Episode 09
Since when did you fall for her?
I've told you many times!
Never!
I'm not blind.
I didn't sleep with her!
Get lost! I didn't mean to sleep with you!
I was drunk.
Didn't know anything.
God knows why I ended up in your room.
In fact,
the thing between you has nothing to do with me.
Besides, this...
This will not influence our friendship, right?
What are you talking about, Hu?
Do you really think I...
Anyway,
this thing,
I will keep it a secret.
You two don't feel pressured.
Besides,
we better not tell outsiders about it.
Or it'll be bad for you two,
and influence your life and work.
What are you thinking about? -How could I possibly... -Wang Kaixuan!
Wang Kaixuan!
Tell me the truth!
Did you sleep with me or not?
Yanzi
You should stick to the facts. Don't try to blackmail me.
I went to bed the minute I came back from Secretary's home.
God knows why you slept beside me when I opened my eyes.
I was drunk! Got into a wrong room!
You were drunk? Got into a wrong room?
So you slept with me?
Slept with you? If I wanted to sleep with someone, it's Hu Bayi!
Shut up!
Stop arguing! Is it something glorious?
Come here, Yanzi.
Even though you were drunk...
Get lost.
Even though you were drunk and got into a wrong room,
then feel it,
did you sleep with him or not?
How to feel it?
I've heard that it'll hurt.
Does it hurt?
Yes.
Head hurts.
No. Not head. It's...
What?
It's...
Whatever.
It's your fate anyway. You both wore clothes at that time.
Consider that you haven't done it.
Fatty
Fatty!
All right, take it easy.
It's all over.
What, what's all over?
Hu
You know me.
What?
I'm a virgin.
It's my first time to lie down with a girl.
Besides,
I would sleep with anyone else but her.
Wang Kaixuan!
You shameless!
No. No. No.
Took advantage of me!
Don't. Don't.
Yanzi
How dare you beat me?
-What, am I not right? -Put it down! Put it down!
Stop.
What are you doing?
Secretary.
We're doing cleaning.
Doing cleaning.
This... This yard is too messy.
Sweeping.
Hu Bayi
Your letter.
[ To Hu Bayi ]
[ Serve The People ]
To my closest comrades of revolution
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan
Since we parted in Beijing, our greatest capital,
I've been cherishing the memory of our Link-up days.
I wanted to write you earlier.
But many things happened in my family.
I failed to join the army due to my family background.
But went to and worked in Kelunzuo County, Inner Magnolia.
Here, we enjoy the splendor of the grassland scenery
and many relics of the war.
Back then, a Japanese water supply troop
was once stationed here.
Now
I think you must have joined the army as you wished.
Gloriously joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Being a revolution warrior is also my dream.
Hope you can send me photos of yourselves in military uniform.
So I can share your happiness.
At last,
Please don't forget the revolution friendship between us.
Wish it could go beyond mountains and the long distance,
remain close and unfading forever.
Your closest comrade, Ding Sitian. Let me take a look.
Ding's handwriting looks really nice.
Ding is there alone.
Must be very lonely.
Seeing our letters sent back,
she won't feel lonely any more.
Fatty
Have you asked uncle Qiao Shan's background yesterday?
Not a native.
He came here after the Liberalization.
Nothing more?
Yes.
Secretary only knows so much.
Let me see.
How shall I write the first sentence?
My closest comrade-in-arms,
Ding Sitian.
How is that?
Stop it.
We'll go to the grassland for a few days.
And visit our closest comrade by the way.
Really?
Didn't Ding say it in her letter?
The grassland enjoys scenic splendor.
Besides,
she also mentioned,
A Japanese water supply troop was once stationed there.
[ Practice patriotism in the vast land; Take root in the countryside unremittingly ] [ Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, revolution warriors are all brave heroes ]
I've heard of it from my granduncle.
His son was one of the Clay Society.
So miserable. Killed by the Japanese in the mountains.
Don't tell anyone else about it.
Sis, rest easy.
My mouth will be locked both inside and outside.
Will be safer than any safe box.
That girl in Inner Mongolia,
is more beautiful than Yanzi and Huamei?
You throw something away when comparing it with other things.
It's true of humans.
Back then, there was a beauty
nicknamed as the Queen of Haidian District.
But when she stood before Ding Sitian...
Guess what?
What?
Nothing.
Cut it out. You're bragging as if it was real.
I won't buy it.
Is there anyone more like a fairy than me?
Stick to the facts.
More beautiful than a fairy. Look.
Her?
She's really normal.
I was much more beautiful than her back then.
How could she fall for you?
Her name is Ding Sitian.
My name is Wang Kaixuan.
Contrast past misery with present happiness.
Come back in triumph.
We met like we were old friends.
Hand in hand. Shoulder to shoulder.
We traveled around China for the Link-up campaign.
In Yan'an, the holy land of revolution,
each of us grabbed a handful of the local soil.
Didn't let it go for a day and a night.
Then what?
Hands swelled.
My god. Give up if you're not good at it.
How could you hold hands in that way?
The girl's hands are as tender as mine. You can't...
But,
we took this handful of soil
to our Chairman's hometown, Shaoshan!
Based on such a great revolution relationship,
is it appropriate for me to visit her without any gift?
Not appropriate.
Traveling far away to Inner Mongolia without any gift,
is it appropriate?
Not appropriate.
Sis
You're selling goods for the revolution.
Making it hard for a revolution youth on this trivia issue,
is it appropriate?
Not appropriate, of course.
Chairman Mao said, to correct your mistakes
makes you still a good comrade.
Charge it to my account!
You little bastard.
Confuse me every time you come here.
500g salt.
[ In 1966, Kelunzuo County, Inner Mongolia ]
Sir, this is mine.
19.98 Yuan!
Repay it when you come back!
Or I'll skin you alive! Believe me?
If one penny less,
you may skin Hu Bayi as well!
You brat, come back earlier!
You ghost!
It's just been a few days!
Why Inner Mongolia?!
Who told you that? That blabber Fatty!
All villagers have known it!
This time it is approved by Secretary.
To exchange revolution experience with comrades in Inner Mongolia
on behalf of educated youths in our village. No more nonsense!
You're going to meet Ding Sitian.
The thing between her and us is pure revolution friendship.
You're having a cold. Yet you're still lying.
I'm sticking to it regardless of the minor injury.
A cold won't stop us from running towards friendship.
Us? Include me!
It's a long distance.
Not convenient for you.
You asked me to hunt weasels with you. To go to the Ghost Court with you.
Why inconvenient for me when it comes to Inner Mongolia?
Do you really take me as sticky notes?
Use me and abandon me as you like?
Why run away?
I didn't.
Then why don't your legs stay here?
That's because
After Fatty slept with you, his legs panic every time before you.
Get lost!
Wang Kaixuan
Ask your conscience and tell me
will you take me to Inner Mongolia?
It's too far away.
Really not suitable for you.
You two speak with a single voice.
Have ran lines with each other?
Fine.
I won't stop you.
Leave.
Fatty, hurry. The cart is leaving. Hurry.
The cart has left!
What?
The driver is my second uncle. I told him to leave.
You...
No...
Yanzi
You lay on the same bad with me. It's just a misunderstanding.
How could you... Punish me at such a critical moment?
The cart runs three days.
Carries you to the town at most.
Do you count on it to take you to Inner Mongolia?
Well.
Four wheels is faster than two legs anyway.
What if it's forty wheels running together?
There's a train?
Hu
When we're in Inner Mongolia,
you gotta do me a little favor.
We even can share a pair of trousers. Why so courteous before me?
Since you said so,
I can die without any pity.
Shoot. What's it?
Find some chance to ask Ding for me,
What on earth am I to her?
Is that possible that
we can be
more than friends?
Dude.
That, I can't help.
Are you serious?
I was touched!
Listen to me.
It's about principle. No.
You and Yanzi have slept on the same bed.
You must be responsible.
Besides, don't think about the other one when she is with you.
Get lost!
My pants are still on!
I didn't taste a little.
Fatty! What did you say?
Easy.
Easy? You won't learn!
Remember what I said.
I wasn't there for you.
Hu.
Do you hear her?
You are the one she wanted.
I'm too slim.
That should be you.
Don't underestimate yourself.
Forget it.
I thought about it carefully these two days.
It doesn't matter whether we slept or not.
Then what matters?
If you like the stars in the sky.
You don't have to reach for it.
You can watch it shinning every day.
That is enough.
At that time,
we were all so young.
We don't know anything about love.
Now when I reminisce about the past.
I realized, Yanzi has told us the truth about love.
Love is not to possess,
Nor dominate.
Not the natural impulse caused by hormone.
It is a feeling that you want to spend your best times
with someone only.
Without asking if there's a future or result of you two.
Stand up,
all victims of oppression. For the tyrants fear your might
Don't cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing, if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
Yanzi.
You can't be ended. Come on, go on.
Go on.
Let us be inspired by like and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above
Ding.
We're coming for you!
The prairie is so beautiful!
Look, look!
So many sheep!
Don't make a fuss.
It's so beautiful! Look! Look!
So many sheep!
Are you insane?
Fatty! Always playing.
Play!
Dare to fight back?
Kick him down! Play? Play?
You're back.
I'm back.
Gimme, gimme.
Such a good girl. You came.
I'm here.
Here.
Thank you.
Fatty. Fatty. Look
Have we arrived?
Right, right.
Should have arrived.
Come on.
Hu.
Look!
Ding.
Ding Sitian.
Ding Sitian!
Ding!
Ding Sitian!
Hu Bayi!
Wang Kaixuan!
Ding Sitian!
Ding!
Ding, I'm coming!
Wang Kaixuan. The luggage.
You, don't drag me.
You...
Comrade Ding.
Long time no see.
What brought you two here?
We were gonna write back to you.
Then we discussed, and thought, it's better...
We didn't discuss anything.
We miss you, so we're here to see you.
It has been a long time!
Right!
Ding!
What're you doing?
Who is she?
Ding, let me introduce, she...
That doesn't matter, just somebody.
What somebody?
What? You're not a human?
Watch your language.
Nice to meet you, I'm Yanzi.
From the Northeast.
You're Ding Sitian, right?
You're so beautiful!
Much prettier than your picture!
Thank you.
Nice to meet you, comrade Yanzi.
Welcome to Inner Mongolia
Nice to meet you.
The wind is so big in here.
Wear this.
Don't catch a cold.
What about you?
It's okay. I've been here for a year. I'm used to it.
Look.
Sky is my quilt, earth is my bed.
I eat with the sand, and that tastes good.
Oh, my. Such a hard life.
Why do you sleep on the ground?
Don't embarrass us.
That is a poem. What pool? What's it to do with me?
- When I speak, you listen - None of your business! People say, long braid, can't read...
Fatty, Fatty!
So noisy, enough.
Enough, don't argue with her.
Enough, stop. Enough, enough.
Since you're here.
Stay here for some days.
How about this.
Tomorrow, I will take you to ride the horse.
Great!
Listen to me, since we're here, we must try that.
Ding, listen to me.
I heard the herdsmen cherish their horses. They won't let strangers ride their horses.
It's okay.
My landlord, Uncle sheepskin isn't a local man.
He is a refugee from some other place.
Talk to him, he will let you ride his horses.
That will be great.
Tomorrow, I will show you.
What is called "gallop at the head"
Fatty.
I can buy it if it's a pig or dog under you.
When did you learn how to gallop on a horse?
What do you know?
I'm a self-taught master!
Really? Ding, wait a second.
Need to speak with him.
Fatty, come!
Wait a second, Ding.
What happened?
Fatty, come!
Oh my!
So many horses!
Look!
He is Uncle Sheepskin.
Oh, no.
The horses are frightened.
Everyone, help him.
Uncle Sheepskin's horses are frightened!
Let's go. Let's go.
Look, look!
What's that?
Sand storm!
Hu, where're you going?
Hu Bayi!
You three, go there! You, that direction!
Hu, what're you doing on a horse?
You... don't!
Go!
Hu, come back!
It's too dangerous!
Hu Bayi, the horses are frightened. Come back!
Hu Bayi! Come back!
Hu!
