You can start with when you learned to ride.

I was little when I learned to ride a horse.

At that time...

Oh.

So close.

Move away. My turn.

Yes!

Here you go, hehe!

They all said I was a tomboy.

I didn't know why I always kept short hair either.

Until one day by chance,

I found out the truth.

It was a long-hidden secret.

It's my turn, right?

Tch.

Just wait.

Oh, she lost.

She couldn't even throw it out.

You cheated.

You hit me with the hat on purpose.

You are sore losers.

You lost but refuse to admit it.

Go play with the girls.

Jinx.

You are not welcome here.

Leave quickly.

Fine, I'll go. Who wants to play with you anyway?

Hurry up and leave.

Why would you play with us?

Exactly.

Go play with girl stuff.

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

Strangely enough,

I really didn't like

those games for little girls.

Wrestling,

raiding bird nests,

and playing Uldo

are what I actually liked.

Fighting was okay too.

You have to swing this.

Use some strength.

Let me show you.

Is it loud?

- Yes! - Yes!

Ouch! What is this?

Sheep dung.

Boss, it was Yangmu who did it.

Yeah.

Right behind that rock.

Darn Yangmu!

After her!

Dazhu, look!

The jinx is hiding in the sheep pen.

Darn Yangmu!

How dare she throw sheep dung at me!

After her!

Don't run if you have the guts!

Stop!

Dazhu, she's not here.

She should be over there.

Look, on the roof!

The jinx is on the roof, quick!

Split up and search.

Yangmu!

I see you!

Stop hiding.

Oh, Dazhu, my hat.

Find her first. It won't get lost.

Well, Dazhu.

I'll get beaten if I lose my hat.

Ugh, so annoying!

Darn Yangmu!

Just you wait!

Let's go.

Let's find the hat!

Jinx!

Your brother?

I didn't know at first.

But the truth will out.

They always called me a jinx,

saying that I killed my brother.

Actually,

[Lei Feng Mobile Hairdressing Volunteer Service]

I really wanted to know the answer too.

Here for a haircut?

Yes.

Here, bro.

How much could a haircut cost?

Why not just get it cut in the village?

You came all this way just for him. You're really something.

He does a great job.

It's almost shaved off.

What's good about it?

I think

you're just crazy about wanting a son.

Girl, don't move.

Don't move.

Don't move. Come on.

Come on.

Be good. Don't move.

Okay.

Dad.

Yes?

Did I have a brother?

Later I found out

that question that day

uncovered the truth buried for years.

Yes.

I did have a brother,

a twin brother,

named Zhuozhuo.

Mom and Dad had named him long ago.

But because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck,

my brother didn't survive.

That's why

those kids called me a jinx.

It's not that we didn't want to tell you.

Just some things take time.

We were waiting,

waiting for you to grow up,

to be able to understand these things,

before telling you.

Alright.

Go to sleep.

Be good.

I could tell

that Dad didn't dislike me.

He just wanted a son who could race horses.

Your father used to be a horse racing champion?

Of course.

He used to be the most famous horse racing champion in our town.

For five consecutive years,

my father was the champion.

Mom said,

they met at the horse racing festival.

Back then,

Dad was the hero of countless girls,

their dream lover.

I could feel Dad's longing.

He was always thinking about horse racing.

The fire buried deep in his heart

never went out.

So you chose to inherit his dream?

Not only for Dad,

but also for my brother.

It's as if

this is my mission,

our way home.

I always believe

my brother Zhuozhuo

gave me his strength,

letting me fulfill for him.

Dad's unfulfilled dream.

Yeah.

Dad's dream.

Suddenly,

everything became clear.

Like short hair.

And Uldo.

And those things Dad taught me.

Everything a boy should know.

Dad longed for a son

who could inherit his ambition,

gallop on the grassland,

and become a horse racing king.

Pony.

As God willed,

it was such a coincidence

that I met Zhuozhuo and Nida.

Zhuozhuo?
