Good, you are reborn today
lp Tsun, are you a coward?
No
Then you do it to show me
You are home
Tsun, take your clothes off for a hot bath
No... I have homework to do
Tsun, be a good boy, take a bath first
You have not had a bath for a week
You are dirty
Diseases are rampant you have to keep clean
No
Just take your clothes off Let me bathe you
No Come on
Hold it
What happened?
I... hurt myself when I was playing
Nonsense! How come you are a liar now?
I am not
What happened?
Why are you hiding it from us?
I... want you to have buns
Silly boy, why?
The buns are taken from us
I was taking some back for you
What's wrong with it?
Tsun, I am able-bodied
I don't need you to suffer so much for me
You get it?
I know, you are filled with worries every night
No one dare to hire you
I know, it's hard for you
Silly boy, you know how it makes our hearts bleed
Don't do it again
No going to school from tomorrow on Not ever again
Tsun, good boy
Master lp, you have to do us justice
Master lp...
What happened?
My daughter... the Japanese killed my daughter
Master lp
Give our kids back...
Halt
Give my daughter back to me...
What are you doing here?
My daughter...
Give my daughter back to me...
Go back, this is campus
We want to see your principal
He's not at your beck and call, go back
Give our kids back to us...
Halt
Go on!
Give our kids back to us...
The campus is a sacred place
You Chinese are not allowed here
Jap, give my daughter back to me!
A six-year-old girl
Because of your unreasonable education
She got a fever and died last night
War is between the adults
Why drag the children into it?
She's just six!
My daughter's just six, just a kid
In Japan, all school children wear shorts or skirts to school
They have cold baths even in winter
Why is it they are fine but you can't stand a cold bath in autumn?
Because you are the sick men of East Asia
Jap, give my daughter back to me
Jap, pay for her life
But His Majesty is kind to his subjects under his rule
He hopes to help you shake off the name with our education
Do you want to be Sick Men of East Asia?
No...
You hear that?
You sick men of East Asia
They don't want to be with you
Your education is not healthy
You will only produce zombies that have no independent thinking
You included
You are brainwashed by militarism
You are not human at all
You Chinese pigs, slaves
This is a sacred place, don't you stain it
Take it out
Jap, what nonsense Return my daughter to me
Jap, return my daughter to me...
Jap, return my daughter to me
Rascal...
Freeze...
My son...
What do you mean?
Kimon san, give way
His Majesty wants us to liberate Greater East Asia
Your gun should point at enemies not civilians
Bugs! Go away
You go back first
Go back
Gentleman, thank you
Your martial artistry is an eye-opener
I am lp Man
I am Kimon Ryuji
I am a writer
I am here writing a book
Mr Kimon...
You are...
I am Lam Ching-shan President of the PPA in Foshan
How do you do?
It's my pleasure to meet you A well-known writer
Mr lp Man is revered in the martial arts circle in Foshan
You mean to get some inspiration from him?
Not just him
I am interested in getting inspiration from you too
Excuse me, good bye
Awesome, you have a Japanese friend so soon
lp Man, you have the potential to be a collaborator
Look, Tsun has the fighting spirit
He doesn't want to lag behind kids in school
He's working hard with his penmanship
It's his good fortune to have you as his teacher
Other kids... their minds are impressionable And easily influenced
If this goes on, they will be brainwashed
And become militant
Yes, I've noticed lately that there are Koreans in the Japanese army
They are even more militant than the Japanese
I think it must be a result of the Japanese militant education
We have to do something
Master lp... it's said your wife had a college education
She can teach
Could she teach our kids as well?
Yes, Master lp, we don't want our kids to study in the Japanese school
lp Tsun
Teaching one and teach many are the same Of course
Thank you, Master lp Thank you...
Learning, midnight oil or morning glow It's the time to study
If you don't study hard when you're young You'll regret it when you get old
The meaning of this poem is...
Teacher, may I sit down?
How come you are late?
I live far away
Then sit down and join others
Yes
It means we should get up early to study
If we are lazy when young
It's cute
When you grow old, you will regret...
What is it?
Miss Cheung, Dad and Mom said it's been hard for you teaching us
We don't have money for tuition
The duckling can give you eggs
You keep it
We can raise it together
We can have eggs
Mom, it's cute Let me have a look...
We'll raise it together
You like it? Yes
Thank you
Boss, you have books for kids?
Master lp, I know what books you mean
But they are now banned
I don't have them, may be you can try somewhere else
Mr Lu Xun's books?
Kimon Bookstore
Mr lp
Mr Kimon
What a surprise
I can find Lu Xun's books in your shop
He's revered in Japan
Not just Chinese should read his books We Japanese should as well
Your thinking is different from that of your Japanese invaders
Mr lp, have some wine
Those in power don't know literature
Nor do they care
They don't know the power of literature
Like Mr Lu Xun's books
They can't be banned
Will it get you into trouble?
I am Japanese, it's an advantage here
You are interested in Chinese literature?
I too want to hear what you think about Mr Lu Xun?
His books are filled with his love for his people
I just don't get it
The Japanese is a noble people
How come they have become invaders?
They used to be a noble people
They are reverential and disciplinary
Mount Fuji is gorgeous
If some country invaded Japan, went about robbing and killing your people
how will you find it?
Mr lp, you are outspoken. My admiration!
How outspoken can I be? What can I do under this situation?
The war will soon be over, and real soon
I hope we can get out of its shadow And have a good drink together
Morning has broken
A new morning full of hope
Open up your chest with you
And look up to the sky
Following the instructions from the radio
Open up your healthy chest
To the balmy breeze...
Where are the students?
They have all gone to a Chinese school
What nerve!
3x6=18, 3x7=21
3x8=24, 3x9=27
What are you doing?
You all go back with me
The lmperial Army wants to take the students away
Take them away
No
Fire
Halt
Mr Lam, what do you mean?
This school is a permitted school
You can't take its students away
What nonsense, permitted?
Freshly permitted, look
lp Man, take it and hang it up
With it, no one can bully you
Chinese kids should be taught by Chinese It beats being taught by the Japanese
The Foshan Provisional Government
is very satisfied with this school
You just carry on
Mr Yamada, let's go
This one assaulted lmperial Army men
Take him back
Mr Yamada, let me handle it
I will take good care of it
Get lost
Mr Yamada, you are just a school principal
Making arrests is my job
lp Man, you have to go back with me
Come on, excuse us
Get in
Dad Don't go over
Be a good boy
That collaborator Lam Ching-shan is so good to them
Indeed
I think he must be a collaborator
Maybe it's true Indeed
This premium tea really is different It's so fragrant
What are you taking me here for?
For tea
I have liked this place since I was small
It's so open
Tell me, what do you want?
Isn't that lp Man?
He has gone over to Lam Ching-shan
It's over now
I have had it investigated
You have been released
But Man, you assaulted lmperial Army soldiers
If it hadn't been for me
would they have killed you?
This should be your treat
If there's nothing else, excuse me
Wait, Man, your integrity means nothing to me
Believe it or not
You are walking down the path of a collaborator as I've planned
Take care
Why are the students still not here?
Indeed
Where are they?
Miss Cheung, my daughter won't come from today on
Why?
Because... we have chores at home
We can't take her here and take her back
We don't have the time
But they should have schooling at their age
You can deny them anything but not education
My son won't come either
But...
Why? Miss Cheung charges no tuition What are you complaining about?
What do you know?
Can't I say something fair?
Take it easy...
What actually is the matter? What are your difficulties?
You are too cozy with the collaborator
Nonsense, my mom and dad hate collaborators
Not just the collaborators but Japanese as well... the bookstore guy
Right, my son said the Japanese gave you books
What nonsense
Back at the school others were given one bun
But you got two or three every time
Leave the kids out of it
I'm just telling the truth
lp Tsun got more than others
Other kids saw that
You have nothing to say now?
Let's go Let's go
You have a brain or not?
When lp Man fought Ng Pak-lam
He's not even afraid of guns
How would he be a collaborator?
Come on, let's go
Let's go
I want my duckling back
I feed it
But it came from our brood
I've fed it all along...
You ask the Japanese for one
Duckling
Tsun, forget it
We'll buy you one
Duckling
Tsun... Tsun, come on
You alright?
Your hands are so cold
He's feverish. Get the doctor
Nothing serious, just a cold
Let me write you a prescription
Two decoctions and he'll be fine
Tsun, it's alright, just take some rest
It's alright, take some rest
Doctor, wait
Please tell me the truth
You really shouldn't know about this
What is my son's illness?
Malaria
He has malaria
You have to save him
He's so young, just in primary school
He has not seen the world yet
Not that I won't, but I can't do anything
You know about the Lau's Village and the Ma's River area
Many have died of malaria there
The Japanese has had it shut off No one is allowed to leave
Is there a cure for it?
Quinine
But where can you find it during wartime?
Even the Japanese army doesn't have it Many have died of it
Don't leak out your son's illness
If the Japanese find it out He is doomed
Don't you forget
Doctor...
Tsun, you alright?
Mom, I am fine
You will be fine
Even if it means my life
I'll pay for it
Boss, you have drugs for malaria?
What about quinine?
Are there drugs for it?
Sorry... but can you tell us
Is quinine the only drug for it?
If you can find quinine then there's still hope
Where can we find it?
We will pay any price for it
But you can't find any in Foshan
How come? That can't be!
Let's think up some other way
Japanese here! What is it between them?
Leave my son alone
Wing-shing, he's seriously ill
He's an army doctor
Get lost
Tsun Mom, I feel cold
How is it?
It's serious, it's malaria
Malaria?
He must have been bitten by mosquitoes carrying the disease
No wonder, the condition is so poor here
Shut up
Mr lp, he has to take quinine right away
Or it will be too late
Wing-shing, if you want quinine
Ask lp Man to come to me
Let's go
He wants you to be a collaborator
We can't take his quinine
Mom, I feel cold...
Tsun, let me get you a doctor
It's cold
Tsun
Doctor, help us, help our son
What is he suffering from?
Malaria
We can't treat it here
Prepare for his funeral
There are Japanese in the hospital
If they see him you may not even get his body back
Please, save him, I beg you
I am sorry
Please, you have to save him
We have to get quinine
Come on, Tsun
Don't fall into Lam Ching-shan's trap
He wants you to beg him
You can't go
You absolutely can't go
Dad Dad here
Tsun
Dad, I am fine
I don't like Japanese people
I know
Let's think of other ways
Go to drugstores to beg
Or go to Uncle's old friends
They have overseas connections
Maybe they can get quinine
Why does it have to be Tsun? Why not me?
Please, help me
We don't have it
Please
I said it, no
Go somewhere else. Go away
Boss, where's he?
What?
You want me?
Playing hide and seek with me?
That's what you think
You have left my sight
But you came back here
You don't want your son to die
Man, you are not as tough as Wing-shing or I
If it were Wing-shing, she'd never go to beg the Japanese
But you would
It shows you can only turn collaborator
I have it ready for you
Take it to your son
Go beg the Japanese
You will get nothing but humiliation
Let me help you
You don't want it?
Then I'll throw it away
No
See? I'll give you ten seconds
You want it or not?
Yes
lp Man and Lam Ching-shan together
So he's a collaborator too
I don't believe you
You suspect that it's fake?
There's nothing you won't do
Good, you can wear it after your son has recovered
Go save your son
lp Man is a collaborator...
Really...
Who would have known?
Lp Man has become a collaborator...
Shut up... it's his fatherly love...
What fatherly love? A collaborator is a collaborator
Let's go
Don't bother with them, they are junk
Wing-shing, your uncle has done me great favour
If I could help, I would give you my whole fortune
But quinine is beyond me
It's restricted
You can't find it anywhere
Please, think up a way to help me
I really can't find it
Wing-shing, lp Tsun can't wait
You have to try other means
I have nowhere to go
At such a time, we are worse than dogs
I have some rice here
You take it back
You just take it
Thank you
Take care of yourself
Goodbye
I've brought some rice back
Quinine?
Yes
Where did you get it?
Don't you bother
From Lam Ching-shan?
Give it to me
From Lam Ching-shan?
Let Tsun take it first
Is it from Lam Ching-shan?
Yes
I got it from him
What have you promised him?
Wing-shing, Tsun can't wait
What have you promised him?
I will work for them once Tsun has recovered
You will be a collaborator for the drug?
I won't do anything bad, believe me
What a fool you are
You love our son, I love our son
You and Tsun are the most important to me
Even more important than my life
I won't let my son die
But I can't let you ruin yourself
I can't let you be a collaborator
But Tsun will die
The drug will save his life
But you will die
