Stop fighting, stop it
I'll kill him!
Stop fighting, stop it
I'll kill him!
He said I have two fathers! I'll kill him!
Bastards! All of you!
You think I'm scared of you, huh?
Leave me alone
If not for me then think about Tuya
Leave me alone
Tuya! Where are you? Come quick!
Zhaya, Zhaya
See if your mother's back?
She's still not back
Keep looking, there's a cold snap today
I'm keeping a close watch
Zhaya
Zhaya. Get the sheep into the pen
Hurry
Who's that guy?
I told you to get the sheep into the pen
28, 29, 30, 31, 32
33, 34, 35, 36...
Zhaya, Zhaya
Zhaya, get me a bottle of wine
Yeah
Who is he? Can't you see for yourself?
He got drunk again
Give it here, go count the sheep
I'm staying
Go
Sarina, don't go, please, I got money
Look close, who's your Sarina?
No divorce, please, please don't go, okay?
Sarina, Sarina, Sarina
You done yet?
You got the wrong person
Looks like...
your wife's sleeping with another man
Might as well get divorced and get it the hell over with
Is Baorao asleep?
She's sleeping
Did Shenge get drunk again?
Got drunk, fell off his motorcycle
what a pain
Is he alright?
He'll live, wife ran off with others again
He thought I was his wife and grabbed me
I'm all tired out
Those two always have problems why are they always the fighting?
Who knows
His wife wants to leave him
I think they should just get divorce and be done with it
We lost three sheep today
We lost three
360 yuan per sheep, 3 sheep is how much?
Zhaya
What do we send you to school for?
Tuya
Your mom's tired
Take her shoes off. She's exhausted
Digging that well crippled your dad
There's no real man of the house anymore
So you've got to be a man now
Shenge is here
Don't talk to him
So, you sober?
Yeah, I'm sober, my wife came back, too
She told me to bring you these sheep
You can take your sheep back
Batoer said you lost three sheep while helping me
We don't want your sheep
My family will survive without three sheep
Take the sheep back, make your wife happy
So she won't run off again
With my wife
you think a few sheep will make her happy?
Already promised her a truck
so she would stay with me
Then sell the sheep and get the truck
Tuya
A flock this big isn't easy on your mom
Did your mom hit you?
No
If nobody hit you, then why the long face?
She won't let me talk to you
Tuya, If you really don't want the sheep guess I'll get my truck
Go get your truck
With a truck it'll only be easier for your wife to run off again
I know what you need
A man
Zhaya
Hurry up
In a sec
Let's go
The waterhole is low
The jujube leaves turned yellow from the dryness
It used to be one load a day and a 15km walk
Now it's two loads, which is 30 km
what are we going to do with no water?
I wanted to dig that well three years ago
Stop it, you hurt your leg before you could finish
Find a man to help carry the water
Look for a man? If I get a man, then what about you?
I'll live with my sister
She already has a bunch of kids
and her hasband died young
That would kill her
Shenge, Zhaya has been fighting at school
He beat some classmates up a few times
His teacher said you put him up to it
Few more fights and he'll be a man
What man, a few more fights and he'll be a thug
If somebody bullies you, what would you do?
You want to bully me? Just try
Tuya, where are you going?
To buy hay
You're dressed so pretty
I thought you were going to see your groom
I'll help you carry the hay
consider it an apology, okay?
It's not much of an apology
I'm going to sell everything
I got and buy a truck
become a boss
Going to sell this three wheeler too
it'll belong to someone else's soon
Don't let it go to waste
I can't afford your transport fee
I don't want your money
I'm going to be rich, do good deeds
You're not going to be rich you're just going nuts
You got yourself a screw loose
Why do you say that?
Your wife doesn't love you
she loves the truck, she loves the money
What's wrong with loving money and truck?
With a truck I'll have money and she'll have to love me, right?
Men make it, women spend it
That's the deal, right?
Just wait until I get a truck, get rich
The tables will turn...
I'll marry a young pretty college student
Enough already
So, what are you still doing with Batoer?
That's my business
You're still young, a good woman
not bad looking either
You're just going to keep on struggling
What's your plan?
What plan, he's still my husband
He's your husband because you married him
You marry someone else And someone else will be your man
In the end it just a wedding certificate?
Stop the car
You go ahead, I'll pay you later
Go ahead
Shenge
I'm ok, it's just my leg's caught
Shenge, are you ok?
I'm ok, my leg's caught
No, no, my leg's stuck
Tuya, Tuya. You alright?
Is anyone hurt?
Shenge's leg is caught
Hurry
One, two, one, two
Tuya, he's out, phew!
Your sister in law got some big problems
How bad is it?
She might not be able to do hard labor
riding or herding
What kind of shepherd is that?
It's from long term lumbar fatigue
This time the sudden downward pressure
Caused a serious lumbar dislocation
If it continues to slip further
Her lower legs might become paralyzed
She'd be just like Batoer then
Who's Batoer?
My brother
No one on earth would tell their sister in law to get a divorce
But you and Batoer should get divorced
I can take care of him
I have six kids
I can handle another mouth to feed
But if you collapse
And there's four more mouths
if it doesn't kill me, then it would
What did Batoer say?
Batoer said he just wants to run to the desert
die and be done with it
I said: Hey, if you could stand and walk
Me and Tuya would be tickled pink
The only way I'll leave him is
if I end up worse than him
Isn't it bad enough as it is?
Give me a drink
Can you drink here? It's fine
Then drink, poor Tuya
It'll numb the pain a bit
After my husband died my back hurt too
Somebody gave me a bottle of liquor
I drank it in one gulp
I slept for three whole days
Afterwards if my back hurt
I'd have a drink
Later even if my back didn't hurt I'd still drink
I'm raising six by myself
With no man
If I didn't drink
I really don't know how I would get by
Zhaya, I used to be good at riding
got first place a bunch of times
Where did my parents go?
They went to town to take care of sth
What thing? Something
Are they getting a divorce?
This is a voluntary divorce
So family property issues
Will be negotiated between both parties
Correct? Yes
Since this is the case
the court won't intervene
However Batoer is physically disabled
Regarding his future care
Who will be responsible?
Batoer will stay with me
The two kids with Tuya
Batoer will stay with me, too
Tuya, what are you thinking?
Batoer will stay with me
Then why get divorced?
I will find a man to help me take care of Batoer
Is that man going to agree?
Will he be willing?
Regardless, if he'll help me with Batoer
I'll marry him
Hello
Where's Tuya's house?
Who's asking?
You're Tuya, right?
What is it?
Come down
Everyone says
fate brings lovers together
We are here to propose on behalf of Puribu
A courthouse friend told us about you
We're here cause we admire your character
That's right
We thought taking care of Batoer
Could have been discussed further
Of course we could take Batoer
And place him in an elderly home
But then there are both his parents
Plus his three children
Plus you and your two kids
There's nine in total
Under Puribu's circumstances this is too difficult
I hope you can understand our hardship
What do you say Uncle Nashen?
How about it?
Tuya?
No matter the case, I am taking Batoer
Didn't the court people tell you?
How do we get to Tuya's?
Who's asking?
We came to propose?
She lives over there
Batoer, do you think I'm old?
You're not old
I am old
There were six groups today
but no one wanted me
It's me they didn't want
Well if they want me, they've to want you
This afternoon there was a man that came to propose
I thought it was for himself
Finally I realized it was for his father
How old is he?
He's 64, a retired teacher
He has a pension, insurance
and a large three bedroom apartment
He can also tutor Baorao and Zhaya
Maybe they can even go to college someday
Should I do it?
Don't marry him
Shenge
Shenge, Shenge
Zhaya, go get your mother, hurry
Tuya Mom, Mom
More suitors again
Mom
Mom. Tuya
Tuya, I got my new truck
Mom, Shenge bought a new truck
Shenge is gonna take me out for a ride!
Tuya, it's my new truck
I'm going out with Shenge!
Hello, comrades!
Hello Chairman
Hard work my comrades
Serve the people
So, is she happy now?
With this truck, she can ran off with whoever she wants for all I care
Stop boasting, others have planes you know?
I'll buy a plane, too
My wife wants me to work with this other guy
I'll be the driver and he'll bring in jobs
Oh yeah, what will your wife do?
She enjoys the good life
Tuya
I don't want to be a herdsman anymore
I'm gonna move soon
No matter where I go
Just remember, you have me as a friend
I don't have much else
If you ever need to use this truck
You just tell me
Next year I'll move all the hay for your family
Free transport, no money
you count on it
Tuya
I'm Baolier
Who?
Baolier
Which Baolier?
Recognize me now?
I was your classmate in middle school, Baolier
Baolier
Baolier, what are you doing here?
I came to look for oil
I'm in the oil business now
How have you been all this times?
Alright. You?
I'm alright, too
The first well I dug had no oil
I lost 1,000,000 yuan
And half of my hair
The second well, no oil
I owed a ton of money
Third well, still no oil
Without a second thought my wife divorced me
I took out a loan and gave out small, private loans
to dig my fifth well
No, no, no, it was my fourth well
Still no oil
I had enough and climbed to the top of the oil derrick
Just when I was about to jump
My god, the sky was so blue that day
I paused for a moment
The sky suddenly changed
Black clouds began to bellow up
I looked down again
Low and behold oil was spurting out of my well
From that I came up with my life motto
People kill each other everyday
But you can't commit suicide
Live, live! Life is good, we should live?
My brother here
you can't tell by looking at him now
But he used to be admired by everyone
Back during the big Mongolian wrestling competition
There were 512 competitors
He plowed right through everyone
And took first place
You cleaned my clock pretty good too
You remember?
You also competed?
Wasn't it because I give Tuya a 15 cent soda
You knocked me over and beat me pretty bad
You see this tooth, it's still crooked
Your tooth was always crooked
This one time
I went with this official to Macao to gamble
It had to do with the oil business
Suddenly I heard the Mongolian Music
I was so moved
that tears just started coming down
I have been all over the world
But it's home that's close to my heart
it's hometown people who are good
I've had delicacies of all kinds
still the simple diet of home is best
Mongolian roast lamb, is so good
You only think of food
You know what it's like for a man to move around trying to make a living?
You know what home means to him?
Tuya, Batoer, I drink to you two
You are the idols of my youth
Tonight let's drink and rest, cheers
Cheers
Out there people are so cold
Coming home was the right thing to do
Baolier, Baolier
Baolier
Baolier, you're up early?
I've been up for a while
Batoer got hurt digging this well, right?
He hurt himself before he reached the water
It can only be used as a reservoir now
How many loads do you carry a day?
About two or three loads
That's tough
How deep do you have to dig to get any water here?
If you're thinking about digging for oil here
You'll just loose another million
I actually came to propose to you
Why don't you go inside and have some milk tea
As soon as I heard you got a divorce
I came right back right away
You still haven't sobered up yet?
I was never drunk
I've waited 17 years to say this
Do you know how long 17 years is?
Think about it
I'll wait for your response
I've found this
nursing home for Batoer
It's the best in town
First see if he likes it Then we can go from there
Zhaya and Baorao will be able to attend top schools
I've already spoken with all the principals over there
Afterwards you can come to live with me
See if you can get used to it
Anyways, that's after everyone is taken care of
We can discuss future plans later
What do you say? Huh, Baoter?
I've never been this far away before
In the front section of the nursing home are the welfare residents
Welfare residents are from
different govenment offices
Which are supported by the state
Private residents live in the back section of the home
They're usually wealthy company heads
Or their relatives and such
Therefore their facilities are better than the front section's
This is a standard room, it has beds
Friends and relatives can stay on visits
And can order meals over the phone
There is hot water for showering 24 hours a day
The environment and sanitation are rather nice
It so happens that today's is one of resident's birthday
Let me introduce everyone.
Today we have a new friend
His name is
Batoer
Batoer is Mr. Bao's relative
He's my brother
Oh, he's your brother
Today Baoter has happened upon Mr. Chang's birthday
Let's all invite Batoer to give us a little performance
Let's welcome
What are you doing here?
I am waiting for someone
Waiting for who?
I'm looking for my truck
Your truck
It's gone
My wife said she was going with the car dealer to do some paper work
Now the car dealer is missing
How long has it been?
Seven, eight days
Then she ran off with somebody else
Can you find your truck here?
I'm keeping watch here
They could have buried my truck
How are you going to sleep tonight?
I got my overcoat
I'll just lean up against my horse
That way I won't freeze
What about food?
I'm not really in the mood to eat
Shenge, take this money
I don't need it
Come on, take it
Tuya, Tuya. Who's this?
This is my neighbor
Does he need money? No, It's okay
Take it, come on No, no need
I said take it
I'm Baolier. I'm Tuya's old classmate
If you have a problem just give me a call
Tuya, I'll wait for you in the car
Why don't you go see Batoer at the nursing home tonight?
You can sleep there and look for your truck later
What? Batoer's in a nursing home
So, who's this guy?
What about Zhaya and Baorao?
They're sleeping in the car
Take this money
I don't want it
Take it, go see Batoer at the nursing home
And get a good night rest
If you freeze out here no one can help you
I'm gotta go
Tuya
Are you running off with that guy?
I'm not your wife
We're getting married
Do you think we can stop for a second
My head hurts
We're still about 500 or 600 km
away from my house in the capital
Why don't we first find a hotel and stay a night
Wait for you to get better then leave tomorrow
Is it easy to find?
Very easy
I've pretty much stayed at all the hotels on this road
When my wife left
She took everything in the house with her
She didn't even leave me any cutlery or plates
After I struck oil
She showed up wanting to get remarried
I flat out said no
How is she now?
She opened a little shop of her own
My daughter lives with her
Every month I still send them money
Now I live alone in a big country house
it's cold, quiet and lonely
Later on when you and your kids move in
our house will be lively
I'll be able to provide
a good life for you
Where is Zhaya?
What are you smiling about?
I'm not quite used to you without your glasses
You'll get used to it over time
Where are the kids?
They're sleeping next door
I haven't drank or ridden a horse in three years
Drink
No wife, no kids Who are you saving up for?
My wife ran off with somebody else
Because she loves them, she love money
Your wife is with someone else
but she cares for you, loves you
Tuya left with the kids
I wonder where they are now
Doesn't matter they are all sleeping by now
Baolier, promise me one thing
I promise
Let Batoer live with us
everything else doesn't matter
How can I do that?
I have a reputation to uphold
I would be the laughing stock
How could I face people on the street?
Putting Batoer in that nursing home
is the same as killing him
It's the same thing
Just like letting Batoer stay with us
would be like killing me
Tuya, why don't we give him some money
Let him go back and build a house
Find someone to take care of him
Or better yet! Find him a wife
Then he can live as he likes
I don't know Baolier very well
How he'll treat her, I don't know either
Good stuff
Aren't you being a bit aggressive?
If I'm not aggressive tonight then I'm not really a man, am I?
You want to take advantage of me just try and see
Mom, mom
What is it?
Mom, what are you doing?
I'm coming right over
If you really want to do this with a woman
it's better when she's willing
I'll stay with you, but in the future let my sister stay with Dad
Why do you want that?
I'm afraid that someone bully you
Who is it?
This is Shenge. I'm a friend of Tuya
What is it?
Batoer is hurt, Batoer is hurt
Tell Tuya to come to the emergency room quick!
Is he gonna make it?
Batoer slit his wrists
Tell Tuya to come to the phone
Tuya is sleeping with the kids
The hospital won't save him for free
No matter what, they got to save him first
Hurry and put Tuya on the phone
Where are you all?
Hello, hello
Hello
Tell Tuya to come to the phone
Hello Hello
My signal is bad, I can't hear you
The hospital won't save him for free
Hello
Looking for love tonight, Mr?
Tuya
Last night I did something that I will regret for the rest of my life
Tuya, Tuya
Shenge
Mom, Shenge is coming
Tuya, Tuya
Stop the car, Baolier, stop the car
Shenge
Tuya
Shenge, stop the car
Shenge
Get in the car, get in the car
Shenge, What's going on?
Get in the car, don't worry about it just get in with the kids
Get in the car!
Shenge!
You listen to me
If Batoer doesn't live
I'm coming back to fix you up
I'm going to drive back there and save him
You bring the horse back, you got that?
What are you doing?
Get lost
So you really want to die, huh?
Live is so hard?
But, dying is easy, right?
Who are you trying to scare here?
You think dying is some great skill is that it?
If I could I'd have done it already
But now you want to snatch the prize!
Liquor alone won't do the job, or will it?
Watch, watch, just watch
This entire family, who's scared of death?
Anyone here afraid to die?
Take it! Go on
Take it!
Come on
you're the adult, you got the experience
Be an example for the baby first
Drink
Drink! Take it and drink it
Look, we have already done more than our best
You still haven't paid we've already treated him
Your family members are here now
If you don't pay, we'll take a big loss
ER service totals to more than 3,400 yuan
I'll give you my horse, how's that?
You got to be joking, listen
If you don't pay
You won't walk out of the hospital gate
A little scared, then?
Don't want to die after all?
Then you can watch me die
Come on, drink, drink for Daddy
Come on, drink, drink
Drink, drink
None of you are allowed to die
Mr. Ma, a relative has already paid the bill
Who paid for it?
Batoer's brother, Baolier
Mom, mom
Mom
Shenge is digging a well behind our house
Hurry come see
Who told you to dig a well here?
Is digging a well illegal?
Who agreed to this? Batoer did
Don't believe me go and ask Batoer
Shenge is digging a well in front of our house
Batoer
Shenge is digging a well in front of our house
I know, Zhaya told me
You know and you don't care?
He doesn't want money
So he can dig one in front of our house?
Why doesn't he go dig it in front of his house?
He has good intentions
Shenge, good intentions? What good intentions?
What if he gets hurt just like you?
How should I return the favor?
How many people can I support?
We can't live without water
Lao Lu, back up
My tea is the tastiest!
Zhaya, It's your mom's milk that's tasty
Lao Lu what's that crap out your mouth?
It isn't about you, what are you getting worked up about?
Stop talking, my mom's coming
Tuya, you still have the tastiest milk?
Ma Go away, traitor
I'm not a traitor Pull! Pull quickly
I'm not a traitor!
I'm not a traitor, I'm not!
You shouldn't always send the kids out there
It's not very polite?
When has Shenge done anything that works out?
His wife left him for another man he lost his truck
And he's made our house a complete mess
The fact that I haven't yelled at him is enough
Now I should be polite?
After the well is finished we can use it too
Still no water yet
Right?
Zhaya. This isn't your milk tea
This is your mom's milk tea
Zhaya, Zhaya
It's you
It's over, your milk tea isn't going to help
I want to dig this well, but I can't
Why not?
We hit a slate of bluestone
Is there anything you can do?
You tell me
Pull, pull quick
Pull, hurry up, hurry
Get down
We did it, we did it
We really did it!
Shenge is going to spend all of the little money he has
If so we should sell a dozen or so sheep, to compensate him
Right now the sheep have no fat we'll lose money if we sell them
If we had water I'd eat the difference
With water, I'd be fine
Mom, mom, Shenge got blown up
Shenge blew up
Who got blown up?
Shenge got blown up
Shenge
He's gonna make it. He's just knocked out
Shenge, Shenge
It's fine, he'll make it. He'll live
What did you say? It's fine, he'll live
Shenge, Shenge
He'll live, calm down
Shenge
Tuya, marry me
I've always wanted to tell you
I'm just not good enough
I'm digging the well so I can have you by my side
You wanted to do it, no one asked you to
Let's just say
You never said it
I'll say this once, so listen up
Stop digging the well
Anything else but that, I have to do
No well, no water. None of us will survive
What if you cripple yourself?
If I am crippled then it was by choice
I won't blame you you needn't to take care of me
What are you scared of?
What if you die?
God decides life and death if I die I deserve it
I'm blessed with good fortune I couldn't die if I wanted
I won't die, I'm going to dig that well
Whatever, it's your life
if you want to die nobody can stop you
Get down
I said make the fuse longer
you just don't listen you're gonna get killed
A shorter fuse is cheaper Saving is going to kill you
Tuya Ma, Ma
Tuya! Your milk tea is really great
Look, your mom doesn't want you anymore
I'll teach you another move
Pull the rope quickly, hurry up
Mom, mom
It's the 58th explosion
Mom, it's the 58th explosion
Eat up, keep growing, eat up, ok
So you can help your mother
Eat this, see? Watch
Where's Shenge?
Shenge's in the well
Let me down
The fuse is already lit, you want to die?
I was about to light it and you come down?
Was it true what you said the other day?
What did I say?
Can you really divorce your wife?
I can
You're not afraid of your wife?
No
What about Batoer?
I'll support Batoer
After you get divorced come back and propose
Ok
Batoer, Batoer Yeah?
Shenge proposed
Digging the well was the proposal
I knew all along
His wife's so vicious
will she let him get a divorce?
We'll see after the well is finished
Where's Shenge?
He ran off last night, you didn't know?
What's he up to?
Very late last night
His friend came and told him he had seen his wife in town
He left without a word and he wasn't even fully dressed
Did he mention finishing the well?
Finishing? We were being paid on credit
We can't do anything about it either
He only listens to his wife
Everyone knows
he's scared of his wife
Tuya How on earth did you get out here?
Zhaya still hasn't come back
They said there's a snowstorm coming
Hurry up and find him
if you don't he'll freeze to death
Tuya
Wear your leather coat
or you'll freeze too
Zhaya
Zhaya, Zhaya
Zhaya
Why didn't you leave?
There are wolves
Don't be scared
if wolves do come, Mama will eat them
Mama's taking you home
Let's go
Forget about the sheep
Let's go
Puribu has made a written pledge
to support Batoer
Showing the sincerity of his proposal
If both parties
don't have any further demands
Then we can settle this marriage
of providence and favor
Good
We'll schedule it
on a lucky and convenient day
Then I'll take you and Puribu
to file formal marriage forms, how's that?
Fine
Then you all decide on a date
As long as Batoer is with me
everything else is up to you
Then let's say the first day
two months from now
I'll accompany you to arrange the wedding
how's that?
Good
I don't drink, I have never drank
He's been a good boy his whole life
Then I'll drink for both of us
Batoer, has the truck come yet?
Where? Outside
Look carefully
I'm keeping a close watch
Baorao
You sell the sheep yet?
Yes, I kept a lamb for Baorao to play with
Has the truck come? Nope
Zhaya! Has the truck come yet?
It's coming, I can see it
It might be broken. It stopped again
What the hell are you doing?
Digging a well for Tuya's
For who? Tuya, Tuya
I rented a drilling truck I sold my truck too
Didn't you go looking for your wife?
If I didn't find her how could I get a divorce?
Tuya, let me explain
I'm moving. Get lost
Go to hell!
Go back to your wife, then?
If I didn't find her how could I get divorced?
We got divorced
Look, the divorce certificate
Didn't you say to come for you after the divorce?
I'm getting married
I'm moving
Wherever you go I'll follow
(Mongolian Marriage Blessing Song)
Batoer, take it easy Leave me alone
You should be taking care of your wife
If you don't take care of her I'll kick your ass!
It's your wedding day let Batoer have his fill
It's your wedding day let him drink
If not for me then think about Tuya
Tuya, Zhaya is fighting
Where? Outside
You better leave me alone
You leave me alone from now, got it?
Zhaya, what do you think you're doing?
He said I have two fathers!
Stop fighting
I'll kill him Stop it
I'll kill him
Bastards. All of you!
Leave me alone
You think I'm scared of you, right?
You, don't touch me
Batoer Shenge
Later, I'll fix you up real good
You think I'm scared of you?
You leave me alone, you got that?
Tuya, Tuya
Where are you?
Come quick
Tuya, come quick
