♫ Heroes of Huaxia(Hua Xia Ying Xiong) ♫ DENG CHAO
When all started in the heaven Dang yi qie kai shi zai tian
When all were no longer silent Dang wan wu bu zai shi shen mo
Who gave me a dream containing a slice of blue sky Shei gei wo yi ge meng, meng zhong you yi pian tian kong
Telling me the color of life? Gao su wo sheng ming de yan se
From hence on, I bid farewell to all loneliness Cong ci gao bie suo you ji mo
Only waiting for sunrise and sunset everyday Deng dai mei tian ri sheng ri luo
When fresh blood covers the sky Dang xian xue yan gai le tian
When the country is seeking real heroes Dang hua xia xun zhao zhen de ying xiong
Who will give a sword pointing the way out Shei gei wo yi bai jian, jian zhi xiang yi tiao chu lu
Telling me to march forward with a smile? Gao su wo yao xiao zhe zou guo
Committed to saber and sword for life Dao jian xiang yue yi sheng
The butterflies can never fly across the blue dome of sky Hu die fei bu guo cang qiong
As the meteor passes by, life changes in a flash Deng dai liu xing hua guo, cang hai sang tian
On the banks of the icy lake of tears Bing lei hu de an bian
Helplessly, the saber and sword flashes by Wu nai dao jian hua guo
My beloved left me with a thousand years of longing Yi ren liu xia qian nian de si nian
Far away at the ends of the earth, someone is singing Zong ran yuan gu tian bian, shei zai ge chang
A tune that mourns the lingering loss of a lifetime Ji nian yi luo yi shi de chan mian
With eyes longing Ning wang de yan shen
For love Ai lian

For love Ai lian
Idon' twant to lie to you, Chi-Yeuk.
I' ve never loved a girl so much as I love Chiu Man.
I know.
Since the day I saw you meeting her at the inn,
I' ve known that she is the one you love,
but all the time I told myself
that I might be able to change your mind if we got married.
Now I realize it was simply my wishful thinking.
Chi-Yeuk, you have my respect.
Siu-Chiu had my gratitude.
And Chu had my care.
But Chiu Man is different.
My love for her is profound.
Profound and true love?
Mo-Kei.
You also have my profound and true love.
Don' t you realize that?
I know you are always nice to me.
I appreciate it all the time.
And I will never forget your kindness.
I' m sorry that I failed you.
Don' t be. It was not your fault.
I can understand.
Can you answer me a question?
If, this time, Miss Chiu left you for good,
or if she was murdered,
or if she dumped you, what would you do?
Well...I have no idea.
But I will do whatever it takes to find her.
Whatever!
Well, she didn' t dump you,
and she is safe and sound. No need to worry.
You know where she is?
Please tell me where she is. Please!
Oh, gosh!
How I wish you ever cared about me this much!
If you want to see her,
you must promise me one thing.
Otherwise, you' ll never see her again.
What do you want?
I have no idea for now,
but I' ll let you know when I get the idea.
I guarantee that it won' t be obstructive to your uprising.
It won' t be unreasonable,
and it won' t harm your sect' s reputation or your fame,
but it might be not easy to achieve.
Well...
I am not forcing you to give me the promise,
but as a man of your words,
you must not go back on your promise once you make it.
Are you saying that your request
won' t be obstructive to our uprising,
or unreasonable,
or harmful to my sect' s reputation and my fame?
Exactly.
OK. Deal.
Let' s make it an oath by "high five"!
If you do it now,
I will let you see your sweetheart right here and right now.
OK. Deal.
Look over there.
Man-Man...Man-Man.
Screw you!
How dare you think nothing of me!
Look. She' s suffering from a severe poison.
You think she can survive this?
I' m fed up with such a life.
I' m fed up with Yan Lei' s spirit haunting me.
I' d rather die, and you' re coming down with me!
Wait, Chow!
Chu...
Are you living or dead?
I' m...Iiving!
Chu...
I missed you so much! How are you?
Where have you been? I missed you so much!
What' s wrong with you?
I' m so glad to have you back.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling good?
Let me see.
Hands off! I' m still alive, and I can' t be better.
You idiot!
Screw you, ugly freak!
You goddamn ugly freak!
Why did you bury me into the sands?
Do you have any idea how horrible I felt in the sands?
- I almost got choked! - Chu!
How dare you do that to me, huh?
Stop it, Chu! I thought you were dead at that time!
That really broke my heart!
Thank god!
You' re still alive!
Would you excuse me to reactivate Miss Chiu?
What' re you talking about?
God showed me mercy and let me come around.
But you? You buried me when I was still alive!
You said you thought I had already died.
How could it be?
I' ve figured out why now.
You were terrified by my ugly face, weren' t you?
You didn' t want to see me again,
so you couldn' t wait to bury me when I was still alive,
trying to choke me to death!
It must be so!
You bloodless jerk!
Damn you, bastard! Go to hell!
Come on, Chu! Why would I do that?
I really thought you were already dead at that time!
You were lying there, with blood all over your face,
and I couldn' t feel you breathing or your heart beating.
So I...
So what?
So I buried you.
Were you sure I had no breathing?
What made you so sure about that?
I knew it. You set it all up!
It was your evil plan, wasn' t it?
I felt so cold when I came around in confusion,
wet through by icy water.
I didn' t realize I was on the beach until I opened my eyes.
I asked myself why I was there,
but I had absolutely no clue to it.
Then I figured it out.
I told myself that someone must have laid me there.
And the "someone" must have been you!
You tried to drown me, didn' t you?
You tried to murder me!
You tried to get rid of me, didn' t you?
You bastard!
Go to hell, you sinful bastard!
- Chu...stop it, please! - You jerk!
Chu, please forgive me, OK?
- It wasn' t my intension. - Thank god!
- You' re back!
Don' t look at her! You know what?
She is a devil! You mustn' t look at her!
Why?
Why? She' s a murderer!
She murdered me!
You hear me? She killed me!
Stay away from her!
You murdered me!
Why did you do that?
You murdered me!
You harmed me when I was in a coma.
Enough. Chu...
Chu, you are still alive,
so she is not a murderer.
Do you understand how I felt back then?
Have you any idea of the dread of seeing death?
I do!
I was so close to death. She put me through that!
I' m so sorry, Miss Yan, for what I did to you that day.
Guilt has been eating my heart.
Since then, I have never slept well for once.
Otherwise, I wouldn' t have been so terrified when I ran into you in the woods.
Seeing you are safe and sound,
I feel so relieved.
You OK?
Trust me! I am really thrilled to see you again!
I believe you.
I planned to seek revenge. Never mind.
Miss Chow.
I' m so sorry for what I did to you.
It' s OK. I' m still alive anyway.
The cuts you gave me were quite helpful in a way.
My face used to be bloated.
The cuts drained the pus,
and my boil got healed.
Don' t you think I look much prettier now?
So I' ve decided to forgive you.
Chu, after your incident,
we continued staying on the island for quite a while.
Why didn' t you come to us after you woke up?
Look! What' s this? Huh?
You made it?
"In memory of my beloved wife, Yan Lei."
What the hell is this stupid thing?
"In memory of my beloved wife."
You made this for me, didn' t you?
Who are you exactly?
If I hadn' t heard Miss Chow call you "Mo-Kei" with so much care,
I wouldn' t have known you' re Mo-Kei!
- Chu... - You liar!
Why are you beating him again?
I enjoy beating him! So what?
You have a problem with that?
Hey! He' s being nice. Don' t go too far.
I' m going too far?
You must be kidding.
Listen. This man is a playboy.
Take him if you want. I don' t care.
He is such a liar.
Chang Mo-Kei is Tsang Ah-Ngau.
They are one!
I enjoy beating him! I love hitting his head.
I love hitting his arms and his legs!
I love beating him!
Screw you, Chang Mo-Kei! Damn you, Tsang Ah-Ngau!
Go to hell, Chang Mo-Kei.
Oh, no! You' re not Chang Mo-Kei!
You don' t understand how hard it could be to love someone!
But don' t worry.
I don' t love this ugly freak.
I' ve lost my heart to that little boy
who hit me, cursed me and bit me in the Butterfly Valley.
He' s in my heart.
I don' t love the man standing in front of me.
Who I love is that little boy in my heart!
I must find him. I must find him!
Will he bite me and curse me after I find him?
No, he won' t.
It' s my fault. I put her in this situation.
Right?
He will never hit me again!
She is a little bit crazy indeed.
It is my fault.
I' m the one who loves you most in this world. You know that?
Compared with those who have a sober mind...
There' s a boy named Ngau. He is so nice to me.
He never fights back whenever I hit him.
...I suppose...
I can hit him whenever I want! So enjoyable!
...she will be much happier this way.
Why doesn' t he fight back?
Because he is not that little evil boy!
We' ve got to go.
Where to?
I saw your fellow Pang looking for you anxiously.
I guess your men need you now.
OK. Let' s go!
What' s wrong? Is it about Chu?
I am wondering
what would' ve happened to me and Chu
ifl had gone to the Island ofVipers with her.
Oh, I am such a silly princess!
I' m with a man who' s thinking about another woman!
Now tell me.
Are you thinking about Miss Chow?
My lord, Mr. Chang from Wudang asked to see you.
Something might have happened to my great master!
Get him here.
Uncle, is everything OK with my great master?
Oh, he can' t be better.
But I heard some bad news.
A troop of 20,000 soldiers is marching towards here!
I suppose they aim at an attack against you.
So I rushed here overnight to warn you.
This is really an emergency!
We must tell the abbot right now.
Man-Man, you stay. Uncle, let' s go.
OK.
He' s right there.
Abbot...
A Mongolian troop of 20,000 soldiers is approaching.
What shall we do?
I can' t decide on my own.
Let' s go to discuss with others.
Master Hung-Man.
Now that we have great warriors here,
why don' t we go face to face with the troop?
I agree! Let' s fight a way out!
May I have a word?
A transfer of military is common.
They might not be coming at us.
I understand their language.
Their commander gave the order to attack!
Amitabha.
I guess the government misunderstood our intention of this get-together,
so a troop was sent out to interfere.
Everyone here knows kung-fu.
You needn' t panic.
We can handle those soldiers.
No need to worry.
That' s right.
Amitabha.
At present,
people are living in hell,
because of the disorder across the country.
As martial art warriors,
we' re supposed to maintain peace,
and to get people out of hell.
Agreed?
Totally agreed!
But we are used to fighting on our own,
competing with kung-fu skills
or inner power.
We have no experience of war.
I have an idea.
How about we retreat now?
No way! We cannot retreat.
Silence!
Master Hung-Man, if we retreat without resistance,
our enemies will regard us as cowards and look down upon us.
Besides, we cannot leave you people alone here.
Don' t worry. When they enter the temple,
seeing all monks and no other martial world members,
they won' t harm us.
I' m sure they won' t get what they want.
Thank you for your kindness.
But we are no cowards.
How can we run away when facing enemies?
No, we can' t!
Now that they' re challenging us,
we must let them know our strength.
That' s right.
All of us shoulder the responsibility
to overthrow a corrupt government.
I suggest we draw them away
to avoid damage to this temple first.
Then we' ll fight them with full strength.
I share the same idea.
Excuse me.
My lord.
Their vanguard is attacking our temple,
accusing us of assembling for uprising.
They ordered to kill all bald...
Go on!
Bald monks?
That' s right.
They said that they had killed many monks along their way.
They called all bald guys bad guys.
And they did the same to those with hair.
This is ridiculous!
Let' s fight a way out.
We must make them pay!
Everyone, today is the high time we killed our enemies for our country!
We' re warriors of justice!
Let' s go to war of justice!
One side is my home country.
The other side is my beloved man.
Oh, god, which side shall I take?
Let' s go to war of justice!
Let' s fight a way out!
Since we' re determined to fight,
now let Master Hung-Man be our commander.
Oh, no, Mr. Chang.
I am good at kung-fu skills,
but I have no knowledge of the art of war.
On the contrary,
your sect has great influence on the martial world.
Everyone knows that your sect is large enough in number
to resist the governmental force.
So I suggest we make Mr. Chang our commander
to lead the uprising against the government!
Great! Mr. Chang, please be our commander!
Stop! Master Hung-Man.
I' m not good at the art of war, either!
Besides, I...
Mr. Chang, you' re being modest.
I really don' t think I can do it.
Just accept the offer.
My lord, just accept the offer.
Without you as our commander,
we will fall into a state of disunity,
and we will lose for sure!
That' s right.
Mr. Chang, be our commander!
- Water and Metal Banners! - Yes!
- You' ll be the vanguard. - Yes, my lord.
- Chow. - Yes, my lord.
- Chang! - Yes, my lord.
- Each of you will assist one banner. - Yes, my lord.
Conk-tail, take our sect' s tokens
to deploy reinforcements.
Yes, my lord.
I can hear bugle call from the foot of the mountain.
I can also hear loud battle cry from above.
Mo-Kei' s fellows are in high spirits.
They' re to fight my father' s troop.
Now fears are controlling me.
The fear of losing my beloved father,
as well as of losing my beloved man.
Come on!
This bastard killed Mr. Mok Sing-Khoo!
Jerk! He' s a shame of our sect!
We must kill him!
We must make him pay!
Go to hell, trash!
We mustn' t let him off!
He' s the murderer!
- Damn you, trash! - The great master!
I' m sorry, master. My son killed Sing-Khoo.
It' s me to blame!
Master.
Yuen-Kiu. You should take the blame for this.
So I announce the leadership of our sect goes to Lin-Chau.
Master.
This is final.
Son...
It' s me to blame!
My fault, son!
I' ll give you some privacy.
My lord.
We met our waterloo in Haozhou City.
Hon San-Tung has sacrificed!
What?
Chu Yuen-Chang is in charge of Huaisi Army,
but he refuses to go to war.
Why?
He said that our counterpart is Prince Chaghan,
your future father-in-law.
He disagreed to a war within a family.
My lord.
You must tackle this issue carefully.
People talk.
If our members got to know about this,
they' d go into a temper.
That will be harmful to our uprising.
True.
But Miss Chiu has sacrificed a lot for me.
Go!
- Whoa... - Go on!
Seems the number of our enemies is quite big!
They' ve stationed down there.
Wai, spy on them after nightfall.
Check out if they' ll attack us at night.
I' m on it.
My lord, those are simply the vanguard.
They won' t attack before the main body comes.
I suppose Prince Chaghan will go on battlefield in person.
Um...Yueng, Fan, you two guard the front side.
I' ll go check the peak at the back.
- Miss Chiu, come with me. - OK.
Go!
Look over there!
It is a weak point.
I' ll take guards there.
Be warned. That place is weak in defense.
You OK?
Man-Man.
Miss Chow just left,
without a goodbye in fear of disturbance.
By the way, I heard that my father had come here.
What will you...
Can we not talk about this now?
Let' s go to the back hill, shall we?
- Go... - Whoa...
Over there.
Go...
Man-Man.
Yes?
Nothing. Nothing special.
You were about to ask for my advice,
but on second thought,
you felt it inappropriate to ask me,
a princess who betrayed my family to be with you,
to go against my father in war. Am I right?
Go...
I totally understand Man-Man' s feelings.
This war is against my will.
I hope they are willing to retreat to the north
and make peace with us for the people' s well-being.
That would be great!
We' re to face an attack by 20,000 well-trained soldiers
equipped with cannons under Prince Chaghan' s lead.
No matter how great we are in kung-fu,
we cannot resist their massive attack.
Great!
The situation now is different from that recorded in this book,
but we can apply the same strategy to take the enemies by surprise!
Fight till death...
Settle down.
Ng, listen to my command.
Yes, my lord!
Lead your banner troop and keep order.
If anyone disobey my order,
you are free to punish them,
be them our fellow members
or from other sect.
Made no exception!
Yes, my lord.
For those who are good at jumping,
I want you to jump over the walls of the temple.
What the hell?
Why are you asking us to do such a silly thing?
We are great warriors.
We ought to be fighting our enemies out there!
We' re making a smokescreen to make our enemies believe we' re running away.
Once they catch up with you,
bring them to the back hill.
My plan is to weaken their force by distracting,
and then draw them into the valley,
where we shall gain some edge.
First Deputy General.
Yes, your highness.
You break in from right and cross the valley quickly.
- Then launch an intensive attack. - Yes!
- Second Deputy General. - Yes!
You break in from left and meet First Deputy General.
Then march into the mountain together and surround our enemies!
Understand?
Yes.
Then deploy cannons on this line from here to there
and blow off our enemies!
What an intensive attack!
- What shall we do? - This is not good.
- True! - Fire!
Fire!
- Follow up! - What do we do, my lord?
We' re under an intensive bombardment!
Couldn' t steal a chance to counterattack.
What do we do now?
Ng, use cannons to suppress them.
- Get moving! - Got it!
Fire!
Charge!
Fire!
Fire...
Ng, we' ve run out of ammunition!
We cannot resist so many enemies!
Go! General Chui... Go!
General Chui! General Sheung! Go!
The Mt. Shaoshi is falling!
Reinforcements are needed.
What?
Everyone turn around! Go to Mt. Shaoshi!
Moving out!
Fire to kill them all! Go!
Fire!
We can' t smash up our enemies. There' re too many of them.
We' re losing this battle. What shall we do?
We' re outnumbered.
Seems the box-up strategy is not working in this battle.
Save it now.
- What shall we do, my lord? - Stay calm.
Right. We mustn' t panic now.
Let' s fight hard and destroy the enemies!
Do something, my lord!
We' re losing!
Come on!
We can count on you only.
Mo-Kei.
Mo-Kei...Come on, stand up, Mo-Kei.
Come on!
Go...Whoa!
Father, I betrayed you. Take my life!
Chang Mo-Kei is a traitor!
Is he worth it?
I' m so sorry that I failed you and left without a word.
You betrayed your country.
The crime will get the whole family beheaded!
Father, Chang Mo-Kei is my husband.
I can' t live without him! Please spare him!
You' re giving up your title as a princess for him.
Is he worth so much?
Ifyou insist on doing this,
you' ll no longer be my daughter!
Father, I' ve sworn to share my life with Mo-Kei.
I shall not live without him!
Our lives are now in your hand.
Make your decision.
- Don' t do this, Man-Man. - Mo-Kei.
You mustn' t do it.
Retreat! Everyone retreat!
My lord...
- You OK, my lord? - I' m fine.
My lord...
Cheers! Cheers!
- Congratulations! - Thanks.
- Chui, Sheung. - My lord.
The credit of this victory should go to you two.
Thank you very much.
Without you, we couldn' t have won.
You' re too modest, my lord.
Without your excellent leadership,
we wouldn' t have won this battle so smoothly.
Sheung, how is your condition lately?
Are you still following the prescription I gave you?
No need to worry, my lord. I eat like a horse.
And I am as strong as a horse.
I can fight on battlefield day after day without a break!
It' s no big deal to me!
Glad to hear that.
But don' t wear yourself out.
Yes, my lord.
- Come on. - Cheers!
- Here. - Thanks.
Guys! Bottoms up!
Come on!
Cheers!
My lord, you' ve always been admired for your courage and your profound kung-fu.
But your performance in war impressed me more.
It' s our privilege to have such an outstanding commander!
Oh, come on. You' re flattering me.
Today' s victory should go to your timely backup,
and the help of Ngok' s Art ofWar.
I don' t deserve the credit at all.
What Ngok' s Art ofWar?
I don' t get you.
Wow! His art of war is beyond us!
If this man was still alive
and if he could be our leader,
we would surely thrash the enemies!
- Totally agreed. - Take it back.
Use it and lead our army to the ultimate victory!
I can' t accept it.
This is too much.
Chui, just accept it.
Make good use of it and save the world.
Yes, my lord! I' ll not let you down.
To our lord!
Come on, to our lord!
Bottoms up!
My sect is about to lead a war against your father.
It will be a fierce one.
My father' s corps is doomed.
I suppose it' ll be the last war for him.
In two years, the world will regain peace.
And you, Chang Mo-Kei, will no longer be the lord of Parseeists.
Are you really willing to give up what you have?
I' d give up anything for you, my dear.
Hey, jerk! Why did you write my name on it?
Well.
You promised to do 3 things for me, remember?
One was to let me see the Dragon Sabre.
You did it.
The second one was to cancel your wedding in Haozhou City.
You did it, too.
Now there' s one last thing.
You must fulfill your promise.
OK, naughty girl. What queer thing do you want from me?
Just name it.
Let me think.
Well, my eyebrows are tint.
Would you pencil them for me?
Hey, this is not against your moral principle.
No problem. I' ll pencil your eyebrows every day.
Mo-Kei.
You promised to do one thing for me, too.
What you want me to do for you?
I haven' t come up with an idea yet.
However, when it' s time you and Miss Chiu got married
maybe I will come up with a great idea.
