I called him White Word Bird. 188 00:27:11,752 --> 00:27:13,517 Five years ago he fell madly in love 189 00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:18,496 with a boy from San Francisco who returned to Taiwan to study Chinese. 190 00:27:18,526 --> 00:27:23,563 After a while, the guy went back to America and Fu Yu lost his mind. 191 00:27:23,972 --> 00:27:27,305 He was taken to the psychiatric hospital in Taipei. 192 00:27:30,378 --> 00:27:34,247 These birds don't just fall in love. 193 00:27:35,031 --> 00:27:41,180 Once they find love it seems that the world always falls apart around them. 194 00:27:49,764 --> 00:27:57,234 This one... This one is called A-Feng. 195 00:27:57,243 --> 00:28:05,377 Among all these boys, his life history was the most odd and desolate one. 196 00:28:11,352 --> 00:28:16,120 This wild phoenix's mother was deaf and dumb. 197 00:28:16,524 --> 00:28:21,154 When she was 18 she was raped by armed thugs that have made her pregnant. 198 00:28:21,155 --> 00:28:23,655 She then gave birth to A-Feng. 199 00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:27,934 Once A-Feng was born, he was abandoned at the Lingguang Institute in Zhonghe. 200 00:28:29,504 --> 00:28:33,000 Since childhood A-Feng has shown to possess intelligence above average. 201 00:28:33,001 --> 00:28:35,843 When the priests tried to impart to him the catechism 202 00:28:35,844 --> 00:28:39,179 he looked at it once and then had it memorized. 203 00:28:40,348 --> 00:28:45,983 However this child was strange and rebellious and had mood swings. 204 00:28:46,497 --> 00:28:51,388 For no reason, he picked fights and made fun of kids in the hospital. 205 00:28:53,561 --> 00:29:01,031 He, at age sixteen, because he refused to participate in the mass, 206 00:29:01,032 --> 00:29:03,132 began to quarrel with the director. 207 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,567 Becoming angry, he took a holy figurine and smashed it to the ground, 208 00:29:07,568 --> 00:29:10,999 reducing it to pieces, and then was expelled from the Institute. 209 00:29:11,446 --> 00:29:13,711 He never went back. 210 00:29:29,364 --> 00:29:35,463 Once A-Feng entered New Park, he was just like a horse without a bridle. 211 00:29:36,471 --> 00:29:43,735 He walked right along his way, going back and forth the steps by the lilly pond, 212 00:29:43,945 --> 00:29:48,477 not sparing a glance for anybody, not yielding to anyone. 213 00:29:48,983 --> 00:29:53,912 Because he had a difficult temper even a kind person in the park 214 00:29:54,322 --> 00:29:56,722 wasn't quite up to approaching him. 215 00:29:57,058 --> 00:30:03,893 Until that year he was 18, how should I say... Fate caught up. 216 00:30:04,265 --> 00:30:06,756 He deliberately met up with his unlucky star. 217 00:30:07,502 --> 00:30:10,470 The guy was a big government official's son. 218 00:30:10,471 --> 00:30:13,604 His astrological sign was the dragon. People call him Dragon Prince. 219 00:30:14,842 --> 00:30:20,377 When they met there was a spark between the two that wouldn't be easily extinguished. 220 00:30:21,683 --> 00:30:24,745 But afterwards, Dragon Prince's parents stepped in, 221 00:30:24,746 --> 00:30:27,946 intent on cutting the connection between the two. 222 00:30:28,990 --> 00:30:31,190 Well... Afterwards, everything changed. 223 00:30:38,333 --> 00:30:44,427 Dragon Prince ran away from home all throughout Taipei in a frenzy. 224 00:30:45,406 --> 00:30:49,604 Finally, in the freezing New Year's Eve, 225 00:30:49,911 --> 00:30:53,108 inside that park, he once again found A-Feng. 226 00:30:56,651 --> 00:31:01,147 He begged him to come back with him but A-Feng rejected him. 227 00:31:01,155 --> 00:31:03,179 The two fought and struggled for a very long time. 228 00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:04,980 Let go! 229 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,760 Let go! 230 00:31:08,296 --> 00:31:10,161 Give me back my heart! 231 00:31:10,398 --> 00:31:13,464 Dragon Prince, with a knife in his hand stuck it into A-Feng's chest. 232 00:31:15,903 --> 00:31:20,169 A-Feng slumped to the ground in New Park 233 00:31:21,275 --> 00:31:26,235 with streams of warm blood gushing out of his chest all over. 234 00:32:09,757 --> 00:32:12,246 Well what happened afterwards? 235 00:32:17,131 --> 00:32:22,071 Afterwards, Dragon Prince sat down in the pool of blood, 236 00:32:23,004 --> 00:32:30,042 tightly embracing A-Feng and lost his mind. 237 00:32:55,970 --> 00:33:00,034 All right. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. 238 00:33:02,043 --> 00:33:05,700 I'll get a warm towel and clean clothes for you, OK? 239 00:33:05,780 --> 00:33:07,780 Thanks. 240 00:35:46,274 --> 00:35:50,009 - Buddy. - A-Qing. 241 00:35:50,778 --> 00:35:52,578 A-Qing. 242 00:36:04,425 --> 00:36:06,655 Come on, come on, try and catch me... 243 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,235 Old Guo, tomorrow I need to stop by Liuzhangli. 244 00:37:01,015 --> 00:37:03,873 It's my little brother's funeral. 245 00:37:07,221 --> 00:37:12,992 - Will you see your dad? - Probably... 246 00:37:16,931 --> 00:37:22,028 But this is Buddy's final trip...

The noise is killing me. 248 00:38:54,261 --> 00:39:00,694 Perhaps for my father, the departure of mother and his throwing me out of the house 249 00:39:02,837 --> 00:39:06,999 were not separate cases from the death of Buddy. 250 00:39:07,007 --> 00:39:09,771 We were all buried away in that yellow earth. 251 00:39:13,948 --> 00:39:18,845 After this chapter of sending off Buddy, it became clear to me that 252 00:39:20,654 --> 00:39:25,417 this house and I no longer had any connection to each other. 253 00:39:47,249 --> 00:39:54,047 Let's just capture what you look like normally.
