Everyone is responsible
to report espionage
To hide it
is also a crime
Severe punishment for them
That instigated the rebel's mind
To undermine the government
The sentence is death
Everyone is responsible
to report espionage
Good morning, sir
Wear your hat properly
Do it
What is in your bag?
Open
Good morning, sir
I told you not to bring it here
Open the bag
Open
Don't bring this to school
or you will be punished
Come to my office when resting
Thank you sir
You stupid
He can find the book
Wei Zhong-ting
thank you
Looking at the girl again?
I heard Instructor Bai was looking for Sheng's school bag
Not a big problem
Don't worry about that
If he is not careful
we will die when we are caught
We better not be seen
In the eyes of Instructor Bai
Salute to the flag!
Incredible view
Abundant results
We are the best
In East Asia
Never leave hope
or keep quiet
The glory of our nation
Make a better world
Come in
Anything new?
Tagore
Have you finished it?
Now it's my turn
Wait
Not yet
Are you copying the illustrations?
No wonder you brought it
I just want to copy everything in it
What if we don't want to read it again?
Come on
well
You have to draw it properly
Looks ugly. Do it again
You call this ugly?
How about that?
Bell?
Better than yours
Meanwhile, Dragon Warrior
come from Sky
to attack the devil with a surprise
Hey
Give it back
I am a mighty Dragon warrior
Instructor Bai scares me almost to death today
Today we read Tagore
Not only because he is an important Indian poet
But also a philosopher who opposed British colonialism
Leaves become flowers
when is love
Weren't we all born free?
We really believe that
while we hide in the school warehouse
copy those valuable pages, word for word
But ironically
we lived in that era
Talk about freedom is a crime
and reading forbidden books will cost us our lives
Tell me
Where did the books come from?
Are you conspiring against the government?
Admit it
or die with your friends
Hey
There is no testimony if he dies
God damn it
We pulled out all the fingers
and get nothing
What is worst is not tortured
by Garrison Command
but that nightmare
I say that to myself every day
as long as I die
I never dreamed about Greenwood High School
or one of them in the book club
or Fang Ray-shin
But when I lose consciousness
I realize
it is the beginning of the worst nightmare
Mr. Zhang
Mr. Zhang!
Country
will thank you
you
Why are you still in school?
I dozed off
Me too
Everyone left when I woke up
I feel
never dreamed about this before
I didn't know we had a grave here
without a name on it
Let's go
You remember
what happens before you fall asleep?
I do not remember anything
The road is gone
Hey
Why aren't you sitting down?
Very dusty
By the way
My name is Wei Zhong-ting
I'm Fang Ray-shin
I know
You're a model student
I saw your article on the bulletin board
How can I compare you
Write that taboo in your workbook
You might get arrested by Instructor Bai
Afraid if I tell anyone?
Hello?
Only static
Hello?
Mr. Zhang?
Get out of here
Mr. Zhang?
Hello?
I did not hear anything
Mr. Zhang is still here
But that was the only phone call at school
Are you sure that's him?
Yes I am sure
Even if he calls from another place
How did he know we were at school?
The windows are sealed
I don't think Mr Zhang is inside
Specific subversive groups
Have been found
In school
What does it mean?
Where is he going?
Mr. Zhang was searched
And Miss Yin too
Having a bad day?
Already feel better when I see you
Did Instructor Bai give you a hard time?
Fang
What do you see?
There is no
What is wrong?
Fang
Come with me
What's this for?
Doesn't that mean someone is dead?
Where are we going?
To the guard for the key
What key?
I go to the warehouse
Aren't we here for Mr. Zhang?
Something happened to our book club
Mr. Zhang is one of us
He follows
Mr. Gao
Can I borrow the key?
Mr. Gao
I fought all battles
with the Party for more than twenty years
I killed many enemies
And all my soldiers know that
Nobody likes the Party better than me
I only got cigarettes from you
and lend you the key
And they accuse me?
Help the rebels?
In a conspiracy with the Communists?
Fuck them
They beat me
and pull out all my teeth
What does that have to do with me?
Tell me
What to do
with me?
You son of a bitch!
Are you conspiring?
in that warehouse?
You're with the Communists!
Run!
I will kill you
to show my loyalty to the Party
I will kill you all
Through this way
You misunderstood me
Everyone is responsible
That is not me
You misunderstood me
You are wrong
They are with the Communists
Not me
You are wrong
Everyone is responsible
to report espionage
To hide it
is also a crime
To undermine the government
The sentence is death
Fang
We are safe now
What was that?
Fang
Let's go
Something really happened
Do you have a book club here with Mr. Zhang?
Yes
After school every day
Miss Yin will bring a book
to read with us here
But the person who started it
is Mr. Zhang Ming-hui
Stop
I knew it was you
You always do it
You spell trouble
Take away
I'll do it after the empty ceremony
You're a teacher, right?
You have to set a good example
Mr. Gao
Calm down, smoke
do not be angry
This is the match
Listen
If I see it after the ceremony
I will throw it away
Understand, Mr. Gao
Mr. Zhang
Good morning, Miss Yin
What are the military police for here?
Are we doing training?
Are they here for us?
Don't make wild guesses
Where is Miss Yin?
I haven't seen Mr. Zhang either
The military police are here
Where is Mr. Huang?
In the office
Where are the books?
Don't worry, I have hidden it
If they were here for me
pretend you don't know me
Whatever will be
just protect the children
Yes I know
Incredible view
Abundant results
We are the best
In East Asia
Never leave hope
or keep quiet
Let go!
Let me go!
Let go!
Government Kills!
Government
Continue the ceremony
Continue the ceremony!
Incredible view
Abundant results
We are the best
In East Asia
Never leave hope
or keep quiet
The glory of our nation
Make a better world
Harder! -Remember those who are
Building a nation in trouble
Appreciate what we have
Keep our feet on the ground
Let's work together
Be persistent
Salute to our national flag
Let's work together
Be persistent
Salute to our national flag
My father said orders
can extort confession by torture
Maybe Mr. Huang will...
I believe in him
Just as I believe in you
Then why do we have to stop?
All teachers are being investigated
I can't involve you in it
But Miss Yin
Did they take all the books?
Mr. Zhang managed to save several
But it's too dangerous to carry the book
We will get the books from Mr. Zhang
Yes
If the teachers are supervised
we will get the books
No
I might not be able to save you if you get caught
I will be the first
I will pretend to give up my assignment
Next Chang
Then Mao
and Wen-xiong
and Zhou Xin
and Sheng
We will take turns to leave
But despite the teachers being watched
If one of us gets caught
Are you sure he won't betray us?
will not
And I know you don't either
Be careful
Goodbye Miss Yin
Return the key to Mr. Gao is with this
Understand
Leave now
Sorry
You are okay?
I am fine
Hey
Are you going to tell anyone?
Tell me what?
I see nothing but your music workbook
Now the school looks abandoned
With only our class marked with this
And the teacher's desk is being searched
Plus notifications from commands
I think they have been arrested
But
He will not make a call if he is caught
Maybe he is hiding somewhere with the others
We used to gather at a bomb shelter
There is an emergency telephone inside
Wait here
I will check
Burn it with joss paper so no one knows
Wen-xiong
Something happened to the book club?
Are they hiding in a bomb shelter?
Sheng told us
Impossible
Then tell me
Why does Instructor Bai have that book?
Isn't it Sheng's turn to take it this week?
Keep it safe
Didn't you say that
no one will betray us?
Why did it end like this?
Mr. Zhang
Why did you let Sheng join us in the first place?
What do you mean?
Wen-xiong didn't like that fact
that he always plays with his dolls
instead of reading a book
Listen
When I was a student
same as Sheng
my mind is not in class
I always draw
How I wish I had a teacher
who want to give me space
and allow me to draw
whenever i want
Maybe I'll be more than just an art teacher
But
Is it worth the risk
for our sake?
Remember? Among Tagore's poems
There is one
that I really like
Leaves become flowers
when in love
Flowers become fruit
when it's worshiped
Root under the earth
claims no awards
to make a fruitful branch
Wei
Why does it have to end like this?
We did nothing but read a book, right?
Wen-xiong
Wei
Zhong
Ting
Run!
Wen-xiong
Everyone is responsible
to report espionage
To hide it
is also a crime
Severe punishment for them
That instigated the rebel's mind
To subvert the government
The sentence is death
Run!
What was that?
Are we really
still in school?
Miss Yin
Wen-xiong was killed
Ma'am?
Of course
Because you have brought mice here
Why bring him here?
Why is he here with you?
He gave the book to Instructor Bai
He got us all killed
No
Not me
Fang
Why is Miss Yin calling you a mouse?
I do not know
Who gave you that book?
Tell me
Not me
I do not know
What is wrong with you?
Why?
Not me
Not my fault
Not me
Hello?
What's this for?
Doesn't that mean someone is dead?
You're the mouse
That is you
Why are you still here till late at night?
I think I've dreamed about this before
I did not hear anything
Mr. Zhang is still here
By the way
I'm Wei Zhong-ting
I'm Fang Ray-shin
What do you mean
You do whatever you want with that woman
But I don't want anything to do with them
What woman?
Leave me alone
Tell me again
What woman are you talking about?
Are you trying to ruin my day?
Do not touch me
What woman?
Please leave me alone
Leave you alone
You must leave me alone
Help me, Buddha
I had to listen to the old man's murmurs at work
And you haunt me at home?
What have I done to get all this?
You hear that in your room?
Don't be like your mother
Being paranoid all the time
I married him because of bad luck
Please answer
My pray
Please show me a sign
I go to school
Please show me a sign
Last night, under an investigation order
an underground publisher
Covering herself as a bookstore
They distribute forbidden books
The leaders were arrested
The command wants you to report
everyone who looks suspicious
Don't hide the bad guys
Open the bag
Open
Don't bring this to school
or you will be punished
Everyone's attention
All of you from Class 302
led by Mr. Huang
Please report to Instructor Bai after school
We offer you
counseling about patriotism
Fang
Sir
Miss Li from the Annals Space School told me about this
What are the consequences?
Do you know
Yes, Sir
Your father will be promoted
Don't let yourself run into problems
Instructor Bai
Mr. Zhang
He is a student under my supervision
Is he in trouble?
That is alright
Instructor Bai
I have made a college entrance questionnaire
for senior students
May I ask for his help?
forgive us
Mr. Zhang
Because of the Huang incident
We will investigate the staff
You must forgive us
if there is a violation
Fang
Talk to me if you have something
Let's go
Do you like painting the principal's face?
Sorry, Mr. Zhang
Fill out the questionnaire and return to class
You're lucky, Instructor Bai is kind to you
You must be grateful
Yes, Sir
Why Mr. Huang
bring banned books to school?
Now he is gone
and we are being investigated
Shut up
I heard they even questioned his wife
God knows how many more people will be involved
Are you alright?
I have to go
Return to class now
I thought you were not coming
A student of mine came to turn in an assignment
Draw narcissus again
Yes
What is good about it?
There are more beautiful flowers
Narcissists look simple
He lives in his own world
not paying attention to what people think
I like it
But it must be lonely
It is not lonely
as long as someone understands it
I will teach you to play a song
Help me, Buddha
This is about time
Sir
Do not trouble us
My apologies
Help me, Buddha
Where are you going, Daddy?
Ask your mother to call Instructor Bai
They don't know what they are doing
Help me, Buddha
Father
Father!
Where did they take you?
Remember, contact Instructor Bai
Did you hear?
Contact Instructor Bai
Street
Father
Father!
mother
I want you to call Instructor Bai
mother
I want you to call...
He will be fine
They say that
it's just a small corruption charge
He will be fine
Buddha has answered my prayer
I found your father's account book
as soon as I pray to the Buddha
That is you
You know what I pray to Buddha for?
You tell him
I asked the Buddha
to make it go away forever
When the rain stops
I'll take you home
You can't stay here all night
But I have no place to go
Your father is Bai's best friend
He will be home soon
Why don't you...
stay at home tomorrow?
We can watch a movie another day
No, I'm leaving
This is the only thing I'm waiting for now
Rotating
As long as we are still alive
There are many things to look forward to
well
Get some rest
I'll take you home later
Will you be by my side?
You will not leave me
like they do?
What is wrong with you?
Why?
Mr. Zhang
I think the song
will soon be banned
Then I will play it as often as possible
Why are you suddenly interested in piano?
Hear this song from a friend
So I want to learn it
There is something I want to discuss with you
What is going on
between you and Fang?
Stop before it's too late
I ask you to help him
go through problems at home
not to pull him into your arms
There is nothing between us
What if someone sees you?
Have you thought about the consequences?
We are in a crisis here
You will involve him
if you get caught
I will handle it with him
But what about us?
You are not responsible for yourself
You have to make a choice
Either you leave it
or you leave our book club
Why haven't you come to see me lately?
I saw your questionnaire about college
Looks good
You look emotionally stable to me
You don't have to
my counselor again
You lied to me
You promised to stay with me
That's a present for you
Just give it to Miss Yin
Fang
Didn't I already tell you
to talk to me if you have anything?
Let go!
You know what I pray to Buddha for?
If only he left forever
Well?
Sheng
What are you doing here?
Wei
I can not find it
I can't find my doll's head
This is it
see
I'm The Dragon Warrior
Mr. Dragon Warrior
You've participated in subversive activities
and try to overestimate our government
I will here...
sentence you to death
Do you understand?
you?
Sheng
Did you give the book to Fang?
Are you beating me too?
I will not hurt you
but you have to tell the truth
I swear
Did not tell anyone
Who asked you to swear?
I swear I will not tell
even if you kill me
Who asked you to swear?
Wen-xiong called me
A mouse
Chang and Mao beat me
and locked me in the tool shed
But I did not tell anyone
Wei
I did not tell anyone
You took the book
Wei
You didn't give it to anyone, right?
You didn't betray us, right?
Don't you want to know why you're here?
Here comes the property of the dead sinner
Immediately
You will join the others
stay here forever
Tell me
Are you plotting against the government?
If you want to be with Mr. Zhang
just give the book
Hey
Are you going to tell anyone?
Keep it safe
Can I borrow a book...
what are you reading?
No
That is not mine
Can you lend it to me?
Forget it
I'll get it myself
Fang
Sheng
I will go to Mr. Zhang
during recess
I'll get a book for you
Is it right?
Yes
But don't tell them that we have switched
We will get into trouble
if they find out
Dont worry
I swear I will not tell anyone
well
Wei
thank you
Fang
Can I read a book with you later?
Certain
Fang
I will try my best
to save your father
Is Miss Yin
fired?
Dont worry
The country will thank you
If only you left forever
I've finally found you
Never leave me again
But
You're the only one left here
Zhang Ming-hui
You made an underground group
which provides students
with subversive books
and incite them to
rebel against the government
You with this
sentenced to death
do you understand what I mean?
Understand?
Mr. Zhang
Execute him
No!
Killer
Real mouse
Killer
Real reporter
Your selfishness
has sacrificed our lives
Killer
I just want to break them down
Killer
Run
Get out of here
You can not go
Wherever you go
you are stuck here
Killer
I do not mean it
Not me
That is not my fault
I'm sorry
That is not me
Ignore them
ignore it
I do not mean it
Let me go
You're only going through it repeatedly
Again and again
That is not my fault
You have forgotten
Or are you afraid to remember it?
I have forgotten
Or are you afraid to remember it?
I remember now
I have confessed my crime in front of everyone
I'm sorry
What for?
I killed everyone
including you
You made a mistake
but you didn't kill us
You just got used
Is it too late now?
As long as someone is still alive
there's always hope
But I have no more chance
Some are dead
You can't revive it
This is embarrassing
We cannot live to see freedom
But those who live will do it
The only thing you can do now
is help him get out of here
One must live to remember it
how difficult it is to get freedom
Wei
Throw him
Nothing works
except him
Give him a few days
Shoot him if he doesn't confess
Yes, Sir
If only I hadn't met you
The underground book club has broken
with a total of six students
and two teachers were arrested
Rebels included
students
You are Sheng-jie
Zhou Xin
Zhang Xu-chang
Huang Wen-xiong
and Li Zhi-hao
Club leaders
and the teachers
Yin Cui-han
and Zhang Ming-hui
Both were sentenced to death
Subversive student Wei Zhong-ting
was arrested today
Fang
What are you doing?
You protect the rebels?
Fang
Whatever is lost is gone
Let first pass
Do not listen
Do not remember anything
Leave all the pain in the past
It's easier to forget, right?
No
I do not want to forget
I will never forget again
Wei
No
Why don't you leave everything here?
I will get it out of here
Come here
Go
I will stay here
You are kidding?
I have to stay
I will stay with you
You have to live to remember this
There is hope if you stay alive
That's what Zhang told me
Fang
Wei
thank you
Fang
It has been decided
Execute him if he is silent
I think he's dead
It's been days
I...
I made a confession
Demand me with whatever you want
But I want to live
Mr. Zhang
It's been years
I don't have the courage to do what you ask
Now they are destroying schools
If I don't return now
I will never live up to your expectations
We have
both animal-nature
and evil nature
and also belief at the same time
We have desires
for both
individualism and altruism
Wei
Do you know the book he quoted?
Hate Symbols
You know where that is?
Find out
There is a letter in it
Give it to someone for me
Certainly
Zhang Ming-hui
Wei
You must live
Promise me
You must stay alive
Life
and one day you will be free
Mr. Zhang
I have to go
Mr. Zhang
do not go
Mr. Zhang!
Mr. Zhang left this for you
I will keep that in mind
I will always remember it
