Children of Huang Shi The

00:01:27 What do you say to a few hoops?
00:01:29 Are you out of your mind?
00:01:30 Possibly.
00:01:31 I've been cooped up in a ship for five days.
00:01:33 Well I'm sorry for you, fella,
00:01:34 but I gotta conserve my strength.
00:01:37 I... I get married on Tuesday.
00:01:41 Brilliant.
00:01:45 That's if I get back from Nanjing on time.
00:01:47 I drive for the Red Cross.
00:01:50 Really?
00:01:51 You're going to Nanjing?
00:01:52 Yeah. Two days before my wedding.
00:01:54 I'd say that calls for a drink.
00:01:57 - Okay.
00:01:59 All right.
00:02:13 I repeat. Nanjing is closed to the press.
00:02:16 Ask the Japs. It's their call.
00:02:18 Not ours.
00:02:19 Barnes!
00:02:21 This is my good friend Andy...
00:02:23 ...Fisher.
00:02:25 He's here to see his girl.
00:02:26 I'm George Hogg.
00:02:27 - Hi, Daisy.
00:02:30 An ungrateful shit from
00:02:32 Mr. Fisher and I have already met.
00:02:36 Hey, there you are!
00:02:38 Excuse me, gentlemen?
00:02:41 That's his girl?
00:02:43 He's marrying her on Tuesday.
00:02:45 He won't be here on Tuesday.
00:02:47 He's headed straight for
00:02:51 You bastard! You've got him
00:02:53 Barnes!
00:02:54 How long have we known each other,
00:02:56 Will you excuse us, Mr. Appsley?
00:02:57 Come on, Barnes...
00:02:58 He's not press.
00:03:00 Andy Fisher. Red Cross.
00:03:01 That's why he got a pass.
00:03:15 I made a deal with Andy Fisher.
00:03:18 He gave me
00:03:21 They'll get us into Nanjing.
00:03:23 Barnes, we've got a scoop.
00:03:27 I'm Andy Fisher.
00:03:29 You're David Barcley.
00:03:31 We're accredited drivers
00:03:33 bringing medical supplies to Nanjing.
00:03:36 In this...
00:03:38 Andy Fisher's in love, Barnes.
00:03:41 He wants to get married.
00:03:43 Now everybody's happy.
00:03:44 Christ, you're nuts!
00:03:59 Damn! Eddie!
00:04:00 Eddie?
00:04:01 Eddie Wei. He's in the back.
00:04:02 You know. The photographer from U.P.
00:04:04 I know who the hell he is.
00:04:05 But what's he doing here?
00:04:06 He was desperate to come with us.
00:04:27 Set your watch an hour ahead, Daisy.
00:04:29 We're now on Tokyo time.
00:04:39 Do you want to know
00:04:41 They say they're trying to
00:04:43 But it's chaos over here.
00:04:44 Warlords, corruption, civil war.
00:04:47 The Nationalists against the Communists.
00:04:49 They say they're trying to restore order.
00:04:51 That's all bullshit.
00:04:52 They haven't declared war on China.
00:04:54 I'll tell you why
00:04:57 It's because if they don't declare war,
00:04:58 they don't have to treat captured
00:05:02 They don't have to play
00:05:05 The Japanese are not savages.
00:05:06 But they've decided the Chinese are.
00:05:14 Take a good long look, Daisy.
00:05:16 There's thousands of them,
00:05:19 The next Great War's already begun.
00:05:22 The folks back home just don't know it yet.
00:05:38 The papers say we're both from the States.
00:05:40 So try and talk American.
00:05:42 Of course, old chap.
00:05:51 We're carrying Red Cross supplies...
00:05:54 from the British Government.
00:05:58 This must be searched.
00:06:17 Excuse me, Lieutenant.
00:06:19 These goods have been sterilized.
00:06:23 Your men don't seem to understand...
00:06:26 that these goods...
00:06:29 must be delivered safely.
00:06:42 That's enough. Go back.
00:06:45 Proceed.
00:07:05 If you're not back here
00:07:07 I'll go without you.
00:07:08 Okay.
00:07:14 Good luck, Eddie.
00:11:43 Get me the cigarette.
00:11:52 You are safe now.
00:11:56 What's your name?
00:12:01 What is your nationality?
00:12:06 British?
00:12:08 And you're a journalist?
00:12:10 How did you know that?
00:12:11 Nobody but a journalist
00:12:13 armed with nothing but a sports coat.
00:12:16 The enemy's patrol team is
00:12:18 What is this place?
00:12:19 What's going on? Who are you?
00:12:20 It's the Tax Office.
00:12:21 And my name is Chen. Han-Sheng Chen.
00:12:24 Han-Sheng Chen?
00:12:25 Call me Jack, why don't you.
00:12:29 So, why were they going to kill you?
00:12:32 The Japs usually leave
00:12:35 - I saw something I shouldn't have.
00:12:37 I took photographs. They found them.
00:12:39 Oh. No wonder...
00:12:41 Pardon my ignorance,
00:12:43 They're killing people out there.
00:12:45 We are completely out-numbered here.
00:12:46 And the Japs are better armed.
00:12:48 So we are going to fight another day.
00:12:52 Hold this...
00:12:54 But before we go,
00:12:58 They are very orderly, the Japanese.
00:12:59 They hate it when we
00:13:02 Let's go out. Hurry...
00:13:06 Thank you.
00:13:13 Wait me out there.
00:13:18 We'll try for the British consulate.
00:13:21 They may be able to
00:13:24 You have to leave.
00:13:25 You have to tell the world
00:13:31 I love this part
00:13:41 Come on. Your friends should be this way.
00:13:50 Take it easy, Daisy.
00:13:53 I have a pass.
00:13:54 I have a pass in my pocket.
00:13:55 Shoot him!
00:13:56 There's nothing we can do.
00:14:00 Shoot him!
00:14:01 You're too reckless, George.
00:14:55 Shoot him... Shoot him...
00:14:59 Hey...
00:15:02 You were hit pretty bad.
00:15:05 Was I? I didn't feel a thing.
00:15:08 Must've been the cold numbing the pain.
00:15:11 Most of your blood's
00:15:15 - I decided you'll live.
00:15:18 I hope you're going to thank him
00:15:21 Thank you once again.
00:15:23 She was talking to me. Right, Lee?
00:15:26 So. You are in a hospital bed.
00:15:30 - What?
00:15:33 What about you?
00:15:35 You didn't learn your English at Berlitz,
00:15:38 West Point.
00:15:40 - I thought you were a Communist
00:15:43 Figure it out yourself.
00:15:44 And when you do, you will understand
00:15:53 I never thought of you
00:15:56 Not male ones, anyhow.
00:15:58 I can't just dump him out here, can I?
00:16:01 Well he won't be up to
00:16:04 I can't get him back to Shanghai.
00:16:07 So, Miss Pearson.
00:16:09 I'm going to do with
00:16:12 - who can't speak a word of Chinese.
00:16:23 Jack!
00:16:24 Have you ever heard of
00:16:29 You know I came back to
00:16:32 Now I'm teaching peasants
00:16:35 To tell you the truth, it's much more fun.
00:16:38 Seriously.
00:16:39 Seriously. I travel around to
00:16:43 and try to stay ahead
00:16:46 I have to leave tomorrow.
00:16:47 Take me with you.
00:16:51 How fit do I need to be to
00:16:53 I'm not worried about you.
00:16:56 I'm worried about the poor bastards
00:16:59 But there is a place up in the North-West.
00:17:02 It's called Huang Shi.
00:17:04 It's somewhere you can pick up
00:17:07 and work on your Chinese
00:17:09 before you go on to the front.
00:17:18 Very good.
00:17:19 Did you understand it?
00:17:20 I certainly did. You said -
00:17:23 "Let me introduce myself."
00:17:25 "I am a pumpkin."
00:17:30 This area is controlled
00:17:32 this by our Nationalist brothers-in-arms.
00:17:36 You will take the train
00:17:39 and Huang Shi's right about here.
00:17:41 That's where you're going.
00:17:48 - Chen?
00:17:53 What's the matter?
00:17:55 No. They are not.
00:17:57 They're the government troops
00:17:59 - Nationalists?
00:18:00 - I thought you were brothers.
00:18:02 I thought you were fighting together
00:18:06 When it suits them - or us.
00:18:09 This could be one of those times. Or...
00:18:12 ...maybe not.
00:18:17 What are they doing here?
00:18:18 They are conscripts.
00:18:20 They like to take them
00:18:22 so they are less likely to run away.
00:18:47 They're trapped...
00:18:56 Leave. Hurry!
00:20:49 Hello?
00:20:53 Hello?
00:21:02 Who's in charge here?
00:21:15 This is for the person in charge.
00:21:19 I said,
00:21:21 this is for the person in charge.
00:21:24 Esteemed Headmaster...
00:21:26 I have the pleasure of introducing...
00:21:30 the great Oxford University scholar...
00:21:34 George...
00:21:36 Pig.
00:21:40 I am in charge, Mister... Pig.
00:21:46 It says 'Pig'.
00:21:52 How is it you speak English?
00:21:54 I'm not a peasant like these others.
00:21:56 I am Liu Shi-Kai.
00:21:58 My father is a Government Official.
00:22:03 Hello?
00:22:06 You think I can cook with just a pot?
00:22:10 Come and see...
00:22:15 I have nothing... look.
00:22:20 All I have is this.
00:22:31 Grown-ups.
00:22:34 Teachers.
00:22:35 Where?
00:22:37 Gone... all gone.
00:22:41 Do you have any rice?
00:23:17 Get up.
00:23:20 Get up.
00:23:31 Hurry
00:23:49 Who's there?
00:24:13 Miss Lee
00:24:14 The boys have taken the Englishman.
00:24:26 That's enough!
00:24:29 Touch him again...
00:24:31 I'm out of here forever.
00:24:34 She's bluffing.
00:24:35 You give me one good reason
00:24:51 Here. Let me take a look at that.
00:24:53 You're the nurse, aren't you? Lee...
00:24:56 Lee Pearson.
00:24:57 How do you do? I'm George -
00:24:59 I know who you are.
00:25:01 It was my idea to send you here.
00:25:04 'The great Oxford University scholar.'
00:25:09 Jack Chen has given you
00:25:12 Except he's called you 'Mr. Pig'.
00:25:16 It's not that funny.
00:25:24 He's a very nasty bit of work, that one.
00:25:26 I can't think why.
00:25:29 He only saw his father beheaded,
00:25:30 his mother raped and beheaded,
00:25:32 his sister raped and beheaded...
00:25:35 After that they lined him
00:25:38 He's a smart kid.
00:25:39 He waited until he felt the guy
00:25:41 Stop. Please.
00:25:43 Nanjing. I was there.
00:25:45 Jack told me.
00:25:46 That's why I thought you'd be good here.
00:25:48 You're going to need
00:25:50 One they can actually say.
00:25:55 Ho-ke.
00:25:56 You're out of your mind
00:25:58 I didn't come half way round the world
00:26:00 to play nanny to a bunch of savages.
00:26:01 - Okay.
00:26:03 if you'd kindly point me in the
00:26:06 I said okay.
00:26:09 Why do they give you such a wide berth?
00:26:12 Out here people die all the time.
00:26:14 Typhus, cholera, tetanus.
00:26:16 Anyone gives me any trouble,
00:26:18 I just tell them:
00:26:19 'One day you graze yourself.
00:26:20 You'll think it's nothing.'
00:26:22 'Next day you wake up with a fever.'
00:26:24 'You think it's a cold. That's all.'
00:26:26 'Pretty soon your bones ache,
00:26:29 your jaw locks,
00:26:32 '... and slowly, very,
00:26:36 In my bag I have vaccines
00:26:39 If I go, the bag goes with me. So...
00:26:43 Who's going to mess with me?
00:26:45 Why don't they just close this school
00:26:46 and send the boys home to their families?
00:26:48 This isn't a school.
00:26:49 It looks like a school.
00:26:51 This is an orphanage.
00:26:53 Every one of them
00:26:56 Now you want to find your war,
00:26:57 Mr. Hogg? Look around.
00:26:59 Because they don't need a teacher.
00:27:00 What they need is someone who can
00:27:20 The beds are crawling with lice.
00:27:23 The kids are too.
00:27:25 How adorable.
00:27:26 No joke.
00:27:27 Body lice carry typhus.
00:27:30 Okay. Now for the boys.
00:27:33 What are you going to do?
00:27:34 Boil them? Jolly good!
00:27:36 Flea powder.
00:27:37 I haven't been able to
00:27:40 But the thing is to figure out how to
00:27:44 I'm sure you'll manage.
00:27:49 Ho-Ke has lice on him.
00:27:51 Scratch.
00:27:54 The lice could make him sick.
00:28:00 This powder will kill the lice...
00:28:04 but will do him no harm to him.
00:28:08 Smile.
00:28:12 So Ho-Ke is very happy.
00:28:15 Now take off your clothes.
00:28:18 Oh, for Pete's sake,
00:28:35 Hands...
00:29:07 Slow down
00:29:08 Don't do that, the water is cold.
00:29:20 Here's to you, George.
00:29:21 I haven't had a real coffee since Shanghai.
00:29:24 So, why China?
00:29:26 Because it's in trouble.
00:29:28 Because everyone back home
00:29:30 - waiting for the next war.
00:29:32 It's like being stuck in a cellar
00:29:35 I went to the States first.
00:29:37 Hitchhiked across the country - twice.
00:29:40 But they're hunched down in their
00:29:43 "War? What war, mister?
00:29:46 We're in a Depression here."
00:29:49 And so then I went on to Japan.
00:29:51 Learned some Japanese.
00:29:53 And they'll tell you
00:29:55 - just ask them.
00:29:59 And then I went to Nanjing.
00:30:02 And I saw unspeakable things.
00:30:06 I begged Jack Chen to kill a man.
00:30:09 I never knew I had hate like that in me.
00:30:12 Everybody feels hate sometimes
00:30:15 No. Not us.
00:30:18 You see, my family are pacifists.
00:30:21 And not just your quiet,
00:30:22 normal, private pacifists
00:30:25 they're famous for it.
00:30:28 My mother had Gandhi to tea.
00:30:32 And my father
00:30:36 He's the bravest man I know.
00:30:40 And now I think they're wrong.
00:30:43 I think there are times one must fight.
00:31:09 Couldn't sleep?
00:31:12 Me neither.
00:31:15 One of the kids had 'the runs.'
00:31:17 God-awful mess.
00:31:20 - You can keep the mule, by the way.
00:31:23 I've got a bunch of medical stations to run.
00:31:25 I only stopped off to bring you that grain.
00:31:28 My guess, it'll last you about three weeks.
00:31:32 After that, you'll have to
00:31:34 It's up to you.
00:31:35 But when will you be back?
00:31:37 May.
00:31:38 But this is March!
00:31:39 They're like kids anywhere, George.
00:31:41 They need to be warm,
00:31:44 Now if you can manage even one of those,
00:31:46 you'll be ahead of the game.
00:31:47 Now you listen to me.
00:31:49 I'm not staying here.
00:31:50 You find someone else!
00:31:51 There is no-one else.
00:31:52 You have to stay, George.
00:32:01 Bugger.
00:33:25 It keeps the wind out.
00:33:28 Rip it off.
00:34:04 You. Come and help me?
00:34:07 Yes, you. Come.
00:34:25 Thank you
00:34:34 Stones
00:34:48 Chair.
00:34:50 Chair.
00:34:53 Student.
00:34:56 Student.
00:34:59 Student. That's you.
00:35:05 Teacher.
00:35:06 I guess that means me.
00:35:10 - Student. Teacher.
00:35:12 - I'm looking for Merchant Wang.
00:35:22 Where would I find Merchant Wang?
00:35:35 Hello, My name is Hogg
00:35:39 I am looking for Merchant Wang
00:35:42 Please excuse my poor house, Mr. Hogg.
00:35:45 It has fallen on evil times.
00:35:48 The war?
00:35:49 War. Revolution.
00:35:54 So many ways to spend
00:35:59 I take only solid currencies.
00:36:01 If you can only pay in
00:36:04 I'm afraid, will have to double.
00:36:07 I should like to pay in vegetables.
00:36:11 Vegetables are solid currency.
00:36:16 - English humour.
00:36:19 - we do all the work.
00:36:21 You take your share of the harvest.
00:36:23 Crops fail, Mr. Hogg.
00:36:33 What is this?
00:36:38 Durham wheat.
00:36:39 Last year's harvest.
00:36:44 Red lentils.
00:36:46 I shouldn't think
00:36:49 We can do business.
00:36:53 Please come again, Mr. Hogg.
00:36:55 And send my regards to Miss Pearson.
00:36:58 Yes, of course.
00:37:24 Hope god will listen to us
00:37:27 Let us have a good harvest
00:38:39 It's good to be back.
00:38:42 I'm sure you'll be pleased.
00:38:46 Wei-Ping.
00:38:48 - 'Dohh'
00:38:50 Say it in English.
00:38:51 This is a dog.
00:38:53 Doh.
00:38:54 Dog.
00:38:56 Do-g.
00:38:59 - Dog.
00:39:01 - Dog.
00:39:03 Dog.
00:39:05 - Dog.
00:39:08 Don't be afraid.
00:39:09 Dog...
00:39:11 Dog...
00:39:13 Dog...
00:39:19 Why the lamp is off?
00:39:24 Shi-kai! Don't!
00:39:44 Oh Shi-Kai...
00:39:47 You won't be able to save him, you know.
00:39:50 You might be able to
00:39:54 No more.
00:39:57 You never told me
00:40:00 Freedom, I guess.
00:40:03 And what happens?
00:40:05 I end up in a dark hovel
00:40:06 with centuries of soot falling on my head...
00:40:08 ...doing an amputation by candlelight.
00:40:10 You're a surgeon, then?
00:40:12 When a man's dying of gangrene,
00:40:13 he tends not to
00:40:17 When there's no-one else,
00:40:19 you do what has to be done.
00:40:21 I'm not really a nurse, either.
00:40:24 Just like you. You're not really a teacher.
00:40:28 We're all something different in China.
00:40:32 I was supposed to be
00:40:34 but I couldn't play bridge.
00:40:37 Funny how life works out.
00:40:43 What on earth?
00:40:45 It's my one treasure.
00:40:47 - Do you dance, George?
00:40:49 Oh, come on. Sure you do.
00:41:16 It's good to see you, Lee.
00:41:55 Are you going to stay?
00:41:57 Oh, I think so.
00:42:00 Awhile. And you?
00:42:04 I think so.
00:42:06 Yes.
00:42:31 You know nothing!
00:42:33 You stupid Gansu peasant.
00:43:08 Let's take a look at this.
00:43:17 Now let me see here...
00:43:21 That's horrible.
00:43:23 Brush your teeth every day.
00:43:27 - Ching...
00:43:34 "Though I am old with wandering...
00:43:36 "Through hollow lands and hilly lands..."
00:43:38 Ho-Ke...
00:43:39 "I'll find out where she has gone..."
00:43:42 "And kiss her lips and take her hands"
00:43:45 "And walk among
00:43:51 Ching?
00:43:59 It's all right.
00:44:01 You're safe.
00:44:43 How's Uncle Jing today?
00:44:44 His tumor is worse
00:44:46 - and he wants more pipe.
00:44:48 It'll kill him now.
00:44:50 Maybe that won't be such a bad thing.
00:44:53 I heard today,
00:44:54 the Nationalists have found
00:44:57 They're going to behead all the addicts.
00:45:00 I heard the same thing.
00:45:02 Addicts - and people who deal in opium.
00:45:06 The Japanese
00:45:10 So, Miss Pearson.
00:45:11 What can I do for you?
00:45:18 I was hoping you might
00:45:20 Nobody's got sulfa powder.
00:45:27 It will be sad for your friend.
00:45:28 Nobody to talk to but those boys.
00:45:32 I think he will be lonely.
00:45:33 I think he'll be just fine.
00:45:35 You say that
00:45:40 Well you should go visit him,
00:45:41 if you think he's so lonely.
00:45:43 I don't have time for the
00:45:47 What do you have in the way of morphine?
00:45:54 That's all you've got?
00:45:55 No. But you're not my only customer.
00:46:02 Take opium instead.
00:46:04 You know what they say about opium.
00:46:06 You still feel the pain,
00:46:25 Six months ago they were filthy,
00:46:29 - and of no value to anyone.
00:46:31 And now...
00:46:33 I'm very impressed.
00:46:35 I have to confess, Mr. Hogg.
00:46:37 I did not think you could do it.
00:46:39 I have to confess, Mrs. Wang, neither did I.
00:46:45 I hope you will do me
00:46:55 Good Lord, it's in English.
00:46:57 Where did you get it?
00:47:00 A Missionary gave it to me for
00:47:02 being a... very good girl.
00:47:08 'The Silk Road.'
00:47:11 It was the link between the East and West
00:47:16 It seemed appropriate.
00:47:18 Thank you.
00:47:22 May it seal our friendship.
00:47:26 Yes.
00:47:58 - Where have you come from?
00:48:01 - Lingbao.
00:48:02 Lingbao?
00:48:03 We've walked for two days.
00:48:07 I hate Japanese jet
00:48:09 Don't worry, they often fly over.
00:48:13 What's his name?
00:48:16 - Number Four.
00:48:19 And they are... let's see...
00:48:21 Number One.
00:48:22 Number Two.
00:48:24 Number Three.
00:48:25 Number Four!
00:48:30 Lie Down
00:49:57 They are turning back, who are they?
00:50:23 Try to sleep.
00:50:34 No. No.
00:50:36 Lao Si.
00:50:38 - Ching?
00:50:43 Good night.
00:51:12 Not wounded!
00:51:14 Not wounded!
00:51:15 Get him out of here!
00:51:20 We've had forty, no,
00:51:24 who are nothing but piles of bones
00:51:28 They're dying of hunger,
00:51:30 The Nationalists
00:51:33 What's the point of our being here?
00:51:35 None.
00:51:36 They are letting the Japs have Lingbao.
00:51:38 I've been ordered to evacuate.
00:51:41 Well my wounded
00:51:44 Take the ones that will.
00:51:49 Why are you taking off your uniform?
00:51:52 I thought I'd stick around a little longer...
00:51:55 ...prepare a little welcome for the Japs.
00:52:00 Hurry.
00:52:03 Send the most injured first.
00:52:14 I'll make them as comfortable as I can.
00:52:28 Be careful.
00:52:35 Leave right away.
00:52:37 You get on this car.
00:52:41 Jack!!
00:53:30 Leave him.
00:53:31 He's dying. Leave.
00:54:27 George...
00:54:29 My God. Chen!
00:54:33 Chen!
00:54:37 Have you pissed yourself?
00:54:39 Jesus. He's wet the bed!
00:54:45 How is she?
00:54:48 Exhausted.
00:54:49 Lingbao. It was pretty bad.
00:54:53 I was lucky.
00:54:56 She got our before the worst.
00:55:00 Will the Japanese get this far?
00:55:03 Maybe.
00:55:05 Maybe not.
00:55:07 The trouble is,
00:56:07 Can we come in?
00:56:10 Who's this?
00:56:12 Oh. Hello, Ching.
00:56:15 And this... is Lao Si.
00:56:17 I saw a wolf, but I didn't cry.
00:56:20 Oh, my goodness.
00:56:24 Coffee?
00:56:27 And steamed bread, with honey.
00:56:28 Honey?
00:56:32 Come on, Lao Si.
00:56:33 He'll have that bread off you,
00:56:37 His main objective
00:56:44 Is this all right with you?
00:56:47 It's fine.
00:56:49 Ching...
00:56:51 'Bye, 'bye.
00:56:53 'Bye, 'bye.
00:56:56 Lee...
00:57:01 Jack Chen is here.
00:57:03 He's been sick for the last week.
00:57:15 You're impossible, you know.
00:57:18 I thought you were dead as dirt.
00:57:20 It's malaria.
00:57:22 He's had it for years. They all have it.
00:57:26 He'll be on his feet in no time.
00:57:29 They've put a price on
00:57:32 Oh yeah? How much?
00:57:34 Ten thousand yuan.
00:57:37 I say, Jack.
00:57:38 That's about thirty bucks U.S., George.
00:57:41 That hurts my feelings.
00:57:43 It's a fortune around here.
00:57:58 Six...
00:58:00 Qi. Seven.
00:58:04 Quiet
00:58:07 We've got Nationalist visitors.
00:58:09 Stall them if you can.
00:58:13 End of class. Quiet
00:58:23 The Japanese are
00:58:27 If our Nationalist forces
00:58:30 we'll get orders to take over
00:58:36 Then may I conclude you
00:58:42 Well, gentlemen,
00:58:46 I have many things to do.
00:58:59 Oh, one more thing.
00:59:01 Those labourers...
00:59:04 We have no labourers here.
00:59:07 Only children.
00:59:09 - Children?
00:59:10 - This is a school for orphans.
00:59:13 Is this true?
00:59:15 Are they boys?
00:59:17 If they decide to call me a Communist,
00:59:19 they'll close the school
00:59:22 Of course.
00:59:23 And I'm afraid it will
00:59:31 Stay here.
00:59:36 Get out of here!
00:59:41 Go. Just go!
00:59:52 What was all that about?
00:59:54 Bandits.
00:59:55 There's no-one to control them nowadays.
00:59:57 They claim they have opium to sell,
01:00:01 Maybe it would be safer not to sell opium.
01:00:04 Safe?
01:00:06 Nothing is safe.
01:00:07 You neither.
01:00:09 You have all those strong soldier boys.
01:00:11 You are like a farmer with
01:00:17 1, 2, 1...
01:00:25 Stop. Turn back
01:00:29 So where do you propose we take them?
01:00:31 Up the Silk Road.
01:00:34 Through the mountains?
01:00:35 With snow and children,
01:00:40 That's insane.
01:00:42 Actually, I mean to take them further,
01:00:47 Have you ever heard of Shandan?
01:00:50 Shandan's on the edge of the Gobi Desert.
01:00:52 It's about seven hundred miles from here.
01:00:54 Seven hundred miles.
01:00:57 Hogg, there's probably nothing there.
01:00:59 Exactly. There's nothing there.
01:01:02 Nothing anybody could possibly want.
01:01:04 Somewhere they'll be safe.
01:01:08 Chen will come with us
01:01:10 Then he'll turn off and
01:01:13 What about you?
01:01:14 What about me?
01:01:16 Will you go with Jack,
01:01:17 or will you stay with us
01:01:20 Is that what you're asking me?
01:01:23 He's got fire in his belly, that one.
01:01:25 I would like to take him with me
01:01:27 No.
01:01:29 He's not a child.
01:01:30 You're right. He's not.
01:01:33 He hasn't been a child for a very long time.
01:01:45 I believe in each of you.
01:01:50 You're the toughest people I've ever met.
01:01:54 Heavens, you once
01:02:04 It's very hard to leave this place.
01:02:07 I know that.
01:02:09 But I want you to remember one thing.
01:02:13 You've done all this by yourselves.
01:02:18 You can do it all again.
01:02:23 You can do it anywhere.
01:02:57 Wound dressings.
01:02:59 Captured from the Japanese.
01:03:02 Each one of them contains a single,
01:03:06 wrapped around a tablet of morphine.
01:03:08 Handy, huh?
01:03:10 No wounded for us. That's an order.
01:03:22 No! No, I'll take that.
01:03:31 As long as we have something
01:03:34 Yes, I would say so.
01:03:35 But, still, this is an ambitious enterprise.
01:03:39 You are a remarkable man, Mr. Hogg.
01:03:42 I have greatly enjoyed
01:03:53 This is your custom?
01:03:54 When we say goodbye to a great lady.
01:03:58 Well, goodbye, Mr. Hogg.
01:04:00 And farewell.
01:04:11 - Hang-Ger!
01:04:14 - Zuien-ze!
01:04:16 - Xiao Bang!
01:04:19 - Rou-Ding...
01:04:20 - Lao Tung...
01:04:22 Muriel!
01:04:25 - Lao Da...
01:04:27 - Lao San...
01:04:28 - Lao Er...
01:04:29 - Lao Si?
01:04:33 Yu-Lin...
01:04:35 - Shi-Kai...
01:04:39 Yu-Lin!!
01:04:58 Oh, Yu-Lin...
01:05:11 Yu-Lin?
01:05:13 Yu-Lin. It's all right.
01:05:18 We'll make a new garden.
01:05:25 Yu-Lin?
01:05:29 Yu-Lin...
01:05:39 Oh, Ching...
01:06:19 I thought he was happy. I really did.
01:06:23 But we'll never know
01:06:26 Maybe someone, his mother or father
01:06:29 or sister or whoever, said:
01:06:30 "Ching, we have to leave here."
01:06:34 And then something happened.
01:06:37 Something so awful
01:06:43 It doesn't go away.
01:06:46 It never goes away, and I know that.
01:06:49 But all of this
01:06:50 Flowers and honey, and...
01:06:54 I forgot.
01:06:58 I'm sorry, Ching. I forgot.
01:07:10 Be quiet...
01:07:17 Come on, boys. Come on!
01:07:24 Quiet, boys. That's it.
01:07:48 If the wolf wakes you, don't be afraid.
01:07:52 - Just tell him what I said.
01:07:54 I know. Let's go.
01:08:25 Here... I'll take him.
01:08:28 Oh, come on, sleepy head. Sshhh...
01:08:34 Did you give that to him?
01:08:36 Let him keep it, George.
01:08:37 It's who he is.
01:08:42 Right there.
01:08:43 Right there. At the village entrance
01:08:46 Thank you
01:08:48 There is an abandoned farmhouse
01:08:51 We can camp there.
01:08:53 Also, he swears he saw
01:09:03 Shi-Kai. Go and sleep now.
01:09:06 I'll take over.
01:09:09 Shi-Kai, did you hear me?
01:09:14 They're there.
01:09:16 I can smell them.
01:09:45 Drop your guns!
01:09:47 Drop your guns!
01:09:53 Hands up
01:09:56 Shi-Kai!
01:10:00 Shi-Kai! The door!
01:10:05 We have to kill them, you know.
01:10:07 No.
01:10:08 Don't be stupid, George.
01:10:09 They are scouts.
01:10:11 If they get away, they will rejoin their unit.
01:10:16 I'll do it.
01:10:17 I said no!
01:11:24 Shi-Kai!
01:11:29 Leave. Don't watch.
01:11:47 When we reach the Silk Road,
01:11:53 Come on, boys!
01:11:57 Keep moving!
01:11:59 Give you.
01:12:22 Keep up ahead.
01:12:25 Why did you stop?
01:12:29 It's okay.
01:12:36 We're refugees.
01:12:45 Your papers?
01:12:49 We have no papers.
01:12:54 Search their belongings.
01:13:11 My God...
01:13:27 Sir, look at this!
01:13:32 ...a Corporal Kurahara.
01:13:35 No!
01:13:37 No!
01:13:39 No!
01:13:42 We found it.
01:13:44 We found it on a dead soldier.
01:13:49 He shouldn't have taken it.
01:13:54 He's just a child.
01:13:58 Where did you find it?
01:14:03 Shi-Kai! No
01:14:07 Shi-Kai! Put the gun down now!
01:14:14 Quiet!
01:14:18 Shi-Kai!!
01:14:21 Shi-Kai! The wagon!
01:14:30 Shi-Kai!
01:14:33 Shi-Kai!
01:14:37 Don't come over here.
01:14:46 We're moving on.
01:15:23 Lee, I thought you said
01:15:29 Lee!
01:15:34 Lee! Where are you?
01:15:37 I'm here.
01:15:38 Hurry up!
01:15:48 It's all that's left.
01:15:51 What?
01:16:24 He's sleeping?
01:16:30 He won't wake up now.
01:16:33 Sometime in the next hour or two he'll die.
01:16:47 Sleep, Shi-Kai.
01:16:50 Everything's all right now.
01:16:53 Go find them. Okay?
01:16:54 Go find your family.
01:16:56 Sleep... Sleep...
01:18:16 It's okay. Easy... easy...
01:18:27 You will be fine.
01:18:49 You and I have
01:18:52 - we are both from good families.
01:18:54 We have the luxury of our ideals.
01:18:58 Lee - she is the one who's different.
01:19:02 It's never a matter of ideals to her.
01:19:04 It's something deep in her gut.
01:19:07 She can't look at
01:19:11 When it got too much,
01:19:17 Have you ever heard of the Bitter Sea?
01:19:22 It's an old name for China.
01:19:24 What we Chinese do best, is to endure.
01:19:29 We try to keep our heads above water.
01:19:32 That's all.
01:19:35 While the bitter sea swirls around us,
01:19:39 we endure.
01:19:41 But you know,
01:19:46 She doesn't believe in a future,
01:19:48 because like the Chinese,
01:19:51 she doesn't think she deserves one.
01:20:04 George, you're
01:20:47 You thought I was such
01:20:54 Well, now you know.
01:21:00 Now you know.
01:21:09 Well, you're certainly no lady.
01:21:12 You're a brave, beautiful woman.
01:21:17 You're the bravest,
01:22:30 Tell her goodbye for me.
01:23:21 That's the Yellow River.
01:23:24 And just this side of it, Lanzhou.
01:23:29 It is so big.
01:23:47 Stop!
01:24:20 Stop, you two follow me.
01:24:25 Wait.
01:24:44 I am the Magistrate of Lanzhou.
01:24:48 This is Mr Chang Shengyi...
01:24:50 the Chief of Police.
01:24:55 You took more than 60 children...
01:24:59 climbed over Liupan Mountain
01:25:04 To get there?
01:25:07 It's hard to believe.
01:25:09 But it's true.
01:25:10 How long did it take?
01:25:12 Three months!
01:25:13 Three months!
01:25:15 You'll walk 200 miles more to Shandan?
01:25:20 Correct.
01:25:30 I won't allow you walk to Shandan.
01:25:35 It's out of the question.
01:25:39 I have four Dodge trucks.
01:25:44 You can borrow them.
01:25:48 Thank you
01:26:32 - What's happened?
01:26:47 Hogg, do you see that?
01:26:49 Hogg?
01:26:52 Hogg!
01:27:26 Is everybody all right?
01:27:38 Hogg? Are you okay?
01:27:40 Just a scratch.
01:27:45 All right...
01:28:34 My God, where have you
01:28:58 Look!
01:28:59 There it is, beyond the watchtower.
01:29:02 Shandan.
01:29:07 Mr. Hogg, this way please.
01:29:17 Mr. Hogg, please follow me.
01:29:54 I was told to find a building for you.
01:30:05 This is called
01:30:08 The monks left...
01:30:23 Do you think it will do?
01:30:39 Slower...
01:30:48 This is wrong, should be like that.
01:30:55 Hey. Quick.
01:31:01 The light is on, good!
01:31:25 Coffee?
01:31:33 Where on earth did you find this?
01:31:36 Surprise.
01:31:38 I thought I'd lost it...
01:31:43 Celebration.
01:31:49 Are you all right?
01:31:51 Flu, I think.
01:31:53 Tired.
01:31:54 Here. Drink this then I'll take a look at you.
01:32:00 Actually, I...
01:32:04 Hogg!
01:32:07 Hogg?
01:32:11 Rou-Ding. They'll
01:32:15 We've run out of this.
01:32:16 I know... Ho-Ke has tetanus.
01:32:19 Okay, hurry! Please hurry!
01:32:21 Please! Hurry!
01:32:51 Hurry, excuse me.
01:33:40 Wait.
01:33:54 Open the door!
01:34:06 Lee? Lee?
01:34:09 Yeah?
01:34:12 I'm not scared.
01:34:13 No, of course not.
01:34:16 Rou-Ding's coming with serum.
01:34:17 You're going to be fine.
01:34:20 No.
01:34:22 But it's all right.
01:34:25 I don't like to be contradicted, Hogg.
01:34:30 I've been so lucky, Lee.
01:34:37 I've been so lucky.
01:35:38 SHI KAI
01:35:50 Ching...
01:35:55 CHING
01:36:20 He came from a distant land...
01:36:24 but his spirit wished to stay here with us.
01:36:29 Ho-Ke has not left us...
01:36:32 because he gave himself to each of us...
01:36:38 and whatever we do from now on...
01:36:42 we will always be able...
01:36:45 to hear his voice.
01:37:30 Jack...
01:37:32 Oh, Jack...
01:37:35 I only found out a week ago.
01:37:37 Somebody came from Lanzhou.
01:37:41 I'm fine, Jack.
01:37:43 We need you.
01:37:44 The boys are safe now.
01:37:45 They can manage on their own.
01:38:01 Lee. I'm serious.
01:38:05 Maybe these boys don't need me, Jack.
01:38:08 But I need them.
01:38:10 Oh yes, I do need them.
01:38:13 I didn't pee the bed...
01:38:16 If the wolf comes...
01:38:18 I'll say "go away stupid..."
01:38:21 and he'll be frightened and run away.
01:38:31 Ho-Ke says you can have that.
01:38:34 I don't like coffee.
01:38:36 Ho-Ke says you can have it.
01:38:43 You're a brave boy, Lao Si.
01:38:46 Brave boy.
01:39:28 Many of George Hogg's
01:39:32 among them Lao Si and his three brothers.
01:39:36 The four of us could
01:39:39 That's certain.
01:39:44 We brothers didn't know our birthdays.
01:39:47 Even my older brother didn't know.
01:39:50 When asked, we all say, "The 22nd"
01:39:56 this was the day George Hogg died.
01:40:04 Ho-Ke gave a speech.
01:40:06 He wrote three words
01:40:11 Where do we want to go?
01:40:16 He had his methods.
01:40:19 Then he explained
01:40:22 over 1,000 kilometres.
01:40:26 We would march there;
01:40:28 our belongings packed on
01:40:38 We kept hearing
01:40:42 that your nose would
01:40:46 And when you pee,
01:40:50 But Hogg assured us
01:40:58 It was a very cold winter.
01:41:00 And walking all the way
01:41:04 it took us over two months.
01:41:07 Later people called this,
01:41:09 'The Long March in Miniature.'
01:41:18 He was a perfect man.
01:41:22 but I couldn't find any in Hogg.
01:41:25 He was always smiling when talking to us.
01:41:29 He knew, and he taught us
01:41:42 The Chinese people
01:41:46 who helped China during those struggles.
01:41:52 No matter how the world may change,
01:41:56 we, the Chinese, will never forget them.
