Winter Begonia
Episode 47
He hasn’t come back?
And he didn’t send me a message.
As usual,
he should have been back.
I told you.
When you are back, I’ll play Xiaofengxian.
You are not here,
so there’s no one talking with me.
Who will I talk with?
The kids?
I rarely go out.
I don’t feel ease in front of others.
Master.
Who were you talking with?
You don’t need to be an apprentice now.
Really?
It’s too early to say so.
Not at all.
Fans
have been calling you “Mr. Zhou”
for a long time.
It’s time
to have your own servants
and clothes case.
Master,
only famous stars
have servants.
I am not qualified.
Don’t care what others do.
I said you can,
so you must have.
What will you perform on the Appreciation Banquet?
Well...
I have an idea.
Could you...
Come to the point.
I want to perform Kunqu operas with you.
Master.
Mr. Wang. Mr. Liu’s here.
Mr. Niu.
Come in, please.
Please come in.
Come in.
Please have a seat.
-Good evening, sirs. -Hi, sirs.
Enjoy the dinner.
Good evening, sirs.
Have a seat.
Mr. Zhou won’t be an apprentice from today.
Right.
Finally, there’s a good thing in our opera circle.
Yeah.
What a pity.
Mr. Cheng is not here.
Mr. Du is looking after his father.
Both of the God of Wealth
-and the God of Literature are absent. -Welcome. Please come in.
Yes.
Long time no see.
OK, Mr. Niu.
Time to start.
OK.
Congratulations.
There’s another star in Shuiyun Theater.
Mr. Shang, congratulations.
You are really a talent scout.
Mr. Shang, congratulations.
Thanks, thanks.
Cheers, Mr. Niu.
Mr. Shang.
There’s something you don’t know.
This kid’s skills are really amazing
under the teaching of Mr. Shang.
I’m flattered.
I did my best
to teach him
and shape him.
But he needs your support
in his future career.
Thanks.
No worries.
-Mr. Shang, this is not a big deal. -Thank you, sirs.
Enjoy!
OK.
Master,
what do you think of my show today?
What do you think?
I think
it’s still a step away from perfection.
Master, I have thought too highly of myself.
Have you forgotten
what I told you in Mount Jing?
Straight your back.
I am the best performer of this season,
and you’ll be the one of the next season.
Shuiyun Theater’s destiny is on your shoulders.
Aren’t you satisfied enough?
Right.
Mr. Shang is the best performer.
Absolutely, his apprentice has his skills.
Do you think so?
Yes. Yes.
Zhouzi. Don’t underestimate yourself.
Mr. Zhou,
if you don’t want to be the chief apprentice,
let me take the place of you.
I’ll kneel to beg Mr. Shang
to be my dad.
Go away.
You are one year older than me.
Stop joking.
Sit.
Cheers.
Please.
Mr. Shang.
Mr. Xue, what’s the matter?
Mr. Shang. Did...
Did you visit Cheng Fengtai?
Mr. Cheng’s back?
He’s back.
You really don’t know?
Cheng Fengtai’s seriously injured from outside.
Go to see him.
If it’s late,
you may... miss him.
What should we do?
Mrs. Cao,
Mr. Shang’s here.
What?
Doesn’t he feel ashamed to come?
Without him,
my brother wouldn’t have been hurt.
Beat him away.
Yes.
Go.
Meixin.
Don’t hurt him.
Don’t hurt him? I’ll hit him to death.
Mr. Shang!
Mr. Shang! Go away!
I have to see him today!
Hurry! Drive him out!
Yes.
Cheng Fengtai!
Cheng Fengtai! Answer me!
Mr. Cheng!
I’ll tell you the truth now.
He played a wrong opera,
which gave Japanese a chance to
force Fengtai to send the goods.
He’s the reason why Fengtai suffers this.
-Shouldn’t I beat him? -Mr. Cheng!
Xiang’er.
Stop!
Mr. Shang!
Mrs. Cheng.
Mr. Shang,
I thought it was a bandit at our gate!
I heard that Mr. Cheng is seriously injured.
So I came in a rush.
Mrs. Cheng, I beg you.
Please let me visit him.
Go with me.
What’s this mean?
Why did you ask him in?
Don’t worry. Follow me.
Han.
Open the door.
Yes.
[Memorial]
You just came
after my brother died.
Go.
Go to see him.
Be closer.
Don’t you want to see him?
He supported you to be the best performer
and treated you as his brother.
But in the end,
[Memorial]
you wrongly played Battle in Jin,
which gave Japanese a chance to hurt him.
This is your way to repay him?
Shang Xirui, you are ungrateful.
It’s you who killed Cheng Fengtai.
It’s fine.
Zhang Fei’s shout breaks Dangyang Bridge.
He wants to break abyss bridge with his cry.
Don’t worry.
Is he fainted?
Xiyazi.
What happened to Xiyazi?
Ping, why are you here?
Accompany her in.
Hurry.
Xiyazi.
It’s cold on the ground.
Your health is important.
Please stand up.
Mr. Cheng will go through it.
Don’t worry.
There’s a hope
as long as he’s alive.
-Be careful. -Han.
Come out! Stop him!
Take care.
It’s fine.
Mr. Shang, what are you doing?
Han!
Mr. Shang.
Where is Cheng Fengtai? Where is he?
Where is Cheng Fengtai?
Where is Cheng Fengtai? Where is he?
-Where are you hiding him? -Mr. Shang!
Where are you hiding Mr. Cheng?
Mr. Shang.
Where are you hiding Mr. Cheng?
-What are you doing? -Where is Cheng Fengtai?
What are you doing?
Where is Cheng Fengtai? Where are you hiding him?
Let go of her.
-Mr. Shang. -Let go!
-Stop him. -Mr. Cheng. -He’s a manic.
-Mr. Cheng, where are you? -He’s a manic.
-Xiyazi! -Mr. Shang.
-You are having a baby. Take care. -Mr. Cheng!
Mr. Cheng!
He had mental disease in the childhood.
I’m afraid that the disease recurs.
So... He is psychotic?
Who knows?
Maybe
he’s never sober.
No, it’s dangerous that he just ran out.
I need to find him back.
You...
Chunxing! Chunxing!
Tell Shuiyun Theater that their leader went mad.
Ask them to find him on the street.
OK.
Crazy guy.
I didn’t think he was normal when in Pingyang.
Meixin, why did you stimulate him?
What did I say?
The coffin is to against our jinx.
He’s mental because of himself.
Became crazy once being stimulated?
He changed his mood so fast.
Who knows him?
Leader!
-Ask them to help. -Leader!
-Hurry. Ask them to help. -Leader.
Come to help.
-Master. -Leader.
-What happened to our leader? -Leader.
Master.
Come to help.
-What happened? -Leader.
-Go to take the medicine. -What happened?
I found him on the way to Fragrant Hill.
When I found him, he was like this.
He didn’t talk,
-and looked abnormal. -Leader.
If our leader has something wrong,
how about our Shuiyun Theater?
-Go to take the medicine! -Take the medicine!
OK.
Hurry up.
-Leader. -Hurry!
Take care.
The women in Cheng’s are too cruel.
Even if Cheng Fengtai died,
it’s not you who killed him.
How come they took it out on you?
What do you mean?
Master.
Where are you going?
I’ll apologize to Mr. Cheng on the Fragrant Hill.
He’s convalescing at home.
-I’ll apologize to Mr. Cheng on the Fragrant Hill. -Master.
Mr. Cheng can’t even walk.
How can he wait for you on the hill?
-Mr. Cheng is waiting for me on the Fragrant Hill. -Master.
He can’t.
Stop him! He’s biting me! Come back!
Help!
Come back!
-Leader! -Stop him!
Leader!
Take your leader in!
Leader!
Lift his legs.
Hurry up.
-Leader. -Go.
Leader. Leader.
Hurry!
Come.
Hurry up!
Take him on the bed!
Leader.
Put him on the bed.
Take care. He’s biting me!
Help! Come!
Leader! Leader!
Leader! Leader! Leader!
What should we do?
Leader!
Stop shouting!
Just as usual. Let me do it.
Don’t move, leader.
Xiyazi!
Leader.
Xiyazi!
Wake up!
Don’t scare us.
Mr. Cheng was injured by Japanese.
Japanese did it.
You just played Battle in Jin.
How come you are so guilty?
I want food.
Food. Food.
Food. Zhouzi, prepare.
Food.
Hurry up.
It will be ready.
Wait a moment.
I’ll go to see Mr. Cheng after eating.
You can’t! Our efforts will be in vain.
No.
Leader!
Hold him!
What? What’s the disease
of your leader?
He was scared by Three O’clock when he’s little.
It’s can’t be cured completely.
When Jiang Mengping left him,
this recurred terribly.
What’s Three O’clock?
Can you stop asking?
I’m afraid you guys will be scared.
He can’t be stimulated anyway.
He’ll be muddled if he’s stimulated.
How long will this last?
At most,
for about half a month.
At least,
for a moment.
Stop looking.
I have an idea.
Send him to the mental hospital.
The doctors in there are professional.
No! No!
Are you out of your mind?
He’s not a psychosis.
As long as he recovers, he’s a normal man!
How will others see him
if you send him to the mental hospital?
We can watch him in turn!
He’ll by fine in half a month at most.
Yes.
We can watch him!
Stop!
I just tested you.
He has great strength.
How can you hold him if he goes mind?
When I held him,
I was almost broken.
Leader! Leader!
Don’t touch him.
Do you think
Xirui is storing up his energy?
Then, defeat us and run again?
Maybe.
Mr. Du. Don’t touch him.
Let him have a rest.
Look,
though Cheng’s didn’t made him mad,
look at the wound on his face,
how can they deny their guilt?
Wait and see.
I’ll revenge for Xirui.
What?
Sir. Please come in.
The phone is mine tonight.
It tastes good. Have a try.
Have a taste.
Sir, please enjoy.
Hello?
Cheng Meixin.
Listen carefully.
You shameless
and ruthless witch.
What did you do to Shang Xirui?
Stop your nonsense.
You are shameless.
Won’t others know the indecent things
you’ve done after you left Shanghai?
You and Cao Guixiu
danced intimately for a whole night.
And finally, you became his step-mother.
Don’t you feel ashamed?
Do you believe I’ll make it a headline
for you tomorrow?
Hello? Say something. Are you dumb?
Hello?
The receiver’s changed.
Fan Lian,
don’t be out of line.
You followed Mr. Shang
as his fan and manager usually.
You were in hot pursuit.
But where are you
when we need you?
Shang Xirui drew Japanese’s attention.
Cao Wanjun and Japanese are close
like a family.
Do you think I don’t know?
I tell you.
Though there’s a traitor in Cheng,
it’s not drew by others.
Listen carefully.
Mr. Shang and I will go to
see Cheng Fengtai tomorrow.
Ask the witches to
behave themselves.
I even hit women if I’m pissed off.
Ignore him. Have our dinner.
Hello?
Mr. Xue.
This is Du Luocheng.
Let me discuss something with you.
No, it’s not about the payment.
It’s serious.
Here’s the point.
Tomatoes on sticks!
-Xirui. -Mr. Xue.
Take care.
Mr. Xue.
-Please. -Please.
What are you seeing? Report!
Yes, sir.
Look.
Mrs. Cao, Mr. Shang comes.
I’ll see what he will do.
Ask more men to wait in the yard.
Open the door.
Let him in.
It...
Meixin.
Don’t fight.
Ping is pregnant. Don’t scare her.
I’ll go to see him.
I wonder what tricks he’ll play.
Go.
Come.
Go, go.
Go. Watch the steps.
It’s rare that you two come.
You come aggressively.
Could you tell me why?
I heard that Mr. Cheng is severely injured.
Sorry that I was too busy to visit him.
So I come today.
Mrs. Cao.
Could you let us in?
Mr. Xue comes.
I must let you come.
Go with me.
Xirui.
Take care.
Mrs. Cao.
How did Mr. Cheng get injured this time?
When Fengtai sent goods,
he met a fight between bandits and Japanese.
So he was involved.
Fengtai always gave
bandits money,
but they still ignored his life.
They are so cruel.
It’s serious.
It’s a war.
Do you think it’s a street fight?
Fengtai
was almost buried in the cave.
Luckily, he escaped.
He was still sober when he was rescued.
But there was a remote suburb.
How could they find a doctor?
On the way back to Peking,
he almost couldn’t hold on.
Who saved him out?
The kind locals sent him back.
Fengtai promised them with payment.
So they sent him back.
How long has he been lying on bed?
Two weeks.
He didn’t wake up.
Why don’t you send him to the hospital?
It’s not convenient at home.
I also think so.
But Xiang’er
doesn’t trust the foreign doctors of the hospital.
If these foreign doctors can cure him,
why is he still suffering this?
He may have lost his soul outside.
His soul only knows how to go home,
not how to go to the hospital.
If the worst result comes,
he can
rest in peace
at home.
After all,
we have machines, doctors and nurses
at home.
It has no difference from the hospital.
Move. Move.
Xirui.
-Mr. Shang. -What are you doing?
Mr. Cheng, I’m sorry to you.
-Mrs. Cao. Mrs. Cheng. -Mr. Cheng. I’m sorry.
I have
some suggestion about Mr. Cheng’s treatment.
Mr. Cheng. I’m sorry.
To avoid bothering Mr. Cheng,
let’s talk about it outside.
Let’s go outside.
I’m sorry.
Ge.
Mrs. Cao.
Mrs. Cheng.
Xirui, come.
Stand up.
You’ve seen him.
We’ve done what we should do.
You need to take care of yourself. Do you know?
Let’s go.
What’s this medicine?
It’s nutrient solution,
glucose in water with vitamin.
Nutrient?
It looks lighter than your pee.
You said it’s nutrient?
Xirui, you feel better, don’t you?
You...
Why is he so weak?
Why hasn’t he woken up?
Do you know how to treat him?
The patient needs rest.
Please go out.
You...
What?
Can this save him?
No.
This is the basic medicine to keep his life.
It’s like rice soup.
Ginseng soup is much better than rice soup.
Right.
Oral absorption is more useful than transfusion.
But...
But the patient can’t swallow.
Han, where is Mrs. Cheng?
At the hall.
Xirui, where are you going?
Do you have ginseng at home?
Mrs. Cheng!
Do you have ginseng at home?
Are you talking to me?
Mr. Shang.
Why do you want ginseng now?
How can he wake up when only having water?
Mr. Cheng needs Ginseng soup!
What sin did I commit in the last life?
Mr. Shang, get down.
It’s awkward, Mr. Shang.
You can’t do this.
He’s on the bed?
-Move your hands. -Take him away.
Where is your guard?
I’ll call him.
Wait.
Mrs. Cao.
I’m sure the one
who hurts Mr. Shang today
will be a headline tomorrow.
I’ll allow you to stay.
But you can’t make trouble.
Xiang’er.
Mrs. Cheng.
The patient needs rest.
And the fresh air needs to come in.
Sirs, please leave here.
I can’t!
Well...
Look the members of Cheng. Can I leave?
I’ll sit here,
staying with Xirui.
Who dares hurt him?
How is Mr. Cheng now?
He’s okay.
Don’t worry too much.
OK.
Mr. Du,
will you go?
No.
Go have some food first.
No.
I need to
go home to deal with that Japanese woman.
How about I go first?
Go.
Mr. Fan.
Where did you go?
I haven’t seen you.
My fiancée and I went back to her home.
I just came back.
You’ve known the matter of Mr. Shang?
I heard it.
In my opinion,
don’t bully Shang Xirui too much.
Mr. Du is also here.
There’s nothing serious.
It’s not good for all of us.
Commander Cao and Japanese are backing them up.
Of course they are not worried to offend others.
Mr. Xue, what’s going on?
Did they bully our leader?
Don’t worry.
With your leader’s temper,
Cheng’s can’t be out of line.
How is Mr. Cheng?
He’s lying on the bed, badly injured.
I think
your leader
won’t come back
until this thing has an end.
Mr. Cheng wakes up
or he dies.
Boya and Ziqi.
Ziqi died,
and Boya broke the zither.
Our leader and Mr. Cheng.
If
Mr. Cheng dies,
how about our leader?
What should our leader do?
Xirui.
Don’t blame me for not speaking for you.
I know
you and Fengtai are closer than brothers.
You can even risk your life
for each other.
He’s injured,
and you came to stay with him.
You go through thick and thin together. I know.
But
he was injured by Japanese.
My two sisters don’t like you,
so I don’t know how to persuade them.
Xirui,
my brother-in-law
hasn’t woken up for half a month.
It’s hopeless to see the end
if you stay here.
Where is the ginseng soup?
Ginseng soup?
Ask your sister.
OK, Xirui.
I’ll ask her.
Sis, I’m back.
Sit and eat.
I saw Fengtai just now.
Mr. Shang asked
whether the ginseng soup is ready.
There’s no ginseng soup.
When will they leave?
No...
Well...
Sis, how about
letting Mr. Shang stay?
He doesn’t have severe problems.
And he’s strong.
We can take him as a free servant.
No.
I need to have a look.
What? Sis...
I think what Fan Lian said makes sense.
Think about it.
If you don’t go,
they’ll keep bullying you.
Look at Cheng Fengtai.
He won’t wake up
or die soon.
If he is dead,
his family won’t think his life is short.
They
may think you brought jinx.
Don’t stare at me this way.
This is good for you.
Sis. Sis.
Shang Xirui, please go back.
I allowed you to visit Fengtai,
but I didn’t allow you to stay here.
Where is the ginseng soup?
Mrs. Cheng.
Please let him stay.
Tell him if you need a help.
I’m sure he can make it.
Let him beg the God
to bring Mr. Cheng’s soul back.
Where is the ginseng soup?
There’s no ginseng soup.
Mr. Cheng can’t have soup under such a state.
If it’s choked in the trachea,
he may get pneumonia.
What are you doing?
You...
Feng... Fengtai swallowed.
Fengtai swallowed.
It’s a folk way.
Even the dead can swallow in this way,
not to mention the alive.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Chunxing, ask them to turn on the oven.
Use the best ginseng with dates and longans.
I’ll do it myself.
Mrs. Cheng.
You may go.
You can’t always stay here with me.
Also, there’s no man at the back yard.
It’s against the rules that I’m here.
So you will make it more inconvenient.
Mr. Du, thanks for helping me.
Xirui.
Did Cheng Fengtai’s soul go on your body?
Why are you so restrained to me?
OK.
I’ll go.
Apologize
to Mrs. Cheng for me.
I offended her.
Mr. Du, it was due to your care.
Here.
We appreciate it.
I’ll show you out. Go.
Xiang’er.
Did the anxiety make you muddled?
How come you stay a psycho beside Fengtai?
He’ll make trouble.
I don’t care his mental condition.
He can feed Fengtai water and soup,
which is the reason that I let him stay.
OK,
since you dare to do so,
I have nothing to say.
Xirui’s been in Cheng Fengtai’s mansion
for many days.
Yes.
Was he killed by Cheng Meixin
and buried?
Just kidding.
I wonder whether Mr. Cheng is
lucky enough to survive this time.
Cheng Fengtai is a dishonest trader.
I don’t care his life.
But if his death
makes Xirui depressed...
I’d better go back to pray
for his longevity.
Shang Xirui, Cheng Fengrui.
They are really bosom friends.
This is unbelievable.
Come in.
Sir, Mrs. Xue’s here.
I’ll go.
[Writers for Chinese-Japanese Cultural Exchange Mu Shuangzao, Zuo Yidong, Tu Zhaoru, Shen Hong, Mr. Du]
We will cooperate with
the newspapers and publishing houses in Peking
to hold Chinese-Japanese Cultural Exchange.
Hope you fully support us.
It’s...
What’s the matter, Mr. Xue?
Do you have any difficulties?
Five people on the list
are hard to invite.
Can you change them?
Why?
They...
They are not in Peking.
They are in other cities.
But I just asked the special column editor.
They submit articles every Wednesday and Friday.
The errands send them to the editorial office.
How come they went to other cities together?
Bastards.
What did you say?
I mean
the writers on the list are hard to invite.
They also have a weird temper.
They don’t like to show up in public.
How about
choosing one from them?
I’ll try my best to persuade him.
For the rest four,
please change them.
No.
I’ve submitted this list.
I read their articles carefully.
They are all top writers.
What’s more,
they focus on different
areas and styles.
From Peking opera reviews, romantic stories,
kungfu novels to the criticism of politics.
There’s no reason to replace anyone of them.
We are couple
who share honor and shame.
I believe you can make it.
Can’t you, Mr. Xue?
