What is the thing really matters in war?
To some extent
It’s just about “man”
Our 8th Route Army
are good at finding the man
and the way he can do his best
That’s all for today
Mr. Qiu
Have you thought of something?
What?
What if this Weiguo Zhou you want
Is better than you?
What will you do?
Better than me?

And I will be his deputy
Mr. Wu. As long as I’m allowed to fight the Japs
I can be a normal soldier!
Brave men in Cold Breeze Village

Army in Mount Hutou.Please tell your master.

Bring them in
Yes, master.
Go, hurry up. Move
Morning! Brave men in Cold Breeze Village
Presuming you are the master Mr.Zhu, right?
I’m the master here, Ziming Zhu
Nice to meet you
Here is the thing, some days ago
Our brothers in Cold Breeze Village
Ambushed the Japs in Thin Strip of Sky
They really helped us
Our company commander are highly admire
the man who can really fight the Japs
So he sent us three people to come
and represent the 8th Route Army in Mount Hutou
to see you brave men here
One is to express our gratitude
And also want to make friends
with our brothers in Cold Breeze Village
I’ll introduce myself. I’m the commander of
the 3rd company, Independent regiment,Guangrong Xu
All right, all right. Enough about the past
Let me introduce you…
Disarmed them!
Yes, master!
Freeze!
Mater, this is…
Long time no see, Company commander Xu
Brother Zhou?

‘ there is only the tail of the sunset’
‘bring my thoughts to the lover far away’
Wen
‘Pack up my things, and get on the trip ’
‘sometimes, we are the same’
‘struggling and looking for the direction’
‘as time goes, we start to learn this world’
Wen! Wen!
Wen! Wen! Wen!
‘I think we must be strong’
I’m Weiguo Zhou
What happened to you?
Why you are like this?
Like what?
My uniform
Can make me fight the Japs better
than you people in that uniform
Wen
Comrade Yi Chen!
Wen
Comrade Weiguo Zhou, here is the thing
Our 8th route Army
We do really fight the Japs
I did wrong last time
when you were there
please, please forgive me, all right?
Company commander Xu, let him go
Let’s forget that thing in Mount Hutou
Cause our Cold Breeze Village
is always a place with courtesy
And maybe also I need to thank you
If it’s not because of you
How can I meet my nice brothers here?
Tell me am I right?
Big bro
He is the one I told you before
Who?
He put us in the prison
when we were in Mount Hutou
Seems he want us killed
Company commander Xu, tell me
What do you want here exactly?
OK, I will say straight
I came to invite you brothers in
Cold Breeze Village to join our 8th Route Army
And fight the Japs together
After all
We can fight them without you people
I just remembered
Few days ago, in Village Yang
You almost killed our second master
and our other bros
What the hell are you up to?
No, no. Master
You really get me wrong
Second master, let your
big brother help you do it
Bros, tie him up
- Tie up! – Yes, master
No, master, master!
Leave me alone
Wait
Big brother, let them go
Didn’t you hear that?
Let him go
Weiguo Zhou
Weiguo Zhou, I got you wrong
Do you remember you asked me
why I help you out in Mount Hutou?
You don’t know that answer?
Because you are a hero against the Japs
Our company commander Xu
take us to come here today
So you will see our 8th Route Army
Is not only an army which really fight the Japs
and also capable of correct our mistakes
Doctor Fan
How is Shucheng Xu?
Oh, you didn’t forget him?
He’s fine, our organization will take care of him
We already got the shrapnel out
There’s no need for you to worry
Please tell him
If he needs any help to fight the Japs
Just let me know
Tell him yourself
It’s not my business
Wen
It’s been five years
Although we chose different paths
we still got on a same path
The Anti-Janpanese Nation United Front
Go
Wen
You must have been through a lot in those years
But I can feel that
you don’t want to talk about it
It’s so nice to see you again
Big brother
See them off
Do you hear our second master?
See them out
Yes, master
Go
Wen
Hurry up
Wen, Wen
Weiguo Zhou
He is really a scoundrel!
An ungrateful villain!
Regiment commander, we failed our mission
Forget it
Anything else?
Regiment commander
Weiguo Zhou want me to bring some word to Mr.Liu
Said if he needs any help to fight the Japs
Just let him know
I think, although he said he is not interested
in join our 8th Route Amry
But there is still a chance
Sorry, comrade Yi Chen
Excuse me
I can’t hold it any longer
Regiment commander, please let me report
This Weiguo Zhou is really too rude!
He accept the ammo we sent
and tied us immediately
Right, I made a mistake in the past
But not this time
I just tell him they thing you told me
To express our gratitude, make an apology
And what did he do?
He came out of the line
All right, you’re already tired
- Go back and have some rest – Commander
Enough, let me think about it
OK. Go back
Yes, commander
Ok, go back
Sister Yi Chen. How long have you
and Weiguo Zhou known each other?
We are classmates in Shanghai Fudan University
What did he like at that time?
Also this bad?
I don’t know
You and him
What?
Why you suddenly got hemmed?
You and him, I suppose you weren’t
just normal classmates, right?
What are you talking about?
Come on, I’m not a fool
The way you look at him
What’s about that?
We’re just classmates
It’s just we were told
he was executed five years ago.
So I’m astonished
when I see him today.
That’s all
Stop imagine things
All right, since you say so
I will believe what you said
Who is that?
Yi Chen, it’s me
Yi Chen
Come in
Hi
Oh, Xiaoyu
Brought you some flowers
I picked when we were training
You two continue, I got casualties to check
Sit
Yi Chen, I heard
the brigand thing didn’t go very well
Yeah, if that brigand can
join us that easy,
they were not brigand at all
Don’t take it personally
Yi Chen, what’s that?
Nothing
I just got a feeling that you…
Do you know who is the second master
of the Cold Breeze Village?
Who is that?
Wen Zhou
What?
You are saying that second master is Wen Zhou?
He is called Weiguo Zhou now
He , he is dead!
No
I didn’t tell anybody about it
They trade him out with a sentenced inmate
He came to me once after he was out
But disappeared the day after that
Yi Chen, did you report this to our organization
when we join the communist party?
No, because it will cause trouble for
all the people who were in the rescue mission
So you are saying the fight at the thin
strip of shy were under Wen Zhou’s command?
Right
I never thought he survived
He must have been through a lot
Yi Chen
Did he tell anything when you meet him?
Nothing
He seems quite cold
But I can feel that
Lots of things have happened to him.
Must be. Our country is bleeding
so personal misery is not surprised
But see from that
Wen Zhou is really a good soldier
Regiment commander is right
If we do can persuade him to join us
It will be a very good thing
- You really think so? – of course
The only weakness is his personality is too tough
If we really made it
I will help him with it
But he turned us down
If he came with you immediately
It won’t be him
Chu Zhang, I’m a little tired
I want to stay alone for a while
All right, see you then
I never thought of that
The girls in the 8th Route
are that beautiful
I think the two are both nice
You’re right
Second master, the way the
girls looking at you is quite different
which one do you like?
Mr. Wu, what do you know?
He like them both
That’s easy
Grab some weapons
Go and get them together for him
What do you say?
It’s just a word, Second master
I will take some bros
Go and get them for you
If we had the two girls in our village
Our bros are like
What's the smell?
Like the Kitchen God stick up his ass
Proud to heaven!
Not go to the heaven, it’s just my fart
You moron, drink your wine and hold your fart
Drink drink
Fuck off!
fuck off
What’s that?
Why is this coming?
Fuck off, all of you
He… second master means
Go and get them!
Step aside
Just a second, second master
I will get them
I love you
If we can survive from this
We will never apart from each other
Never
She married Chu Zhang once we are graduated
Yi Chen, why you still awake
Regiment commander, I had a thing
I want to report it
All right, come here, sit
You have things
which is not convenient to say just now, right?
How do you know that?
You little girl
I have been you superior
since you join the 8th Route
Of course I know you got something on mind
Tell me, what’s that
Regiment commander, that Weiguo Zhou
I know him. He is my classmates
when we were in Fudan University
Also Chu Zhang’s classmates
His name is Weiguo Zhou at that time
Wen Zhou
When we were in school, we…
He likes you?
Yes, I like him, too.
So so you two
After that, many things happened
It’s been five years since we see each other
I thought he was…
I never thought we
meet again in this kind of circumstance
You never know
You didn’t look for him all these years?
I lose all the contact with the past
once I was graduated
I got it. You really give up a lot
It’s been five years. I can tell
He must have been through a lot
I couldn’t believe
that Wen Zhou is the old Weiguo Zhou
Comrade Yi Chen, Since the time
we devote ourselves to the revolution
We have already give up all about ourselves
But I can totally understand
your feelings
I think
The fight at the thin strip of sky
Proves that
he is a true hero
And it is also saying
You didn’t see him wrong at that time
But I feel it’s such a loss
that he didn’t want to join us
Regiment commander, I’m so useless
No it’s nothing to do with you
We have already discussed
This time we will make Yuan Liu
talk to Weiguo Zhou again
Xiaoyu, have you got all
you mission in city Yuezhou
Yeah
First, go and see Mr.Xu
on behalf of you and all the other comrades here
second, is the Weiguo Zhou thing
All right, comrade Jie Zhao
You must take the medicinal material
safely back this time
I promise I will complete my mission
Xiaoyu
You go with Jie Zhao’s team
You can take care on the way
All right
Jie Zhao, take care
Count on me, commander
- Get it start - Yes, sir
- Brother – Big brother
Why you are drinking alone here
Not even with a snack
I will tell them to get some
And join you drinking together
Big brother, don’t brother,sit
Brother, what’s on your mind?
Nothing
You have something for me, right?
It’s still the 8th Route thing
Oh, that
The 8th Route just want we join them
Don’t take it to heart
Brother the 8th Route
Recently brothers are talking that
we have meat and wine here
if we join the 8th Route
we can save it for the dream
Brother, are you thinking about that?
Don’t forget that
The 8th Route almost kill me.Big brother,
I want to go downhill for several days
To where?
I have a brother who got wounded in city Yuezhou
He wrote me a letter
I want go there and see him
Brother
You know city Yuezhou
is under the Japs’ control now
I’ll take Hu Xu with me, no big deal
All right, since you have decided
I’ll send Laoer Lansan with you
If anything goes wrong
You can help each other
All right, thanks big brother
There’s no need between us
Brother, when you get to the city door
You must hide your guns
We got our own man in the city
If you want anything, just find them
All right, I’ll leave it to Laoer
You see that tea house?
Wait me there
All right, second master, take care
Let’s go
Mr. Xu, here
Have some water
Thanks
Suppose he should already got my letter
Relax, you are that close
He will come to see you
Wen
Brother Zhou
Have some water
Come and sit
How’s that?
You finally came to see me
You don’t know how boring am I
during these days in bed
when will they come back?
Laosan excuse me for a second
Where are you going?
I have to take care something
I feel so sorry about your leaving
It’s just we made different choice
Different choice? Three years in military school
Two years in Germany
So you can come back and become a bandit?
Sorry about that
It’s nothing
Mr.Xu
Actually, we can’t blame him for it all
It’s all because of our chief of staff Li,
So he leave Mount Hutou
Yong Li?
Right, he shouldn’t caught brother Zhou
The communist and nationalist
have already working together
But he still so hostility about
brother Zhou just because he is a nationalist
We can’t blame him for that either
The two party have fought against
each other for years
It’s normal to get little hostile
All right, Wen
Let’s see that as a misunderstanding
You are welcome to join our 8th Route Army
I wish you can come
I am fine in Cold Breeze Village
I don’t think
You will spent all your life there
Wen, since the 7 Jule incident
We lost our lands
People lost their faith, our country is in danger
Our 8th Route Amry is really fight with the Japs
Although we were short and poor in equipments
but we have people
we have faith
to kick the Japs out of our country
You can’t stay in the
Cold Breeze Village forever
I’ll consider about what you said
All right
OK, I have to go
All right, when I’m all recuperated
I will come to you
Have more rest, take care
- Brother Zhou, take care – All right
Waiter
Fresh fruit, have a look
Regiment commander Huang, you came,
look it’s very fresh
- Nice, get some – All right
How much?
Regiment commander, it’s free, free
You are a smart guy
Serve him well
So you will have no trouble here
All right
That’s right
Regiment commander Huang, safe back
Morning, regiment commander
Please come this way
Second master
Where is Shoutian?
He’s out, I don’t know what’s he up to
He didn’t tell me anything
Still not back
Let’s go, hurry
Shoutian
Shoutian, where have you been?
Brothers, borrow your ammo for some time
What for?
Second master
If our head master ask about me
Just tell him

I have to get it done today
And tell the other brothers
If I didn’t return, just forget me
Tell me, what the hell is that thing?
Second master
Do you know how I came to our village?
I didn’t hear that
It’s five years ago
An evil officer made me lose everything I have
Including my wife’s death
I have no other choice
Luckily I met our big brother
I came to our village with this debt in heart
which I couldn’t let it go
Finally,
Finally the bastards run into my hand
Where is this guy?
In Yuezhou safeguard regiment
This son of a bitch seems
to be a regiment commander or so
Second master,
Just give me your gun
I will got my own revenge
You can’t go to the safeguard regiment
Second master, all these years
the thing is keeping me alive is this debt
I will get it done today
The only way to stop me
is putting a bullet in my head
Shoutian
- Are you serious? – Yes

Second master
What is your hesitating? Lead the way

All right, I have told you
all the instruction from the superior
Any news about the Japs?
we just got that
Some people breaking to the safeguard regiment
in Yueyang few days ago
We heard the regiment office is all down
And dozens of soldiers were killed
Guess who did that?
- The Cold Breeze Village. – Again?
It’s Weiguo Zhou and his bro
I heard just four of them
taken down dozens of traitors
Really? Are you sure?
It’s Weiguo Zhou, definitely
Last time the fight at the thin sky of shy
The Japs are looking for them
Since we knew it’s from
the Cold Breeze Village
So the Japs will find it out too
