(Lost in 1949)
Sisters!
Coming! Coming!
Boss Qin's inviting you to his place again.
-Are you happy? -Yes!
-This is for Miss Anna. -Thank you.﻿
-This is for Miss Lisa. -Thank you.
-This is for Miss Dai Lin. -Thank you.
-And yours. -How about me?
-Where's mine? -It's here. Here you go.
Thank you. Thank you.
Qin Residence.
I like it there.
I'm sorry, Miss Li Na.
Li Na wasn't invited to any event recently.
Told you.
Being a blood sister is a bad idea.﻿
She went for wool but came home with shorn.
That's why she's neglected now.
That's right.
Fine. Stop it.
It's show time. Let's go.
Wait for me!
-Quick, come along! -Quick!
Miss Li Na.
I'm really sorry.
I'd asked the people at Qin Residence.
But they didn't bother to reply.
What do you expect them to say?
Everybody knew about the reason behind this.
I'm excluded from events, dinners and balls.
That's because I've offended Master Six.
Politically speaking, it's called economic sanction.
Then you should apologize to Master Six.
If this persists, you'll have nothing left.
You'll go bankrupt soon.
Apology won't help either.
It's your call, Young Mistress Li Wen.
Coming.
-Hello. -Sister.
I would like to bring you on a movie date tonight.
Sure.
Don't you have to work? Still have time for movie?
Just forget about it.
I'm about to be unemployed thanks to Master Six.
Okay, see you tonight.
Okay.
Do you have time, Li Jie? We need to talk.
I have to work now.
Okay.
Your work is more important.
Did sister-in-law tell you about it?
I always thought it was Cai A-San who stole my wine.
I didn't steal it.
You weren't there when I took it.
So you're innocent?
Do you know how much they cost in the black market?
Sixty silver coins each, you know?
Sorry, I didn't know about that.
Fine, tell me.
What made you need to drink the sorrows away?
Brother.
I didn't mind you drinking my expensive wine.
Can't you tell me the reason that made you drink?
Because I'm upset.
Sister in-law said that...
I'll feel better after drinking some wine.
That wife of mine...
Fine. Fine.
I still have 2 bottles with me.
I'll bring them over and we'll drink together.
I would love to know...
the reason why you're upset.
Which movie are we watching?
I'm not in a good mood. Let's watch comedy.
Li Na.
I think it isn't a bad thing that Master Six's neglecting you.
He imposed sanction on you...
to force you to give in to him because of financial constraints.
But if you make it through, he won't come after you anymore.
But how do I make it through?
Sister.
Our income from the dance hall is negligible.
Our main income comes from social occasions.
Some cash and gifts.
But the entire social circle is pushing me out now.
I'm about to use up my savings.
So do you want to start your own business?
-Business? -Yes.
There's high chance of great deficit.
I'm not rich after all.
I can't bear more losses.
Stop frowning.
Perhaps I can ask Qiao Zhi Cai for help about Master Six's matter.
That's great.
He's clever, he sure will come up with a solution.
He's good in investment too.
Let him teach you the right way to manage your savings.
He'll know better than me...
regarding how much gold bar and US dollars you can get.
Okay.
I envy you, sister.
Your husband is a good man. You don't have to worry about anything.
Who was the one who stopped me from getting married then?
What are you staring at?
Nothing.
If...
If you weren't going overseas,
I bet you wouldn't even tell me the secret, right?
What's said is said.
What can I do?
It's better not to let out a secret.
Or else things will get awkward.
Actually...
I suffer every time I see you with Li Wen.
I feel bad for you.
Raise you head.
Why do you always look down whenever I talk about Li Wen?
Li Jie.
Stop it.
Please stop it.
You haven't been yourself lately.
What should I do, brother?
What should I do?
Let me tell you a secret.
Don't say a word to anybody.
Okay.
My marriage with Li Wen is fake.
She doesn't love me.
The child in her belly is not mine.
It's her ex-husband's.
Her husband's dead.
I'm telling the truth.
(Mei Mei Cinema)
Don't forget to ask brother in-law for suggestion when you got back, sister.
I know.
Didn't you use to hate seeing him?
Why do you seem to admire him now?
I didn't hate seeing him! I was just...
having prejudice against him.
But that was not my fault, I think...
Sister, you're lagging behind.
Looking at the way Mrs. Qiao treats us.
I thought his son wouldn't be too much different.
It's the liking and hating principle.
If I knew that he is such a trustworthy person,
I'll definitely bring both of you together. Right?
There's something I need to do, Li Na.
My mother in-law wanted me to get her a towel on my way back.
Why don't you go home first?
Let's go together since we're on the same way.
No, we aren't.
She wanted English Crown towel, only Da Tong Supermarket sells that.
Perhaps we'll chat next time.
Fine, I better get going.
Be careful of your safety.
(Maotai Wine)
Brother.
Do you like Li Wen?
Of course I do.
You?
I like her too.
You still like her even though you've known her secret?
Your fake marriage and her child with former husband,
aren't the reasons to determine whether to like her or not.
Accurately speaking,
they have nothing to do with my feelings for her.
Nothing at all.
What a simple world you scientists live in.
Why are you telling me the secrets, brother?
I told you to remind you that...
you have the right to go after Li Wen.
Brother.
That's not what I wanted.
Xiao Guang?
Is that you?
It's me.
Why?
Love isn't about possessing someone.
What I really wanted is to see her happy.
I want to make her happy too.
Do you know women well enough?
How can you make her happy if you don't.
I don't think I'm that ignorant.
What do you know?
Playing her that orchestra.
You should be thankful that she didn't run away.
You have your ways, brother.
And I have mine.
I am always ready to learn and improve.
Fine then.
Then we're now in a fair competition.
We'll see who can make Li Wen happier.
Okay.
Is that really you, Xiao Guang?
It's me.
Why?
Why did they say that you...
We shouldn't speak here.
Follow me.
I'll bring you somewhere.
I...
Can I explain to you tomorrow?
I can't go with you.
I'm staying at Da Guang Ming Hotel.
First floor, the room that faces east.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll wait for you.
You're back, Li Wen.
Li Wen.
Why aren't you asleep at this hour?
I'm sleepy.
-Li Wen. -Li Wen.
What movie did you watch with Miss Fei today?
Brother.
Why is Li Wen ignoring me?
Are you having problem with your hearing?
Li Wen said that she's tired.
I can't wait for you to understand.
I better go up and bring her to bed.
I'm tired too.
Work hard.
Beware, it's hot.
Come on.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Just tired.
I'm going to bed.
You seem to be having a bad mood after watching the movie.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Did you have a nightmare?
I'll bring you some water.
Drink it.
It's cold.
Go to sleep.
Sleep.
(Zhenning Village)
Li Wen.
Let's go to the park since the weather is good.
Li Jie will be coming with us.
I've promised Li Na to shop for clothes together.
Don't stand for too long.
Or else you'll be uncomfortable.
Let her walk.
Find a place to sit and rest when she's shopping.
(Hua Tai Trading Company)
(Ke Mei Photography and Equipments)
(Hua An Insurance)
Li Jie.
Li Wen is not going to the park.
She's going out with her sister to shop.
We're not going out either.
You work at home.
I have to look for a new gynecologist for her.
Gynecologist?
That's right.
Dr. Tang has left for Hong Kong with his wife.
Don't stray around.
The Security Service is eyeing on you.
Brother.
I'll go with you.
Don't you need to work?
It won't affect my work.
I work for 8 hours.
Rest for 2 and exercise for 1.
I'll look for a gynecologist for Li Wen with you.
I can rest and exercise at the same time.
-It's not a problem. -Li Jie.
Even though we're in a fair competition,
but we don't have to do the same thing together.
It's resource replication. It's a wastage.
I'll look for the gynecologist.
You'll work at home.
Brother, the doctors you know are all traditional ones.
But I know those who studied overseas.
They must be better than yours.
You're belittling me.
Yes I am.
Let's go.
(Da Guang Ming Hotel)
How did you know...
that I was in the cinema yesterday?
Could it be that...
you know that I live in Zhenning Village?
And that I'm married?
I do.
Then why do you look for me now?
Why?
I didn't wish for this.
I was forced to do so.
I miss you.
I wanted to look for you.
But I'm filled with hatred now.
I hate myself.
Quick, Li Jie.
Quick. It's dusty here.
My nose is itchy.
I think you're allergic to words, brother.
-Do you mean I'm uncivilized? -Silent.
I'm choosing books for sister-in-law.
Buying books for Li Wen?
Let's see.
American Parental Guide?
Mom and Baby?
This is good. This is good.
-What are you doing? -I'm buying these books.
I can't let you pay alone.
We can share the cost.
You're stealing my ideas.
You should pay for the books you chose.
What?
You've picked everything. What else can I choose?
Ten comrades.
They are all capable and outstanding.
Our meeting was highly confidential.
The ambush by the spies was unexpected.
We fired with all our might.
We had to cover each other even we were shot.
Ba and Xiao Bai Tuo could have been saved.
But they're dead...
while they were covering me.
Can you imagine that?
Everybody is dead.
I've been thinking for very long time.
Why would that happen?
What went wrong?
Who leaked the information?
I finally understood.
There was traitor among us.
Are you sure?
Therefore I decided not to come back.
I did not report to the organization...
nor telling anybody that I'm alive.
Because I want to investigate secretly.
I have to find out the truth.
I have to find out the murderer who betray our organisation!
But I've never thought that you would stay.
Nor you'll get married again.
But what can I do?
That's the price I have to pay.
Not for myself.
But for Ba and Xiao Bai Tuo.
For my brothers who'd sacrificed,
I've to do something for them!
But what can I do?
I missed you.
I wanted to look for you.
But I could't.
Don't blame me.
I couldn't do it.
I don't blame you.
How could I?
This baby...
is yours.
Qiao Zhi Cai and I...
we're not together.
(Zhen Chang Leather Shoes)
This shop's not bad.
Li Wen could use some of that.
Welcome.
How can I help you, Sir?
It's really nice.
Sister-in-law could use some of these.
They are all imported.
Boss.
3 sets of nursing bottles and pacifiers.
Same for me.
Why do we need so many?
Li Wen is not having twins.
I forbid you to buy.
Sister-in-law might needs these too.
-What's this? -This is...
This is a maternity belt.
It helps to ease the pressure on the spine of a pregnant lady.
It acts as a physical support.
This is great.
I'll have this. I'll leave the nursing bottles and pacifiers to you. Okay?
Not okay.
So scientists are classier?
Relating everything to physics when you buy things for a pregnant lady?
Physics is actually everywhere in our life.
The nuclear physics that you do.
It's related to our life too?
Of course.
Isn't it for weapon making?
The nuclear bomb that the American dropped in Japan was devastating.
I heard that all the people and animals died.
Even the land can't be used, is it true?
Yes.
Since...
Since the nuclear physics is harmful.
Why are you still studying about it?
I don't want to defend the nuclear bomb.
But nuclear physics is not a bad thing.
The nuclear physics that I work on is neutral.
Whether it benefits or destroys human race,
the choice is in our hands.
Nuclear physics...
I hope that it can be applied in human's everyday life in the future.
What can be applied in our daily life?
Nuclear physics has extensive usages.
For example, agriculture.
We can cause mutation by exposing organisms to radiation.
We can radiate the seeds of paddy and wheat to increase production,
and also their quality.
For example, heavy industry.
We normally use manpower to check on big vehicles like planes and ships.
We can use radiometer to locate and check effectively in the future.
It has even more usages in medical field.
We can detect diseases that can't be seen by naked eyes using radiation.
What I said is only a small part of the use of nuclear physics.
It's also a small part of applied science.
I strongly believe that...
with the help of science, we can create a whole new world.
In that world, there'll be more food and less famine.
By then,
humans will be healthier, and life will be happier.
I'm not sure whether I'll live in a world like that.
I'll persist no matter what.
Well, Li Jie.
A scientist like you who puts the country ahead of everything,
is now spending time on the happiness of a woman?
Brother.
You said that it's a fair competition.
-Li Wen. -Sister-in-law.
Where did you go with Li Na?
We went to Xin Xin Supermarket.
Li Jie and I were there at noon, we didn't see you.
I thought you went to the park?
You were there shopping too?
I've bought some books about maternity for you, sister-in-law.
I bought some books too.
It's on the bedside, you can read before sleep.
Sister-in-law.
Have you heard about maternity belt specially designed for pregnant woman?
-It's... -What is it?
It's just elastic belt.
It's expensive but Li Jie insisted to buy.
I think it's useless.
I have everything I need at home, Li Jie.
I don't care much about materials.
That's right.
What a big spender.
Since you're not after material, let's talk about spiritual.
Let me play some good music for you, okay?
Let's go up.
Good music.
So you're listening to music.
Brother, you might not like the music that we're listening to.
