Just think as if you are going

to tune a very big piano

Do you know how much I charge

for tuning an ordinary piano?

I will double the pay

How about my mom?

We have arranged quarters

for your mom, on the Bund

The Bund is good, beautiful scenery

But grocery shopping...

is a bit inconvenient

If she could have a small sedan,

that would...

Understood

Let's sign a contract

Why are you staring at me?

Who stares at you? I am blind

Close your eyes I

can't see anyway

what difference does it make?

Close your eyes

Oh...

What do you see when

you close your eyes?

What did you say?

Nothing, I was just asking

Did you hear something just now?

When you slept, you didn't snore,

you didn't talk

your heartbeat was slow,

so was your breathing

but your hands and

feet were strained

as if someone were to touch you,

you'd kill him at once

Then why did you ask me

what I'd see with my eyes closed?

Let me open my eyes, then I'll tell you

OK:

When I close my eyes

I'd think of unhappy past events

Then you should sleep with

your eyes wide open

How is it possible?

I'd try to think of good things

Such as?

The good things I remember

all happened before I became blind

Things happened in my childhood

were all good things

What if there are

sad parts in the good things?

Just remembering

the good parts will do

Is it that simple?

It is that simple

What are you smiling at?

I am thinking of the day

you fell from the tree

Your must remember...

the part where your peeped

at Chun Jiao's bath, right?

Did my mom tell you that?

Blindfold him No

need, he cannot see

So many sentries...

Are we arriving soon?

Didn't you say he couldn't see?

Relax, he just hears it

And there are many cars

200, what is it?

Why isn't he blindfolded?

He cannot see

Don't talk nonsense

OK:

Aren't you supposed to

fetch the tuner Luo?

Why is this man here?

Sir

You dropped your cigarette

Director

Thanks

The examination will

start right away

How long do we have

to wait here?

What do you want?

I am hungry

Where is the exit?

What are you doing?

They are calling

Let's go

If you hear this broadcast,

leave from the right exit

If you hear this broadcast,

leave from the right exit

It was an ultra-low

frequency recording

we ordinary people cannot

hear that frequency

I have studied his file,

he is illiterate

Yes You can help him

in the next test OK

Are you hungry?

You didn't say there'd be a test

Are you scared?

Yeah... I am afraid to scare you

Ladies and gentlemen,

please put on your earphones

I don't need to,

just put it there

Let's start

Question no. 1

In the recording just now...

what did the woman next to

the bus say?

Damn it
