Coming Home Page #4

Go. I'll wait here.

Who is it?

Mother.

What is it?

I have a photograph of Father.

A photograph of your father?

You kept it?

So you do have a heart.

You never really saw him.

Come here.

This...

This is me.

Who is this?

This is Wei.

Wei.

And this is Zhen, your old classmate.

Mother. Who's this?

This is...

This is Lu.

Your father.

This is your father.

Look, it's your father.

Take a good look.

Mother, you were so pretty.

Father was dashing, too.

He's coming back.

He's coming home.

- He's already back.

- The 5th... He comes back on the 5th.

Mother. Who is this?

Yu.

Yu.

He looks familiar...

- Who is he?

- Lu.

Lu.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Dandan.

Don't ever bring a stranger

into my home again.

Do you hear me?

You can't have this photo.

I can't have you

cutting your father out again.

You and your scissors.

Dandan. I'm telling you,

the things that you did,

I'll never forgive you.

Never.

Now go. Go. Just go.

Did you see that?

She gets mad at me over every little thing.

Dandan.

Your mother is not well.

You have to be more understanding.

I just don't get it.

She forgets everything,

but remembers all my faults.

I don't remember the make.

I've forgotten.

It hasn't been played for a while.

I'd like someone to tune it.

There's no one?

When can he come over?

It's quite urgent.

My husband is coming home soon

and he loves to play the piano.

PIANO TUNING HANDBOOK

Comrade, who are you looking for?

Is this Teacher Yu's residence?

Yes.

I'm the piano tuner.

Piano tuner?

Didn't you call for a piano tuner?

Oh, yes, I did. Come in.

Please come in.

This is the piano.

It's pretty old.

Hasn't been used for some time.

Yes, a very long time.

Comrade, can you tune it?

No problem.

Aren't you feeling well?

Is there anyone to take care of you?

- Do you have children?

- Yes.

She's a ballerina.

- She takes care of you?

- She's busy rehearsing.

She doesn't have time.

Can you get by on your own?

Yes, I'm used to it.

Who plays this piano?

My husband.

What does he do?

He's a professor.

He was sent to the Northwest.

But he's coming back soon.

Teacher Yu...

I heard those people have already returned.

They already came back.

No, on the 5th.

My husband wrote and said

he's returning on the 5th.

PICK UP LU ON THE 5TH.

You two have been apart too long.

Well...

I'm worried about your mother.

You should go back and live with her.

You know, since that day

you tried to come home

she can hardly look at me.

Since she got ill,

she won't let me in the door.

She doesn't know I quit dancing,

or where I live.

I'm so sorry about you two.

It's all my fault.

Not at all. I'm the one to blame.
