Up The Yangtze

en
00:06:09 I used to work in the old city
00:06:16 I used a pushcart
00:06:18 from the boats
00:06:25 After the old city moved
00:06:29 they took down your old house,
00:06:33 I had to find a place on my own
00:06:35 so I built a hut
00:06:40 Right here where no one lives
00:06:54 There are dots in this one.
00:06:56 That doesn't look so good.
00:06:58 Let's move on.
00:07:09 I think my family is living
00:07:12 I think the downside would be
00:07:15 that the house we're living in
00:07:20 But the good side
00:07:24 Because I know
00:07:26 don't eat as well as we do.
00:07:45 I want to go to high school
00:07:50 High school?
00:07:52 Where's the money for that?
00:07:57 Many of my classmates
00:08:03 Now we're in a socialist society
00:08:06 We need to go to high school.
00:08:08 Besides, the country needs
00:08:13 So middle school is not enough.
00:08:19 It's not that
00:08:23 Because if you go alone,
00:08:25 do we just forget about
00:08:30 It's better
00:08:32 Then you can afford to go later.
00:08:35 How can I make that much money?
00:08:38 We'll see then,
00:12:13 The water will soon rise
00:12:16 when the Three Gorges Dam
00:12:18 I'm really worried.
00:12:24 But even if my heart worries,
00:12:28 The Three Gorges Dam is
00:12:32 The higher level of government
00:12:37 But when the money trickles down
00:12:42 like corrupt officials,
00:12:45 it just disappears.
00:13:22 My father was
00:13:27 for the old government,
00:13:30 so after liberation
00:13:33 he was labelled
00:13:36 Our farm collective
00:13:39 so we fled from my hometown.
00:13:46 My mom starved to death in
00:13:56 It was like this
00:14:18 Before I think my dream
00:14:26 and be a scientist.
00:14:29 But now i think it's impossible.
00:14:48 I'd say maybe let Yu Shui...
00:14:54 ...go to work.
00:15:01 I think that's what
00:15:05 We can't make enough money
00:15:07 How can she go to school
00:15:10 She can only go to work.
00:15:13 Let her go to work first...
00:15:20 Of course
00:15:24 if we let her go study
00:15:32 But if we don't
00:15:41 When the water rises and
00:15:44 where can you farm?
00:15:47 You can't even have a life.
00:15:57 She'll be fine
00:15:59 Some of her classmates
00:17:29 Let's go dance!
00:17:33 Hello?
00:17:36 If you have nothing to do,
00:17:39 Come and join us.
00:17:41 The mood's not right!
00:17:50 Don't be like this,
00:17:53 lingering in my mind,
00:17:56 you'll find out how lonely I am.
00:18:04 In my dreams, I've kissed you
00:18:12 When the boat managers
00:18:16 they told me they hired me
00:18:21 First I'm good-looking,
00:18:28 I am abitious, I'm never
00:18:33 I don't want
00:18:48 Tonight's about having fun.
00:18:49 Tomorrow will be about
00:18:51 Career is the top priority!
00:18:56 When I come back
00:18:57 I guarantee you guys
00:18:59 In my opinion
00:19:02 Whenever you have difficulties
00:19:08 Soon I'll be earning
00:19:10 I'll have more than you guys.
00:19:14 Let's fill it up.
00:19:16 Drink up to show that we share
00:19:21 Okay, brothers forever!
00:19:30 Whoa, what the fuck?
00:19:44 Remember when you leave
00:19:52 Otherwise, it's no good.
00:19:59 Go get me some more rice.
00:20:06 Go get it for your father.
00:20:08 C'mon, be quick.
00:20:26 Mom, can you see me off?
00:20:28 See you off?
00:20:30 There's no need.
00:20:31 There's no need.
00:20:33 Besides, you're a grown-up now.
00:20:37 You're a middle school graduate.
00:20:39 I don't read. I might take you
00:20:53 You're not a real mother!
00:21:06 Stubborn temper!
00:21:08 Come and collect the plates!
00:21:10 It's your responsibility!
00:21:13 Hurry up!
00:21:23 You're having too much fun,
00:21:25 It's your turn to clean!
00:21:27 Remember to
00:21:31 Remember that.
00:21:50 You know our family is poor.
00:21:55 You understand
00:22:02 We don't even
00:22:03 How can we
00:22:06 I know you don't want
00:22:10 Your hard work will pay off.
00:22:25 I know it's because your father
00:22:30 that we have to exploit you.
00:22:35 If we had a choice,
00:22:40 You know your father
00:22:48 Whatever clothing you need
00:22:51 buy a little bit.
00:22:53 The rest of the money
00:22:59 We'll put it aside.
00:23:03 In your daily life, eat well.
00:23:10 When you spend money on food,
00:26:27 I'm going to give you
00:26:30 We'll call you Cindy.
00:26:39 - What's your name?
00:26:41 - What's you English name?
00:26:43 He's Jerry. Cindy.
00:26:46 This is our operations manager,
00:26:51 You have two long-sleeves,
00:26:58 Here are two long trousers.
00:27:01 Here is a tie and apron,
00:27:04 Here is a tie clip.
00:27:45 How do you like it?
00:27:54 Eyes front!
00:27:57 Stand to the right!
00:28:04 Who's still moving?
00:28:08 You can't hold still
00:28:11 Quality service.
00:28:14 Yes.
00:28:16 I can't hear the confidence
00:28:17 - Do you have it or not?
00:28:19 That's better.
00:28:22 Let's talk about
00:28:25 Twenty years ago,
00:28:28 when I first brought
00:28:31 people in Hong Kong
00:28:34 "foreign devils".
00:29:14 So now, let's invite Cindy.
00:29:56 You can try speaking slower.
00:30:07 My "University of Life"
00:31:55 You should greet guests
00:31:59 even by the staircase.
00:32:02 No! Don't say, "Hello"!
00:32:04 Normally you say:
00:32:08 That's the proper way.
00:32:29 Most of the tourists are French
00:32:40 At lunch you let out the water.
00:32:42 When you come back at dinnertime
00:32:46 You have to
00:32:50 Otherwise, you damage them.
00:32:52 Here's the daily cleaning fluid.
00:32:56 Press that to wash.
00:33:03 If you don't do this properly,
00:33:06 It'll be messy.
00:33:08 Have a look.
00:33:17 Here's the electricity switch
00:33:20 The first thing you do
00:33:23 The whole place will light up.
00:33:25 Plates with a blue circle
00:33:31 When the time comes,
00:33:32 I will set you up
00:33:35 Okay.
00:33:41 So tired!
00:35:21 Pay attention
00:35:25 to not be overly modest
00:35:29 Too modest
00:35:33 they might think
00:35:38 Don't compare Canada to
00:35:44 Don't talk about
00:35:49 Avoid the issue
00:35:54 Don't talk about this issue.
00:36:00 Don't talk about monarchies,
00:36:06 or any relevant serious
00:36:11 Don't call anybody
00:36:19 In English you will say "plump".
00:36:45 Drain the water
00:36:48 Make sure everything is clean.
00:36:50 That's it.
00:36:56 You shouldn't say
00:36:58 You need to finish it.
00:37:00 Make sure you clean the mess
00:37:05 You can't leave things
00:37:08 If you have to clean this place,
00:37:30 Don't cry.
00:37:33 You will learn more
00:37:40 Don't be upset.
00:37:43 All you need to do
00:37:45 That's our duty.
00:37:47 It's not any easier
00:37:50 You still need to work hard.
00:37:52 And this is straightforward work
00:37:55 and easy to do.
00:38:09 You always have to remind her
00:38:12 Yes, always have to remind her.
00:38:16 She doesn't know enough,
00:38:18 especially when
00:38:21 And communicating with people.
00:38:24 I got blisters on my hands
00:38:28 Nobody can help you.
00:38:30 If you're doing guest rooms,
00:38:32 you have to do
00:38:34 Everybody has
00:38:36 She really has to change a lot.
00:38:40 Is she afraid of asking?
00:38:42 No, I don't think she realizes
00:38:45 She should be more hunble
00:38:46 when she's working
00:38:48 I think she's a bit shy, though.
00:38:51 She lives by the river
00:38:57 If her family is poor then
00:41:28 Oh, this one!
00:41:33 Yu Shui, what are you doing?
00:41:36 I'm writing some stuff.
00:41:38 Writing your diary?
00:41:40 Yeah, sort of... diary.
00:41:47 I'm worried
00:41:50 and floods our land and house.
00:41:55 I'm worried that my father
00:41:58 and what will he do afterwards?
00:42:03 I'm just worried about them.
00:42:05 I miss them every day.
00:42:52 We'll eat as soon as your mother
00:42:57 It's still early.
00:42:58 It's not even
00:44:00 - What dynasty is it?
00:44:02 - Ming dynasty?
00:44:06 How much for that one?
00:44:10 Don't be so difficult!
00:44:13 We're moving. The prices
00:44:17 There will always be people
00:44:21 It's impossible to stop
00:44:23 the building of
00:44:26 because of my own needs.
00:44:28 Sacrificing the little family
00:44:33 If you house will be flooded,
00:44:41 I will report to
00:44:46 Look, they're fighting
00:44:49 You just can't help it.
00:44:52 Go take a look!
00:44:54 We did all the calculations,
00:44:57 and had the house demolished.
00:44:59 After all these months,
00:45:00 we still didn't get
00:45:03 The Zhan village got 300 yuan,
00:45:04 while we only got
00:45:08 They had people
00:45:10 What can you say about us
00:45:13 They tore down our machines
00:45:19 It's hard being a human
00:45:22 but being a common person
00:45:30 China is too hard
00:45:35 Some officials are like bandits:
00:45:37 Beating, smashing, robbing...
00:45:42 Even wanting a roof
00:45:50 When we had to move,
00:45:59 No money to bribe the officials,
00:46:07 For common people
00:46:10 ...it's really not easy.
00:46:49 Ladies and gentlemen, you know,
00:46:52 the most important thing
00:46:57 How about the relocatee?
00:47:00 This is the new apartment
00:47:05 Where is the old house?
00:47:06 The old house
00:47:11 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:15 If you have
00:47:18 you can ask the farmer directly.
00:47:20 I will just do
00:47:25 In the farmer's house, they have
00:47:31 air conditioning.
00:47:32 I think the house is okay.
00:47:36 Seeing is believing.
00:47:38 Would you like to have a look
00:49:38 I have been doing this
00:49:42 The weather has been dry.
00:49:46 You can't get any income
00:49:51 You can't grow anything
00:49:57 When the Three Gorges gate
00:49:59 the water level will soon rise
00:50:01 and the farmland
00:50:04 I'll have to earn
00:50:07 to pay for my kids' studies
00:50:12 No money if I stay home.
00:50:16 It's coming, coming, coming.
00:50:21 Watch out!
00:50:25 Watch out, watch out!
00:51:54 I don't like these
00:51:56 Let me find you a larger one.
00:51:59 How about you just try it on?
00:52:03 Just put it on.
00:52:05 Here we go.
00:52:06 Just hang your clothes up there.
00:52:14 It's kind of tight.
00:52:17 It's not revealing!
00:52:18 That's not revealing.
00:52:19 She didn't
00:52:21 Don't slouch.
00:52:25 You have to put the sleeves
00:52:28 That's nice.
00:52:29 Yes, it's better
00:52:35 Like that!
00:52:36 She should straighten
00:52:38 That will look much better.
00:52:40 Yeah, that's better.
00:52:42 It's nice. How much is it?
00:52:46 It's 148 yuan
00:52:49 20 percent discount?
00:52:51 Help me calculate.
00:52:53 How about 100 yuan?
00:52:57 Okay.
00:53:35 Mom!
00:53:36 You're early.
00:53:40 - I've just come down.
00:53:47 This must be your father!
00:53:48 Your parents, right?
00:53:50 My name is Zheng.
00:53:53 How about we go on the boat
00:53:58 - That's not necessary.
00:54:02 Let's go have
00:54:04 - Okay.
00:54:07 I'm sorry if my daughter
00:54:12 Hopefully you can tolerate her.
00:54:51 You have a nice view
00:55:15 Employees need to speak English.
00:55:17 Little Yu
00:55:21 Yes, that's for sure.
00:55:25 The kind of thing
00:55:27 The situation is impossible
00:55:29 because of
00:55:32 Now that she's on the boat
00:55:35 she might need
00:55:38 As for herself, unlike others,
00:55:42 she doesn't mess around
00:55:47 She's never had
00:55:50 and see the world before.
00:55:52 This is her first time.
00:55:54 It's a big step forward.
00:55:57 To deal with Western customers,
00:56:01 that's a big change.
00:56:08 You should have confidence
00:56:14 Confidence to believe
00:56:19 The dreams you cannot fulfill
00:56:22 can be fulfilled
00:56:26 through her hard work,
00:56:33 Don't worry!
00:56:38 - Say goodbye to your parents.
00:56:44 - Be good!
00:56:47 Listen to your manager.
00:56:51 Let's go.
00:57:59 I pray to the Holy Father
00:58:02 It's a blessing
00:58:07 I pray everyday
00:58:15 I pray for the youth
00:58:20 The youth should also
00:58:23 To learn how to be
00:58:27 Don't quarrel
00:58:31 God, I beg for your blessing.
00:58:35 Your humble daughter
00:58:38 Tears in my eyes,
00:58:42 as if someone is clawing
00:58:46 I'm God's child. I depend on you
00:58:50 Wherever you go I will
01:00:44 If you are satisfied
01:00:47 we feel very cheerful.
01:01:00 Welcome to our boat again.
01:01:39 Whoa. Thirty. Thirty!
01:01:49 I'm so happy.
01:01:54 I can't believe it.
01:01:55 You did nothing
01:01:58 They're out of their minds!
01:02:10 Now, since
01:02:14 I've learned
01:02:21 You have to know
01:02:26 Normally I don't help
01:02:27 Even if they ask I won't go.
01:02:30 I would ask someone else
01:02:31 because I know that they're
01:02:34 They are the stingiest.
01:02:37 What the fuck do I do
01:02:40 If they're too young or too old,
01:02:43 The best are the middle-aged men
01:02:48 I earn the most.
01:02:50 Fuck, think about it.
01:02:51 My mom only earns
01:02:54 My father makes about 2000 yuan.
01:03:26 How's life on the boat?
01:03:29 Life is pretty good.
01:03:33 Do you eat meat everyday?
01:03:38 Everyday we always have
01:03:42 meat and vegetables.
01:03:47 Do they have television?
01:03:48 Yeah, there's television,
01:03:51 The tour guides' cabins
01:03:55 Did you meet any friends
01:03:59 I've gotten to know
01:04:02 One of them is called Xie Juan.
01:04:07 Her English name is Yo Yo.
01:04:12 She actually treats me
01:04:16 We're always joking around
01:04:18 She gives me nicknames.
01:04:20 Because I have darker skin,
01:04:21 she calls me
01:04:25 I don't know
01:04:37 Do you feel homesick?
01:04:42 Yeah, I do. Everyday.
01:04:45 You still want to come back
01:04:47 Yeah.
01:05:36 Girls should know
01:05:41 Will you blame me
01:05:43 What do you think?
01:05:44 You need to dress-up
01:05:46 so you're more pleasant
01:05:48 It's easier to be with them.
01:05:52 That's right.
01:05:59 I'm drawing you
01:06:04 You're laughing all the time.
01:06:11 Got to put on lipstick
01:06:15 Now you look so womanly!
01:06:22 It'd be better
01:06:24 You'd look like a doll!
01:06:26 Now smile.
01:06:40 Please welcome Chen Bo Yu.
01:06:48 I dedicate this song to you.
01:06:50 Enjoy your vacation.
01:06:57 When the earth rotates,
01:07:04 That means I'm missing you
01:07:12 Forever the same horizon
01:07:16 My heart
01:07:20 will never change
01:07:25 Love you for then thousand years
01:07:32 That love can overcome
01:07:38 Surpass the limitations of time
01:07:44 Bring closer
01:07:49 Stay with eacht other,
01:08:06 I told Chen Bo Yu that if he
01:08:13 But he doesn't respect me.
01:08:17 He's so arrogant.
01:08:20 He's like an actor.
01:08:23 Not someone who goes to work.
01:08:26 So we've never taken him
01:08:29 He's a superstar.
01:08:33 - Look at him.
01:08:38 Don't make me choke.
01:08:45 Chen Bo Yu,
01:08:48 I'm asking,
01:08:54 I'm going to cry.
01:09:10 Self-criticism.
01:09:17 As usual we went in,
01:09:20 put down the luggage
01:09:25 We stayed for several minutes
01:09:28 and the customer gave us
01:09:31 Then we left
01:09:44 I didn't ask her for it.
01:09:47 I never said: "You need
01:09:51 I never said this at all.
01:09:55 We closed the door and left.
01:09:57 She complained and said
01:10:07 I don't think
01:10:11 I'm too arrogant.
01:10:18 I think I was born
01:10:27 My parents
01:10:31 I'm very young.
01:10:34 This is their responsibility.
01:10:40 But Yu Shui is only sixteen.
01:10:42 We're different.
01:10:47 I can continue my studies but
01:10:50 Can her family support her
01:10:52 Well, my family can.
