To die for money is a man's business...
:34:04
...but to die for food?
That's for the birds. Is it worth it?
:34:08
There's truth to the saying. But your life
has been devoted to the art of cooking.
:34:12
What a pity to just let it go.
:34:14
People today are so insensitive.
:34:17
They can't appreciate
the art of exquisite dining.
:34:20
Chinese cuisine has traveled
to Taiwan for 40 years.
:34:23
And just like the rivers
that eventually flow into the sea...
:34:28
...it's all the same in the end.
:34:30
Even a mess of slop can pass for
"Joy Luck Dragon Phoenix."
:34:34
What more can I say?
:34:36
What is "pity"?
:34:39
Only when a heart feels dissatisfied
can it feel pity.
:34:43
Fortunately, I don't plan on wasting
my whole life on this stuff.
:34:49
Miss Chu.
:34:51
Please help me to convince your father
not to retire.
:34:54
Dad, you plan on retiring?
:34:58
It's his own business.
He can make his own decision.
:35:12
Master Chu, are you thinking of
opening your own restaurant?
:35:18
Be sure to let me know. I'll follow you.
:35:25
I see that Mr. Chu worries a lot
about his daughters.
:35:30
-lsn't that parenting?
-It's harder for a single man.
:35:35
It's been so many years.
:35:37
When did Mrs. Chu die?
:35:40
When Jia-Ning was 4 years old,
about 16 years ago.
:35:43
A widower usually has a short life.
:35:46
Why didn't he remarry?
:35:48
Maybe because of the children.
:35:52
He needs to wise up.
He's raising his daughters for others.
:35:55
Only the ones nobody wants
end up with you.
:35:58
If you were so wise, you wouldn't be
haranguing over my divorce.
