Fifteen Years To Wait For Migratory Birds (十五年等待候鸟 / Shi Wu Nian Deng Dai Hou Niao)

Hello? Dad?

What? Leukemia?!

I understand.

Lili!

Lili!

Doctor, what exactly is her condition?

I can handle the results.

If it's really leukemia,

how many years do I have?

Every sickness is different,

but generally the chance of surviving 5 years is 10%.

So that means

I have 5 years, at most.

No!

Lili, don't worry. It's alright.

Yes, Lili. Take care of yourself, be more optimistic.

When your mother fell ill,

didn't they keep saying there was a low chance it could be cured?

But hasn't she been doing well?

There are medical advances everyday.

My mom won't be able to handle it when she hears I'm sick.

Don't worry about your mom. I'll take care of her.

You need to take good care of yourself.

Take it easy. Don't worry.

No matter how hard it might be,

I'll do whatever it takes

to help you through this crisis.

The cause of cancer is extremely complex.

But, based on your situation,

it's probably hereditary.

Uncle Liu, when you married my mom

did you know about this?

She and I may become a large burden on you.

A life-long burden.

I'm more than happy

to look after you two.

I'd be happy.

Coming!

Coming!

How come you three all come back together?

I have something in the oven.

Mom!

Lili, what's wrong?

Aunt Li- - Don't.

It's all Qianren's fault.

Qianren's company started an initiative to find errors,

He scolded Lili harshly in front of everybody.

Of course Lili feels wronged.

I asked what happened downstairs just now.

I, I told him off, too.

Lili. Is it necessary to cry like this?

What really happened?

Sorry, Aunt Li. I was definitely in a bad mood today.

Once this came up, I couldn't control my temper.

I upset Lili today.

Don't worry. I'll look after her in the future.

I'll never upset her again.

Such a silly child.

Wasn't it just criticism on your work?

What's the big deal?

Qianren is stern so you'll do better in the future.

Alright, alright. Don't cry.

If you keep crying, I will scold you.

Aunt Li, don't scold Lili.

Let her cry to her heart's content today.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Lili. - Mom.

We haven't spoken in awhile.

Let's sleep together today, ok?

Of course, tonight

mom will sleep with you.

The soup will all boil off soon.

Mom, I'll help you.

You have to help Lili keep her illness a secret.

Especially from her mom.

Dad, when you got married to Aunt Li,

you didn't worry her illness might relapse?

If I say I wasn't, I'd be lying.

But being with her everyday

makes me happy. That's most important.

But, you knew all along about Lili's hereditary history.

You don't mind one bit?

Lili is Aunt Li's daughter.

I love her like I love you. Why would I mind?

When you love someone, you love everything about them.

Qianren, wait until the day you sincerely fall in love.

You'll experience the same feeling.

Dad, I want to discuss something with you.

I want to take care of Lili.

As more than siblings.

I want to take care of her for the rest of my life.

If you sincerely and truly mean that,

I support you.

Thank you, dad.

Mom.

It's been a long time since I slept under the same blanket as you.

I miss the time when I would make my way into your covers everyday.

You're so old and still acting spoiled.

Mom.

Do you remember right after dad died

every night you would sit by my bed

and lull me to sleep?

Sometimes, when you thought I was asleep,

you would break down and secretly cry.

How did you make it through then?

When your dad passed,

I felt like the sky would collapse.

When your father was alive, I couldn't even cook.

Let alone change a light bulb or fix the water heater.

Many times, I thought

about leaving with your father.

But looking at you, I absolutely couldn't leave you.

I could only carry on making you food, washing your clothes,

watch you laugh, watch you cry.

And life went on like that.

Sometimes, I think that old saying makes a lot of sense.

Between husband and wife, the first one to leave

suffers less.

And the one left behind, every day, every month,

lives in suffering.

I'll be with you a lifetime, we'll never be apart.

Whether we go to heaven or hell,

I will always be with you.

If I make him watch me

slowly walking towards death, what will

Pei Shangxuan's life become?

Anyway, luckily,

I met Uncle Liu.

Unlce Liu is a good person.

Yes. During the most difficult time of my life,

meeting your Uncle Liu

used all my life's luck.

But I'm most grateful for the change in Qianren.

When I got sick this time, he not only found a specialist

but brought me medicine. While doing so many nice things,

he never brought it up once.

He's really a good kid.

Lili, in the future you have to repay

Uncle Liu and Brother Qianran.

Li Jun was just here.

She dropped those off and left

not long ago.

Jun

Hello? Jun. You came by.

I returned all the stuff you gave me.

Since we're over, there's no need to keep them.

I've returned them to you, cut things off cleanly.

I won't take back the things I gave you.

Keep them as souvenirs.

If you really don't want them,

throw them away.

Why don't you throw them out yourself?

Also, throw out that necklace I gave you.

Where did you go, young man?

I thought that you went missing, I almost

cancelled all your afternoon appointments.

Da Wei, those advertisements have lost their meaning.

I've decided to go to Korea and experience some more.

Really? That's great!

Could you please immediately prepare the plane tickets and the contract,

before I regret this.

I'll go do it now!

Dating me, won't it be hard?

Of course not.

This is so thrilling!

I shall wear the "Golden Hoop" (used in the novel "Journey to the West" to keep the Monkey King under control)

so that I'll think about my girlfriend everywhere and at any time.

At least you know.

This is the string pulling the kite.

When you see it, you'll think of its owner.

Let me put it on for you. -Okay.

I'm done.

Everything has ended. Good bye.

I worked so hard to get here

I never thought, before accomplishing anything,

I have to leave.

Lili, your newest design plan received great customer reviews.

First, recover.

The future is full of possibilities.

You don't need to console me.

I know my situation.

I've already contacted the best hospital in Beijing.

They're researching a new form of treatment.

If you can't recover,

they might at least extend your life

until the medicine is more advanced.

You can turn this around.

Why are you wasting your energy on someone who's going to die?

I just want to leave quietly.

Those pointless hopes can only bring me and my loved ones

even more suffering.

I don't want you to die.

We're a family.

Not just me, your mom and my dad.

Especially your mom.

Do you plan to keep hiding the truth from her?

Then one day, we suddenly tell her you're gone.

Tell her there was a chance you could have survived.
