(Lost in 1949)
Young Master Yi Yin, let me do it. Let me.
No, Iet me do it. Let me do it.
I will do it.
Yi Yin, slow down a bit.
You scared me.
-See how happy you are. -Yes.
Today is a meaningful day.
Gui Fen, bring that wine here.
Bring it here.
Mom.
I will drink with Zhi Cai first.
Alright.
Zhi Cai.
Thank you for saving the house,
Let me toast you.
Brother.
There is no need for courtesy.
That was my job.
Zhi Cai.
I will propose a toast to you too.
Glad that you mend your mistake at the end.
Or we would have ended up sleeping on the street.
Thank you.
Here.
Alright, brother, sister-in-law. Please.
Zhi Cai, I want to ask you something.
What is it, sister-in-law?
How did you get...
the 2 gold bars?
Have I not told you before?
I work in an organisation.
I deal with finance matters.
I strive for them. It is legal.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that.
If that is legal, then it is fine.
I am just afraid that something bad happens.
Just like 2 years ago.
If you're being framed again,
and go back to jail again.
What should we do then?
It is legal, sister-in-law.
A philosopher Heraclitus...
once said that,
you could not step...
into the same river twice.
For the same reason,
I also believe brother will not do so.
Cheers.
Li Jie.
Brother.
Are you working?
Yes.
Then...then let us talk about it some other day.
Brother.
Do you have something to talk with me?
Li Jie, I just want to ask.
How...
Why would you save me through...
Asset Management Committee?
It wasn't me who came up with this solution.
It was Miss Huang Li Wen...
who convinced me to do so.
Huang Li Wen told you that?
Right.
She asked me to think of a day.
If there is a day without you,
being your younger brother...
what would I feel?
I thought about it carefully.
I cannot live without you.
Miss Huang...
had been working very hard for you...
for the entire night.
Brother.
Nothing.
Li Jie.
What happened to you recently?
I am quite confused about you now.
You did not care...
about these stuffs before.
Last time,
you don't even bother to look at me.
But now you seem to treat me differently.
You've become a considerate man.
I haven't got used to it yet.
What happened to you?
Li Jie.
Are you...
in love?
In love?
Li Jie.
You are falling in love for the first time.
Brother Zhi Cai.
You mentioned about being in love.
The feeling of falling in love...
does it feel like...
caring about someone...
and think that this person...
is different from any other one in this world?
That is right.
This is the feeling.
Tell me about it.﻿
Who is this woman?
This is my secret.
(Zhenning Village)
Li Wen.
(Chun Zhen)
Drink it and nourish your body.
No, thank you.
Give it to your family.
This is good stuff.
I was being a jerk yesterday...
for saying those nonsense.
Actually, being married and pregnant...
are all good things.
I should have given you blessings.
I am sorry.
Li Jie told me that...
I could come out safely...
because of you.
I did not do much.
Li Wen.
What happened to my father...
has delayed your departure.
I feel really sorry too.
But I can still mend it.
I know a lot of people.
I can get...
a ticket for you.
You and your husband...
can reunite.
You won't be able...
to get a ticket for me.
I can. I know a lot of people.
I have many ways.
I can definitely buy it.
He is not in the rear area.
Then where is he?
Please wait here for a moment.
Alright.
You made the wordless tombstone for your husband.
He passed away.
He is the father of my child.
I am sorry.
I should have told you earlier.
I am the one who should say sorry.
I am sorry.
How long...
have you been married?
Quite a long time.
I knew him since...
I graduated from technical college.
I was just an accountant back then.
An accountant in the factory.
He was the smartest person in the whole factory.
We were together that time.
And...
we got married after.
Please do not be angry with...
the words I said before.
I will not.
Why would I be angry about it?
It is not your fault. You knew nothing about it.
But if you need anything in the future,
you can still tell me about it.
After all,
we are still friends.
I can help.
I know you will.
But there are a lot of things that...
you are not able to help.
And you have no reason for help.
Miss Huang.
This is my friend.
Mrs. Zhu.
Last time,
I am sorry for leaving you alone.
I am just about to contact you.
I come to bid you farewell.
There are something that...
I do not know who should I talk to.
Can you come to my house today?
Greetings.
Miss Huang, who is this man?
He is my neighbour.
I still have something to do now.
Why don't you go back first?
Mister.
Come. Come here.
Miss Huang, let us take rickshaw.
Li Wen.
You better take Mr. Wang's rickshaw.
He has been waiting us for a long time.
Mrs. Zhu, see?
Mr. Wang has been waiting for us for a long time.
We promised him before.
We said we would be leaving with his rickshaw.
How about...
Alright.
There is no need anymore, mister.
I am sorry.
How about you?
I will find my way back.
(Sauce and Pickles Shop) Here we are.
Miss Huang, follow me.
Alright.
You do not need to wait for me. Thank you.
Alright. Thank you.
Here. Just go inside.
Someone is moving out.
So it is a bit messy here.
Please, please come in.
Miss Huang.
Please come in and have a seat.
Have a seat please.
Here, have a cup of tea.
-Here. -Thank you.
Miss Huang.
Actually, the reason I went to the cemetry today...
is to see whether...
I can find you there.
I had no other way.
I do not know where my family members are.
There is only a thought in my head.
Since they passed away,
I want to know what did they do.
If they are alive...
I want to find them.
Not knowing whether they are alive or not...
is torturing me.
I can not bear it anymore.
Thank you.
Just stay a bit longer.
No. Someone is nearby. Stay still.
Well, listen to me.
Well...
Zhi Cai, you're back.
You wear your hair down.
I...I am preparing hot water...
to wash my hair.
My face? It there anything on my face?
After wearing your hair down,
you look so different.
People always say...
hairstyles are important for women.
This woman.
A secret agent.
I saw her once in Secret Service.
Miss Huang.
No wonder she dared not look into my eyes.
She was afraid that I would expose her.
I am looking for you.
-Mr. Qiao. -Where did Miss Huang go?
Something has come up in her house.
I need to find her now.
Hurry.
Miss Huang.
After talking with you...
I feel much better.
I know we are in similar position.
We are in the same boat.
Hurry.
Hurry, hurry.
Is she here?
Yes, yes, that is right.
Which house? Which one?
I do not know either. I parked just in front of the door.
She got off and went inside.
Alright. Thank you.
Hey, may I ask you?
There is a woman about this height.
She wears a windbreaker, a hat and carries a bag.
Have you seen her?
Do you think I have time to look at women?
I did not see any.
Thank you.
Miss, miss.
What is it?
There's a woman.
Pretty skinny, she wears windbreaker.
Did she pass by here?
Did you see where was she going?
There seemed to be such a...a woman.
She seemed to go there.
She was wearing a hat, right?
That is right.
Thank you.
Get out of my way.
You are so weird. Are you not selling candies?
I am not selling it to you, go away.
I have money. Are you looking down on me?
Are you deaf or what?
Better get out of my way or I will beat you.
You jerk. Jerk!
Chief.
You two.
Stay right here.
Are you lifting it or not?
Anything here?
Nothing. It is rather quiet here.
Miss Huang. I know that we are rather strangers.
But please help me.
I have no other way.
I know about your difficulties.
But how can I help you?
I am not going to lie then.
I...
I think my family members are...
the communists.
Can you think of a way...
and try to contact them?
Let's go upstairs and see.
Chief, everything is ready now.
We just need her words now.
Just keep waiting.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Be careful.
Li Wen.
Fire! It is on fire!
Somebody put out the fire!
What happened out there?
Mrs. Zhu, should we take a look?
Do not ever go out at this kind of moment.
Why is there smoke?
Fire! Fire!
Everyone, please help to put out the fire.
There's a fire.
Fire! Please help!
Mrs. Zhu, there's a fire. Really!
What a heavy smoke.
You better go out, hurry.
-Do not stay inside anymore. -Well...
Let's stay inside.
Miss Huang. Miss Huang.
You can not go out.
Mrs. Zhu.
Huang Li Wen. It is me. It is me!
You're being set up!
Go, hurry.
Go! Go!
Hurry. Get on the rickshaw.
Move, hurry.
What happened?
I do not know. It catches fire all of a sudden.
Go and put out the fire.
Where is she?
I have no idea.
Step aside.
Make way! Make way!
Make way!
If...
If you had not recognise her...
and saved me,
I do not know how terrible it would be.
Chu tried so hard.
He sent Mrs. Zhu to your side.
They try to trick you using your emotion.
And expose you to fatal danger.
Glad that you are fine.
How about you?
Are you alright?
Are you hurt?
I...I am fine.
Just...I do not know...
what made me so brave that time.
Normally,
I would not even dare to jump...
between rooftops.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
Thank you.
You just rushed all the way here.
Is your child all right?
But...
I feel scared now.
I do not know...
what they will do next...
to take my life.
Huang Li Wen.
Let's get married.
You... Do you know what you're talking about?
How is that possible?
Chu Chief...
He will not just let you off.
Once he thinks you're a communist,
he will never give up.
Why are you two following me?
Look at me.
What did I say before the action?
I said,
Do not act rashly and alert them.
Be steady.
What did you tell me?
What about now?
Why are you still standing here?
Go and search for clues and evidences.
Go and investigate...
Huang Li Wen's social relationship,
Yes sir.
You are pregnant now.
How can you fight against them?
If he knows the fact that you are pregnant,
there will be even more plots and tricks.
You have to protect yourself.
And also you child.
How hard will it be?
I...after all, I work with Master Six from Secret Service.
Chu will not dare to bother me.
That is impossible.
I can not...
I will put you in danger.
How can I make you to cover me?
Let's not talk about...
Chu first.
Do you know what kind of place...
is Zhenning Village?
People there...
seem to be people of high moral standard.
But they are very conservative.
But they are also dark insinde.
They will talk behind you.
Saying that you, as a woman,
give birth to a child without being married.
It may be better if they just talk behind you.
After you give birth,
the child will be excluded or teased.
Can you handle that?
You mom, and your sister.
They will definitely question you...
about the father of the child.
What are you going to say?
I can just move out then.
Even though you try so hard....
and finally move out,
Chu will still follow you.
He will follow you...
and your child.
Living with worry and fear,
can you take it?
You tried so hard and finally...
reunite with your mother and sister.
Are you willing to leave them...
without saying a word?
Do not say anymore.
I will not marry you.
Do not think about it anymore.
I will not put you in such a danger.
I cannot do it.
Huang Li Wen.
I am not such a great man as you think.
We are all adults.
Do not be so naive.
Am I such a great man?
If I marry you,
we'll both benefit from this.
We can both get what we want.
If I marry you,
I will cover your identity.
You...
You can give me money.
There is no need to lie about it.
I need money now.
I need money so badly.
It is not me who needs money, to be precise.
It is my family.
My house...
Your house?
Did you not save your house already?
The landlord already told Li Na.
That is right.
I got the money...
to save our house.
But...
I went to the loan shark...
borrowed two gold bars from them.
You borrowed from loan shark?
-I had no other way. -Have you lost your mind?
I had no other way.
That landlord put too much pressure on me.
And think about...
my family status in Zhenning Village.
If we can't even keep our house,
how should we face other people?
Plus, I am the head of the family.
If I do not take the responsibility, then who will?
This is the only way I can think of.
That is the reason I have to marry you.
Your family is quite wealthy.
If we get married,
you will bring me some dowries.
They must worth quite a bit.
There might be 1 or 2 gold bars.
Huang Li Wen.
You understand what do loan sharks do.
They told me,
if I fail to return money this month,
they will come to my house.
They will come to my house...
and slash me to death.
Li Wen.
Our marriage will be a trade.
You have to help me.
Do you... do you really want they to kill me?
I..I...
That... that...
Will... will that...
Will the marriage...
be a fake marriage?
A marriage...
without that kind of relationship.
What... what kind of relationship?
That... that kind of relationship.
Of course not.
How can we do that?
Huang Li Wen.
I am a gentleman.
We will not have that kind of relationship.
This will be...
a fake marriage.
Then...
Is that alright?
Then...
Please help me.
Then...
Alright.
Great.
But I...
I can not say yes right now.
Alright.
I will leave you some time.
Think about it carefully.
Let me think about it.
I have to confess.
I am not careful enough.
I believed in Mrs. Zhu so easily.
This is a thorough plan set up by the Secret Service.
Fortunately they did not succeed at the end.
But this trap will definitely not...
be the last one.
There will more dangerous situations...
targeting you.
So now we must think about...
how to cover you.
You are pregnant now.
You do not have a legal husband.
In a community like Zhenning Village...
you will be the target of attention and gossips.
How can you still work for the organization?
And I'm worried that...
it will affect your personal life very badly.
In fact...
I am seeking permission from the organisation to get married.
Get married?
With who?
Qiao Zhi Cai.
The child needs a father.
I have no other way.
I have not told my mother and sister yet...
about the fact that I am pregnant.
In the following days.
It will be more obvious that I am pregnant.
And I can no longer hide it.
But Qiao Zhi Cai...
Do not worry about it, Dr. Tang.
And please tell the organization not to worry about it.
Even though I will marry Qiao Zhi Cai,
I will never leak the organisation's information to him.
The organisation trusts you, of course.
I also know that you went through difficulties...
along with Qiao Zhi Cai.
And he is not a man who fears death and clings to life.
But marriage is not the same thing.
It is one of the most important matters in life.
Have both you and Qiao Zhi Cai...
thought about it?
About marriage...
Qiao Zhi Cai was the one who proposed it.
When something so dangerous happened today,
he was the one who rescued me in time.
Regarding my identity...
and also my pregnancy,
He all knows about it.
I trust him very much.
But...
Do you love him?
Huo Lian.
This Hong Kong currency is for you.
After you return,
destroy the fake transceiver, hurry.
It must be done as soon as possible.
When we need to send message of Homecoming Operation to headquarter,
we need your help,
you must be a safe communication center.
Alright, I understand.
Secret Service is forcing us hard these days.
They are getting bold.
You need to be more careful.
Alright. I am leaving, Wu.
Have you made up your mind?
That is great.
-But... -No "but".
But...
your family has been despising my family.
How can we get married then?
Dinner is ready.
Brother. Sister-in-law.
Mom. It is time for dinner.
Have a seat.
Gui Fen, call Li Jie here for dinner.
Is everyone satisfied with...
the food recently?
Of course we do.
The food has been great lately.
Have a seat.
It used to be quite well.
Just...dad...
He loved drinking wine.
They are all branded wines.
The hairy crabs that he loved are also expensive.
Mom.
Zhi Cai, you are acting too humble.
You manage our family better than I did.
This is just like...
a student who surpasses his master in learning.
I really like it.
It is because you have faith in me.
Of course I do.
From now on...
you'll take care of the small matters,
and make decisions for the important matters in this family.
Mom, brother, sister-in-law.
I have something with moderate importance.
Before dinner,
let me tell you about it.
Say it.
Recently...
I am in a serious relationship...
with a woman.
After carefully observing...
her personalities,
I proposed to her.
And she said yes.
So we then decided that...
next week,
we will hold our wedding ceremony.
Who are you marrying?
That must be Qiao Zhi Cai.
Have you discussed...
with Qiao Zhi Cai already?
Have you decided the date?
Should I take you to a good fortune-teller...
and ask him for suitable date?
Mom.
You approve sister getting married with Qiao?
That is just a matter of time.
Li Wen.
I will go fetch something for you.
Sister.
Are you really going to marry Qiao?
That is right.
I disapprove!
What?
Brother, you're getting married?
Zhi Cai.
You never tell us anything,
this is quick.
I wonder which family does my sister-in-law...
come from?
This fiancée of yours,
let alone meeting here,
we have not even heard anything about her.
That is right, Zhi Cai.
Marriage is an important matter.
This is too sudden.
Mom.
In our family, marriage is only important...
for a great physicist like Li Jie.
My marriage...
is only about getting a wife.
It's a small matter.
I am not planning...
to get married.
I am going upstairs and work.
Mom.
Look at that, look at that.
You have to tell Li Jie.
He shouldn't think like that.
Zhi Cai.
Do not try to change the subject.
Marrying someone is not a childish game.
If we follow the customs,
we have to set up a banquet.
And invite that girl to our house for a meal.
After getting mom's approval,
only then you can get married.
Also, details of cash gifts,
dowry, banquet,
and wedding cakes,
these must be discussed between two families.
Sister-in-law.
You know...
it's not that peaceful nowadays.
What is the point of following...
so many customs?
Just like what Cai A-San always says.
Why go through so much trouble?
It's just about sleeping with a woman.
Zhi Cai.
If you want to keep it simple,
I am fine with that.
But no matter whose daughter she is,
she will live with us...
after you get married.
We should meet her, is that right?
Mom, do you know why I am getting married?
