:54:00
He said, "Li...
:54:02
do you have a grandmother?"
:54:04
I said, "Yes."
:54:05
"She died."
:54:07
You figure it out.
:54:09
"I stay home, she doesn't die."
:54:11
I go to Chinkei,
she dies immediately.
:54:14
I told the chief,
"My grandmother has died...
:54:18
so I have to go home
to take care of things."
:54:21
He said, "What? If you go home,
who performs?"
:54:25
I said, "But who will take care
of my grandmother?"
:54:27
He said, "Go. Get Ko Onglai.
:54:28
Go get Ko Onglai
to take care of things."
:54:31
So I asked Onglai to go back
to take care of things.
:54:35
By the time I got home,
after the performance...
:54:39
her body was stiff.
:54:41
It was well after midnight when
I started cooking rice for offerings.
:54:46
Then, slowly, I straightened out
her stiff body, still lying on the bed.
:54:52
I thought, "It's so late...
:54:55
let's wait till dawn
to worry about the funeral."
:55:00
The next day I asked someone
to go tell my father the news.
:55:03
He said my stepmother
was seriously ill...
:55:06
so he couldn't come.
:55:08
He told me to just do...
:55:09
whatever's done in the hills...
:55:12
so we just buried her.
:55:14
That's how I took care...
:55:16
of my grandmother's funeral.
:55:24
The mountains are green
The waters clear
:55:28
How beautiful the sights
:55:33
To walk slowly
through the green...
:55:39
To walk slowly through the green
and let thoughts wander
:55:57
The high mountains
and dramatic peaks
