All man will die
The difference is how you choose to die
We'll be arriving in Guangzhou soon
Please take care of your own belongings
We'll change to a connecting
boat to shore
Please take care of
your own belongings
Attention please
Quickly, search the luggage over there
You guys, over here
Come over here
Put the crates up there
Go, open it
Excuse me sir,
do you have an invitation?
Sorry, I don't have one
Then, you are...
Sir, If you don't have
an invitation...
I'm from Nanyang
A friend of Gao Jian-Fu
My mistake, Please this way
Gao, quite the Tiger
Great!
Thank you. Come on, Brother Liao
We'll take a photo together
All set Big Brother
Lord Li
Honour us and take a photograph
with us
Come, come on, Big Brother
Closer, get closer
Great!
Excuse me Sir.
I'm terribly sorry
It's alright
I'm from Nanyang,
but I'm not a revolutionary
Cut the chatter, get over here
Tang Tsai Congee
Tang Tsai Congee
What did you say?
The City of Ice
You're from Harbin
No
Malaya, Pulau Pinang.
Also known as Penang
The gentleman in the room is
Lord Li Zhun; the Minister of Marine
That is my father
I mean the one who is
talking to Lord Li
My name is Fang Wei-Ru
Congee, Tang Tsai Congee
That's not right!
Don t touch my clothes
The search for revolutionaries
has come upon me
I will not allow you to
search my stuff today
Quiet, who refuses to be searched?
Everything has to be searched
Hey girlie
Is the Tang Tsai congee hot?
It's hot, it's hot
Don't worry about that woman,
someone's getting off the boat over there
Hey you, come back
I'm just having a bowl of congee
Give me a bowl
Sure thing. Please go in and
have a seat, just a quick wait
These barricades were set up
just two days ago
The Chairman is very anxious
He told us to come fetch you
I bet it was that
Li Zhun's order
That way has been blocked
We need to think of another way
They're going to kill that
'Old Fart' tonight
You well know
how to enjoy life
I've been up before the sunrise
and still haven't had
a decent meal
I'm just having some congee,
nothing else
Nonsense
Get back in line
What about my bowl of congee
Nonsense
Go, quickly
Little girlie. Yes?
Still got any congee?
Yes, yes
Give me some
Sure thing
Cheers
Come on, come, come
Here's the food
Wait
Who brought you here?
I...
I...
You want to be killed?
Alright, that's enough
My shoulder is numb,
I can't move anymore
Who said you can assassinate
at your father's birthday party
The punishment for assassinating an IO
is death sentence for your whole family
Just because your father
belongs to the Gang,
you think you can get away
with it?
It's still numb
Who ordered you to do it?
Gao Jian-Fu or Pan Da-Wei?
You know them?
No one ordered me
and they wouldn't let me join in
I saw you milling ink for Gao
He's my Master,
who teaches me to paint
I was just at the studio
looking for him
they said he came here
Then I'll go back
and wait for him
I'll go too
Wei-Ru
Brother Wei, you're back
This is Mr Luo from Malaya
Luo Zhung-Huo
Nice to meet you
Come in first
Please
so, you're Mr Pan Da-Wei
Exactly
That's great
I stored some luggage
here earlier
Here is a letter
from Mr Sun for you
This Mr Sun Wen is...
You don't know him?
Aren't you Pan Da-Wei of
the People's News?
Then you should recognize
this painting
This painting 'Wilted Chrysanthumum'
was your gift to Mr Sun
He asked me to bring it along
to Guangzhou, to find you
Come
The Mr Sun you mentioned
is Sun Yat-Sin?
I knew you would return tonight
Where are the guns?
I brought them back
How's your situation?
Bullseye at a hundred paces
it wasn't even 10 meters
such a big target and
he couldn't even hit him
Master, is Ah-Fai okay?
Just a mere flesh wound
We took him to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place
Well, I'll go back then
Yes, go back
It is quite late
Just around the corner
is her Dad's turf
Somebody will take care of her
Goodbye Brother Luo,
goodbye Master and Brother Wei
Weren't you the one dancing
with Wei-Ru?
Exactly, I am Luo Zhong-Huo
It's getting late already
Right, and I still haven't
found a place to stay
If you don't mind, stay here
Please
Why are you doing this?
The painting is authentic
and it's also Mr Sun's hand-writing
But, he may not be authentic
We'll wait and see
All barricades into Guangzhou
are under heavy scrutiny
lt'd be very difficult for
any weapon to pass through
It was ordered by Ke-Jiang
to stop all assassinations
before the rebellion
We don't want to give them
any early warning
Li Zhun has spoiled
our previous actions
If I had a gun with me tonight
Li Zhun would be dead by now
Then you become tomorrow's headline
Master Painter, Revolutionary Assassin
So what?
It's your birthday today,
and I get a gift from you?
That's not right
You're still being cordial with me?
That bullet was meant for...
My Lord
My men recognizes the assassin
he is from Long-Gui Tong
Even if it was a gangland argument
it would still involve the Police
Don't worry
we will investigate this till
it's all clear
Thank you for your concern,
Lord Li
Liao will escort you home No need
Let him take care of
the situation here
I've got men of my own
Alright Lord, take care
Raise the sedan
You mentioned;
Long-Gui Tong earlier...
I didn't want Lord Li to be startled
I've thought about it
they knew, the Master of Guang-Xing Tong
was hosting his birthday banquet
If any other Tongs dare to
cause trouble
then they wouldn't survive
in this city anymore
I agree.
So you mean...
the Revolutionaries
That bullet was definitely
not meant for you
Wei-Ru
where did you come back from?
Dad
A proper young lady shouldn't
be on the streets so late
Didn't you host your birthday
banquet tonight?
I was with some classmates
having whelks by the river
Big brother
the account books are here
Yes
Brother Liao
I'm dead tired,
don't bother me anymore
I heard there was an assassin
I saw you dancing with someone
Where did you go after the gunshot?
Why are you questioning me
like my Dad?
I took off when the Lion Dance began
Who likes to watch those old,
stuffy things?
Brother Liao, this is your chance
to be promoted and get rich
Just think about it,
you're the Third In-Charge
of Guang-Xing Tong,
and a Police Inspector
If you were to apprehend the assassin
you would be well rewarded
by my Dad and that Lord Li
How did you know we haven't
caught the assassin yet?
If the assassin was caught,
you wouldn't be so gloomy
I'm going to sleep, goodnight
Mr Luo, come and take a look
What do you think,
I painted it with this
Where is my ink pad?
I returned to join the rebellion
I can help with transporting weapons
and communication
Good morning, Brother Luo
Morning
Should you go help Wei-Ru first?
The students will be here soon
Yes
Brother Luo you know
how to Dim Mak?
Is it that a person can't move
after being touched?
That is just an old wives' tale
The body has 8 meridians, 12 vessels,
over a thousand accu-points
if any accu-points is stagnant,
health would be affected
that's not fiction,
that's traditional Chinese medicine
You know Chinese medicine as well?
The weapons shipped in from Japan
was all thrown overboard by
a guy named Chao-something
Come
I heard there was a search
on the boat
That Chao-somebody opened the window
and threw out lots
and lots of bullets into the sea
Who told you that?
And also, the funds from Nanyang
haven't arrived yet
Master and Brother Wei were talking
this morning, and they seemed troubled
I have returned to join the rebellion
If there is no money,
how do we start a rebellion
Brother Luo
if you were able to get some money
then you would be trusted
by Master and Brother Wei?
I get some money?
Yes, get it from my Dad
After all, his money comes
to him easily
Opium, gambling,
he'll do whatever that's harmful
Why don't we get it from him?
And do some charity for him
Mr Sun mentioned it before,
getting money from the wealthy
is a short-cut
Master has tried to ask my dad
for money
He didn't get it
That's why you may need to
ask someone else to help
Someone else?
My Dad's mistress
Jiang Mei-Xi
When my Dad bought her back,
she was only 15 years old
It was said,
that he was her first customer
That night, Dad bought her freedom,
then sponsored her to study and paint
My Dad is mostly mean to everyone
but he never had a temper with her
If any of the guys in the gang
caused any problem
She just had to plea for them,
and he would let them go
I thought Dad would marry her
after my Mom passed away
but he didn't,
and even bought her a small house
to live in
Stand still
What are you doing? Selling fruits...
What's inside the basket?
Something for a small business...
Sir!
There are just mangos in the basket,
I'm not hiding anything
Fast, get out of here...
Returning on the third day of marriage?
Yes
Officers, please,
a little something for you
get some tea
That's mean,
what is this world coming to...
It gets harder and harder to
find a way
Thank you You're welcome
Hey mister, who are looking for?
Is Mr Fang here?
Please wait
Miss, there's a man here
looking for you
Mr Luo is seeking for Brother Fang
Somebody told me he was here
He's not here today.
Would you like to leave a message?
I came to help 'Tzu-Chi Foundation'
to build an orphanage
hoping that Mr Fang would be generous
I'm afraid
it's not that easy
Doesn't matter
I'll come back next time.
Sorry to bother you
Is this 'Wilted Chrysanthumum'
painted by Pan Da-Wei?
That is my duplication
I'd rather die embracing the flowers
There should be another following line
Than to dance with
the autumn leaves in the wind
There aren't that many people
who knows this poem
So you know Pan Da-Wei...
Yes
Excuse my rudeness
I don't understand why
this coffee pot is
Coffee pot?
Right, it's used to brew coffee
You are from Nanyang?
I think you must know English
Yes
I've been looking for
an English teacher
and wonder if you can
help to introduce someone
Of course, I can
Do you want to learn
conversation or reading?
Whatever is fine
as long as it's English
Okay
Please give way
What is that?
Open it so I can take a look
What do you want to do?
I'll let them take
the merchandise away
Drop a long line,
and catch a big fish
Good, very good
Brother Wei
Detained for 2 days,
now they say it's ready to be picked up
Don't bring it here
Take it to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place
Don't they want to refurbish
the hospital?
May the yearning love knot be untied
The deeper the love;
the deeper the hatred
Dancing slowly as I greet my love
The depth of love is felt
and never be forgotten
Have I returned to
familiar grounds again
Excuse me
Washing silk by the brook
Adorned in simplicity,
a beauty as pure as ice
Like a goddess descended
from the skies
Why don't you believe me?
Ke-Jiang seen me before, if not...
Hope you comprehend
The police are on high alert these days
There are lmperial
Secret Police everywhere
We have to be very careful
Take a photo of me and
show it to Ke-Jiang
If you don't mind, go ahead
Hope I didn't bother you too much
We've finished our conversation
Mr Luo
The incident you talked about
last time
Brother Fang is a sentimental person
If you get to know him
and if he likes you
then your orphanage will
have a chance
You mean
The day after tomorrow, he'll have a
business meeting with a British gentleman
You can go and be his interpreter
of course, he has
an interpreter already
but maybe he won't make it
on that day
Do you understand?
Absolutely
Thank you for your concern,
Ms Jiang
About that matter I asked of you...
English teacher
If you don't mind,
I'd like to recommend myself
That would be great
If I may ask...
Why would you do it for Mr. Pan?
As a nude model
Don't you think this is interesting?
Go quickly
Let go of me, I'm not a Revolutionist
Just because I don't have a queue,
it doesn't make me a revolutionist
Go, Stop your chattering, move
there are revolutionists everywhere...
Those officers are useless
dealing with the foreigners
but are really good at
bullying the common people
Done
What did you do to the interpreter?
Just that his car can't be started
It's just my big brother's car,
no worries
He's here
Please wait a moment
Mr Luo
He is my English teacher, Mr Luo
This is Brother Fang
Pleasure to meet you Mr Fang
Mr Luo
Mr Fang needs you urgently
his interpreter couldn't make it
at the last minute
No problem
You guys may go
Yes yes
Please take a seat, Mr Luo
Please don't be so formal,
call me Zhong-Huo
Well, take your time and talk,
I'll go home to wait for you
The car's downstairs,
let them take you home
very well
Come
what did you just tell the Brit?
I told him
his merchandise must be very important
But our Chinese Spring Festival
was established thousands
of years ago
we can not change that just
for one man
See, civility makes a difference
I just spoke two words
to him, 'Can not'
yet, he babbled on and
translated a long speech for me
Did I make the right connection?
Yes, the right connection
Sit down, Mr Luo
Please take a seat
What treats have you got here?
Mr Luo said, they have
high tea in Malaya too
That's the British way
That's not bad
Got to have some Western snacks
with that too
See, I've got no respect when I'm here
My big brother is friendly
and approachable, isn't he?
Better than I imagined
That was my teaching material
when I was teaching English
Take a look
The letters I know, and the phonics
You've learnt before?
I learned a little bit,
many years ago,
but mostly forgotten now
This is pronounced as FREEDOM, correct?
Correct
I can read it,
but I don't know what it means
It means, to do whatever
you want to do
to be freed from being hungry
Correct
you can only do whatever you want to,
when your belly's full from eating
That's just one aspect,
keep reading
This, I don't really understand
That is a story
from the Buddhist Scriptures
One day, Buddha was standing
by a window
suddenly, a pigeon flew in
followed by an old eagle
Buddha said to the old eagle:
Don't eat the pigeon
The old eagle said: Fine. Then you
cut off some meat for me to eat
and it should be the same weight
as the pigeon
Buddha then proceeded to
cut some meat from his body
As hard as he tried, he could never
match the weight of the pigeon
Buddha awakens
Every life is equally important
You should tell this story
to my big brother
Weapons are always used to
solve any arguments in the gang
It happens every day
And every time someone dies
it's like their lives aren't
valued as a life
I heard the Beggars Gang at Guan
Di Temple want to expand their turf
There would be brawls,
even if you stepped on his turf
Really?
Come
Wei is rescued when you're here
Not to mention the vegetable
cooked along with the meat,
he would take half a day to
scrub the pot I cooked with
We vegetarians, would be happy
with just a bowl of rice
Brother Wei, Ke-Jiang hasn't
replied yet?
Not yet
I heard the Beggars Gang want to
expand their turf
How do you know?
I've been associating with
Guang-Xing Tong lately
I feel we can get Guang-Xing Tong to
help us in transporting weapons
The Officials never search their boats
Actually, I have
an association with Fang
I got a feeling,
we can take advantage of
the matter with the Beggars Gang
Fang Hong-Zhi, Wei-Ru's father?
Anything a matter?
Nothing that matters
You were saying the Beggars Gang's
expansion, is arousing Guang-Xing Tong
Not at the moment, but it is possible
Good, we'll lend them a helping hand
Hey, beat it, beat it
Those of you who's begging for rice
who allowed you to disturb us here?
All you want is some stinking rice
Boss
Boss
Please give us something to eat
What are you guys doing?
What are you doing?
This is Guang-Xing Tong's turf and
you dare to make trouble here?
Beat it
Beat it
Then we will go we will go
That's it, we'll shift
Brother Six back here
and take it easy at San Yuan Alley
It may be their strategy to
deviate our attention
San Yuan Alley won't be ours
when Brother Six leaves
Then who would you suggest?
I can't spare a man. Brother Two's
men are watching the smoking dens
Your guys are watching the brothels
Should Big Brother be
watching the main street?
Brother Liao
Big Brother, there's a Luo Zhong-Huo
outside; asking to see you
Tell him he is busy and has no time
Yes. Wait
Let him come in. Yes
Zhong-Huo, you want something from me?
Please Mr Fang, I'd like to
have a word with you
In all these years, no one has
dared to cause trouble on my turf
The Beggars Gang has got a death wish
There really is going to be a war
You came to talk to me about this matter
Yes
I've got a solution without any battles
You've got a solution?
Liu Si, the leader of the Beggars Gang,
has a routine for morning tea every day
After morning tea,
he would take a stroll
probably to check out his territory
No regular route Yellow rickshaw
How do you know about this?
I've followed him for three days
You
I'm not of Guang-Xing Tong,
so no one is aware of me
He took different routes
all three days
but, it's always the same destination
That casino belongs to Long-Gui Tong
He knows you won't do anything
at Long-Gui Tong's turf
Because at this time,
you won't risk to have another enemy
but maybe Liu Si will
go head to head with you
That's because Liu Si has
Long-Gui Tong backing him up
Go on
What I mean is to purposely
kill him on Long-Gui Tong's turf
No knife, no gun, no blood
Therefore, Guaang-Xing Tong
is not involved in any way
How can it be done?
Get someone to bribe one
of the Fan Tan dealers
or sneak one of your guys in,
any way we can
Let Liu Si win
two days in a row would be the best
Odd number
And then?
Then it's on to me
I won't kill anyone for you
but he'll be seriously sick,
and be bedridden for
at least two months
What would you want in return
for helping me?
I'm here to help the Tzu Chi Foundation
to establish an orphanage
An orphanage
needs money
Yes, and quite a bit of money
Understood
Three. Three. Three
Yes! Money, money, money
What should we bet on?
Buy two, buy one, buy four
Three means alive. Put it all on Three
Three. Three. Three
Three. Three
Happy New Year.
Wishes of Prosperity,
Wealth and Health
Wei and I will host today's
New Year's Eve feast,
to make it up to Zhong-Huo
Very well
That's very generous of you.
Thank you very much
To realise wrong is to change.
Master must set an example
I've got the chicken, duck and fish.
Who will kill the chicken?
Him. Him
Me, to kill the chicken? Yes
Gao Jian-Fu
Okay
You are just a vegetarian,
I'll do the killing
Alright. Good good, good
Go and be busy. Good
Is Mr Luo here?
Zhong-Huo,
there is someone looking for you
Mr Luo,
my master wants me to deliver
this letter to you
Tell Mr Fang,
I'll come over after the feast
Very well, I'll run along first
Ke-Jiang has agreed with our plans
He instructed us to be careful
when in contact with Fang's Tong
Fang Hong-Zhi has taken over
the Beggars Gang
That may be more beneficial for us
He wants to see me tonight,
to discuss the orphanage
Before, when we left you on your own
sorry about that
When I return, you can do a
Chrysanthumum painting for me
I'm going to kill the chicken.
Pan Da-Wei, you going to say a prayer?
So many red packets
Zhong-Huo is here. I've been doing
this all day, and my back is sore
No wonder Guang-Xing Tong
is so vibrant
even the red packets
are handled by the Tong's leader
By your good fortunes
This year, we've taken in two
thousand members more
just red packets alone,
This one is for you
No, no, that's not necessary
This is a Cantonese custom,
all Singles gets one
Are you married?
No
well, thank you Mr Fang
Kung Hei Fat Choi
No matter how it's said,
it's still harsh to my ears
Could you change
the 'Mister' title?
By age, I'd only be your older brother
Then, thanks very much Brother Fang
That's much easier on the ears
Big Brother
Mr Luo is also here
Big Brother, aren't you done
with the stamping yet?
You just hurry me rather
than help me
alright, let us talk about
the matter of the orphanage
Bring us some tea
Guang-Xing Tong's membership
have strengthened this year
We should really do something
for charity
Zhong-Huo mentioned an orphanage,
that's a great opportunity
That'd be great,
if Big Brother really thought that way
I thought Big Brother
would take the lead
and I'd go door to door
to gather donations
How about this?
Let us hold a Charity Auction
How do we do that?
We'll get every wealthy family
from the provincial capital
to donate a piece of valuable
for the auction
with all proceeds going towards
the Tzu Chi Foundation's orphanage
I think it will work
Liao, you go and prepare
for the auction to be
held on January 15th
Good
Big Brother,
we'll get Mr Luo to be our consultant
Nonsense.
Why would Zhong-Huo roll with us?
Big Brother, by these words;
you mean...
Big Brother,
you continue the discussion
I'll go and help pass out
the red packets
Mr Luo, Happy New Year.
May your heart's desires come true
May all hearts' desires come true
Lord...
Better than the last batch
In the new year, the British
will have another shipment arriving
Liao
I picked you for the Police
not just for the opium
I understand
Fang Hong-Zhi favours you
because you're connected to me
and I favour you because
you're connected to Guang-Xing Tong
The work at the Police Office
has to be done
but your position at the Tong
should not be taken away by someone
Thanks for your reminder, Lord Li
Don t worry,
that Luo is no competition to me
Happy Chinese New Year
Same wish to you
Come in
Why are you getting the door?
Where's the servant?
I let her go home for
the New Year
Who doesn't want to be with
their family for the Spring Festival
I am used to being on my own anyway
Have a seat
May I have a cup of coffee?
Coffee beans
You've really got them
I thought you were just bluffing
about getting it
Didn't Mr Fang come by?
He came by for a short while
on New Year's Eve
Said he'd be busy for
the next two days visiting every Tong
Still has to go around to greet
the other Tongs, he'll be busy
He'll come by to see you
after all his visits
Big brother and I
we're not what you think we are
Check and see if it's okay?
Actually, he has never
stayed here overnight
He never has
He told me that
I resemble his younger sister
His sister died of hunger
when they were on the run
she died in his arms
He said
I looked very much
like his younger sister
That's why he bought my freedom
without ever touching me
For these past 15 years
he has always treated me as his sister
But you don't want him to be
like just a brother
So you have noticed
I told him I wanted to get married
He asked me who I was going to marry
I told him that I haven't found anyone yet
Actually
I wanted to know how important
I am to him
And then?
And then...
I'd be his sister for
the rest of my life
Please excuse me for
asking you to do this
My pleasure
Are you sure they can see us?
Big Brother always has
someone guarding here
Does that prove that
I am important to him?
I have always wanted to ask you
Is an orphanage worthwhile
for you to
do all these crazy things?
Crazy?
If anything goes wrong
the Beggars Gang will attack
and you may be killed
Then, with me standing here
making Mr Fang angry
won't I be killed?
You never thought of that, did you?
It's like when you're flying a kite
you would only look up to the kite
and rarely be aware of the danger
awaiting below your feet
No, he won't.
Brother Fang is a reasonable man
I know, that's why I dare to stand here
You haven't told me yet
Is an orphanage really that important?
From your perspective,
it may just be a shelter for orphans
But for me,
that's a place where fate
can be changed
Children there will not only be
well fed, but well kept
they will also learn about
looking for things in life,
that are more important than
eating and sleeping
Ideals and goals
Then in their pursuit of
their ideals and goals
they will change the world
Compared to you,
my goal is just mere and minute
Not really,
your actual goal for change, too
To change Mr Fang's attitude of life
is to bring change to half
of the provincial capital
I forgot to mention
Mr Fang has agreed to help
raise funds for the orphanage
There will be a charity auction
held on January 15th (Lunar Calendar)
I wonder what I said
Two, Three
Seven pieces more to go
Today's only the third day of
the Lunar New Year
Relax Brother Liao,
it'll all be done by the Fifteenth
You all recognize him
Yes, we do
Later, we'll arrest the
culprit with the goods
Yes
Obviously, they don't know
about their donations
Brother Liao's men told me
all the valuables to
be auctioned were stolen
The culprit he has trapped, is you
Your father may not realize
With his concept,
robbery can be taken
as a charitable cause
Are you doubting your father's
fundamental ability to differentiate?
Don't you want to know the truth?
I really want to know
Dear Benefactors. Dear Guests
Thanks for your attendance
at this charity auction
The charity auction will commence
Coming up, our first valued item;
up for bidding today
Wait
since this is a charity auction,
we should introduce our
philanthropists first
Mr Luo,
I don't think it's necessary
to waste our guests' time
It's more important to
promote than just to do charity
How would that waste time?
On behalf of Tzu Chi Foundation,
I'd like to thank Mr Fang Hong-Zhi
Mr. Fang has invited all our
benefactors here today
A round of applause to
welcome Mr Fang onto the stage
Thank you, thank you everyone
for your support
Originally I thought
I would spearhead a donation drive
for every family to make a contribution
Then I heard
there were robbers in our provincial
capital during the festive season
As you all know,
Brother Liao is a Police Inspector
He hasn't rested during
the Spring Festival
and has recovered most
of the stolen valuables
So I took the initiative
and used the recovered
goods as donation
to this auction
If anyone disagrees,
allow me to make amends first
Our goal is to raise
It will be great
if we accomplish this figure
If not, I will personally
make up the difference
Okay
Let's begin
This small time thieving
is not our style
You should formally use my
invitation and knock on their doors
Do you still need me
to teach you?
If Wei-Ru didn't remind me today
the reputation of Guang-Xing Tong
would be all diminished by you
Big Brother
Whatever the consequences, you decide
Get up
Get up and don't be a laughing
stock to the others
I've donated three thousand
dollars today,
half will be your share
it's not about the money,
it's to give you a reminder
Big Brother, Big Brother
Brother Liao, Brother Liao
Go, these are for Big Brother to see
I... l'll go?
If you don't go, should I go for you?
Yes
Go
You don't know this is
used to brew coffee?
Good thing Mr. Luo knows
I thought it was some sort of ornament
I am talking to you
I'd like you to set up a meeting
for tea with Long-Gui Tong's leader
Long-Gui Tong
That baldy who was blatantly staring
at me the last time we had dinner?
Yeah...
I'm afraid of him
You have a few cups of tea with him,
then leave when I arrive
He would risk any danger
to meet with you
Big Brother tells me to go,
then I will go
If he was to get physical, I...
I wouldn't give him that chance
Are you all dressed up
to see me today?
I've asked you out a few times
and you didn't come
Are you in a better mood now?
That's impossible!
Is it because Jiang Mei-Xi can't
possibly die
or that my Dad can't possibly
kill her?
Wei-Ru, this is no child's play
Master, I'm not making up
stories to entertain you
My Dad,
he won't let you go so easily
his next target will be you
Wei-Ru is here
Ke-Jiang's fast
all the weapons and ammunition
will be in Hong Kong in a few days
It's a big shipment,
we have to think of a way to
bring in that stuff
Also, Tzu Chi Foundation
has received the donations
and has written a thank you
letter to your father
What happened?
Someone delivered an invitation,
and said it was for Zhong-Huo
Wei-Ru is correct
Fang Hong-Zhi has invited him
to a lavish banquet
I'll go
Hey, do you have a death wish?
What really happened?
Insane, they're all crazy
You go then
What if there was poison in the tea
Then it will fulfill me
and Ms Jiang's destiny
as we'll be a pair
of dead love birds
I gave her the name of Mei-Xi
Beautiful, Bright, Pure
You've ruined everything,
and still have the gall to face me
That just says two things
Firstly, I'm hungry
Second, I've nothing to hide
Serve dinner
Please, Mr Luo
These chopsticks...
should strength be applied to both
or just one side?
I can't really use them well
Of course, apply strength
to both at the same time
No wonder
But Ms Jiang was always just performing
a solo act
She asked for my assistance
Every time I go to her place...
to stop at the doorway
and linger for a little while
And while in her bedroom,
to stand right by the window
then occasionally, to make an
appearance at the balcony
just to let those guards see us
and then to inform you
She is this chopstick,
you are the other
She desperately tried to
do one thing with you as a pair
but you showed no response
What are you talking about?
Speak in a way so that
I can understand
Love
Do you understand?
Ms Jiang didn't want to be your sister
She wanted to live like the rumours
that she's your lover,
mistress, anything
She didn't want to
be just your sister
Was she in need of
anything else better?
All these years I have given her
whatever she wanted
Pearl, amber, diamonds,
what else did she want?
You, she wanted you
She allowed me to help her
to put on this act for you
to provoke you,
to stress her importance to you
She succeeded
she just didn't expect
an ending like this
Why did she choose you
Because you favoured me
Big Brother
I know this may not be the right time
But I have an urgent shipment from
HK which needs to be transported here
Which day
The sooner the better
There'll be a ship returning from
Hong Kong the day after tomorrow
That shipment got everything
Guang-Xing Tong doesn't know what it is,
they're just responsible for transporting
Early morning on the day after,
pick up at Tian Zi Pier
Thank you, Big Brother
Haven't really had dinner,
Big Brother will make it up another day
You go first
I want some solitude
The government won't search
Guang-Xing Tong's merchandise
But Liao will definitely
know what is inside
And he'll definitely take this
as his merit to Lord Li
Wei and I have been thinking
we'll use a wedding as a cover
There will be a big shipment
so the wedding party has to
be really big
Also the bride needs to be heavy
a fat woman?
Yes, to be able to subdue Liao
How fat does she need to be?
Me?
I'm not fat
But you can subdue Liao
at least he wouldn't dare to do
anything when he sees you
He doesn't dare to upset your dad
and then?
You have to choose a husband
Choose me, choose m
Master
I'm also available
Today is the Seventh day
since her death
Now you know, my dad is cold-blooded
His way of living has been destined
Sometimes he can't help doing
things against his heart
He can choose another way of living
The right to choose is not
always within our grasp
Oh yes
Thank you for choosing me to
act as your groom
This is just work, it's not for real
But we are more fortunate
than Ms Jiang
At least we can experience
the feeling of marriage before death
Death?
I've signed up to join
the Suicide Squad
Therefore I hope Ms Jiang
will bless us from above,
for us to succeed tomorrow
This is the only way
we can join the rebellion
Inspector, there are 4 to 5 men who
boarded the boat, and haven't returned
No one got into the water,
nothing happened
Stay alert. Yes
What is that sound?
Want to fool me with a 'wedding act'?
Ready for action
Yes
Luo Zhong-Huo,
this is your death date
Wait till they alight from the boat,
bring some men to intercept them
Yes, Inspector
The bride is coming!
Come, be careful
Come, the bride is coming, be careful
careful
Wait What? Inspector
I said wait, don't you hear me?
How come she's here?
Crazy
Come in and have a seat
Alright, raise the sedan
Inspector,
once they are on the street,
it will be hard for us to take any action
No, don't touch the bride,
she's the daughter of
Guang-Xing Tong's master
But Inspector,
we have an lmperial order
Kill all rebels, no exceptions
even if it means killing the innocent
Even killing the innocent.
Do you know who gave you
your biddings at the casino?
Even Lord Li wants to
take her as his God-daughter
You dare to touch her
Listen, Ah-Jiang
Take some men and
bring back that bride's sedan
And take it away as far as you can
Arrest those people,
kill whoever resists
Understood
I'm getting married, what is it Sir?
I suspect you to be transporting
weapons for the revolutionists
Search them
Sir, revolutionists will be executed
You can't speak lightly of this
I'm sure the proof is
right beneath the dowries
What if you cannot find them?
Cannot find them
I will let you go if
I cannot find them
You have to honour your words
Reveal the dowries for them to see
Sir
Now will you return my bride back?
Where are the stuff?
What stuff?
Why are you mixed up
with these people?
We're just having fun putting on
a play-wedding, why can't we?
I'll tell your father,
when I get back
Tell him if you like
I know why you're angry
Next time when I put on a play-wedding
again, I'll pick you as the groom!
I'm hungry, take me home
Raise the sedan
Watch the Miss closely.
If she goes out, tail her tightly
Yes
I was not allowed to kill Lord Li,
but here comes this Wan San-Choy
who killed Fu Qi
I think he actually wanted to kill Li,
but killed the wrong person
Delaying the rebellion,
for how many days?
Everything has to wait for further
instructions from Hong Kong
Wait! We still have to wait again
Their target was not Fu Qi
It was me
Why are the revolutionists
so maniacal?
This tells; they plan for
something big soon
I am blocking their moves
That's why you have to pay
extra attention
and increase manpower at all barricades
I, Li Zhun will be the thorn
in the palm of the revolutionists
My Lord
I have discovered
the secret hiding place for
the leaders of the revolution
It's possibly the painting
studio at No. 1 Pao Kan Road
Close down the place
Arrest all the people
and bring them back
Shift the Patrol teams at Liao Hua Shan
and Yin Tong back to the PC
Confiscate all the guns from
the New Army
Yes
Open the door, search!
Quickly
You guys come here
I'm sure I saw Miss coming here
I told you to watch her closely
Idiot!
Come. Come. Come.
Put everything in here
over there as well. Ok
Come, we will go this way
Thank you
Is one enough?
That's enough
Brother Ke-Jiang
Zhong-Huo. You are here
I heard you're married
This is the bride
No, no
With tea to drink, this will be
just like a Command Centre
Ke-Jiang, you're here
I heard a painter of
tigers moved in here too
also, there's a painter
of chrysanthumums
Ke-Jiang My good brother
You are here
There's a bomb maker here too
Zhong-Huo, this is
the famous bomb maker, Yu Pei-Lun
How are you?
These two are from Fujiang:
Lin Wen.
How are you?
Lin Jue-Min. How are you?
This gentleman does not
need an introduction
He is the gang's famous son-in-law,
Luo Zhong-Huo
Just kidding
nice to meet you
Glad you're here. Nice to meet you
Good, everyone is here,
let's go in and talk
Come
Why aren't women allowed?
That doesn't make sense, didn't you
say that all people are equal?
Why don't we go and
raise a little hell
because I can't join
the Suicide Squad anyway
No way
They want me to guard
the territory of the Newspaper
I cannot reveal my identity
There'll be a lot of follow-up
work after the rebellion
and continue to release the news
Join me for the follow-up work
Follow-up? What is that?
I don't want to
Wei, come over
The Chinese in Nanyang are
very supportive to us
They receive news from
different sources
What does this mean?
Because Fu Qi was assassinated
by Wan
the rebellion has to be
postponed for 14 days
This telegram is to warn the
Yui Xin crew not to come
We still have to delay some more
Li Zhun ordered the confiscation
of all guns from the New Army
Without the guns,
bullets are useless
Three ships of Qing army will be relocated
back to fortify their defence today
They just started to
strengthen their defence
these few days
When did we start to prepare?
It took us so a lot of effort to
get the weapons here
The Suicide teams from various places
will be arriving these two days
But without any co-ordination
from the New Army
We'd be like throwing eggs
against rocks
Jiong-Ming and Yi-Shen's message is
To slow down and suspend
To suspend, would mean to disperse
If Jiong-Ming and Yi-Sheng don't
want to do it, they can retreat
Whoever doesn't want to
do it can withdraw
As a last resort, I can just
go to the Chancellor's Mansion
and bomb Zhang Ming-Qi
Is the point of our rebellion to
just kill a president or two?
If it was that simple,
we can just kill the Emperor
and have it done with
How many times do I have to
say it to make you guys understand
Ke-Jiang
If we say the Qing Government
had no defence
Do you think we'll succeed?
To succeed is definitely our wish
But we have already failed
nine times previously
That's why this time
we shouldn't even think
we'll succeed
This is the tenth time
and then, there'll be the eleventh time
and the twelfth
China has been asleep for too long
and cannot be awakened
by just a couple of explosions
The reason why we're here,
is to achieve what is unattainable
To sacrifice our lives,
is to inspire our descendants
Pei-Lun said
We have to plan the most
glorious funeral for ourselves
The explosions will be
our Trophies of Flower
It will be a glorious funeral
It seems like you will all be
in this funeral now
On the 27th
the day after tomorrow
Thanks to Heaven and Earth
my efforts for 3 months in making
these bombs would have been wasted
When will you be returning this time
I can't say
Our country is in a mess,
don't come back if you can't do it
To hell with their mess,
we keep drinking and earning our money
Zhong-Huo
I'd like to advise you
The world is like this wine,
it wasn't fermented overnight
and its taste can't be changed
Who said that wine has to
be just one flavour
Westerners drink wine,
brandy and whisky
I think we should drink
whatever we want to drink
Everyone have their own ideals
But you have to remember
Whenever you return,
this seat is always reserved for you
Come
Your words will be in my heart
Big Brother
Can you keep Wei-Ru at home tomorrow?
Why?
She said she wants to run away from home,
and come to Nanyang with me
That girl
has been spoilt and getting worse
I'll have her locked up tomorrow
Pei-Lun
Can you handle that many by yourself?
These explosives are nothing
As I toss them out one by one,
it will get lighter and lighter
Keep bluffing,
just don't bomb yourself
So what? I can handle it
even with just one shoulder
Let's go
Be careful! Careful!
Don't think you've written
your last will
this is my fourth
I've done three previously
Do you need pen and paper? No
I have written mine in Malaya
I'm drawing this for you
Mr. Sun said you like to draw
wilted chrysanthumums
I've changed
Blossoming chrysanthumums
can illustrate their fragrance and
grandeur even better
Standing proudly against
the southern chills
I have always wanted to
ask you why
Why what
To journey thousands of miles
to Guangzhou
To raise funds, to buy weapons,
and then to die
You don't look like
a hot-tempered person
We both clearly know
that Mr Sun's 'Three Principles of
the People' has a long way to go
At the moment we were born,
we start to lose
we lose our childhood,
lose our youth, lose our lover
and keep losing until
we lose our lives
What is there to prove our existence?
To prove that we have lived?
A funeral where explosives
become Trophies of Flower
It's not an opportunity
for everyone
At least during this
farce-filled era
We can prove
that our lives are not a farce
If this painting is
lucky enough, tomorrow
no, the day after
return it to me
Good
Have you finished the painting?
Almost
Let me brush on
a few pieces of stones
Brother Wei
Brother Huang said to
bring these letters to you
Your mission is more important than
us bombing the Chancellor's Mansion
Wei
We use our bombs
you use your pen
This will definitely be more
effective than shouting on the street
Is that right?
Master said you were a teacher
in Penang
I have also been a principal
of a high school
Principal Luo, I've got a question
Tell me, if there are so many
places that you haven t visited
so many good food that
you haven't tasted
and die just like this,
won't you regret it?
Even if we visited,
we tasted, we still die,
is there a difference?
But, you're not afraid of dying?
Mr Sun once said, to live
and to die has been destined
nothing can be done
even if one's afraid of it
Understood. I'll go now
Is that how you're going
to bid me farewell?
I won't say goodbye to you
Who says I'm still a woman
Wei-Ru
Where are you going
dressed like that
Nowhere
Then come and spend
some time with me
Then I'll go and change
Why do you lock me up,
open the door!
Somebody, open the door!
Auntie Huang,
it's an emergency, let me out!
Somebody help!
Why do you lock me up?
You're back
Dad, open the door, open the door,
let me out!
Dad, open the door!
Yi Ying my beloved
I write this letter to
bid farewell forever
At the time of this writing,
I'm still amongst the living
But by the time you read this,
I'll be a ghost amongst the living.
Dad
I haven't bid farewell
to them yet
I still haven't said
goodbye to Brother Luo
Open the door, Dad!
Dad, open the door.
Brother Wei
Come in
How is the situation?
Master will provide cover for
Brother Huang to leave the Capital
But we haven't heard any
news from Brother Luo yet
The gates of the Capital only
allow departure and no entry
Have some food first
My reporter's credentials and camera
I'll find out more as a reporter
no one will do anything to me
you should return and wait for my news
Brother Wei, I want to wait here
Have you eaten?
I'm not hungry, Auntie Wei
Is there anything I can help with?
Just waiting without doing
anything makes me mad
Let's say some prayers
Can they really hear it?
At least we can hear it ourselves
Praying can at least
calm ourselves down
After waiting for three days
without your return
I asked Wei-Ru to go home first
How is it?
The corpses lie exposed outside
of the Information Bureau
It is still raining outside
I used my father's reputation to
ask Guang-YanSin Tong
to use Hunghua Gang
The government reluctantly
agreed to have them buried there.
I'm going now
You're going now?
Wait a minute
Here's some money
Here's some mothballs
Bring an umbrella
Yi Ying my beloved
I write this letter to
bid farewell forever
At the time of this writing,
I'm still amongst the living
But by the time you read this,
I'll be a ghost amongst the living
My tears are mixed
with the ink I write
Not knowing what to write,
I lay down my pen
Yet you may misunderstand
my dilemma
and think I desert you
Knowing well you don't want me to leave
So I endure my pains for you
to let you know
Directly at his bed
Is a hundred catties enough?
Quite enough
You go first, I'll do it
Rebel Si Jian-Ru, is sentenced to death
for conspiring to bomb the
President's Mansion,
execution without delay
Si Jian-Ru, to Hell with you
Disciple Pan Da-Wei
Longevity forever
To follow Buddha
Longevity forever,
to follow Buddhism
Longevity forever,
to follow Buddhism
Longevity forever,
to follow the Monk
Longevity forever,
to follow the Monk
All man will die
The difference is how you choose to die
We'll be arriving in Guangzhou soon
Please take care of your own belongings
We'll change to a connecting
boat to shore
Please take care of
your own belongings
Attention please
Quickly, search the luggage over there
You guys, over here
Come over here
Put the crates up there
Go, open it
Excuse me sir,
do you have an invitation?
Sorry, I don't have one
Then, you are...
Sir, If you don't have
an invitation...
I'm from Nanyang
A friend of Gao Jian-Fu
My mistake, Please this way
Gao, quite the Tiger
Great!
Thank you. Come on, Brother Liao
We'll take a photo together
All set Big Brother
Lord Li
Honour us and take a photograph
with us
Come, come on, Big Brother
Closer, get closer
Great!
Excuse me Sir.
I'm terribly sorry
It's alright
I'm from Nanyang,
but I'm not a revolutionary
Cut the chatter, get over here
Tang Tsai Congee
Tang Tsai Congee
What did you say?
The City of Ice
You're from Harbin
No
Malaya, Pulau Pinang.
Also known as Penang
The gentleman in the room is
Lord Li Zhun; the Minister of Marine
That is my father
I mean the one who is
talking to Lord Li
My name is Fang Wei-Ru
Congee, Tang Tsai Congee
That's not right!
Don t touch my clothes
The search for revolutionaries
has come upon me
I will not allow you to
search my stuff today
Quiet, who refuses to be searched?
Everything has to be searched
Hey girlie
Is the Tang Tsai congee hot?
It's hot, it's hot
Don't worry about that woman,
someone's getting off the boat over there
Hey you, come back
I'm just having a bowl of congee
Give me a bowl
Sure thing. Please go in and
have a seat, just a quick wait
These barricades were set up
just two days ago
The Chairman is very anxious
He told us to come fetch you
I bet it was that
Li Zhun's order
That way has been blocked
We need to think of another way
They're going to kill that
'Old Fart' tonight
You well know
how to enjoy life
I've been up before the sunrise
and still haven't had
a decent meal
I'm just having some congee,
nothing else
Nonsense
Get back in line
What about my bowl of congee
Nonsense
Go, quickly
Little girlie. Yes?
Still got any congee?
Yes, yes
Give me some
Sure thing
Cheers
Come on, come, come
Here's the food
Wait
Who brought you here?
I...
I...
You want to be killed?
Alright, that's enough
My shoulder is numb,
I can't move anymore
Who said you can assassinate
at your father's birthday party
The punishment for assassinating an IO
is death sentence for your whole family
Just because your father
belongs to the Gang,
you think you can get away
with it?
It's still numb
Who ordered you to do it?
Gao Jian-Fu or Pan Da-Wei?
You know them?
No one ordered me
and they wouldn't let me join in
I saw you milling ink for Gao
He's my Master,
who teaches me to paint
I was just at the studio
looking for him
they said he came here
Then I'll go back
and wait for him
I'll go too
Wei-Ru
Brother Wei, you're back
This is Mr Luo from Malaya
Luo Zhung-Huo
Nice to meet you
Come in first
Please
so, you're Mr Pan Da-Wei
Exactly
That's great
I stored some luggage
here earlier
Here is a letter
from Mr Sun for you
This Mr Sun Wen is...
You don't know him?
Aren't you Pan Da-Wei of
the People's News?
Then you should recognize
this painting
This painting 'Wilted Chrysanthumum'
was your gift to Mr Sun
He asked me to bring it along
to Guangzhou, to find you
Come
The Mr Sun you mentioned
is Sun Yat-Sin?
I knew you would return tonight
Where are the guns?
I brought them back
How's your situation?
Bullseye at a hundred paces
it wasn't even 10 meters
such a big target and
he couldn't even hit him
Master, is Ah-Fai okay?
Just a mere flesh wound
We took him to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place
Well, I'll go back then
Yes, go back
It is quite late
Just around the corner
is her Dad's turf
Somebody will take care of her
Goodbye Brother Luo,
goodbye Master and Brother Wei
Weren't you the one dancing
with Wei-Ru?
Exactly, I am Luo Zhong-Huo
It's getting late already
Right, and I still haven't
found a place to stay
If you don't mind, stay here
Please
Why are you doing this?
The painting is authentic
and it's also Mr Sun's hand-writing
But, he may not be authentic
We'll wait and see
All barricades into Guangzhou
are under heavy scrutiny
lt'd be very difficult for
any weapon to pass through
It was ordered by Ke-Jiang
to stop all assassinations
before the rebellion
We don't want to give them
any early warning
Li Zhun has spoiled
our previous actions
If I had a gun with me tonight
Li Zhun would be dead by now
Then you become tomorrow's headline
Master Painter, Revolutionary Assassin
So what?
It's your birthday today,
and I get a gift from you?
That's not right
You're still being cordial with me?
That bullet was meant for...
My Lord
My men recognizes the assassin
he is from Long-Gui Tong
Even if it was a gangland argument
it would still involve the Police
Don't worry
we will investigate this till
it's all clear
Thank you for your concern,
Lord Li
Liao will escort you home No need
Let him take care of
the situation here
I've got men of my own
Alright Lord, take care
Raise the sedan
You mentioned;
Long-Gui Tong earlier...
I didn't want Lord Li to be startled
I've thought about it
they knew, the Master of Guang-Xing Tong
was hosting his birthday banquet
If any other Tongs dare to
cause trouble
then they wouldn't survive
in this city anymore
I agree.
So you mean...
the Revolutionaries
That bullet was definitely
not meant for you
Wei-Ru
where did you come back from?
Dad
A proper young lady shouldn't
be on the streets so late
Didn't you host your birthday
banquet tonight?
I was with some classmates
having whelks by the river
Big brother
the account books are here
Yes
Brother Liao
I'm dead tired,
don't bother me anymore
I heard there was an assassin
I saw you dancing with someone
Where did you go after the gunshot?
Why are you questioning me
like my Dad?
I took off when the Lion Dance began
Who likes to watch those old,
stuffy things?
Brother Liao, this is your chance
to be promoted and get rich
Just think about it,
you're the Third In-Charge
of Guang-Xing Tong,
and a Police Inspector
If you were to apprehend the assassin
you would be well rewarded
by my Dad and that Lord Li
How did you know we haven't
caught the assassin yet?
If the assassin was caught,
you wouldn't be so gloomy
I'm going to sleep, goodnight
Mr Luo, come and take a look
What do you think,
I painted it with this
Where is my ink pad?
I returned to join the rebellion
I can help with transporting weapons
and communication
Good morning, Brother Luo
Morning
Should you go help Wei-Ru first?
The students will be here soon
Yes
Brother Luo you know
how to Dim Mak?
Is it that a person can't move
after being touched?
That is just an old wives' tale
The body has 8 meridians, 12 vessels,
over a thousand accu-points
if any accu-points is stagnant,
health would be affected
that's not fiction,
that's traditional Chinese medicine
You know Chinese medicine as well?
The weapons shipped in from Japan
was all thrown overboard by
a guy named Chao-something
Come
I heard there was a search
on the boat
That Chao-somebody opened the window
and threw out lots
and lots of bullets into the sea
Who told you that?
And also, the funds from Nanyang
haven't arrived yet
Master and Brother Wei were talking
this morning, and they seemed troubled
I have returned to join the rebellion
If there is no money,
how do we start a rebellion
Brother Luo
if you were able to get some money
then you would be trusted
by Master and Brother Wei?
I get some money?
Yes, get it from my Dad
After all, his money comes
to him easily
Opium, gambling,
he'll do whatever that's harmful
Why don't we get it from him?
And do some charity for him
Mr Sun mentioned it before,
getting money from the wealthy
is a short-cut
Master has tried to ask my dad
for money
He didn't get it
That's why you may need to
ask someone else to help
Someone else?
My Dad's mistress
Jiang Mei-Xi
When my Dad bought her back,
she was only 15 years old
It was said,
that he was her first customer
That night, Dad bought her freedom,
then sponsored her to study and paint
My Dad is mostly mean to everyone
but he never had a temper with her
If any of the guys in the gang
caused any problem
She just had to plea for them,
and he would let them go
I thought Dad would marry her
after my Mom passed away
but he didn't,
and even bought her a small house
to live in
Stand still
What are you doing? Selling fruits...
What's inside the basket?
Something for a small business...
Sir!
There are just mangos in the basket,
I'm not hiding anything
Fast, get out of here...
Returning on the third day of marriage?
Yes
Officers, please,
a little something for you
get some tea
That's mean,
what is this world coming to...
It gets harder and harder to
find a way
Thank you You're welcome
Hey mister, who are looking for?
Is Mr Fang here?
Please wait
Miss, there's a man here
looking for you
Mr Luo is seeking for Brother Fang
Somebody told me he was here
He's not here today.
Would you like to leave a message?
I came to help 'Tzu-Chi Foundation'
to build an orphanage
hoping that Mr Fang would be generous
I'm afraid
it's not that easy
Doesn't matter
I'll come back next time.
Sorry to bother you
Is this 'Wilted Chrysanthumum'
painted by Pan Da-Wei?
That is my duplication
I'd rather die embracing the flowers
There should be another following line
Than to dance with
the autumn leaves in the wind
There aren't that many people
who knows this poem
So you know Pan Da-Wei...
Yes
Excuse my rudeness
I don't understand why
this coffee pot is
Coffee pot?
Right, it's used to brew coffee
You are from Nanyang?
I think you must know English
Yes
I've been looking for
an English teacher
and wonder if you can
help to introduce someone
Of course, I can
Do you want to learn
conversation or reading?
Whatever is fine
as long as it's English
Okay
Please give way
What is that?
Open it so I can take a look
What do you want to do?
I'll let them take
the merchandise away
Drop a long line,
and catch a big fish
Good, very good
Brother Wei
Detained for 2 days,
now they say it's ready to be picked up
Don't bring it here
Take it to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place
Don't they want to refurbish
the hospital?
May the yearning love knot be untied
The deeper the love;
the deeper the hatred
Dancing slowly as I greet my love
The depth of love is felt
and never be forgotten
Have I returned to
familiar grounds again
Excuse me
Washing silk by the brook
Adorned in simplicity,
a beauty as pure as ice
Like a goddess descended
from the skies
Why don't you believe me?
Ke-Jiang seen me before, if not...
Hope you comprehend
The police are on high alert these days
There are lmperial
Secret Police everywhere
We have to be very careful
Take a photo of me and
show it to Ke-Jiang
If you don't mind, go ahead
Hope I didn't bother you too much
We've finished our conversation
Mr Luo
The incident you talked about
last time
Brother Fang is a sentimental person
If you get to know him
and if he likes you
then your orphanage will
have a chance
You mean
The day after tomorrow, he'll have a
business meeting with a British gentleman
You can go and be his interpreter
of course, he has
an interpreter already
but maybe he won't make it
on that day
Do you understand?
Absolutely
Thank you for your concern,
Ms Jiang
About that matter I asked of you...
English teacher
If you don't mind,
I'd like to recommend myself
That would be great
If I may ask...
Why would you do it for Mr. Pan?
As a nude model
Don't you think this is interesting?
Go quickly
Let go of me, I'm not a Revolutionist
Just because I don't have a queue,
it doesn't make me a revolutionist
Go, Stop your chattering, move
there are revolutionists everywhere...
Those officers are useless
dealing with the foreigners
but are really good at
bullying the common people
Done
What did you do to the interpreter?
Just that his car can't be started
It's just my big brother's car,
no worries
He's here
Please wait a moment
Mr Luo
He is my English teacher, Mr Luo
This is Brother Fang
Pleasure to meet you Mr Fang
Mr Luo
Mr Fang needs you urgently
his interpreter couldn't make it
at the last minute
No problem
You guys may go
Yes yes
Please take a seat, Mr Luo
Please don't be so formal,
call me Zhong-Huo
Well, take your time and talk,
I'll go home to wait for you
The car's downstairs,
let them take you home
very well
Come
what did you just tell the Brit?
I told him
his merchandise must be very important
But our Chinese Spring Festival
was established thousands
of years ago
we can not change that just
for one man
See, civility makes a difference
I just spoke two words
to him, 'Can not'
yet, he babbled on and
translated a long speech for me
Did I make the right connection?
Yes, the right connection
Sit down, Mr Luo
Please take a seat
What treats have you got here?
Mr Luo said, they have
high tea in Malaya too
That's the British way
That's not bad
Got to have some Western snacks
with that too
See, I've got no respect when I'm here
My big brother is friendly
and approachable, isn't he?
Better than I imagined
That was my teaching material
when I was teaching English
Take a look
The letters I know, and the phonics
You've learnt before?
I learned a little bit,
many years ago,
but mostly forgotten now
This is pronounced as FREEDOM, correct?
Correct
I can read it,
but I don't know what it means
It means, to do whatever
you want to do
to be freed from being hungry
Correct
you can only do whatever you want to,
when your belly's full from eating
That's just one aspect,
keep reading
This, I don't really understand
That is a story
from the Buddhist Scriptures
One day, Buddha was standing
by a window
suddenly, a pigeon flew in
followed by an old eagle
Buddha said to the old eagle:
Don't eat the pigeon
The old eagle said: Fine. Then you
cut off some meat for me to eat
and it should be the same weight
as the pigeon
Buddha then proceeded to
cut some meat from his body
As hard as he tried, he could never
match the weight of the pigeon
Buddha awakens
Every life is equally important
You should tell this story
to my big brother
Weapons are always used to
solve any arguments in the gang
It happens every day
And every time someone dies
it's like their lives aren't
valued as a life
I heard the Beggars Gang at Guan
Di Temple want to expand their turf
There would be brawls,
even if you stepped on his turf
Really?
Come
Wei is rescued when you're here
Not to mention the vegetable
cooked along with the meat,
he would take half a day to
scrub the pot I cooked with
We vegetarians, would be happy
with just a bowl of rice
Brother Wei, Ke-Jiang hasn't
replied yet?
Not yet
I heard the Beggars Gang want to
expand their turf
How do you know?
I've been associating with
Guang-Xing Tong lately
I feel we can get Guang-Xing Tong to
help us in transporting weapons
The Officials never search their boats
Actually, I have
an association with Fang
I got a feeling,
we can take advantage of
the matter with the Beggars Gang
Fang Hong-Zhi, Wei-Ru's father?
Anything a matter?
Nothing that matters
You were saying the Beggars Gang's
expansion, is arousing Guang-Xing Tong
Not at the moment, but it is possible
Good, we'll lend them a helping hand
Hey, beat it, beat it
Those of you who's begging for rice
who allowed you to disturb us here?
All you want is some stinking rice
Boss
Boss
Please give us something to eat
What are you guys doing?
What are you doing?
This is Guang-Xing Tong's turf and
you dare to make trouble here?
Beat it
Beat it
Then we will go we will go
That's it, we'll shift
Brother Six back here
and take it easy at San Yuan Alley
It may be their strategy to
deviate our attention
San Yuan Alley won't be ours
when Brother Six leaves
Then who would you suggest?
I can't spare a man. Brother Two's
men are watching the smoking dens
Your guys are watching the brothels
Should Big Brother be
watching the main street?
Brother Liao
Big Brother, there's a Luo Zhong-Huo
outside; asking to see you
Tell him he is busy and has no time
Yes. Wait
Let him come in. Yes
Zhong-Huo, you want something from me?
Please Mr Fang, I'd like to
have a word with you
In all these years, no one has
dared to cause trouble on my turf
The Beggars Gang has got a death wish
There really is going to be a war
You came to talk to me about this matter
Yes
I've got a solution without any battles
You've got a solution?
Liu Si, the leader of the Beggars Gang,
has a routine for morning tea every day
After morning tea,
he would take a stroll
probably to check out his territory
No regular route Yellow rickshaw
How do you know about this?
I've followed him for three days
You
I'm not of Guang-Xing Tong,
so no one is aware of me
He took different routes
all three days
but, it's always the same destination
That casino belongs to Long-Gui Tong
He knows you won't do anything
at Long-Gui Tong's turf
Because at this time,
you won't risk to have another enemy
but maybe Liu Si will
go head to head with you
That's because Liu Si has
Long-Gui Tong backing him up
Go on
What I mean is to purposely
kill him on Long-Gui Tong's turf
No knife, no gun, no blood
Therefore, Guaang-Xing Tong
is not involved in any way
How can it be done?
Get someone to bribe one
of the Fan Tan dealers
or sneak one of your guys in,
any way we can
Let Liu Si win
two days in a row would be the best
Odd number
And then?
Then it's on to me
I won't kill anyone for you
but he'll be seriously sick,
and be bedridden for
at least two months
What would you want in return
for helping me?
I'm here to help the Tzu Chi Foundation
to establish an orphanage
An orphanage
needs money
Yes, and quite a bit of money
Understood
Three. Three. Three
Yes! Money, money, money
What should we bet on?
Buy two, buy one, buy four
Three means alive. Put it all on Three
Three. Three. Three
Three. Three
Happy New Year.
Wishes of Prosperity,
Wealth and Health
Wei and I will host today's
New Year's Eve feast,
to make it up to Zhong-Huo
Very well
That's very generous of you.
Thank you very much
To realise wrong is to change.
Master must set an example
I've got the chicken, duck and fish.
Who will kill the chicken?
Him. Him
Me, to kill the chicken? Yes
Gao Jian-Fu
Okay
You are just a vegetarian,
I'll do the killing
Alright. Good good, good
Go and be busy. Good
Is Mr Luo here?
Zhong-Huo,
there is someone looking for you
Mr Luo,
my master wants me to deliver
this letter to you
Tell Mr Fang,
I'll come over after the feast
Very well, I'll run along first
Ke-Jiang has agreed with our plans
He instructed us to be careful
when in contact with Fang's Tong
Fang Hong-Zhi has taken over
the Beggars Gang
That may be more beneficial for us
He wants to see me tonight,
to discuss the orphanage
Before, when we left you on your own
sorry about that
When I return, you can do a
Chrysanthumum painting for me
I'm going to kill the chicken.
Pan Da-Wei, you going to say a prayer?
So many red packets
Zhong-Huo is here. I've been doing
this all day, and my back is sore
No wonder Guang-Xing Tong
is so vibrant
even the red packets
are handled by the Tong's leader
By your good fortunes
This year, we've taken in two
thousand members more
just red packets alone,
This one is for you
No, no, that's not necessary
This is a Cantonese custom,
all Singles gets one
Are you married?
No
well, thank you Mr Fang
Kung Hei Fat Choi
No matter how it's said,
it's still harsh to my ears
Could you change
the 'Mister' title?
By age, I'd only be your older brother
Then, thanks very much Brother Fang
That's much easier on the ears
Big Brother
Mr Luo is also here
Big Brother, aren't you done
with the stamping yet?
You just hurry me rather
than help me
alright, let us talk about
the matter of the orphanage
Bring us some tea
Guang-Xing Tong's membership
have strengthened this year
We should really do something
for charity
Zhong-Huo mentioned an orphanage,
that's a great opportunity
That'd be great,
if Big Brother really thought that way
I thought Big Brother
would take the lead
and I'd go door to door
to gather donations
How about this?
Let us hold a Charity Auction
How do we do that?
We'll get every wealthy family
from the provincial capital
to donate a piece of valuable
for the auction
with all proceeds going towards
the Tzu Chi Foundation's orphanage
I think it will work
Liao, you go and prepare
for the auction to be
held on January 15th
Good
Big Brother,
we'll get Mr Luo to be our consultant
Nonsense.
Why would Zhong-Huo roll with us?
Big Brother, by these words;
you mean...
Big Brother,
you continue the discussion
I'll go and help pass out
the red packets
Mr Luo, Happy New Year.
May your heart's desires come true
May all hearts' desires come true
Lord...
Better than the last batch
In the new year, the British
will have another shipment arriving
Liao
I picked you for the Police
not just for the opium
I understand
Fang Hong-Zhi favours you
because you're connected to me
and I favour you because
you're connected to Guang-Xing Tong
The work at the Police Office
has to be done
but your position at the Tong
should not be taken away by someone
Thanks for your reminder, Lord Li
Don t worry,
that Luo is no competition to me
Happy Chinese New Year
Same wish to you
Come in
Why are you getting the door?
Where's the servant?
I let her go home for
the New Year
Who doesn't want to be with
their family for the Spring Festival
I am used to being on my own anyway
Have a seat
May I have a cup of coffee?
Coffee beans
You've really got them
I thought you were just bluffing
about getting it
Didn't Mr Fang come by?
He came by for a short while
on New Year's Eve
Said he'd be busy for
the next two days visiting every Tong
Still has to go around to greet
the other Tongs, he'll be busy
He'll come by to see you
after all his visits
Big brother and I
we're not what you think we are
Check and see if it's okay?
Actually, he has never
stayed here overnight
He never has
He told me that
I resemble his younger sister
His sister died of hunger
when they were on the run
she died in his arms
He said
I looked very much
like his younger sister
That's why he bought my freedom
without ever touching me
For these past 15 years
he has always treated me as his sister
But you don't want him to be
like just a brother
So you have noticed
I told him I wanted to get married
He asked me who I was going to marry
I told him that I haven't found anyone yet
Actually
I wanted to know how important
I am to him
And then?
And then...
I'd be his sister for
the rest of my life
Please excuse me for
asking you to do this
My pleasure
Are you sure they can see us?
Big Brother always has
someone guarding here
Does that prove that
I am important to him?
I have always wanted to ask you
Is an orphanage worthwhile
for you to
do all these crazy things?
Crazy?
If anything goes wrong
the Beggars Gang will attack
and you may be killed
Then, with me standing here
making Mr Fang angry
won't I be killed?
You never thought of that, did you?
It's like when you're flying a kite
you would only look up to the kite
and rarely be aware of the danger
awaiting below your feet
No, he won't.
Brother Fang is a reasonable man
I know, that's why I dare to stand here
You haven't told me yet
Is an orphanage really that important?
From your perspective,
it may just be a shelter for orphans
But for me,
that's a place where fate
can be changed
Children there will not only be
well fed, but well kept
they will also learn about
looking for things in life,
that are more important than
eating and sleeping
Ideals and goals
Then in their pursuit of
their ideals and goals
they will change the world
Compared to you,
my goal is just mere and minute
Not really,
your actual goal for change, too
To change Mr Fang's attitude of life
is to bring change to half
of the provincial capital
I forgot to mention
Mr Fang has agreed to help
raise funds for the orphanage
There will be a charity auction
held on January 15th (Lunar Calendar)
I wonder what I said
Two, Three
Seven pieces more to go
Today's only the third day of
the Lunar New Year
Relax Brother Liao,
it'll all be done by the Fifteenth
You all recognize him
Yes, we do
Later, we'll arrest the
culprit with the goods
Yes
Obviously, they don't know
about their donations
Brother Liao's men told me
all the valuables to
be auctioned were stolen
The culprit he has trapped, is you
Your father may not realize
With his concept,
robbery can be taken
as a charitable cause
Are you doubting your father's
fundamental ability to differentiate?
Don't you want to know the truth?
I really want to know
Dear Benefactors. Dear Guests
Thanks for your attendance
at this charity auction
The charity auction will commence
Coming up, our first valued item;
up for bidding today
Wait
since this is a charity auction,
we should introduce our
philanthropists first
Mr Luo,
I don't think it's necessary
to waste our guests' time
It's more important to
promote than just to do charity
How would that waste time?
On behalf of Tzu Chi Foundation,
I'd like to thank Mr Fang Hong-Zhi
Mr. Fang has invited all our
benefactors here today
A round of applause to
welcome Mr Fang onto the stage
Thank you, thank you everyone
for your support
Originally I thought
I would spearhead a donation drive
for every family to make a contribution
Then I heard
there were robbers in our provincial
capital during the festive season
As you all know,
Brother Liao is a Police Inspector
He hasn't rested during
the Spring Festival
and has recovered most
of the stolen valuables
So I took the initiative
and used the recovered
goods as donation
to this auction
If anyone disagrees,
allow me to make amends first
Our goal is to raise
It will be great
if we accomplish this figure
If not, I will personally
make up the difference
Okay
Let's begin
This small time thieving
is not our style
You should formally use my
invitation and knock on their doors
Do you still need me
to teach you?
If Wei-Ru didn't remind me today
the reputation of Guang-Xing Tong
would be all diminished by you
Big Brother
Whatever the consequences, you decide
Get up
Get up and don't be a laughing
stock to the others
I've donated three thousand
dollars today,
half will be your share
it's not about the money,
it's to give you a reminder
Big Brother, Big Brother
Brother Liao, Brother Liao
Go, these are for Big Brother to see
I... l'll go?
If you don't go, should I go for you?
Yes
Go
You don't know this is
used to brew coffee?
Good thing Mr. Luo knows
I thought it was some sort of ornament
I am talking to you
I'd like you to set up a meeting
for tea with Long-Gui Tong's leader
Long-Gui Tong
That baldy who was blatantly staring
at me the last time we had dinner?
Yeah...
I'm afraid of him
You have a few cups of tea with him,
then leave when I arrive
He would risk any danger
to meet with you
Big Brother tells me to go,
then I will go
If he was to get physical, I...
I wouldn't give him that chance
Are you all dressed up
to see me today?
I've asked you out a few times
and you didn't come
Are you in a better mood now?
That's impossible!
Is it because Jiang Mei-Xi can't
possibly die
or that my Dad can't possibly
kill her?
Wei-Ru, this is no child's play
Master, I'm not making up
stories to entertain you
My Dad,
he won't let you go so easily
his next target will be you
Wei-Ru is here
Ke-Jiang's fast
all the weapons and ammunition
will be in Hong Kong in a few days
It's a big shipment,
we have to think of a way to
bring in that stuff
Also, Tzu Chi Foundation
has received the donations
and has written a thank you
letter to your father
What happened?
Someone delivered an invitation,
and said it was for Zhong-Huo
Wei-Ru is correct
Fang Hong-Zhi has invited him
to a lavish banquet
I'll go
Hey, do you have a death wish?
What really happened?
Insane, they're all crazy
You go then
What if there was poison in the tea
Then it will fulfill me
and Ms Jiang's destiny
as we'll be a pair
of dead love birds
I gave her the name of Mei-Xi
Beautiful, Bright, Pure
You've ruined everything,
and still have the gall to face me
That just says two things
Firstly, I'm hungry
Second, I've nothing to hide
Serve dinner
Please, Mr Luo
These chopsticks...
should strength be applied to both
or just one side?
I can't really use them well
Of course, apply strength
to both at the same time
No wonder
But Ms Jiang was always just performing
a solo act
She asked for my assistance
Every time I go to her place...
to stop at the doorway
and linger for a little while
And while in her bedroom,
to stand right by the window
then occasionally, to make an
appearance at the balcony
just to let those guards see us
and then to inform you
She is this chopstick,
you are the other
She desperately tried to
do one thing with you as a pair
but you showed no response
What are you talking about?
Speak in a way so that
I can understand
Love
Do you understand?
Ms Jiang didn't want to be your sister
She wanted to live like the rumours
that she's your lover,
mistress, anything
She didn't want to
be just your sister
Was she in need of
anything else better?
All these years I have given her
whatever she wanted
Pearl, amber, diamonds,
what else did she want?
You, she wanted you
She allowed me to help her
to put on this act for you
to provoke you,
to stress her importance to you
She succeeded
she just didn't expect
an ending like this
Why did she choose you
Because you favoured me
Big Brother
I know this may not be the right time
But I have an urgent shipment from
HK which needs to be transported here
Which day
The sooner the better
There'll be a ship returning from
Hong Kong the day after tomorrow
That shipment got everything
Guang-Xing Tong doesn't know what it is,
they're just responsible for transporting
Early morning on the day after,
pick up at Tian Zi Pier
Thank you, Big Brother
Haven't really had dinner,
Big Brother will make it up another day
You go first
I want some solitude
The government won't search
Guang-Xing Tong's merchandise
But Liao will definitely
know what is inside
And he'll definitely take this
as his merit to Lord Li
Wei and I have been thinking
we'll use a wedding as a cover
There will be a big shipment
so the wedding party has to
be really big
Also the bride needs to be heavy
a fat woman?
Yes, to be able to subdue Liao
How fat does she need to be?
Me?
I'm not fat
But you can subdue Liao
at least he wouldn't dare to do
anything when he sees you
He doesn't dare to upset your dad
and then?
You have to choose a husband
Choose me, choose m
Master
I'm also available
Today is the Seventh day
since her death
Now you know, my dad is cold-blooded
His way of living has been destined
Sometimes he can't help doing
things against his heart
He can choose another way of living
The right to choose is not
always within our grasp
Oh yes
Thank you for choosing me to
act as your groom
This is just work, it's not for real
But we are more fortunate
than Ms Jiang
At least we can experience
the feeling of marriage before death
Death?
I've signed up to join
the Suicide Squad
Therefore I hope Ms Jiang
will bless us from above,
for us to succeed tomorrow
This is the only way
we can join the rebellion
Inspector, there are 4 to 5 men who
boarded the boat, and haven't returned
No one got into the water,
nothing happened
Stay alert. Yes
What is that sound?
Want to fool me with a 'wedding act'?
Ready for action
Yes
Luo Zhong-Huo,
this is your death date
Wait till they alight from the boat,
bring some men to intercept them
Yes, Inspector
The bride is coming!
Come, be careful
Come, the bride is coming, be careful
careful
Wait What? Inspector
I said wait, don't you hear me?
How come she's here?
Crazy
Come in and have a seat
Alright, raise the sedan
Inspector,
once they are on the street,
it will be hard for us to take any action
No, don't touch the bride,
she's the daughter of
Guang-Xing Tong's master
But Inspector,
we have an lmperial order
Kill all rebels, no exceptions
even if it means killing the innocent
Even killing the innocent.
Do you know who gave you
your biddings at the casino?
Even Lord Li wants to
take her as his God-daughter
You dare to touch her
Listen, Ah-Jiang
Take some men and
bring back that bride's sedan
And take it away as far as you can
Arrest those people,
kill whoever resists
Understood
I'm getting married, what is it Sir?
I suspect you to be transporting
weapons for the revolutionists
Search them
Sir, revolutionists will be executed
You can't speak lightly of this
I'm sure the proof is
right beneath the dowries
What if you cannot find them?
Cannot find them
I will let you go if
I cannot find them
You have to honour your words
Reveal the dowries for them to see
Sir
Now will you return my bride back?
Where are the stuff?
What stuff?
Why are you mixed up
with these people?
We're just having fun putting on
a play-wedding, why can't we?
I'll tell your father,
when I get back
Tell him if you like
I know why you're angry
Next time when I put on a play-wedding
again, I'll pick you as the groom!
I'm hungry, take me home
Raise the sedan
Watch the Miss closely.
If she goes out, tail her tightly
Yes
I was not allowed to kill Lord Li,
but here comes this Wan San-Choy
who killed Fu Qi
I think he actually wanted to kill Li,
but killed the wrong person
Delaying the rebellion,
for how many days?
Everything has to wait for further
instructions from Hong Kong
Wait! We still have to wait again
Their target was not Fu Qi
It was me
Why are the revolutionists
so maniacal?
This tells; they plan for
something big soon
I am blocking their moves
That's why you have to pay
extra attention
and increase manpower at all barricades
I, Li Zhun will be the thorn
in the palm of the revolutionists
My Lord
I have discovered
the secret hiding place for
the leaders of the revolution
It's possibly the painting
studio at No. 1 Pao Kan Road
Close down the place
Arrest all the people
and bring them back
Shift the Patrol teams at Liao Hua Shan
and Yin Tong back to the PC
Confiscate all the guns from
the New Army
Yes
Open the door, search!
Quickly
You guys come here
I'm sure I saw Miss coming here
I told you to watch her closely
Idiot!
Come. Come. Come.
Put everything in here
over there as well. Ok
Come, we will go this way
Thank you
Is one enough?
That's enough
Brother Ke-Jiang
Zhong-Huo. You are here
I heard you're married
This is the bride
No, no
With tea to drink, this will be
just like a Command Centre
Ke-Jiang, you're here
I heard a painter of
tigers moved in here too
also, there's a painter
of chrysanthumums
Ke-Jiang My good brother
You are here
There's a bomb maker here too
Zhong-Huo, this is
the famous bomb maker, Yu Pei-Lun
How are you?
These two are from Fujiang:
Lin Wen.
How are you?
Lin Jue-Min. How are you?
This gentleman does not
need an introduction
He is the gang's famous son-in-law,
Luo Zhong-Huo
Just kidding
nice to meet you
Glad you're here. Nice to meet you
Good, everyone is here,
let's go in and talk
Come
Why aren't women allowed?
That doesn't make sense, didn't you
say that all people are equal?
Why don't we go and
raise a little hell
because I can't join
the Suicide Squad anyway
No way
They want me to guard
the territory of the Newspaper
I cannot reveal my identity
There'll be a lot of follow-up
work after the rebellion
and continue to release the news
Join me for the follow-up work
Follow-up? What is that?
I don't want to
Wei, come over
The Chinese in Nanyang are
very supportive to us
They receive news from
different sources
What does this mean?
Because Fu Qi was assassinated
by Wan
the rebellion has to be
postponed for 14 days
This telegram is to warn the
Yui Xin crew not to come
We still have to delay some more
Li Zhun ordered the confiscation
of all guns from the New Army
Without the guns,
bullets are useless
Three ships of Qing army will be relocated
back to fortify their defence today
They just started to
strengthen their defence
these few days
When did we start to prepare?
It took us so a lot of effort to
get the weapons here
The Suicide teams from various places
will be arriving these two days
But without any co-ordination
from the New Army
We'd be like throwing eggs
against rocks
Jiong-Ming and Yi-Shen's message is
To slow down and suspend
To suspend, would mean to disperse
If Jiong-Ming and Yi-Sheng don't
want to do it, they can retreat
Whoever doesn't want to
do it can withdraw
As a last resort, I can just
go to the Chancellor's Mansion
and bomb Zhang Ming-Qi
Is the point of our rebellion to
just kill a president or two?
If it was that simple,
we can just kill the Emperor
and have it done with
How many times do I have to
say it to make you guys understand
Ke-Jiang
If we say the Qing Government
had no defence
Do you think we'll succeed?
To succeed is definitely our wish
But we have already failed
nine times previously
That's why this time
we shouldn't even think
we'll succeed
This is the tenth time
and then, there'll be the eleventh time
and the twelfth
China has been asleep for too long
and cannot be awakened
by just a couple of explosions
The reason why we're here,
is to achieve what is unattainable
To sacrifice our lives,
is to inspire our descendants
Pei-Lun said
We have to plan the most
glorious funeral for ourselves
The explosions will be
our Trophies of Flower
It will be a glorious funeral
It seems like you will all be
in this funeral now
On the 27th
the day after tomorrow
Thanks to Heaven and Earth
my efforts for 3 months in making
these bombs would have been wasted
When will you be returning this time
I can't say
Our country is in a mess,
don't come back if you can't do it
To hell with their mess,
we keep drinking and earning our money
Zhong-Huo
I'd like to advise you
The world is like this wine,
it wasn't fermented overnight
and its taste can't be changed
Who said that wine has to
be just one flavour
Westerners drink wine,
brandy and whisky
I think we should drink
whatever we want to drink
Everyone have their own ideals
But you have to remember
Whenever you return,
this seat is always reserved for you
Come
Your words will be in my heart
Big Brother
Can you keep Wei-Ru at home tomorrow?
Why?
She said she wants to run away from home,
and come to Nanyang with me
That girl
has been spoilt and getting worse
I'll have her locked up tomorrow
Pei-Lun
Can you handle that many by yourself?
These explosives are nothing
As I toss them out one by one,
it will get lighter and lighter
Keep bluffing,
just don't bomb yourself
So what? I can handle it
even with just one shoulder
Let's go
Be careful! Careful!
Don't think you've written
your last will
this is my fourth
I've done three previously
Do you need pen and paper? No
I have written mine in Malaya
I'm drawing this for you
Mr. Sun said you like to draw
wilted chrysanthumums
I've changed
Blossoming chrysanthumums
can illustrate their fragrance and
grandeur even better
Standing proudly against
the southern chills
I have always wanted to
ask you why
Why what
To journey thousands of miles
to Guangzhou
To raise funds, to buy weapons,
and then to die
You don't look like
a hot-tempered person
We both clearly know
that Mr Sun's 'Three Principles of
the People' has a long way to go
At the moment we were born,
we start to lose
we lose our childhood,
lose our youth, lose our lover
and keep losing until
we lose our lives
What is there to prove our existence?
To prove that we have lived?
A funeral where explosives
become Trophies of Flower
It's not an opportunity
for everyone
At least during this
farce-filled era
We can prove
that our lives are not a farce
If this painting is
lucky enough, tomorrow
no, the day after
return it to me
Good
Have you finished the painting?
Almost
Let me brush on
a few pieces of stones
Brother Wei
Brother Huang said to
bring these letters to you
Your mission is more important than
us bombing the Chancellor's Mansion
Wei
We use our bombs
you use your pen
This will definitely be more
effective than shouting on the street
Is that right?
Master said you were a teacher
in Penang
I have also been a principal
of a high school
Principal Luo, I've got a question
Tell me, if there are so many
places that you haven t visited
so many good food that
you haven't tasted
and die just like this,
won't you regret it?
Even if we visited,
we tasted, we still die,
is there a difference?
But, you're not afraid of dying?
Mr Sun once said, to live
and to die has been destined
nothing can be done
even if one's afraid of it
Understood. I'll go now
Is that how you're going
to bid me farewell?
I won't say goodbye to you
Who says I'm still a woman
Wei-Ru
Where are you going
dressed like that
Nowhere
Then come and spend
some time with me
Then I'll go and change
Why do you lock me up,
open the door!
Somebody, open the door!
Auntie Huang,
it's an emergency, let me out!
Somebody help!
Why do you lock me up?
You're back
Dad, open the door, open the door,
let me out!
Dad, open the door!
Yi Ying my beloved
I write this letter to
bid farewell forever
At the time of this writing,
I'm still amongst the living
But by the time you read this,
I'll be a ghost amongst the living.
Dad
I haven't bid farewell
to them yet
I still haven't said
goodbye to Brother Luo
Open the door, Dad!
Dad, open the door.
Brother Wei
Come in
How is the situation?
Master will provide cover for
Brother Huang to leave the Capital
But we haven't heard any
news from Brother Luo yet
The gates of the Capital only
allow departure and no entry
Have some food first
My reporter's credentials and camera
I'll find out more as a reporter
no one will do anything to me
you should return and wait for my news
Brother Wei, I want to wait here
Have you eaten?
I'm not hungry, Auntie Wei
Is there anything I can help with?
Just waiting without doing
anything makes me mad
Let's say some prayers
Can they really hear it?
At least we can hear it ourselves
Praying can at least
calm ourselves down
After waiting for three days
without your return
I asked Wei-Ru to go home first
How is it?
The corpses lie exposed outside
of the Information Bureau
It is still raining outside
I used my father's reputation to
ask Guang-YanSin Tong
to use Hunghua Gang
The government reluctantly
agreed to have them buried there.
I'm going now
You're going now?
Wait a minute
Here's some money
Here's some mothballs
Bring an umbrella
Yi Ying my beloved
I write this letter to
bid farewell forever
At the time of this writing,
I'm still amongst the living
But by the time you read this,
I'll be a ghost amongst the living
My tears are mixed
with the ink I write
Not knowing what to write,
I lay down my pen
Yet you may misunderstand
my dilemma
and think I desert you
Knowing well you don't want me to leave
So I endure my pains for you
to let you know
