Aftershock (2010)

Jingchu Zhang: Fang Deng, Wang Deng

Quotes 

• Li Yuanni : So who took care of you after you gave birth? What about the child's father?

  Fang Deng : He left the country. I lost touch with him.

  Li Yuanni : Didn't you ask someone to help find him?

  Fang Deng : He didn't want me anymore. What's the point?

• Fang Deng : [tearfully]  Mom, how have you managed all these years?

  Li Yuanni : I've been doing quite alright.

  Fang Deng : How many 30 years are there in a woman's lifetime? Why did you do that?

  Li Yuanni : Really, I've been doing quite alright. If I'd instead led a carefree life, I would be letting you down even more.

  Fang Deng : Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. From the first moment I set eyes on Fang Da, I started to hate myself. He is my little brother... how wonderful that he has survived. Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've tortured you for 32 years.

• Fang Deng : [to foster father]  All these years, you have been asking me about this issue. After the earthquake, my little brother and I were both trapped under the rubble. They said it was possible to save only one of us. My mom said, "Save little brother." These three words... keep ringing in my ears.

  [tearing up] 

  Fang Deng : Dad, it's not that I don't remember. It's that I'm unable to forget.
