10 04 44 02	Old Guo has been ill for so long
10 04 49 17	He always wanted to visit Europe 
	once in his life
10 04 54 03	See France, Italy, 
	ancient Rome...
10 05 02 13	Once, a Business Boss 
	invited us for dinner
10 05 07 11	He asked about 
	our family situation
10 05 12 22	I said my daughter lives in England
10 05 16 20	He asked whether 
	we ever visited her
10 05 20 13	I said no,
10 05 22 11	because we don't have passports
10 05 28 15	The boss is a kind man
10 05 32 23	He said he'd sort it out
10 05 40 02	Then he said : 
	" I can get you a visa...
10 05 43 21	...for Norway
10 05 48 04	Your daughter can come to Norway...
10 05 50 23	to pick you up."	
10 05 57 02	We didn't understand 
	the 'Schengen Visa' thing
10 06 02 16	After the dinner,  me and 
	Old Guo wondered...
10 06 08 20	How can we go to Norway 
	if we don't understand English ?
10 06 13 20	If Daughter doesn't 
	get us to England,
10 06 17 05	...where are we going to go ?
10 06 21 02	I never went to school...
10 06 23 05	I don't know where 
	all these countries are...
10 06 30 19	But in the end, the Boss managed 
	to get us visas to come here

11 06 57 01	Now all pills are gone
11 07 01 15	This one contained his paintings 
11 07 05 23	all gone too
11 07 17 00	In this one, 
	I got all the clothes
11 07 21 15	That's the books 
	he bought here
11 07 25 06	and the oil colour sticks
11 07 32 08	In this one, I have...
11 07 35 18	the filters for his breath hole
11 07 42 00	That's all we need to bring back

	Dialog 
11 09 06 04	Yes ?
11 09 08 04	Mum 
11 09 09 20	Oh, Xiaolu
11 09 11 17	- Where are you ?
	- I'm in London
11 09 14 17	What time is it there ?
11 09 17 23	Around 10 in the morning
11 09 20 20	Here it's 5:16 pm
11 09 23 08	- Are you cooking ?
	- I just started
11 09 26 20	Today we celebrate 
	Autumn moon festival
11 09 32 01	Your father is still 
	in his studio, painting
11 09 35 10	How is he ?
11 09 37 17	He's well

11 09 40 06	We're just finishing 
	editing the film
11 09 46 02	Which film ?
11 09 48 03	The film with you two in Europe
11 09 50 16	Oh !
11 09 52 02	Is it good ?
11 09 54 03	Quite interesting 
11 09 55 17	That's good

11 09 59 14	What did you think 
	about your trip, afterwards ?
11 10 04 06	What are you talking about ?
11 10 07 00	In Europe, we couldn't even talk. 
	We couldn't feel
11 10 12 03	Even if the West is a Wonderland...
11 10 15 08	...my home is better
11 10 18 18 	In China, we may have pollution
11 10 22 07	But living conditions, 
	the material side...
11 10 24 22	...are much better than in the West
11 10 27 18	What's dad's opinion on that ?
11 10 29 04	He said that in China 
	there is...
11 10 32 09	...too much demolishing 
	and rebuilding
11 10 35 11	and although the skyscrapers are
	 higher than in the West,
11 10 3919	...the History is lost
11 10 43 14	That's what he thinks
11 10 47 01	Ok then, Happy Moon Festival !
11 10 50 13	Say hello to Father
11 10 53 02	You take care of yourself
11 10 55 05	Don't worry about our health
11 10 58 10	Ok. Take care
11 11 01 09	Bye

NOTE ON TITLES AND TYPO

IN THIS FILM, THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF TITLES : 

1 - normal subtitles for spoken dialogs (Lucida Grande size 26 in original)

2 - texts superimposed over the image (across the lower middle of the screen), translations of  the dad's writing
	These are in italics.

3 - 'flashing cards' over black background, for the dad's thoughts. 
	These are in capitals, in the middle of the screen, in font size 32, and the rhythm of the flashing is as follows : alternating 20 frames of text and 5 frames of black. The last black should be 10 frames (sometimes it is only 5). 
	[The number of flashes depends on the length of the text - refer to original to double-check]

The original font used is Lucida Grande (plain)
