Wu’s one year old son was kidnapped in the middle of the night and was most probably sold to another family. Ten years later, Wu still hopes to find him.
On his bicycle, he travels across China, defying the indifference and inaction of Chinese society and authorities. After 10 years of research, the man is beginning to lose it...

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.480
Nana, I’m coming back home.
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.520
I won’t leave again.
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.680
It’s as difficult to keep
going as it is to give up.
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.160
I’m going to find a job.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.800
I’ll go to the coal mine.
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.720
I’ll earn enough.
You won’t have to work.
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.080
Our life is not as good
as other people’s lives.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.920
People around us
have a home, a car.
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.080
They’re not better than us.
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:25.840
We’re not lazy.
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:29.000
We can make it too.
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:00.560
How old is he ?
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.680
- 10 months.
- 10 months.
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.000
- How old is he now ?
- 11 years old.
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.200
- 11...
- He was born on the same day as me.
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.600
Many families asked me for help.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.600
Right now, I have
7 or 8 requests.
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.240
For you, I’ll do it
as fast as possible.
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:26.120
Thank you.
00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.200
I have to examine the photos first.
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.800
The more info I have, the better.
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:36.040
It happened at night.
00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:39.600
The window was open
to let the air flow.
00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:42.360
We have a coal stove.
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.120
My son was restless as usual.
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:53.560
I played with him and
I went to the bathroom.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.680
I locked the front door.
00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:00.360
We fell asleep.
00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.040
I was dozing.
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:05.880
Suddenly, my son was gone.
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.040
I didn't even get dressed.
00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:09.880
I ran outside.
00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:13.320
The lights were on
and the door wide open.
00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:16.680
Though I remember locking it.
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.400
I was freezing.
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.840
I went to get my clothes.
They were gone too.
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.720
And what have you
been doing for 10 years ?
00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:29.800
I’m looking for him.
00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:32.000
All the time ?
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.960
It depends on how much
money I have.
00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:42.080
I was a farmer.
Now I work here and there.
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.320
The problem...
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:47.440
I have no idea what
he would look like today.
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.800
I guess that, with your pen,
00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:53.360
you could draw a picture
of him as he is today.
00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:56.680
It’s difficult with so few photos.
00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:00.400
In 10 years, he must
have changed a lot.
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.320
Look at the shape of his face.
He looks like you.
00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:46.120
I see... The same eyes.
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.720
- He looks like my wife too.
- It’s true.
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.320
Thank you !
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.200
Nana !
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.720
She no longer lives here.
00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:14.800
Since when ?
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:16.480
A week ago.
00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:19.200
- Where did she go ?
- I don't know.
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.520
Does she come back here ?
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:22.680
No.
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.600
- Where did she move ?
- No idea.
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.680
It’s urgent.
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.720
I can’t do anything.
She is gone.
00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:40.360
- Do you know where she works ?
- That's enough. Go away.
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:47.560
Nana, where are you ?
00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:50.280
Nobody knows where you live.
00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:56.680
I’m coming back from Shandong.
I had a portrait of Jiacheng made.
00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:02.680
Give me your new address.
It’s important.
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:51.560
6 months waiting for my salary !
00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:54.800
They don’t give a shit about me !
00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:58.000
If you get angry, it won't work.
00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:01.520
If I do nothing, I’ll have nothing.
00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:05.200
We have to go back.
They will end up paying.
00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:08.880
In the contract it says
at the end of each month.
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:42.920
I go.
00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:13.440
Dear Mr. Dong.
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.120
Hello.
00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:20.040
I've been working
on your site for 6 months.
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.360
But I still haven't gotten paid.
00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:27.880
I am writing to you...
00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:32.000
... so that you can
understand my situation.
00:08:34.920 --> 00:08:35.880
With my wife,
00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:37.520
we fight
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:39.920
all the time.
00:08:42.520 --> 00:08:43.600
She left.
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.480
My 2 kids...
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:51.280
The youngest is Jiahao.
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:52.840
He's 6 years old.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.440
He goes to school.
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.680
My oldest boy...
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.280
... disappeared 10 years ago.
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.760
He was kidnapped
when he was 1 year old.
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:08.960
I’m looking for him.
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.600
What are you doing ?
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.240
I'm writing to reclaim my salary.
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:24.760
You have to get
on your knees to get paid !
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.880
You’re looking for trouble !
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.600
I won't let go !
00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.400
- Beware !
- We’ll see.
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.000
Jiahao !
00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:06.640
- Say goodbye.
- Daddy ! Goodbye !
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.040
Does he have his uniform ?
00:10:10.520 --> 00:10:13.200
Don’t run so fast !
Wait for me.
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:16.600
Daddy, I’m not doing my homework !
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.720
Jiahao !
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:21.520
Hurry up !
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.280
You have to review your lessons.
00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:36.120
Quick, then.
00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:38.760
What is this ?
00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:40.640
One. Two. One.
00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:42.080
I’m working out.
00:10:42.280 --> 00:10:43.840
Repeat : "Dear child".
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.040
"Dear child".
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.080
"A bunch of grapes".
00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:50.280
"A bunch of grapes".
00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:55.200
In English, how do
you say "banana" ?
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.320
Banana.
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:03.560
Banana...
00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:06.080
We say "the banana".
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.680
How do you say "banana" ?
00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:13.800
..."the banana".
00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:16.240
Banana... Banana.
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.560
Daddy, I would like
to dress up as Batman.
00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:30.200
Daddy can you buy
me a Batman outfit ?
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.720
You already have one of Spider-Man.
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.480
Hi, Zhao Ge.
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.280
Are you playing mahjong ?
00:11:58.760 --> 00:12:00.640
I’m in the middle of a game.
00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:04.160
Spare me a minute.
We need to find a solution.
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.440
Did you get paid ?
00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:10.560
No, we need to find a way.
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.040
Who do we have to ask
to get our money ?
00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:19.080
Directly to the boss.
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:20.800
Yes.
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:25.280
If he refuses to pay
we must put pressure on him.
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.320
Yes.
00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:30.080
Either we smash everything up,
or we lock him in.
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:30.640
Yes.
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.080
If he gets scared,
we'll get what’s ours.
00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:36.520
Ok, let's threaten him.
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.440
He says he is broke.
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:42.920
But he already got the
money from the supplier.
00:12:43.520 --> 00:12:46.280
Let’s call each other
tomorrow and see.
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.880
We mustn’t let him go.
00:12:49.640 --> 00:12:50.400
Hello ?
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.120
You hung up ?
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.040
It’s winter now,
and still no money.
00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:21.080
You keep on lying but
now it’s no longer possible.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.440
You have to wait...
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.960
I won't sit
on my couch and wait.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.880
The government is on my back !
00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:35.240
No ! You act with impunity !
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.320
We can wait to get paid.
00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:44.360
But we have to make sure
that Wu gets his money.
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.920
For us, we'll see later.
00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:49.920
We all know about his story.
00:13:50.280 --> 00:13:51.560
It’s been 10 years.
00:13:51.880 --> 00:13:54.480
He has to go back
to look for his son.
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:56.480
He badly needs the money.
00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:58.920
I'm going to talk to the boss.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.440
We need to talk.
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.400
I have a 6 million debt.
00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:16.880
I’m just a subcontractor.
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.600
It's a mess between 2 companies.
00:14:20.760 --> 00:14:22.800
We are all waiting to get paid.
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.640
You’re full of crap.
You don't care.
00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:27.160
Don't screw it up !
00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:30.160
Even if you sue me,
I won’t be able to pay.
00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:31.760
Watch your back...
00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:34.680
You’re not going to lock me in !
00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:41.240
I want my money.
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.000
Think about what
you’re going to lose !
00:14:58.680 --> 00:14:59.800
Did you get up ?
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.120
Not yet.
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:03.800
Do you have time to eat ?
00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:06.200
I’m not hungry.
00:15:07.560 --> 00:15:09.440
I’m going to leave.
00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:10.880
We have to talk.
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.320
Who are these people ?
00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:19.520
They’re making a documentary
about us and the search.
00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:21.200
Where are they from ?
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.880
From abroad.
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.240
I’m scared of foreigners. We
never know what they will say.
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.800
They don’t have
anything better to do ?
00:15:33.520 --> 00:15:34.520
Where are you ?
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:35.880
I am...
00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:38.440
... South of Century Ginwa.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.240
- How did you come ?
- By motorcycle.
00:16:02.760 --> 00:16:03.440
Hey boss !
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:04.640
Yes.
00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:08.320
What do you want ?
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.000
2 bowls of rice and 2 soups.
00:16:12.640 --> 00:16:14.320
- And 2 sides.
- Got it.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.080
Thanks.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.600
Jiahao is restless.
00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:27.240
He’s not good at writing.
00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:31.120
You have to come back home.
00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:34.600
He needs you.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.760
I have a job, I make a living.
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.280
I can buy him books.
00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:43.920
If I quit my job,
how will we manage ?
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.920
I won’t quit.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:53.560
What ?
00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:54.520
Nothing.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.040
Eat up.
00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:04.440
We have debts,
and you don't care !
00:17:05.320 --> 00:17:06.520
Eat, eat up !
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.040
So you want to quit
working again...
00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:20.520
You’re 40 already !
00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:23.840
We're indebted to the hilt.
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.040
We need money to live,
and save some for Jiahao.
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.000
How much do you make per year ?
00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:41.400
Even if you save 10 000 each year,
00:17:41.800 --> 00:17:43.760
it won't be enough !
00:17:44.560 --> 00:17:47.640
Forget about the house
and the car !
00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:56.720
If I don't look for him,
people are wondering why.
00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:04.240
Anyway, there’s no job
to be found in winter.
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:18.080
I don’t want to work here anymore.
I’m not even getting paid.
00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:24.080
It’s been 10 years !
00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:25.320
10 years !
00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:30.440
Each time you leave,
we are left without a dime.
00:18:31.080 --> 00:18:33.000
When will this end ?
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:40.480
I look for him
to put an end to it.
00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:43.760
I still have a headache.
00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:50.120
He's our son...
How can we stop it ?
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.440
At night, it's a torture
to go to sleep.
00:18:57.080 --> 00:19:00.880
A few days ago, I dreamt that
someone wanted to kill me.
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:03.560
Was there blood ?
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:05.720
No blood.
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.000
Do you think that one day
this nightmare will stop ?
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.840
Drive safely !
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:38.280
You make me laugh too much.
You’re tickling me.
00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:42.280
No tickling !
00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:49.560
No tickling !
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.560
Who is your dad ?
00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:55.600
Wu.
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.520
Your mother ?
00:19:57.840 --> 00:19:58.640
Nana.
00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:01.560
- And you ?
- Jiahao.
00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:06.600
Dad...
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.640
I have a headache.
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.080
I love you and mom.
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.160
Not grandma ?
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.760
Sure.
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.240
- Take it.
- No.
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.320
Mom.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:07.920
Take it !
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.040
You will be needing money.
00:21:11.040 --> 00:21:11.680
Mom.
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.440
When will you come back ?
00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:19.640
I don't know.
00:21:20.520 --> 00:21:21.840
Don’t cry !
00:21:25.120 --> 00:21:27.320
Be strong !
00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:31.680
I have to find him.
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:34.640
Mom.
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:38.760
I have to go.
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.840
Nana.
00:22:17.520 --> 00:22:19.200
I’m in Henan.
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.000
I couldn't get paid.
00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:27.640
The boss fired me.
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.840
I didn't have enough to leave.
00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:34.960
I sold my wedding ring.
00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:39.880
I also borrowed money.
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.840
I left some money
for you at home.
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.320
I’m looking for my son.
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:55.480
You’re brave !
00:23:58.520 --> 00:24:01.040
Help me distribute this picture !
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.080
Look after your kids !
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.080
- I’m looking for my son.
- Your son !
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.400
- And the other pictures ?
- Missing children. They're plenty.
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:20.720
Imagine that someone takes your
son away from you, just like that.
00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:23.000
I didn’t hear anything.
00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:25.200
- How old was he ?
- 1 year old.
00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:26.760
He was sleeping.
00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:30.600
I managed to get a picture of him.
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.800
- Does he look like this today ?
- Yes.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.960
This picture gives
me a real chance.
00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:43.000
It matches the appearance
of the parents.
00:24:45.520 --> 00:24:48.080
You have to go to the police !
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:51.160
For them, I'm strong enough,
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.080
and I can search on my own !
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.920
If you only rely on your strength,
you will never make it !
00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:04.880
But my story is a pain in
the ass for the authorities !
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:08.320
It gives a bad
image of the country !
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.480
Medias are controlled by the party.
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.720
They will lose their job
if they help me.
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:18.480
What I want
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.280
is to be able to look at
myself in the mirror.
00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:25.760
What other alternative than search ?
00:25:27.080 --> 00:25:30.120
But how do you keep on going ?
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:34.160
With the strength of my legs !
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.240
But you have to support your family !
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.200
In any case, in winter
there’s no jobs.
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.800
It’s impossible to go
on without a salary !
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.440
Do you have some kind of allowance ?
00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:50.120
Are you kidding ?
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:54.480
At the birth of my 2nd son,
I got a fine !
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.880
I had many problems because
of the single child policy.
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.560
Hello.
00:27:31.840 --> 00:27:33.000
I have a problem.
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:35.080
What’s the matter ?
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:36.320
The wheels.
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:38.240
Put it there.
00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:41.840
- Look.
- You have a flat tire.
00:27:42.040 --> 00:27:43.200
I must remove it.
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.520
- And the other side ?
- it’s ok.
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:47.400
No need to change.
00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:53.600
- What are you doing with such a bike ?
- I’m looking for my son.
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.840
But you are crazy
to do that on a bike !
00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:59.440
It’s cheaper that way.
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:01.960
You can't manage with a car.
00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:06.360
You can’t park easily.
And the bike draws attention.
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.880
- But it's slow !
- I have no choice.
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.600
Do you change the wheel ?
00:28:14.760 --> 00:28:16.480
No, only the inner tube.
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.680
You’re going everywhere ?
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:24.360
Yes, I criss-crossed almost
60% of the country.
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.680
You have some leads ?
00:28:28.800 --> 00:28:31.880
My neighbor saw a man
in front of my house.
00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:35.320
He wondered what
he was doing there.
00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:41.480
The man asked if
I had a boy or a girl.
00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:46.160
Oh, he was spotting the place !
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.800
What a son of a bitch !
00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:52.120
It’s a business.
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.160
Those who want a child pay
a smuggler to get one.
00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:01.960
Look at the smuggler's face.
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:04.800
I have his licence plate.
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.320
Can’t the police find him then ?
00:29:10.600 --> 00:29:13.480
I asked the police millions of times.
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:16.000
They never did anything.
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.560
People want a son
for their retirement.
00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:22.280
Yes, families want a boy.
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.280
We say, without a son
you’re worth nothing.
00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:27.920
It’s the tradition.
00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:30.280
We all want a son.
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.600
Our society walks on its head !
00:29:33.760 --> 00:29:35.920
Without a son, you’re nothing.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.520
I'm done.
00:30:06.360 --> 00:30:07.480
They stole him ?
00:30:08.040 --> 00:30:10.920
Yes, he came in
through the window.
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:13.240
You should look South.
00:30:13.560 --> 00:30:16.960
But here too, in Henan,
people buy children.
00:30:17.040 --> 00:30:17.520
No !
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:18.400
Not here !
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:21.280
In the south :
Guangdong and Shanxi.
00:30:21.600 --> 00:30:23.480
They kidnap small babies.
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.080
They are not going to
cross China to sell them.
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.880
And then they come back
to steal another one.
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.400
They steal to keep them
for themselves !
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:35.600
Yes, that too.
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.800
But most of the time,
it’s to sell them.
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:39.320
You're wrong !
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:42.160
You don't want to understand !
00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:45.120
Every day, children
are being stolen.
00:30:45.280 --> 00:30:47.120
Everywhere, children are bought.
00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:49.640
Are you crazy to say that ?
00:30:50.360 --> 00:30:53.120
Nonsense !
00:30:55.120 --> 00:30:56.960
It’s insulting !
00:30:57.280 --> 00:31:00.400
We have just
a different point of view !
00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:04.360
You must be confronted
to the problem to understand !
00:31:06.040 --> 00:31:09.960
There's less danger with a baby.
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:16.320
A baby won't recall
being kidnaped.
00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:21.400
Tell yourself your son might
be happy in his new family.
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.440
They surely can take care of him.
00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:28.400
The smugglers need a network.
00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:32.400
They do all sort of scheming
with the administration.
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.640
They are well organized.
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:35.760
How ?
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.160
They pay the police,
the hospitals,
00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:40.800
to get a birth certificate.
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.120
It was under the single
child policy !
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:48.000
Yes there are less kidnappings,
we're allowed 2 kids now.
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.800
But you know, at Fuping hospital,
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.440
a doctor sold 44 children.
00:31:54.560 --> 00:31:58.840
- Yes, he was executed !
- Great !
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.320
They can make
15 000 dollars per child.
00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:06.400
Ask the media for assistance.
They'll help you !
00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:09.120
But there is censorship !
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:12.720
I tell you, even in hospitals,
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.080
babies are sold.
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.160
It's impossible.
00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:21.760
It’s not just a baby or two.
It’s a business !
00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:25.920
You need identity papers,
birth certificates.
00:32:26.280 --> 00:32:28.880
How many are part
of this traffic ?
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.840
Leave him where he is !
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:43.960
Hello.
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:45.560
Is Jiahao here ?
00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:47.200
Yes.
00:32:47.560 --> 00:32:48.840
Give him the phone.
00:32:50.280 --> 00:32:50.800
Daddy !
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.160
Daddy is still working.
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.280
Did you finish your homework ?
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:57.480
It’s done.
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.880
Did you see mommy ?
Did she come ?
00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:02.800
Yes I saw her.
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.840
Did she buy some books ?
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.960
She said she'll buy them tomorrow.
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:13.360
Tomorrow...
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.960
We mustn't spend too much.
00:33:16.520 --> 00:33:17.040
Yes.
00:33:19.760 --> 00:33:21.360
Daddy, I miss you !
00:33:21.840 --> 00:33:23.400
I miss you too.
00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:25.560
Be a good boy with grandma.
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:26.280
Yes.
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:29.320
I miss you so much.
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:33.880
Kiss.
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:34.760
Kiss.
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.360
Bye.
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:54.280
Nana, I had to leave Nanyang.
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:57.160
I was arrested
00:33:59.040 --> 00:34:00.240
by the police.
00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:03.360
But don’t worry.
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:05.760
I'm ok.
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.360
When I distribute my leaflets,
I don’t pay attention to people.
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.320
Some give me up to the police.
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.600
The filmmakers were arrested too.
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.840
It’s quite common for them.
00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:30.600
Nobody wants them
to tell our story.
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:37.960
I wonder if they will
finish their movie.
00:34:43.080 --> 00:34:46.160
Nana, tell me how
are things for you.
00:35:14.680 --> 00:35:16.960
You’ll find an hotel around here.
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:21.640
I’m looking for a cheap one.
It’s not easy.
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:22.360
Yes.
00:35:23.120 --> 00:35:24.520
I could get a fine.
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:26.200
Really ?
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.440
Even for motorbikes, you
get away or you pay.
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:39.440
What are you doing ?
00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:41.200
I'm looking for my son.
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.760
Oh ! I understand.
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:48.200
How long have you
been on the road ?
00:35:48.520 --> 00:35:50.520
Almost 100 days.
00:35:51.520 --> 00:35:54.160
Bloody hell, 3-4 months !
00:35:55.680 --> 00:35:57.080
I saw your bike...
00:35:57.520 --> 00:35:59.080
And I was wondering...
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:01.880
See, I'm searching for my parents.
00:36:02.040 --> 00:36:04.160
- Your biological parents ?
- Yes.
00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:07.400
Do you have any leads ?
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.840
Childhood memories ?
00:36:10.640 --> 00:36:12.680
No, I don't remember anything.
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:16.240
I just heard rumors.
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.760
- What’s your name ?
- Li Yan.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.440
- Li ?
- Yes.
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.840
You keep going like me,
blindly, with no direction.
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.120
If you want, I’m in a hotel
not far from here.
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.760
I took a room with 2 beds.
00:36:36.720 --> 00:36:40.080
You can come if you want.
It doesn’t bother me.
00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:44.720
I take this bed
and you, the other one.
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:46.280
That’s fine.
00:36:48.520 --> 00:36:50.080
What’s your job ?
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.240
I’m a truck driver.
00:36:54.520 --> 00:36:56.280
I go all over China.
00:36:56.600 --> 00:36:58.200
I'm really lazy !
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:00.400
You're right !
00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:03.160
I'm working only
if it’s worth it.
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:05.880
I don’t like to work,
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.320
unless I can make a lot of money !
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:10.920
Same for me.
00:37:12.080 --> 00:37:15.680
Sometimes it’s better to be
a blade of grass than a human.
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:16.880
True.
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:21.280
- Your family is ok ?
- Yes, I got lucky.
00:37:21.640 --> 00:37:24.360
They're not my real parents,
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:28.360
but they gave me everything.
00:37:29.080 --> 00:37:31.760
- Good for you.
- Yes, I can’t complain.
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:35.080
I can't telling them that...
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:42.880
I’m looking for my real parents,
and would do everything to find them.
00:37:43.040 --> 00:37:44.920
I don’t want to hurt them.
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:51.280
I’ve been told that
I look like a guy from Shanxi.
00:37:52.120 --> 00:37:55.920
Others say that I might come
from Guizhou or Sichuan.
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.840
I’ve already searched Guizhou.
00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:06.440
This year I’m going to Sichuan.
00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:10.880
It’s a photo of me.
00:38:11.240 --> 00:38:12.440
It's the only one.
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.120
My face must have changed a lot.
00:38:34.080 --> 00:38:37.440
How did you find out
you were adopted ?
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:42.200
When I was young, at school,
00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:47.520
my classmates called me bastard.
00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:50.240
I was fighting them.
00:38:51.120 --> 00:38:54.440
I beat them up every time.
00:38:55.200 --> 00:38:57.640
So, early on, I got it.
00:38:58.120 --> 00:39:01.320
One day, I asked my mother
to tell me the truth.
00:39:02.600 --> 00:39:04.880
She told me everything.
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:08.000
It happened
00:39:08.520 --> 00:39:10.680
on June 24th 1987.
00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:15.320
She went to an old lady's house.
00:39:16.120 --> 00:39:20.160
She didn’t tell
me all the details.
00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:24.120
She bought me for 110 euros.
00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:28.200
It was quite a lot back then.
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:33.360
For years, I have buried
all this in my heart.
00:39:34.680 --> 00:39:38.400
And I'm dragging my story
like a burden now.
00:39:38.680 --> 00:39:42.960
I want to find out my real date
of birth, where I’m from,
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:45.200
who I am.
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.680
That lady...
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:50.280
she wasn’t the one
who kidnapped you.
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:52.960
It's an organization.
00:39:53.120 --> 00:39:55.120
She used intermediaries.
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.000
Before paying the 110 dollars,
00:39:59.080 --> 00:40:02.400
your parents paid
this woman a deposit.
00:40:03.560 --> 00:40:06.360
And she sent someone to steal you.
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:07.800
Really ?
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:11.040
She didn’t do the dirty job.
00:40:12.040 --> 00:40:15.200
It’s like any other business
you need a network.
00:40:16.560 --> 00:40:17.120
Yes.
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:19.320
Ask…
00:40:20.680 --> 00:40:23.440
Your adoptive parents must know,
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:25.680
and find this woman.
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:28.640
They don't want to talk anymore.
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:31.720
This woman disappeared.
00:40:32.200 --> 00:40:34.160
I searched for her.
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.120
She is supposedly dead.
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.760
Pity.
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:41.240
I have no leads.
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:42.680
Today,
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.280
I lost the track.
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:51.000
I just would like
to know where I’m from,
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.960
how old I really am.
00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:58.840
It drives me crazy not to know.
00:40:59.520 --> 00:41:02.000
It's a total mind fucker.
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:07.280
You’re a grown up now.
Accept the situation.
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:10.200
Don't beat yourself up !
00:41:22.240 --> 00:41:25.880
What does it change to
stir up this story ?
00:41:26.200 --> 00:41:28.960
What would you do if you find them ?
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.080
I want to know if they’re well.
00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:40.760
I'd like to spend
some time with them.
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:45.760
I guess they'd end up
telling me why they sold me.
00:41:47.680 --> 00:41:51.520
I’m 30 and I feel like
my life has been stolen.
00:41:52.520 --> 00:41:54.600
You understand this feeling...
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:59.560
I feel like a seaweed
floating in the ocean.
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.840
Are there adopted children here ?
00:42:54.120 --> 00:42:55.880
There’re many here, no ?
00:42:57.520 --> 00:42:58.840
In the past, yes.
00:42:59.240 --> 00:42:59.920
Before ?
00:43:00.040 --> 00:43:02.080
Yes but not anymore.
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:05.480
There were some in
the 1980s-90s.
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.480
Ask the police.
00:43:10.680 --> 00:43:13.080
They know who adopted a child.
00:43:15.200 --> 00:43:19.560
But the police is conniving
with the buyers.
00:43:21.600 --> 00:43:22.600
Right ?
00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:28.280
Those who buy a child bribe
the administration.
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:33.680
They can do nothing
without legal papers.
00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:35.600
There's none of that here.
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:36.760
Ok thanks !
00:43:46.200 --> 00:43:49.000
Are there any bought children here?
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.280
Were children adopted ?
00:43:55.520 --> 00:43:58.720
I’ve never heard of that.
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:02.680
We never had any
adopted children here.
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:04.720
None ?
00:44:05.160 --> 00:44:06.560
I’m telling you.
00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:08.440
Thank you.
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:18.680
Any adopted children around ?
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:23.120
You don’t want to talk ?
00:44:31.560 --> 00:44:32.600
What are you doing ?
00:44:33.120 --> 00:44:34.440
I’m looking for my son.
00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:35.600
Your son...
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.600
- Where are you from ?
- Weinan.
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.360
You won’t find anything here.
I’m the mayor of the village.
00:44:49.640 --> 00:44:51.640
No one adopts children here.
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.680
- No one ?
- No one.
00:44:55.040 --> 00:44:58.240
So where do the kidnapped
children go ?
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.560
I don’t know, there are none here.
00:45:03.600 --> 00:45:05.480
Ok. Thank you.
00:47:01.520 --> 00:47:03.400
The government doesn’t care.
00:47:03.640 --> 00:47:07.480
People will tell you
there is no child traffic.
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.120
If you're alone,
you're so screwed.
00:47:13.640 --> 00:47:17.120
I guess it will pay at the end.
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:20.640
People don't give
a shit about this.
00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:25.080
People know about this traffic
but it doesn't bother them.
00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:29.240
We’ll never find our kids !
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:31.440
Unless they're looking for us.
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:35.320
Would you want to search with me ?
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.040
Oh my friend !
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.360
For me, it’s been 17 years,
17 years since he disappeared.
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:48.080
It's tough for me
to hit the road with you.
00:47:49.680 --> 00:47:51.160
I’m on my way.
00:47:51.560 --> 00:47:54.480
I can be at your place soon.
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:57.400
We could search around your place.
00:47:58.680 --> 00:48:01.640
Do you still have your bike ?
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:04.280
Yes, same bike.
00:48:05.640 --> 00:48:08.320
I should fix it up a bit.
00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:14.360
I’m going to see with my wife
if I can search with you.
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:16.600
Ok take care.
00:48:36.600 --> 00:48:38.200
Look at the poster !
00:48:40.160 --> 00:48:42.160
- I was...
- What is it ?
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:43.600
Those shoes !
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:44.800
Oh you !
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:50.960
It’s a missing child.
00:48:51.040 --> 00:48:51.760
Ah, him.
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.000
I’ve already seen it.
00:48:54.560 --> 00:48:55.720
A month ago.
00:48:56.080 --> 00:48:57.400
That’s his name ?
00:48:58.080 --> 00:48:59.400
Li Zixuan.
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:01.680
It’s written here.
00:49:02.680 --> 00:49:03.480
Shit !
00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:05.920
You took the wrong road !
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:07.440
I know.
00:49:08.040 --> 00:49:12.440
You should have turned 3 kilometers
before. You're not listening !
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.520
What happened to your hat !
00:49:16.720 --> 00:49:19.680
- I forgot it at home.
- And those slippers ?
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:21.560
They’re good for biking.
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.760
You put up posters and
repeat the same story all over !
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:29.920
It won't work !
00:49:30.520 --> 00:49:31.960
Why not...
00:49:32.200 --> 00:49:34.680
We must all fight together.
00:49:35.200 --> 00:49:37.920
We can't count on the others !
00:49:38.160 --> 00:49:42.280
We can do petitions ! Alone,
you’re going to get arrested.
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:46.120
I'm not signing petitions
again and again!
00:49:46.680 --> 00:49:49.840
We’re humble people
with a humble life.
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:51.960
We have this on our shoulders.
00:49:52.640 --> 00:49:56.520
I know what you're going through.
Why are you so stubborn ?
00:49:57.080 --> 00:49:58.560
I have no choice.
00:49:59.520 --> 00:50:02.160
I look like a little old man !
00:50:04.120 --> 00:50:07.160
I lost everything.
I don’t earn money anymore.
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:09.320
I can't even work anymore.
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.120
Please, put on warm clothes.
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:17.160
Look at you with those slippers !
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.560
My mom made them for me !
00:50:19.680 --> 00:50:21.960
With this cold, you're crazy !
00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:36.280
You spend your life on your bike.
00:50:36.680 --> 00:50:40.840
One day, we’ll find you dead
on the side of the road !
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.240
You need to know when to give up.
00:50:46.120 --> 00:50:48.360
Life must go on.
00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:51.120
It’s not like we’re living alone.
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:56.040
Those who search for
their kids end up alone.
00:50:56.720 --> 00:50:58.640
That’s what you want !
00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:05.000
Losing a child is enough
to fuck you up.
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:08.280
I still wonder why I live.
00:51:08.520 --> 00:51:10.400
People look at me strangely.
00:51:10.680 --> 00:51:14.160
They wonder how
you can loose a son.
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:15.640
I’m ashamed.
00:51:17.560 --> 00:51:21.080
You have to live with it
and accept your fate.
00:51:22.160 --> 00:51:23.400
You know...
00:51:24.720 --> 00:51:27.760
You're not listening,
You only do as you please.
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.600
You have to carry on
with your life.
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:34.680
I never told you
why I stopped searching.
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.480
My wife couldn't sleep anymore.
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:42.400
When I was away, she was alone.
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.320
She thought we had to divorce.
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:49.320
She became insomniac.
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.200
She’s still on medication.
00:51:52.520 --> 00:51:56.640
I sent her in a mental institute.
It didn't do her any good.
00:51:57.160 --> 00:51:59.880
We couldn't go on like this.
00:52:00.560 --> 00:52:02.800
I was told that a mother
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:04.600
finally found her son...
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.840
But when the son discovered
that she was picking up trash,
00:52:09.080 --> 00:52:10.920
he refused to see her !
00:52:11.160 --> 00:52:14.320
I’m afraid of what
he would think of me.
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.960
If he returns home,
what will happen ?
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:23.160
Forget about this. He sure
remembers you ! Keep it in mind !
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.240
You should try with
a new portrait, like me.
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:29.800
Brother ! I know all this.
00:52:31.160 --> 00:52:34.880
You don't want to face it,
you're so stubborn !
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:36.760
Let’s drink !
00:52:37.040 --> 00:52:39.080
It's been a while !
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:40.720
Drink slowly.
00:52:43.160 --> 00:52:46.880
Now, the country is richer.
The economy is good.
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:49.000
We mustn't let go !
00:52:50.600 --> 00:52:53.360
It's the best time to search.
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:56.800
I buy him clothes.
Every year !
00:52:57.080 --> 00:52:58.720
Winter and summer !
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:03.240
We have to prepare for their
return, that's all we can do.
00:53:04.040 --> 00:53:04.880
You know...
00:53:05.200 --> 00:53:07.400
I bought a house for him.
00:53:08.120 --> 00:53:09.080
But...
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.600
He was 4 years old.
He is over 20 now.
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.800
He might be married with kids !
00:53:17.080 --> 00:53:20.000
I'll give the house
to him and his family !
00:53:21.160 --> 00:53:24.000
You spend all
your money in your search !
00:53:25.160 --> 00:53:26.760
I can’t stop.
00:53:27.120 --> 00:53:29.440
You have to give up.
00:53:30.240 --> 00:53:32.400
Cheers !
00:53:38.640 --> 00:53:40.560
- It’s your workshop ?
- Yes.
00:53:41.200 --> 00:53:42.600
Put your bag down.
00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:49.000
If I’m alone, I only eat noodles.
00:53:49.200 --> 00:53:52.360
I just learned how to cook them !
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:54.880
This way...
00:53:56.560 --> 00:53:58.840
I don’t do anything but work.
00:54:01.200 --> 00:54:03.080
- You will sleep here.
- Ok.
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:07.680
At least, I’ll be warm.
00:54:09.680 --> 00:54:10.600
Sleep well.
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:40.200
It’s too heavy.
00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:42.280
How far do we go?
00:54:45.640 --> 00:54:46.320
Cheer up !
00:54:50.600 --> 00:54:51.800
Bloody hell !
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:03.680
Wu, watch out !
00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:50.400
It's ok !
00:55:50.600 --> 00:55:51.960
They’re flying away.
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:53.880
I have them.
00:55:59.240 --> 00:56:00.360
It’s windy.
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.120
- Thanks for the tools.
- You’re welcome.
00:56:37.520 --> 00:56:40.800
On the way up, I couldn't
even stop to pee.
00:56:41.240 --> 00:56:43.120
You see the problem.
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:46.640
Now, I’ll be able to stop.
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:21.760
Give it !
00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:25.400
No, no it’s mine !
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:27.320
I feel better.
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:43.800
You're crazy !
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:44.720
Come back !
00:57:45.040 --> 00:57:46.520
You’re going to fall !
00:58:10.160 --> 00:58:12.640
Can I put my stuff
at your place ?
00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:14.840
No, I don’t want to.
00:58:15.200 --> 00:58:15.880
Well...
00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:19.240
Go there !
00:58:20.640 --> 00:58:22.760
You'll find a place to stay.
00:58:23.040 --> 00:58:24.760
Alright, I’m leaving.
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:26.200
Thank you.
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:54.760
Mom !
00:59:06.680 --> 00:59:07.520
Mom !
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:10.360
Wait for me.
00:59:58.520 --> 01:00:01.160
Is the summit still far ?
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:03.960
It still goes up for a while.
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:06.560
You can do it!
01:01:12.080 --> 01:01:13.160
Wait daddy.
01:01:13.720 --> 01:01:16.320
At the end of the path,
you'll be there.
01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:24.160
Daddy will bring you home.
01:01:28.200 --> 01:01:29.720
One day, you’ll know.
01:02:10.600 --> 01:02:11.920
I'm so fed up.
01:02:40.560 --> 01:02:42.080
Go wash your hands !
01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:48.600
Jiahao.
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:51.200
Do your homework !
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:54.360
What are you doing ?
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:56.400
Little thug !
01:02:56.560 --> 01:02:57.720
You're terrible !
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:03.320
Look, you write outside the lines !
01:03:07.560 --> 01:03:08.320
Come here !
01:03:09.240 --> 01:03:11.200
After peeing, you come back !
01:03:18.200 --> 01:03:19.360
Give it to me !
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:25.320
Go to bed.
01:03:29.200 --> 01:03:30.120
Jiahao.
01:03:32.520 --> 01:03:33.560
Sleep now.
01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:37.720
Mom, are you coming
back tomorrow ?
01:03:38.120 --> 01:03:40.200
I have to work tomorrow.
01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:44.760
Sleep now.
01:03:53.640 --> 01:03:57.120
Wu, when are you coming back ?
You said you would.
01:03:58.200 --> 01:04:02.400
I take care of everything,
and I work at night.
01:04:03.240 --> 01:04:05.920
What are you doing ?
I'm tired.
01:04:26.640 --> 01:04:29.320
Nana, I don't want to come back.
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:33.680
I have no more money.
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:37.560
But I can't stop.
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:52.200
I’m sick of biking.
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:56.480
There are so many slopes.
01:04:57.000 --> 01:04:58.400
I have to push.
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.960
My butt is on fire.
01:05:15.120 --> 01:05:17.120
I don't want to talk anymore.
01:05:17.640 --> 01:05:20.200
I dress up as Spider-Man.
01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:23.720
I hide my face.
01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:25.680
Nobody...
01:05:26.600 --> 01:05:28.200
can recognize me.
01:05:59.120 --> 01:06:00.800
Nana, do you remember...
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:03.640
our first date...
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:07.480
I wrote your name
on a wall with chalk.
01:06:07.720 --> 01:06:09.400
We watched a movie.
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:14.560
I was the luckiest man.
01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:17.640
And, Jiacheng was born.
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:24.440
I should have installed
a grid at the window.
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.640
My headache came back.
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:30.440
Nana, I had an idea.
01:07:32.720 --> 01:07:34.680
I stand in front of schools.
01:07:35.560 --> 01:07:37.280
Every day that passes.
01:07:38.560 --> 01:07:41.440
I wait for children to come to me.
01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:47.280
Maybe Jiacheng is among them.
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:34.680
I haven’t heard
from you in 10 days.
01:08:36.240 --> 01:08:39.160
You don’t send me messages anymore.
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.200
No one will tell you the truth.
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:46.080
You have to understand...
01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:49.080
You'll never know.
01:08:49.320 --> 01:08:51.400
You know how people think here.
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:57.080
You know, I've changed.
01:08:57.800 --> 01:09:01.400
I only want to love people
who are close to me now.
01:09:07.320 --> 01:09:10.800
If you continue,
You'll lose everything.
01:09:11.480 --> 01:09:14.160
I’m afraid you’ll go insane
01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:16.320
or disappear.
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:44.320
How did you come ?
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:46.000
By train.
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:48.240
You got a leave ?
01:09:49.160 --> 01:09:50.000
Yes.
01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:53.880
A few days.
01:09:54.120 --> 01:09:55.440
It’s dark in here.
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:00.280
You keep quiet...
01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:02.560
Honestly...
01:10:03.320 --> 01:10:05.160
Are you ok like that ?
01:10:07.400 --> 01:10:10.040
Aren’t you cold with this outfit ?
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:14.040
No, I’m fine.
01:10:18.240 --> 01:10:19.720
I walk all day.
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.360
It warms me up.
01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:27.800
I know that I look like
a sad clown, but I don’t care.
01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:35.840
This time, you have to come back.
01:10:40.320 --> 01:10:42.440
I'd better be here.
01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:45.520
It’s so painful,
01:10:47.080 --> 01:10:48.560
whatever I do.
01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:52.040
If I don't look for him,
01:10:53.360 --> 01:10:55.960
I will never get over it.
01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:04.960
You know, I never say
that I’ve lost a child.
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:08.960
I don't want to talk about it.
01:11:09.320 --> 01:11:11.280
I want to forget !
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:14.200
I don't want to scratch my wounds.
01:11:17.040 --> 01:11:20.280
We live in shame.
01:11:22.480 --> 01:11:24.120
Forgive me.
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:28.880
If we had watched over him better,
01:11:29.200 --> 01:11:31.000
he would still be with us.
01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:37.040
When I search,
at least I think less.
01:11:39.480 --> 01:11:41.720
I can’t stay home.
01:11:45.120 --> 01:11:46.560
As time goes by,
01:11:49.400 --> 01:11:50.760
Jiacheng grows up,
01:11:52.040 --> 01:11:53.320
and it's harder.
01:11:56.200 --> 01:11:59.720
I’d just love to see him
before he is an adult.
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:17.160
Don't cry.
01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:23.560
When Jiahao is alone
with me, he cries.
01:12:27.320 --> 01:12:30.280
I don't want to lose him too.
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:37.440
We’ll get out of this.
01:12:44.040 --> 01:12:46.400
I'm going to stop.
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:50.920
You have to live in reality.
01:12:52.160 --> 01:12:56.320
We have to buy a house
and have a normal life.
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:09.800
It’s dirty.
01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:11.560
I'll wash it.
01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:18.040
That's heavy !
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:20.160
Hold it from the bottom.
01:13:20.480 --> 01:13:21.760
From the bottom !
01:13:38.440 --> 01:13:39.120
Daddy !
01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:41.400
Help me push !
01:13:42.720 --> 01:13:43.400
Daddy !
01:13:44.480 --> 01:13:45.760
Help your father !
01:13:46.320 --> 01:13:47.680
Help me push.
01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:53.760
My father bikes
in a Spider-Man outfit.
01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:56.800
Can I push ?
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:01.800
Don’t touch !
