No matter how curious you are to this story
and how desired you are to look into it
You shouldn't go to the deserted
Because it does not belong to our world
and also not belong to me at all
In the year 2002, because of the song "sorry I love you"
I have won...
the grand prize on songwriting
I became famous suddenly
I was successful finally
and
happy
I got the whole world seemingly
But
but from then on
I couldn't write a new song any more
that could replace
and surpass the song "sorry I love you"
It became my only representative work
Until one day
I found the hyperlink in my blog
The deserted
a mysterious old town for thousands years
is around by the golden flower sea
and the green bamboo forest
Every house here is in black and white
In the deserted village inn
there is an old bed of Ming dynasty
You can hear Yanzhi's song when you lie on it
The song is too beautiful to be described
I decide to look for the deserted
to look for the song of Yanzhi in the legend
He Ying what about splitting up
I am sorry
Thanks for loving me please take care of yourself
Excuse me
How can I get to the deserted inn?
This is the deserted that is said
There are no people here
but just houses, little bridges and trees
and also the inspiration
Who do you want?
I am the guest booking on the internet
Hi, I'm Meng Fan Are you Ouyang?
Yes, it's me
You are here You must be tired
Here, give me the bag
Thank you
Come in, please
We got 24 hours hot water
Only the bathroom and dining room are shared
But in this season no much guests
It's getting cold
Those drawers love spring and autumn here
This way, be careful
Watch your step
We all eat the country food
I wonder if it's ok for you
Watch out the doorsill
But the guests eating the meal by Xiaozhi
all can't forget it
Ah Xiaozhi is my wife
Your room is over there
While is there a bed in my room?
of course
I mean Yanzhi's bed
Please go to bed earlier today
If you need anything, please tell me, ok?
Xiaozhi and I are in the front yard
Thank you
Sorry, no smoking here
After we split up
you could not run out of my curse
It was once a village in a vacuum
Now young men all go outside for living
Only few old people and children left
The whole village seems in the sleep
as if it has never waked up
I'm sure the deserted village is lonely
It will bring me the inspiration
and will completely change my life
Really, it's you
Just now
I went to the hill to collect herb
When I passed by
I saw you went into the ancestral shrine
Is your wife sick?
No, as she was used to be sick
I always took the herb on the hill for her
Have a smell, please
Thank you
If you take it for a long time
it does better for insomnia
You love your wife very much
Women deserve it, don't they?
Did you have a good sleep last night?
Not bad
While did you hear the song of Yanzhi?
The song of Yanzhi
It is said that
the original master of this house was Yanzhi
That year the government had started the war
forced Yanzhi's husband to join the troops
while leaving the couple had made a promise
At the Chung Yeung Festival of three years later
the husband would reunite with his wife
If not
At the Chung Yeung night
they would die for the love
Since that for three years
Yanzhi had waited for her husband every day
She had sung a song as well
That is said the meaning of the song
couldn't be understood except the couple
At the Chung Yeung night of three years later
after the appointed time
Yanzhi had tied the silk on the roof beam
Suddenly she had heard
the sound of knocking the door continuously
That was her husband coming back with no sign
Yanzhi had been so surprised
Although her husband had looked very tired
they still had spent
the happy time for several nights
In the legend the bed which you are sleeping
is the one Yanzhi and her husband had left
A few days later
as Yanzhi had sung the song for her husband
her husband had suddenly run out
and disappeared in the bamboo forest
That was because her husband
in order to meet Yanzhi at the Chung Yeung night
had headed to the troops on purpose
He died for fulfilling the promise
Following the sound of Yanzhi's song
the husband who had already been a ghost
had found the way home
From that time, in the bamboo forest
Yanzhi had sung that secret song every night
waiting for her husband to come back
Who is it?
- You, you - what do you want?
My, my wife just, she just is Xiaozhi
She saw you, she has seen you just now
She likes you
She said that she loved the song you singing
She asked me to invite you having a drink
She said that she got no guts to invite you
so that let me do it
You, you are such a great singer
No, I'm a song writer
But just now, when I came back home
she was very exciting
She loves your song
named as "sorry I love you" specially
I couldn't learn it well, I just couldn't
Come on let's go for drinking
I am busy
Sorry, I've disturbed you
Then go ahead
She hasn't been so happy for a long time
How do you do?
Morning Mr. Ouyang
Mr. Ouyang
I'm sorry, this is for Xiaozhi
Is this that song of yours?
No, it's the sample of my new song
Thank you, I thank you for Xiaozhi
It's ok
But we have had a quarrel last night
She gone back to her parent's place
Why is that?
Don't worry. Please sit down
Don't you believe
She is going to be back in three days
At the first time I met Xiaozhi
I went to her parent's home at next day
On the 29th of that year in lunar calendar
I couldn't get the train ticket
so I decided to get home by a motorbike
It was coincident that in my school
one of my work mates' sister
was my hometown mate
He wanted me to send something for her
When I first saw Xiaozhi
her face turned red without saying any words
At that time
She just joined the county theatrical troupe
as a player of the Chinese zither
She said that she got no money to get home
I said that we were on the same way home
I could send you home
The weather of that year was so different
It was in February
but the rape flowers bloomed everywhere
As soon as I entered in the door of her home
Xiaozhi's parent saw me as the
Because there is a custom in my hometown
On the Chinese new year eve
if a man who enters a girl's home with her
he would be seen as the son-in-law
I really envy you
In spite of quarrelling sometimes
you two still love deeply with no doubts
Just like Yanzhi
How about you? Got many women?
No
No?
Broken
Why?
Too tired
I got lots of works to do now
My health is not that well
Anyway I am too tired
to play the game in love any more
- Game? - Yes
When you trade love too seriously
you got hurt
But if you don't have love
how could you write so nice songs?
Xiaozhi really loves your songs
Stop it
That song is out of the day already
It's trash
Sorry, I got to go
Here, your room is in this way
Ah
What are you doing here?
I was scared in the room with myself
I couldn't fall in sleep
Are you the guest this morning?
I rang you, but you didn't answer
Don't worry
I am not coming for killing you
I really missed you
We haven't met for two years
I feel cold
Morning
Last night did you see
those music notes and my pen?
Are you going to marry?
Marry? Who dose say it?
That girl yesterday she went into your room
She is my girlfriend
None of your business
I said no smoking
You shouldn't always smoke like this
You are still so young
If a couple has slept on that bed
then they should live together forever
otherwise the curse of Yanzhi will work
I show you around
Sir
I am Mr Feng, the boss of this shop
You are so interested in the antiques
don't you?
Just have a look
I am interested in the legend about Yanzhi
Yanzhi
Yanzhi I have a copy
It's a treasure
I never show it to people at will
Do you want to have a look?
It is a copy of an inscription on a steel
About the legend of Yanzhi
we have many kinds of versions
But I think it is the most trust-able one
Because the died men never lie
At the night on Chung Yeung
Yanzhi couldn't saw her husband
Then she committed suicide with her promise
However her husband
survived in the war
He married and had baby in other town
So Yanzhi's soul has never gone
It is the soul with rancor
She wanted to emerge at the old place
and sang the song to wait for his backing
However there is just half of the copy
which is the front half
About her story only half is true
The real ending no one knows
Have you heard the legend of Yanzhi's bed?
The legend of that bed is real
People sleeping on it could hear Yanzhi
What's wrong with you?
Ah, You must live in Ouyang's inn
He bought this house several years ago
We have a legend here
If the new married couple sleeps on this bed
they would never separate
and would love each other forever
If the unmarried couple
sleeps on this bed
they will only marry with each other
If someone who is not concentrated on
and unfaithful in love sleeps on this bed
Yanzhi's soul will catch him
Catching
After all it's just a legend
Ouyang is so weird
No one has seen this bed in the room
Haven't you seen it?
Thank you
When are you about going back?
Later
What's the matter?
Nothing
What do you want to say?
Tell me do you fall in love with another woman
when you stay with me
you are always absent-minded
The legend of that bed
I knew it already
What?
- Who did tell you? - Ouyang
Anything else he said to you?
I can't believe you do trust him.
Say something
He Ying
He Ying, I'm talking to you.
I'm sorry
Now I just want to make a song
only belonging to myself
I can't write anything at all now
I am sick. I am sick
Sick?
Your problem is you are so selfish
You are my whole world. But how about you?
Music is all for you
My love to you is just an added musical note
Stop it, please
No where to run away
I said stop it
You just love yourself
What are you doing here?
Why did you tell her the legend about the bed?
What's right you have
to spy on and control others' life?
I didn't tell her anything
I just said to her
your boyfriend doesn't really love you
leave him
You talk nonsense
I'm sorry
Recently I got too much illusion
I think I am really crazy
I am seeing many people of Ming dynasty
I am driving nuts
What's the illusion
In our deserted
lots of people come here to shoot films
She's gone
What I want now
is just the music, music and music
What I want now is just a song
A song belongs to myself
If can
I'd like to exchange with you by anything
Your wife and you
Also the love in your entire life
Do you want?
If you want
take the rest life of Xiaozhi and me
I have once left Xiaozhi for fifteen years
At that time
I taught students in the middle school
I didn't want to spend my whole life
on a woman
and a small city can't be seeing on the map
I desired to see this world
I met another woman
She could help me to realize my dream
I cheated Xiaozhi that
there was a good opportunity to study
but only singles could go there
We could only do the fake divorce
After I achieved the goal
we could remarry later
then got her back
Xiaozhi agreed
On that morning
when we finished our "divorce"
Xiaozhi said she was hungry
We entered a small restaurant
I dared not raise my head
Xiaozhi
Salty
I remembered giving my beeper to Xiaozhi
I dared not write to Xiaozhi
I was afraid to hear anything about her
no matter what about her
marriage
divorce
going abroad
coming back
earning money
loss
Until one day
I smelled a smell of perfume
The smell reminded me
the life in that small city
It was a kind of flower in my hometown
It had a strange smell
It was Xiaozhi liked best
All memories about Xiaozhi had come back
including her eyes, her smell
her voice, almost everything about her
According to the memory
I even remembered before I left
I gave the number of my beeper to Xiaozhi
the number has been in my heart for fifty years
I don't know
how long I have been waiting for her
I get the inspiration again
I think of a new song
My head is filled with
I, I, I can't do anything now
He doesn't appear
and doesn't answer the phone
I order many persons to watch him here
If he didn't appear again
I would call the police
Then on the music awards show of this year
We will become the most newsworthy figures
Tell me the truth...
where he went
What's wrong?
They are all burning
Unless I clean my heart first
the new love will not come into my heart
Thank you for witnessing
Collecting the cigarette cases
is his favorite hobby
So it has been my favorite hobby
no matter where I have seen them
I have wanted to have them
including 2 years in university
3 years after graduation
and 2 years love him secretly
Is that crazy?
Once I told him
when I didn't love him
I wouldn't collect the cases for him any more
Don't Don't Don't
What are you doing! Don't. They are burning
Mr. Ouyang?
Mr. Ouyang
What's this?
Don't you know no smoking here?
I have told you since you came here
This house has putrefied
Xiaozhi doesn't like the smell of smoking
I had given up smoking for her
for 10 years, the whole 10 years!
You damned artists musicians
Without nicotine
you can't cheat...
and confuse others, right?
Sorry
the number you are calling is out of serving
Please wait a moment.
The medicine is ready
Just take it
- No, I don't want to take it - Take care please
No No No
So take it later
Don't move. Don't move
My leg!
What's wrong?
Nothing, nothing
The bone didn't get hurt
so nothing serious
I can walk by myself
No, you can't
You are so weak
you have been sleepless these days
How do you know this?
Xiaozhi told me that
She knows everything
They are the flowers that Xiaozhi likes best
I put them on your bed to accompany you
but the flowers cry in the night
Once they cry
you will be excited and feel fantastic
You can see
another world
Maybe Xiaozhi never leaves me
She only has one man... me
She will not leave me
She will wait for me
She has waited for me for 15 years
15 years
Later we are together again
Soon
we would have a baby
We would hold a great wedding
but before the wedding Xiaozhi returned home only
She said she wanted to fetch our love pledge
That day it blew strong wind suddenly
Xiaozhi
I wrote a song for you and Xiaozhi
Because your story gave me the inspiration
I wrote the song
The lyrics have also been finished
They are roughly like this
When a tree catches fire
the fire becomes beautiful clothes
They could die for love with no doubt
by dancing together in the wind
just like this
What about the tune?
The tune just has a little left
just a little
It's in my room
I think I can finish it tonight
I take it for you
No No No
I'll cook delicious dishes for you tonight
I've got the best Sant-Emilion
We can enjoy this song together
I'll tell Xiaozhi now
No, no
Mr. Ouyang, the magpie is chattering
The knocker of the door is pretty good
I've heard that you have collected many good things
Don't you know me?
You once bought things in my shop
You have guests, right?
No, just two students
They just passed by crashed and leaved already
I also passed by here
The stone carving behind you
Is it newly collected?
Can I have a look at it?
I'm sorry
Xiaozhi! Xiaozhi!
Ah!
How did you fall down?
It is snowing and so cold outside
I came into your room
I saw many photos of myself
and magazines in it
Have you always tried to know me?
Can't be said like that
About 3 years ago
I happened to see an interview of you
You took a guitar and looked very handsome
It is easy to find out your information
I know that
you like going to desolate places
to look for folk songs and your inspiration
Actually there is no deserted village inn
and no legend about Yanzhi
Don't say this about Yanzhi
and you will be punished
The legend of Yanzhi
is always here
But those who are not loyal to the love
will not meet her
The song that causes your success
"Sorry I love you"
Behind the sad tone
there must be a touching story, right?
In fact
the story is about He Ying and me
We don't get alone with each other
But after I become famous
she treats me differently
Don't you feel shamed
How can you say your girlfriend like this?
Is your heart red?
Every note you've written is full of blood
Of course, you are a talent
How long did it take you to finish it?
Several hours? Several days?
Several months? or Several years?
It is too long to remember
We know music better than you
Such gifted hands of playing music
Idiot!
You broken my statue
I made another
Ah You are crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Ah
You are nuts
Let her go
Got painful?
You did?
Have you ever really loved this woman?
Have you?
No. Menteur
Lying. You are lying
You never love this woman
You never feel distressed for this woman
Your life, your music and your career
are all fake
Your song, the song of yours
It's fake, right? Whose is it?
Yes, I copied it. I did it
Ah
Then so what?
He Ying gave me that cigarette case
There were some music notes on it
When I was a senior
I was desired to be famous
I needed such a song
Yes, that song. Is that song yours?
Is it yours?
You cheated me to come here
just for revenging that song, right?
No No No
You've pretended to be supernatural beings
The notes in the bathroom
were all written by you
I'll return whatever you want, ok?
All for you
I will give you money if you want
- I want nothing - It's too late
I will give you all that you want
- Girl, you are so silly - Give all of these to you
You don't know at all
what his meaning is in this song
Just now he told me
why he wrote this song
that was because you loved
his money and fame
He never really loves you
Never Ever
He just loves himself and his reputation
Bullshit! I love her!
You are a devil and your life is fake!
All of those pictures
and statues of Xiaozhi
are all not true
including your emotion to Xiaozhi
it's also fake
You could cheat on her for your self's life
You could lie to her and leave her
And also those blogs they are all fake
All fake!
Maybe the story about you and Xiaozhi
is also not true
It just is for cheating on me
You are sick
You are a sick man
That song is ours
Xiaozhi really is my wife
When I first met Xiaozhi
I taught music course in a middle school
I was poor
but I still had some talent on music
Xiaozhi inspired me in music creating
We wrote the song together
< Tears of Yanzhi >
I wrote it down
and made it on a cigarette case by the way
This cigarette case
has become our token of love
That day
Xiaozhi just went for this cigarette case
The wind was so strong on her way home
Xiaozhi's hair stuck in
her scalp was even torn
Later I bought this house
Because in this house
there were our honeymoons
and the beautiful legend about Yanzhi
I thought Xiaozhi could come back
So I kept my words
I believed she was still alive
unless foothills disappearing
river water to dry up
thunder quaking in the winter
raining and snowing in the summer
the sky and the earth combined
I would never leave her
Therefore I have carved her statue
and spoken to her every day
But one day
I saw a man on TV called Meng Fan
He added some lyrics that profaned love
and then depending on my song
he became a prince of the Pop music
I asking you to come here
was for knowing why
you, you got this cigarette case
But I didn't have the chance to ask you
you broke my statue
Sorry
I am really sorry
When I copied that song
I didn't expect you would be so sad
I meant to write a song by myself
But I'm not talented
I just couldn't make it
Do you know?
As a musician
without any creativities
he would feel so hard
Since I copied your song
in every single second
I have never been happy
I have felt guilty all the time
I didn't have any courage
to admit what I had done
I've got sleepless almost every night
I wished that I'd never picked up your cigarette case
sorry?
I don't want to hear the lies
Tell me the truth
Tell me do you still love her
I do
Really?
This is the last time I am asking you
Have you ever loved her?
Is she more important than your fame
money and even the so-called career?
I love her
Really?
I do. I love her most
It is true. Ok, good.
No No Please
I want you to know the feeling of losing love
Xiaozhi is looking
Don't! Please kill me! Let me die!
It is nothing to do with He Ying
Please don't!
No No He Ying
No He Ying No
He Ying
I love you
I want to be with you forever
Ouyang came to his senses finally
Xiaozhi had already left him forever
and this world
He didn't kill us but left us alive
He decided to look for Xiaozhi in that world
He Ying and I left the deserted
with the song called < Fire Tree >
and the ancient sadness of Yanzhi
