Echoes of the Rainbow
Plot
.
Not long before Fang Fei leaves, Jin-Yi's grades start declining and he takes third place in a race he had hoped to win. One day he collapses suddenly after a typhoon nearly destroys the family's house, and his father takes him to the hospital, where he is diagnosed with leukemia. His parents search for a doctor who can cure him but find none, and his condition worsens until he has to remain in the hospital, where the nurses treat him poorly and extort money from his parents in exchange for basic care. Jin-Er, who spends much of his free time stealing trinkets around town, tries to offer them all to his brother in attempt to cheer him up, but Jin-Yi doesn't accept any of them. Fang Fei returns from the United States and visits him in the hospital, where they share their first kiss, but Jin-Yi dies shortly thereafter. Years later Jin-Er, narrating retrospectively, remarks that "time is the greatest thief". In the film's final scene, Jin-Er and his mother are shown visiting Jin-Yi's grave, and Jin-Er, now a teenager, recounts a lesson Jin-Yi had taught him about double rainbows.
