00:02:16 You've lost again.
00:02:17 Not one lucky toss all night.
00:02:22 Chalk it up.
00:02:34 How much?
00:02:38 Chunsheng.
00:02:49 I've run up a pile of debts lately.
00:02:53 But my calligraphy's improving.
00:03:37 Long'er, you neglect your troupe.
00:03:42 But not my money.
00:03:47 They're too tired. Been at it all night.
00:03:53 Why don't you have a go?
00:04:05 Business is good, Mr. Xie.
00:04:08 Come often. You're always welcome.
00:04:56 Old Man Heaven
00:05:08 Don't make it so late
00:05:12 Me and my lover
00:05:14 want more time
00:05:17 To frolic in our great big bed
00:05:30 Long'er, you're nearly there.
00:05:35 One more night like this...
00:05:38 you'll have him right where you want him.
00:05:41 Sure there's no mistake?
00:05:43 Look at the records.
00:05:49 Master Fugui is going home. You take him.
00:06:00 Take care.
00:06:02 Take care, Master.
00:06:27 Welcome home, sir.
00:06:30 Dad!
00:06:35 Degenerate! Another night gambling!
00:06:38 A dog's gotta eat shit! Little bastard!
00:06:42 If you don't stop...
00:06:45 we'll lose the little we have.
00:06:49 Aren't you capable of anything else?
00:06:52 Is gambling all you know?
00:06:55 Of all you could have learned, bastard!
00:07:00 Little bastards from big bastards grow.
00:07:04 I learned all I know from you.
00:07:06 How do you think we lost
00:07:13 You're the one they call big bastard, Xu,
00:07:20 Will you cut it out?
00:07:24 - What'd he just say?
00:07:27 Mother, when you finish,
00:07:30 Grandpa's cursing you again.
00:07:33 He's just singing to himself.
00:07:39 You're up.
00:07:50 What's wrong?
00:07:53 Don't cry.
00:07:55 It's not good for the baby.
00:07:58 You said you wouldn't gamble
00:08:02 Who was gambling? I went to watch.
00:08:05 What are you crying for?
00:08:08 If nothing else,
00:08:12 Let me wipe your tears.
00:08:15 I'm not your father. I can't be fooled.
00:08:18 All right, do it yourself.
00:08:23 Fugui...
00:08:25 I've said all there is to say.
00:08:28 Can't you listen just this once?
00:08:33 It's like kicking an opium habit,
00:08:36 Too fast, and boing, you snap!
00:08:41 Can't rush these things.
00:08:43 Fengxia's growing up.
00:08:47 Please.
00:08:49 I'm not asking much.
00:08:51 Only to live a quiet life together.
00:08:58 Fugui, you choose. Gambling or family?
00:09:02 Tell me.
00:09:21 Your win, Master Fugui.
00:09:26 My luck's changed.
00:09:29 Write that down. Another round.
00:09:39 Master Fugui, your wife's here.
00:09:51 What are you doing here?
00:09:54 Well?
00:10:06 Mr. Long'er says
00:10:11 No, have him wait. I'll be right there.
00:10:15 This is the last time, okay? I promise.
00:10:18 Go home, go.
00:10:21 It's settled.
00:10:24 Mr. Xie...
00:10:26 get a rickshaw to take my wife home.
00:10:30 Of course.
00:10:42 Master Fugui, you lost.
00:10:52 Let's roll!
00:10:56 Master Fugui.
00:11:11 Come, give Mrs. Xu a seat.
00:11:16 Fugui, for the last time.
00:11:19 Come home.
00:11:22 Why don't you go home?
00:11:26 Your wife is right here.
00:11:29 What's with you?
00:11:33 You want to make me lose face?
00:11:38 Get out!
00:11:40 I've just...
00:11:42 Let's play!
00:11:46 Don't worry about her.
00:11:54 Get out of my sight!
00:12:00 Go!
00:12:28 Let's roll!
00:13:10 Well?
00:13:12 Master Fugui, you're out of the game.
00:13:17 You've lost everything.
00:13:20 What do you mean?
00:13:23 You bet your property.
00:13:27 You don't have a roof tile to your name.
00:13:38 What is it?
00:13:40 Master Fugui must settle his account.
00:14:07 It's all in order, I'll be going.
00:14:11 Master Fugui, don't think badly of me...
00:14:16 for leaving you homeless.
00:14:20 But I sure like that mansion of yours.
00:14:22 See you there in a few days.
00:14:27 You can't just win and walk away.
00:14:29 The game's not over yet!
00:14:32 Master Fugui, I'm sorry...
00:14:34 but you've nothing left.
00:14:38 If you're unhappy, talk to Mr. Xie.
00:14:40 This can't be happening!
00:14:43 What are you doing?
00:14:46 It's not over yet!
00:14:49 Sit down.
00:14:51 - Sit down!
00:15:01 - Sit.
00:15:06 I am very sorry,
00:15:10 What could you stake the bet on?
00:15:14 I'll stake my life.
00:15:15 Don't talk like that.
00:15:18 Anyway, your life's worth little now.
00:15:22 Not that we'd accept it as ante.
00:15:25 We'll formalize the transfer
00:15:28 and explain to your old man.
00:15:30 Just settle everything, okay?
00:15:32 We'll settle everything then.
00:15:36 Okay?
00:15:50 Your wife's been waiting for ages.
00:15:59 Fugui...
00:16:01 I just wanted to tell you...
00:16:05 I've realized...
00:16:08 you'll never change.
00:16:14 I'm taking Fengxia with me.
00:16:32 If the baby is a boy...
00:16:37 I won't let him be like you.
00:16:59 Master Fugui, I'll take you.
00:17:04 - What are you doing?
00:17:20 I have nothing left.
00:17:39 63, 73, 83...
00:17:52 Mr. Xu, any mistakes?
00:17:54 No, Fugui's signature is on each one.
00:18:01 Long'er, is our Xu family home...
00:18:05 enough to settle Fugui's debt?
00:18:09 Good.
00:18:13 A gambling debt's a debt,
00:18:19 Everyone's here today.
00:18:22 So let's do what must be done.
00:18:24 The Xu family home...
00:18:27 goes to Long'er.
00:18:29 And the debt is hereby settled.
00:18:33 Both sides must sign.
00:18:56 I thought I'd live my final days here.
00:19:10 Fugui.
00:19:12 Turtle spawn! I'll kill him!
00:19:15 I'll cut him into pieces! I'll clobber him!
00:19:19 I'll never forgive you!
00:19:21 I'll never forgive you!
00:19:23 I want him dead!
00:19:27 Sir!
00:19:54 It's valuable. Don't scratch it.
00:19:58 Careful, slowly. Don't move too fast!
00:20:01 Don't break anything!
00:20:07 Your mother's not well.
00:20:17 I'll look after her for a few days?
00:20:20 Until you're set up elsewhere.
00:20:27 Want me to help you?
00:20:48 Needles and threads for sale!
00:21:57 Granny!
00:21:59 Jiazhen's come home.
00:22:27 Jiazhen.
00:22:31 Come look at your son.
00:22:37 He looks like you.
00:22:40 No, like Jiazhen.
00:22:42 What's his name?
00:22:43 "Don't Gamble".
00:22:47 He'll never gamble.
00:22:50 Who chose that name?
00:22:52 Me.
00:22:55 Very good, very good.
00:22:56 I don't gamble now.
00:23:00 I know. Or I wouldn't have come back.
00:23:04 Is his name really "Don't Gamble"?
00:23:08 I was just teasing Fugui. It's Youqing.
00:23:13 Youqing, excellent.
00:23:16 Jiazhen, it's great to have you back.
00:23:24 I'd heard you'd had a boy,
00:23:30 But I was too ashamed to see you.
00:23:32 Let's put the past behind us...
00:23:35 and live peacefully.
00:23:38 I've paid the rent with mother's jewelry.
00:23:42 It's crowded with all of us here.
00:23:45 I'll tidy up tomorrow. We'll be fine.
00:23:49 Mother's feeling better.
00:23:51 Normally she doesn't even get out of bed.
00:23:56 Dad didn't give me much money...
00:24:01 but she needs a doctor.
00:24:04 We'll work something out.
00:24:08 I'll borrow money to set up a shop.
00:24:11 Life won't be easy.
00:24:14 Don't say that.
00:24:16 All I ask is a quiet life together.
00:24:23 A rare visitor indeed.
00:24:26 Master Fugui! It's been a year at least.
00:24:29 Just call me Fugui.
00:24:31 This old home of yours is great.
00:24:34 Warm in winter, cool in summer.
00:24:36 Great at any price.
00:24:41 I've given up the puppet troupe.
00:24:44 Have a seat.
00:24:47 I don't gamble anymore.
00:24:51 "Don't Gamble" is my son's name.
00:24:54 You mocking me?
00:24:55 No, his real name's Youqing.
00:24:59 Jiazhen came back with him.
00:25:01 We almost called him "Don't Gamble".
00:25:08 I'd like to borrow money to set up a shop.
00:25:15 I'm not one to lend money.
00:25:20 I'll lend you something else.
00:25:32 I never had to beg
00:25:36 Earn your money yourself.
00:25:39 Put together a troupe.
00:25:43 They are fabulous.
00:25:47 My heart is full of sorrow
00:26:04 It's that hateful bandit, Jiang
00:26:24 I'm lucky to be alive
00:27:55 Me and my lover want more time
00:28:00 To frolic on our great big bed
00:28:40 Come out!
00:28:48 Come on! Get a move on!
00:29:18 1949: Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Army
00:29:22 The Communists under Mao Zedong
00:29:34 So we're fighting the Communists.
00:29:36 Might never go home again.
00:29:49 What are you looking at?
00:29:53 Thinking of escaping?
00:29:56 The Nationalists will shoot you.
00:30:00 Besides...
00:30:02 troops for both sides are everywhere.
00:30:05 If you don't fight the Reds,
00:30:07 But who will look after my wife,
00:30:11 Forget it. Try to save your own skin.
00:30:24 As for me...
00:30:28 if I weren't looking for my brother,
00:30:58 Chunsheng, you really are mad.
00:31:03 I'd die happy if I could drive.
00:31:06 As for me...
00:31:09 I want to live.
00:31:13 One, two, three. One, two, three.
00:31:25 This case is in the way!
00:31:27 Whose is it? Get rid of it!
00:31:30 Sir, it's mine.
00:31:34 Get it out of my sight then.
00:31:40 It's just a bunch of puppets.
00:31:44 They're not mine.
00:32:16 What a bloodbath.
00:32:25 What's that sound?
00:32:28 The wounded.
00:32:30 They're freezing.
00:32:33 No one's looking after them?
00:32:35 No one's left.
00:32:38 Must be tens of thousands
00:32:48 Way to go, Chunsheng!
00:32:50 Take this.
00:32:58 - Where'd you get them?
00:33:02 Which corpses?
00:33:05 The wounded who froze to death.
00:33:08 Put it on. We must survive.
00:33:13 Lao Quan, have a drink.
00:33:20 It really is booze!
00:33:21 Was it from some dead officer?
00:33:31 Chunsheng and I are lucky
00:33:36 You've looked after us.
00:33:39 We must help each other.
00:33:41 Besides, we're from the same town.
00:34:09 Lao Quan, the place is deserted.
00:34:12 I'm still dizzy from drinking!
00:34:15 What happened? No one's left?
00:34:21 They've all run off.
00:34:22 How could that be?
00:34:24 The Reds must be on the attack.
00:34:26 What?
00:34:31 - Shouldn't we run, too?
00:34:33 Home!
00:34:34 Home?
00:34:36 Wait right here.
00:34:39 Run now...
00:34:41 and you'll be shot.
00:34:46 Better to wait and become a POW.
00:34:48 The Reds send POWs home.
00:34:53 So, no running?
00:34:54 That's right.
00:34:55 You want to go home, don't run.
00:34:58 They won't shoot us?
00:35:00 Not as long as you've got your hands up.
00:35:03 How?
00:35:10 This will do the trick?
00:35:14 Don't reach for your waist!
00:35:16 Do that and you're dead.
00:35:19 The Reds treat POWs well.
00:35:24 Just put those hands up.
00:35:41 - The attack hasn't started.
00:36:37 Chunsheng!
00:36:55 Dying like this,
00:37:00 Fugui...
00:37:02 we've got to make it back alive.
00:37:07 And live a good life.
00:37:25 Lao Quan! They're shooting!
00:37:28 Where did you find this coat?
00:37:32 - On one of the wounded.
00:37:36 The coat's from my brother's unit.
00:37:40 - What are you doing?
00:37:51 What's your brother look like?
00:37:53 Just like me.
00:38:13 Lao Quan!
00:40:56 The enemy's secret weapon
00:41:00 wounded me
00:41:07 I gather my troops
00:41:21 and we run for our lives
00:43:06 Fengxia!
00:43:21 It's your daddy.
00:43:29 What are you doing?
00:43:32 Where's mommy?
00:44:13 I'm home.
00:44:15 Home.
00:45:03 Mother died without knowing where I was.
00:45:08 The day...
00:45:10 we sang for the Liberation Army.
00:45:17 Suppose I was singing for her, too.
00:45:23 She never shut her eyes...
00:45:27 kept them fixed on the door,
00:45:32 You should have written.
00:45:35 Written?
00:45:37 I never thought I'd make it back alive.
00:45:44 I thought of you...
00:45:47 all the time and worried...
00:45:49 how you were getting by.
00:45:52 The new government
00:45:56 and gave me this job, delivering water.
00:45:58 I'm up before dawn.
00:46:01 Everyone wants water.
00:46:03 The more I deliver, the more I earn.
00:46:07 It's been hard on the kids.
00:46:10 They never get...
00:46:13 a good night's sleep.
00:46:16 How come Fengxia can't talk?
00:46:19 She was fine when I left.
00:46:21 She can't even say "Daddy".
00:46:24 In fact, she was lucky.
00:46:26 For a week, she ran a high fever.
00:46:31 No one thought she'd pull through.
00:46:34 When the fever came down...
00:46:37 she'd lost her voice.
00:47:07 You're here.
00:47:09 Fugui's back.
00:47:11 This is our town leader, Mr. Niu.
00:47:14 So you're our leading cadre.
00:47:18 - I heard you got back this morning.
00:47:21 I have come to see if you need anything.
00:47:24 Look at this.
00:47:29 He has served in the Liberation Army?
00:47:33 You participated in the revolution.
00:47:35 I just dragged a cannon and sang opera.
00:47:37 That's taking part.
00:47:43 You were with Chunsheng.
00:47:46 He joined the army as a driver.
00:47:50 We won't see him for a while.
00:47:52 Fugui, you're back just in time...
00:47:54 to attend Long'er's public trial.
00:47:57 Come along and get an education.
00:48:02 What did Long'er do?
00:48:05 Because of the family home,
00:48:12 But it's not just that.
00:48:15 The government wanted part of the house.
00:48:18 He refused, beat up a cadre...
00:48:21 and then set fire to the place.
00:48:24 Classic counterrevolutionary sabotage.
00:48:30 He burnt it?
00:48:34 It burnt for days.
00:48:37 Your timber was first class!
00:48:41 That wasn't ours.
00:48:46 Counterrevolutionary timber.
00:48:49 Of course. You're you, he's him.
00:48:52 Execute the revolutionary despot, Long'er!
00:48:57 To the execution ground!
00:49:03 We will crush the counterrevolution!
00:49:05 Crush the counterrevolution!
00:49:08 Down with the counterrevolutionaries!
00:49:14 Long live the Communist Party!
00:49:17 Long live the People's Government!
00:49:25 Long live Chairman Mao!
00:49:30 Build a new China!
00:50:34 What's wrong?
00:50:36 Why are your pants wet?
00:50:40 Five bullets. Five.
00:50:42 They shot him.
00:50:44 They shot Long'er?
00:50:45 Pumped five bullets into him.
00:50:50 He is dead.
00:50:51 If I hadn't lost my home to him...
00:50:53 that'd have been me.
00:50:59 What class do we belong to?
00:51:02 Landlords?
00:51:03 Surely not.
00:51:09 Not landlords.
00:51:11 Ordinary townspeople.
00:51:13 Sounds okay to me.
00:51:28 - What are you looking for?
00:51:31 - In the wash?
00:51:36 Better dry it out fast.
00:51:38 Have to keep it safe.
00:51:42 Are you sure we're just townsfolk?
00:51:47 Of course.
00:51:48 Poor townspeople.
00:51:51 It's good to be poor. Nothing like it.
00:51:56 Get a frame for it tomorrow.
00:51:58 I'll hang it on the wall.
00:52:01 Good idea!
00:52:17 The 1950s
00:52:23 1958: Mao Zedong launches
00:52:27 Steel production is now targeted
00:52:30 Every household donates its iron utensils.
00:52:52 Take a break.
00:52:57 Tired?
00:53:02 Fugui!
00:53:06 Our family's turn to donate iron.
00:53:09 It's ready.
00:53:12 It's all here?
00:53:14 Keep these.
00:53:16 To deliver water to the steelworks.
00:53:18 Everyone will be thirsty.
00:53:20 We'll take these.
00:53:25 If you take all our pots away,
00:53:29 We're racing towards Communism,
00:53:33 We are setting up communal kitchens.
00:53:36 When you're hungry...
00:53:38 just come to the canteen.
00:53:41 There'll be meat, fish.
00:53:45 Nothing else to contribute?
00:53:48 Yes, there is!
00:53:55 But that's wood.
00:53:57 There's metal on it.
00:54:04 And here are pins.
00:54:06 It can't be worth much.
00:54:08 We are less politically aware
00:54:12 It's enough for two bullets.
00:54:14 We are just two bullets short
00:54:18 So let's get that metal.
00:54:30 The workers deserve entertaining,
00:54:34 You know,
00:54:38 and after that...
00:54:40 they captured two mountains a day.
00:54:44 I see your point.
00:54:46 All I've seen at the worksites
00:54:51 We'll spur them on with puppet shows.
00:54:54 You can leave those.
00:54:56 We won't touch them.
00:55:01 We're off to the next house.
00:55:05 We are not going to liberate Taiwan?
00:55:09 Sure we are.
00:56:15 Take that!
00:57:08 - Enough?
00:57:12 Enough?
00:57:13 Still not enough?
00:57:18 Big ambition for a little kid.
00:57:21 It's more than enough.
00:57:23 So gobble away. Help yourself to sauces.
00:57:32 Youqing, I'll help you stir that up.
00:57:36 What a big appetite!
00:57:39 And so much chili sauce!
00:57:50 That's a big bowl, Youqing.
00:57:52 Give it to us if you can't finish.
00:58:27 What the hell are you doing?
00:58:29 How could you?
00:58:34 Can't you control this child?
00:58:37 What did you think you were doing?
00:58:40 What is this?
00:58:41 Look at all the chili sauce.
00:58:47 This is too much.
00:58:50 - Trying to kill him, or what?
00:58:54 Kids? Where did he learn that from?
00:58:57 This hasn't anything to do with us adults.
00:59:01 We don't know what's going on.
00:59:04 Do you expect me to believe that?
00:59:07 It's sabotage.
00:59:11 And sabotage of the Great Leap Forward!
00:59:16 That kid could not dream that up.
00:59:20 Youqing! Look what you've done!
00:59:24 Apologize. Say you were wrong.
00:59:28 Now!
00:59:31 I'm talking to you.
00:59:35 - Are you going?
00:59:37 - Are you going or not?
00:59:39 - I'm telling you to go!
00:59:42 You won't go?
00:59:48 Don't hit him!
00:59:51 Leave him alone! I'll kill him!
00:59:56 Enough!
01:00:03 How could you?
01:00:06 Said he was a saboteur. I had to.
01:00:08 That guy's word is law? The government?
01:00:12 I tried to stop you.
01:00:15 Why wouldn't he just apologize?
01:00:18 I hit him for not obeying.
01:00:20 That's no excuse.
01:00:22 You spoil him.
01:00:24 How so?
01:00:26 Can't you see I'm doing this
01:00:29 Don't you understand?
01:00:31 If you indulge him, we'll all go to ruin.
01:00:33 I'll hit him again if I have to.
01:00:45 Sit then. Right in front of me!
01:00:50 Isn't he your own flesh and blood?
01:00:52 You, looking after us!
01:00:56 What do you know?
01:00:59 Kids had been bullying Fengxia.
01:01:06 Do you think I'd let
01:01:11 I've stuck with you through good and bad.
01:01:14 Have I ever complained?
01:01:57 Poor Fengxia.
01:02:02 Youqing adores her. And you'd hit him.
01:02:13 Daddy will make it better.
01:02:20 Youqing, after dinner...
01:02:23 come see the show.
01:02:24 Youqing's not going to any stupid show.
01:02:34 He uses the secret mirror
01:02:42 and blinds all who look within
01:03:02 I yell there's no time to waste
01:03:33 Far away, we flee with haste
01:03:54 Jiazhen, where's Youqing?
01:03:57 He wouldn't come.
01:04:00 Ask him again.
01:04:01 Say I want him to.
01:04:05 Youqing, daddy wants you to see the show.
01:04:14 Well?
01:04:16 I'm not going!
01:04:19 Do you like hearing daddy sing?
01:04:23 Mommy doesn't either. He's so smug.
01:04:28 Let's play a practical joke on him.
01:04:33 Take him tea full of vinegar.
01:04:38 That will teach him.
01:04:45 Enough?
01:04:51 Okay, we'll really get him.
01:04:57 Should we add chili?
01:05:00 Good, it'll be hot and sour soup.
01:06:08 Your boy's on his way with a bowl of tea.
01:06:15 Youqing, is that tea for me?
01:06:18 Good boy, bring it over here.
01:06:30 Daddy.
01:06:33 How do you like my singing?
01:06:57 You little bastard! I'll break your legs!
01:07:04 He's put in chili!
01:08:10 We've smelted our steel...
01:08:12 and reached our production target.
01:08:14 We're off to report the good news.
01:08:17 Everyone's earned merit.
01:08:20 Fugui, Jiazhen,
01:08:25 There'll be dumplings
01:08:28 with a whole pig stuffed in each one!
01:08:34 Eat your fill, and then we'll continue.
01:08:39 Fifteen years, we'll surpass America.
01:08:49 We've made enough steel
01:08:54 They'll all go to Taiwan!
01:08:57 One to land on Chiang Kai-shek's bed...
01:08:59 another on his dinner table...
01:09:01 and the last in the toilet!
01:09:06 He won't be able to sleep or eat
01:09:10 and we'll liberate Taiwan!
01:09:18 Xia, Youqing, have some dumplings.
01:09:29 Let them sleep. They'll eat later.
01:10:02 Xu Youqing!
01:10:10 What's up?
01:10:11 The teacher wants us at school
01:10:14 The District Head's making an inspection.
01:10:17 All right. You go on ahead.
01:10:21 Pack a lunchbox. I'll wake him.
01:10:24 He's not going anywhere.
01:10:28 Leave him alone.
01:10:30 - The District Chief is coming.
01:10:35 A kid still has to sleep.
01:10:38 Smelting steel is a duty.
01:10:42 Mr. Niu praised us in front of everyone.
01:10:48 Youqing has to go.
01:10:55 Wake up.
01:10:58 You have to go smelt steel.
01:11:03 Come on, get up.
01:11:07 Your classmates are already on their way.
01:11:09 Must not be politically backward.
01:11:14 Are 15 dumplings enough?
01:11:20 Have 20. You should eat more.
01:11:35 Youqing, wake up. We're nearly there.
01:11:41 When you get there...
01:11:43 put your dumplings in hot water.
01:11:47 Make sure you make them hot enough.
01:11:51 Cold dumplings are bad for the tummy.
01:11:55 - Do you like dumplings?
01:11:58 - Do you like meat?
01:12:00 That's good.
01:12:02 If Youqing does as daddy says...
01:12:05 our lives will get better and better.
01:12:08 Our family...
01:12:10 is like a little chicken.
01:12:14 When it grows up, it becomes a goose.
01:12:17 And that'll turn into a sheep.
01:12:21 The sheep will turn into an ox.
01:12:23 And after the ox?
01:12:25 After the ox is Communism.
01:12:27 And there'll be dumplings and meat
01:13:29 It's Fugui's son?
01:13:32 District Chief arrived after dark.
01:13:34 He backed up,
01:13:38 Youqing was sleeping on the other side.
01:13:42 When the wall collapsed...
01:13:44 he didn't have a chance.
01:13:46 The District Chief was hurt, too.
01:13:50 He hadn't slept for three days.
01:14:19 Fugui, listen to me.
01:14:20 We have to try and bear it,
01:14:41 What's happened?
01:14:44 Answer me!
01:14:48 Daddy's here! Say something!
01:15:05 Take the body away!
01:15:07 We mustn't let his mother see.
01:15:18 Mommy's here! Youqing!
01:15:22 Youqing! What's going on?
01:15:29 Let me see him!
01:16:50 You never had the chance to eat
01:16:55 Mommy's made you more...
01:17:00 twenty this time.
01:17:02 That should be enough.
01:17:07 Once you've eaten...
01:17:09 you can sleep...
01:17:12 a nice, deep sleep.
01:17:15 In life,
01:17:23 So sleep well now.
01:17:28 Mommy will come see you every day.
01:17:37 Youqing, can you ever forgive me?
01:17:43 I shouldn't have let you go to school.
01:17:47 I should've kept your dad...
01:17:50 from making you go.
01:17:57 It's all my fault.
01:18:03 If only I'd stopped him.
01:18:08 I shouldn't have let you go, Youqing!
01:18:13 Oh, my poor darling.
01:18:38 The District Chief has come.
01:18:50 The one who ran over my son?
01:18:53 What's he doing here?
01:18:55 Tell him to leave. He killed my son.
01:18:59 - He's already here.
01:19:12 It's me, Chunsheng.
01:19:21 I meant to call...
01:19:24 after I settled in.
01:19:29 Fugui...
01:19:32 how could it be your son?
01:19:37 You're the District Chief?
01:19:41 It was you who killed my son?
01:19:48 I had only one son, Chunsheng!
01:19:52 I had only one son!
01:19:55 And you killed him!
01:20:02 You, behind the goddamn wheel!
01:20:08 Don't be like that.
01:20:10 The District Chief is upset, too.
01:20:17 How can I ever make it up?
01:20:20 Take this for now.
01:20:24 It's money.
01:20:27 Tell me what else I can do.
01:20:32 No one wants your money.
01:20:33 I want my son. Give me back my son.
01:20:37 You killed him! Give him back to me!
01:20:43 Go away!
01:20:45 Remember, you owe us a life.
01:20:48 You killed him. Remember that.
01:20:53 You killed him.
01:20:55 Go away! Now!
01:20:58 District Chief, let's go.
01:21:00 I think you should go, Chief.
01:21:05 Go away!
01:21:14 All right.
01:21:16 I'm going.
01:21:19 I owe you a life.
01:21:23 I will remember.
01:21:34 What are you doing, you little wretch?
01:21:38 What are you doing?
01:21:42 How dare you!
01:21:43 What's going on?
01:21:45 She smashed the windows of the jeep.
01:21:49 Who the heck is she?
01:21:51 Let her go!
01:21:54 Are you mad?
01:21:57 Do you want your jeep?
01:22:00 No!
01:22:24 The 1960s
01:22:34 June 1966: Start of the
01:22:38 It lasted 10 years...
01:22:40 and left no family unaffected.
01:23:00 - You're eating?
01:23:03 - Don't let me interrupt.
01:23:07 Sit here.
01:23:18 You have to get rid of those puppets.
01:23:23 Everyone knows about them.
01:23:27 I was telling Jiazhen...
01:23:29 that we could...
01:23:33 do propaganda shows.
01:23:34 Put these old things to new use.
01:23:37 Don't you see what they are?
01:23:41 Emperors, scholars and beauties.
01:23:44 Classic feudal types.
01:23:48 Latest editorial:
01:23:50 "The older, the more reactionary".
01:24:02 Do as Chairman Mao says.
01:24:18 They always remind Jiazhen of Youqing.
01:24:25 Let's not bring up the past.
01:24:32 Burn them, okay?
01:24:42 Fetch a brazier.
01:24:47 You can't keep them. Burn them!
01:25:13 Fugui...
01:25:15 Chunsheng has asked me many times...
01:25:18 to get you a better job.
01:25:23 Delivering water is fine.
01:25:24 Jiazhen's health is poor.
01:25:29 We'll discuss it later.
01:25:33 I may have found a prospect for Fengxia.
01:25:37 I'll tell you about him.
01:25:38 Let's not let her in on it for now.
01:25:46 I've found just the man for her.
01:25:51 His name is Wan Erxi.
01:25:54 He works in a factory in the county seat.
01:25:58 He is the leader
01:26:02 He'd like to meet her.
01:26:04 Sounds too good. Will he go for Fengxia?
01:26:07 He's also got a handicap...
01:26:10 a lame leg.
01:26:12 How lame? Can he walk?
01:26:15 Yes, and run if he has to.
01:26:19 He can run?
01:26:21 Was he born a cripple?
01:26:23 No, it was an accident at work.
01:26:26 He gets compensation.
01:26:31 Shall we invite him over?
01:26:39 Does she mind us playing matchmaker?
01:26:43 She's not opposed,
01:26:54 Comrade Wan Erxi's here.
01:27:02 Comrade Wan Erxi.
01:27:04 Fengxia's mom and dad.
01:27:07 Come inside.
01:27:19 Have something to drink.
01:27:26 Quotations from Chairman Mao
01:27:30 Comrade Wan works
01:27:34 His father and grandfather
01:27:37 Solid working class stock.
01:27:41 Fengxia's father took part
01:27:44 A good family.
01:27:46 The Liberation Army
01:28:00 Good.
01:28:09 Where's Fengxia?
01:28:21 Comrade Wan Erxi.
01:28:24 Comrade Fengxia.
01:28:42 I'll be going.
01:28:43 Have something to eat first.
01:28:45 No, thanks.
01:28:50 You won't stay?
01:28:52 Have some lunch first.
01:28:53 No, really.
01:28:58 Let's go.
01:29:13 What do you think?
01:29:14 His leg's not so bad, and he seems nice.
01:29:18 I approve.
01:29:20 Who's to say he'll like our Fengxia?
01:29:22 He only glanced at her,
01:29:26 If it doesn't work out,
01:29:28 Anyway, it's up to Fengxia.
01:29:40 I think she likes him.
01:29:42 It's different from before. Look.
01:29:59 Go ask Mr. Niu...
01:30:02 what the boy thinks.
01:30:16 How's this for Fengxia?
01:30:20 Comrade, could I look at that one?
01:30:25 There's trouble at your home.
01:30:27 Red Guards are swarming over the place.
01:30:29 I just caught them on a ladder,
01:30:34 From where?
01:30:35 No idea! The leader is a cripple.
01:30:39 You'd better hurry back.
01:30:40 A cripple?
01:30:42 Must be Wan Erxi!
01:30:44 He doesn't like Fengxia,
01:30:47 Anything is possible.
01:30:49 Mr. Niu said he was a Red Guard.
01:30:53 We'd better hurry.
01:30:55 Don't forget your package!
01:31:28 Aren't you busy!
01:31:31 I brought some colleagues.
01:31:33 We're fixing the place up.
01:31:36 We replaced the roof tiles...
01:31:38 so it wouldn't leak anymore.
01:31:41 And we've painted
01:31:46 Fengxia helped us.
01:31:52 You're just in time.
01:31:55 - Don't rush off!
01:31:58 We must be going.
01:32:03 Do stay! Come on inside.
01:32:07 Erxi painted this.
01:32:11 "The working class leads us all".
01:32:14 Erxi is good with his hands.
01:32:16 He painted all the Chairman Maos
01:32:21 I'll get some water so you can wash up.
01:32:24 Thanks, we'll go to the factory bathhouse.
01:32:33 You've gone to so much trouble.
01:32:35 Please come again.
01:32:44 What do you think about Fengxia and me?
01:32:48 We're happy if you are.
01:32:51 We approve.
01:32:52 Shall we set a date?
01:32:56 Anytime. You decide.
01:33:00 Fengxia's had a hard life.
01:33:03 If you don't mind...
01:33:05 let's make the wedding a real occasion.
01:33:08 To make her happy.
01:34:05 Today comrades, Wan Erxi and Xu Fengxia...
01:34:09 begin their wedded life.
01:34:11 In good times, we think of Chairman Mao.
01:34:15 Let's sing a song!
01:34:23 Nothing compares
01:34:29 Chairman Mao is dearer
01:34:35 There's nothing as good as socialism
01:34:41 No ocean as deep as class feeling
01:34:47 Maoist Thought
01:34:51 Whoever opposes it, we take as our enemy
01:35:16 Come on, you can't cry today.
01:35:20 They're all singing for Fengxia...
01:35:23 and she can't even join in!
01:35:26 At least it's loud enough for her to hear.
01:35:32 Time for a photo!
01:35:41 Move aside! Stand still!
01:35:47 Hold your little Red Books.
01:35:53 Clear a path! Ship sailing through!
01:36:00 Let's get the whole family.
01:36:14 The ship of revolution! Advance
01:36:23 Time to wrap up.
01:36:25 First, pay respects to Chairman Mao.
01:36:38 Chairman Mao...
01:36:41 Comrade Fengxia's mine now.
01:36:50 Come over here.
01:36:53 Now, bow!
01:36:57 Dad, Mom...
01:36:59 I'm taking Fengxia.
01:37:01 I'll look after her.
01:37:33 Go on, don't be sad.
01:37:35 You'll be back!
01:38:02 Chunsheng.
01:38:06 Congratulations on Fengxia's wedding.
01:38:08 - When did you get here?
01:38:11 But there were so many people,
01:38:19 Come on inside.
01:38:20 Jiazhen, make some tea.
01:38:33 Isn't the tea ready yet?
01:38:35 Chunsheng's been here for ages.
01:38:37 Water's not boiled.
01:38:39 Sit with us for a bit.
01:38:42 Don't be like that.
01:38:47 Come as soon as the water's ready.
01:38:54 But here's boiled water.
01:38:59 Chunsheng came to wish Fengxia well.
01:39:01 You can't go on avoiding him.
01:39:06 Can't we put this behind us?
01:39:10 If only Youqing had been here today.
01:39:23 I'll be going.
01:39:26 Don't go. The tea's ready.
01:39:28 Never mind.
01:39:32 Jiazhen, I know you don't want to see me.
01:39:35 I'll leave my gift here and be gone.
01:39:56 Give it back to him.
01:39:59 I don't want his gifts.
01:40:01 But it's Chairman Mao.
01:40:27 Dad! Mom!
01:40:35 Come on in!
01:40:39 Fengxia, you're back!
01:40:41 You cold?
01:40:48 I'm fine, really.
01:40:49 How are you feeling, Mom?
01:40:52 On the mend.
01:40:53 Better when you come over.
01:40:56 Have you eaten?
01:40:58 I'll make something.
01:40:59 Lunch is all taken care of.
01:41:10 Help me with the table.
01:41:21 You brought a bottle.
01:41:37 Dad, Mom, we're having a baby.
01:41:41 No wonder there's a bottle!
01:41:44 Really?
01:41:46 I just came from the hospital.
01:41:52 Fengxia's going to be a mother.
01:41:55 Fengxia, you're going to be a mother.
01:41:59 Cheers!
01:42:08 Erxi, when you went
01:42:11 what did they say about Fengxia's health?
01:42:14 That she's in terrific shape.
01:42:17 Still, you can't be too careful.
01:42:19 Your folks aren't around.
01:42:21 After the birth,
01:42:27 Spend as much time as you can with her.
01:42:31 When I was pregnant with Fengxia...
01:42:33 her dad was never around.
01:42:36 He was very busy?
01:42:39 Very!
01:42:43 Don't bring up the past.
01:42:46 I was a real no-hoper.
01:42:48 But things are better now.
01:42:51 And will be better for your child.
01:42:55 Erxi, drink up.
01:42:59 Help yourself.
01:43:04 I had the photo framed.
01:43:10 We haven't taken a photo in years.
01:43:13 This is great.
01:43:21 After the child is born...
01:43:24 have a photo taken every year.
01:43:28 We've no photos of Fengxia as a child.
01:43:30 Okay.
01:43:32 Fengxia, after the child is born...
01:43:36 have a photo taken every year.
01:43:43 Dad, I saw Chunsheng yesterday.
01:43:48 He's been arrested as a capitalist.
01:43:51 They held a public trial against him.
01:43:54 We have to draw a line between us and him.
01:44:01 Of course.
01:44:03 There's always been a line.
01:44:06 Haven't had much to do with him for years.
01:44:28 Fugui!
01:44:33 Who's there?
01:44:35 Chunsheng.
01:44:38 Who?
01:44:39 Chunsheng.
01:44:45 What do you want?
01:44:49 Come out for a second.
01:44:53 Just say what you want.
01:44:56 It'll just take a minute.
01:45:30 Well?
01:45:32 Fugui...
01:45:34 I've always felt terrible about Youqing.
01:45:39 I've often tried to give you money.
01:45:45 It's all in this account. Take it.
01:45:52 You came for this?
01:45:55 Take this...
01:45:58 and my heart will be at ease.
01:46:03 All my debts will have been paid.
01:46:06 What do you mean?
01:46:10 Yesterday, my wife killed herself.
01:46:14 Killed herself?
01:46:17 Why?
01:46:19 I don't know.
01:46:21 Have you seen her body?
01:46:23 No.
01:46:26 I just got an official notice.
01:46:31 You mustn't lose hope.
01:46:35 Don't go getting any stupid ideas.
01:46:40 You must bear it, no matter what!
01:46:43 You can't take that road yourself.
01:46:49 I don't want to live anymore!
01:46:53 You just have to!
01:46:56 We've been through the valley of death.
01:46:59 Coming out alive wasn't easy.
01:47:04 Can't you see?
01:47:12 Let's say we accept this money.
01:47:14 Keep it for us. There's plenty of time.
01:47:21 I know how difficult it must be...
01:47:25 but you've got to pull through...
01:47:29 you've got to bear it!
01:47:34 I don't think I can.
01:47:42 Chunsheng, it's cold.
01:47:45 Come inside.
01:47:47 Yes, come in.
01:47:49 No, thank you, I've got to go.
01:47:52 I snuck out just now...
01:47:54 and better get back.
01:48:03 Chunsheng, remember...
01:48:07 you still owe us a life!
01:48:09 You've got to value yours!
01:48:36 Mr. Niu, is your wife at home?
01:48:39 Yes.
01:48:42 What are these eggs for?
01:48:44 Fengxia's about to have a baby.
01:48:48 Fengxia's about to give birth?
01:48:50 Time does fly!
01:48:51 Erxi sent word from the hospital.
01:48:54 She's in labor. We're on our way there.
01:48:58 Another working class member on the way!
01:49:01 So we've got to get going.
01:49:03 We'll bring the baby to see you.
01:49:06 - But you won't stay?
01:49:19 Never mind. Let's go. Don't worry.
01:49:25 Why's she crying?
01:49:27 What's happened?
01:49:29 I'm no longer head of the township.
01:49:31 They say I'm a capitalist.
01:49:35 I have to confess my crimes.
01:49:37 You! Crimes?
01:49:40 You, a capitalist?
01:49:42 Everyone knows you.
01:49:44 I have faith in the Party.
01:49:47 I've always followed Chairman Mao's path.
01:49:53 When will they let you return?
01:49:58 Let's not talk about it.
01:50:00 You go to Fengxia.
01:50:02 Go now, I'll be okay.
01:50:14 Niu, don't let it get to you. Take care!
01:50:18 We'll visit you after
01:50:23 Send her my very best. She's producing
01:50:28 Everything's fine and normal.
01:50:31 They say she's great. No problems.
01:50:36 When is it due?
01:50:38 From the contractions, not right now.
01:50:43 Fengxia, don't be nervous.
01:50:46 Won't hurt a bit.
01:50:48 Remember to breathe and push.
01:50:52 When you're pushing, bite on a towel.
01:50:58 Where's the towel?
01:51:04 Here, bite on this.
01:51:09 Do whatever the doctor tells you.
01:51:12 It'll be quick if you push.
01:51:14 Do as Mommy says and push.
01:51:17 Everything will be fine.
01:51:19 What's this about pushing?
01:51:22 And what's this shouting? Out!
01:51:26 Go wait in the corridor.
01:51:28 Okay, we're going.
01:51:31 - Sorry for the trouble.
01:51:34 Sit down.
01:51:47 They're all so young.
01:51:49 Are they nurses?
01:51:52 Who examined Fengxia?
01:51:54 They did.
01:51:55 You haven't seen any doctors?
01:51:57 No.
01:51:59 Go ask where the doctors are.
01:52:01 We must find a good doctor.
01:52:05 They've been locked away.
01:52:07 The Red Guards are in control!
01:52:11 No doctors?
01:52:20 Comrade, are there any doctors?
01:52:23 Yes, us!
01:52:24 I mean, older ones.
01:52:25 They're all reactionaries.
01:52:29 Relax. Your wife's fine.
01:52:41 Erxi, I'm worried.
01:52:44 Fengxia's a mute.
01:52:48 Can these young people cope?
01:52:50 We need an experienced doctor.
01:52:53 Even if he only stands by,
01:52:59 Have to get one out.
01:53:03 Let me think.
01:53:30 What is he doing here?
01:53:35 Wang Bin! Stand up!
01:53:41 This is the same Wang Bin
01:53:44 me and my wife,
01:53:50 How vile can you get?
01:53:53 We dragged him here today...
01:53:55 to educate him, to criticize him...
01:53:59 and to let him witness her giving birth.
01:54:02 To show him the heirs
01:54:05 The working class is really something!
01:54:07 Wang Bin, don't make any trouble.
01:54:10 Don't move.
01:54:12 I wouldn't dare.
01:54:25 That's professor Wang...
01:54:27 head of obstetrics.
01:54:37 Dr. Wang, don't be afraid.
01:54:39 I was putting on a show.
01:54:42 We're not accusing you.
01:54:44 My wife's having a baby.
01:54:46 I wanted you here for her sake.
01:54:52 No, it's better if I wear it.
01:54:54 Let me wear it!
01:55:04 Go ask.
01:55:12 I'm just going to see him.
01:55:32 He's all right.
01:55:36 Just hungry.
01:55:37 Hasn't been fed for three days!
01:55:39 I'll go buy some buns.
01:56:08 Where's Erxi?
01:56:09 They've gone to eat.
01:56:11 How's Fengxia?
01:56:13 They say she's fine.
01:56:15 Want one?
01:56:16 Give them to Dr. Wang.
01:56:19 Dr. Wang, have some buns.
01:56:27 Take your time. There's plenty.
01:56:42 Fengxia's child won't be mute, will he?
01:56:46 Of course not. She wasn't born that way.
01:56:50 Will the baby be crippled?
01:56:52 Erxi's is a work-related injury.
01:56:56 Anyway, it's bad luck to talk like that.
01:57:00 Why not use this time...
01:57:02 to think of a name for the kid?
01:57:06 What name do you like?
01:57:11 "Don't Gamble".
01:57:13 - Don't be stupid.
01:57:16 What name do you like?
01:57:30 "Little Bun".
01:57:31 You just say anything!
01:57:34 That's not a name!
01:57:35 But it's a tradition.
01:57:38 Cat, Dog or Little Bun...
01:57:40 are not recorded in the Register of Names.
01:57:45 He'd know for sure.
01:57:46 He doesn't know those kids exist...
01:57:50 so they don't die.
01:57:53 That's what the old folks say.
01:57:58 Okay, then Little Bun it is.
01:58:00 For now, anyway.
01:58:03 Later, his dad can give him a proper name.
01:58:28 Where's the family of Xu Fengxia?
01:58:32 It's a boy, 7.9 pounds.
01:58:33 - Already?
01:58:36 We said it would be fine!
01:58:38 Comrade, how's my daughter?
01:58:40 Fine. Mother and son are fine.
01:58:42 Is he normal?
01:58:45 Absolutely.
01:58:46 Can we see them?
01:58:48 No, there's danger of infection.
01:58:50 Let us have a quick peek, please?
01:58:52 Please, comrade, just one peek?
01:59:22 Dad! Mom! Has she given birth?
01:59:25 It's a boy.
01:59:26 They are fine. He's 7.9 pounds.
01:59:30 Do you hear him?
01:59:32 Are they in there?
01:59:34 - Have a look.
01:59:36 Please, I'm the father!
01:59:38 It doesn't matter. We're not done yet.
01:59:40 Wait outside. When we're finished,
01:59:47 We'll see them soon.
01:59:50 Is it a boy?
01:59:53 Yes, 7.9 pounds!
01:59:55 - How is he?
01:59:57 Erxi, you're a lucky man!
02:00:00 My son was only 5.5 pounds.
02:00:03 7.9 pounds is excellent.
02:00:05 If you get a car from the factory...
02:00:08 we can drive Fengxia home.
02:00:11 Good idea.
02:00:16 Erxi, seeing as they are both fine...
02:00:19 why don't you see Dr. Wang back.
02:00:23 What's with him?
02:00:34 He ate too quickly.
02:00:38 Did he eat all seven buns?
02:00:41 Yes, just gobbled them up.
02:00:44 Quick, get some water.
02:00:47 You two get the car, we'll be fine.
02:01:03 Have some water.
02:01:07 Careful, it's hot.
02:01:18 Some water should help.
02:01:21 Why'd he do that?
02:01:23 He's been locked up without food.
02:01:28 Drink it slowly.
02:01:32 Help us!
02:01:34 She's bleeding! We don't know what to do.
02:01:37 Quick!
02:01:56 Don't panic. Think of something.
02:01:59 We're just students.
02:02:07 Wouldn't Dr. Wang know?
02:02:09 Yes, he's a professor.
02:02:11 He'd know for sure.
02:02:13 He'll know.
02:02:15 Get Dr. Wang over here.
02:02:25 What's wrong with him? What happened?
02:02:27 He's eaten too much.
02:02:28 What do you mean?
02:02:30 He gobbled up seven buns.
02:02:33 He was starving.
02:02:34 But he was okay after the water.
02:02:37 It was the water that did it.
02:02:41 Never mind. Drag him over!
02:02:43 She's bleeding! Quick!
02:02:56 Please, Doctor, please!
02:03:00 You'll pull through!
02:03:03 It's all right.
02:03:05 Mommy's here. Don't be afraid.
02:03:14 Dr. Wang!
02:03:16 - Feeling better?
02:03:19 Oxygen.
02:03:29 Fengxia! You'll pull through.
02:03:34 Please, Doctor, she's my only daughter.
02:03:37 The only child I have left.
02:03:49 Fengxia! Mommy's here. Don't be afraid.
02:04:10 Some years later...
02:04:52 Grandpa! It's crooked again.
02:04:56 Is it?
02:04:57 I'll fix it.
02:04:59 Take the medicine to Granny.
02:05:08 Granny, your medicine.
02:05:10 Back already?
02:05:12 Has Little Bun been a good boy?
02:05:14 I delivered 10 thermoses of water.
02:05:18 Such a good little boy.
02:05:20 Ten whole thermoses.
02:05:26 Have you had your medicine?
02:05:29 I'll make lunch.
02:05:32 Little Bun...
02:05:33 give me a hand.
02:05:35 I light the fire?
02:05:38 Yes, and I'll make some noodles.
02:05:44 I want to visit Fengxia's grave again...
02:05:48 and take Little Bun's photos...
02:05:51 to show her.
02:05:53 He's another year older.
02:05:55 Fine, I'll let Erxi know.
02:06:05 Little Bun! Hold onto those chicks.
02:06:09 We should've bought them
02:06:13 Now we've got to carry them!
02:06:15 Careful! Don't drop them!
02:06:18 Are you happy?
02:06:22 Grandpa, where will the chicks live?
02:06:25 Where will they live?
02:06:27 I'll find a home for them when we get back.
02:06:48 Youqing eats dumplings.
02:06:50 Fengxia looks at photos.
02:06:52 Little Bun, do you know who Youqing is?
02:06:56 Uncle.
02:06:57 - And Fengxia?
02:07:01 What a clever boy!
02:07:03 Granny, why all the photos for Fengxia?
02:07:08 Before you were born...
02:07:12 Granny said to mommy that...
02:07:15 she should take a photo every year.
02:07:19 If I hadn't given Dr. Wang those buns...
02:07:22 everything would've been fine.
02:07:25 He could have saved our Fengxia.
02:07:28 He's a professor, after all.
02:07:31 He always carries on like this.
02:07:34 It's okay.
02:07:38 We shouldn't have given him water.
02:07:41 People say, once you drink water...
02:07:44 one bun in the stomach turns to seven.
02:07:47 Dr. Wang ate seven buns.
02:07:50 Seven times seven is 49.
02:07:54 It's much too much.
02:07:58 Erxi, is it true that Dr. Wang...
02:08:01 won't eat buns, only rice now?
02:08:05 Not just buns...
02:08:06 anything made from wheat.
02:08:11 Rice costs more than wheat.
02:08:13 What a food bill he must have.
02:08:37 - I'll make dinner.
02:08:40 No, you're tired. You two have a rest.
02:08:44 Little Bun, behave yourself.
02:08:48 Grandpa, where'll we put the chicks?
02:08:53 Let's see.
02:09:05 How about in here?
02:09:08 This box is bigger, isn't it?
02:09:11 They'll have more room to run around.
02:09:15 Then they'll eat more.
02:09:19 And soon they'll grow up.
02:09:27 When will they grow up?
02:09:30 Very soon.
02:09:32 And then?
02:09:34 And then...
02:09:38 the chickens will turn into geese...
02:09:41 and the geese will turn into sheep...
02:09:44 and the sheep will turn into oxen.
02:09:48 And after the oxen?
02:09:51 After oxen...
02:09:54 After oxen, Little Bun will grow up.
02:09:58 I want to ride on an ox's back!
02:10:01 You will ride on an ox's back.
02:10:03 Little Bun won't ride on an ox...
02:10:06 he'll ride trains and planes...
02:10:08 and life will get better and better.
00:00:56 and reached our production target.
00:00:58 We're off to report the good news.
00:01:02 Everyone's earned merit.
00:01:04 Fugui, Jiazhen,
00:01:09 There'll be dumplings
00:01:13 with a whole pig stuffed in each one!
00:01:18 Eat your fill, and then we'll continue.
00:01:23 Fifteen years, we'll surpass America.
00:01:33 We've made enough steel
00:01:38 They'll all go to Taiwan!
00:01:41 One to land on Chiang Kai-shek's bed...
00:01:43 another on his dinner table...
00:01:46 and the last in the toilet!
00:01:51 He won't be able to sleep or eat
00:01:55 and we'll liberate Taiwan!
00:02:02 Xia, Youqing, have some dumplings.
00:02:13 Let them sleep. They'll eat later.
00:02:46 Xu Youqing!
00:02:55 What's up?
00:02:56 The teacher wants us at school
00:02:59 The District Head's making an inspection.
00:03:01 All right. You go on ahead.
00:03:05 Pack a lunchbox. I'll wake him.
00:03:08 He's not going anywhere.
00:03:12 Leave him alone.
00:03:15 - The District Chief is coming.
00:03:19 A kid still has to sleep.
00:03:22 Smelting steel is a duty.
00:03:26 Mr. Niu praised us in front of everyone.
00:03:33 Youqing has to go.
00:03:39 Wake up.
00:03:42 You have to go smelt steel.
00:03:47 Come on, get up.
00:03:51 Your classmates are already on their way.
00:03:54 Must not be politically backward.
00:03:58 Are 15 dumplings enough?
00:04:04 Have 20. You should eat more.
00:04:19 Youqing, wake up. We're nearly there.
00:04:26 When you get there...
00:04:28 put your dumplings in hot water.
00:04:31 Make sure you make them hot enough.
00:04:35 Cold dumplings are bad for the tummy.
00:04:40 - Do you like dumplings?
00:04:43 - Do you like meat?
00:04:45 That's good.
00:04:47 If Youqing does as daddy says...
00:04:49 our lives will get better and better.
00:04:52 Our family...
00:04:55 is like a little chicken.
00:04:59 When it grows up, it becomes a goose.
00:05:02 And that'll turn into a sheep.
00:05:05 The sheep will turn into an ox.
00:05:07 And after the ox?
00:05:09 After the ox is Communism.
00:05:12 And there'll be dumplings and meat
00:06:13 It's Fugui's son?
00:06:16 District Chief arrived after dark.
00:06:18 He backed up,
00:06:22 Youqing was sleeping on the other side.
00:06:26 When the wall collapsed...
00:06:29 he didn't have a chance.
00:06:31 The District Chief was hurt, too.
00:06:34 He hadn't slept for three days.
00:07:03 Fugui, listen to me.
00:07:05 We have to try and bear it,
00:07:25 What's happened?
00:07:28 Answer me!
00:07:32 Daddy's here! Say something!
00:07:49 Take the body away!
00:07:52 We mustn't let his mother see.
00:08:02 Mommy's here! Youqing!
00:08:07 Youqing! What's going on?
00:08:14 Let me see him!
00:09:34 You never had the chance to eat
00:09:40 Mommy's made you more...
00:09:44 twenty this time.
00:09:47 That should be enough.
00:09:51 Once you've eaten...
00:09:53 you can sleep...
00:09:56 a nice, deep sleep.
00:09:59 In life,
00:10:07 So sleep well now.
00:10:12 Mommy will come see you every day.
00:10:21 Youqing, can you ever forgive me?
00:10:27 I shouldn't have let you go to school.
00:10:32 I should've kept your dad...
00:10:34 from making you go.
00:10:42 It's all my fault.
00:10:48 If only I'd stopped him.
00:10:52 I shouldn't have let you go, Youqing!
00:10:58 Oh, my poor darling.
00:11:22 The District Chief has come.
00:11:34 The one who ran over my son?
00:11:37 What's he doing here?
00:11:40 Tell him to leave. He killed my son.
00:11:43 - He's already here.
00:11:56 It's me, Chunsheng.
00:12:06 I meant to call...
00:12:08 after I settled in.
00:12:13 Fugui...
00:12:16 how could it be your son?
00:12:21 You're the District Chief?
00:12:25 It was you who killed my son?
00:12:32 I had only one son, Chunsheng!
00:12:36 I had only one son!
00:12:39 And you killed him!
00:12:46 You, behind the goddamn wheel!
00:12:52 Don't be like that.
00:12:54 The District Chief is upset, too.
00:13:01 How can I ever make it up?
00:13:04 Take this for now.
00:13:08 It's money.
00:13:11 Tell me what else I can do.
00:13:16 No one wants your money.
00:13:18 I want my son. Give me back my son.
00:13:21 You killed him! Give him back to me!
00:13:27 Go away!
00:13:29 Remember, you owe us a life.
00:13:32 You killed him. Remember that.
00:13:37 You killed him.
00:13:40 Go away! Now!
00:13:43 District Chief, let's go.
00:13:44 I think you should go, Chief.
00:13:50 Go away!
00:13:58 All right.
00:14:00 I'm going.
00:14:03 I owe you a life.
00:14:07 I will remember.
00:14:18 What are you doing, you little wretch?
00:14:23 What are you doing?
00:14:26 How dare you!
00:14:27 What's going on?
00:14:29 She smashed the windows of the jeep.
00:14:33 Who the heck is she?
00:14:36 Let her go!
00:14:39 Are you mad?
00:14:42 Do you want your jeep?
00:14:45 No!
00:15:08 The 1960s
00:15:19 June 1966: Start of the
00:15:22 It lasted 10 years...
00:15:24 and left no family unaffected.
00:15:44 - You're eating?
00:15:47 - Don't let me interrupt.
00:15:51 Sit here.
00:16:03 You have to get rid of those puppets.
00:16:07 Everyone knows about them.
00:16:12 I was telling Jiazhen...
00:16:13 that we could...
00:16:17 do propaganda shows.
00:16:18 Put these old things to new use.
00:16:22 Don't you see what they are?
00:16:26 Emperors, scholars and beauties.
00:16:28 Classic feudal types.
00:16:33 Latest editorial:
00:16:35 "The older, the more reactionary".
00:16:46 Do as Chairman Mao says.
00:17:03 They always remind Jiazhen of Youqing.
00:17:09 Let's not bring up the past.
00:17:16 Burn them, okay?
00:17:27 Fetch a brazier.
00:17:31 You can't keep them. Burn them!
00:17:58 Fugui...
00:18:00 Chunsheng has asked me many times...
00:18:02 to get you a better job. What do you think?
00:18:07 Delivering water is fine.
00:18:09 Jiazhen's health is poor.
00:18:13 We'll discuss it later.
00:18:17 I may have found a prospect for Fengxia.
00:18:21 I'll tell you about him.
00:18:23 Let's not let her in on it for now.
00:18:31 I've found just the man for her.
00:18:35 His name is Wan Erxi.
00:18:38 He works in a factory in the county seat.
00:18:42 He is the leader
00:18:46 He'd like to meet her.
00:18:48 Sounds too good. Will he go for Fengxia?
00:18:52 He's also got a handicap...
00:18:54 a lame leg.
00:18:57 How lame? Can he walk?
00:18:59 Yes, and run if he has to.
00:19:03 He can run?
00:19:05 Was he born a cripple?
00:19:07 No, it was an accident at work.
00:19:10 He gets compensation.
00:19:15 Shall we invite him over?
00:19:23 Does she mind us playing matchmaker?
00:19:28 She's not opposed,
00:19:39 Comrade Wan Erxi's here.
00:19:46 Comrade Wan Erxi.
00:19:48 Fengxia's mom and dad.
00:19:51 Come inside.
00:20:03 Have something to drink.
00:20:10 Quotations from Chairman Mao
00:20:15 Comrade Wan works
00:20:18 His father and grandfather
00:20:21 Solid working class stock.
00:20:25 Fengxia's father
00:20:28 A good family.
00:20:30 The Liberation Army
00:20:44 Good.
00:20:53 Where's Fengxia?
00:21:05 Comrade Wan Erxi.
00:21:08 Comrade Fengxia.
00:21:26 I'll be going.
00:21:27 Have something to eat first.
00:21:30 No, thanks.
00:21:34 You won't stay?
00:21:36 Have some lunch first.
00:21:37 No, really.
00:21:42 Let's go.
00:21:57 What do you think?
00:21:59 His leg's not so bad, and he seems nice.
00:22:02 I approve.
00:22:04 Who's to say he'll like our Fengxia?
00:22:06 He only glanced at her,
00:22:11 If it doesn't work out,
00:22:13 Anyway, it's up to Fengxia.
00:22:25 I think she likes him.
00:22:27 It's different from before. Look.
00:22:43 Go ask Mr. Niu...
00:22:46 what the boy thinks.
00:23:01 How's this for Fengxia?
00:23:05 Comrade, could I look at that one?
00:23:09 There's trouble at your home.
00:23:11 Red Guards are swarming over the place.
00:23:14 I just caught them on a ladder,
00:23:18 From where?
00:23:19 No idea! The leader is a cripple.
00:23:23 You'd better hurry back.
00:23:25 A cripple?
00:23:26 Must be Wan Erxi!
00:23:28 He doesn't like Fengxia,
00:23:32 Anything is possible.
00:23:33 Mr. Niu said he was a Red Guard.
00:23:38 We'd better hurry.
00:23:39 Don't forget your package!
00:24:13 Aren't you busy!
00:24:15 I brought some colleagues.
00:24:17 We're fixing the place up.
00:24:20 We replaced the roof tiles...
00:24:22 so it wouldn't leak anymore.
00:24:25 And we've painted Chairman Mao's portrait.
00:24:30 Fengxia helped us.
00:24:36 You're just in time. We've just finished.
00:24:39 - Don't rush off!
00:24:43 We must be going.
00:24:47 Do stay! Come on inside.
00:24:51 Erxi painted this.
00:24:56 "The working class leads us all".
00:24:58 Erxi is good with his hands.
00:25:00 He painted all the Chairman Maos
00:25:06 I'll get some water so you can wash up.
00:25:08 Thanks, we'll go to the factory bathhouse.
00:25:17 You've gone to so much trouble.
00:25:19 Please come again.
00:25:29 What do you think about Fengxia and me?
00:25:33 We're happy if you are.
00:25:35 We approve.
00:25:37 Shall we set a date?
00:25:40 Anytime. You decide.
00:25:44 Fengxia's had a hard life.
00:25:48 If you don't mind...
00:25:50 let's make the wedding a real occasion.
00:25:53 To make her happy.
00:26:49 Today comrades, Wan Erxi and Xu Fengxia...
00:26:53 begin their wedded life.
00:26:56 In good times, we think of Chairman Mao.
00:26:59 Let's sing a song!
00:27:07 Nothing compares
00:27:13 Chairman Mao is dearer
00:27:19 There's nothing as good as socialism
00:27:25 No ocean as deep as class feeling
00:27:31 Maoist Thought
00:27:35 Whoever opposes it, we take as our enemy
00:28:00 Come on, you can't cry today.
00:28:04 They're all singing for Fengxia...
00:28:08 and she can't even join in!
00:28:10 At least it's loud enough for her to hear.
00:28:16 Time for a photo!
00:28:25 Move aside! Stand still!
00:28:32 Hold your little Red Books.
00:28:37 Clear a path! Ship sailing through!
00:28:44 Let's get the whole family.
00:28:58 The ship of revolution! Advance
00:29:07 Time to wrap up.
00:29:09 First, pay respects to Chairman Mao.
00:29:23 Chairman Mao...
00:29:25 Comrade Fengxia's mine now.
00:29:34 Come over here.
00:29:38 Now, bow!
00:29:41 Dad, Mom...
00:29:43 I'm taking Fengxia.
00:29:45 I'll look after her.
00:30:17 Go on, don't be sad.
00:30:19 You'll be back!
00:30:46 Chunsheng.
00:30:50 Congratulations on Fengxia's wedding.
00:30:53 - When did you get here?
00:30:55 But there were so many people,
00:31:03 Come on inside.
00:31:05 Jiazhen, make some tea.
00:31:17 Isn't the tea ready yet?
00:31:19 Chunsheng's been here for ages.
00:31:21 Water's not boiled.
00:31:24 Sit with us for a bit.
00:31:26 Don't be like that.
00:31:31 Come as soon as the water's ready.
00:31:38 But here's boiled water.
00:31:43 Chunsheng came to wish Fengxia well.
00:31:45 You can't go on avoiding him.
00:31:51 Can't we put this behind us?
00:31:54 If only Youqing had been here today.
00:32:08 I'll be going.
00:32:10 Don't go. The tea's ready.
00:32:12 Never mind.
00:32:16 Jiazhen, I know you don't want to see me.
00:32:19 I'll leave my gift here and be gone.
00:32:41 Give it back to him.
00:32:43 I don't want his gifts.
00:32:45 But it's Chairman Mao.
00:33:11 Dad! Mom!
00:33:19 Come on in!
00:33:23 Fengxia, you're back!
00:33:25 You cold?
00:33:32 I'm fine, really.
00:33:34 How are you feeling, Mom?
00:33:36 On the mend.
00:33:37 Better when you come over.
00:33:40 Have you eaten?
00:33:42 I'll make something.
00:33:44 Lunch is all taken care of.
00:33:54 Help me with the table.
00:34:05 You brought a bottle.
00:34:21 Dad, Mom, we're having a baby.
00:34:26 No wonder there's a bottle!
00:34:28 Really?
00:34:30 I just came from the hospital.
00:34:36 Fengxia's going to be a mother.
00:34:39 Fengxia, you're going to be a mother.
00:34:44 Cheers!
00:34:52 Erxi, when you went
00:34:55 what did they say
00:34:58 That she's in terrific shape.
00:35:01 Still, you can't be too careful.
00:35:03 Your folks aren't around.
00:35:05 After the birth,
00:35:11 Spend as much time as you can with her.
00:35:15 When I was pregnant with Fengxia...
00:35:17 her dad was never around.
00:35:21 He was very busy?
00:35:23 Very!
00:35:28 Don't bring up the past.
00:35:30 I was a real no-hoper.
00:35:32 But things are better now.
00:35:35 And will be better for your child.
00:35:39 Erxi, drink up.
00:35:43 Help yourself.
00:35:48 I had the photo framed.
00:35:55 We haven't taken a photo in years.
00:35:58 This is great.
00:36:05 After the child is born...
00:36:08 have a photo taken every year.
00:36:12 We've no photos of Fengxia as a child.
00:36:15 Okay.
00:36:16 Fengxia, after the child is born...
00:36:20 have a photo taken every year.
00:36:28 Dad, I saw Chunsheng yesterday.
00:36:32 He's been arrested as a capitalist.
00:36:35 They held a public trial against him.
00:36:38 We have to draw a line between us and him.
00:36:46 Of course.
00:36:48 There's always been a line.
00:36:51 Haven't had much to do with him for years.
00:37:13 Fugui!
00:37:18 Who's there?
00:37:19 Chunsheng.
00:37:22 Who?
00:37:23 Chunsheng.
00:37:29 What do you want?
00:37:33 Come out for a second.
00:37:37 Just say what you want.
00:37:40 It'll just take a minute.
00:38:15 Well?
00:38:16 Fugui...
00:38:19 I've always felt terrible about Youqing.
00:38:24 I've often tried to give you money.
00:38:29 It's all in this account. Take it.
00:38:36 You came for this?
00:38:40 Take this...
00:38:43 and my heart will be at ease.
00:38:47 All my debts will have been paid.
00:38:50 What do you mean?
00:38:54 Yesterday, my wife killed herself.
00:38:59 Killed herself?
00:39:01 Why?
00:39:04 I don't know.
00:39:05 Have you seen her body?
00:39:08 No.
00:39:10 I just got an official notice.
00:39:16 You mustn't lose hope.
00:39:19 Don't go getting any stupid ideas.
00:39:24 You must bear it, no matter what!
00:39:27 You can't take that road yourself.
00:39:33 I don't want to live anymore!
00:39:37 You just have to!
00:39:40 We've been through the valley of death.
00:39:43 Coming out alive wasn't easy.
00:39:49 Can't you see?
00:39:56 Let's say we accept this money.
00:39:58 Keep it for us. There's plenty of time.
00:40:06 I know how difficult it must be...
00:40:09 but you've got to pull through...
00:40:14 you've got to bear it!
00:40:18 I don't think I can.
00:40:26 Chunsheng, it's cold.
00:40:29 Come inside.
00:40:31 Yes, come in.
00:40:33 No, thank you, I've got to go.
00:40:36 I snuck out just now...
00:40:38 and better get back.
00:40:48 Chunsheng, remember...
00:40:51 you still owe us a life!
00:40:53 You've got to value yours!
00:41:21 Mr. Niu, is your wife at home?
00:41:23 Yes.
00:41:26 What are these eggs for?
00:41:28 Fengxia's about to have a baby.
00:41:32 Fengxia's about to give birth?
00:41:34 Time does fly!
00:41:36 Erxi sent word from the hospital.
00:41:39 She's in labor. We're on our way there.
00:41:42 Another working class member on the way!
00:41:45 So we've got to get going.
00:41:48 We'll bring the baby to see you.
00:41:51 - But you won't stay?
00:42:04 Never mind. Let's go. Don't worry.
00:42:09 Why's she crying?
00:42:12 What's happened?
00:42:13 I'm no longer head of the township.
00:42:16 They say I'm a capitalist.
00:42:20 I have to confess my crimes.
00:42:22 You! Crimes?
00:42:24 You, a capitalist?
00:42:26 Everyone knows you.
00:42:29 I have faith in the Party.
00:42:31 I've always followed Chairman Mao's path.
00:42:37 When will they let you return?
00:42:43 Let's not talk about it.
00:42:44 You go to Fengxia.
00:42:47 Go now, I'll be okay.
00:42:58 Niu, don't let it get to you. Take care!
00:43:02 We'll visit you after
00:43:08 Send her my very best. She's producing
00:43:12 Everything's fine and normal.
00:43:15 They say she's great. No problems.
00:43:20 When is it due?
00:43:22 From the contractions, not right now.
00:43:28 Fengxia, don't be nervous.
00:43:30 Won't hurt a bit.
00:43:33 Remember to breathe and push.
00:43:36 When you're pushing, bite on a towel.
00:43:42 Where's the towel?
00:43:48 Here, bite on this. It'll save your teeth.
00:43:54 Do whatever the doctor tells you.
00:43:56 It'll be quick if you push.
00:43:58 Do as Mommy says and push.
00:44:01 Everything will be fine.
00:44:03 What's this about pushing?
00:44:07 And what's this shouting? Out!
00:44:11 Go wait in the corridor.
00:44:13 Okay, we're going.
00:44:15 - Sorry for the trouble.
00:44:18 Sit down.
00:44:31 They're all so young.
00:44:34 Are they nurses?
00:44:36 Who examined Fengxia?
00:44:38 They did.
00:44:39 You haven't seen any doctors?
00:44:41 No.
00:44:43 Go ask where the doctors are.
00:44:46 We must find a good doctor.
00:44:49 They've been locked away.
00:44:51 The Red Guards are in control!
00:44:56 No doctors?
00:45:05 Comrade, are there any doctors?
00:45:07 Yes, us!
00:45:09 I mean, older ones.
00:45:10 They're all reactionaries.
00:45:14 Relax. Your wife's fine.
00:45:25 Erxi, I'm worried.
00:45:28 Fengxia's a mute.
00:45:32 Can these young people cope?
00:45:35 We need an experienced doctor.
00:45:37 Even if he only stands by,
00:45:44 Have to get one out.
00:45:47 Let me think.
00:46:14 What is he doing here?
00:46:19 Wang Bin! Stand up!
00:46:25 This is the same Wang Bin
00:46:29 me and my wife,
00:46:34 How vile can you get?
00:46:37 We dragged him here today...
00:46:40 to educate him, to criticize him...
00:46:44 and to let him witness her giving birth.
00:46:46 To show him the heirs
00:46:49 The working class is really something!
00:46:52 Wang Bin, don't make any trouble.
00:46:54 Don't move.
00:46:56 I wouldn't dare.
00:47:10 That's professor Wang...
00:47:12 head of obstetrics.
00:47:21 Dr. Wang, don't be afraid.
00:47:24 I was putting on a show.
00:47:26 We're not accusing you.
00:47:28 My wife's having a baby.
00:47:30 I wanted you here for her sake.
00:47:37 No, it's better if I wear it.
00:47:38 Let me wear it!
00:47:48 Go ask.
00:47:56 I'm just going to see him.
00:48:16 He's all right.
00:48:20 Just hungry.
00:48:21 Hasn't been fed for three days!
00:48:23 I'll go buy some buns.
00:48:52 Where's Erxi?
00:48:54 They've gone to eat.
00:48:56 How's Fengxia?
00:48:57 They say she's fine.
00:48:59 Want one?
00:49:00 Give them to Dr. Wang.
00:49:03 Dr. Wang, have some buns.
00:49:11 Take your time. There's plenty.
00:49:27 Fengxia's child won't be mute, will he?
00:49:31 Of course not. She wasn't born that way.
00:49:34 Will the baby be crippled?
00:49:37 Erxi's is a work-related injury.
00:49:40 Anyway, it's bad luck to talk like that.
00:49:44 Why not use this time...
00:49:46 to think of a name for the kid?
00:49:51 What name do you like?
00:49:56 "Don't Gamble".
00:49:57 - Don't be stupid.
00:50:00 What name do you like?
00:50:14 "Little Bun".
00:50:16 You just say anything!
00:50:18 That's not a name!
00:50:20 But it's a tradition.
00:50:22 Cat, Dog or Little Bun...
00:50:25 are not recorded in the Register of Names.
00:50:29 He'd know for sure.
00:50:31 He doesn't know those kids exist...
00:50:35 so they don't die.
00:50:37 That's what the old folks say.
00:50:42 Okay, then Little Bun it is.
00:50:44 For now, anyway.
00:50:47 Later, his dad can give him a proper name.
00:51:12 Where's the family of Xu Fengxia?
00:51:16 It's a boy, 7.9 pounds.
00:51:18 - Already?
00:51:20 We said it would be fine!
00:51:22 Comrade, how's my daughter?
00:51:25 Fine. Mother and son are fine.
00:51:27 Is he normal?
00:51:29 Absolutely.
00:51:30 Can we see them?
00:51:32 No, there's danger of infection.
00:51:34 Let us have a quick peek, please?
00:51:37 Please, comrade, just one peek?
00:52:06 Dad! Mom! Has she given birth?
00:52:09 It's a boy.
00:52:11 They are fine. He's 7.9 pounds.
00:52:14 Do you hear him?
00:52:16 Are they in there?
00:52:18 - Have a look.
00:52:20 Please, I'm the father!
00:52:22 It doesn't matter. We're not done yet.
00:52:25 Wait outside. When we're finished,
00:52:31 We'll see them soon.
00:52:35 Is it a boy?
00:52:37 Yes, 7.9 pounds!
00:52:39 - How is he?
00:52:42 Erxi, you're a lucky man!
00:52:44 My son was only 5.5 pounds.
00:52:47 7.9 pounds is excellent.
00:52:50 If you get a car from the factory...
00:52:52 we can drive Fengxia home.
00:52:55 Good idea.
00:53:00 Erxi, seeing as they are both fine...
00:53:04 why don't you see Dr. Wang back.
00:53:07 What's with him?
00:53:18 He ate too quickly.
00:53:23 Did he eat all seven buns?
00:53:25 Yes, just gobbled them up.
00:53:28 Quick, get some water.
00:53:32 You two get the car, we'll be fine.
00:53:47 Have some water.
00:53:51 Careful, it's hot.
00:54:02 Some water should help.
00:54:05 Why'd he do that?
00:54:07 He's been locked up without food.
00:54:12 Drink it slowly.
00:54:17 Help us!
00:54:18 She's bleeding! We don't know what to do.
00:54:22 Quick!
00:54:41 Don't panic. Think of something.
00:54:44 We're just students.
00:54:51 Wouldn't Dr. Wang know?
00:54:53 Yes, he's a professor.
00:54:55 He'd know for sure.
00:54:57 He'll know.
00:54:59 Get Dr. Wang over here.
00:55:09 What's wrong with him? What happened?
00:55:11 He's eaten too much.
00:55:13 What do you mean?
00:55:14 He gobbled up seven buns.
00:55:17 He was starving.
00:55:19 But he was okay after the water.
00:55:21 It was the water that did it.
00:55:25 Never mind. Drag him over!
00:55:28 She's bleeding! Quick!
00:55:40 Please, Doctor, please!
00:55:44 You'll pull through!
00:55:47 It's all right.
00:55:49 Mommy's here. Don't be afraid.
00:55:59 Dr. Wang!
00:56:00 - Feeling better?
00:56:04 Oxygen.
00:56:14 Fengxia! You'll pull through.
00:56:18 Please, Doctor, she's my only daughter.
00:56:22 The only child I have left.
00:56:33 Fengxia! Mommy's here. Don't be afraid.
00:56:54 Some years later...
00:57:36 Grandpa! It's crooked again.
00:57:40 Is it?
00:57:41 I'll fix it.
00:57:43 Take the medicine to Granny.
00:57:52 Granny, your medicine.
00:57:55 Back already?
00:57:56 Has Little Bun been a good boy?
00:57:58 I delivered 10 thermoses of water.
00:58:03 Such a good little boy.
00:58:04 Ten whole thermoses.
00:58:11 Have you had your medicine?
00:58:14 I'll make lunch.
00:58:16 Little Bun...
00:58:18 give me a hand.
00:58:19 I light the fire?
00:58:22 Yes, and I'll make some noodles.
00:58:28 I want to visit Fengxia's grave again...
00:58:32 and take Little Bun's photos...
00:58:35 to show her.
00:58:37 He's another year older.
00:58:40 Fine, I'll let Erxi know.
00:58:50 Little Bun! Hold onto those chicks.
00:58:54 We should've bought them
00:58:57 Now we've got to carry them!
00:59:00 Careful! Don't drop them!
00:59:03 Are you happy?
00:59:06 Grandpa, where will the chicks live?
00:59:09 Where will they live?
00:59:11 I'll find a home for them
00:59:32 Youqing eats dumplings.
00:59:34 Fengxia looks at photos.
00:59:37 Little Bun,
00:59:40 Uncle.
00:59:42 - And Fengxia?
00:59:46 What a clever boy!
00:59:47 Granny, why all the photos for Fengxia?
00:59:53 Before you were born...
00:59:56 Granny said to mommy that...
00:59:59 she should take a photo every year.
01:00:03 If I hadn't given Dr. Wang those buns...
01:00:07 everything would've been fine.
01:00:10 He could have saved our Fengxia.
01:00:12 He's a professor, after all.
01:00:15 He always carries on like this.
01:00:18 It's okay.
01:00:22 We shouldn't have given him water.
01:00:25 People say, once you drink water...
01:00:28 one bun in the stomach turns to seven.
01:00:32 Dr. Wang ate seven buns.
01:00:34 Seven times seven is 49.
01:00:38 It's much too much.
01:00:42 Erxi, is it true that Dr. Wang...
01:00:45 won't eat buns, only rice now?
01:00:49 Not just buns...
01:00:51 anything made from wheat.
01:00:55 Rice costs more than wheat.
01:00:57 What a food bill he must have.
01:01:21 - I'll make dinner.
01:01:24 No, you're tired. You two have a rest.
01:01:28 Little Bun, behave yourself.
01:01:33 Grandpa, where'll we put the chicks?
01:01:37 Let's see.
01:01:50 How about in here?
01:01:52 This box is bigger, isn't it?
01:01:56 They'll have more room to run around.
01:01:59 Then they'll eat more.
01:02:03 And soon they'll grow up.
01:02:12 When will they grow up?
01:02:15 Very soon.
01:02:17 And then?
01:02:19 And then...
01:02:22 the chickens will turn into geese...
01:02:25 and the geese will turn into sheep...
01:02:28 and the sheep will turn into oxen.
01:02:32 And after the oxen?
01:02:35 After oxen...
01:02:38 After oxen, Little Bun will grow up.
01:02:43 I want to ride on an ox's back!
01:02:45 You will ride on an ox's back.
01:02:48 Little Bun won't ride on an ox...
01:02:50 he'll ride trains and planes...
01:02:53 and life will get better and better.
