"In the Name of People"
Episode 13
I just talked to Prof. Wu about you.
How innocent you were at the school!
How did you become like this?
I told you to not visit Chen Yanshi, but you still did.
Working like a gardener. You don't have to explain.
Master Chen told me nothing, nor to chief Sha.
You had yourself running into chief Sha Ruijin, right?
You think it's funny?
Mentor, on this matter, I hope you still understand me.
I'm too eager to advance.
Too eager?
Then why do you shout "Sha-clan" and talk nonsense?
Tell me,
do you really wanna have a Sha-clan so you can join right away?
Mentor you misunderstand... - What do I misunderstand?!
Don't talk nonsense, never say things that ruin unity!
Especially if it's about party chief Sha!
A party member must have party qualities, leaders must have humanity.
I tell you,
the new party chief is arriving perfectly on time!
Handong's party, political and social conduct need to change!
Without change, the people will be cursing at us!
True...
Only this? It's too little! - Yeah right! This is not enough!
You know how we got hurt? - We got burned, can't defend the factory anymore!
Chairman Zheng, where is Cai Chenggong?
How could he hide after this huge incident? - Right!
To tell you the truth, I also don't know where boss Cai is hiding.
But in his situation, he'd still send us some money.
I think it counts as having a conscience!
This won't do!
Please don't shout, the government will soon give us a solution!
Today at the factory, I heard the task groups of the government
will station at our factory from tomorrow.
Within one week, they'll pay us the settlement fee!
It's based on working years, not even 1 penny will be missing!
How about our stocks? Anything there?
Right, if it weren't for the stocks, we won't have gotten burned!
How much do we get in settlement? Our stock is worth much more!
Yeah right!
I also heard about the stocks!
The government hired us two lawyers to represent us from the factory,
so we can meet Shanshui Group in court!
Solving the problem in court, do you even believe that?
If going to court is enough, we won't have fought!
They already have the court in their pocket!
The judge's relatives all work at Shanshui Group!
Dafeng Company was reformed from state-owned-enterprise.
The trial spot was overseen by Chen Yanshi.
With his support, every factory worker held stocks.
After all these years, some workers left or sold their stocks.
But the workers still hold 40% of the stocks.
Did you also put up their stocks as collateral?
We used the loan for production, so we didn't separate them.
For this reason, the workers beat me on the night of 1/16.
They believe I collaborated with Shanshui Group in secret and transferred them profit.
Don't you see I'm wronged Monkey?
I'm also a victim, right? They tricked me!
Chairman Zheng I don't believe Cai got rid of all our stocks!
Right, chairman Zheng you also have thousands of stocks!
We must appeal! - Right!
Chairman Zheng let's appeal to the government these days! - OK!
Go appeal if you don't trust the government!
They already sent task groups to visit us!
What are you appealing for?
I'm really tired today. I need to go home and rest.
Actually, regarding Hou Liangping's welcoming reception,
I've arranged everything. Do you have anything else to say?
I got nothing more.
I just gotta remind you about Liangping's position.
He's the procuratorate anti-corruption bureau chief,
Don't do those graphical things! - I know, don't worry!
We just gather and talk about the old days.
One more thing, pay it yourself, don't ask any boss to pay for you.
Don't lose my face on it! - I know, as his senior, I pay.
Moreover, I'll skip this time.
Have a few more drinks with Liangping on my behalf.
Mentor, we are all your students, you won't come?
Just stop. Chief Sha barely arrived and you keep shouting "Sha-clan".
Should I not be careful about the "Han-Uni faction"?
Tell Liangping to try to understand. - OK!
You old schoolmates have fun!
Hmm.
Mentor, is there anything else?
Nothing.
Hmm...
What's up with Liang Lu?
At times like this, nothing can happen in your family, understood?
I know.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Sounds good.
Chief Hou, director Lu, I told you all I know.
Today to the bureau, I'm reporting on the wife of,
provincial committee member, municipal secretary Li Dakang, Ouyang Jing,
for taking 2 millions of bribe.
I hope your bureau can keep me.
So I can cooperate in your investigation anytime.
I'm afraid it won't work.
Cai Chenggong, you are also suspected of other crimes,
Jingzhou PD is looking for you, dozens got burned after all...
Monkey, that fire has nothing to do with me!
I got beaten that night and fainted, I didn't know about the fire!
I have a witness, Zheng Xipo. Go ask Zheng Xipo!
I know what you fear!
Relax!
Since Handong procuratorate accepted your report,
we will take care of you, including your safety.
Jingzhou detention center has our station procurator.
I let him watch over you.
Monkey, I put my life into your hands brother!
Cai Chenggong,
the anti-corruption bureau will be responsible for you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dad!
You are still waiting for me!
Yeah, we have to!
We may not wait everyday, but today we must wait!
Even if you come back at dawn, we'll wait until dawn!
Let's hurry up and eat!
Baobao you must be starving! - No, I'm on a diet.
Dad, let me warm these dishes for you.
What a nice girl!
Just marry her!
Marry what?
Dad, didn't I tell you I have the so-called gamophobia?
Baozi,
what nonsense did you tell me at my home in Beijing?
I thought you are doing well!
If you told me earlier, perhaps none of these would've happened!
Perhaps Chen Hai won't get hit! Are you stupid or what?
I'm no seer, how could I know what would happen afterwards?
Let me ask you, what really happened the night of 1/16?
Why did you not meet up with Chen Hai? - I went!
On the way there I noticed the municipal PD was after me!
So I ran, I couldn't reach our meeting spot.
Let's go!
I'm leaving.
Baozi!
Be careful!
I'm leaving.
Great!
Here, let me pour you.
Dad, me and Baobao,
wish you fortune like the east sea and longetivy like the south moutain! (Chinese proverb)
Uncle, you see our boss Zheng really is a caring son!
Nowadays, not many kids remember their parents' birthday!
Like me, I don't remember!
I drink this for you,
wish you fortune like the east sea and longetivy like the south moutain!
OK, I empty my glass!
It's not often I drink your wine, also an expensive wine!
Dad, listen to yourself, you call this expensive wine?
If you wanna drink, just tell us!
We are son and dad you know, here!
Awesome!
BTW, have you two figured something out to set me up?
Babao, what did I tell you?
My dad has golden eyes with sanctified sight! (Chinese idiom)
Even if it's only for your piercing sight, we must drink! Here dad!
Commissioner Zhao. - Chief Hou.
Cai Chenggong is yours. A few things I gotta tell you:
first, since Cai hurt his head on 1/16 and received 8 stitches,
I suggest you take him to your hospital for a thorough checkup,
before making an arrest.
I agree.
Today, we detain him in the Guangming district PD nearby.
Tomorrow you send procurators to accompany Cai on his checkup.
Director Lu, get people from 1st division to escort Cai tomorrow.
Yes sir!
Second, Cai reported on a suspected serious duty crime,
I hope you ensure his safety!
Don't let strangers near him, in order to prevent accidents.
Sure, don't worry about that.
Our PD procurator will randomly check his health and custody conditions.
I hope nothing unpleasant happens!
Chief Hou, I hope so too.
Zhou Zheng, make the transfer. - Yes sir!
Dad you've lived through a "jia-zi" cycle! (a cycle of 60 years)
This year you turn 60!
You remember very well, 60 is my "virtual age" this year. (based on East Asian reckoning system)
See? What did I tell you? 60 is uncle's virtual age!
Don't make us older, we turn 60 next year!
What do you know? 60-year celebration never happens at 60!
They always happen at the virtual age!
Really? - Of course!
Dad you see you are 60 already,
as you become a senior citizen, you must enjoy your retirement!
Baobao and I think you should stop going to the factory - Hmm!
Don't make more trouble for our government! Objectively, they don't have it easy!
What do you mean,
you two make trouble in my stead?
You can hand over your Dafeng stocks to us,
and we file the lawsuit for you!
Frankly speaking dad, you can't win against Shanshui Group,
if you sue you must sue Cai Chenggong.
I don't get it, why would I sue him?
I just said you have piercing sight, now you can't see again?
You don't know the law.
I'm afraid to break the law, therefore I study the law, I know!
This matter of yours, I consulted lawyers online.
To win the lawsuit you must sue Cai Chenggong.
You must have him admit that
he never asked for approval from the other stockholders.
That's how you win the case! - Yeah right!
You got a point.
You little boy actually get serious for once!
Who are you looking down on?
Chief Hou, it's done.
Take him.
Let's go.
Get in!
We are off topic now.
We started with enjoying retirement, now we talk about lawsuit!
Dad, I mean in the future, you should relax more.
Like old man Chen Yanshi, care for plants and birds, isn't it wonderful?
Irritating and vulgar matters like making money,
you leave it to us young folks!
I learned about making money from you.
Do you wanna click "likes" or delete posts?
Come on dad, you can't always watch people through a crack!
In any case, I, Zheng Qian start off from zero,
and fought empty-handed!
No matter how much I make, I support myself!
I don't exploit my parents!
Talking about which, even if I wanna exploit parents,
look at yourself, from top to toe,
I don't know where to start!
You don't even wanna lend me those 200,000...
So you beat around the bush just to get to those 200,000?
It's not that dad, we wanna make you a shareholder!
I discussed with Baobao, on your 60-year birthday, the day of celebrations,
Alpha Inc. presents you a special gift package:
14% of our company share!
Dad, these 200,000 counts as you buying our share! - Hmm!
Once you join us, you win big! You need to do nothing.
You wait at home for your dividends, and count money until your fingers cramp!
I don't want your gift package!
I repeat once more, this money
was made by your mom and she left it for your marriage!
Uncle, we will marry, we were just discussing about it the other day, right?
Discuss what, how did we discuss?
Even my dad knows I have that gamophobia...
Uncle, he's sick! - Get treated then!
You know that to make this money, your mom,
took the tricycle to the streets of our district,
and sold breakfast for 10 years!
In the end, to evade "chengguan" she got hit by a bus.
Who's this, at midnight? - Police!
Shengli,
after changing your name to Zheng Qian, what have you done?
I haven't... haven't done anything!
My name is "make money", I didn't go rob... rob money, I...
You see, you see!
You can't keep a straight tongue, what have you really done?
Da... dad,
I rea... really haven't, really haven't...
Baobao is it about our school?
Dad... this wine gave me head... headaches,
you sit down, you get the door, go!
Ah my head... hurry!
If they look for me, I'm not here.
Chief Hou, let's try to understand each other better.
Secretary Li of the municipality takes the incident at Dafeng factory seriously.
He deals with it personally.
Secretary Li's orders, we must carry out.
So how is secretary Li taking it seriously?
Buying safety with money.
We even spend 10 millions from the social stability fund.
This serious?
Time to go, talk to you later.
BTW...
Your predecessor Chen Hai is my good friend.
He wanted to introduce Lu Yike of your bureau to me.
Really?
Good!
I believe we can be friends too!
Good! - Hmm.
Detain me? Are you mistaken?
Are you Zheng Xipo, chairman of the Dafeng worker's union?
Yes. What law have I broken?
You know if you come with us.
Wait!
Please show your arrest warrant!
This is detention, not an arrest!
I warn you, don't obstruct us from performing our duty!
I warn you too, don't obstruct me from collecting evidence!
Later, I'll use this to sue you at the court!
Give me the phone! - Why should I?
Give me the phone! - Nope!
Just leave it, our warrant is not fake.
But, comrade officer, what's going on here?
We need you to assist in our investigation.
Secretary Li of the municipality takes the incident at Dafeng factory seriously.
He deals with it personally.
Secretary Li's orders, we must carry out.
Buying safety with money.
We even spend 10 millions from the social stability fund.
Your predecessor Chen Hai is my good friend.
I thought uncle police came to take you!
I didn't expect them to take your old man!
Baobao, help me analyze.
They catch my dad, is it somehow related to the 1/16 fire?
Did my dad really start the fire? Does he have the guts?
99.99%
impossible!
How would he have the guts? - True.
He tells us to be law-abiding, how could he commit crime himself?
But everybody has emotions,
if old man commits crime of passion, that's not impossible!
Lol, crime of passion? You know lots of terminology!
He's old, where's his passion?
Even if he had, he wrote them into poems.
Looks like this time we must take the risk and save my dad with all we got!
Prison break? You are bold!
Prison break? You think I have the guts?
I don't even dare to marry, prison break? - True that...
I mean we go online and write a post, with this title:
Handong police intrudes home at night,
took away innocent old man!
To settle scores at the Dafeng factory workers!
Right!
We go home and dig up all the old prizes and certificates he received,
like 3/8 flag bearer, or pioneer worker, and post them all online!
Let's go!
(Beijing, home of Hou Liangping)
(the crying caterpillar pops up!)
(emergency, I beg everyone to help save an innocent elder!)
(bringing chaos to the world again?)
(the world is already in chaos, what can I do?)
(tell me!)
(with picture comes the truth!)
Boss Cai! - Old Zheng, why are you here?
How would I know? Maybe they are mistaken.
Comrade, let me ask, what has Zheng Xipo done?
Why do you care, sit down!
Can't you have a better attitude? I'm no criminal!
What's going on?
How would I know?!
There's no mistake.
That Zheng Xipo is the conspirator behind!
Chairman of their union,
the one who led the factory defense. (Cheng Du, head of Guangming district PD)
Like Cai, he must be held responsible! (Cheng Du, head of Guangming district PD)
Inspector Cheng, we checked before.
at the time of 1/16 fire, Zheng Xipo was not present.
Let me ask you, who dug the trench to stop the bulldozers?
Was it not Zheng Xipo?
They tried to stop the demolition team, that's understandable!
What did the demolition team do wrong?
Why did you arrest Chang Chenghu, which law did he break?
The demolition team did their job legally, they didn't beat or start fire.
But now 6 of the bulldozer drivers got burned!
Inspector Chen, we didn't wanna arrest, but commissioner Zhao ordered!
Chang and his men pretended to be police,
we have no choice but to arrest him!
The municipal PD can order, but I can't?
Answer me, can I order you? - Yes yes yes!
Inspector Chen, please don't get mad. I took him here for you.
Are they locked up together? - Yes, as you ordered.
Watch carefully, listen to what he tells his boss Cai!
OK, understood!
(emergency, please help save an innocent elder!)
(please repost!)
(emergency, we beg you to help save an innocent elder!)
("repost")
("reposting...")
Mr. Zheng,
have you delivered the money to the injured and their families?
I have.
I went together with accountant You. It takes two to be formal!
Right. How about Wang Wenge and the other guy?
They are safe now.
I gave them 8,000 each.
I trust you the most of the entire Dafeng factory.
Boss Cai, it's good that I came in.
I just wanted to tell you:
the municipality sent task groups and lawyers,
to station at our factory from tomorrow. - Hmm...
To help our workers with the lawsuit and sue Shanshui Group.
It's no use, we can't win!
I signed the contract, municipal bureau of commerce has backup.
The court just followed the procedure and ruled in their favor.
Therefore my son suggests we sue you.
Now I remember,
before you gave up our stocks, did you host a stockholders meeting?
As the stockholders' representative, I don't remember it happened.
No? - Right!
No stockholder meeting? - Right!
Yeah that's right!
Sue me, sue me good and you get back your stocks! - Right!
Sue me! Sue me today!
But I must get out first! Calling it detention, what the hell!
Old Zheng, detention is calling you here to ask about stuff.
You are honest, what could possibly happen?
You'll definitely leave today!
Do this once you get out, remember!
Get to the scrapyard at Dalong mountain, you know? - Yeah.
Find my cousin, I left my Mercedes at his place.
Take the car and sell it, use the money to hire a good lawyer.
You must win this lawsuit for the workers!
It's fine, the government hired us lawyers, don't waste your money!
Those lawyers do it for public welfare.
They don't take money, how can they do a good job?
We pay to get good lawyers, we must win this lawsuit!
Boss Cai, that's why I say you are kind-hearted!
Given your situation, you still think about us.
Old Zheng, you are the kind one!
I help everyone, but I help myself foremost.
If we win the lawsuit, and get back the stocks,
you get back yours, I also get back mine!
Right?
No matter how much I spend, I gotta help you win this lawsuit!
Sue me!
Your son is really smart!
Sue me!
Boss Zheng, I reached 500 reposts!
600 already for me, keep going!
Boss Zheng, if brother Lei finds you, will you be toast this time?
I won't fear as long as my dad is safe!
Just saying,
I think we still need to prepare for the worst.
Baobao, today I give you a formal promise!
If I get caught and even get sentenced,
I'll marry you!
So I can visit you in jail and bring you food? - Yeah...
With my beauty, I can marry another anytime, but you...
We better go separate ways in times of disaster!
Inspector Cheng,
they didn't mention the fire, only talked about lawsuits.
Inspector Cheng, I think,
we let Zheng write a report and release him tomorrow.
You think?
Before Zhao Donglai releases Chang Chenghu,
I won't release Zheng Xipo!
Yes sir.
And Chen Yanshi's pickup? - It's arranged.
Guangming district head Sun Liancheng picks him up in person.
It's just a meeting, why do you walk me out? Go back!
Careful when you talk, don't be a "fenqing"! (internet slang for angry youth)
What "fenqing"? (internet slang for angry youth)
I'm over 80 already but you still treat me like a kid! Seriously...
You always upset people...
OK, see you auntie!
Secretary Li. - Master Chen! - Everyone's here!
Cai Chenggong, get out!
When do you release me? I got a meeting.
Your meeting will begin, our inspector will host it personally!
That... where am I going comrade?
We take you for health examination! Come.
Boss Cai!
Everything is spinning... - What's wrong?
My head got hurt before...
Concussion.
We invite you here today to ask for your help.
You have very high prestige among the Dafeng workers!
We need to ask you a small favor.
Relax, I'll do what I can.
Dakang, the disputes among people won't be solved with suppression.
You gotta convince them gradually with negotiation.
I recommend you a negotiating person,
also the representative of stockholding workers,
the chairman of this worker union, Zheng Xipo
Great master Chen!
Liancheng,
Invite comrade Xipo here ASAP!
Secretary Li I'm afraid he can't come. - What?
Why not? I told him yesterday that he must come!
You see...
What does Zhao Donglai want?
Master Chen!
"Old man arrested at midnight'
"1/16 incident... setting scores at the workers..."
Isn't it purposeful sabotage?
If the workers read this, then all our efforts will go to waste!
Your task groups wanna enter the factory? No way!
Workers of Dafeng factory, brothers and sisters,
according to online info,
last night at 0:08, our worker union chairman,
stockholding worker representative Zheng Xipo
was taken away by Guangming district PD.
He still hasn't returned.
Zhao Donglai, where are you?
Zheng Xipo,
do you know why we took you here?
No.
Think again!
When you fought the demolition team, what did you do?
Boss Cai asked me to organize people to dig the trench,
we wanted to dig the trench deeper, to stop the bulldozers.
If you pour gasoline into the trench, it becomes a fire wall!
Clever!
No... - Sit down!
We didn't pour the gasoline... - You did!
I tried to stop them! - But you did in the end!
And hurt a few demolition men!
Why is he not wearing prisoner's vest? Get him one!
I'm detained not arrested!
You know stuff! What you say doesn't matter, I do!
I warn you, don't get any ideas!
If you treat me like this I sue you when I get out!
Let's see if you can get out at all! Think about your crimes!
Wha... what crimes? I'm not a criminal!
If I say you are a criminal then you are a criminal!
Wear it!
Secretary Li,
I swear to you and the municipality, the municipal PD and I,
never ordered Guangming district PD to arrest Zheng Xipo!
It's true!
Besides we investigated the Dafeng factory incident,
not only is Zheng innocent, he even tried to prevent the fire!
Go to the district PD and invite comrade Zheng Xipo here!
You get 20 minutes! I wait for you at the Dafeng factory gate!
Hurry!
Cheng Du, get Zheng Xipo into a car and send to Dafeng factory now!
You get 18 minutes! I'll wait there with secretary Li!
But commissioner Zhao, there is no time!
This is an order!
If you don't come on time, you can resign to secretary Li in person!
Bastard!
Hello? Hello?
Hello commissar Qin, I'm Zhao Donglai.
Listen, from now on,
you must clear the path from Guangming PD to Dafeng factory.
Make sure a police car can pass within 18 min!
Bring Zheng Xipo to Dafeng factory! Hurry up!
Yes sir!
Faster!
8 min left. - Only 2 more junctions inspector, we should be fine.
Old Zheng, why are you still wearing it?
You made me wear it! You even insisted!
Do you know who you are gonna meet? Secretary Li of the municipality.
Hurry and take it off.
Secretary Li? Then I definitely can't take it off!
I gotta let you inspector Cheng show off your face,
and demonstrate your capability and determination!
Look at this huge case you solved!
Old Zheng, it was a misunderstanding!
Don't sink to my level!
Nope. Secretary Li must know this.
You take it off or not?
That was too far! - Old Zheng, chairman Zheng,
great men don't harbor grievance for the petty ones. please forgive me, OK?
How?
Shall we swap cloths, you wear mine and I wear yours?
Fine, you hand me your vest first.
But I refuse!
But old Zheng...
Secretary Li, Zheng Xipo will be here soon, any minute!
Dafeng factory workers, brothers and sisters,
according to online info,
last night at 0:08, our worker union chairman
and stockholding worker representative Zheng Xipo,
was taken away by Guangming district PD,
He still hasn't returned...
Mr. Zheng!
You must be Cheng Du, come here!
Secretary Li...
Did this comrade break law or commit crime?
Today you explain yourself before the commissioner!
Comrade Xipo, please... - Don't!
This looks quite nice!
Secretary Li...
we just detained him to investigate.
Is this what people wear in detention now?
Who gave you the authority?
We just wanted to scare him a little...
You know many people got burned on 1/16.
The demolition team leader Chang Chenghu got arrested...
It's normal that we investigate the leaders of factory defenders...
Normal?
Not really I think.
Cheng Du, I almost forgot about Chang Chenghu.
Isn't Chang Chenghu your cousin?
Just to defend your cousin, you abuse the police authority?
Inspector Cheng, you think the police station is your home?
Are you mad or what?
Old Zheng, you too.
Why are you so stubborn? It doesn't look good, take it off!
But master Chen!
You gotta ask inspector Cheng, he insisted that I wear it, or else...
Comrade Xipo, I didn't mean it!
He doesn't have that authority.
If you want, I'll make you a new one so you can wear everyday!
Take it off, seriously.
Secretary Li...
Cheng Du, remember.
Wearing the uniform of people's police, with the national emblem,
you can't be willful!
Before the people, tuck your tail between your legs!
Don't wave around your tail like a flag!
Secretary Li, I was wrong.
I'll self-examine...
Zhao Donglai, you need to get a grip on your police force!
Is there anyone else like Cheng Du?
Get all these horses that spoil the whole herd, (Chinese idiom)
and clean them out from the police force! - Yes secretary Li!
I'll take care of it today!
Dafeng workers, brothers and sisters,
according to online info,
last night at 0:08, our worker union chairman
and stockholding worker's representative, Zheng Xipo,
was taken by the Guangming district police
He still hasn't returned.
Dafeng workers, brothers and sisters,
according to online info
at 0:08 last night...
What's going on? - You didn't hear?
They are beating old Zheng to death at the police station!
You are finished if they get their hands on you!
I told you we can't trust the government!
Old Zheng did, now you see...
With power in their hand, they can find any excuse to take you in!
Yeah!
This is the society these days, you are done if they get you!
As you see master Chen,
this is the situation we face today.
A small police inspector dares to be "the fox masquerading as a tiger", (Chinese idiom)
and ruin the image of the party and the government!
You are right.
Even though his title is small, in the eyes of the people,
he still represents the government, and the municipal secretary,
Li Dakang!
If you don't watch out, they paint your nose bridge white. (makeup for evil characters in Beijing opera)
Yes, you are so right!
Before the people didn't believe the government would do bad things.
Now the people don't trust the government to do good things.
We brought the settlement fee, but can't enter the gate!
Therefore this is a crisis.
Leaders like you must think carefully.
Yes we must.
Now I remember,
last time you taught us a lecture at the committee meeting.
It left a deep impression! Especially that,
1-day young party member, left me a deep impression.
Chief Sha wanted the best out of us and sounded us the alarm bell!
Mr. Zheng, sorry for having you go through this, I'm very sorry!
You also heard secretary Li's orders, and we must carry out!
We will punish this inspector Cheng.
But the work still must be done,
the leaders and task groups must enter the factory.
You see, to resolve the misunderstanding for everyone,
could you please make an announcement?
OK commissioner Zhao, I do it now!
Great, thanks!
Comrades, brothers and sisters,
I'm Zheng Xipo. I'm back now.
Inspector Cheng of the district PD sent me back personally!
