Aftershock Page #3

With only one hand...

He can carry a book but not a pen.

Or a pen but not a book.

I can take good care of Fang Da.

The teacher said he can enroll in school.

He can go to school in Jinan.

It's better than going to school in Tangshan.

Look at it here. When will the new buildings

be finished?

Yuan Ni. . .

How about this.

You...

and Fang Da. . .

Can both go to Jinan.

You can look for a job if you want.

If you don't want to work...

You can stay at home with your child.

Our family. . .

Won't let you two feel neglected.

I know you want to help me.

But I can't go anywhere.

Why are you so stubborn!

We're thinking about you.

You have to keep us in mind too.

Mom

Mom, don't worry.

Fang Da will be fine with me.

Later when our lives are better,

I'll take him to spend the holidays with you.

I came all the way here. . .

To bring him back with me.

Fang Da is all I have left.

If he leaves me,

Then this family...

Will be all gone.

My son should have left the army

to come back to Jinan.

He stayed in Tangshan to be with you.

Mom...

What are you saying?

I should have died instead of my son.

I'm sorry.

He was so tall.

He was so smart and strong.

He's gone just like that.

Now my grandson is crippled.

Of course I am concerned.

I can't stop worrying about him.

How can I go on living now?

Sorry.

I feel so guilty.

I feel terrible for Da Qiang.

And I feel terrible for Fang Deng and Fang Da.

I'm the only one who's fine.

I agree.

Take him. . .

Just as long as he'll be better off.

Okay.

We're all one family. . .

We shouldn't act like strangers.

So many terrible things have happened.

So many people have died.

We have to come together...

And think of our future.

At home...

All your belongings are gone.

Last time you sent us photographs,

I brought one back for you.

Sit tight

Hold on

Fang Da. . .

Do what your grandma tells you.

Don't misbehave.

Don't forget.

Mom.

Yeah.

Mom

Be good.

Mom

Be good.

Mom.

Mom,

By taking Fang Da from her. . .

It is like stealing Yuan Ni's life away.

Mom!

Fang Da!

Mom!

Let's go.

Wang, This is your daughter?

Yes.

She's very pretty.

- Say hi.

- What's your name?

Say hi.

Doctor Dong,

This is the girl who was brought

back from Tangshan.

Yes.

Let me see your face.

Do you look like your dad or mom?

Come on, let's eat.

What are you doing. . .

Scaring the child?

What's her name?

Ya Ya.

Say hi to your "uncle."

Go on.

You're impolite.

Here, men are called "uncles,"

And women are called "aunts."

Don't embarrass her.

Ya Ya,

Is a bit shy around new people.

Is that pretty?

Ya Ya, are you ready?

We need to go now.
