Kwai, off work now.
Yes.
See you.
Did you buy today's paper?
No, I didn't go out
Sister... Mom...
Sister...
Auntie... Why are you so late?
Dad just came back from mainland. We waited for him.
Where's On? There...
Sister... Why 're you so late?
Those mainlanders are so troublesome.
You got to watch them
all the time.
Bro, we have been waiting for you. Let's play mahjong.
Why don't you play? Not now.
They just asked me. Enjoy yourself.
We got to wait
Until they finished playing?
Mom, leave them.
They seldom have holidays!
Let's get the dinner started.
Are you hungry? Well, no...
Mom, we're holding a birthday party for you.
Just shut up and eat.
Gamo...
Sister,
please play for me.
Is Yiu sick? She looks pale.
She got a stomachache.
She hasn't eaten anything yet.
Right
Ask On to visit us when he's free.
It's also summer holidays for Yee.
He won't come.
Is it really hard to find a summer job?
It's hard to find a full time job,
let alone a summer job.
He is lazy.
When will you return to New York?
Maybe next month... what?
You just came back for grandma's birthday?
No, I see my friends too.
You don't have to.
Since you come back all the time.
No
last time I came back is for Easter.
Cousin, do you know what?
Last time I came back is for Christmas last year!
You guys come back so often when studying abroad.
Really... Not this one.
Nine tiles... Mahjong!
Great. You sure are lucky.
How much?
3 folds. The loser pays 16. We pay 8.
16... Great...
This is for you...
Self touch! 4 folds. 32 everyone...
What the heck...
You should take apart this one...
Thank you.
How much should I pay?
No need!
No, I got to pay since I lost.
No, you just played for her.
Okay.
Did I win?
Sister lost a round just now.
Really? Take this back. No!
Never mind, your own sis.
This is wrong!
$10 of beef please. Okay...
That is black. Give me another.
Let's have breakfast out?
No!
Didn't you say you wanted to eat out?
All alone. What for?
What is this? They give this when you buy a paper.
There're no good programs on Sundays
Then read the paper.
Where is the entertainment page? Find it yourself!
Granny, you want to buy a durian? No...
Are you employing people?
Wait... Manager, manager...
Someone is looking for you.
Can I help you?
Are you looking for a worker here?
Do you have any experience?
I used to sell vegetables.
We use electric weights here.
But it is easy.
Just put in the required amount,
And measure.
It is simple. Try yourself.
This is Ling. She can help you.
Granny... You are...?
Everybody calls me Kwai.
Kwai!
Off work? Yes.
Which floor? I can myself, thanks!
You are new here? Yes.
Bye!
Mom, I'm going to see a friend tomorrow.
What for?
Nothing. I am bored at home.
What are we having? Cabbage!
1 million, 2 million, it's the same.
16, is it 18?
Have you played b-box?
B-box...? Z zz, that's b-box.
Just sit back and shut up!
I will win soon.
Go that way!
Hey, that is not the right way to go!
I don't know what I am talking about!
7 tiles...
I have been waiting for you, 7 tiles.
Did he call you?
How come you missed me again?
He's trying to distract you, It's your turn. Quick!
Will you go to our Graduation Dinner?
No, Blowfish,
it's boring and expensive!
Right, Miss Tsui isn't going. No one to talk to you.
She is not our class mistress.
Pity she wasn't assigned.
Mr Cheung is such a fool
and ill all the time.
We have no choice.
Miss Tsui asked you to visit her when you are free.
Did you see her?
I met her on the bus. She said she wanted to see you.
Do you know what is it? No!
Blowfish, not playing mahjong?
He doesn't, he's a Christian.
How do you know? I learned from our bible teacher Zidane.
Why do you call Mr Wong Zidane?
Since he got the same disease as Zidane.
Disease? What kind of disease?
Zidane, the football player.
He is bald.
I got it!
On, are you a Christian?
Don't you want to play?
You have 4 already.
My place.
No, I go for video games!
Leave him alone. Play yourself!
Is it my turn? 4 circles.
Granny... Kwai...
Buying oil? Yes...
What is it?
It's 3 a pack,
too much for me.
Maybe we can share together. I'll take 2.
Good. It takes so long for me to finish a pack.
Kwai, off work now?
Yes. When will you be off duty?
10 o'clock...
How much? $104
Let me pay...
Granny, let me pay.
This is for you. My share...
Take it back.
Viagra, it's your turn!
My turn... 7 circles...
19 tiles. Count it.
I got to go home for dinner.
Me too.
Wait until we finish. I will win soon.
Me too... I am gonna win!
Have to go now. Bye!
It's a 1 circle... See you!
Want it?
No... continue then.
Be quick... Don't be that slow!
Will you go to the fellowship meeting?
Why?
Haven't been there since the exams.
You go there often,
but I've never been there.
But you are free. You can see our teachers,
And your Miss Tsui too. I'd rather not.
Come chase me!
Hello, I am a fellowship staff. My name is Candy.
Let's get to know each other.
I am Yuan. I study in 3A.
How do you...
want us to call you?
My family calls me Kei. Okay, Kei.
I study in 6B. My family calls me Kit Wai.
My name is Lee.
Kit Wai...
I am Ng from 3C.
You may call me Ting.
My name is Lam, from 4E. My family calls me Mei.
I am Cheung Ka On. How does your family call you?
They call me Cheung Ka On. We call you Ka On then!
Our topic today is "love and hate in the family".
I will give you each a piece of paper.
Please draw a tree to represent your family.
Such as your parents,
brothers and sisters.
You are represented by the tree trunk.
Show your relationship
with your family members by distance.
For example if your dad is at the tip of a branch.
It means
you keep your distance from him.
If the branch is short, that means you have a closer relationship.
I want you to know
your relationship with your family.
Who is the closest to you?
Who keeps the biggest distance?
And are there...
ways to make you closer.
There are some topics about family in the bible.
Let's turn to
James Chapter 1, Section 19.
'You should be quick to listen,
slow to speak and slow to anger".
Sometimes we are slow to listen,
quick to speak and quick to become angry.
Which may end up in conflicts with our family.
There are four sentences
which you hear your family say often.
I will give you a second
to think of your response...
Kit Wai,
you start first!
What will you say if your mother
asks you to finish your homework?
I will tell her it's almost finished,
let me watch this TV show first.
What if she asks you to wear some clothes?
I will listen to her.
What if she asks you to come home earlier?
I will tell her
I will come home before 10:30.
What if she asks you not to talk on the phone?
I will tell the friend
I will call him later.
And now... it's Kei's turn.
If your mother asks you
to do your homework,
What would you say?
I would say... darn!
My mom never asks me to finish my homework,
Since I finish my homework before I watch TV.
My mom never asks me to wear more clothes,
Since I'm the one who does the asking.
And I neither loiter out at night nor...
make long phone calls.
Ka On, please share with us! Okay.
What if your mom asks you
to finish your homework?
Okay.
Asks you to wear clothes? Okay.
Asks you to come home earlier? Okay.
Asks you not to chat on the phone? Okay.
Lord,
thank you for giving us this meeting,
after a week of study.
We understand
it's difficult to avoid conflict with our family.
But please give us power and wisdom,
to solve all our problems
with our family.
In the name of the father
and of the son and of the Holy spirit.
Amen.
Okay, enjoy.
Don't be shy. Enjoy the food.
I hate my mom.
She asks me to do all the housework.
What is
your reaction then?
I will say "darn". Do it yourself.
You should talk to her
and share your feelings.
Share? She is busy working
and playing mahjong.
How about On? Does your mother have a job?
She works in a supermarket.
Is it hard for her to cook
after work?
No!
How is your relationship? No problem!
Is your mom fierce?
Does she punish you a lot?
She is just a normal person.
How about your father? He died!
How is your school cert. Results?
I am not the marker.
I heard that the questions are difficult this year.
Really? Will it become more difficult in my year?
Don't be scared.
You still got two years to prepare.
But I have tried all past questions already.
Don't want a drink? No. I got to leave.
That quick? Eat something!
No. I got to go. Bye!
Bye!
Cheung Ka On! What?
Help me to put away the clothes.
Have you bought today's paper?
Why don't you buy it?
Nobody buys a morning paper this late.
Where have you been today? School?
To church. Kept asking me stupid questions.
Why didn't you chat with Miss Tsui?
I didn't see her.
Is she pretty?
Don't fold this. Got to wear tomorrow.
Okay...
Oriental, please.
Yes... Yes, granny.
Can you give me a cheaper price for this?
I can give you another $50 discount.
$ 50... Do I have to pay for delivery?
$ 70. That expensive?
I have already given you a discount.
Granny! Kwai
Have a look.
Want to buy something? No, it's so expensive.
How much? $ 830
That's not bad.
But $ 70 for delivery.
That's tough. But you can take it yourself.
Let me help you... No, it is heavy.
Not at all. May I use your phone?
Sure... Thank you.
Cheung Ka On? Come to the electric appliance store.
Thank you. Be careful.
Thank you.
Come on... Mom...
Help granny carry this.
Such a handsome boy. Thank you.
You okay? Thank you!
He can do it.
Can you manage?
You don't have to
tune the English channel.
Yes.
Thanks On. You are so helpful.
It's okay for youngsters to sweat a bit.
I must treat you to dinner.
No, look, I've bought food.
You can still have a cup of tea. I'll boil some water.
Please don't bother.
Why did you turn a torch light on?
The bulb has gone off for a week already.
Cheung Ka On, Go buy a light bulb.
Okay?
Where is the tissue? What tissue?
Free gift with the newspaper.
There isn't any free gift.
Did you buy it at the news stand? Yes.
You should buy at the convenience store.
It comes with a plastic bag.
The stall downstairs is so mean. Really?
It's difficult to open. I can't do it.
How hard can that be?
Use gloves.
Here...
Here... a big one.
It's good!
Yummy!
Auntie... she left already... Yes...
Let me tell her.
Bed 18, 4/F, Block E. Okay.
$21.20 Can you open that?
Sure. Thank you.
Mom...
Thank you!
Grandma was sent to hospital!
Again? When was this?
This morning.
It's not serious? I don't know.
I can't visit her now. Yes.
You go home first. Yes.
On! Cousin.
We can't go in now. The nurse is busy.
Let's wait a bit. Your mom is working?
Did second auntie call you this morning?
Yes, where is she now?
She went back to Shatin to bring Granny's stuff.
Isn't she living with you?
Last week she went to second uncle's. Oh.
We can go in now.
Grandma... Grandma...
I brought you apples.
I feel bad.
You can't breathe? I feel choked!
No apples then, first we lift up your pillow.
Yes...
Be careful. Do you feel better now?
Much better.
Didn't the doctor give you pills?
It's useless.
Of course. You didn't take the medicine, ate crap,
And refuse to eat hospital food.
It has the smell of medicine.
Maybe I ask mom to make you
some fish congee.
Only with fish?
What do you want then? You want to have abalone congee?
Bird's nest! Okay, bird's nest then!
Has big uncle come? Not yet.
Auntie said she would bring back your things.
Really? Yes
Kwai... Kwai...
Granny... I've been looking for you.
What?
Here, mushrooms, bought at a special store.
Why? What happened?
Thank you for
helping me carry the TV.
No trouble at all. Please don't bother.
This pack is new.
I bought it this New Year.
Keep it for yourself!
I can't eat that much!
I might die before I finish.
Take it and share it with Mr Cheung and On.
My husband died. You don't have to.
Please take it.
I have been to the hospital.
Really? Is she okay?
I believe so.
Were the aunts there?
Yes, they came soon after us.
Will you see grandma tomorrow?
No,
you don't need so many people milling around.
Sing, I am not going. I am busy today.
I really can't. Okay, bye!
Let me take this. Okay.
What is it?
Fish congee. She said hospital food sucks.
She won't eat it. She is really difficult.
Is she? You just learnt that?
Grandma...
You're late?
Late? Visiting hours just started.
Can't you come earlier?
No, the nurses won't let us in.
Grandma, have some congee.
Thank you.
You don't have to be polite. We're family. Right?
What is it? Fish congee.
Didn't you say it's bird's nest congee?
I was afraid that people might be jealous.
I will make you some when you get home, okay?
Have you eaten? No.
Go have something to eat.
Are you hungry?
We are not hungry. How can we eat so early?
You eat first!
Bones. Here comes the tissue!
Okay. You handle that. Thank you!
Which grade is On now?
He will graduate this year.
Really? When will you get the results?
Oh,
I can't remember dates.
Your grandson will graduate this year too?
Yes, I wonder what his result is.
Relax. They can think for themselves.
But he is not as good as On.
I am afraid he will turn bad!
If he doesn't have a good result, he can find a job.
She asked us to leave, but if we really did,
She'd be mad.
So we mustn't leave until time's up.
I will take a bus. Where are you going?
Home. Here...
Coming to dinner with us? Okay.
I'll ask the maid to cook. I'll buy newspapers first,
Your share.
Could you ask On
when he will get the exam results?
If you are worrying,
why don't you ask your grandson?
I don't want to trouble anyone!
Mrs Law?
I am Mr. Law's ex-mother-in law...
I am looking for Kit.
Has he come home?
He has got a summer job?
How about Mr. Law? He's not in?
Nothing then. Just asking...
Sorry. Bye.
Grandma What is that?
I don't know. Big Aunt cooked it.
Where is Yee? She is having her university interview today.
There's bird's nest in it.
Where is your mum? Gone to work.
Did she say she'd come this week? I don't know!
Do you visit your grandpa and grandma often?
Sometimes!
Just spend some time with them.
And be a good boy, your mother will be happy.
She is happy already!
She is such a fool
and knows only how to work.
She was a trainee at 14.
Lived in a wooden-slab room with her brother.
Mice everywhere.
And she paid for your big uncle's education.
After he had graduated,
she took care of your little uncle.
Even after she got married, she still gave us money.
Your dad never spoke a word
and gave his share.
Don't talk now. Eat something, grandma.
The examination result will be announced on August 7.
That's a month from now.
Which school does your grandson study?
Baptist Lui Ming Choi Secondary School. In Shatin.
How do you know that?
My second brother lives in Shatin.
$ 50 can draw once.
Have we bought enough?
$ 53.40 We can draw then!
We won't win. You try!
I can't see well. Let me take your things.
Hello! Madam.
Madam, please make a turn.
Oh sorry! No prize.
Try it next time. Thank you!
Get it? I can't win.
What do you do during the holidays?
Nothing special.
Why don't you come to our gatherings?
I don't believe in God.
Did we make you unhappy last time?
What?
You said your father died... So?
I am afraid you didn't like my mentioning.
I'm fine.
I have arrived. You live here?
Yes. Bye. Bye.
Big mushroom! Careful, it's hot...
It is great.
Why doesn't Granny eat it?
She bought it for her grandson. But they refused to have it.
Granny said she couldn't eat it all.
How did you know that?
Of course I do. I see her everyday.
Thank you.
Cousin, when did it happen?
Where? World Funeral Home...
Sure. Call the others.
Some people sleep early. Okay, bye.
Should I throw this away?
Where did you find that? In the drawer.
It belonged to your dad. Can't you wear it?
It's too tight! Throw it away then.
Put it out there. The garbage lady'll pick it up.
Was dad that skinny?
He loved to
squeeze into very tight pants.
Give me...
Here comes Second Uncle...
Sister... Sister...
Big auntie.
Uncle, auntie...
Yung and Chun are coming.
Big auntie, uncle, auntie.
Everyone's here. Let's go upstairs.
Do we need a flower plate?
I have one sent. Okay then.
Brother, did you come in the car with Yung?
Yes, in the van. Where did you park your car?
In the car park behind.
Is there a car park there? Yes.
And I parked my car miles away!
The Chung family! Here.
Guests have come... please come forward.
Stay... First bow, second bow, and third bow.
Thanks from the family.
You don't have to bend it on the sides.
It's just the same. Aren't they?
For the ancestors you don't bend, is there a difference?
This is what my mom taught me.
But my mom didn't tell me.
Just don't bend it then.
What?
When will aunt leave the hospital?
I can't tell.
She said she couldn't breath.
When will you see the doctor again?
I haven't met the doctor. The others did.
Is your husband okay?
Just the same.
Thanks God he's still with us.
Is there anyone taking care of him?
Everyone got to work. Who can afford the time?
Why don't you
send him to an elderly center?
Do you think they will accept him?
What if he suddenly jumps from the roof?
I am scared myself.
But I got no choice, he is my husband.
Our cousin is having exams now!
Yes. Right.
Pray to our dead aunt to assist him!
You're nuts!
Your T-shirt is crumpled! Is it?
Her maid is lousey folding clothes.
How did you know that?
I saw her doing it.
Your maid is stupid,
Are you don't fold your clothes? Yes.
Please stay... First bow, second bow, and third bow.
Thanks from the family.
Cousin, we have to leave. Thanks for coming.
Thank you, Kwai.
You are so kind. You too.
On, you are so kind.
Auntie will bless you.
You are such a good boy.
Thank you everyone. Take care.
Thank you... We have to leave.
Haven't seen cousin for ages,
he can still remember the young ones.
Yes, he can remember all their names.
Haven't met for 10 years already? Almost!
How could he forget?
We're family.
Shall we eat something?
Let's eat outside. Don't cook tonight.
Let's eat outside! Okay.
Mom, what should I call your cousin?
Your aunt.
Does her husband love jumping off the roof?
He is weird.
His son and daughter are professionals.
They earn thousands per month.
Don't knows if it is gambling that makes him crazy,
he said he had lost everything, got to die.
Does he lose a lot?
Even so his children will pay for him.
How much can an old fogey lose?
Where should I put it?
In the fridge. Throw away the plastic bag first.
Has your mom left the hospital? Not yet.
Are you going to Shatin this week? Yes.
Let me go with you!
You don't have to. Go and visit your mom!
She got so many people
to visit her already.
I'll go with you. Thanks a lot.
I won't lose my way then.
You are so welcome!
Buy a pack of eggs first.
You're buying eggs again?
You can cook
a lot of dishes with eggs.
Awesome. I know only fry eggs.
When I was little we were poor.
My mom fried everything with eggs.
This pack seems bigger. Bigger?
Yes, look!
This pack then.
I will go Shatin with Granny this week.
For what? Visit his grandson.
Why don't her relatives live with her?
Her only daughter died few years ago.
Got a grandson only.
He is living with
her son-in-law's new wife.
Ah! Yesterday's pigeon, I almost forgot that.
Um...
This one... Do you like it? It's the latest design.
It looks great. I want to look at some rings.
Are you giving it as a gift?
A gift.
See if you like it. Okay.
Phone call.
Ah Yiu. Cheung Ka On told me already.
Which university is she choosing?
Me? I'd like Hong Kong University.
But they got to choose themselves.
I'm not going.
I got to go to Shatin.
That early this year?
Buy me 3 mooncake coupons please. Bye.
When will we give grandpa the mooncakes?
It's too early to talk about that.
Beef balls please.
Mr. Law, have some beef ball!
Have some tea. Thank you!
You eat first. You got to work later.
Help yourselves.
Why doesn't Kit come?
He is having a summer job.
What kind of job?
He sells handbags
and backpacks with his friends.
How about Mrs. Law then?
She is not coming. Don't mind her...
I bought this gold chain for Kit.
This pair of rings is for you and your wife.
Mom, I can't take it.
I feel bad if you don't.
I have done
nothing for my grandson.
I really hope that I can do something for him before I die.
I'm glad your wife is willing to take care of Kit. Please...
Kit is my own son.
She has no choice.
You know how women are...
And her mom is ill recently.
May die at anytime.
As a son-in-law, I got to stay with her.
I go to work now. Let me pay.
Please don't... Let us pay.
You stay a little longer. Bye.
I chose a ring
and chain for you and On too.
Whatever my son-in-law refused is all yours now.
I take it for now.
If you need anything,
I will handle it for you.
I will bless On even
after my death.
Mom... Grandma...
You are here at last.
I don't want to
disturb the nurses.
How can you disturb them!
Did Yiu cook congee for you today?
How do you know that?
Mom,
you have bird's nest congee everyday.
How do you know that?
Of course I do, I am your daughter?
Your aunt found her eldest daughter a few weeks ago.
Yung has told me.
It's difficult.
They haven't met for decades.
She can't even remember her mother's name.
Well, things might change...
They didn't get along and the daughter flew back to Taiwan.
Lift's hard. How hard can it be?
What are you doing? Mopping.
Just use a cloth
and give it a wipe.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? You should know better!
On, finished mopping? Yes!
Buy me 2 salted eggs. Okay.
Big uncle. On.
Just mopped the floor? Yes!
That fast. Where were you when we were on the phone?
North Bridge. Staying for dinner?
No, have to meet someone in a restaurant.
Mooncake coupons. How much?
I don't know. Yiu didn't tell me. It's ok.
No, I'll ask her later.
Will you go home before you go to the restaurant?
I have to leave now.
Let me come with you. You don't have to.
Are you worried that I will lose my way?
I have to buy some salt eggs. Yes.
Okay. Bye!
How is your exam result? I don't know!
Think you can make Form 6?
I'll find a job if I can't.
If you can't, Big Uncle will pay for you studies abroad.
What? You don't have to worry about money.
I will handle this
with your little uncle.
I believe there is no big problem,
On. Miss Tsui.
What are you looking for?
Salt eggs... Come along!
May I ask for your favor? What is it?
Can you help in the counseling department next term?
I'm not even sure I'll be back!
You will have good results. I have competitors.
I am sure you'll be back.
I can't. I can't help,
I need counseling myself.
You are mature and you know how to control your feelings.
Of course, I got nothing to provoke me.
It's impossible
to have no problems in life.
It's how you face them.
Some treat examinations as nothing.
But some commit suicide if they fail.
They have gone too far!
Come to the counseling department next year.
You like apples?
No, but my grandma does.
Thank you. Thank you!
A gift from your uncle, Chiu Chow mooncakes are great.
It's great. One more.
This is no good... Give it here.
Mom. I'm not coming.
I don't want them to drive us back.
Celebrate the Moon Festival yourselves.
I've brought mooncakes
to your place.
Don't put it away.
Can you see it? Great...
On loves mushrooms. Buy some.
Okay, have a look!
I want some mushrooms. Take a look.
Is it okay? Let's see...
They're big! Right.
Have we got everything?
We left the mooncakes... Right!
Is it heavy? No, I'm alright.
Where is the newspapers? Here.
I thought
we left it somewhere.
Counseling department? How come he hasn't finished still?
He said today is family and teacher's day.
He should come home earlier to celebrate.
Let's play wax explosions tonight?
I have a date with Wah playing mahjong.
You have enough people?
Yes, Sing has asked his "mate" to come.
A "mate" is for serving us tea and cakes.
Just like you!
On? Back home for dinner.
Such a good boy!
With who? My mom...
And yours...
Let's go altogether. I will call my mom!
Come on. Lay the table first.
Let me help you.
Sit, let young men do the tough work.
He is fast. Give granny a slice.
Yours... Thank you!
So sweet... Is it?
Mind the pits.
Juicy too.
