Back To 1989 (1989一念間 / 1989 Yi Nian Jian)

There was a very beautiful senior who always sat there.

You're not allowed to look! I will not let anyone else have a chance.

When time reversed that's when I realized that

every loving moment spent with you was such a blessing.

I will come here every year to tie a yellow ribbon on the tree.

When I tie the twenty-sixth ribbon, it will be time for our reunion.

Every minute I think of you is so precious.

Don't worry about me, I will be right here

living well with everyone.

Over these past few months, thank you to everyone for your taking care of me.

Chen Juan, when the time that you're ready comes,

I will come back to your side right away.

Treat this bite as something that I owe you.

The next time we meet, remember to ask me to repay you.

Ye Zhen Zhen, let us meet in 2016...

Only the two of us who know the truth and

can still remember Chen Che. The others

have already started to slowly forget Chen Che.

I'm not dreaming! This tree is really here!

Zhen Zhen and I are real!

Why are there only three? Did Zhen Zhen forget me?

Mom! - Where did you go? Why wasn't your cellphone—?

Where is Ye Zhen Zhen?

And Li Jin Qin and Lin Xiao Long!

Where are they?

Why are you asking about these people?

Wasn't Ye Zhen Zhen your best friend?

Her family opened up a suit shop, didn't they?

Why haven't I ever heard you mention her before?

Where is she? - You...

forgot. - What?

What did I forget?

Zhen Zhen was in a car accident.

Didn't I tell you? The person you won't ever forget in this life is Auntie Zhen Zhen.

If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be in this world any more.

You forgot.

The wound on your right arm is from the car accident you were in where you were three years old.

2016

1993

Run slowly.

Go. Hurry.

Will Chen Che and I have this one day?

Auntie Zhen Zhen, what are they doing?

They're taking wedding photos.

Two people that like each other will marry.

After marriage, they will happily be together.

Then when I grow up, I also want to marry Auntie Zhen Zhen.

I like Auntie Zhen Zhen the best.

Okay. Once you grow up, I'll be your bride.

Okay. Pinky promise.

We promised on this.

Do you like balloons? - Yes, I like.

Come on. Let's go find balloons.

Chen Che, balloons need to be held tightly so they won't fly away. Got it?

Chen Che, you must not wander away. I just need to fix my shoes.

Chen Che!

Where are you?

Auntie Zhen Zhen, where did you go?

Auntie Zhen Zhen!

That day, I found you at the hospital.

The driver told me that you were only okay because a woman pushed you out of the way.

But at the time, no one could find Zhen Zhen.

It was as if she just suddenly vanished from this world.

I seem to have seen these images in my mind.

Have you tried finding her?

I don't believe this. How could someone suddenly disappear?

It's been over twenty years. If I could've find her, I would've already tried.

But she already has been legally presumed dead.

Despite how much we can't bear to, we must accept that she is already gone.

Presumed dead?

Why did the butterfly effect happen to Ye Zhen Zhen?

What are you saying? - Could this be the price that I have to pay

for going back to 1989?!

Mom, the scar only appeared after the dance (on Christmas).

It appeared when I agreed to be with Zhen Zhen.

What rubbish are you talking about?

I'm really worried about your present state of mind.

Hey! Where are you going?

I have to go find Grandpa. Go home first, don't wait for me.

Hey! Hey, Chen Che!

Why?

Why is it like this?

Was it me going back to 1989 that harmed Zhen Zhen?

What if I hadn't gone back to 1989?

What if Zhen Zhen hadn't fallen in love with me?

Would she not have to disappear any more?

No. I don't accept this ending. I don't accept it.

I must go back to 1989 and stop all of these things from happening.

Zhen Zhen, a 2016 without you, without our future, what should I do?

Grandpa!

Grandpa, wake up!

What must I do to get back to 1989?

You... you've come back.

You remember, don't you?

Grandpa! Professor! You remember that I went back to 1989, right?

You were the one who told me that within one area of space-time, two of me can't exist.

It was you who told me that how you left is how you'll come back.

You understood. You knew.

You know how to go back to 1989, right? Please tell me.

Grandpa, hurry and tell me!

I must go warn Zhen Zhen. I must go save her!

You can't be like this.

You can't change history.

This isn't history!

This is the outcome of what I've changed!

If I hadn't gone back to 1989, then things would not have turned out like this.

I must go back to change it. I must go back to correct that mistake.

Oh... it was you who changed history, right?

Do you not know

how scary the butterfly effect is?

You have to be careful, alright?

I got it.

I understand it now.

Then what should I do? What can I still do?

Grandpa, hurry and tell me!

Did I eat already?

Grandpa!

Did I eat already?

Grandpa! Can't you be more clear headed?!

In this world, other than Zhen Zhen,

there's only you left who knows about what happened. Now that you've become demented...

Zhen Zhen was in a car accident.

Could it be...

Could it be that all of this happened because of me?

How you came... is how you go.

What you mean is... the tunnel?

How you came... is how you go.

How you go... is how you come.

How you came... is how you go.

Do you want to go... or come?

I remember.

Chen Che, you're Xiao Juan's son!

Where are you going?

You can't go back!

I don't believe that I can't go back to 1989. I don't believe it!

Since I was able to go back last time,

it's possible to do it again.

Just like what grandpa said before, this is a space-time portal.

It must be. It must be!

Zhen Zhen, wait for me.

Wait for me.

If this is really the gap between time and space,

then what should I do so that I can once again meet you

where these two time-spaces intersect?

If this is really the gap between time and space,

I'm willing to go back and forth here everyday,

waiting for our next meeting.

Chen Che, how are you?

I really miss you.

I saw a poem in the newspaper today. It was written like this...

"The fish says that because I live in the water,

you can't see my tears."

"The sky is said to be blue everyday."

"The moon is said to be round."

"A sunny day makes way for the rain to come."

"A round moon makes way for a waning moon."

"Our short meeting happened for the purpose of a long separation."

Did our meeting in 1989 happen for just an even longer separation?

If Zhen Zhen was here,

she would definitely scream.

If Chen Che was here,

he would have caught that for me.

Just one bowl of noodles. - Leave, leave, hurry and leave!

What do you mean "leave?" - Leave! I run a small business,

and not charity. - It's just one bowl of noodles.

This bowl of noodles... I haven't even opened yet!

Don't bring me bad luck. - Boss.

Just leave! - Boss.

Give me a bowl of Yang Chun noodles and two side dishes. I'll treat this man here.

Alright. Wait for a little bit.

Hurry, hurry! Go!
