Be careful.
So much dust.
Is there any news from Miss Cai?
Nope.
Miss Zhu?
Nope. There are not much news recently.
Give it to me.
Come on, have some noodles.
Only noodles left?
Don't you forget today is the date for noodles?
Damn, it's my birthday. Thanks a lot!
You know little about me.
My son died yesterday.
For this tiny life,
I've struggled against death for three days and nights
I've been sitting beside him for over 40 hours.
And now,
Her pretty eyes just closed,
and his two arms are crossed on his white shirt
Now, all I have in this world is you.
But you know nothing.
Nothing about me.
I want to talk with you, and tell you everything.
I want to let you know, my whole life is always yours
But you know nothing about my life.
If I was still alive,
I would tear this letter and keep silent.
Like what I was before.
When you get this letter,
you will know,
this is a dying woman,
who is telling you all about her life.
Don't be afraid.
This dying woman want nothing, She don't want love from anybody else,
or pity, sympathy but there is a requirement
That is you must believe what I'll tell you.
Please believe everything I say.
And this is my only requirement.
People will never lie when her only son died.
I am sure you won't remember me any more.
Never remember the tacky widow of a primary school teacher
and her little thin teenage daughter
I lived with you in a same square building
Before you moved in,
I fought with the person everyday, who had lived in your room.
He's not nice to the other neighbor.
Finally, this family got trouble.
That guy is a thief, and always steals rich people.
One day, he was arrested and be sent to jail.
Cops searched his house and confiscated his property
Somebody moved into the north room!
Really? What does he do?
A writer, in a newspaper office.
Wow, so he is well educated.
Sure he is, and he has fame in Beijin.
The seal was on the door for three days And was tore out.
The house lord told mom
another writer help this single gentleman rented the north room.
That's the first time I heard your name.
oh, look what it looks like! Change it a little bit.
Hello, miss.
Sorry for the troubles I made. Please forgive me. Don't worry. It's all right.
Hello, miss.
Get out of the way for this lady.
What do you think of it this time?
It's OK.
God, they finally moved!
What a good news!
They always keep fighting and crying.
Troublesome.
I think you have too many books.
There are only about ten books which belong to me.
these cover are made by normal paper, They are cheap.
But I treasure them
This guy have so many books.
and so many foreign books. What's he look like?
I guess you are a gentleman wearing glasses
and have long beard.
solemn, kind and humorous just like my geography teacher
the difference is you must be kinder and gentler
You moved in at the second day, but I didn't see you.
I heard the music and voice from your room.
so did the later three days.
only music and laughter
From many people
you only have one voice
soft music happy laughter
I saw you!
You don't like the image of my grandpa when I was teen age.
I was really scared.
Do you want to wear it or not!
we are poor and we can't afford that.
Do you want me beg you, my dear
Good morning, Miss
Good morning
I fell in love at the very first second
I know women like to ask you this question, People who are doted on always say that.
But please believe me
No woman love you so much like what I do
at past, and until now.
nothing in this world can compare with the love
from a young girl, which is not aware of.
because this love is hopeless, and humbleness.
Ingratiation and passion
This is different from the boundless love from adult woman.
They are insatiability.
Only a lonely young girl, can hold her whole passion and love together.
I was not ready at all, but that's my destiny
like falling into a abyss.
from that second.
you are the only one in my heart.
Thank you, miss
OK, that's it, don't write any more.
You've been at home for a whole day. Go get some fun!
take it to the north room
Did you hear me?
This kid is silly. It's spring festivel!
I am busy now. Do you want to go or not?
You want to go, you go.
you are such a inconsiderate kid!
I can't count on you. I do it myself.
Do you know why?
why do I
flat
It's in holiday. I don't wanna be angry with you. All right, I admit I am flatting.
let me help you.
Thank you, miss
come on in , miss
put it here, let me do it
please sit down
That's the first time I went into your room.
The room is so dark, and comfortable
like a sort of invitation, I can smell your cigarettes
feel a kind of happiness which makes me faint
the rush few minutes is the happiest time in my childhood.
the reason I told you this is because I want you to know
there is someone, you never know before, loving you.
and she is gonna die for you
This is the happiest time,
but also I wanna tell you the most terrible time
They are so close to each other
Do you think it will be successful?
why not?
I think it's a good idea. You see, this guy don't have any kids before.
no bad habit and honest
all his money is spent in his house property.
he is a rich man in that county
how can you find a guy like him in this years!
Your mom did all these for you.
I don't want anything, at all.
So will we still live here?
Listen to yourself,silly why would you still have to live here?
You are going to have a good time in Shan Dong
And find your mum a good sun-in-law someday
- That would be good enough for her - What's wrong?
I knew it! The kid is sure to play tricks on me
Just like her dad They just can't give me a break
Don't worry,Don't worry But anyway,the girl should have acted like a grown-up
You are crying? I'm telling you Don't even think about that
Not so much ability but such a bad temper
Mum
This is the last night we are here We are going to Shan Dong tomorrow
That night,I suddenly felt that... Without you...
my life is gonna stop
Liang
My son died yesterday
If I keep on living
I'm gonna be alone again
There is no more horrible thing than living by yourself while surrounded by the crowd
During the six long years in Shan Dong
I realized that
I've been thinking about you all the time Our hearts were bounding all the time
It always took me all day long,just sitting there thinking about each time that I saw you each time that I waited for you
That was just one year But I felt like it was all my childhood I remember every minute of it
I felt like it just happened yesterday I bought all your articles and books
just to see your name As long as I can see your name...
that day is my holiday
During the six years we have never been apart
I have only one thing on my mind
it's to go back to Beiping to see you
Finally, in that year I entered a female teachers college
Look forward,Look forward
Watch the kids
Please,please
Sorry
OK,stop
You have pretty much time to care about politics
It matters to us all Besides,all my classmates are going
Oh
My home is not far from here
Do you wanna take a look?
- If you have time - Yes,I do
I...am OK
I must have met you before
- Really? - Don't you think?
No,I don't think so
Why are you walking so fast? You almost went the wrong way
Are you cold?
Let me guess
Where are you from
Go ahead
You won't understand
This moment,in your house
I just thinking
many things before
my childhood,my dreams
I spend my whole life on this
this is a gate,a gate i wanna cross it hundred times
now I came in
in your arms,this is my dream
the dream comes true,the dream never disappear
I have to leave now,or I'll be later
Do you have to go to WanPing?
Yes,I have to
I'll be back in couple days
the situation there is very bad
it's very bad
if North China in danger,Peking will in danger too
Did you noticed all government officers had gone
The japanese army is coming
I'll stay at school all the time
I went find you when I came back
You never find me after you came back
In that two months,I wait you at the gate evey day
I suddenly discovered
In your mind
I think whatever where we are
Our distance
still so far
and I know I have your baby
I decided to move away
How can I tell you
You will never believe a young girl
she did and will concentrated on you only
you will never believe you are the baby's father
maybe you think I have other idea
You'll doubt me There is shadow between us
a light,doubt shadow
But I have my pride,I don't like you
doubt me,I'll take the responsibility myself
and I don't like you doubt me
I hope you feel sweet,when you miss me
I like to be the only one,in all women you know
But,you never think about me
You don't remember me any more
I came to my friend's home at ShanDong
You know what happeded then. The war...
the Japanese army came here
I escape to inland,until I can't go any longer
I lost all my friends
then I born my baby in a small town of SiChuan
I can't keep you
But you can pass you to me forever
I can feel you grow in my blood vessel
our lives stick together
Because of this
I feel so happy And I won't let you go
Your mom is there
Mom,uncle said will bring me to take big plane
He just a child
Let's go

Is everything all right?
It's okey
We should have a meal
look at your mouth
Mom,can I give my money to them?
my son,it's too much poor people in the world
was abused
they are victims
I will never let my boy
My sweet bright boy,stay in garbage dump
grow up in dirty air
I can't let those dirty words come from his young and tender mouth
I can't let him dress those broken clothes
Your child should own everything
everything you have
so I stay with someone else
someone who can give us such living conditions
whatever he is yound or old

We lost our country and family after these years' war
My emotion to you seems to be so little
that I even unwilling to tell it. I've only done one thing.
What I do is to send you a bunch of white roses on your birthday.
Like the one
when we first get together.
To momerize the bygone days.
Mum's back.
How about you?
Well.
What have you learned in school today?
Arithmetics
See what you are looking! Your face getting so dirty!
Madam

Let's go and have dinner.
But I do blame myself today.

How lovely he is
And he's handsome
Mum, how about my shooting?
You haven't shoot on any of them
I say not good

You should prepare for the future.
I don't want, and I can't think so far
I live in the present time!
But you're not so young
What does this matter?
Nothing, but I think...
..., forget it
Are you all right?
All right
What about you?
Nothing
How about him?
I think every men looks like the same.
It's great to fall in love with you.
Forget his words.
Let's go.
Looking at this made me feel I've got headache.
Captain Huang, Lao Zhao
Why are you here? I'm here everyday.
Then why I haven't seen you yesterday?
I haven't seen you, too.
Let me introduce...
This is Mr. Xu, His name is Xu Ai You.
This one you must have known from Captain Huang.
This is Miss Jiang.
Take a seat.
I've read your papers.
Just so so. I wrote them long time ago.
I heard that you've written novels? I'm sorry that I haven't read about them.
You know, it takes too much time to read novels. Not worthy.
Don't be sorry. I don't write novels now.
Because the real man's life are more vivid than the persons in the novel.
You're right.
Captain Huang, may I have the honor to dance with Miss Jiang?
Miss Jiang
Ladies don't drink.
Drink later.
Why don't you dance?
I don't like dancing. I just pretended to like dancing.
So why you come here?
I feel dull to be alone. Being here is a good way to kill time.a
Don't you a writer?
No, I just write occationally.
What are you chatting, Captain Huang?
Come here and have a drink
Do you need water?
Let's stop dancing.
Please dance a bit more. You can chat first, Xiao Fang.
How do you get to know about each other?
It's easy to get familiar with me.
So we've been known, of course.
So nice.
It's my honor to know you.
When will I see you next time, madam?
As you wish
Now?
O.K.
What is friend? What is dignity?
Next time I will do the same. You voice has a mysterious strength.
It makes me can't refuse. After several years change,
still like the same.
Even if I lay in the tomb, I would stand up and get out of it.
follow you.
The Kuomintang and the Commuist party are fighting again! It's not a good time.
Jiang Jieshi sent the troops. But the Commuist don't let them through.
It seems that the Double Oct. Address will soon become useless.
I have to go to Zhang Jia Kou for a week or two.
What a pity.
What you mean? The country or us?
Both.
My lover often goes out, too.
That what an army should do.
Not that air force man.
They will come back sooner or later.
Yes, but they will forget everything after they get back.
Do you feel that things happened just now have already happened earlier?
What?
Like having breakfast.
You and me, too.
And also talked about the war. Say that going to the outer parts.
Don's you feel strange?
I know that someone has tried to explain this in an scientific way.
But I do hope this is a destiny.
You and me must have been lovers before we got birth.
How about you?
Nothing, I think I have to go now.
Wait.
I'll call on you as soon as I get back.
Can you give me a flower?
Of course.
But it's a bit wither and fall.
Let me put it on you.
Is is a flower sent by a woman?
I don't know, maybe.
Every year this time, someone has asked the flower shop to send my these flowers.
But never know who he is.
I have to go.
All right.
Good moring, lady.
My son died yesterday. My son!
Now there's no one worth our love on the world
Except you. But who you are?
You never know out who am I when you walk passing me.
You always keep going.
There's once I thought I could catch you.
Catch you on my son. Watching him growing.
When he is quite, you two looks almost the same.
But in one night, he left me away.
Never back, leave me alone.
I feel lonely now than any time.
Maybe you can feel now
Maybe you can just feel a litte. How much I love you.
But who will send you the flower every year?
The vase will be left there vacant.
You, every year, tender breath all around.
And me will go with the wind.
I can't keep writing, my dear.
Take care.
