The world belongs to you,
and it also belongs to us.
Coming to the root of the matter, the world is yours.
The Four Seas are rising, the clouds and waters are raging. [ A portion of a Chinese poem 'The Red River' - An Ode to Chairman Mao by Comrade Guo. ]
The Five Continents are vibrating to the fierce wind and thunder![ 'Five Continents' is a reference to the world. ]
You are like the sun in the 8 o'clock morning.
Hope is found in you.
Professor Chen.
It's all over.
Chu Jian!
Brother Hu, you are still alive.
Brother Hu, we thought you can't make it back.
Xiao Chu, what happened to you after that?
What? You wanted us, together with Ye Yixin,
to bring water and leave the underground river.
We came up to look for Anliman and waited for you here.
We didn't think that you could be alive.
When the black sandstorm was here, we had no choice but to leave.
Where's Xiao Ye?
She's much better after she has drank some water.
She...She's there.
Right, she's there.
The East wind blows, the drums beat. In this world now, who is actually afraid of whom?[ A portion of a revolutionary song. ]
Professor!
To count the best of legendary figures,[ The ending part of a poem by Chairman Mao. ]
- Professor.- We have to look at the talents of today.
What's wrong with you.
Professor.
Sister Yang.
Xiao Ye?
Old Hu, what's going on?
Do you have water?
I'll go look for it.
Professor.
Everything's alright now.
Old Hu, there's no more water.
They have been left behind during the sandstorm.
Old Hu.
Can you hear me?
- What's the matter?- There's no more water.
Professor, what's wrong with you?
The sandstorm has changed the course of the desert.
Even the camels have lost their direction.
Old man.
You must think of something.
Otherwise the whole team...
Let's walk to the west.
There's an oil field in the west. We may survive this.
But we can't ride the camels anymore.
They can't take it anymore.
Alright.

Old Hu.
How many days have we walked?
Not many.
How many days is that?
Almost, we are almost there.
Don't lie to me.
I know we can't get out of here.
Everyday when I open my eyes, I see the desert.
When I close my eyes, it's still the desert.
I really can't walk any longer.
I can't hold on anymore, Old Hu.
Little revolutionary soldier, just hold on a bit more.
There's victory when we persevere.
I can't persevere anymore.
Old Hu, I can't walk out of here anymore.
You must walk out of here
and wait for the victory of the revolution.
Don't forget to tell me.
Hold out a bit more.
Walk.
I...
What's wrong, Fatty?
What's wrong?
- Brother Wang.- Fatty.
Wake up.
Fatty, wake up.
Old Hu, I can't.
I can't walk anymore.
I can't walk out of here.
No matter how I walk,
even if I don't die, I'll be sunfried into a dry corpse.
Wake up.
Get up.
What's the matter with him?
He's alright. Walk.
In the end, it's me who brought this to everyone.
We are in this together.
Don't say anything about you implicating us anymore.
Everyone is the same.
I'm different from all of you.
What's the difference?
Just because you are an American?
I belong to Zhagelama race.
You are still joking at this time.
I'm not joking.
My mother is a descendant of the Zhagelama race.
Our ancestors
wanted to find out about the secret of the ghost cave,
and was cursed in the end.
Because of this curse,
all the descendants can't live past 50 years old.
This is why I insisted on searching for the ancient city of Jingjue.
So as to break the curse
to save my mother,
and to save the future me.
You know about this all this while.
Then why didn't you tell us earlier?
Even if I tell you, you won't believe me.
So that's why the fire bug can't harm you.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Did you see it?
This is a sign of the curse of the Zhagelama tribe.
My mother also has one.
Hu Bayi!
Old Hu, look! White camel!
White camel is a sacred animal.
With it appearing in the desert, it goes to show that the curse is broken.
The heavens has taken back this desert.
Follow it!
- The three armed services greet and salute.- Hurry!
We can find water when we follow the white camel.
Go up the camels.
Quick, Sa Dipeng.
This is so miraculous. Thank your God for protecting us.
The heavens have blessed us!
The boundless vista is at the perilous peak![ Proverb meaning exhilaration follows a hard-won victory. ]
- Don't drink.- Don't drink, Fatty.
Don't drink.
Professor.
- Sa Dipeng.- Don't be so anxious.
Go get a bucket.
- It's too bitter.- Old Hu.
Wait for it to dissolve before drinking.
Professor.
Professor, you have to wait a while.
Wait a while, Professor.
You can only drink this later.
Thank you, white camel.
Thank you the heavens for sending the white camel to save me the second time.
Thank you for removing the curse of the black sandstorm.
This water puddle is an act of your miracle.
I'll always remember this gracious act of yours.
You can drink now.
Professor.
Hold him back.
Slowly.
Old Hu, I don't want to move at all.
Grasp the revolution. Promote production.[ One of the guiding principles used in slogans propagated during the Cultural Revolution. ]
Prepare against the war, prepare against natural disasters, for the people![ The most often used and most popular slogan propagated during Chairman Mao's era. ]
Could this be a mirage?
Over here!
Fatty, gun.
We have thrown away the gun. We don't have guns now.
We are here!
Ten thousand years is too long, seize the moment now!
- Ten thousand years is too long, seize the moment now!- Professor! Professor!
Ten thousand years is too long,
seize the moment now!
This seems like a dream.
Right, if we tell others what happened,
they would think it's some ridiculous tales.
We are here!
Here! We are here!
Here!
Old Hu, we are saved now.
We are here!
We are finally back in Beijing.
I readily accept the investigation from the relevant authorities.
Many things had happened in this journey.
Whether it's hallucination or reality,
it's difficult to say for sure.
I can't figure out at all for some.
Evidence regarding the archaeological expedition to Xinjiang desert.
That lampstand, that jade and gold...
why didn't I take them all?
Be gentle. That's an antique.
This is an antique?
I'm telling you, Master Jin,
you didn't see those gold, silver and bronze artifacts in the tomb,
one whole mountain of gold.
How do I describe it?
That scene lingers in my mind.
I'm telling you, that small lampstand,
how should I describe it? Sediment.
That color must be sedimented over time.
The huge taro on the stone pilllar.
It was so fresh.
I really didn't have time back then.
If I had time, I would have just pulled off any bit,
those are really rare. If I bring them back and plant them, how much money would I earn?
Master Fatty, I just want to ask one question.
What did you actually bring back from the trip?
Didn't you hear what I said just now?
- I heard.- What did I say?
Hallucination.
I'm not talking to you about hallucination.
What I'm saying is that mountain of gold.
Master Fatty, I'm asking you what did you bring back?
The archaeological team is there, what can I bring back?
Then why didn't Master Hu come here with you?
Didn't I tell you, he's writing at home and he's under investigation?
Why is there still investigation?
Two professors.
One died and another has gone crazy.
Isn't this a serious matter?
I too have to undergo investigation two days later.
I'm telling you about that mountain of gold.
Master, you've told me three times.
I have business. Let me attend to my customer.
It's beyond your imagination.
I didn't hit you hard at all. Why are you groaning?
Come.
Come in. Morning.
Come, sit down.
Master Jin. Not right.
Why does it burn right here?
What's wrong? I didn't exert any force.
Help me see why does it hurt here?
- Where?- Here.
Iron Palm.
Stop joking. Help me see what's wrong.
It's red here.
- What are they doing?- I don't know.
It looks like a drawing.
It looks like an eye.
Coming.
Why are you here?
Big Gold Tooth gave me your address.
You also know Big Gold Tooth?
Sort of. We aren't that familiar.
Professor Chen knows his father. They both love to collect antiques.
Aren't you inviting me in?
This house is too messy.
Thank you.
Fatty used to sell video tapes.
He's got many posters and pasted them all over.
Look at the way he pasted them on the wall. His aesthetic outlook is bad.
I've been criticizing him, really.
Where's Fatty? He's not around?
You are not looking for me?
I'm here to look for the both of you.
The reason for me here
is to give you and Fatty the money.
I'm going back to the States tomorrow.
You are going back?
I've contact the hospital there. I'm bringing Professor Chen to treat his illness.
From what I see, you Americans aren't that wealthy.
It's all cash.
How about... How about let's forget it?
I still have to give you the money. We've agreed to it in the beginning.
But Old Hu, I hope you can agree to this.
Speak.
Both of our elders are considered to be in the same occupation.
My grandfather decided to stop doing that.
The reason is because being a tomb raider brings bad karma.
No matter how strong a person's fate is, accidents can't be avoided.
I hope that you will stop doing that.
And not go tomb raiding anymore.
If there's an opportunity for you and Fatty to go to the States in the future,
- I will arrange--- So it's about this.
I thought you wealthy people have too much money to spend.
Old Hu, I'm serious.
I know what you are driving at.
I'm someone who has my principles and personal stand
besides discovering a protected ancient tomb,
there's many grand tombs in the deep of those mountains and forests.
Those who don't know the mystical techniques of Fengshui, they won't be able to find it.
If we don't discover and research on these places,
then that's not right. On one hand, those rare artifacts
won't be able to see the daylight.
On the other hand, there's the weathering and erosion from the elements,
it will seriously threaten those uncovered ancient tombs.
I saw all these and it pained my heart.
- I'm saying--- Enough.
I said those out of good intentions.
Since I've met the most cunning person in the world.
In this, I wasn't cunning at all.
You have to know, our great Chairman Mao taught us this,
there will always be two sides in every matter.
Something good can become something bad, and something bad can also become something good.
This is dialectical materialism (Marxist theory).
As for me, I practice this theory steadfastly without fail.
I have no idea you have such strength in your character.
But, I'm impressed.
As for me, I'll take back whatever I've said earlier.
I think you won't take this sum of money.
Miss Yang.
No. Miss Yang.
I'm saying since you have such sincerity, I'll have to accept this sum of money.
What do you say?
How about this? Let's consider this sum of money as a loan.
You can calculate the interest based on the interest rate of our Bank of China, okay?
Thank you. I'll also thank you on behalf of Fatty.
I'm the one who should thank you and Fatty.
Real... really leaving just like that?
What I mean... is Professor Chen leaving with you?
Yes. I still have to contact the hospital and bring Professor Chen over for treatment.
By the way, there's no problem on your body and Fatty's body, right?
No problem. We are strong. No problem at all.
That's good then.
I'll leave now. I don't think it'll be likely for us to meet again in the future.
Take care.
Till we meet again.
You can transfer the call over.
Thank you.

I'll be coming back home tomorrow.Thank you to one and all in design, segmenting, subtitling, editing, moderating and channel managing.
