You must be Chloe.
Yes I am.
Come in please.
Chloe, would you like something to drink?
Coffee? Tea?
Water?
Tea is fine.
Ok.
This place is beautiful.
That spiral staircase...
is absolutely stunning.
Oh, a piano!
Sean.
Hi, how you doing?
What's your name again?
Sean.
Sean...
Auntie Chen tells me
that everyone around here lives in mansions, villas
with massive lawns.
This area is seriously posh.
Well this house isn't actually ours.
My Mom works here as a maid
and the homeowner is out of town
and asked us to look after the place,
so i invited you here.
So you don't own this place.
No, no.
I live in the countryside in a real area.
We came here for work.
Then that beautiful car outside isn't yours either.
The bicycle outside is mine.
Bicycle!
You're having a laugh.
It's not a joke.
It's the truth.
My son Sean is a very kind boy.
Listen Sean.
You're not exactly top tier in the dating game.
I'm a catch.
You're an embarrassment!
Who's going to marry you!
Wait do you want your tea to go?
No!
Who wants to drink your peasant tea!
This happens every time.
None of these blind dates work out.
Can we just stop this nonsense?
Sean,
for your future happiness,
we have to think long term.
Plus, what if the perfect girl is the next one.
Alright then, Mom.
Let me bring you some cake.
Thanks.
Here you go.
Are you their help?
Yeah, I am.
Do you need anything else?
Just let me know.
It's okay.
Sean.
Sean!
Hi, how you doing?
Not bad...
Nice.
Sit down.
Here.
No I'm alright.
I'm Brooke.
Nice to meet you.
I'm happy, so happy with your situation.
When we get married,
I want a lot of babies.
And we can travel around the world
to Las Vegas. Germany. Africa, Los……
Wait,
I came here on a bicycle.
I don't have the money to travel.
Are you joking?
No this house isn't even mine.
My Mom works here as a maid.
A maid?
Yes, you know the person that brought you just this.
So I need to help your mom?
Yes it's our culture.
Oh my gosh!
You liar!
Are you here for a date or a fight?
Learn some manners.
What a clown!
Have a seat.
Mom,
I'm exhausted.
Can we please stop doing this?
I'm sorry, dear.
In this society
no one wants to date a brokie. Money rules
You're already busy enough as a director in my company.
You don't need to worry about me so much.
Thank you, honey.
I really want you to find someone who cares about you.
Not anything else.
How about let's keep trying?
Okay?
The next fiscal quarter
is our busy season.
The goals that I've set for everyone are a lot higher and a lot tougher.
But I believe everyone can do it.
I really believe in you guys.
Is that okay with everyone?
Yes!
Okay sounds good.
Sean,
your dad left early.
I'll be responsible for your lifelong happiness.
Mom,
I know it's been very hard raising me alone,
so that's why I've worked so hard to try give you a good life.
To make you happy tomorrow I promise I'll meet another one.
You matured a lot, Sean.
I believe in you.
Thank you.
You must be Lily.
Yes.
Very nice to see you.
Likewise.
Is it hard for you to drive over here?
No, the address was easy to spot.
Come.
Thank you.
Sean!
Sean!
Have a seat here.
Sean!
Hi, how are you doing?
Good, how are you?
Good.
I'm Lily.
Auntie Wang introduced me.
Nice to meet you. Have a seat.
Lily,
let me be straightforward.
I don't have a house nor a car.
This house actually belongs to my Mom's employer.
She's over there working as a maid.
She's the one who let you in.
Auntie.
Hi Lily,
can I get you something?
Why don't you take a rest?
This job must be very demanding.
Lily,
if you're here to judge how poor we are,
we should just call it and save us some time.
I'll walk you out.
That's not what I mean.
You see, we're still young
so we can work hard
to provide our parents a better retirement life.
So before I go,
here's a little something for you.
Thank you, so nice of you.
Auntie Wang said you've been feeling tired lately
so I thought this would make a perfect gift.
That's so thoughtful of you.
Anytime. That's the least I can do.
Hope I can help you.
Thanks a lot.
Lily,
when I told you early on our blind date that I have no money
I was so surprised
and thankful that you actually didn't mind.
Those things are not important to me.
I think kindness is more important than wealth.
I guess in today's society
only Falun Gong practitioners are able to do that.
In our belief we aspire for a higher moral compass.
Truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.
And these are the universal values the Falun Gong community
has been spreading worldwide for 32 years.
