Uncle Chang--
How long have this house been left vacant?
For more than a year already.
It's been vacant for so long, how come
no one is interested in renting it?
Well, it's a long story.
This place originally used to be a small temple.
It was partially burnt down 50 years ago by a big fire.
For so many years it had been left vacant.
I heard one of the brothers
was involved in a clash here more than 50 years ago.
The story goes, most of them perished and
the temple was also partly destroyed.
Well, the myth was something like that all along.
No one really knows what really happened in the beginning.
Why don't we have a look downstairs?
- Okay! Let's go, Uncle Chang. - C'mon, let's go!
- Over here! - Okay.
- Slowly! - Aiyah.
When the owner was still alive, this study was his favourite room.
Besides managing his business, he
liked to dabble in calligraphy and drawing.
Uncle Chang--
Most of the books here are rare.
It's quite difficult to find one now.
He collected all these books on his numerous business trips.
This Gingko trees is believed to be thousand of years old.
When the previous owner first took over this place,
the temple was in a state of dilapidation.
But the tree is still in pristine condition.
I think my wife has been mesmerised by this house.
Uncle Chang, this's place is what we've been looking for.
I want to rent it immediately.
It would be great if we can shift in tommorrow.
TITLE : ETERNAL BELOVED
I've already discussed with Ya-Ping.
She will spend a night here every week.
If you needed anythings, just asked her to bring along.
What you asked of her--
I doubt she'll have the free time
to come up here and be with me?
Ya Ping really have not changed her personality.
She's been like that since as a child.
Don't really knows what it meant to be worried.
What about you then?
What's on your mind then?
My worries--
Is thinking too much of you.
Hey, Uncle Chang it's you, morning.
So sorry to bother you so early in the morning, Mrs. Qin.
It's alright. Time for me to get up anyway.
Ya Ping asked me to leave you a message.
She's coming up this afternoon.
She asked you to brew tea and wait for her.
Okay! Fine.
Here's a letter from your husband.
Ya Ping asked me to pass it to you first.
- She's afraid you're waiting impatiently for this letter. - Thanks, Uncle Chang.
Why don't you come in and rest for awhile?
No, thanks.
I need to go into the forest to hunt for some wild meat.
It's taste best when flushed down with wine at night.
Okay, wish you all the best then.
- I'm leaving then. - Okay!
Dearest Xiao-yu,
One and half month had past since arriving
at the ancient city. I really miss you.
Although your letter arrived everyday,
and knowing that you're doing fine at home,
my fondness for you still lingers.
Fortunately I should be coming home soon.
I had already taught 2 months lessons in advance.
The headmaster was pleased and tried to retain me.
If it was before, I would surely had accepted.
But this time, without giving a second thought, I just want to come home.
I know that you really liked the house.
That day underneath the Gingko tree, from your facial expression--
I know that you want to stay put.
It's as if something had mesmerised you.
At that time, I told myself--
I must strive to buy the house.
I want you to lead a comfortable life.
No more hardship.
We'll settled down here and have lots of children.
All through this life times, I'll be with you till old age.
Even though our hair had turn white and our skin wrinkled,
you will forever remain the most beautiful in my heart.
Come on out! I've spent half a day waiting for you.
No matter who you're--
Since you're here...
come on out and have a cup of tea.
Aren't you afraid?
I have no animosity with you.
I don't think that you'll want to harm me.
I've brew tea and am waiting for someone.
If you're just passing through,
you're welcome to come and have a cup of tea.
Are you waiting for someone?
Yeah, I'm waiting for Ya Ping.
She's usually not punctual.
If you're passing through or...
I'm waiting for someone.
Are you here all the times?
Yeah!
I've been waiting for someone underneath the tree all this while
Been waiting for 50 years.
We agreed to meet here.
Huuh!
No wonder--
What?
It's nothing.
I just recalled when we first arrived,
Uncle Chang was so anxious to sell off this house.
When we said that we just wanted to rent it, he seems perplex.
He's worried that we might not be staying long here.
Come to think of it, it might be because of you.
The former tenant had already moved.
The one you're waiting for is still not here?
Do you know that 50 years ago, this place was a temple.
Yeah, I heard Ya Ping uncle mentioned in passing.
He said that there were 2 brothers fighting a battle here.
Later on, they were killed, and the temple was destroyed.
It's not 2 brothers fighting,
they were fighting with another clan.
Really?
I was that younger brother.
Huuh!
Over 50 years ago,
my brother set up camp on the hill top.
Both my parents passed away when I was just a kid.
My older brother brought me up.
My parents were killed by a rival clan.
They were actually seeking revenge on my brother but can't.
And so they killed our parents.
Brother was a filial son.
He waited patiently for 2 years,
till his clan grew bigger and stronger--
just bidding for the right moment...
he decimated the enemy clan...
They are running away with a child. Quick, go after them.
That liitle rascal had escaped.
That kid's just 6 and half years old. He couldn't have gotten far.
Chase after him!
Wait!
How old did you say that kid was?
Brother, that child was just 6 and half years old.
He's the youngest among their clan.
What about the others?
We've killed all of them except him.
The others and I will chased after him.
He couldn't have got far, let's move.
A Lek!
Forget it.
Brother, we can't let go of this kid!
Just a 6 and half years old kid--
even if he managed to escaped...
he wouldn't last a single night in the deep forest.
Dismiss!!
Brother--
Brother Lek, what do we do now?
You all heard it. That's a direct order.
But no matter...from today onwards, wherever brother goes--
San Pau, Ke Loon, Wang Yar and Chu Chi...
all four of you must followed and protect big brother.
Guard him with your life against any attempt.
Yes!
Retreat!!
Brother had sympathy for the kid,
cause he and I was the same age.
I was an orphan from young.
Brother felt remorseful over this fact.
Consequently he treated me with utmost care and love.
I grew up together with my brother up in the hill camp.
All brother activities were confined to around the nearby hills.
He robbed only those who were rich and from government funds.
Never robbing from the poor.
All the killing activites in the hill camp,
were barred from me joining in by my brother.
He was worried that I might be engulfed by all those hatred.
He employed a teacher for me.
So that I can studied in the hill camp, away from all those killing.
He even refused to allow me to learn how to ride a horse.
But for my protection and safety--
The Zhuang county...
had an invention...
Look at me A Ming, be brave and don't cry.
Ha... brother...I'm frightened.
Keep a tight grip!
Relax your waist!
Handsome!
Ready!
Fire!!
Ha Ha!
After that murderous carnage,
to prevent the enemy from seeking revenge...
brother kept his movement a mystery.
He seldom descend the hill except for important matters.
But every lunar year on the 3rd day of the 3rd month,
brother had that unchangeable habit--
that no matter what...
he would go into the town for the festival.
The once a year "San Yue San" festival.
Every year at the same time,
he'll dressed up as a business merchant,
riding on his horse, passing the Azalea flowers
that laced the bottom of the hillside into town...
to admire flowers and to go on a drinking binge.
He'll only returned way past midnight.
He kept the route of his descend from the hill a secret.
Only me and a few of his close aides knew the way he's taking.
That's the only time each year that my brother is at his happiest.
As for me I don't like crowded places, so I didn't follow him.
Bravo!
Bravo! Bravo!
Good choice...boss!
How much is one piece? How much is one set?
Be careful!
Hah! You've arrived.
This way please!!
You've not been here for quite sometimes.
Are you busy with your business?
What happen later on?
I've seen your husband.
He treats you very well.
You have met him?
Huuh!
You surely must have met him.
Do you really love him?
We grew up together.
And there's Ya Ping.
When we were kids, Qin's house is at the
upper end of the village while mine is at the end.
I walked past through his house everyday after school.
He waited until we're near before rushing out.
At that time, Ya Ping used to tease me.
She called me Mrs. Qin.
After I graduated, we really settled down.
I travel with him all over the country.
He teaches while I tended to the house-hold chores.
Later on Ya Ping left her home town.
She married and moved to this village.
Never thought that after a few years we would moved here too.
Ya Ping found the house on the top of the hill for us.
On hindsight--
a human life is fraught with uncertainty.
But it's also seem almost everything is pre-destined.
Yeah...incidentally--
you said that you saw a girl.
Huh!
You meant A Jiu.
A Jiu?
Do you know?
Aiyah...mum! I've finally arrived.
I'm so tired.
I got up early so that I can be here before night fall.
I left my house before dawn and I'm only arriving now.
I think I must've met with a ghost.
Taking the wrong turn coming up the hill.
I've been up here so many times
that even if I'm blind-folded I won't get lost.
Hey...tell me isn't that weird?
I definitely can see the gate but I just can't reach it.
Must have been blinded by the ghost.
Hey!
The tea is still hot. Did you brew it again?
Mo Xiao-yu, are you that impatient?
Hey...don't drink this.
Let me brew another cup for you.
Hey...it took me more than half a day to reach here,
aren't you concerned?
While on the way up the hill I was worry about you.
I was frightened that the ghost may think that
you're beautiful and would want to haunt you.
Well, some friend you're. Couldn't...
be bother about me. You're heartless!
Stop talking nonsense. You're not afraid of anything.
Since when have you become so superstitious?
Furthermore, you're so crazy.
Even the ghost is afraid of you.
What a fine friend you're, Mo Xiao-yu!
I've been travelling for more than half
a day and you're not even grateful?
You turn around and scold me that I've met with a ghost. You--
You're not focusing and got lost.
Still have the cheek to grumble at me.
Hey! You're unreasonable. There's no justice!
Aiyah!! That's enough.
You acted so nutty,
you're a mother to 2 kids and yet behave so immaturely.
Okay! I give up! I surrender.
I forgive you!
To tell the truth, I'm a bit concern about you.
You're all alone in such a big house.
How can I not be worried.
You are not always that emotional and sensitive.
I'm scared--
I don't hope-- I don't hope for any changes.
What's wrong with changes?
In his letter, Qin Yan mentioned that he'll be back earlier than expected.
Once he comes back, we're staying put here.
With the money that he had earned,
plus the advance that he received from the village...
We have sufficient funds to buy the house.
You're serious about buying this house?
Initially I just proposed--
to Uncle Chang to just rent the house to you.
Ya Ping--
I've been travelling with Qin Yan to so many places...
There's not one place that makes me want to stay back.
But here--
I felt this is like home.
- I wanna give birth and raise our children here. - What? What?
What are you saying?
Qin Yan is going to be a dad. You're going to be an aunt.
Ah! Ha Ha!
That's fantastic.
You really are a crazy woman.
Does Qin Yan knows about this?
I wanted to give him a surprise.
That's just too good.
I was worried that I have no one to pass all those baby clothing to.
It's alright now. I can hand it all to you.
Xiao-yu, you really're a kind person. Not letting others worry about you.
The urn is filled to the brim with water already.
There are still sufficient fire logs. Maybe I should give you some more.
Don't let the onion leaves grows tall. It don't taste good when it's too old.
I'll plucked it and let it regrow back again.
It's so embarassing.
You're waking up so early and doing so much chores.
I don't know what's wrong recently, can't seems to wake up.
You just got pregnant, so it's only normal.
It's better if you can sleep more.
You should take more care of your health.
Don't carried out all those heavy chores.
Let it be, I'll do it for you the next time I'm here.
Ya Ping--
Do you know that...
I've dreamt about this house?
That day when you brought us up here...
upon laying eyes on the garden--
I was taken aback.
The same stone table's and chairs, the same big trees.
It seems that I had already brew tea and was waiting for someone.
I don't know who I was waiting for.
But I vividly remember the garden.
Now...
except when writing to Qin Yan everyday,
I spend most of my time in the garden.
Pruning the plants and watering them.
I don't felt bored at all.
Sometimes, I felt that the heaven really blessed me.
I was disoriented at times,
wondering if all this bliss really belongs to me?
Silly girl. It's definitely yours.
You're such a kind person. If the god's don't take
care of you then that'll be strange indeed.
There are a lot of flowers here.
Take some back for your maids.
Okay!
Dearest Qin,
You'll be back in a few days.
I already felt very excited.
I can imagined seeing you at the bottom of the hill.
There're many things that I would like to tell you.
Ya Ping just left.
Before leaving she plucked a bunch...
of flowers from our garden.
Do you know that she's still happy go lucky?
We squabble everytime she's here.
I wonder how would she behaved in front of her family...
Would it be similar to this way?
When night fall,
we laid down on the bed,
as if we're still in our teen years.
We talk about you and our personal feelings.
Later--
we would fell asleep without knowing what time it is.
Even though we fell asleep, it seem words still linger on our lip.
Sigh!
Do you think that the both of us behave like 2 small child?
Hmm-- child.
I think childen're the most wondrous thing in this world.
Don't you think so?
You know that I will be back?
You haven't finish telling your story.
Yeah...
You said that you saw A Jiu.
Yeah.
A Jiu!
She must be a beauty.
I've never met a woman quite like her.
She sat there quietly by herself.
As though she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.
But when she saw me,
her eyes show no fear.
Today is the 3rd day of the 3rd month. What a happy moment.
Gushing down 2 cups of wine--
With face flushing like monkey ass.
Ha Ha Ha!
C'mon Chu chi-- Let's continue drinking in my room.
I'll say, we had our filled getting drunk. Let's continued back home.
Haven't you guys finish arguing?
Quickly go home and rest.
Let's continue drinking. C'mon.
A Jiu was always creating havoc.
As time goes by, she began to settle down.
Whenever you question her, she won't give you an answer.
Brother, I've already investigated.
I've inquired around the area, none of the families reported anyone missing.
Brother--
I think I know what to do.
She usually hide in the house sewing embroidery to pass time.
Azalea flower's are all that she sew.
I think that's her name.
Sometimes...
she would strolled around the camp hill top.
Hey!
She would walked all the way to the top of the hill and just stood there.
Staring at the hill's peak,
till the sun set.
I don't know what's on her mind.
And I just kept my distance watching her.
Seeing only her side facial profile.
The sunset light swirling around her face.
At that moment all I can hear are my heart beating.
I wished--
I could marry her.
She surely will be reluctant.
You grabbed and kidnapped her.
That's true.
She's not here of her own free will.
How can she be willing?
At that time I was still young.
I always assumed that as long as I strived hard,
to show her how much I love her,
eventually a day will come when she'll fall in love with me.
She'll love me in return like the way I do.
Are you willing to sacrifice for her?
But love---
is not supposed to be like that.
Sometimes love...
is not about working hard for it.
Take for instant, my husband Qin Yan and me.
Not once had he forced me to do the things that I don't want to.
That's true!
At that time, I was so naive.
Have you decided?
Yeah!
But I've not managed to locate her family yet.
I don't care.
Okay! Get married then.
I know that you're unwilling.
But from today on...
I hope that you'll treat him well.
If you still considered yourself a woman,
observed him carefully,
the way when he looks at you,
you'll realized how fortunate you are.
If he gazed at me in that way,
I'm willing to even die for him.
But you can rest assured,
I will treat you kindly.
As long as you're happy--
he'll be happy too.
Let me remind you--
if you even dare to do things that will hurt him,
I'll not let it be.
You just remind yourself of what I say.
First bow to heaven and earth!
Second bow to your elders.
Third bow to your guardians.
Bride and groom exchange bows.
Alright. Consumate the marriage.
Bow!
Actually on the night of the marriage,
I can tell from her eyes, her coldness.
She didn't resist!
I guess she believed all this are pre-arranged by fate.
I thought she hated me only for kidnapping her,
so I was not too concern.
How long can such hatred last?
I'm not scared. I've full confidence that I'll overcome.
I was full of hope looking forward to our future life together.
I'll let her discovered my true love and worthiness to her.
I just hope that one day--
I can see a genuine smile spreading across her face.
If that should happen--
I should become the most happiest man on earth.
When the season for Azalea flower's blossom is over,
I'll get Xiao Lan to gather the best available plant fibers,
and dye it before weaving it to resemble the Azalea flowers.
From a distance it looks real enough.
Is it all completed?
It's all done.
Where's the thing that we wanted?
Parakeet!!
Brother Ming, let me have a look.
Quick bring the cage over.
I hope that in this house,
there'll forever be Azalea flower's in full bloom.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
I caught a glimmer of hope.
I trust all my sacrifices will eventually bear fruits.
I was so exhilarated that I can't asleep.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
Let's move. Hee-yah!
You don't need to be frightened. It's a normal activity for the hill camp.
They're very courageous and seldom causes us to worry.
So far, there're hardly any death or injuries to them.
Ever since your arrival here, I've never
heard you play the flute anymore.
Did you learn it from your childhood day?
Can you just play it once more?
Run faster.
Run faster!
Faster A Jiu! Faster!!
Faster A Jiu!
Hold onto me. A Jiu!! Hold onto me!
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
These're all elder brother consficated prize trophies.
I don't why. For some reason I knew she would like it.
Don't be afraid!
Run faster!
Don't be afraid, A Jiu.
I'm here!! I'll protect you.
Don't be afraid. I'm here.
A Jiu. I'll let no harm comes to you.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
Why?
Why are treating me so coldly? Do you really hate me that much?
Don't you think that whatever I'm doing now is
sufficient enough to compensate for my past wrong doing?
I can sense that you're responsive to my action.
You must have been touch!!
Don't you have any feelings for me?
Is that it?
If you really hated me that much, hate me then.
You better killed me now!!
Just get it over with.
Killed me then.
Now!!
Killed me!
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
Let go!
San Pau, go after him.
Yes!
Let's move.
Amitabaht!
Is he back?
Not yet.
Where's San Pau?
He's waiting for you in the house.
No matter how much I persuaded him,
he refused to follow me back.
It's already decided,
he asked me to convey to you,
Brother's deed for raising him,
forever will be indebted in his heart,
If he can't repay you in this life--
He will repay your gratitude in the next life.
He also reminded us--
to take good care of your life and safety.
Had he been shaven?
Not yet.
The monk said that he still had unfulfilled
matter that needs to be resolved.
He'll stayed in the temple for a few days.
Let him reconsider before deciding.
They really don't believe my desire for this worldly life is over.
They took turn to discourage me.
What they don't understand is,
I'm fed-up of living in this manner.
I was too naive,
too much self-believe,
I truly thought that if you really care for someone,
there will dawn a day--
when all hatred and vengeance will be dissolved.
I was totally wrong.
She hated me!! She really hated me.
Dedication in exchange for true love,
don't exist in this world.
What is reality,
what is really make believe,
I can't distinguish it myself.
The euphoria of a life time vanished,
leaving only everlasting hatred and vengeance.
I don't understand the euphoria of life.
I wanted to leave her,
the further away, the better it will be.
Fate had already ended.
Then, brother came--
Brother is my only living relative in this world.
I know what I'm doing will be painful for him.
I have already decided...
I just wanted him to know that it's my own choice.
Amitabaht!
There's nothing for him to be regretful about.
Furthermore--
my decision can't be term as a bad option.
It don't matter. I won't fault you.
From small whatever you wanted, what you wishes for...
I tried my best to satisfy you.
So this time will also not be an exception.
But...even after you have converted to be a monk,
even if you became a ghost...
You still will be my little brother, my flesh and blood brother.
Alll these are reality and unchangeable.
I will come to visit you often.
Until the day, I am truly convinced--
what you chooses today is not a bad choice.
Even in hell,
I still wanted to make sure that you're well off.
Until finally one day...
A Jiu came too.
She did not leave. Not only is she not leaving...
in fact she stayed in a disused hut near the temple.
I tried to chase her away, but she stubbornly refused to leave.
I don't understand.
At that moment, I don't want to give it any thoughts.
I'm totally commited to Buddha. I hope that he'll give me salvation.
I wanted to forget all I've experienced in this life.
Oh..A Jiu!
A Jiu visited the temple everyday.
She didn't persuade me to return home,
only keeping silent.
She delivered meals to me everyday, never breaking her routine.
Until finally one day--
I don't know why but after that day,
there were changes in everything.
I stopped refusing the meal's that she bring.
She still stayed in the hut outside the temple.
She continued to serve me my daily necessity.
Bringing me my meals,
but she still maintain her silent.
Then for the first time, I saw her smile.
That moment was the happiest I ever felt in my life.
I thought our days would carry on till the end in such ways.
But beautiful moments always seem's to go by too quickly.
In such an arranged manner we chance upon
the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the lunar year again.
It's time for the Azalea flowers to bloom again.
Brother still maintain his particular habit of year past.
Disguised as a merchant, descending from the hill top for
his routine of admiring flowers and drinkng session.
Brother kept his promise to me during my tenure as a monk.
Whenever he had free time on his hand, he'll dropped by to visit me.
In the beginning his visit was very close to his next,
reluctantly departing at the end of the day.
Later on, when he see that my life had improved for the better,
his visit also become less frequent.
I think that he was satisfied with what he hopes for me,
just like he said,
no matter what's the time frame,
he'll only rest easy if he's assured that I'm well off.
Yeah...my hard working and dedicated brother--
No matter where he's at, he always thought of me first.
As for me, I believe that I have let him down.
Tomorrow we can only be back by night time,
we're attending a special occasion.
Early in the morning,
the chief monk took along Wei Ke on his round of begging for alms,
My routine was similar that morning, going about my required chores.
Normally by this time A Jiu would have prepared my daily meals.
She's waiting for me in the garden,
and usually I still felt slightly surprise at her persistence,
but I don't give it any extra thoughts.
I don't know what happen,
the worst scenario possible haven't exactly cross my mind,
that is, until A Jiu appeared.
You are here already.
What's up?
Follow me and run away.
I was taken aback.
For a moment I don't know how to respond to her request.
Shut and barricade the door. Brother--
Faster Faster! Brother...quickly.
Brother!
Brother!!
- Why is this happening? Why is this happening? - Quickly.
What really happened?
I knew that brother activity entailed some dangerous elements,
but I never imagined that this day would arrived so soon.
Brother!!
Brother--
Brother...
While descending from the hill, brother met with an ambush.
The route taken by my brother is known only to his close aide and me.
The few guys who're with him are his blood brother.
They definitely will not betrayed him.
There's no way he can met with an ambush,
it really doesn't make sense to me.
They defended vigorously
and the people who rush to his aid did not return,
and the rescue party was nowhere to be seen.
Brother was fighting and retreating until they reached the temple.
A Ming!
It's of no use.
It'll help. It'll help.
This are the best wound medicine. It surely would help.
When our brothers arrived, we'll fight our way out.
I'll engaged the best herbalist to heal you.
- Everything'll be alright. You'll be alright. - Stop this nonsense.
Brother--
Don't mention the word kill.
You've never been on a raid with me before,
and I have no intention of letting you do so now.
Huh!
Brother!
Don't be so sad.
I knew earlier on that this day would arrived.
But you're different. You can escape this fate.
All that had happen doesn't involved you.
If you managed to escape, you must lead a decent life.
Don't you ever think about seekng revenge for me.
An eye for an eye.
It should end with me. Everything is even now.
Who betrayed my brother? I swore veangence upon him.
A Ming, it's not important.
Really, it does not matter.
You come over here.
Promised me...
You promised me--
You must let him get out safely.
Brother...
You must promised me!!
That's good.
A Ming...
My A Ming--
- Brother! - Brother!
Brother...
Quick...surround the temple.
We will all rush in.
Quick, let's us all rush in and kill them.
Brother, we've already surrounded the temple.
Even if they've wings, they can't escape.
Let's killed them all.
No!!
He's already dead.
A Jiu, come on out.
I'll burned down this temple, leaving no survivors.
Brother, you promised me that you'll let him go.
You promised me!!
All these have nothing to do with him.
His hand's had never been stained by blood.
If I don't agreed to your term, would you have obey me?
I'll not spared anyone today.
Initially...
if they hadn't let loose a 6 years old kid,
today reprisal couldn't have taken place.
- Light the fire! - Yes.
Brother!
Brother, let's rush in and kill them all now.
Wait! If we rush in now A Jiu might get hurt.
Brother, call A Jiu to come out now.
A Jiu, come on out quickly. Open the door.
We have already encircled the temple.
None of them will be able to escape.
A Jiu!
Can you hear me?
Open the door faster.
Don't let them harm you.
A Jiu!!
A Ming! A Ming!
Why don't you let me know that brother already knew?
Why don't you tell me?
Brother said that he raised you up since you're just a kid,
He had never seen you love a woman so deeply before.
My brother will surely release me.
He promised me that we can leave together.
If you should perished, I will not go on living.
My brother will not let me die.
- Trust me, we can escape from here alive. - A Jiu, come out quickly.
You must trust me...trust me, can you hear what I'm saying?
We can be together...
Burn the temple down!
A Jiu!!
Come out quick. I'm gonna burn this place down.
Come out or you'll get burn too.
A Jiu! Brother knows that you're just momentarily confused.
Please come out. I'll not blame you.
Have you forgotten about the days when
we were forced to live in the forest?
Have you forgotten how your parents looks like?
You must have forgot that their hands are
stained with the blood of our 9 family members.
A Jiu!!
Tell me please that you've not forgotten.
Tell me that you haven't forgotten all that had happen.
Ah Jiu, come out!
Why don't you trust me anymore?
In this lifetime...
we have taken the wrong path.
The timing is wrong.
Location is also not correct.
- Brother. - Knocked the door down.
Yes!
Help me knocked the door down.
Quick...knocked the door down.
We'll meet again in the next life.
Next life!
I'll wait for you.
A Jiu.
A Jiu...is the sister to the kid who escaped the carnage.
Who knows that one of the family member
that was murder a few months earlier,
had just gave birth to a baby girl.
Who could have guess...
the 6 years old kid that escape,
brought along an infant with him.
The pitiful siblings hide in the forest
and managed to survive.
A kid that's barely can look after himself,
could raised an infant on his own.
You can just imagined the hardship that they've to endure..
Their only reason to stay alive is to seek revenge.
They've plotted a plan--
Just awaiting my apperance.
But they have not foreseen,
that A Jiu would fall in love with you.
That's right!
No one can foreseen.
Did you finally managed to meet A Jiu?
A Jiu left before I did.
She thought that I'm still alive.
She rushed to reincarnate,
and as for me, I was scared that she'll
searched for me under the Gingko tree.
I don't dare to move away from here.
I missed my chance for reincarnation.
In the circle of reincarnation I can only prolong here for 50 years.
The time is close now.
That means--
That means she didn't appear even once?
Could it be that she had forgot?
Or...
or she came--
You might not recognise her.
I often used to think,
she'll come one of these days.
Wether she realised it or not,
she still will come to this tree.
If she just comes, just have a glance...
no matter how she looks like now,
I'll surely recognised her.
I just kept on waiting...
Just waiting--
But this story is ending soon.
I've only just come to understood,
I've never asked myself,
why do I want to wait for her?
Our previous life is pre-destined,
I thought that if I met her again in this life time,
we can start afresh.
I can gave her happiness,
but I've never consider...
that she might be contented in this lifetime.
Just like you!
What I want to give her, she already possesed.
Isn't happiness is what I wanted to give her?
As long as she's contented,
wether this happiness is given by me--
being able to wait for her...
is irrelevant.
But--
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
The tea is getting cold.
In the next life,
will you still recognised me?
What I'll say is...
the tea is getting cold.
Let me brew another cup.
You will know then,
that person is me.
A Ming!
A Ming wait for me.
A Ming!
Please wait.
Please wait...
Let's have a look downstairs.
Okay! Let's go Uncle Chang.
