Auntie what's wrong?
Why didn't you pick up the phone?
Auntie you are not talking Why?
I don't answer calls when I am at work
And you have known this ever since you were five
Ha ha How is your painting coming along?
Is it hot over there in Singapore?
I have left Singapore
How about your job with the newspaper?
I quit
What did you say?
I can't hear you!
I flew from Taibei in the morning
I am now in Hong Kong
Guess where I went in the afternoon?
I went to the Cemetery and
put some flowers on Uncle Xue's tomb
Miss are you ready to order?
Yes I would like to have a cappuccino please
Ok Thanks
Roses, of course Red
I have a question for you, Auntie a tiny one
What is it that Uncle Xue died of?
Was it leukemia?
Auntie! We were talking about you
Now you are turning me into the topic
I am fine I am not lesbian
I am not depressed
I even don't have colds
I am not feverish
The dead are all buried
And of the living I don't see anyone with the guts to take me on
How did you promise me?
You were going to find a quiet place and get settled
and to find a peaceful man and make him your husband
Xiaorui! This is a big world
and should have space enough for you to build a home
When and where are you going
to stop throwing yourself around like this?
It does one no good to live free-floating in the world
I don't want to disturb you Auntie
I want to disturb no one
I know that I must find the answer for myself
But how I still long to hear you answer my question!
What is it in this world
that stands between the living and the dead?
And what is it that sets apart people who love each other?
Mr Chen?
Yes
Minan dialect Good Please come in
You are from?
Well Xiluo, Yunlin County
It is on the Muddy Creek
The Muddy Creek is well known for its rice
It is quite impressive, I mean for a student from the country to go to medical school
How is your family doing?
My father owned a rice mill when he was alive and we were doing fine
After he died
my uncles divided the property
Life is not what it used to be
That is why I try to work as much as I can when I am not taking classes
It is a delight to see a young man so hard-working and determined to achieve
Have some tea please
Thank you
Yumeng come down here
Say hi to Teacher Chen
He has never been able to get his English pronunciation right
Because he is too shy to open his mouth
Hi! Would you like me to be your teacher?
No
Rule Number One is to be cheeky
When you speak, make sure you speak aloud and with cadences
Give whatever you say the full force of your voice
Never mind when you find yourself speaking wrong
If I speak wrong,
why shouldn't I mind?
Is that a problem?
Remember we are cheeky
Rule Number Two is to pair words up
Words are to be memorized in pairs
Boy: Girl
Shoes for men
Shoes for lady
Shoes for men
Shoes for lady
Bathroom for men
Bathroom for lady
Bathroom for men
Bathroom for lady
Do you know why I am teaching you these words?
There will be a day
when you perform on the stage
Everyone in the audience watches you
Where will they direct their eyes?
To your shoes, to see if they are clean
When you get off, your hands clutching the bouquet
and your feet beating the floor with each stride
where will you go?
Bathroom for men
Why?
Because I will be too nervous to hold my water
You know what?
You are really bright
You are the cleverest student I have ever seen
Bye
Bye Sir
Bye Bye
Yumeng's sister, are you?
I am Chen Qiushui,
Yumeng's English teacher
It is easy to tell that this guy is smarter than the last few teachers we hired
He meant to make Yumeng speak,
and Yumeng did it
What are you laughing about?
Mom! Please!
Tell brother to shut up
You! Who the hell are you?
Why don't you answer me?
I am Doctor Wang's new assistant
Assistant? In what way?
When Doctor Wang does an extraction
I will be there to hand him the forceps
Doctor Wang took out a good tooth of someone a few days ago
You look like that man
I am Wang Biyun's neighbor
I live over there
I am also her boyfriend
Wang Biyun?
I got it
It must be tough to be boyfriend to a dentist's daughter
You are right to spend your time standing at the gate
What kind of boyfriend are you?
Are you one of those who dream of her by day?
Or one of those who dream of her by night?
Me? I dream of her night and day
and can never wake up
That's all right
We are all the same
It can be so disappointing to waking up from a nice dream
But it would be so much better to dream on the inside of the gate
than standing here on the outside
One day when we were young,
One wonderful morning in May
You told me
You loved me
Your tea Miss
When we were young one day
(Japanese) OK I am coming Thanks
You loved me
Once more, from the beginning
One day when we were young,
One wonderful morning in may
You told me
You loved me
When we were young one day,
Sweet songs of spring were sung
And music was never so gay,
You told me
You loved me
When we were young one day
Don't stop!
What are you standing here for?
I
So many times I have seen you standing here
What are you up to?
Is it a debt?
You owe me? Or I owe you?
Tell me
What's on your mind?
I don't know
Open your mouth
Open! Ah
Buck-toothed as you are
what makes you believe that you are a match for my daughter?
I really cannot help it
I can help
It tastes like my mother's food
Then have a few more On me just like last time
Qiushui,
did you really give my letter to her?
Roses Roses
Hi, Officer, you haven't paid yet
What did you say?
My fare
Go to Hell
You taught her brother to sing in English,
what made her sing along with you?
How much does her father pay you each month?
I can double it
Please,
don't go to her house any more
Qiushui! Qiushui!
(Minnan dialect) Big Brother would you care for a rose?
Have there lately been any strangers who came to visit this household?
Strangers?
No there haven't
The Doctor and his family live very simply
I know it just too well
Still, if any strangers come
please let us know
Sure sure
Is there anything wrong?
Hoeing a rice field in the noon-sun glare
I drop my sweat to the rice root
Of those who have meals
How many realize the hardship contained by the grains in the bowl?
Is this Tang Portry?
It is a dog
Say it in English please
It's a dog
That's right
It is an insane dog barking at the sun
Let me show you another one
Isn't this beautiful?
What is it?
A turkey
Right a turkey
A turkey
A flying peacock
Teacher Chen, how come you are so knowledgeable
I know something about everything,
but none of them very deep
One Two Three Four Five
Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
Eleven Twelve Thirteen
Fourteen Fifteen
A student returning to Taiwan for summer vacation
ran into a pretty woman on the ship
It was love on first sight
He would marry no other woman
And she would marry no other man
Do you have any idea who this couple were?
That is Dad and Mom
No Mom and I were made for each other
But we were not that desperate
They were Mr and Mrs Du the Dean of your medical school and his wife
What a beautiful textbook case
Hey you, you should study it well
Otherwise you are not a good student
Tingwu!
Well Mrs Du is pretty for sure
But you should know
that there is another woman even prettier
You know who she is?
Tingwu!
You have good teeth
I like people with good teeth
Why?
Because people with good teeth have good hearts too
Dad! You are starting it again
Please pass me the bread and butter
Please excuse me
But there is something I need to explain to you
Sure whatever
Now that it is vacation time at medical school
I'd like to go back to Xiluo
to visit my mother
There will a few days when I won't be able to teach Yumeng
My apologies for that
Oh, it was too considerate of you Teacher Chen
Apologies should be ours actually
I didn't realize that it would be such a coincident
Please give me a minute
I'll go and fetch something
Here is your pay for this month and next two months
Please take it
I am not sure
It is my mother's gift take it
Thank you very much
The thing is
that I have a friend who is an English teacher
She lost her job when she was ill
Out of sympathy
I gave her your job
And I have been feeling embarrassed for what I have done
I I can put off my trip home
I lack experience,
and may not have done a good job
If there's anything that you are unsatisfied with,
I am sure I can improve
Oh, no You have been a good teacher an excellent one
We are all grateful
Is this a sign of how grateful you are?
Mother, this is unfair!
Mother, what's wrong with my sister?
I remember your friend teaches Japanese
You drank too much
Mother, I don't want to change teachers
Well let it be so
I am thankful
for your kindness to me all this while
I am also thankful for the rain
because it made it possible for me to stay for this wonderful dinner
It is getting late, I should be going
Let me know if you have any problem with your teeth
I am so sorry!
So the in-laws had you over for dinner?
Have you ever heard of
the Last Supper?
What did you have for it?
You will never find out
What do you want to do?
If you had given her my letter,
things would never have become like this
Take off your hand
I am telling you
your letter was thrown in the garbage can
Stop dreaming!
You sentimental fool
You cheated me Now you are insulting me
There she is
Don't look that way
Let's go
Mom!
You
made a girl friend in Taibei?
Could you step out?
Biyun!
What brought you here?
I wanted to see you
How amazing that you could find the way
to our house
I kept asking for direction all the way from the train station
I took me the better half of the day
Let me take a look
Is that really you?
Yes, it is you
Who else?
A girl away from home like this
will certainly make the parents worry
I am sorry
I was on my way to Xinzhu with a painting group,
and dropped by to say hi
What happened?
I had rheumatism when I was little
It bothers me in bad weather
Normally it is all right
The countryside is unlike Taibei
I can not treat you to anything better
I hope you don't find it too disappointing
This is excellent! Delicious!
After she has finished her meal,
you should take her to the train station
Mother, there is no train any more
I mean the train going back to Taibei
Then you
you go to the main street
to make a phone call to her home
OK
Otherwise her parents would worry
It is not proper for a girl to spent the night away from home
My mother had this on for the her wedding
It is very becoming on you
Let me take a good look at you
On New Democracy
Qiushui, do you belong to any of the left-wing groups?
If I told you yes would you be afraid?
"Left" and "right" for me are only words
I am not a political person
What I look for is only a quiet life I can call my own
I feel
that I am like the kind of person described by Lu Xun,
someone who was born into a family of declined fortuneand has to fend for himself
a rebel
a brave fighter
What is the problem with living a quiet life?
Why should one want to be a rebel?
To make it possible for more people
to live with more dignity
I don't think it can be explained in a few words
Hello, Chen Qiushui What did you come back for?
Get away as fast as you can!
What happened?
The military searched the school by surprise
Xu Defu, Wang Qingmin, and several other people were taken away
Your name is on the list You are not aware?
Get going! There is still time
I should take my stuff
Listen to this!
I told you not to befriend him
You didn't listen
I said that it was not safe to marry my daughter to an unreliable man like this
And you wouldn't have it
Are you happy now?
Want to get engaged?
Go ahead now!
Give him the ring
so that he can pay for the bullet for his own execution
Woman! You don't need to be so mean!
Listen, listen! Listen for yourselves
Sister I am so afraid
Biyun!
What are you doing?
Mother, let me pass
Biyun!
I won't allow you to let him in
You are not to let him in
You have to allow me to go out
You are not going to open the gate for him
Do you have any idea what time it is now?
What did you come here for?
Biyun I
It is pure anarchy out there on the streets
get away fast!
Get away!
You are going to regret it
How do you mean?
He
He asked me bring this to you
Your ID
Your commander went to me to have his bad tooth extracted
After the war,
I have pulled out hundreds of teeth for soldiers
The largest one looked like half a chalk
Thanks
Hurry!
Where is Qiushui?
Drive Follow me
You have five minutes
Qiushui! Coming
Don't cry There's no time What you have to say, say it
I don't want you to go
I want to go with you
Wait for me
I will be back safe and sound
I will be back for you and for my mother
She brought me up
I have not had the chance to pay her back
I even don't have the chance to say good-bye
She has preparations for our engagement
and is waiting for me to go back to get her
When the disorder is over,
please go and tell her
that I am alive
and doing well
I won't make her feel ashamed to have such a son
Don't worry
I will take care of your mother
She is also my mother
Biyun!
Qiushui!
I'll be waiting for you for ever
If you don't come back,
I'll go looking for you
Wait for me!
I will
Look at this book when you are homesick
The teacher said I did very well on the test
When the Art School of Hangzhou mails me the admission notice
I'll go to the mainland the latest in the fall
Take this pen Write to me with it
Dad says that it is pretty cold over there in the mainland
Put this on when it is windy
Close your eyes
Do you like it?
I don't have anything to give you
I have nothing with me now
It doesn't matter
Remember, today is our engagement day
I will remember If I don't,
that means I am dead
Don't say that Don't say that
Have you talked enough?
I checked with Mr Du your Dean
He says that your great grandfather came from the mainland
I had no idea that you are a left-wing activist
Thanks for your kindness and support all this while
I won't shake hands with you
Let's go
Biyun!
Qiushui!
Biyun!
Qiushui!
Biyun!
Qiushui!
Hold on a second
I am in Taibei
I cannot be quiet This is Little Taibei in Shanghai
Everything here makes you think you are in Taibei even more so than Taibei itself
Auntie don't hang up
Listen, please
I know You don't like discussing the past
But I really want to know
That's not my problem Auntie
That's your problem There's no point for you to keep it to yourself,
and to keep torturing yourself with it
I am ignorant about love
You have the obligation to enlighten me
All right Auntie Here is my question
When you saw him for the first time
You are ignorant?! What then does this make us?
We are loafers who eat a lot and do no work
Well well, can we talk business?
Which one of you know
the cost for holding a small exhibition in Shanghai?
Why? Are you tired of writing
and thinking of becoming a painter?
Auntie is holding an exhibition in New York
The next stop is Taibei and then it goes to Shanghai
Is it viable?
Everything is viable
when money paves the way
Look for this guy for me
I need to know how to contact him
Either by phone or by e-mail
Chen Kunlun
Who is he?
Don't touch it
Give it to me, please
Thank you
Hey: Young man, long time no see
I have been in Hong Kong
Studying or gambling on horses?
I inherited my father's tea company
Have you ever thought of changing your position?
You cannot be standing here all the time
You could climb up the tree
Or you could sit up there atop the wall
I like it here
I see nothing here for you to like
If you love her then go after her
It doesn't make sense to fix your eye on the windows
I wish I could see her
She went to the country Another day perhaps
Bingyan's pastry shop makes wonderful pancakes
I know
I ordered 280 for the wedding
Yes, you told me
Bingyan was so excited
He asked "How could the bride have so many relatives?"
We don't have that many relatives But my father has a huge company of fellow drinkers
Now that Qiushui is gone
I told Bingyan to cancel my order
He was in tears when he heard that
It was a big sum of money that he could have made
You shouldn't come so often It is pretty hard to be a school teacher
The school is on vacation
I can stay longer this time
to keep you company
Try this
Biyun
I
Mother
Please do as I ask
and put the wedding ring on my finger for Qiushui
Biingyan told me
that Qiushui is
gone for good and
won't ever come back
I don't care
He wears my ring
But I have nothing on my finger
There is a piece of cloth in my wardrobe
The pattern may be out-of-date
If you don't dislike it
take it to the tailor and make yourself a jacket
Child,
don't be stubborn and waste your life
You can be my daughter
No
I want to wait for Qiushui

500 ml, type B
Wang Jindi, Division 83
We ran into an air raid
Hey that's all right It is a small piece of shell, no bigger than your finger nail
Ouch!
It's killing me!
Be gentle!
Nurse, please be gentle
Doctor Xiu
Yes? Are you all right?
I'm fine
Hello, your name is?
Are you Doctor Xiu?
Hey I am speaking to you
Don't be silly
What are you doing?
You should know
I was dying of pain the other day
And you beat me
I know for sure It must be you
I can tell from your cold eyes
You are from Division 83?
I am Wang Jindi,
medical assistant from Division 83 headquarter
My revolutionary salute to Comrade Doctor Xiu of the Army's field hospital
My salute to the short-haired tomboy with large eyes given to tears
How is wound?
Better
Hey!
What is this?
A little gift
You are going like it I guaranty it
Rice!
I haven't seen rice for more than a year
No rush Wait a second Now, help me open it
OK Put on lid
You are from Taiwan
Where did you hear it?
At the medical unit I went there to get my wound redressed
They were all amazed at the stitches
"How neat!" they said, "was it done by the Taiwanese doctor at the Army hospital?
Hey go slow slow
Thanks for your giftl
You people from Shanghai are really good cooks
I never knew that rice porridge could be so delicious
But according to my co-workers at the medical unit
people from Shanghai are fussy and delicate
Why?
Because they see me brush my teeth twice a day
I would say it's a good habit to keep
Don't let them bother you
I can not agree more What's wrong with being from Shanghai?
Why you are from Taiwan and I can see that you are also fond of brushing your teeth
You are right, absolutely right
You people from Shanghai are fond of rice
so are we who are from Taiwan
A friend of mine in Taiwan once said to me:
If a person has good teeth that means
that he has a good heart
So we should go on brushing our teeth, twice a day
Doctor Xu
Jindi Wang Hua
What brought you here?
The Cultural Troupe happened to be assigned here
I didn't expect to see you
Ouch!
You are wounded!
A shell made a little scratch
Is it bad?
No It is healing pretty fast
Well I am on nmy way to see someone who is badly wounded
We should meet to catch up in the evening
Everyone has been asking about you
See you in the evening
See you
Doctor Xu Doctor Xu
Shut it Who is it?
Me Why didn't you tell me that you were getting transferred?
I was just notified
Where to?
The POW Center
Are you going to take care of those Americans?
Yes, because I speak English
Hey what are you looking for?
Your are violating air defense regulations and you can be arrested
What did you lose? Is it a button? Your pen? Or your tooth-brush?
Well it has some connection with tooth-brush
What?
I lost one of my front teeth
Is it true? Let me take a look
You cheat!
Xu Qiuyun
Well?
I've got this feeling
that you are a good man
What about me makes me feel that way?
Everything about you
I would like you to write to me
If there is no mail service, you can ask people to bring the letter to me
Division 83 Headquarters medical unit Wang Jindi
This is how you write the character "di" in my name
You write to me first, and I will know the return address
I don't think it will work
We will both be very busy
Why should we bother to write?
I like you
Xu Qiuyun!
Brother brother!
Please hold this for me Hi, Brother!
Hi, Comrade Hi
Xu Qiuyun Brother!
Did you hear me call? Why didn't you respond?
Jindi
I am mad I kept calling you for so long and you haven't said a word
Where are you going?
Shijiazhuang And you?
I think we are heading for Nanjing But it might be Wuhan
Why haven't you written?
I did
Only two letters
I was too busy Look out!
Take these with you
That's enough
Take them!
That's more than enough
Use this one to
Watch!
Use this one to write to me
I know Be careful!
Where is yours?
My what?
Yours
Oh, I see, you mean my pen
Don't take my pen
Give me back my pen I can leave you my binoculars to remember me by
Please, my pen, give it back to me
I am going to write you with it
Take good care of it Use only pure blue ink don't use black blue
Are you Mr Xue Zilu?
Yes, I am
Mr Wang asks you to come in
Me?
If I had a second daughter I would marry her to you
How is your business?
It is OK
Mrs Wang is not home?
She emigrated
I will be emigrating soon
How about Biyun? Is she going too?
I won't have stayed this long if she is willing to go
Well there are some advantages in staying here
How about her rheumatism?
It comes and goes
I don't actually worry about that
She is still single?
That's it She is of such an unbending mind
that she doggedly pursues whatever she first decided on and never looks back
To find out Chen Qiushui's whereabouts
she has raked almost all the jails in Taiwan
Her words are "If he is alive I want to see the person, and if dead, I want to see the body"
Where could you find the body?
How can one be sure that it was not thrown into the sea and eaten up by fish?
Mr Xue may I ask you a question?
Please
If Biyun stays this way, would you come again?
As long as she is waiting for Chen Qiushui, I am sure I will come
Why?
If she waits for someone who is never to come
I see my opportunity there
Miss, were you caught in the rain?
It was OK It didn't rain very hard
Pay no attention to her attitude
How are you?
You came from Hong Kong?
Yes
I see you have grown a beard
I am now Taiwan Sugar Company's representative in Hong Kong I just came back from work
Please sit down
Mr Xue is now a successful man
Give me your bottle
I didn't drink today
I swear
Ah Mei
Yes, Miss?
Put it away
I need to pack and take off soon
You are going to Xiluo again?
No I am going to Taidong to see a friend
She is going to get someone to dig up dead bodies for her again
Dad! Don't speak like that ever again!
What's wrong?
Oh, I am sorry
Ah Mei! Get some cotton balls
Douse the forehead with cold water
It happened to one of my students in the class
It helps a lot to douse the forehead
Dad, please! Stop drinking You are alcoholic now
I'll be back tomorrow
Your are more drunk than I am
All your effort is in vain
You are the one who should wake up
This friend of mine is a businessman based in Japan
Some of his business is with the mainland
I would like to speak to him and ask him to help
Bye
Biyun
In Hong Kong I also have a few friends with close connections in the mainland
Whatever I can do whatever you need me to do,
let me know and I'll try my best
Thank you
We'll talk again
Biyun!
It is raining
I know
Your legs, be careful
Thanks
Are you sure it is Class '47?
It was 1947
Oh, it should be the 36th year of the Republic of China
You are from Taiwan?
Well here are the alumni rolls for classes '47 and '48 Take a look
I am an old-timer in this college
I worked here when it was still called the National Art School of Hangzhou
But I don't recall a woman student from Taiwan
Comrade Xu I looked through all registration cards and have found no such person
Excuse me but could you tell me the way to the Department of Medincine?
Yes Go to the second floor, turn left It is the third classroom
Who else do you have to talk with, if not with me?
Do you think you can
fly back to Taiwan to your mother?
Or to that Wang Biyun?
When was the last time you cleaned your windows?
Dirty window panes make
a tidy and clean room look dubious
How are your parents? In good health?
They are fine They are too healthy to leave me alone and keep fixing dates for me
I am supposed to be on vacation But they exhausted me with meeting men
Is there anyone that you like?
Out of question Men are all the same if you meet them through fixed dates
Give it to me
Do you remember Cui on the medical unit?
The one with big braids
She had twins How envied is she among her friends!
Don't be too picky
Get married if the man is OK
If you feel exhausted your parents should feel even more so
I am in no rush
Why? You have passed your thirtieth birthday
Stop talking about me How about you?
I am a special case
If you can wait so can I
Well well, Xu, What a banquet!
Yes A relative of mine has come to visit
I am going to talk to your leader
What for?
Your health is not good enough for the highland
Don't be silly!
I am going to tell them
that my brother is from the South and doesn't hold up well in cold weather
And in the Korea War
his foot got frost bitten
Don't be like this
Don't worry
My research has to do with frostbite
I can take advantage of my work in highland areas
Moreover, I am single and will find it much easier than
those who have families My case is
You have no one that cares for you, and no one that you care for
That makes you the best candidate!
Jindi, don't be like this
You are going to a cold place very, very cold
I will ask my mother to make a blanket for you, a thick one
Don't
What else do you need?
I don't want you to go!
Don't go, please
(Tibetan) Please make way for us Make way for us please
Director Xu is back
How are you Director Xu?
Right Director
Someone was looking for you a women Her name was Wang Biyun
Who did you say?
Wang Biyun
Director Xu!
You are not needed here Not at all!
What sense does it make for a nurse like you
to come all the way here?
What the hell are you up to?
It is buttered tea have some It may help reduce the altitude sickness
I am not simply a nurse
What are you then?
I am now the head nurse at the Xigaze Hospital
Head nurse is it?
Oh! It is so hot I was nearly killed
Ha ha! Head nurse,
do you have your parents' approval?
My parents' approval?
If I had to have it
I won't have been able to join the Liberation Army
when it took over Shanghai and to go to the South
If I had not joined up and gone to the South, I wouldn't have gone to Korea
If I had not gone to Korea I would not have come to know you
If I had not come to know you, what would have made me
sit in this room?
You have taken up smoking?
I have no addiction
Just have a puff occasionally, to kill the boredom
Jindi, when we were getting over Mount Zheduo on our way back this time,
I have changed my name
From now on call me
Wang Biyun
How did you mean?
What 's the problem with your name? What made you want to change it?
I had no alternative In your heart you have
only Wang Biyun
You have been waiting for her all these years
My hope is
that you won't find her till the day of your death
I did this out of compassion
From now on
you don't have to wait
You don't have to torture yourself any more
