[00:00.500]My dear schoolmates,

[00:01.767]It’s such a pleasure to be here with all of you

[00:04.048]On a plane back to where we were brought together,

[00:06.405]to where old friends, roommates, couples…

[00:08.790]share precious memories.

[00:10.230]The plane is taking off now!

[00:13.907]1 plane then another,

[00:16.310]and then 9 planes, then another

[00:19.715]and then 13 planes and another, (19 planes) and another,

[00:24.034]22, 24, 29, 32, 38, 38, 38,38,38,38,38,38,38,30, 30,30, 38 planes.

[00:34.525]Ladies and Gentlemen, if you look out your windows, dreams and hopes from the past are laid.

[00:41.663]And the sun is getting much tender,

[00:45.052]Celebrating our dreams never fade!

[00:51.739]Lookin' out the window at the world underneath.

[00:54.509]And it jogs my memories, the buildings and lawn

[00:58.313]Lookin' out the window.

[00:59.901]Down there more cherry trees

[01:01.351]And out the window we see...

[01:03.011]A place we all know below!

[01:05.898]Is this on? Oh, it's on. Sorry, everyone. Hi!

[01:09.334]On graduation, we failed to exchange goodbyes.

[01:12.131]So we wrote down this letters to read when we gather.

[01:15.513]Here together we are and I’m passing the jar!

[01:18.966]For the days out of sight, for the dreams that are forever bright!

[01:23.056]So pick out your own letter! Pass the jar down! Cause…

[01:27.385]Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere,

[01:33.292]in the middle of who knows where (who knows where),

[01:37.079]there you'll find...

[01:41.218]Something in the middle of nowhere,

[01:46.670]in the middle of clear blue air, you've found your heart,

[01:51.432]but left a part of you behind.

[01:56.189]Nick and I fell in love on campus

[01:58.336]When I wrote this letter, honestly I was afraid

[02:00.438]after graduation we would soon drift apart

[02:03.363]But we didn't, in spite of all the ups and downs along our way,

[02:07.772]still we can lie on the lawn, chatting, laughing, crying,

[02:13.066]till the night falls or the day starts.

[02:15.428]Ladies and Gentleman, if you look out your windows,

[02:18.462]you won't wanna miss this, a place that we all miss!

[02:22.199]Somewhere in the middle of nowhere,

[02:27.210]in the middle of who knows where, there you'll find!

[02:35.806]Something in the middle of nowhere,

[02:41.013]in the middle of clear blue air,

[02:44.641]you've found your heart and left a part of you behind.

[02:50.910]Everyone's drinking and comparing stories.

[02:53.893]Where'd you stay? What'd you do?

[02:55.793]Also we joke about our once-in-a-lifetime experiences in the "bubbles".

[02:59.396]I still remember once you forgot to turn on the silent mode in online meeting,

[03:03.459]and yelled in the dorm ...

[03:06.898]Somewhere in between the place of life and work and where you're going something makes you stop and notice and you're finally in the moment!

[03:13.573]Somewhere in the middle of nowhere,

[03:18.998]In the middle of who knows where (who knows where) there you'll find,

[03:27.266]Something in the middle of nowhere,

[03:32.728]In the middle of clear blue air, you've found your heart, but left a part of you behind.

[03:41.393]Ladies and Gentleman put your seats back, and tray tables up.

[03:44.763]Right below us is the homeland where we grew up.

[03:48.056]Coming 'round, pass the field then the wheels touch the ground,

[03:51.451]taxi in we're all cheering we're down,

[03:54.100]Thanking everyone, thank you for getting on our board,

[03:58.183]Hugging him, hugging her 'cause we're home again, pass the gate up the stairs, and we're there!

[04:04.710]【重聚完成】

[04:05.167]HANNAH (spoken):

[04:05.612]“Beulah and I graduated in 2022.

[04:08.554]We didn’t even gather at the ceremony.

[04:10.856]But we still keep in touch though we are far apart.

[04:13.702]Beulah- My good old chum, have you heard about the alumni reunion plan?”

[04:16.802]BEULAH (spoken):

[04:17.249]“Of course, Hannah.”

[04:18.071]HANNAH (spoken):

[04:18.213]What about revisiting the campus together and taking some belated graduation photos?

[04:22.621]BEULAH (spoken):

[04:22.733]In no way will I miss the chance this time

[04:25.069]The last batch of alumni has just arrived today.

[04:27.547]Nothing is more precious than we are here again.

[04:30.401]On the eastern coast of China, and on a road called Handan

[04:33.919]Is our second hometown

[04:35.624]Are the lights in 3108 still all night on?

[04:38.677]Are the kitties before the dormitory still safe and sound?

[04:41.836]If only we were forever young.

[04:44.444]Tonight we miss what is gone,

[04:46.847]but we also commemorate what we found.

[04:52.358]You are here

[04:55.424]On the start of a moment

[04:58.144]On the edge of the world

[05:01.204]where the river meets the sea

[05:05.213]Here on the edge of the Pacific

[05:09.841]Lies a memory in between

[05:14.305]Back and future

[05:16.219]Take it forever, take it forever

[05:18.829]Take it forever, take it forever (Back and future)

[05:21.723]Take it forever, take it forever

[05:24.591]Take it forever, take it forever (Back and future)

[05:27.460]Take it forever, take it forever

[05:30.267]Take it forever, take it forever

[05:33.379]Welcome to the fire, welcome to the stars,

[05:35.966]A kiss, a farewell and whatever’s in between

[05:38.506]To the ones who’ve left:

[05:40.012]you’re never truly gone

[05:41.663]Our passion’s in the eyes and the music’s always on

[05:44.315]To the growth and the pains and the people from the planes

[05:47.109]4 years

[05:47.850]31 faculties

[05:48.848]and 9000 graduates！

[05:50.585]When the sun is setting

[05:51.674]and the world has come ashore (Take it forever, take it forever)

[05:52.954]If you’re hopin’ for a harbour,

[05:54.216]then you’ll find an open door (Take it forever, take it forever)

[05:55.661]In the winter from the water

[05:57.052]to whatever’s in the waves (Take it forever, take it forever)

[05:58.525]To the ones who return from away

[06:00.452]we say:
