Democracy, is derived from the Greek "demos"
Meaning that the people
Literally..
mean the people rule,
Is in accordance with the principle of equality of majority rule
Co-management of state affairs.
I remember that Abraham Lincoln once said,
He said,
"of the people, by the people, for the people"
The idea warms my heart, a truly democratic country with a
genuine people's state
Professor Yang,
Will China ever have such a day?
I know that
the day is drawing near,
though I doubt I will live to see it,
But I believe you will.
Professor Yang! Professor Yang!

Do you know what Detective Smith told me?
The Ching court sent Assassins with guns
Have you ever told me this?
Have you ever mentioned it?
I am a businessman,

You are a revolutionary.
From the first penny you donated,
you have become a revolutionary.
Asking me to teach Chong Kwong was your own choice
Investing in the Revolution, was your own choice
No one has ever forced you
You know it is the right thing to do
Why can't your son be involved?
You're crazy.
I tell you again,
Let me tell you one more time.

The Ching government will at any cost get rid of Sun Yat-sen
My boss has been ordered by London not to intervene
The day after tomorrow, we could all die
You can not forget you are a businessman
You also do not forget
You are a Chinese
Well said

Boss Li

Master Liu
Don't you want to know who you're protecting?
Boss Li
Is it wrong for a man to fall in love with a woman?
In a world with so many women
Why choose to fall for your father's woman?
Smelly Tofu
Smelly tofu
Brother, you have great skill.
I have seen you

That is my home
I told you, I want nothing to do with you
I ask you not to disturb my family again
Do not step into my life again
Is that all?
Boss. Let me join in too.
I grew up fighting in the streets.
I've got many scars, nothing to fear.
Ah See, it's a very dangerous mission
I just want you to be safe
Very well
Boss
Will you do me a favor?
I fancy Miss Kim Lee over at Da Yu Gai for years
But I am too shy to ask her out.
Will you please ask her for me?
Alright.
Alright

U-turn
Where to?
Da Yu Gai
Sure!
You need a picture, sir?
I want to talk about that girl of yours

He's kind-hearted and honest
Take this deposit first, I'll send the rest round later,
Don't play jokes with me
Brother

This can be considered our good fortune
Kim Lee pour some tea for boss Li
Boss Li you choose a day for it

How the specific arrangements are to be made
Master Li, Master Li....
Let's take a family portrait.
1, 2, 3
Old Master
Father
Where is he?
Chong Kwong, it's not safe outside
Do not go out for the next two days
Okay
Eat dinner
You sat here the whole day.
You did not eat, drink, do not even speak
Your stomach is bad,
Student was very worried about it
This is your favorite drink, Fen wine
Student specially brought to you from Shanxi
After you feed me, you want me to die of poisoning?
How could think such a thing?
You are my mentor, my tutor
Student remembers teacher for life like a parent
You speak at last
As your mentor you should let me out
Let you go out to give me more trouble.
Yen Xiao Kwo
Do you remember the time you graduated?
I'll gave you these comments...
Excellent homework
but dull and stupid mind
will never amount to much.
You like to tease your students
Do you think I am a dog?
You think I only respect the imprerial court orders
Student is not like that
Student wants to ask
Countries suffered from bullying
But ultimately what did the foreign devils give you
In addition to years of chaos
In addition to what people outside of times of hardship
Natural rights, all men are created equal
Why are some people born to be masters
labeled the name, the Son of Heaven?
Others are born into submission
Imperial power is heaven-sent, can never be questioned.
That's why we need to change,
Why it is necessary to establish a democratic China
Xiao Kwo, you accepted Western-style education
Why don't you want to open your eyes and take a look at our nation
In this world, more than you imagined
Student is affected by these Western-style education
I've opened my eyes wide and have seen
Foreigners are all wild ambition
You will be alone,
You will be able to save China
Mr....
You are just a teacher, you will never do great deeds
The sight of blood puts fear in you.
Is this your revolutionary courage?
If we allow you to succeed the country will certainly fail
I do not want kill you, nor do not want to see you any more
I need 100 silver trade dollars
to bury my father and the others.
Bring the money
Yes
I am hungry.
More rice.
Yes.
I would like to see your friend
My father died because of him
When your father died
my friend also went missing.
He went to your father looking for help.
What my father was going to do, I'll do it.
Tomorrow morning 9:00, Mr. Sun will arrive at Star Ferry pier
at least a thousand people will be there
There is bound to be an ambush
Coolies, business men, travelers,
Civilian, beggars,
Quite a mixed crowd
Assassins will be hiding among them
We make sure at every step
But
Our best protection on the pier will be Green Giant
Foreigners will dare not fight such a man.
Master
they are my brothers, they can run faster than me.
We're fighting an invisible enemy
There must be a man on the roof with a megaphone
I'll do it
Act as lookout on the top of the building
The route tomorrow is
Fu Jen Catholic Literary Society, the Church
Finally, back here to the Daily post.
Note that these three areas must be scrutinized
Understand
The limited manpower we have
From Queen's Road to the Fu Jen Catholic Literary Society
We count on you both to protect the main road
Remember watch closely
Yesterday, Tan told me
there are 3 shops on Queen's Road
rented out on the same day
As for the people behind it, nobody knows who
Therefore, after here, here and here
We must be able to adapt fast, anything can happen
Please forgive us, Sir, we are late.
Please forgive us we arrived late.
Thank you
For you
Ah See
Do you know who you protect tomorrow?
As long as it makes the boss happy
This book was written by that man
Young master often reads it.
You read to me
When I was young I studied medicine, after I switched from medicine to politics
Vowed to subvert the rights of the Manchu people
When I left Hong Kong,
I have matured, and thought much.
The purpose of revolution is to save The purpose of medicine is also to save
No need to run, we need to save others
Being a doctor can only rescue a handful of people
A revolution is able to save millions of Chinese
260 years we suffered under Manchu tyranny
China is in deep sleep
The Manchu government corrupt,
So dark is the government
Can only bring disaster to the people in the end
Today, the revolutionary wave has begun Some people have progressed in thinking open
We need courage to take this opportunity to to overthrow the Manchu government
and establish a genuine people's country
Fan the revolutionary flame
I must die with honor
After millions of years, the people
can see the need of a revolution
No going back to the old ways
For millions of people, we will not grief in an abyss of suffering
For millions of people, who are displaced from their homes
When I was driven out, I went to the south,
First I went to Southern Shaolin, then further south,
then I came to Hong Kong,
I could go no further, or I'd be in the ocean
Eat tofu
Sintky tofu
Stinky tofu, for you
There's not a single flower
Stinky tofu, for you
Thank you, thank you
You are a monk
Come, sit down.
Tomorrow you will show us your martial arts?
Actually, I've never used kungfu in real life
I do not know if my kungfu will work
One thing I know, after tomorrow
I can go back to the Shaolin Temple
Do not go yet, the day after tomorrow I'm getting married
Really
So you have to come to my wedding
Very well
Opera girl, will you come?
After tomorrow
I'll take dad back home
Not going anywhere else.
Eat
Come eat
Vegetables are here
smells good
Eat dinner
Old Master
Smith sent this.
Master Liu
I have long not been a son of Liu
My father told me before he died
A man, a businessman
Principles
But tomorrow
Li Yu Tang is a big liar
Do you know what is the hardest thing in life?
to see your loved ones die.
Fall in love with a woman you should not love
My father was mad at me, but a woman was put in front of me
That day was a dark day
now every day is a living hell
This is most bitter life
The value of a woman
For tomorrow's mission
I'm ready
Thank you, Mr. Li
Tomorrow I can be free
What do you want?
What is it?
I need a favor
You must be joking, what can I do?
Mrs. Li
You have to help me
You provided me good kitchen to eat for 8 years
Alright, I'll help you. How much money?
Tomorrow, help me to protect a person.
The longer you keep him safe, the more you can earn.
Who is it? As long as there money, I'll do it.
Li Yu Tang
You must be joking.
You want me go to protect your lover!
Shen Chung Yang
Please leave my house immediately
Can you for once do a decent thing with your life?
do something with dignity
Out!
You have to do it.
Out!
He is the father of your daughter
Do you know do you have a daughter?
I been with you 8 years, you gambled for 8 years.
Had I ever left you?
Do I ask you for money, for luxury?
I stayed with you.
I might have been crazy, but I was patient.
because I loved you.
But was pregnant, I had a child.
I cannot let my daughter suffer with me.
I want to find her a responsible father
a responsible father figure.
Come, you come.
You see, your daughter down there
After she grows up, what shall I tell her?
How do I tell her?
Who's her father?
If you are willing to go tomorrow
When she grows up, I'll tell her
Her father's called the Shen Chung Yang
Stop.
Go.
Where are the guns?
Fool!
I told you to get me guns from the police station.
Money, money, is this what you want?
You fool.
Old Master, you're back
Old Master
Mr. Chen
Tomorrow's plans need to change
In order to protect the security of Sun Yat-sen
I want to find him a stand-in
You want to use someone as bait?
Enemy is hiding in the dark, we are in the open.
We have no better option, no other way.
No, absolutely not.
Sun Yat-sen has not been home for long.
Do you think he want someone else to see his mother on his behalf?
He sacrificed that.
Revolution are not just about money,
or printing a newspaper issue, a leaflet or two
Li Yu Tang
A revolution is also about bleeding to death
To sacrifice
From the day, I follow the Sun Yat-Sen
I do not know if I'd return alive
But I was ready to sacrifice every day
The revolution is to use the sacrifices of our generation
in exchange for the well-being of your son's generation
Enough
I'm just a businessman
The one who gets the draw
will be Mr. Sun's double tomorrow
and travel the last section of the road with me
Regardless of how many people we sacrifice
We must hold on for one hour
The longer we hold
Mr. Sun will have more time to
Meet with 13 representatives and plan a coordinated uprising
In this one hour
the hopes of 400 million of our fellow people depend on it,
Who is the chosen one?
Who?
No, no... cannot be.
Why did you come?
You all have to re-draw.
Why? Because I am the son of Li Yu Tang?
You do not understand...
I promised your father you wouldn't be included.
Uncle Chen, a revolution is part of history.
The whole of China is drawn into it, and I will be part of it.
You are the only child,
Only son...
The purpose of our revolution
is to oppose the old feudal beliefs
The purpose of the revolution is so that everyone is equal
I cannot die, then why can they?
If it's because I am the son of Li Yu Tang
and you want a re-draw
Then you tell that to them!
Chong Kwong
I...
I can't bring myself to do this.
I...
General, the guns are here.
Clear about what to do tomorrow?
All clear.
Thank you, thank you
With this foreign gun, we will
eliminate Dr. Sun, the thief.
Xiao Bai, you have worked hard.
Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun,
Mr. Sun is here.
