Coming Home Page #3

Do you always stay at your dorm?

I visit her mornings and evenings.

Your mother's not well.

Why don't you live with her?

- She won't let me.

- Why not?

I need to get going.

Good morning, Teacher Yu.

Yu?

Wait in line, don't push, one at a time!

Get your tickets, don't push!

Mind your belongings!

Your food!

- Comrade, is this the train from Xining?

- Yes.

Comrade.

Are there any more passengers?

No.

Hi, Lu.

A letter for Yu.

You can give it to her.

Thank you.

Come in.

- Dandan.

- What's so urgent?

The letter I wrote to your mother

has just arrived.

Hurry and take it to her.

- It's already out-of-date.

- That's okay.

I only wrote that I'd arrive

on the 5th of the month.

I didn't specify which month.

I think, once she reads it,

she'll want to meet me at the station.

We must hurry.

Today is already the 4th.

What's your plan?

Mother.

Dandan.

What are you doing here?

A letter from Father.

Your father wrote me?

LU:

How did she get this disease?

Right now its causes

are still relatively unknown.

Physical injury,

psychological trauma, malnutrition

can all be factors.

She recognizes other people, why is that?

- How long since you've seen each other?

- 20 years.

- Has your appearance changed a lot?

- I suppose so.

That could be it.

Dr. Wang. Can she be cured?

There's not much we can do right now.

An article in a foreign journal mentioned

hypnotism, subliminal suggestion

and other psychological treatments.

But we don't have them in China.

- Maybe you can experiment yourself.

- How?

An English article I read

talked about a "Dj vu" effect.

Dj vu.

It means "already seen," right?

Yes. That is correct.

- It's French, isn't it?

-Yes.

- You speak French?

- Yes, a little.

The "Dj vu" theory suggests that,

through imagination,

the human brain can create

fictional memories.

When encountering

similar moments in real life,

the patient can subconsciously

activate the fictional memories

and make them seem real.

For example?

For example...

Places you have lived,

familiar locations,

movies you have seen,

music you have listened to,

letters,

books, old photos...

They may all be helpful.

There they are.

Come, put them here.

That's it. That's everything.

Who did all this?

It was me.

I heard she doesn't even recognize you.

Seems she's not getting any better.

Zhen.

Do you have any photographs

from when we were young

with me in them?

I think so.

Wait here. I'll look.

Thank you so much.

It wasn't easy to hold onto

this photo for so many years.

- I'll return it soon.

- No, you should keep it.

How is Wei?

He committed suicide.

Dandan.

Remember,

tell her it was you who kept this photo.
