First act

[Curtain rises]

[voiceover] I haven't seen my mother for years. My father said that he had gone far away, but I often heard her voice on the radio. Mom is so close to me and so far away. Her voice is still so sweet ...

[Fiona Fang] (Radio) Well, listeners, today we talked about the topic of raising children together in the column "Mom's Night Talk". I have to say goodbye to you because of the time. At the same time, our all-day broadcast is over and friends are listening. I hope our program can spend a wonderful evening with you. Finally, I send you an old song "Mother by Candlelight". Good night to you.

Music is playing in the studio. The host packed his manuscript, pulled down his headphones, stretched himself and was ready to leave the studio. At this moment, "Ding ..." The phone rang, and Fiona Fang habitually picked up the phone and took out a pen to prepare the record. ]

[Origin] (immature, low and timid) Hello, hello, is that you ... Mom? Mom!

[Fiona Fang] (doubtfully) Who are you looking for, son?

[Yuanyuan] (eager, slightly sad) I'm ... I'm looking for my mother. Are you your mother?

[Fiona Fang] (smiling, surprised) Oh, I can't find my mother. Are you ... ...

[Yuanyuan] (eager) I am Yuanyuan!

[Fiona Fang] Origin? Where are you?

On the other end of the phone, Yuanyuan's cry was like autumn wind and autumn rain, but it was beating Fiona Fang's heart. ]

[Fiona Fang] Good boy, stop crying. Tell mom, where are you?

[Origin]No. Sunshine Road 1 1. I was so scared at home alone that I didn't eat.

At the other end of the phone, the host quickly wrote down the address of the little girl with professional sensitivity. ]

[Fiona Fang] Where is your father?

I have no idea. Dad is often away from home. I usually cook instant noodles myself. It's twelve o'clock at night, and I had finished my homework before my father came back. Dad said, mom has gone far away, and I haven't seen her for many years. If only my mother was with me at night, even for one night! My composition is still waiting for my parents to check and sign it!

[Fiona Fang] Good boy, how did you know to dial this number?

I listen to the program "Mom's Night Talk" hosted by you every night. Your voice sounds so kind and soft, just like ...

[Fiona Fang] (with concern) Like what?

Like my mother. I think your voice is just a silk thread, which firmly binds me to my distant mother. I am a kite, aren't I, Mom?

[Fiona Fang] What, what did you call me?

[Yuan Yuan] Mom! ..... (apologetically) I'm sorry, I shouldn't call people mom casually.

[Fiona Fang] (with a sincere smile) No, please call me mom. Well, from now on, I can be your mother once, but you haven't answered your mother's question-how did you make this call?

I wrote down this phone number when I was listening to the program. I've been meaning to call you. Please help me find my mother, even if she can't go home, even if I have a few words with her. Now, I have made progress in my study, and I won two prizes a few days ago! Do you think mom will go home when she hears my phone call?

[Fiona Fang] (Encouragingly) Yes, I will.

I finally got up the courage to make a phone call today, but the hotline couldn't get through. Just got through. You already said good night to us. I have taken up a lot of your precious time. Sorry, auntie.

[Fiona Fang] Call me mom, kid.

[Yuan Yuan] Mom!

[Fiona Fang] Tell you what, you wait for me at home. I'm going to be your "temporary mother" and I'll leave when your family comes. How's it going?

Oh, my God, is this true? Hurry up! I'm scared in the street alone.

[Fiona Fang] What? On the street? Aren't you at home?

I made a public phone call at Grandpa Wang's telephone booth in the street and spent all my lucky money. The telephone at home is turned off and the electricity is cut off.

[Fiona Fang] Why?

Dad didn't pay the telephone and electricity bills. He only takes money to play cards and drink.

[Fiona Fang] (angrily and nervously)No. Sunshine Road 1 1? I'll be right there. You go home and wait for me! There is such a father in the world! Hang up, pack and return. )

Act ii

[Half an hour later, round home. ]

[The little girl is prone on the dining table, staring at an alarm clock in front of her. The hour hand has pointed to one o'clock in the morning, but the little girl is not sleepy. ]

[In this small room of less than 10 square meter, mottled walls and a few pieces of broken furniture covered with oil stains seem to fill a little empty cabin. The wax flame on the table jumped as if chasing something. ]

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. ]

[Yuanyuan] (opens the door hurriedly) Auntie? Who do you want to speak to?

[Fiona Fang] I am a temporary mother.

[Yuan Yuan] Mom? Come in, it's cold outside.

[Fiona Fang] (After looking around the room for a week, he sits down) Yuanyuan, hasn't your father come back yet?

(disapprovingly) No, Mom, I'm starving.

[Fiona Fang] (stroking Yuanyuan's head) I'll get you something to eat right away. Yuanyuan, what do you like to eat?

[Yuanyuan] (Disappointed) There is only instant noodles left at home.

[Fiona Fang] (looking at his watch) Oh, it's two o'clock in the morning. I can't buy anything at midnight. To tell you the truth, I still have two boiled eggs in my backpack. I have to make egg noodles for you. (Take the eggs. )

Mom, I'll show you the way. (With a wax head, go into the kitchen with Fiona Fang. )

[Fiona Fang is busy in the kitchen. Yuanyuan holds a candle lamp in one hand and blocks the wind in the other, illuminating her mother. Mother skillfully makes a fire, boils water and washes vegetables. Below, Yuanyuan shuttles around her mother like a cheerful bird, trying to illuminate every corner in front of her eyes. By candlelight, mother and daughter form a picture of love. ]

Suddenly, there was heavy footsteps on the stairs outside the door, and a black shadow stumbled upstairs. I was about to knock at the door, but I was stopped by the sound in the room. He sat quietly on the concrete floor in front of the door and listened quietly. And all this, the two busy people in the room are completely unaware of it.

[Fiona Fang] Oh, our "work" is finished! (end the bowl, into the living room. )

[Yuanyuan] (coming out of the kitchen at once) Mom, sit here! (Mother and daughter sit down. )

[Yuanyuan] Mom, please eat eggs!

[Fiona Fang] You eat, I'm not hungry.

No, you must eat this egg first, or I won't eat it!

[Fiona Fang] (after thinking) Send it. (eat eggs. )

What a good boy! (Mother and daughter smile at each other. )

Yuanyuan wolfed down the noodles. Looking at the child, Fiona Fang couldn't help saying to himself, "My daughter is so old, isn't she? What kind of person is she? " ? I really don't remember. "Yuanyuan stopped chopsticks. ]

You have a daughter, aunt?

[Fiona Fang] (Sadly) Five years ago, she also went far, far away. At that time, she couldn't even scream at her mother.

[Fiona Fang] Are you as old as me now?

[Fiona Fang] What's your name?

Li Yuanyuan, auntie.

[Fiona Fang] Call me "Mom"! Mom, no one has called me "mom" for a long time.

Yes, Mom!

[Outside, the ghost pulled out a crumpled cigarette from the darkness and laboriously lit it with a match. The flame of the match reflected his face. What kind of face is this-dark and full of metal gray, full of alcohol, twisted muscles, and dull eyes seem to be drowned by wandering smoke. He leaned his unkempt hair against the door panel and continued to listen. ]

[In the house, when Yuan Yuan finished eating. Yuan Fangzheng, with his chin in his left hand, stared at the candlelight, still immersed in memories. ]

[Yuan Yuan] (softly) Mom, mom!

[Fiona Fang] (Awakening) Oh, are you finished?

[Yuanyuan] (satisfactorily) Well (mysteriously) Mom, do you know what day it is today? (Fiona Fang shakes his head. )

Today ... is my birthday! I'm glad my mother is with me.

[Fiona Fang] Mom should treat you to a cake.

No, no, eating eggs is good enough. I haven't even eaten eggs for my birthday before!

[Fiona Fang] Then let's make a wish. (Then, close your eyes, and Yuan Yuan follows very piously. )

At the beginning of prayer, the candle struggled to burn out. But no one stopped praying. There is a melodious happy birthday melody in the night sky. When the melody disappeared, the match shouted and lit a new candle. ]

Mom, what did you wish for?

[Fiona Fang] I hope my daughter will make progress in her studies. Don't worry about me!

Is it me or her?

[Fiona Fang] Both.

It's a pity that your father is not you. (Silence for a moment) Dad never cares about me. Several times the teacher asked the parents to sign the exercise book, but my father didn't come back all night. I copied his handwriting and signed it. As a result, the teacher severely criticized me and said that I was a dishonest child. I really dare not say to the teacher: I don't have a mother, but I have a father who is worse than nothing.

[Fiona Fang] Son, you can't say that. What parents don't love their children? You are your father's own flesh and blood. How could he not love you?

[Yuan Yuan] (firmly) No, he is not qualified to love me! Unqualified! Mom, do you know what he does all day? (Jumping to the kitchen cabinet with tears in her eyes and opening the cupboard door) Mom, what do you think this is? ! This is his only property! His penis! (squatting and complaining. )

[Fiona Fang] (walks up to him in surprise) Does your father like drinking so much?

He is an alcoholic! He either went home to sleep drunk outside; Don't just get drunk at home and stare at some broken photos. I rubbed his back, and he scolded me, "Don't worry about it, dead old woman!" " "Then you punched me. I couldn't stand it several times. I ran away from home. The teacher asked him to come to me, but he said, "I wish I were dead!" " "

[Fiona Fang] Just now you said photos. What pictures?

[Yuanyuan] (Picking out some old photos from the bottle pile) This is the woman!

[Fiona Fang] (Picking up the photo and looking at it, he was shocked)? This is not me.

[Yuanyuan] (exclaiming) Is that you? !

[Fiona Fang] (realizing a slip of the tongue) One of my colleagues.

Why does dad always stare at the photos of your colleagues?

[Fiona Fang] This is ... (It's hard to say) I should go back. Yuanyuan, mom does one last thing for you: bring your exercise book and I'll sign it for you. (slumped in a chair, tears streaming down his face. )

Great! Mom signed it for me! (takes out his exercise book) Hey, Mom, why are you crying?

[Fiona Fang] Call me aunt! Holding back his grief, he took his exercise book and prepared to sign it. Yuan held his hand. )

[Yuanyuan] Ah ... Auntie, the teacher said that this composition should be read to parents before it can be signed.

[Fiona Fang] (sighs) Well, read it.

No, I'll recite a paragraph for you, OK? (Background music: Cai Guoqing's lead singer "The Story in My Heart")' I don't have a mother, and my father said that she went far away. I haven't heard of my mother's voice, but I believe her voice must be very sweet, even better than Aunt Juping's. I think my mother must be very beautiful, even more beautiful than simple but elegant mother. Mom, I have a wish that one day you can come back to me from far away, even if you only stay for one day, you can sign my exercise book, you can help me study, you can see my performance at the school art festival on TV, and you can receive a bunch of carnations from me. Mom will be happy ... (background music only) Mom, how is my composition?

[Fiona Fang] I ... (After a long silence, I solemnly signed my name in my exercise book, picked up my coat and backpack, and walked to the door step by step. )

Mom, are you leaving? Mom!

[Fiona Fang] Lei Lei me. ...

[She couldn't hold back some kind of grief any longer, and finally she burst into tears and ran quickly to the door. When she opened the door, a thunder accompanied by lightning tore the night sky instantly, and she hit a shadow. Under the lightning, a face with blue fangs scared Fiona Fang to run back to the house with a scream of "Ah", holding Yuanyuan in one hand and pointing to the shadow in the other. The mother and daughter trembled so much that they could hardly speak-]

[Fiona Fang] You, who are you? What do you want?

[Shadow walks into the room slowly and suddenly kneels down. The candlelight in the room suddenly lit up his already tearful face. ]

[Jianping] Fiona Fang, don't go! Don't go! ! I can't live without you. I'm sorry for my children!

Outside the window, countless tears have been shed in the night sky, and the whole world is getting wet. ]

[Fiona Fang] Jianping-Is it really you? I want to hug my arm. ) No, that's impossible! No way!

[Jianping] Fiona Fang, don't go!

[Fiona Fang] (slumped in a chair) The world is too small.

[Jianping] Fiona Fang, don't go. Listen to me. Five years ago, after we broke up, Lei Lei and I moved here.

(Curiously) Dad, who is Lei Lei?

Jianping is your real name.

[Fiona Fang] Yuanyuan, go to the back room and sleep first. Yuanyuan poured two glasses of water, put them on the table and returned them. )

[Jianping] After moving here, I lived alone with her and finally brought her up. Children are more sensible every day, but I can't throw away the bottle. I'm not afraid of your jokes. My stomach was cut off because of drinking. I'm in a hurry! -I don't like people, and ghosts don't like ghosts; This house is not like home, and the nest is not like a nest-every time I get home, my daughter never says a word to me, and my heart is empty. I beat children, throw things, get drunk early and drink late. What kind of life do I live? !

[Fiona Fang] That's enough, stop complaining! Li Jianping, do you know why I broke up with you in the first place?

[Jianping] (lowers his head in shame) Drinking.

[Fiona Fang] Did you just hear Yuanyuan and me talking?

[Jianping] (silently nodding) Sorry.

[Fiona Fang] What are you going to do, son? (Pack your clothes and bags and get ready to go)

[Jianping] ... don't go, I ... (urgent)

[Fiona Fang] (hysterical) I gave you five years!

[Jianping] Are you still waiting for me?

[Fiona Fang] (very calm) No, the past is for children.

[Jianping] Can't it be for the children now? This family can't live without you.

[Fiona Fang] (looking at the back room and thinking for a moment) What qualifications do you have?

[Jianping] No, I surrender unconditionally.

[Fiona Fang] (hysterically) But I-have-have-(soon calmed down. Yuanyuan will live with me from now on. I'm just the baby's temporary mother. I want to see how you prove yourself as a father!

[Jianping] Do you ... agree?

[Fiona Fang] Give us both a piece of evidence.

[Jianping] (stands up, rushes to the table, suddenly raises a water glass and tries to fall down) Oh, my God-

[Fiona Fang] Jianping, you ... (Holding Jianping's arm with Yuanyuan rushing out of the back room)

[Is it giving up? Is it forward? On a rainy night, there was another thunder. ]

[Jianping] (hysterically) Look at me and see the proof! ! ! I spilled a glass of water on my head! )

【 When the thunderstorm gradually subsided and the three of them smiled at each other, Mother by Candlelight sounded again at the dawn of a new day. ]
