More than Teresa Teng

Let me see

How's the big, wide world?

Pretty good

Come on, tell me about it

Everyone's busy all day

Zhang Jun!

You're back!

How are you doing?

How's southern food?

Okay... the food here's better

Zhong Ping!

Can I hear it?

How do you open it?

Careful, don't break it!

The sandstorm blows, but we sing on

We friends have no cares

n the world

Our cattle and horses are strong

We sit proud in the saddle

We warm the world with our light!

Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan

Nothing can stop me,

know where I'm going...

An electric alarm might be better

It's not to keep out villains

Who's a villain?

We had a thief once

He must have been hungry,

he took two eggs

It takes all sorts

It's so hot!

Where is happiness?

Cui Mingliang, what's upset you?

Who says I'm upset?

Yin Ruijuan

- What did she say?

- She says you're sick

Why doesn't she tell me?

She doesn't dare

- Why not?

- Because you're sick!

Can't you act normal?

I'm normal enough

Calm down and talk to me!

Anyhow, she's a girl

- It's useless

- Idiot!

Talk to her then

You've upset her, don't you care?

Hi, Uncle!

- Visiting?

- A washing machine?

- Just bought it

- We'll bring our washing over!

Seize the moment, talk to her

In all this time, I've never really

thought of you as my boyfriend

I was taken aback

when you brought it up the other day

You didn't notice

I've been thinking

I feel... we're not a good match

And my dad doesn't like you

I didn't dare to tell you before

Of course,

Dad's not the main problem

It's me who feels

we're not a good match

Incompatible

We can still see each other...

You're right,

but you know what's wrong?

You're saying it too late

Cui Mingliang...

us 27 to Songjiachuan...

...is ready to depart

Wen isn't stupid, is he?

He made his own TV in two days

Why is ours taking so long?

No money this month,

I bought a guitar

What's up?

Cui Wanlin, come inside!

What is it?

I'll say this in front of our sons

You took that from my bag?

Who did you buy this for?

Erbo wants it for his wife

You never buy anything for us

on your trips!

But you never forget that b*tch!

Mum, let him explain

I won't listen

It's not your business

Father, I'm 24,

I know as much as you do

- Are you rebelling?

- What if I am?

have a little secret

want to tell you

t's something buried in my heart

Here it comes!

Don't miss!

Let's leave

How can I face them?

Scared?

If you are, let's leave

Let's talk it over with our parents

Be serious

Chief, you were stationed here?

That's right, I was here for years

Close by, in a place

for all of us lot from the city

It's not bad here

Yes, quite prosperous,
