Excuse us.
Get out of the way...
Ashin...
Brother, are you alright?
How can itbe so serious?
Be careful
Ashin,
Excuse us.
What? This kid...
He is good!
Like a monkey!
Nonsense,
He's my grandson.
Don't you know how to squat?
Lower your butt.
Lower.
Lower, much lower.
Arms higher.
Hey!
Who are you?
You're not in the gymnastic team.
Why are you here?
Get out!
Don't get in the way.
Ready for handstand.
Attention!
One, clap hands.
Two, step out your feet.
Three, put down your hands.
Lift your legs high.
Just like a puppy peeping.
Hang in there.
You're too fat to lift your leg.
Lift your legs.
Lift your legs.
Your waist is as weak as a banana.
What have I told you?
You need to pay attention in school.
How could you eat
the lunchbox during class?
Mom, the braised chicken thigh
you made smelled so good.
What an excuse.
If I made fried chicken, then you'd...
finish iton the way to school.
Mom,
can I practice gymnastics?
Do we need to pay for that?
The coach said no.
Then go for la.
Straighten your arm,
don't push.
It hurts.
You may go.
Next.
What are you looking at?
It's your turn.
Make itstraight.
Straight.
Shu, nice.
Straighten your legs.
Thrust out your chest.
Look forward.
You're the new kid, right?
You need to work hard.
Come on. Straighten your legs.
Thrust out your chest. Look forward.
This is not a steering wheel.
Go back and do itagain.
Are you going to jump or not?
Today is Pommel Horse skill test.
Come on. Who wants to go first?
Any one?
Champ Yi,
you go first.
Nice preparation posture but...
can't even do one circular motion?
Fine, you can do one at a time.
Even dismount is in sections.
You can go back now.
Keep itthere.
Keep the height.
That's 30
Hold itthere for 10 sec.
Shu,
listen, the game is coming,
and you'll be fine if you keep...
your current condition.
Ashin, come here.
You have great jumping power.
Also have good moves in the air.
But, why can't you land?
Okay, try harder.
Shu, Ashin's movements...
are getting like yours.
Attention please,
Senior Student Group players
in Individual Vault Event,
please do the registry now.
Attention please,
Three minutes practice time
for vault players.
Why It Happened?
Let me see.
How do you feel?
Sprained your ankle?
Straighten your legs first.
Ashin,
as you're a substitute,
just think this one
as a practice.
Take iteasy,
okay?
And, one more thing...
As long as you don't fall on your face,
la will be good enough.
Go for la.
Lin Yu-Shin.
Here.
Brother, you are great!
Still playing?
Time for dinner.
Mom,
why didn't you come to my game?
See, I won the gold medal!
Can you feed on the gold medal?
Eat your dinner.
Brother, give me your gold medal.
Go win your own.
Mom, I want to be like brother.
Be a gymnast and win a gold medal.
Quit the medal thing.
If he eats shit then you'll eat, too?
No.
I wanna be like him...
You want to keep whining?
Then I'll get my rattan.
No, no, no.
Good.
Yuck! Mom,
what's that?
Yuck?
I'd braised this for hours.
Eating brain enhances brain."
After eating this, maybe you can...
be smarter and get higher grades.
Yuck! Mom,
whose brain is la?
Pig's brain.
I asked aunt Jiao
to save this one for me.
One pig has only one brain.
Ha, you'll become a pig head.
Don't you laugh at him.
You have to eat, too.
No...
No? No more moaning.
Just eat.
You deserve la.
Lin Yu-Shin.
Here.
Ashin,
your Kasamatsu Stretch is perfect.
Your movements are great.
But you need good landings.
Shu,
your movements are great.
But,
please don't wear this long face.
Okay?
No one owes you money.
Oh.
Mom,
what took you so long?
I'm starving.
Brother, what's wrong with your foot?
What about your national game
next month?
What game?
Why can't you be like
your little brother?
He studies hard and helps me...
at the fruit stand after school.
And you?
All you know is gymnastics.
If you're really good,
you'd better never get hurt.
The doctor visits are expensive.
I'll earn money to pay you back later.
I just want to do gymnastics.
Pay me back?
I wonder if you can even feed yourself.
Let alone to repay me.
If you keep doing gymnastics,
I may need to support you forever.
A grown-up now.
Does he even know if his legs
are capable or not?
Are you really sure about this?
Don't let him do this anymore.
Please, Coach Huang.
It took him a lot
to be a gymnast.
You really want him to stop?
I don't know about gymnastics.
But l know Ashin
always practices hard.
But, Coach Huang...
Have you seen any gymnast...
with uneven leg length?
Ashin.
Come up here.
Okay.
Coach.
Mom?
Why are you here?
Ashin.
Pack your things,
and go home with your mom.
What?
Coach...
Go pack your stuff,
didn't you hear that?
You care only gymnastics.
How about helping the business?
Mom...
How old are you now?
From now on,
no more gymnastics.
Stay home and learn the fruit business.
It's a better prospect than gymnastics.
Mom, please...
Coach...
my game is coming.
I've removed you from the list.
Hey, look.
This is me.
I saw a chick yesterday.
Pull la.
I saw her.
She is pretty.
Pull here.
Right...
See, she's pretty.
What the hell.
If I see her today,
I'll make her melted like cheese.
What?
Don't get in the way.
I don't want to move.
What do you want?
It depends on what do you want.
How would I know what you want?
I want what you want.
Whatever. Come here if you dare.
Stop quacking there.
Fine.
Don't you move a step.
Okay.
What?
What?
What?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Don't do la. My car!
Brother.
Mom, I'm home.
Why don't you give itto her?
Don't be silly.
Go,
don't be so annoying.
Mom.
Is money his enemy?
Folded like this...
How come itis 100 dollar short?
You ask him.
Brother,
mom said there's 100 missing.
Do you think
the motorcycle runs on water?
Brother said...
I'm not deaf.
Time to eat.
Brother, mom said...
I know.
Having rice with TV is enough,
I guess you don't need any dishes.

Hi, Mr. Lin.
Today, at 12:10, Pickle said:
Please be at the water gate before 3.
The opponents are Mainlanders.
And...
please also bring 3 arrow chisels.
Okay.
Fooling around all day.
Like he is doing some huge business.
Can't even stay home for a minute.
Don't come home if you're that good!
Well.
Only four of you.
Can't find more help?
It depends on whom we are fighting.
You guys are very confident.
Yap...
it's not too late to regret.
Come on.
Sorry.
It's them!
They beat me into this.
Say you're sorry.
I'll forgive you son of a bitch.
He's lucky that we didn't
break his arm last time.
This one looks well-built.
Wonder if he'll call momma later.
You don't get la?
Baby calls his momma
when crying.
Don't know who'll call his mom yet.
The police are here.
Don't let him run away.
I'll get him.
Ashin.
What are you doing?
This is Huasheng Telecom.
May I have your pager password?
Mr. Lin,
are you alright?
What...
I'm fine,
Why?
Any message?

Anything else I can do for you...
Thank you for calling.
Do you know...
What kind of girl does Pickle like?

Well, what does Pickle like to eat?
Cheese.
Right!
Cheese and Pickle...
Perfect match.
Here they come.
Let's hide.
Cheese,

I heard the Mainlanders were battered.
It must be Ashin and his gang.
They are everywhere.
Well, how about this:
We go to the Mainlanders tonight,
Together, we will teach
Ashin's some lessons.
Good.
Miss, Excuse me.

You're new here?
Nice.
You're after this chick?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Missed.
Kill them.
Cheese,

Pickle,
I'm so scared.
Oh, you are so scared.
I need some consolation.
What the hell.
Pickle, hurry up.
I give you my consolation.
Pickle, come on!
Coming.
You can't do that!
How's that?
Hi, Mr. Lin.

Fuck, So tired.
What?
Sorry,
I wasn't talking to you.
Bye.
Pickle,
Time to call momma.
(Billiards House. Win: 2 times)
What's wrong with him?
He was your teammate, right?
How come he has this long face everyday?
The round beer bottle...
and the square ShaoShing bottle...
which one is better for fighting?
Don't know.
Why don't you try la.
Take this one.
Excuse me.
Shit.
Holy shit.
This isn't funny.
Whoever get hit by this

He needs help at the shrimp pool
Okay.

So, be careful this time.
How do you know?
Well...

What?
You know...
The messages between you
and your friends
are very special.
They're all in the company computer.
I see.
Has itever occurred to you that...
you should stop this kind of life?
Nope.
Why are you asking?
Nothing.
It seems to me, though,
you life is very tense.
What is there to be tense for?
Hey, I'm curious...
You work for a pager service...
or a counseling center?
Well...
One more thing:
Don't call me Mr. Lin" anymore.
Call me Ashin.
Ashin.
Bye.

Please wait a second.
Shu,
That table is finishing soon.
Go clean the table.
Hurry up.
Clean the table.
Hey man,
this is not how you do business.
With so few seats,
where shall we be seated?
Maybe you should shut the stall down.
Eat faster.
What? Any problem?
You got something to say!
Oh, sorry!
I didn't mean la.
Are you looking for trouble?
If you are that hungry...
how about I let you swallow my dick?
You asked for this.

So?
Take iteasy.
Boss. Have a cigarette.
You two really have balls.
Come join my gang.

I come here to ask you back.
What do you say?
Going back?
To the gymnastics team?
And, be like you,
staying in the gym everyday,
With only two days oh' during
the Chinese New Year?
Forget la.
It's too boring.
Now I know there is
so much fun out here.
How silly I was back then?
Tied myself to gymnastics.
See how free I am now?
I can do whatever I want.
It is great!
IS la?
A gymnast has only one peak period
in his life,
it'll be too late...
if you don't come back now.
What are you talking about?
You used to look down on me.
But now you're asking me back.
(What me hell)
Listen,
if I am really good at gymnastics,
the coach wouldn't let me go a year ago.
Stop blaming others.
This is your choice.
This is Huasheng Telecom.
May I have your pager password?
This is Ashin.
Ashin?
There's no message for you today.

Thank you for calling.
Is this your first time here?
It is mine.
Hi.

Lets go get some actions tonight.
And you can teach me...
the big wheel...
Hey, Pickle.
Hey.
You come here to dance, too?
You may know how to fight,
but not necessarily know how to dance.

Shut up and drink.
Got hungry after dancing?
You're here for noodles?
Have a seat.
Well...
Do you have more?
Of course.
Order all you want and it's my treat.
Come on.
How about...
I buy from you?
You want to buy from me?
I thought you know your ways around.
I don't want to sell itto you.
What?
Are you angry?
Why not ask Ashin for help?
Mr. Papaya,
Sorry
Ashin didn't mean to embarrass you.
Please don't be angry with him.
Sorry.
Get him here.
This is Huasheng Telecom.
May I have your pager password?
Hi, Mr. Lin.
You have one new message.
From Pickle: night snack together.
Okay.
This is Huasheng Telecom.
May I have your pager password?
It's me,
Ashin.
Are you still mad at me?
It's been a while
Don't be mad.

Why are you covered in blood?
What happened?
Tell me! Tell me what happened!
Tell you what?
Someone died!
What can I say?
Brother,

I have to run away.
Why?
Sometimes trouble finds you...
even when you're not looking for it.
Ashin.
Take this with you.
You can't run away without money.
Wait.
We don't have time.
Wait a second.
Take this jade bracelet, too.

Yes.
Hurry up, I only put in a dollar.
Okay.

You cannot escape.
Next.

but his boss was also thrashed.
No one dares to say anything anymore.
What else?
Your little Brother Xian said...
he is not afraid of trouble now.
And you take care of yourself.
Anything else?
Ashin...
A message from 599,
you have to be patient.
There'll be a way out.
Who is it?
Hello?
Pickle,
Pickle.
Time to get up.
Leave me alone.
You either stay up for three days
or you sleep for three days.
Are you a pig?
It's time to eat.
Where did you go?
Looking for a job.
Or how do we feed ourselves?
Do you have more money?
Lend me some.
I have nothing.
Where do I come up with any money?
Anything left after
you bought the lunchbox?
Lend me some.
I said no.
So you can buy amphetamine?
I thought we're buddies.
We're buddies!
You enjoy seeing me...
as painful as this?
Just lend me some money.
You want this or not?
Fine.
You don't want to eat?
Don't you eat a damn thing then.
Are you angry?
Ashin.
Ashin.
Don't be angry.
Don't be angry.
I'll eat.
Don't be angry.
We are here like this
all because of you.
We're buddies.
Better not let me buy the drug ever.
The ancestors of the Lin family,
please bless Ashin.
Let him know what is right...
and be able to take care of himself.
Please bless him to be safe.
Boss,
Master Kun said,
whatever we drink today,
it's on him.
It's a special offer.
Special offer my ass.
I don't care.
I'll take over
this place sooner or later.
Don't you know how to greet us?
You're new to here?
Hum.
Thank you.
Shit.
Be serious.
What the fuck.
Waiter.
Come clean the fucking table.
Are you deaf?
What the fuck?
Sorry, sorry.
What?
Sorry, boss.
Please forgive him.
You want to stand up for him?
Do you want to stand up for him?
Damn! You're dead.
Boss,
I'm sorry.
Pickle.
Pickle.
Is this okay?
You're god damn nuts.
Not enough?
How about this?
Pickle.
Enough!
Pickle,
what are you doing?
Mad Ox.
You do like to jab around.
Now you're having fun in my place.
Master Kun,
I don't know when your joint...
has become such an exciting place.
There are enough for everyone.
But, if you want to grab them all,
you might break the bowl.
Nothing will be left in the end.
We are young and we want to grab.
Any problem?
Now someone has bled.
What else do you want?
Well, since Master Kun said so...
Take him to the doctor.
Master Kun, thank you.
You're dead.
Now you're running
Still running
Great
Still running
It that your best
Where're you going?
I'll take you son of bitch there.
If you can get rid of Mad Ox,
this one million dollars will be yours.
Thank you, Master Kun.
Well,
Master Kun,
We...
it's okay.
Let's forget about this.
Cheers.
Pickle,
Taipei is not for me.
I feel different.
I am very contented here.
Contented?
Why did we come to Taipei?
We didn't come here
to be someones thugs.
Come on,
what gave you that thought?
What are we?
We're ShaoShing bottles.
You think it's strong?
It can still be shattered.
Pickle.
Let's go back to Yilan.
How?
You think I never thought about it?
If we go back now,
we'll either end up in prison...
or be beaten to death.
So?
We can solve problems together.
Just as the old days.
It 's me who killed him.
I was not strong enough...
so we end up like this.
I'm staying in Taipei.
You'll see,
I'm telling you...
I'll become a gangster head soon.
If anything happens in the future,
it'll be my turn to cover you.
You cover me?
How can you cover me?
Why are you looking at me like this?
Do you want to kiss me?
Just drink some more.
Pickle? Pickle?
Ashin,
you see, that night...
I wanted the amphetamine so much,
that I lied to get you out...
and you were beaten so badly.
I'm such a loser.
I am sorry.
I don't deserve to be your buddy.
You shall go back to Yilan
and do your gymnastics.
The money and the jade pendants
are for my dad.
Tell him he can't beat me anymore.
Ask him to take care of himself.
Tell him to remember that...
he had a wife and a son.
P.S.
If Cheese asked about me,
tell her, just as the song says:
Forget you, forget me."
Pickle,
Let's play tougher
Get up!
Get up, you punk.
Let's go.
Now, I can go back to Yilan.
Ashin.
Pickle!
Pickle!
Why didn't you listen to me?
You said you'll become the head.
You said you'll cover me.
Pickle...
Any message?
A lot.
All nasty ones?
Right.
Forget it.
Do you think...
I should go back?
Why do you like it here so much?
Ashin,
Why don't you just come back
to the gymnastic team?
You fight
as good as Jackie Chan.
That is amazing.
You didn't see my defense
I'll take you after all
Dumb Knight, I'm taking you down
Come on, your turn
Boss.
Here he is.
How dare you to come here?
I'm here,
because I want to solve the problem.
Come here.
Come closer.
You're not afraid of death?
Boss,
if he is really not afraid of death,
we can make his dream come true.
We can cut oh' his legs.
Or the hands.
Cut off his legs, hands...
and his dick to feed the crocodile.
You guys are really enjoying this, huh?
Ashin!
How dare you to come here!
Dad, let's take him out.
Master.
Shut up.
I know this asshole dealt drugs...
behind my back.
I also know that...
the whole mess was
because he beat you in first place.
Even so, it's the son of mine
that was beaten.
I can not bear to lose the face.
Let me ask you,
why did you come back...
when you knew I won't be easy on you?
'Cause I want a new start.
I want to go back to gymnastics.
Gymnastics?
That jumping and rolling thing?
You'll lose your hands and legs soon,
I would love to see you roll...
Shut up.
Nice,
gymnastics.
I will give you a year.
You have to win a gold medal...
within one year.
If not, you won't be bathing
in this one...
but that one.
Hey,
assemble here.
You're hand-picked gymnasts...
since you were kids.
Over times,
many chose to leave.
For those who chose to stay,
please respect your own choice,
and respect this sport.
Ashin.
One, two.
Higher.
One.
Hold it.
Two.
Old man,
are you okay?
Shut up!
Go, sprint!
I said sprint!
Time to quit smoking.
You're not capable of...
practicing individual event yet.
Get up from there.
Go to run on the field first.
Boss,
He looks exhausted.
Let' go.
Ashin,
I'll kill you this time.
Don't go! Go to hell!
Where did you put your balls?
Why don't you stop and fight?
Thank you for giving Ashin a chance.
Don't run so fast.
Half the reason is of you,
the other half is of he himself.
He is a really stubborn young man.
He's quite like the younger you.
Me?
Come on.
I'm much stronger than he is.
Yeah.
You were the best among the team.
Alas.
Strong? So what?
You still need to eat and shit.
He does want to do gymnastics.
Do you think he has prospects?
There is an international game
at the end of the year.
I am not sure if he can make it.
You're the coach!
You shouldn't say this.
Train him seriously.
Don't you lose my face.
Come on, you're a gang master.
How would I dare to lose your face?
Fine.
Quit it.
Look
I will not run away anymore
Face the calling
the blood running deep within my heart.
Stay focused.
I will not be astray again.
Hold my breath, never give up.
Slowly,
I walk toward my dream.
Forget it.
Don't mention the mess.
Let it go.
Focus on one thing only.
I'll do my best.
Leap as high as the sky.
Toward the brightest.
I'll breath harder.
Fly into another brilliant sky.
Perfect.
Landing.
Ashin
Ashin.
Come here.
Coach.
Put your hand here.
Touch it.
Think of it as a real horse.
Stroke its hair.
Talk to it:
Thank you.
We can do this sport...
only because of you.
Coach,
what are you doing?
Talking to it.
Man gymnastics events are:
Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse,
Still Rings
Vault, Parallel Bars, Horizontal bar
Six in total.
They are all performed
on cold facilities.
If you don't learn to feel them,
don't build relationships with them,
you can never overcome
your fears to them.
So, use your imagination.
Talk to it.
Get it?
So you and the coach have stroked...
the vault for an entire 10 minutes?
Yeah.
It is funny, isn't it?
No.
Does it make you feel better...
when thinking it as something alive?
Kind of.
But my biggest problem...
comes from myself.
If I don't overcome my left leg,
I can never get a good result.
Ashin.
What?
Actually, I envy you
because you're a gymnast.
Oh yeah?
Yes.
I was a swimmer.
Holy crap!
Really?
You must look great in swimming suit.
Hey,
I'm serious.
Fine.
Do you still swim?
Not anymore.
Why?
Ashin.
You must hang on.
You fight not only for yourself...
but for those who had dreams.
One more thing.
You have a message from 599.
She said:
Go for it!
I got it.
Brother,
dad is dying.
Mom wants us
to go home and change dad's clothes.
Dad?
Brother, what are you doing?
Dad said, if you feel like crying...
you can do handstand.
So the tears won't fall down.
This is it!
Add to what is needed.
Fill the short one to the right length.
Thank you for taking care of Ashin
while he's staying here.
Never mind.
As long as the problems are solved.
Ashin...
What are you doing here?
Why cant you just let me do gymnastics?
You want to see me live in hell again?
Ashin...
Why do you want to deprive me
of the chance to have a new life?
You want me to sell fruit again?
This is my life,
not yours.
Mrs. Lin...
Mrs. Lin...
Coach,
no matter what my mom said,
I will not leave the team this time.
Hold the shoes first.
The left one has special pad and sole
with just the right thickness.
So the lengths of your legs...
can become even.
I thought about this for a long time.
It's the only solution to your legs.
Thank you, coach.
Not me,
If there's anyone to thank,
it's your mom.
Do you know you had Polio?
She has been blaming herself for it.
She said it's her fault that...
led to your illness.
Thanks to her massaging
your leg everyday
since you were a kid,
or your left leg would wither...
even more seriously than it is now.
Do you get it?
Don't move.
Mom, why are you
massaging Brother's leg?
The constant massage
can make your brother grow up.
Here comes the good one.
Mom,
what's this?
Eat legs for better legs.
Your game is coming.
Frog legs can help you jump higher.
Mom...
I am not competing,
so I don't have to eat.
You used to say that...
you want to be a grown-up.
Eat this so you can be a grown-up.
See?
I don't want to.
Eat it.
Don't tease your younger brother.
Mom
I can't help you
Your older brother has
been fond of teasing you
Dad, please bless me...
to get A+ in my test this month,
and mom to be healthy,
and brother to win the Vault Gold Medal.
Don't make so many wishes.
Your dad will be exhausted.
I'll take care of them.
Kill them.
Come on, sprint. Sprint!
Sprint!
Nice!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to 1994 international
invitation gymnastics competition.
Let's give our warmest welcome...
to the finalists of Vault Event.
Mom, it's your first time
to see brother's game.
Yeah.
There're so many people.
Where's your brother?
Over there.
Dad,
Ashin's there.
You're in my way.
I can't see.
Where is he?
Our first contestant is from...
Chinese Taipei, Ho Zheng-Shu.
Nice!
Nice!
You got 9.5.
It's too early to congratulate me.
You havent jumped yet.
I don't think
I can get higher point than you.
I finally know that...
it's easy to surpass others.
What's difficult is to top oneself.
As a contestant,
I don't want you to win.
But as a friend, I hope...
you have the best performance.
This is Huasheng Telecom.
May I have your pager password?
You're not...
What happen to the previous girl?
You mean 599?
She has quit.
Are you Mr. Lin?
Yes, I am.
Do you want to hear it?
Yes.
Ashin,
it's nice to know you.
Because of you...
I made up my mind to quit my job.
I have great expectation about you.
You fight not only for yourself,
but for those who once had dreams.
Do you still remember
that message from 599?
She said:
If you still have a dream,
then go for it bravely.
I remember.
Yes.
Go for it.
The next contestant is from...
Chinese Taipei, Lin Yu-shin.
Ashin!
What's up?
and younger brother.
the first Vault Gold Medal.
as Ashin returned to gymnastic world,
he won the National Golden Medal
in Vault and Floor Exercise.
How's that?
Don't be so surprised.
Don't doubt,
that's me.
So that's what friends are like.
Can I have my bat back?
Are you going to jump or not?
You've been standing there for so long.
You've practiced for so long.
Aren't you ready for this?
Not yet.
Gymnast should always be ready.
You can do your moves at anytime.
Don't you remember?
Come on.
Go for this!
Go!
Ah!
Brother, come to help me!
Brother, hurry up!
Brother!
