Only one kind of daughter
could live in this house:

:13:07
- obedient kind.
- Then I wish I wasn't your daughter!

:13:10
I wish you weren't my mom!
:13:15
Too late to change this.
:13:18
That's when I remembered
what we could never talk about.

:13:23
Then I wish I were dead...
:13:25
like them, the babies
that you killed in China!

:13:32
My mother had once told me
this strange story...

:13:34
what happened
to her in China.

:13:37
She said she was going to Chungking
to meet the man who was her husband.

:13:42
That was the first time I ever heard
she was married before my father.

:13:47
She barely had time to grab
her babies, twin girls.

:13:51
That was the first time
I heard she had other babies.

:14:02
I always try to picture
in my mind what really happened...

:14:07
but she would never explain.
:14:10
She would only say by the time
she reached Chungking...

:14:13
she had lost everything.
:14:15
And I said,
"Wait, what do you mean 'everything'?

:14:18
What happened
to those babies?"

:14:23
There were so many things about
my mother I never understood.

:14:27
This is the only one
I never forgave.

:14:32
The babies.
:14:35
You know?
Two babies?

:14:38
The babies? We all thought
that the babies had died.

:14:42
- But last month at a church picnic--
- You know...

:14:45
two babies your mother leave
on the roadside, in wartime?

:14:49
It's miracle,
but we find them.

:14:53
Yes! Can you imagine?
They still alive!

:14:58
What are you saying?
They're alive?
