Duping.
Go to the boat and wait for me for a bit, okay?
Okay.
Master Ying. Thank you.
I wish you two happiness.
2nd Mater Zuo, thank you.
-Jinxiu. -Have you really decided to go to Hong Kong?
While you're there, you're not familiar with the place.
While you're on your own, you'll have to take good care of yourself.
I've done so much so that I can be together with him.
When we get to Hong Kong, it doesn't matter how hard life is,
How tiring it will be, at least...
I am with him.
How bad can the worst be?
The worst would just to become a dancer hostess again.
But at least this relationship, we can have an ending.
I'm satisfied.
Really.
I won't regret it.
No matter what, remember to write letters me.
Take good care of yourself, okay?
Okay. Jinxiu. You take good care of yourself too.
I don't even know how long you can stay in Mei-Hua Company.
So I'll send the letters to 2nd Master Zuo.
Okay. I'll get going.
Take care.
-Farewell. -Farewell.
Good bye.
Bye bye.
I have an appointment. I'll be going first.
I...
You go first.
Let's go eat.

This crowd of people, experience a few foreign stuff and think they are educated,
and think of themselves as high class.
Does it make you feel awkward?
I don't feel that way. Do you?
Then that's good. Who cares about them?
As long as we're happy with ourselves.
Regarding Anna's thing, I want to thank you.
You know that the way we resolved it was wrong.
But seeing Anna's love towards Duping, I felt really touched.
When I saw Anna giving her all for Duping,
I really can't not help her.
Because I don't want to see such a strong love be destroyed just like that.
Even though everything was a mess in the end,
They showed me what true love is.
Going through any kind of obstacles.
You were right. With real love,
One can overcome any kind of lies or deception.
I say, you...
If you don't have such a bad temper,
You're a pretty good person.
Anna's thing, good thing you were there.
Thank you.
If there was a pair of chopsticks, that would be great.
Can you get me a pair of chopsticks?
Oh It's okay. I was kidding.
Thank you. I don't need it.
I'm not joking, you don't have to please anyone.
With me here, you can do whatever you want.
I want...
To go to the restroom.
No need to thank me.
Who wants to thank you? I wanted to learn it myself.
As long as you're willing,
You'll never have to cut meat yourself, in your life.
Eat slowly, no one is taking it from you.
2nd Master Zuo, this zephyr song is not bad, have a listen.
Boss Chang, you asked me here is not just to listen to music, right?
I've specially invited you here to talk about business and not just listen to the music.
There's an batch of cargo that will arrive at Shanghai today.
I wish to use your port to import the goods
Then I will give you this sum of money.
Boss Chang, you're so generous
I wonder what goods are those?
You should know my rules since you're wanting to use my port.
Dont worry, its definitely legal business.
They are porcelains from the North.
I can assure you that they are legal and permitted.
Tanghai. You shall handle this shipment.
Yes 2nd Master.
Then I shall thank you in advance.
Come, I'll give you a toast.
Boss, the ladies are here.
Go accompany him, talk to him and dance with him.
Wang Mama, my tummy hurts.
I'm afraid I can't accompany him.
Hey, what's wrong with her?
Giving us a long face?
I'm sorry, I'll change to another one right away.
I'm sorry 2nd Master Zuo.
This lady is quite tough and stubborn.
There are rules here.
When you're beaten, if you were to shout for help,
The punishment will be doubled.
Tanghai. Go redeem and buy this lady's freedom,
Yes.
You're actually cold-blooded, heartless and unappreciative.
Why must you act like you're a kind and helpful person
I don't want your help, I don't need you to get me out.
You know me?
If not for you,
I wouldn't be here.
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have landed myself in such a state.
Is it here?
Master.. Why are you...
You bitch.
I've given you money to take care of your life and retire.
Not to hide here and smoke weed,
2nd Master, you've remembered now.
You still have a right hand man who doesn't mind losing his life.
You bitch, shut your foul mouth.
I'm still gong to say it.
If it wasn't my dad who has taken the bullet for you, you would have been dead
If not for that bullet, my father wouldn't have to...
Use drugs to stop the pain he's experiencing right now due to the cold weather.
And he wouldn't have gotten addicted to such a stuff.
He ended up selling his plot of land,
and to the point of selling his daughter.
While you, you're not only living your great life.
Huangpu Shuanghui Chamber of Commerce, 2nd Master Zuo's name is called out...
Half of Shanghai would have shivered.
You don't even know how many lives and hard work of the men it took to land you here.
You still have the cheek to reprimand my father?
You have no right to.
All these are caused by you, caused by you!
You bitch. Stop talking nonsense.
Bring him back with me to Ning Yuan.
I'm not going.
2nd Master, it's this bastard,
who has caused a ruckus at our port.
I've sent him to check on the goods, yet he was addicted to drugs,
Not only did he not do his job, he had also stolen Mr Xiang's goods.
He wanted to go to the drugs store and exchange the goods for drugs.
If we have not found out earlier, the reputation of our port would have been tarnished.
All along, there has been drug dealers,
I'm sure you've known it and there's a limit to it.
The old men are usually smoking it, but recently in the market,
I'm not sure where these huge load of opium came from.
Surprisingly, the price is lower by half compared to other drugs.
Those who were not addicted are now addicted.
Check all the subordinates' ports.
Don't let the whole of Shanghai become addicted to drugs.
Our ports, our comrades,
Will not touch a single drug.
Yes.
2nd Master, 2nd Master it's all my fault,
What has happened today was my fault,
It was me.
I'm willing to take the punishment.
You're my brother.
But when you're wrong, I still have to punish you.
I'm punishing you for your own good.
I want you to kick back your addiction.
Lock him up.
2nd Master, 2nd Master, I'm wrong,
2nd Master!
Find Miss Jinxiu, quick!
I'll hand over the situation to you.
Let me out! Let me out!
Lao-Ma.
2nd Master, seeing that we're brothers,
Just let me go.
I can...
but I promise, you're my brother...
Forever.
Good.
Then, since you regard me as your brother.
Then you should release me now.
This can help kick your addition.
I.. I won't smoke drugs again.
I'll kick it away slowly on my own.
There's no easy way to kick the addition.
I want to smoke weeds. Give them to me.
I won't quit it. Give it to me!
2nd Master, I"m begging you.
If I don't smoke it, I will die.
I seriously will die.
Lao-Ma, I know you're suffering right now.
But no matter how painful it is, bear with it.
Think of Xiaotao.
When she first held your hands,
Entered my territory and asked me for candy.
Do you still remember her face back then?
You told me that you wanted her to go to school.
Once you've earned enough money,
You'll send her abroad to study.
And you want your ancestors to witness,
That you, such a bum,
Can raise an educated girl.
But what about now,
Look at Xiaotao right now and her predicament,
2nd Master,
Since you're calling me your 2nd Master,
I won't let you go on like this.
I promise you
As long as you're willing to stay here honestly.
Everything will be better.
I wont! Let me out!
Let me out!
I've saved you back then.
How can you be so ungrateful.
You're inhuman.
You're a rubbish and a bastard.
Let me out, let me out!
Quick, let me out!
Let me out!
Zuozhen, Zuozhen!
Zuozhen.
What are you doing here?
Weren't you the one who asked me to come?
Have you hurt your hand again?
Let me out , let me out!
Let me out, let me out!
Quick.
Let me out, let me out!
Let me out!
What's wrong with you? Why are you getting hurt so frequently?
Are you uneasy if you're not hurt somewhere?
None of your concern.
Of course its not in my capacity to care.
Don't stop drinking, you have a wound now and still drink.
Are you regarding your body as an iron block.
Okay, you're naggy like an old lady.
What happened just now?
He's my brother.
Brother?
You've locked your brothers in a cage?
How can you lock a human being in a cage?
You're so inhuman.
He's neither a ghost nor human now.
I don't have to be humane.
If you don't regard them as humans, they are then neither ghosts nor humans.
I do not know whats on your mind.
But you're locking someone up in the cage like an animal.
Aren't you too ruthless?
I'm just afraid that I'm not ruthless enough.
You're so unreasonable and I'm going to ignore you.

Slow, put it here..
Mr Tang
Stop right there everyone.
2nd Master's ordered to check every single item.
- Whose goods are these? - They're Mr Chang's porcelains.
Open it up.
How dare he.
Move all of them back. None of them shall land here
- Understood? - Yes
What are you doing?
What are you doing? I've had a deal with 2nd Master Zuo.
I'm landing my goods at his port.
Why are you doing this? Going back on your words?
Mr Chang, you've told 2nd Master that you're importing porcelain.
But you did not mention the opium that comes along.
Our 2nd Master has said
He shall not handle any drugs at his port.
Then we shall handle them.
I don't care about anything else.
Find 2nd Master if you have any objections.
Fine Zuozhen.
Zuozhen.
I've heard that you've confiscated Mr Chang's goods.
Mr Feng, please be the judge and talk reason.
I've paid a huge sum of money,
He has promised me at the start
How can Huangpu Chamber of Commerce be so unreasonable?
Don't be angry Mr Chang.
Our 2nd Master Zuo is capable,
This sum of money is nothing to him.
All these beautiful silvers
Throw them out.
Drugs kill and harm people, Teacher.
There are many brothers who are addicted to it.
If we were to not deal with this issue,
- I'm afraid... - What are you saying...
Teaching your men well is your own problem.
Don't hinder our fortune with your incapability.
Zuozhen.
I shall make the final call,
Release those goods.
Return them to him.
Thank you Mr Feng.
Did you hear my words?
Zuozhen, we indeed have to protect our brothers,
But not according to your way.
Plus, we have so many men under us
They are dependent on the Wharf for their livelihood.
Isn't it all business regardless of the goods shipped?
As to the men under your command,
Look at them, if they aren't well,
If you're lacking manpower,
I can transfer some over to you.
Drive the foolish addicts away.
Drive then out and forget about it
What Old Master said is right.
Master Zuo, you can meddle in one thing,
but can you meddle in everything?
How about this, I'll be generous.
Let my subordinates help you.
As long as he is my brother for one day,
Then I will meddle in his business forever.
So miserable.
2nd Master, these are the brothers from the wharf who are addicts.
2nd Master.
It's all my fault. I didn't...
I'm sorry. All the years you've looked after me.
But my addition is flaring up.
I really can't endure this.
Please give me some money.
Let me...let me just smoke a few puffs.
Let me smoke a bit, even if you ask me to die I'm willing.
Would you please, I'm begging you!
2nd Master I'm begging you.
2nd Master.
There will be a day,
when I'll take all the drugs.
and ship them out of Shanghai.

Why are you asking me for?
Can I ask you for a favour?
Seriously?
You, grand 2nd Master Zuo, are asking me for a favour?
No need, let me ask you instead.
What can I do for you?
How can I help you, my lord?
Help cure the additions for my brothers.
They are addicted to drugs.
I locked them up.
And kept them away from drugs.
I thought it could help and they would suffer for only a few days.
But this drug addition is different from others.
A few days has passed and it hasn't worked.
If I'd to ask another doctor to cure them,
once the person know they are from the chamber of commerce
he may not try his best.
You are the only person I can trust, Jinxiu!
Please, help me with this.
Ok,
I'll help you then.
This...
I misunderstood you before.
I'll appologise to you.
I'll try my best
Thank you.

♫People change without you noticing,why did it disappear?♫
Don't move.
I haven't slept for a couple of days.
I'm tired.
♫ Love taught me compromises ♫
♫ Everything done with will. ♫
Jinxiu. Do you know?
When the brothers who has been through thick and thin with you,
Is damaged and dies in front of you,
when you can't do anything.
That kind of feeling.
♫ Staying by my side. ♫
♫ The fickle world is called, things have changed with the passing of time. ♫
How would I not know?
Father and mother died in front of me like that.
And I couldn't do anything.
I can't even avenge them.
I've been ignorant.
How could you know?
Just sleep peacefully.
I'll call you when we're at Ning Yuan.
This is the first time I realized,
That this man, as stable as a mountain and as cold as ice,
Also has such a soft heart.
But because of his career,
For his brothers,
He has to be strong.
But he's riddled with scars.
He was poisoned the longest, and probably the hardest to heal.
Plus he was locked up by you guys these days with no food or water.
His body and spirit will both be affected.
I'll make some sachets with Chinese herbs. It can calm his nerves.
When in need, take his family here.
They can watch over and take care of him.
At least it will avoid a mental breakdown.
When you finish making it, I'll send someone over to get it.
Tang Hai, on the way, get Ah Bei.
Yes 2nd Master.
What's so good about opium?
So many people hurt.
One can't touch what he shouldn't touch.
If one touches it, he needs to prepare for the consequences.
Ah-Tao.
Father is sorry.
I've made you suffered.
Father, it's okay.
I don't blame you.
This time, after you endure this,
In the future, let's live life well.
Master Zuo.
Is our savior.
In the future,
You'll have to repay him well for me.
Yes.
Brother Tang Hai.
I want to take a walk outside.
Will you give me a hand?
Father, what are you doing?
You traitor! For a piece of drug, you even dare to hold a gun up to 2nd Master.
Lao Ma.
Put down the gun.
Give up on the drug,
You are still my good brother.
2nd Master. I'm so sorry.
I won't smoke it.
I won't smoke it anymore.
Lao Ma.
Father. Father.
Father.
ChangSan Whalf
What does that mean?
Who dares to take Old Master's goods?
Master Long Si, Hao Ke already went to give a notice to 2nd Master.
2nd Master will be here immediately.
Come my butt!
We don't need to wait.
-Get the goods. -Who dares to take the goods when 2nd Master is not present?
2nd Master, LongSi took people to the dock to get the opium.
MaZiLiu is sticking to your word and not letting them.
I think that, LongSi, this time, will not go away.
Lao Ma.
I will go take revenge for you right now.
It's so late, how come he hasn't come yet?
He's pretty stubborn.
Making me very unhappy.
Go.

Xiao Liu Zi, it's been hard on you.
2nd Master came right in time.
Just now, your subordinate wasn't being obedient.
I helped you train them a little.
You came here to get the goods right?
Yes. Boss Chang's goods.
Tang Hai.
The wharf's 4th regulation.
Any of the wharf, as part of our group.
Under no circumstance are to imported or exported opium.
If any are found, they will be destroyed or confiscated.
and you will be punished severely.
Have you heard it and understood?
The rule is dead but the person is alive.
The Old Master even agreed, what's the use of that stupid paper?
This rule about drugs,
Once I've taken over all the wharf in the group, was a rule I personally drawn up.
If anyone dares to break this rule,
Would be declaring to be my enemy.
Zouzhen.
You are disobeying Old Master.
Okay.
Zouzhen.
Whatever you have to say, say it to the Old Master personally.
Let's go.
From today on,
If we find another person importing drugs,
We won't let it go.
I am willing to forgive all crimes,
But I beg that you would ban drugs.
Old Master, Zou Zhen even dares to do such a thing.
He didn't put you in his eyes at all.
This time, we can't let him go.
Zouzhen, don't blamed Teacher for being ruthless.
Huangpu Chamber of Commerce has its rules.
Today's matters.
Can't avoid punishment.
We are willing to take punishment on behalf of 2nd Master.
What are you guys doing?
Is this what you call taking punishment?
You guys are forcing Old Master into this?
Do you guys even have the Old Master in your eyes anymore?
All of you rise!
Enough.
Okay.
I'll let you go today because of everyone here today.
But, business has its own rules.
Rules, can't be broken.
Zouzhen awaiting punishment.
Give half of the wharf's you're in charge of,
To Long Si.
I don't want the wharf. That place is messy and smelly.
If you are going to give, then give me the casinos and warehouses.
Are you willing to give?
I'll give it up.
The Dormitory.
Zouzhen.
Why are you so late?
2nd master, I will never smoke it again.
Thank you.
Release me. Release me.

2nd Master, there were another two who didn't make it through.
Get the car.
Little girl.
You're not selling flowers, why are you crying?
Today, I didn't sell any flowers. I'm not capable of selling them.
They'll be all bad by tonight.
And I won't have money to buy medicine for my mom.
First give me the flowers.
Wipe down your tears.
All your flowers today,
I'll buy them all.
Okay?
Mister. I don't need this much money.
Just take it.
Thank you. Thank you Mister.
Master Ying
For you.
This flower, must be really expensive.
Don't worry about its price. As long as you like it. What?
You're receiving flowers and you still look so down.
There has been some upsetting things going on recently.
That's perfect,
Let's go watch a movie.
Currently, there's a pretty good new film,
Called Wild Roses, starring JinYe and WangRenMei.
This Master Ying is not very realistic.
He even dares to fight over a girl with you.
Do you want me to drive after them?
It's fine.
♫ Forget this cold battle a few times♫
♫ The outside sky is darkening slowly. ♫
How can people in there move?
Is it your first time watching a movie?
It's on fire. It's on fire!
Sorry, sorry.
Don't be scared. Don't be scared. It's fake. It's all fake.

Zouzhen.
I have somethings I need to say to you.
What is it exactly? You look so serious.
First look for somewhere to sit.
I thought I remembered there was clearly a flower vase here.
Can you first take a seat?
Wait for me a bit.
Can you first not worry about this trashy bouquet?
Sit down.
Talk.
Weren't you just in a hurry to talk?
Now I'm letting you talk and you're not talking.
Talk.
You know, Master Ying took me out to watch a movie today.
Through all my years, I've never watched a movie.
It was so interesting. People in there moved.
In the middle of the performance, there was even a fire.
It felt like the fire was real.
It gave me a little scare and I screamed a bit.
Good thing Master Yinh didn't mind, or else I would feel like I was being embarrassing.
Master Ying is so great.
Enough.
You only know Master Ying. Master Ying.
Yes.
He is the young master of the Xiang Family.
He will always be under the light.
He is stable, pure and kind.
Not like me.
Who will forever live in a dark corner you are ashamed of.
I'm not looking down on you.
I'm not going to talk to you anymore.
It doesn't matter if you want to listen or not.
I have to say it.
Do you know why I wanted to look for you today?
Because I'm very upset.
I'm really upset.
Two of my good brothers died under poison today.
-Do you understand? -Zouzhen.
You're hurting me. My hand is in pain.
I don't know what to say.
I don't understand your situation. I can't relate.
Rong Jinxiu.
I just want you to stay in my world.
You can't escape.
Don't I wish for her to always stay in the light?
How can I let her live in the mist of danger?
I won't let anyone hurt you.
