Lost in 1949
Madam, I just cooked some rice soup,
I'm getting youtiao now.
Ok.
I'll get the youtiao and soybean milk.
Good morning mum, Gui Fen.
Young Master Zhi Cai, you're awake...
at this hour?
From this day on,
I will turn over a new leaf...
and wake up early to work and earn my living.
Mum, I know you are upset at me,
but from this day on...
I will stop seeing Miss Lin...
and draw a clear line between us.
Just give me some time.
When you think it's enough,
you can talk to me again.
Young Master Zhi Cai,
you finally come to your senses.
Movie: Conflicts of Loyalty
Doctor Tang!
Oh, Young Master Qiao!
Are you watching a movie alone?
Is it your day off?
Embarrassing really...
Oh, careful.
Taking a day off to watch a movie.
James Cagney...
is a brilliant actor.
His movies are a classic.
I watch all of them.
Me too! I'm his fan too!
I've also watched all of them.
What a coincidence.
Yes, a happy chance.
This movie is excellent.
Halfway throughout the movie,
I was really worried...
that the traitor will...
succeed in tricking Cagney.
But luckily,
he was exposed by...
a secret code.
Yes.
I thought it was odd Mr. Lindsey...
said "Baby Ruth" before he died.
Apparently it's the secret code.
I'm so happy the traitor died.
Young Master Qiao...
is truly a movie fan.
I guess you didn't work...
just to watch this movie?
Anyway, Young Master Qiao,
are you still seeing Miss Huang..
living at No. 1?
Doctor Tang,
why the sudden mention?
That night,
both of you...
burst into my clinic and...
bumped into the ladies.
Rumours began circulating,
and some nosy patients...
started asking me if...
you and Miss Huang...
came to my clinic...
to seek for help.
It was embarrassing,
and since we meet today,
let me remind you that...
seeing Miss Huang...
will lead to more troubles.
It is a good reminder Doctor Tang,
Miss Huang and I have...
different opinions anyway.
I still have things to do,
I have to go now.
-Goodbye. -Alright, goodbye.
Ow! Ow!
Young Master Qiao!
Haven't seen you for days!
Did you get back the...
$5000 yet?
I always get unlucky...
whenever the jinx appears.
Hey do you have any good stock left?
Good stock?
What do you mean?
Stockings and such.
Oh yes,
it's not just stockings.
I have baby formula,
lighters, diapers etc...
As long as it's American products,
I will have it.
Are you...
thinking of making a comeback?
If so,
you have to bring me along.
You must bring me along.
When have I ever forgotten...
about you?
Still,
it'll depend on the goods for sale.
You are too humble.
You once sold...
leather shoes to a farmer!
As long as you are here, anything is sellable.
When can we do a large business...
instead of just scraping by everytime?
Doctor Tang.
Miss Huang, take a seat.
Am I bothering you?
Just a moment, I'm filing records, I'll be with you shortly.
The medicine cabinet is tidier...
now that you've tidied it.
Did you noticed it?
The brown bottle used to be on the left,
some medicine in the middle,
and a blue box with the word...
'Aspirin' on it.
You have a good memory.
Doctor Tang, why am I here?
The organisation notice you...
when you protect Mr. Ye's relics.
Right now,
we have a difficult and...
important task at hand...
and we need...
your help...
if you are willing.
I understand your concerns.
This is a special...
and difficult task,
and you never receive...
any proper training.
It is normal to be scared.
But the organisation has also...
considered your safety before...
asking for your help.
Obviously, if you are...
uncomfortable with the idea,
we understand that as well.
You only happened to be married to Mr. Zhang.
What we are asking...
is a bit...
too much.
I'll do it.
As long as I...
can help the organisation.
Are you sure, Miss Huang?
In the past,
Xiao Guang has always told me about his beliefs and dreams.
I already wanted to help back then,
but he said it was too dangerous...
and wouldn't let me do it.
But now,
now that he's gone,
and you are...
still working on this dream,
if I can help,
it will be like...
achieving Xiao Guang's dreams for him.
Doctor Tang!
Can I collect my medicine now?
Oh Miss Huang! What a coincidence!
Hello Mrs Qian.
Didn't...
Young Master Qiao accompany you today?
Mrs Qian, here is your medicine.
It's no rush,
hold on a moment,
Miss Huang,
you look fine though,
are you ill?
It's nothing, it has to do with my period.
I have the same problem too,
such chance isn't it?
This is a problem for Doctor Tang.
Doctor Tang...
has been regulating my periods.
We are sick-mates in a way then!
We can share details...
with each other.
Speaking of which,
Miss Huang must be unmarried yet.
Zhi Cai, follow me.
You are in good spirits lately...
and turning over a new leaf.
It is all thanks to you Master.
Your criticism...
is for my own good.
You have high hopes for me,
yet I am a grown man...
who still makes mistakes...
and cause you worry.
I'm sorry.
Very well,
what about...
the daughter from the Lin family?
Are you two still in touch?
No, we haven't.
Do you mean it?
You are so young,
why would you have this problem?
I've had it all this while,
I took Chinese medicine before.
Oh, I took that before too.
I remember the prescription has...
has... uh...
Huang Qi, Dang Shen...
and...
and... something else...
you should know.
Bai Zhu.
Yes, yes. That's it.
The prescription is...
to improve on the spleen,
but it can also be used to regulate periods.
Unfortunately it didn't work for me,
so I have to see Doctor Tang.
I never thought...
that our little village...
would have a good doctor too.
Oh yes.
Mrs Qian, here is your medicine.
If that is all,
I need to attend to Miss Huang now.
Ok, hold on,
just a bit more.
My house is always open for you to visit.
Do come over.
Mrs Qian, please check your medicine.
Alright,
I won't stay and chat now.
Goodbye.
-Goodbye Mrs Qian. -Goodbye.
It's ok, you don't have to see me off.
Go ahead, goodbye.
I was worried...
for you just now,
but you're able to lie...
about your period so well.
To be honest,
I really do have...
some problems with my periods.
I was thinking of...
asking you to have a look...
and give a prescription.
You...
About that matter...
as long as I can help,
I will try to do it.
This is wonderful.
Thank you Miss Huang.
About the details,
the organisation will send someone...
to explain tomorrow.
Your meeting place...
is at Tai Xiang Hair Salon.
The person will wear...
a brown cap...
for easy recognition.
What about you?
What can you wear for easy identification?
I... I...
I'll wear a pearl brooch then.
Dad, what is it?
Take this.
For whom?
Take this letter...
and give it to Auntie Lin.
Dad,
I'm turning over a new leaf.
How can you ask me...
to send Auntie Lin a love letter now?
Mum will have my blood!
You go alone.
What are you talking about?
It's not a love letter.
Auntie Lin misunderstood me,
and this is just my explanation.
There's nothing to hide here.
Dad,
you always have nothing to hide.
But I will have to...
sneak out just to send a love letter.
If mum knew about it,
will you take the blame?
Of course not, it'll be your fault.
Dad, I got blamed every time.
I won't do it again.
You can send it.
Come back.
Do you want to talk to your mum again?
If you help me finish the task,
I will talk to your mum about it.
I'll lavish praise on you...
and you two will be talking again.
No.
Li Wen, Li Wen,
come and take a look.
Don't they look nice?
It is very fashionable,
they suit Li Na well.
See,
Li Wen also say it's beautiful.
These are designs from Hong Kong,
of course they're nice.
Wow,
look at the stone on the earring!
It's huge!
Does Guangzhou have such nice stones?
It is lovely isn't it?
Yun Fu personally chose it...
to give it to you.
He said he wants to...
give Mum the best there is.
You still want to marry the pilot.
Why wouldn't you listen?
Mum...
Mum, Li Na,
I need to do my hair.
I'll leave you two to talk,
I'll be back soon.
Oh good,
I also want to do my hair.
Come on, let's go with your older sister.
Why do I have to go?
You need to do your hair too.
Come on, let's go together.
Mum,
the hair salon I'm going to...
is more old-fashioned.
I don't think you and Li Na will like it.
How about...
It has nothing to do with the salon,
but hair salons...
are meant to be visited together.
Or else it'll be too boring.
Let's go.
Let me change my clothes.
Other than pearls gotten from Japan,
the rest are just worthless.
Is it this one?
Yes.
Come on.
Come.
Hurry up,
come on,
come on.
Welcome, ladies.
Would you...
care to look at these hairstyles...
and let me know later?
How does this look?
It looks nice.
What do you think?
Oh Mrs Qiao!
Doing your hair too?
Hey boy, take this...
and send to the lady doing her hair.
Go on.
For me?
Hey you little beggar!
Mum, look at this little scumbag,
get out! Get out!
Here's some money.
Shoo!
Don't come in.
Hello Auntie Lin.
Mum, I was passing...
and saw you here,
so let me accompany you.
Li Na, come over for a bit,
let me introduce you...
to Young Master Qiao, the second son of the Qiao family.
Next time you see him,
you have to avoid him.
He still hasn't provide...
an explanation to...
your sister.
Hello Miss Li Na.
It's you.
It's me.
What a terrible place...
to choose.
Li Na...
You three wastrels did nothing...
all day long...
and still want money.
I can call the police...
and tell them that...
you are all...
communists.
Well go on! Make the call!
-Go on! Call them! -I will!
You hit me!
Let's hit him!
I'll beat you up!
Hit him!
The dewdrop is like the pearl, and the moon like the bow.
Are you nuts?
Somebody said there are communists here.
Let's go!
What are you doing? Where are you taking me?
Miss, your chest...
Scumbag!
Police! Police!
Miss! Stop yelling!
Mum, mum...
Zhi Cai,
can you help me take care of my mum?
I'll be back soon.
We're not friends.
Why should I help you?
Alright, go...
Thank you.
What are you doing?
He's bullying me.
Bullying, eh?
It's a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
Isn't this Miss Li Na from The Paramount?
Is he bullying you?
Yes, he did.
You dare to bully Miss Li Na?
-Take him away! -I mistook her...
Mistook her for someone?
No...
Li Na!
Mum fainted.
She needs your help.
Sorry,
it's a misunderstanding.
Just a misunderstanding.
Hold up,
how do you know him?
Who is he?
You don't know, do you?
Lock them both up.
Wait a second!
Let them go,
it's a misunderstanding.
Just let them go.
Who are you?
（Mao Rui Lin） See this?
I'm Master Six's followers.
His follower?
We're all friends here,
so just let them go.
-Let's go. -Let's go, let's go.
They're our friends.
Let's go, thank you.
It's ok.
Not even a word of thanks.
Hey! Qiao!
Help me call a trishaw!
Hurry!
-Hey you! Over here! -Please help.
Sit tight.
Go on,
go.
Not even a thank you.
I'm really sorry about that,
it was so confusing.
This is my first task...
so I'm inexperienced,
please forgive me.
Miss Huang you were very calm there.
Let's go back to business.
As you are inexperienced,
your task is relatively simple.
We hope you can approach...
your brother-in-law,
Wu Yun Fu.
Wu Yun Fu?
Is he a comrade too?
I can't reveal too much now.
Still...
though I'm willing to help,
my relationship with my sister...
isn't great.
It is actually...
terrible instead.
This is unexpected indeed.
Were you both...
not close growing up?
We were very close...
when we were younger...
until I left the house.
I've tried to mend the relationship,
but she is still very angry at me.
I am at my wits end.
I don't know what else I can do.
If you are the only one trying,
then it doesn't solve anything.
Let your sister...
make the first move.
Let her understand you.
I believe...
that will help you more.
Dad.
How was the thing?
Was it successful?
Originally, the love letter...
was stuck with me.
But who would've thought...
Mum!
Mo Geng,
Director Sun's...
birthday is coming.
You can help...
Li Jie with calligraphy.
Dad, mum, I have to go now,
goodbye.
That's not a problem.
Think about what to write.
Yes, sure.
Think of something nice.
Ok, ok.
I will write it.
Mum,
what's this?
Let me see.
Where did you get it?
Inside your pocket.
Was it from some lovestruck...
fans finding it hard to forget you...
and wrote you a love letter?
Let me take a look.
Mo Geng.
Why're you looking at it?
You can't read.
Let me read it...
outloud for you.
Or it would be a waste...
of his efforts.
Yun Shang,
Writing your name...
brings back so many memories.
I hope you wouldn't...
mind the sudden encounter that day.
I don't mean to react that way.
Yun Shang,
we went through so much that time...
Oh stop reading it,
it's embarrassing.
I'm tired now, just go.
Go on.
Bye...
Master Six's birthday is coming up,
make sure it is done well.
It must be up to standards.
Yes sir,
I understand.
-You are dismissed. -Yes sir.
Chief Jiang,
you weren't in the office,
good thing you're here.
How are you Chief Jiang?
Chief Chu, how are you?
You...
came back?
I'm back on orders from Nanjing.
Urgent matters,
so I dare not delay.
This operation is very important,
so I hope Chief Jiang can cooperate.
I always cooperate with...
your operations.
Did you hear his words?
Get the best equipment...
from the department.
Use Germany's detectaphone and Japan's video surveillance.
Chief Jiang,
I still have work, I have to go now.
Goodbye.
Where were you?
Mum fainted in the shop.
If it wasn't for Zhi Cai,
how can I take her home?
And you wanted to do your hair...
in such a salon.
Mum was very upset.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know it'll turn out this way.
Are you free now?
-I'd like to... -No I'm not.
-Li Na... -Look at the time.
I have work, I need to do my makeup.
Let me help you.
You?
You haven't help all these years,
and I am still fine.
Now you want to help?
I'm sorry, I don't need it now.
Your task is relatively simple.
We need you to approach...
your brother-in-law.
Wu Yun Fu.
Orders from Nanjing...
said this is an important task.
I've given a military order.
Our target for this mission...
is the Air Force captain,
Wu Yun Fu.
Sir,
I've heard of Captain Wu.
They say he's good in combat.
I've heard that too.
He can complete tasks needed...
to be done by 5 units.
That's true.
From what I know,
he has a good reputation in the Air Force.
His superior officer,
General Wu Shi Xiong,
has been secretly captured...
by Nanjing.
After investigating,
Wu Shi Xiong's real identity is a...
secret agent for the communists.
This Wu Yun Fu...
is very close to Wu Shi Xiong...
and might instigate rebellions.
Right now,
Wu Yun Fu is in Shanghai.
This is the perfect moment for CCP...
to contact him.
These are the files of Wu Yun Fu.
You two must remember...
not to take risky moves...
without any evidence at all.
Do not alarm Wu Yun Fu...
or it will have alarming consequences.
However,
once you have evidence...
to prove he's a member of CCP,
then take him in immediately. Do you understand?
-Yes sir! -Yes sir!
I've told my parents...
about our marriage.
Really?
Of course.
And they really believe...
I am a university student?
Of course.
You look adorable...
in the picture.
What if your parents...
find out that I'm a dancer...
instead of a student?
You are in the army...
with a foreign education,
they will never let you...
marry me.
I know...
you don't like it when I told my parents...
you are in university.
But please understand...
that I don't care...
what you do for a living.
I just want...
our relationship to proceed smoothly.
You know...
how people are like...
from my parents' time.
They actually agree for us...
to get married.
But they...
would like to meet you...
and your family...
officially first.
-But... but... -Li Na,
we're so close to the end.
We need to get through it,
ok?
Constable Cai,
remember to give me more...
briquettes next month.
Of course, I will give you more.
You're back at a late hour, Zhi Cai.
You're back, Zhi Cai.
Sister-in-law, you are still awake...
and apparently concerned about briquettes.
Uh... do you need help Zhi Cai?
-No thank you. -Ok.
Did he... see anything?
I don't think so...
It was very dark there.
But... why would he...
say that if he didn't?
Let's calm down.
Go and check on him now.
What? How do I do that?
Think of something! Go!
Go on.
Hurry up and go.
Hurry up.
How do I ask him?
Miss Li Wen,
why don't you go to bed?
Waiting for Li Na.
It'll get cold soon,
I'll get you a coat.
No need.
A-Er,
does Li Na always...
come back late?
Yes,
she works hard and it's a difficult job.
If she wasn't covered in smoke,
she'll come back very drunk...
and vomit until daylight.
It's normal for her.
In the past,
there have been wastrels...
following her everyday.
It was scary and she'll cry once she's home.
How about I accompany you?
There's no need, go to bed.
I can wait.
Alright, call me if you need anything.
Who's that?
Zhi Cai,
it's Brother A-San.
Come in.
Are you busy?
I'm just here to talk to you.
Did you...
see anything?
So?
What's the problem?
Zhi Cai,
since you've seen it,
then just say it.
Zhi Cai! I didn't do anything!
It's true! I didn't!
I was always kind to you, Zhi Cai.
Really, I didn't do anything!
If you don't want me to stay,
I'll just move out.
Please, Zhi Cai,
I'm begging you, don't do this.
This is not a game, please.
Don't shoot, Zhi Cai.
Please, I beg you.
I'm begging you, Zhi Cai.
Brother A-San,
this is a lighter made in America.
It's for you, a present for you.
Look at you.
You're crying.
What kind of joke is this?
It was very scary.
What's this now?
Buying and selling arms?
This is a death penalty.
For you.
Pure stuff.
Good for your body.
It won't help being...
scared like that.
Ok, fine,
this is some high quality wool,
also for you.
I don't want it.
You know I am a bachelor.
I don't have use for...
these things at all.
Really?
Zhi Cai, I just remembered...
that my director is always kind to me.
I would like to give these...
to his wife.
Can you give me more?
Is this enough?
Yes.
It's not that I want to nag you,
but can you come...
home earlier every night?
Is it ok?
Yes.
Your family is worried...
for you.
Your sister-in-law was so worried...
she came over to ask me...
why you hadn't come back yet.
I had to calm her down...
saying you're a grown man...
and you'll be fine,
won't you?
Yes, thank you.
Ok, get some rest,
I'm going back now.
-Brother A-San, -What?
the gun.
How was it?
Did he realised...
What's wrong? Say something.
Nothing,
he didn't noticed anything.
So why're you so strange?
This...
The stockings are made from wool,
it'll be very warm.
For me?
Thank you.
You're back.
What's the meaning...
of this kite?
I...
I just remembered the past,
and I wanted to buy a kite...
so that when the weather...
gets better,
we can go and...
Go what?
You think...
I'd still fly a kite with you?
I know...
you still haven't...
forgotten the past and...
forgiven me,
but...
can't we start over...
as friends again?
I've come back, Li Na.
We're sisters.
Sisters?
When you left,
why didn't you...
remember you have a sister?
You didn't even tell me...
that you were leaving.
I wanted to tell you.
That day,
I finished mending your kite...
and left it on the table like that.
I wanted to wait for you...
and tell you before I go.
