:04:05
How cute.
:04:06
What a nice big head
and round face.
:04:09
Come!
:04:11
Tienlu, let grandpa hold you.
:04:18
To speak of man's fortunes--
:04:21
My father was married...
:04:23
into my mother's home,
losing his own family name.
:04:27
When I was born...
:04:29
my maternal grandparents...
:04:31
who went by
the ancient traditions...
:04:36
had my fortune read
by a fortune-teller...
:04:38
who said that...
:04:40
my fortune was a tough one.
:04:44
To change things, I had to change
the way I called my parents--
:04:48
so I should call
my father "uncle"...
:04:51
and my mother "aunt."
:04:54
This is how we did things
in the old days...
:04:58
all through the advice
of fortune-tellers.
:05:02
In the days
of theJapanese occupation...
:05:05
births had to be registered
within one month.
:05:08
My father,
whose name was Ko...
:05:11
went and registered me
as Ko Tienlu.
:05:17
But right after that...
:05:18
my maternal grandfather went
and registered me as Li Tienlu.
:05:23
The police said,
"You can't do that.
:05:25
His father's last name is Ko,
so his last name should also be Ko.
:05:29
If you call him Li...
:05:31
it's like writing a composition
with the wrong title."
:05:34
That made my grandfather
real mad.
:05:37
But, he thought,
if he were to insist...
:05:40
that would really create a feud.
:05:42
The man who witnessed...
:05:43
the original agreement...
:05:46
that gave my father in marriage
to my mother's family, came to help.
:05:52
His name was Li Yinhok.
:05:54
A real just man.
:05:59
He advised my father...
