♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 18] [The Person who Stands in the Dim Light] What is it? I’ll be leaving home tomorrow for the competition. Let me tag along when you visit Ms. Jin Ning in the evening later.
Ms. Jin Ning has been transferred to the intensive care unit. They only allow four visiting hours per day. We can only see her through the window if we are to visit her in the evening. How long has it been like this? I met Sunian yesterday and had a long conversation with him.
Yet, he told me nothing about it. Sunian never wants to talk about Ms. Jin Ning’s sickness. Send him my greetings [Qiming High School] if you happen to run into him. You shall focus on the competition. You’ve spent a long time learning this, so you have to make us proud. Don’t worry.
I shall get going, then. What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to give me a high five and cheer me on? Break a leg. Don’t push yourself too hard. Take good care of yourself. You should cheer up too. Ms. Jin Ning will be fine. I’ve got to go. Stop pulling a long face.
[It takes 10 years of effort to sharpen a sword. Keep striving, seniors!] Are you all clear on that topic now? -Yes. -Yes. Those who didn’t get it can meet me after class. Okay. Class dismissed. Sunian, wait. I need to talk to you. Meet me at the office. Sir, I’m in a hurry.
Can we talk here? I know how sad you are, but you’re a senior now. You skip two classes a day. If your mom ever finds out about this, she won’t be able to rest well and recover. Sir, I’ve handed in all my homework, right? Yes, you have, but… I know what I’m doing.
Thanks for your concern, sir. [Class 3, Grade 12] Is he leaving early again? I thought he was a good boy and I didn’t have to discipline him. Only today, I’ve realized that I would never be able to discipline him. He’s too assertive. Forget it. None of us will feel motivated,
If we were in his shoes. [Intensive Care Unit] [Waiting Area] Is the visiting time over? Sunian. Did you skip your classes again? You can’t be doing this every day. If your mom finds out about this… Dad, I only want to see her. I want to see her, but not through the window.
Let me talk to the doctor later. See if he is able to extend the visiting hours. Can he do that? Let me try talking to him. Has mom complained about anything today? Of course, she has. What did she complain about? She said, “There is nothing I can eat.” Your mom
Has a lot of cravings. Anything else? There were a few times she woke up alone. She was a little scared. Anything else? She said that she missed us. Although we see her every day, she still feels like we spend a lot of time apart. Dad. Let’s bring mom home. It’s better for her
To stay here. It’s your turn. 35,800 yuan. 35,800 yuan. Sorry. I didn’t bring enough money. I’ll come back again. Sure. [Payment Counter] [Liuli Hutong] Shao. Zheng. -Come in. -Dongge. Come. -Here. -Did you just finish your dinner? You haven’t had yours yet, right? Let me cook you something. I’ll be right back.
I’ve taken my dinner. I ate something at the hospital. Then… Take a seat. Here’s some water. Zheng. If there’s anything you and Sunian would like to eat tomorrow, just let me know. I’ll cook them for you. It won’t take long. It’s fine. It’s very convenient to order takeout. Then…
Jin Ning has been transferred to the intensive care unit. She has to always follow the doctor’s orders. Can she get used to that? She won’t stop telling me that she wants to get discharged. Can you talk to her when you’re free? I’ll try talking to her. Is it busy at work recently?
It’s still the same at work. Don’t worry. Zheng… You came at the right time. I need to pass you something. This is a little something from all of us. It’s from the Restoration Division and the residents of the hutong. Zheng, you must accept this. You’re going to spend a lot
On Jin Ning’s medical bill. Then, I’ll accept this. I might need to trouble both of you to list down how much everyone contributed. In the future, I will return the money to them. You don’t have to worry about that. We want to help you. I insist. Please. Sure. I’ll write the names down.
You don’t have to send me out. My place is just right there. Zheng, let us know if you need any help. We’ve been friends for many years. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Sure. I appreciate that. I guess Zheng was here to borrow money,
But he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. I could tell. It must be really hard for him. Did you hear everything we said just now? You must not tell anyone about this, especially Sunian. What’s wrong? Why are you crying? I feel very sorry for Mr. Zheng.
I feel sorry for Ms. Jin Ning and Sunian too. It’s okay. It’s okay. [Duty Roster] Last but not least, let me conclude [“Retreating Figure” by Zhu Ziqing] the theme of this article. The author used simple language to describe the love a father had for his child. It’s full of emotion,
And is delicate, genuine, and moving. From an everyday event, -Hurry up. -we were able to see a father’s concern… -Why are you… -and care for his child. in such a hurry? They have extended the visiting hours for Ms. Jin Ning. I need to be there as soon as possible. All right. Class dismissed.
I hope you’re as keen on learning. Mr. Zheng. Xue. Ms. Jin Ning. Xue. You’re here to visit Ms. Jin Ning, right? You came at the right time. You can have a chat with Ms. Jin Ning. I’m going to get some water. [Quiet] Ms. Jin Ning. Xue,
It’s been a long time since I last saw you. I visited you a couple of times before, but you were sleeping every time I was here. Sunian told me you were always running errands every time you were here. You were either fetching me medicine or buying takeouts, and were always occupied.
Sunian is worn out. Since I have nothing else to do, I only try to help as much as I can. Yes. They are worn out. We finally meet. There are many things I want to give you. Do you still remember those boxes of mine? Ms. Jin Ning, I want nothing from you.
I only wish for your recovery. One day, I’ll be gone forever. I’m sure you’ll like what I’m going to give you, because you’re just like me. I’m reminded of my younger self every time I see you. That’s why I like you the most. I like you the most too, so Ms. Jin Ning,
You must hang in there. You haven’t taught me how to become someone like you. Don’t be someone like me. You’ll definitely be able to overtake me. Ms. Jin Ning, do you not want to talk to me anymore? Did you say this because you’re sick of me already? I had a very smooth life
Before this. I have Mr. Zheng, Sunian, and all of you by my side. God must be feeling jealous and want me to return to Him as soon as possible. Ms. Jin Ning, you’ll surely get better. You have to get better. Xue, can you do me a favor? I’m at your service.
Take out the thing under my pillow. This is a voice recorder I prepared for Sunian. I told Sunian I missed you, and he gave me this. Make sure don’t lose this. It carries things I want to say to Sunian. Ms. Jin Ning, whatever you want to tell Sunian,
You can tell him in person. Every time I see you, it feels as if joy has taken on human form. One day, when I’m gone, you have to share your joy with Sunian, and help him get over this. Give me your words. Please? Ms. Jin Ning. Ms. Jin Ning.
Ms. Jin Ning, what’s wrong? Ms. Jin Ning, are you all right? Xue. Can you be my accomplice? I’m ready to help. I’ve been wanting to eat cake. Can you buy me a piece? Sure. I’ll go buy you cake. I’ll be right back. Sure. Madam, do you sell cake here? Sorry.
We’re out of cakes. Thanks. Madam, do you have cakes? Sorry. We only sell bread. Thanks. Sir. Sir, I want to buy a cake. The baker has gotten off work. Is there something else you want? I only need a cake. I don’t mind the flavors and the pattern. It’s a matter of great importance
For me. I’m begging you. All right. Give me a moment. Thanks. [Peking Union Medical College Hospital] Zheng, eat it while it’s still warm. Dongge made this. Xue. It’s past visiting hours. Did you buy this cake for Ms. Jin Ning? What’s wrong with her? How could she make a kid buy her food?
Don’t worry about it. Xue, give it to me. Xue has received so many cakes from Ms. Jin Ning since she was a kid. Tell Jin Ning to live a long and healthy life. Xue has to pay her back. Do you think Ms. Jin Ning is still able to eat the cake?
I’ll show her the cake. I should have gotten here sooner. Don’t beat yourself up. Ms. Jin Ning is just making a fuss. In fact, she has completely lost her appetite. Xue. Xue. You should go home now lest your mom worries about you. I’ll stay here tonight to keep Mr. Zheng company.
It’s okay, Shao Hua. Go home with Xue. It’s late now. It’s not safe -for her to go home on her own. -You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already informed Dongge about this. No, but… She won’t worry about me. You don’t have to do that… It’s fine. We’re all worried about you.
I’m begging you. I simply want to stay with her alone. But… Zheng. You’re now the only responsible adult in the household. You need to eat more. Don’t fall sick. I won’t. Fine. I’ll get going. Thanks, Xue. Bye, Mr. Zheng. Bye. Let’s go. Zheng, just let me know if you need any help.
We’re all here for you. We’ll get going now. [Peking Union Medical College Hospital] Dad, I will go buy another cake for Ms. Jin Ning tomorrow. Sure. I’ll come along. Don’t worry. Sunian. Sunian. Mr. Shao. Sunian, did you just come from school? It’s past the visiting hours. I know. I just
Want to see my mom again. Go ahead. [Waiting area] Ning, I’m right here. Sunian is here too. Why do you look more ill than me? That’s not true. We’re doing very well. Sunian, from now on, I will become a star in the dark sky. I’ll be happy when you achieve something.
I’ll laugh at you when you make a mistake. Just look up into the sky when you miss me. Initially, I wanted to take a look at your smiling face, but I think that will be too hard for you. Good boy. Zheng. I’m right here. I’ll always be here. You are good at everything,
Except that you’re an introvert. Back then, I was always the one who socialized with others. From now on, you have to do it yourself. I’ll do it. I can do everything by myself, but I want you by my… I can only get those things done with you by my side. Zheng Jin.
I don’t want to leave you. Remember to come and meet me in your next life. In our next lives… We’ll surely be with each other again in our next lives. We’ll still be working at the Restoration Department. You’ll still ride a bike and bring me everywhere you go. You will…
You will buy me a new music box. I know how to fix it. I’ll fix it for you. Doesn’t it sound nice? Ning’er. Ning’er. ♪As I traverse this path without minding it♪ Ning’er. Open your eyes. The song is still playing. ♪My memory does all the hard work for me♪ ♪All the memories♪ Ning’er!

Ning’er, wake up! I can’t live without you. Ning’er, I can’t live without you. [Liuli Hutong] This hutong looks quite unique. Yes. Liuli Hutong has been here for some time. Yeah. This place is quite beautiful. Yes. [Funeral] It’s quite a beautiful place. Someone in this household passed away. That brings bad luck.
Sir, can you please hurry? -Please hurry. -Sure. It’s a pity that she died an untimely death. Yes, leaving her husband and son behind. What are they going to do in the future? The father and the son will have a tough time ahead. [Tears of remembrance] Jin Ning. If reincarnation is real, I’d like to take you as my apprentice again.
[In Remembrance of Ms. Jin Ning] Xue. Have you bought everything I told you to buy? They are right here. Mom, where is Sunian? He’s locked himself up in his room for days. You should go talk to him. Sunian, you shouldn’t stay here alone. Why don’t we go take a stroll outside? Sunian,
Is there anything you want to eat? Let me get them for you. Sunian, don’t hold back if you feel like crying. Don’t keep it all to yourself. Before Ms. Jin Ning passed away, she recorded a message for you in this voice recorder. You should check it out. I’ll leave you alone for now.
Just call my name when you need me. I’ll be right at your door. I’m not going anywhere else. Please don’t hate me. I’m very blessed to have you as my son. I heard people complimenting you every time I attended a parent’s meeting. They wanted to know how I raised you. Thinking back, I think Sometimes, I got upset with you I’m so ugly right now. I look terrifying. Since I was transferred to the intensive care unit, you must have thought that I was always asleep. In fact, I was always taking a peek at both of you when I was awake. I saw your dad, trying to hold back his tears. I saw you, How I look during this period. You should only remember how I looked back then. Can you do that? I want to see you go to college, get married, and have your own children. I’ll definitely collude with your wife to play a prank on you and your father. Sadly, I won’t be able to hang around until that day comes. Please cry as much as you want.
