Daqing's "vision"

[mecurtin]

troubadora's recent post about Daqing's timeline reminded me of a nagging question I have.


Toward the end of Ep. 12, Daqing is mind-controlled by Zheng Yi and gets the Dial and Awl for her, holding them in the process. The next time we see him is this scene:

"" (Watch on YouTube)

The subtitles for Daqing's audio-only "vision" or flashback are:

a. woman's voice, "Didn't I tell you to be quiet?" & crying child. "You're always screaming and crying."
b. Man's voice over them, "If you keep this up I'll leave you behind."
c. loud noise, woman's voice & crying in background, man's voice: "You're a boy, if you keep up the noise, I'll really leave."

Do we ever see a full version of whatever Daqing is hearing or remembering? My rewatch is only up to Ep.24, so while I don't remember anything from later that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Do any of you recognize either the man's or woman's voice?

What the heck is this about? What is going on?

The only way I can tie this into the plot in any way is if the crying boy is a young Zhao Yunlan, the woman some auntie or other caretaker (?), the man his father. Or maybe the woman is his mother. Either way, Daqing would be his childhood cat.
