Episode 1
I'm finally in China.
Luo Man, I'm coming.
She should be here.
She must be.
Hello? Delivery? I'm not in the dorm right now, I'll be there soon.
Ting Ting, have you thought about what I said?
Please join! You sing so well at KTV (karaoke)!
Joining the band can help you discover your full potential.
Why start a band out of the blue? Do you have nothing else to do?
I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to shop.
How can I have time to join your band?
Ting Ting, you go shopping 5 times a week.
You just need to replace one of those times for practice.
No matter how persuasive you are, I won't join, Luo Man.
Ting Ting, just join us.
Hello, classmate!
Can you tell me where the administration office is?
Classmate?
Are you talking to me?
Yeah, I want to know where the administration office is.
It's my first day at school. I'm not used to the surroundings.
That building. Turn right and you're there.
Thank you. I'm Zhang Hao.
I'll be taking classes at the Language Center.
Nice meeting you.
That's right, I forgot to ask for your name.
F-F-Fan Bing Bing.
F-F-Fan Bing Bing? That's a cute name!
Okay.
He was actually talking to me?
Isn't this too expensive?
That has always been our price.
I didn't set it.
I didn't bring that much money.
Can you make it cheaper?
I've never seen someone bargain when paying school fees.
This isn't the market.
Besides, our school's dorm for international students
is cheaper than most universities.
Teacher, I'm here to pay my dorm fees.
Okay. 900.
Why is his only 900?
Because he's Chinese.
That is the price for the ordinary dorm.
Me too! I want to live in the ordinary dorm too!
Foreigners can't live in the ordinary dorm.
No, no, no I'm Chinese.
You see, both my parents are Chinese.
It's just that I was unlucky and was born in the US.
Not negotiable. You have an American passport.
Don't be like that. I can speak Chinese.
Look, my face says I'm all Chinese.
Since I'm Chinese, why do I have to live with foreigners?
I don't want that.
Even though I was born in America, but I don't feel like home there.
After getting off the plane today, I found the answer.
Even though it's my first time in China,
everything is so familiar to me.
It feels like I belong here.
But who knew that you guys would still see me as a foreigner?
Thinking about how every day, when I wake up,
I have to say "good morning" to my roommates,
but I want to say "zao shang hao!" (good morning in Chinese)
I feel so disappointed.
Jiejie (Older sister), can you understand my pain?
I know I can't blame you.
I just feel so down,
depressed, lonely, cold
Give me 900.
900?
Okay!
Thank you Jiejie!
Wait a minute.
Jiejie, did you know... this is my first time in China.
I find that the jiejies in China are very cute!
Thank you.
Miss, you don't have a lot of deliveries today.
Dage (older brother), do you think I have hands to sign?
Let me! Let me sign!
Thank you.
Let me, Ting Ting! Let's go.
Give me some boxes, Luo Man.
No need! How can I let you do such heavy lifting?
You just got your nails done.
Beautiful.
French highlights, it's just starting to become popular.
Yeah, only a beauty like you can keep up with the trends.
Stop complimenting me. I won't join the band no matter what you say.
It's enough that you fooled me into taking the Popular Music class.
No matter what happens, I won't join any more music groups.
I'm already so busy that I don't have time to shop.
You're thinking too much. Don't go if you don't want to.
Besides, there are almost enough people in the band already.
I'm joining, Li Xiu Qi is also joining.
Xiu Qi is joining too?
Yeah.
When he heard I was forming a band, he joined right away.
He plays the guitar very well.
During the weekends, he practices when there's nothing else to do. His foundations are first class.
Xiu Qi can play the guitar? How come I've never heard him talk about it?
He loves to keep a low profile.
But he begged me to find a female lead singer that would suit him well.
The performance will then be more interesting.
But who should I look for... ?
I think I should ask Li Na from the dorm next door?
Li Na sucks at singing.
If you're interested, I can join.
You?
Forget it.
You're always so busy that you can't even go shopping.
I'm helping a friend in need.
Are you sure?
I didn't force you.
If I say I'll go, I'll go.
Then let's go.
Hello? Li Xiu Qi? Wen Ting Ting is settled!
She actually wants to join? No way.
Ask if anyone in your dorm will join.
Ma Jun Cai? He won't be interested.
This isn't something that can be done by persuasion. I can't force him with a knife either.
Li Xiu Qi! Are you my friend or not? You can't even help with this little thing?!
Okay. I'll give it a try, okay?
What are you doing, Jun Cai?
Who is that?
It's me.
You?
What joke is this?
I registered on a social website,
and I need a profile picture.
I think this fits quite well.
I'll be surprised if you're not reported.
Aren't you interested in pop music?
Do you want to join a music band?
Music band? Our school has a band?
Yeah. Luo Man has one.
Brother Luo again?
I say, Xiu Qi, you're the student council president, and
you barely have time to study and sleep.
You still do things for her?
Yeah, try to understand me and help.
I really want to help you,
but you know me...
I have my club and fraternal liquor board.
I really don't have time for this useless practice.
It's good to join a band.
You can relieve you're stress from studying.
I don't have stress.
I divorced studying a long time ago.
Hello everyone!
You are my roommates then.
- You know him? - No.
Did the dorm manager say a new person was coming?
Never heard about it.
Student, sorry but I think you're in the wrong place.
No I'm not. I'm Zhang Hao.
From now on, we're roommates.
What's going on?
Let me ask.
Hey Bro, what's your major?
Chinese. My classes are at the Language Center.
Still learning Chinese when you're already good at it?
Language Exchange Center?
Isn't it the Institute of International Relations?
You're an international student.
That's right. I'm from New York.
America!
Shouldn't international students be staying at their own dorms?
Why is he living with us?
Yeah.
Because I don't have money,
I had to beg the teacher for most of the day to let me live here.
No money? You can study abroad if you have no money?
Don't you need guarantee fees or something like that?
Long story short, I don't have money,
but my family does.
Still rich.
Okay stop staring at him. It's impolite.
Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?
He looks so familiar.
Especially those eyes.
This is my first time welcoming a friend from America.
It's a small gift, but it comes with lots of affection.
- I have a knife. - No need for that.
I just learned how to slice a melon with one hand.
Let me demonstrate for you guys, okay?
Let's just use a knife.
Here, American.
Don't be modest.
- Here Xiu Qi. - It's okay.
So you spent all your savings
in order to find her?
This is the American spirit.
I really don't know what is sustaining you,
making you come here from half way across the globe.
A third of the globe.
I think she's my destined one.
When I first met her, I knew
that I would never forget her in this lifetime.
Everytime I think of her face, my heart goes
badump badump badump...
So touching.
She must have been very beautiful.
Not just beautiful, she's the type of girl that no man can reject.
She should be a student majoring in philosophy.
Philosophy student?
I know a lot of philosophy students. What's her name?
Luo Man.
- What?! - What?!
- Luo Man?! - Luo Man?!
You know her?
Are you sure it's Luo Man?
Luo Man?!
Nanyang University Philosophy Department's Luo Man?
Yeah, it's her! A few months ago, after I met her in Santorini,
she left without a word.
I think there must be a reason,
so I must ask her personally.
What did he say? Something ni? What is that?
An island in Greece.
But Luo Man never told me this.
Until now, she hasn't even been to Jiuzhaigou,
not to mention leaving the country.
There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.
Maybe not.
You don't understand women, I understand women.
They are unreasonable.
They can do anything.
Can I meet Luo Man? The sooner the better!
Yes, yes, yes I'll take you to meet her right away.
- Eat up. - Yeah!
This month's living expenses are not enough again.
Soon, I won't be able to eat my cute bread anymore.
But good thing
the salary for my new job is not bad.
It should be enough to buy 30 of these breads.
Over there.
Just who is the guy who wants to meet me?
Li Xiu Qi being all secretive.
What's he plotting?
Okay guys,
I want to meet her by myself.
Can you guys wait here?
- Sure. - Okay!
What is he doing?
Luo Man.
I finally get to meet you.
Luo Man!
Luo Man!
My bread!
Luo Man! Here! Come here!
Come here!
My bread!
- Xiu Qi! - Come here!
- Hurry! - Come here!
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize. Pay me for my bread and laundry expenses.
Okay.
But if I may ask,
are you the only Luo Man majoring in philosophy here?
That's right. I'm the only Luo Man.
How many times do you want me to repeat myself?
Wait. Is there a misunderstanding here?
Are you sure the one you want to find is in this school?
I'm sure I saw the name on the student handbook.
Student handbook?
This one?
Yeah, this one!
Luo Man, third year student, philosophy major.
The words and content are the same as the one I saw.
Are you sure this is yours?
How would I not recognize my own handbook?!
Luo Man, didn't you lose your handbook two months ago?
Oh. Right.
When I went to the airport to pick up my dad,
I bumped into this girl, and dropped my bag.
I quickly picked up my things, but when I came back, I found that it was missing.
But it's all fine. I got it back from the reception office.
Then according to what Luo Man is saying, the person who found Luo Man's student handbook
is the one Zhang Hao wants to find.
Do you know how to contact her?
No. She didn't leave any contact information.
Do you have a picture of her?
Let me see.
Let me see.
I met her for the first time three months ago in Santorini.
It should be around here.
The place where Mom and Dad came for their honeymoon.
Mom and I agreed to come here together when I grew up,
but I ended up coming alone.
This is the angle.
Nice view, right?
So cold.
So cold.
♪ When you try to squeeze me tight, ♪
♪ Everything feels so so right. ♪ -Is this a coincidence?
♪ Don't tell me no more lies and the reason why♪ -This is my Mom's favorite song when she was alive.
Never thought I could hear it here.
♪ Don't tell me no more lies and the reason why ♪

♪ But I realize, ♪
♪ Oh, I realize. ♪

♪ And I'll always be the same ♪

Thank you.
Hey!
Remember me?
We met earlier at Oia village.
Are you travelling alone?
Do you speak English?
Where are you from? China? Korea?
Do you speak any Mandarin?
Wait, wait...
Yes?
You know the song that you were singing...
it's "I'll Always Be The Same For You", right?
I just thought you... have a lovely voice.
So... do you want to go to dinner with me?
I wasn't singing for you.
Hey!
So um... there's this ship that goes to Mykonos every day.
It's called...
It's called Destiny.
And if we happen to bump into each other on the ship,
then it's really destiny, right?
Don't forget to check the name of the ship!
Thank you.
And then? Did you meet her?
Yes. It was a miracle.
I think it was fate.
Can you stop that?
And then where did you guys meet?
At the pier in Mykonos.
I waited for two whole days before she came.
That morning, I just got to the pier,
a ship was docking.
At that time, I couldn't believe my eyes.
I found her asking for the ship's name.
I realized that she remembered me and my words.
Excuse me!
What's the name of this boat?
Destiny.
Hey, good to see you again!
Why do you look so surprised?
Were you on the Destiny just now?
Wow.
That's unbelievable. I didn't think it would actually happen.
So... what do you think we should do now?
You know I think we should follow the call of our fate?
Elef̱thería.
Freedom.
You... are you Chinese?
That's great!
That is the name of the ship
and also the name of the captain.
Because he is the Captain so... um...
Anyway,
I'm Zhang Hao. 22 years old.
The boat everyone sees at the pier is called Destiny,
which means destiny.
The Captain named it in 1997 to support Athens in its bid for the 2004 Olympics.
The meaning is for the Olympics to return to its place of creation after 100 years.
But doesn't the name on the boat say Freedom?
The Captain has already passed away
and the boat was bought by a merchant who refurbished it.
But we can still see its original name on the boat.
What is this for?
Plain water has no taste, so I always add a piece of sugar.
You have so many tricks.
Well, I know you'd rather eat steak than seafood,
but I still don't know your name.
Are names important?
Of course. You are my destined one.
How can I not know your name?
I need to go to the restroom.
Nanyang University. Philosophy Department.
Luo Man.
We really are destined.
Even finding out your name was a coincidence.
No wonder you misunderstood.
But why didn't she tell you her real name?
Don't be discouraged,
I'm guessing she's a university student about our age.
There will be news if we ask around a bit.
Well, now you know what she looks like.
If you see her, please tell me, okay?
Okay. Let me see it again.
This woman... there is a big difference between her and Luo Man.
A big difference? Where?
Look. She's a beauty with elegance.
No wonder Zhang Hao pushed you into the lake after seeing your face.
You scared him.
- You! - Stop hitting!
Brother Luo, I'm still considering whether or not to join your band.
Don't forget that I'm a Pisces. I'm very sensitive.
You! Don't forget to pay me for my bread and laundry expenses.
I'm watching you!
Aiya!
Just join us.
It's great to have a preschool teacher who can play a musical instrument.
You can teach kids to play the piano and sing.
Such a beautiful picture.
I'm on diet.
I don't even have the strength to hold fried chicken.
I'm so hungry.
My head's full of pizza and fried chicken.
I'm not in the mood for anything else.
You can lose weight by joining the band.
Luo Man! Can you be more quiet?
Can't you see I'm studying?
Song Qing, do you want to join the band?
Are you under the impression that your life is too great?
Or are you missing a few brain cells?
According to 2010 governmental statistics,
from the sixth national census, the national population was 1,343,239,923.
Based on these stats, to become one of the top one percent elite of the population,
you must beat 1,329,807,513.77 people.
In such an intense competitive circumstance like this,
how could someone about to test in for her accounting license, like me, join a band?
I have no plans to squeeze into that top one percent.
I think it's pretty nice just to hang in the middle.
You think it's going to be easy to stay in the middle?
You'll have to beat fifty percent of 1,343,239,923 people,
which is 671 mil-
Song Qing, you're amazing at calculating.
Come and help me calculate Taobao. It's giving me a headache.[Taobao = Chinese online shopping website]
I'm going to the study room to read.
How come she just left?
Continue with your Taobao.
Luo Man, you know I joined the band because of Xiu Qi.
I know.
Then do you think there's a good chance between Xiu Qi and me?
You have to help me.
I only joined the band because you need members.
Okay, okay, I get it.
I still don't know if I'll be able to gather enough members.
I need 5, and I still short of 2 people now.
Xiu Qi, these are a few girls that my friends introduced me.
Not bad, huh?
Yeah, not bad.
Why don't you have any interest in girls?
I do.
Could it be that you are...
I'm editing my speech. Can you not bother me?
I'm back!
The American's back. Where did you run off to?
I went to the supermarket to buy a few things.
Look at this rug. Not bad, right?
It was cheap too.
Let's put it at the door.
We get your good intentions.
But this is a summer mat.
We use this to sleep.
Sleep on? Is it comfortable?
Tonight, take this and sleep on it.
Experience Chinese people's intelligence.
That's right. I want to find a place to work so that I can earn my living expenses.
Do you know any restaurants or book stores that are hiring?
I only have 30 yuan left.
I remember the library is hiring students for part-time jobs.
You can give that a try.
That's great. Thanks.
You don't smell it?
*** Min Qiang! Come down!
Come down.
*** Min Qiang, computer science major.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Zhang Hao, you're the first one in this dorm that dares to shake his hand.
Zhang Hao, I'm going to shower. Want to come?
Okay.
I'm coming too! I have a date tonight. I need to freshen up.
*** Min Qiang, a new roommate is here. How about taking on the challenge to shower?
It's enough to shower once a year.
This is my bottom line.
- This is our bathhouse. - Okay.
How come mine doesn't have water?
You didn't insert the shower card.
Shower card? What is that?
You have to spend money to buy a shower card in order to shower.
So it's like that.
- Here, come to my side. - Yeah!
American, nice body.
How do you maintain it?
Exercise.
Decrease your trips to the nightclub to drink, and you won't be like this.
I got it, Confidant Gege.
Why do you guys call him Confidant Ge?(Ge or Gege means older brother).
Is he older than everyone else?
Confidant Gege is his nickname.
Confidant Gege?
You see, he's smart
and also the president of the student council.
Students go to him not only to discuss their problems but also their worries.
Even when the dorm manager's daughter married badly,
she still had to discuss it with him or else she wouldn't be satisfied.
Xiu Qi, you are so warm-hearted.
Okay, stop fooling around.
Let's give you a scrub.
Here, big brother's gonna give you a scrub.
Sorry!
I didn't go to the wrong place.
Luo Man.
It's not strange for Brother Luo to be here.
Ma Jun Cai! Are you joining the band or not?!
I'm a sensitive Pisces. It's no use to threaten me.
You...
Zhang Hao.
No, no, no.
I have work tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day.
If I can't gather enough people, it'll be over.
Just wait and see.
Don't make me resort to extreme measures!
Luo Man, why don't you publicly recruit members like other clubs?
Maybe someone will join.
Good idea.
Why didn't you say this earlier? I'm leaving now! Bye!
Wait, the door's over there.
The dorm manager will catch me if I go through the front doors.
You don't know that girls can't enter the boy's dorms?
Leaving. Bye bye.
I keep telling you to call before you come.
Climbing around like this is too dangerous.
It's too bothersome to call. This is more convenient.
She is interesting.
Midnight. Lights out!
How do we go to the washroom?
There are lights in the hallway and washroom.
I see.
Looks like there's a lot I have to learn.
Look after me, Confidant Ge.
You!
Excuse me sir, can you take a picture for me?
Oh yeah, sure!
I'll be back.
Okay.
Okay, one, two, three!
There you go.
Thanks, man.
Sorry, do you need to take a picture for you two guys?
That will be great.
Come closer.
Thank you. Nice.
One, two, three.
This is Santorini's smallest church.
So beautiful. Like a painting.
Getting married here must be very joyful.
Yeah.
That's right. You didn't bring your cellphone, right?
If we get separated, we can meet up here.
Luo Man.
Sorry. What did you say?
Do you have something on your mind?
It's nothing.
Let's go.
When we were in front of the church,
if I kept on asking,
she might have told me what was on her mind.
- This is yours. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
I'm just early.
Just early.
She has never been late.
Did something happen?
So did she say where she was going,
or where she was gonna be, or did she leave any messages?
No.
Excuse me, have you seen this Chinese girl around here?
No.
Luo Man!
Luo Man!
I originally thought that if I came to Xiamen, I would be able to see you.
I will find you.
I will.
