(Lost In 1949)
Huang Li Wen,
you have been pregnant...
for thirteen weeks.
Now is the critical time...
to decide whether to proceed...
or abort the pregnancy.
As a gynaecologist,
I must remind you...
that should you abort,
it will have negative impact...
on your health.
However, given the complex situation right now,
you have to decide yourself...
whether it is suitable...
to give birth now.
This is Xiao Guang's child.
Although I am not at the same side,
but Xiao Guang and I...
can be considered to know each other.
Back then, they intercepted a...
weapon.
It was written in German and required immediate translation.
Organisation ordered me to help.
Thus, Xiao Guang and I can be said...
to hit it off immediately.
We worked together for 40 hours,
I translated while he recorded.
He is a really passionate person.
A person who truly...
knows to to be passionate.
He asked me to stay...
and worked with them.
But organisation had...
other plan for me.
I thought later...
there will still be a chance...
to work with Xiao Guang.
Never thought,
never thought that...
I want to give birth,
I want to give birth to the child.
Huang Li Wen,
please calm down.
If you choose to give birth,
will you want to return to the rear area?
I do not know.
Doctor Tang, I...
You... Let me think first.
I am currently...
not able to think.
Give me some more time.
Of course, Huang Li Wen.
Take care of yourself.
We will wait for your decision.
Chief, we have brought the person.
Mister,
you have found the wrong person.
I am a good citizen.
I have never done anything against the law.
I have not done anything!
Do you know me, Mister?
I have never even seen you.
-Are you? -Did we let you speak?
No.
What is your relationship with Miss Huang Li Wen?
Miss Li Wen?
Why do you ask this?
You seem to be really concerned about her.
Your relationship with her is good, no?
Do you know him?
Others have no idea you have this son, right?
You always let him be at the village,
only meet with him once a year.
Only when Chinese New Year arrives,
will you send your hard-earned money to him.
It is not easy.
Mister,
I have only this one son.
I know you only have this son,
you do not want him to be hurt.
I do not want, I do not want!
I do not want.
As long you help us,
your son will be well.
I will, I will help you!
Here, let me tell you.
From now onwards,
you must remember...
extremely clearly...
each person she met,
each word she said,
each call she made.
And inform me.
Understood?
Has Miss Li Wen...
offended you two?
Then let me help her to apologise, please?
I am sorry, sorry!
Your son is very cute,
must never be hurt.
I know.
I will do,
I will do it.
Return then.
Do not let Miss Li Wen to be worried.
-Yes. -Wait!
Do not be lazy.
I would not be lazy.
Would not be lazy.
Sister, this is beautiful.
This is the bridesmaid dress I specially bought for you.
It is very beautiful, I spent a fortune on it.
I cannot wear this.
Why not...
you give to mum?
Sure, sure.
Then I will accept willingly.
Mum, this to you is...
12 o'clock in afternoon,
Miss Li Wen is in her sister's room,
chatting with her mum and sister on wedding.
No, no, sister...
never likes...
to wear this kind of...
clothes with revealing shoulder and back.
Am I right, sister?
Yes.
Fine, fine, sure.
Then let her...
try.
But sister, do try on for me.
I, I have put on weight recently.
Look at your tiny waist,
you certainly can wear.
Where are you fat?
Still quite thin.
Although not as good as me,
try for me please.
Mum, did you not say...
want to sew a silk brocade bag for Li Na?
Look at my ability to remember,
almost forgotten.
Mum,
why did you do all these?
You do not know.
Jujube, longan, peanuts and sunflower seeds...
have meaning,
to have a child as early as possible.
Sister, are you alright?
Are you worrying too much?
Later, I let Yun Fu to help you find one in his team.
From 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
Miss Li Wen is in living room...
preparing her sister's wedding red silk brocade bag.
Must not be a pilot.
Starting again.
Li Wen,
must not be a pilot.
It cannot be Young Master Zhi Cai too.
You can try to interact with...
anyone else...
who has good background.
You are the eldest and no longer young.
Have to be quick,
if married too late,
it will be difficult to give birth.
Stop it.
Miss Li Wen,
I have prepared the hot bath.
Miss Li Wen.
Have I not ask you to not help me to draw bath?
It is alright.
Thanks.
You are welcome.
After dinner,
Miss Li Wen stays in her own room,
there is nothing.
I knock at her door,
and heard her closing...
the drawer.
Young Master Zhi Cai.
Chief Jiang.
You are busy these days.
Helping Master Liu with stuffs again?
Master Liu has accepted some stamps.
I help him to estimate the worth.
Really?
Of course!
I am an outsider,
so Master Liu use us...
for important things.
Or does he need to find you?
Let me tell you...
the batch of stamps are very good.
Next time I will talk to you.
Next time.
Mister, are you choosing for friend,
or for family,
or for lover?
Not really a lover,
but closer than a friend.
For a woman you care about?
Guess so.
What is the personality of hers?
Is it active,
or demure?
She is very elegant...
or playful?
She is demure 70 percent of the time,
the other 30 percent is active.
Her outer appearance is elegant.
She is a bit playful...
deep inside.
Such a perfect woman.
Naturally must be complemented by perfect accessories.
Then,
I want beautiful ones,
the price does not matter.
What is the most expensive here?
-Let me have a look. -Sure.
Mister, what do you think of this?
It is lovely and elegant.
What is the price?
It is a bit expensive,
but is worth it.
Wrap it then.
Sure.
10 o'clock in the morning,
Miss Li Wen...
went to Doctor Tang's clinic.
Doctor Tang,
I want to leave Shanghai,
and return to behind the frontline.
My mum and...
my sister do not...
know of my wedding.
Moreover, the longer I stay,
the more obvious...
my pregnancy will be.
I do not hope to see unexpected things to happen,
neither do I want them to worry.
Thus...
Xiao Guang...
left so suddenly.
I still cannot accept...
the truth even now.
It is a blessing...
that he left me a child.
Now,
I just want to protect the child well.
Give birth to the child safely,
and raise the child to grow up healthily.
I do not want to be bothered...
with other stuffs.
Li Wen,
I understand your predicament.
I really understand.
There will be friends returning on 25th...
to the rear area.
If you are willing,
you can go together.
This opportunity is very rare.
You must prepare...
well enough...
and leave on time.
If you miss this chance,
it will be more difficult in the future.
I understand.
Thank you for your care...
throughout this time.
Wait for a while, Li Wen.
Have this.
This is for your folic acid supplement.
It is mainly to prevent...
fetal congenital diseases.
It will do to eat one each day.
This must be continue until after pregnancy.
Once you arrive at the rear area, you must find a...
gynaecologist named Chu Feng Ling.
He has a lot of experience.
I will contact him.
There will be no problem...
when you give birth and rest afterwards...
if he takes care of you.
Really,
thank you so much, Doctor Tang.
For the sake of the child,
you must learn to accept...
things that happened to Xiao Guang.
Of course I know.
It is easy to say these,
but to do them is difficult.
But life is like this.
Have a look, be it a happy...
or sad memory,
it will be certainly be a resting stop.
It will pass.
You must remember,
you are part of the organisation.
And will welcome your child...
in near future.
All these sadness...
will not trouble you for long.
Here, Huang Li Wen,
you will certainly be an...
excellent mother.
Miss Li Wen,
where have you been?
I have went to meet Doctor Tang.
Why do you not let Doctor Tang...
come to our house?
I do not dare to.
My mother keeps asking many questions regarding...
my irregular period.
You must not tell her.
It will be too troublesome.
I will not tell her.
Li Jie has come back.
Mum.
Here, pass to me.
So heavy.
Quick, quick.
Take this.
Two weeks before,
the institution gave me contigency expenses,
I have forgotten to bring home.
Have you been busy?
Li Jie, not that I want to say this,
it does not matter where you keep the money.
But it is different when you spend the money.
Just look at your contigency expenses,
why do you leave at the institution?
We could buy a few packs of rice last month.
But cannot even buy a few eggs...
this month.
Do you not know that if you leave it at...
the institution, the value will decrease?
Li Jie,
look at you using your brain every day,
your brain is affected.
Do not worry anymore.
Do your...
research well.
Come,
go upstairs and rest.
Follow mum.
Biased.
Li Na,
when you read these,
I have left.
Such a difficult separation.
I can only write on the paper.
Li Na,
my leaving this time...
is definitely not like back then,
because I am unhappy...
with this family.
But,
because I have my own problems.
I really do not want to leave you,
cannot bear to leave mum.
I initially thought...
both of you will never forgive me.
But you two have forgiven me.
Li Na,
take care of yourself well.
Take good care of mum.
I will come back.
By that time,
I will tell you all...
all about my secret.
Li Wen, I am coming in.
Li Wen, I want you to help me.
Sorry to disturb you.
It is alright.
I am practising calligraphy.
Li Wen, you...
Your calligraphy is so beautiful.
Later let Li Na...
learn with you.
Her calligraphy is not comparable to yours.
Too different.
You do not even know how to read,
how do you judge?
I know how to look.
Li Wen,
you are well educated.
I want you to help me.
Let me tell you,
Madam Qiao has dropped out from...
the Woman Representative's Contest.
Really?
Do you not know?
On the 25th,
there will be a voting session at the Chief Security Officer's house...
and see who has the highest votes.
Since Madam Qiao has dropped out,
I will definitely win.
I heard that...
on that day,
the woman representative will need to give a speech.
You quickly teach me...
to give a speech.
Then I help you to prepare a draft.
Sure, good.
In the afternoon,
Miss Li Wen...
is in her own room...
and discussing with her mother on the Woman Representative Contest.
Here it is.
This...
is silkie chicken soup.
And there is the sweet and sour Chinese perch,
corns cooked with pig's foot,
and soy sauce cooked chicken.
Today's dishes are too heavy.
This time I have managed to join in time.
Gui Fen,
why are there so many dishes?
Master, Madam,
all these...
are ordered by...
Young Master Zhi Cai...
this morning.
All these meat were...
sent to the kitchen.
I just cooked them up.
Go, go.
Dad, Mum,
Brother, Sister-in-law,
I have been out for three weeks.
I have not helped anything,
yet eat and use everything from home.
So today,
I have used these money...
to pay back my living expenses,
together with the interests.
I thank everyone at home...
for your support and encouragement.
Especially dad's teachings,
and mum, your concern about me.
Dad, did you not say that...
you have been eating a lot of vegetables recently?
I have bought these...
to improve on the meals we have.
Young brother, you are good.
All these are difficult to buy...
even in black markets...
given the high prices.
If not because of you,
we have to eat vegetables every day.
Brother, do not talk in such a serious tone.
Quickly eat.
Your business must be doing well,
young brother.
You must have earn a lot of money...
to buy things at the black market.
Dad, dad,
I really work legally.
I am helping the organisation,
managing the finances.
Do you not like to eat this pig's foot?
Eat while it is still hot.
Mum.
Mum, this is your favourite silkie chicken soup.
Brother, Sister-in-law,
this soy sauce cooked chicken is for you two.
Fish is for you.
I...
I want to go upstairs to work for a while.
Will come down immediately.
Brother, we are eating.
Wait.
Wait for Li Jie to return to eat together.
Everyone, just eat.
Later the dishes will be cold.
Mum, do eat.
Wait.
Dad, you eat too.
Later the dish will become cold.
It is not good for your health.
Ask you to wait.
Gui Fen,
go to Young Master Li Jie's room...
and look at what he is doing.
Sure.
Young Master Li Jie...
is working in his room.
If he works, let him works.
Why all of us have to wait for him as he works?
The dishes are getting cold, what to do now?
Eat, eat.
Mum, eat.
Mum,
it is not like you do not know your third son...
will forget to eat and rest once he starts to work?
He says he will come back,
but we do not know when he will do so.
Such an unpredictable future!
Later when the dishes are cold, all of them will be wasted.
Look, he is back now.
Eat then.
The dishes are cold.
Li Jie,
what sort of important work are you doing?
Leaving us here...
waiting for you...
while you return to work.
Zhi Cai, I have an...
idea just now.
So I return to room to record it down.
Can you not wait until after dinner?
Can a meal waste your time?
Did you not tell me...
when you entered the room?
The stocks' values...
will go up and down...
throughout time and space?
The calculations are the same.
If I stay here for another five minutes,
this idea will start to be foggy.
Thus, between time and space,
I have chosen time first.
Can you speak human language?
-Right -I cannot understand.
Li Jie is right.
The calculations he is talking about...
is akin to the meteor falling,
must catch it when it falls.
If not, one will miss it, right?
The ancient saying has the same meaning,
"Drink like a huge whale,
think like a thirsty man."
Never stop oneself when inspiration comes along.
-Right. -Absolutely cannot postpone.
So marvelous,
unexpectedly,
I am also inspired to deal with finances.
Cannot even postpone for one second.
Let me.
Hello,
it's me, Huang Li Wen.
Are you available now?
Let's go and watch the movie...
we talked about last time at Mei Mei Cinema.
Sure.
I'm available, no problem.
Then,
we meet at the cinema.
Alright, sure.
Don't wait for me.
I'll go and come back soon.
A-Er!
Miss.
Where are you going?
I saw Miss Li Wen going out.
The weather is not that good today,
likely will rain.
Li Wen going out to buy things,
you do not need to worry.
Look at this,
the lipstick stain...
is not removed.
I will wash again.
One more thing,
yesterday,
the bedspread is also not washed properly.
What is going on with you these two days?
You are not being focused.
I'll go and wash now.
Bedspread!
Alright, sure!
I do not know what you like to eat.
So I have bought this.
Have some.
You have some.
I thought you just say randomly...
when you said you want to watch...
movie last time.
You have no idea that...
when you called,
I was upset with my brother.
What's wrong with your brother?
Between you and your sister,
who does your mum love more?
I don't know.
But my mum said...
Li Na is prettier than me.
Don't listen to her.
You're more beautiful.
The truth is,
no matter how people see it,
I don't think you are bad.
Everyone knows...
your brother is famous,
is a great physicist.
But you are also clever.
After what we have gone through,
each of your responses have been quick.
This ability,
I don't think your brother has it.
They don't know me.
Only you know me well.
Today,
I actually have some things to tell you.
Tell me.
I'm leaving Shanghai.
What?
In the future,
we may...
meet again.
But we may also...
never meet again.
But no matter what happens,
I want to tell you face to face,
you're my best friend.
Throughout this time,
you have helped me a lot.
I have so many thanks...
to say to you.
This is a gift for you.
I hope you like it.
Why are you leaving suddenly?
Why will you leave?
Can you not leave?
Then where are you going next?
Do you mother and your sister...
able to part...
with you?
I have only inform you.
You must help me to keep it secret.
They do not know.
Do you want to leave without saying goodbyes?
Huang Li Wen, say something.
When are you leaving?
Soon?
First half of the year or second half?
Speak to me.
Are you afraid of something?
Tell me,
I can help you.
If it's Chief Chu,
I can help you to watch him.
I can go and find Master Liu.
I am your friend.
Tell me please.
Are you in debts?
Is it the loan sharks?
I will help to find a way.
I am no longer poor.
Trust me, I will find a way.
No, Qiao Zhi Cai.
I am fine.
Tell me,
tell me then.
I will leave first.
-You must take care. -Huang Li Wen.
Li Wen.
-A-Er. -Li Wen.
Is there anything?
Nothing.
There is.
Miss Li Wen,
at my village...
Did something happen at your village?
Is your money not enough?
It's alright, please wait for me.
I don't have much either.
You take first to settle things.
Thank you, Miss Li Wen.
Sister,
come and help me to look.
I'm afraid to miss anyone.
So many invitation cards,
do you need to have such a grand event?
I have checked the calendar.
New Year's Eve is suitable for weddings.
Are you sure...
is a New Year's Eve wedding?
Sister, how many times must you ask me?
Yun Fu says it clearly.
How is it possible for me to forget?
But,
it's impossible to invite so many people.
This is not many.
My wedding...
will be graced by many ladies and gentlemen.
Let you have a look.
These...
are all my sponsors,
all the big bosses who have supported me previously.
When I marry,
they will be the saddest.
They all cry and shout...
to follow me when I marry.
And then, over here,
are all my colleagues and friends at Paramount.
There are those who help me to make up,
those who dance with me.
And those who help me...
to handle the gangsters.
The reality is I thank these...
people the most.
Sister,
and over this side,
these...
are my most important...
family,
sister, mother and A-Er.
How is it?
Have I not prepared well?
Well it's quite good.
But our house cannot...
accommodate these many people.
Don't worry,
all the rooms in Fu Xing Restaurant...
have been booked by me.
The guests can all wait there when the time comes.
However,
I do not even invite one person...
from Yun Fu's family.
After all, Yun Fu has said...
he will cut off relationship...
with them.
And those from our community,
those who are annoying,
I do not even invite one of them.
Li Na, like this,
look.
You are getting married in such a grand manner,
and invite so many guests.
But Captain Wu...
is alone when he marries.
Is it not...
a bit out of the norms?
At least,
invite some of his friends.
I want to do so.
But his friends are all in Guangzhou.
There's still one old friend...
who is here.
-Who? -Li Jie.
I am not inviting Qiao Li Jie.
Look at you,
you don't invite those who cannot come.
Neither are you inviting those who can.
Then who will you...
let to be...
Captain Wu's best man?
Well, what you said makes some sense.
I know,
you do not like Qiao Li Jie.
Then, I will send his...
invitation card, alright?
Sure.
But no matter what,
I want to tell you face to face,
you are my best friend.
We may...
still be able to meet.
But we may also...
not be able to meet anymore.
Chief, the person has arrived.
Greetings, Mister.
This, you have a look.
What is this?
I do not how to write.
I only know how to draw.
Let me explain to you.
This means going out.
This is our Miss Li Wen.
She went to see doctor.
White rabbit!
The doctor's surname is Tang.
Doctor Tang.
Is your Miss Li Wen...
not feeling well?
Yes.
Miss Li Wen has irregular period.
This Doctor Tang...
is the gynaecologist...
in our society.
Anything else?
No more.
Before you answer my question,
you'd better think of your son.
Let me ask you again.
Is there anything else?
I... Let me think again.
There... There is one more thing.
Every night,
Miss Li Wen...
will be inside her room...
for a long time.
Once I knock at the door,
I will hear the sound of the drawer being closed.
Mister,
our Miss Li Wen is a kind person.
Miss Li Wen is a kind person.
I am not a kind person.
No, no, it's not that.
All of you are kind people,
you are kind people.
Continue to watch.
Will find you anytime.
Let's go.
Chief,
do you think Miss Li Wen...
hide something at her home?
Maybe a transceiver or something.
This can be a possibility.
Our opportunity has arrived.
We are considered to...
have fight to death.
These things should have never...
trouble you to help.
But you are my...
my friend here.
Really.
But no matter what,
I want to tell you face to face,
you are my best friend.
A-Er,
A-Er!
Miss Li Wen.
I go out for awhile.
Sure.
-A-Er. -Young Master Qiao.
Greetings, nice to meet you.
I want to...
find Miss Li Wen.
Is she at home?
