For Raymond Tsai's funeral.

How did you know that?

If it's get too much, come and see me.

My door is always open.

Thank you.

Do you like this?

- Thank you, Aunt.

- Tomorrow, I am going to the market.

I can get whatever you like,

they must be in to the Chinese food.

- Or are you already sick of it?

- No, this is great.

We are fine, do not worry about us.

Of course, I'm worry with your uncle...

if I did not worry

we would be living in the street.

- Do you like it? Want something else??

- Please Sammy tries.

You know the rule, you have

to at least try it once.

- She wants to know if you like duck.

- He loves duck.

You don't speak Chinese?

He speaks a few words.

All time time in Shanghai,

and he does not speak Chinese.

He goes to the international academy,

it is a excellent school,

and we wanted him to have good language

skill when were we return back home.

I see.

- This is delicious.

- The spice is delicious.

Are you well?

I am fine.

My head, I'll right back.

- Are you all right, mommy?

- I am fine, he just eat.

- What wrong with her?

- Sometimes, she has migraines.

I am going to check on her.

You mother is fine,

eats your food.

Do you want to know a secret?

There's ice cream for the dessert.

- God dame it, I can't get a signal here.

- This is bizzare,

I not just feel nausea,

it's the food...

it was moving.

- Get some sleep.

- This whole place feel weird.

It is creepy.

Can you feel it?

What's weird is being in my old room,

- with a girl in my bed.

- Your aunt may hasn't changed.

Itstill can't stand me.

- That is not true.

- Please, you heard that one.

All these years in Shanghai,

and he still cannot speak Chinese.

She kind got a point.

You said that we would be in

China for a year, two at most.

We agree that the English school made sense.

You did not want him coming back

with a lousy language skill.

Did you remember? Sarah

What's the God damn point,

you do noteven care if we come back.

Hey, easy.

Baby, I'm sorry.

I know that it has been tough, the

Shanghai's office is almost ready.

And we;ll come home soon, I promise.

Do you trust me?

Why do they callUncle Raymond

the bones'collector?

Back in the days, he was task to take the bones of

Chinese for re-bury.

Why?

Another old superstition.

They believe that unless you bones are

buried near the ancestors,

your spirit will rest.

Is it just the bones?

Yes.

After seven years he dig them up,

clean them,

doing the whole ceremony

together with the Uncle Xiang.

Why you never tell me any of this?

It happened before I was born.

They were never talking much about that.

something a history.

- we all have our skeletons.
