Winter Begonia
Episode 49
Look at you.
Do you want
to stab me again with the scissors?
If I stab you,
nobody will be responsible for Cheng Fengtai.
It’s not worth it.
Thanks to Mr. Cheng.
I watched
Chinese Peking operas before.
It’s too noisy.
The drum is okay.
Colonel!
Here is the Kimono.
Mr. Shang,
would you please
perform kabuki for me once again?
After that,
[Penicillin]
you can take the medicine for Cheng Fengtai
and leave here.
Colonel Sakata,
did you get Shang Xirui’s goat on purpose?
If you want to watch the kabuki,
you can go to the army club.
Mr. Shang,
please.
On that day,
I performed the female role.
The name is Fairy In The Heaven.
Luocheng told me
that she is a fairy in your country.
She risked her life to pray for rain for people.
Xue Zhicheng, am I right?
Yes. You are right.
She is the most beautiful fairy
in the heavenly palace.
It’s interesting.
You don’t understand operas,
but you use your fairy to make people disgusting.
Don’t do it.
You are not allowed to act her.
Leave here.
Does the Fairy have anything to do with the war?
Why did you ask her out?
Bastard!
Mr. Kazuma,
don’t overdo it.
I apply for going to the front.
Since
the men in Kujyo family
only have this way out,
I accept it.
But you,
please don’t drag others into this.
From today on,
I will practice kendo
as well as shooting.
And finally,
I will die in battles
like my brother did.
This is your
own decision?
I swear by the fame of the Kujyo family.
OK.
This is the best news
I’ve ever heard
all these days.
But I have one request.
From now on,
please don’t be hard on Mr. Shang.
Get out.
I hope I would never see you
from now on.
Get out.
Did they beat you?
I’m all right.
Mrs. Cheng,
these are themedicines for Mr. Cheng.
Take the food.
Mrs. Cheng,
it's ready outside.
Everyone is waiting for you.
I’ll be right there.
Find a cock of over three years
with its foot tied a red thread.
Put it on the crossroad.
Ask young master shout his dad’s name loudly
on the roof
to the direction the cock runs to
for 49 times,
and his soul will return.
How to do it for a baby who just learned to talk?
You must be kidding,
right?
He’s really kidding. If young master doesn’t go,
the soul won’t come back?
He’s is so little. How?
Yes. How is it possible?
Xirui, why are you out?
He’s just a little baby.
How to shout loudly?
I will do it.
Uh.
But…
Does it work if he does it?
Xirui.
Be careful.
Be careful, Xirui.
Mind your step. Slowly.
It’s good for him to do this
as the best friend.
Shout to the north. North.
♫ Spring wind blows the haze ♫
♫ I meet my bosom friend when in danger ♫
Is this Mr. Shang’s voice?
♫ Life is filled with joys and sorrows ♫
Mr. Shang.
♫ I can’t bear it but shed tears wet the clothes ♫
Mrs. Chang, you can’t get out of bed.
It’s still time of childbirth.
You may catch a cold.
♫ The flowers in the fence are also crying ♫
Mr. Shang, it’s not like that.
♫ They are so sad like I am ♫
Come down.
Xirui,
come down.
If you keep singing,
your lung will get broken.
Mr. Shang.
Master, please come down.
Master.
♫ The ship turns in the sea for the first time ♫
Mr. Cheng, please help me
and stop him.
He depends on his voice.
If he keeps singing like this,
he throat is unable to stand.
I was persuading him to come down,
but he didn’t listen.
♫ Just see the Jade Hare and sun rises from east ♫
Master, don’t keep singing.
Please come down. Stop singing.
Master.
Mr. Cheng is awake.
Mrs. Cheng. Mr. Cheng is awake.
He’s awake.
Mr. Cheng is awake.
Fengtai is awake.
Master, Mr. Cheng is awake.
Come, Xiang’er.
Master, come down.
Mr. Cheng is awake.
Mr. Cheng is finally awake.
Mr. Cheng is awake.
Master, come down. Hurry up.
Mr. Cheng is finally awake.
Let’s go back.
Xirui.
What's wrong with you?
Are you all right?
Mengping.
What did you call me just now?
Mengping.
I want to hug the babies.
This one is silent,
like you,
so she must be a girl.
This one is even naughtier than me,
so he must be a boy.
Mengping,
it will be hard for you in the future.
You can just get back now.
Xirui.
You don’t hate me anymore?
What I hate is
parting forever.
Thank you for forgiving me.
The photos you sent
caused international concern.
I’d like to thank you, on behalf of Mr. Shang
and the people suffering from the war.
I’m taking care of your families in Hong Kong,
and everything goes well.
The branch of the journal will open lately.
I wish I could see you early.
Fengtai,
how do you feel today?
How could it be?
It’s better than lying on bed.
But if I want to run and walk
like before,
it's definitely impossible.
Sure.
You travelled almost all over the country.
It made my sis upset.
Now,
she doesn’t need to worry,
because she can keep up with you easily.
All right. All right.
All right.
I won’t hit you today.
When I was lying on bed,
you’ve done a lot to take care of me. Thank you.
Fengtai,
it doesn’t matter.
The one you need to thank the most
is my sister
and Mr. Shang.
I’ve walked for so long today.
Help Fengtai to take a rest.
OK. OK.
Fengtai is a little baby now.
You can have a talk.
I’m leaving now.
See you, Fengtai.
Tired, right?
I will help you to have some rest.
Be careful.
Fan Lian mentioned Mr. Shang.
What’s wrong?
When you were lying on bed,
he offended the Japanese.
He was in jail for a few days.
Nobody told me this.
What should they tell you?
He’s been released for a long time.
[Express Train. Peking to Kwangchow]
You can walk now.
So take the ticket to Shang Xirui.
The Japanese were scolded and had no way,
so they released him.
If he was caught again,
it won’t be just in jail.
After all, he’s Fengyi’s blooded uncle
and a half saver of you.
Going to Hong Kong with us
is not bad for him.
Why are you looking at me like this?
You always looked down upon actors the most.
I looked down upon actors?
Then why am I so close with Ping?
It’s all related to personality.
On the days
I stayed with him,
I can see
that he’s a righteous person.
I’ll prepare for the dinner.
Remember the ticket.
Mrs. Cheng,
are you really willing to let the actor
go with us to Hong Kong?
To be honest,
when Fengtai remained unconscious,
I was ready for his death.
But I’ve never thought
about taking revenge on the Japanese.
Only for this,
even our Cheng family afford his whole life,
I can accept it.
But I don’t understand one thing.
He even risked his life for Mr. Cheng,
but when Mr. Cheng woke up,
he left quietly,
and doesn’t let Mr. Cheng know this.
Why?
Fengtai can do anything for him,
including carrying goods for the Japanese.
And he
can kill people and stay in jail for Fengtai,
even with his throat injured.
They both suffered a lot for the other.
When will it end?
Shang Xirun doesn’t want them
to owe each other.
But being the benefactor of Cheng family
will have more benefits than singing, right?
In order to perform,
Mr. Shang could offend Command Cao.
Do you think he will care
these benefits from Cheng family?
The benefits in your eyes
are not always considered as good for others.
Hello.
I’d like to speak to Mr. Shang.
I’m Cheng.
Hello.
Mr. Cheng.
What’s wrong with your throat?
I ate too much salt,
so it became like this.
Mr. Shang.
Mr. Cheng.
The injury
almost killed me.
Now I’m alive
but with legs injured.
Moving too much makes me faint.
When I recover,
I will see you.
OK.
You can catch the first show of Xiaofengxian.
Hey, you.
You don’t show your regard to me
but only the operas.
Mr. Cheng is a lucky person
and blessed by Buddha.
Mr. Shang.
I…
Forget it.
When I recover,
I will go to the theater for you.
Then I will tell you.
That’s all for today.
See you.
Mr. Shang will have a new performance.
[Biography of Fengxian]
Look.
Mr. Shang will have a new performance.
I haven’t watched his performance for a long time.
Mr. Huang gives a pair of baskets of flowers.
Wish Mr. Shang’s new show popular.
Welcome. Please come in.
Mr. Zhao gives a couplet.
Wish Mr. Shang better.
Welcome. Please come in.
Mr. Cheng gives ten pairs of baskets of flowers.
Wish the head of the stage hold the palm.
Welcome. Please come in.
Mr. Cheng, please be careful.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Mr. Cheng.
It's been a long time.
How are you?
I’m fine.
Thank you.
Please.
Hurry.
Please come in.
Mr. Cheng, here you are.
Mr. Cheng, you look great.
Look,
Mr. Cheng with a walking stick looks like a gentleman.
Am I right?
I just saw the line of baskets of flowers.
It’s honorable.
Mr. Cheng is always generous.
He brings us a very wonderful start.
Wait here.
OK.
Mr. Cheng.
I have a can of excellent tea.
May I make it for you?
No, thanks.
I can’t stay longer.
So haste?
My appearance of Xiaofengxian is good today.
You have no chance to watch it.
Mr. Shang,
the Japanese is unreliable.
As far as I know,
Sakata will find another chance
to set you up.
I’m leaving in such a hurry
is also because I’m afraid he breaks the promise.
[Express Train. Peking to Kwangchow]
Hong Kong is not a retreat away from the world,
but it’s much safer than Peking.
It’s administrated by the English,
and the Japanese can’t be unruly.
I want to start a film company.
If you come,
I will film the operas for you.
You are not willing to leave with me?
[Shares of First Theater]
Take the equity of Shuiyun Theater back.
I’m not here anymore,
so I can’t manage the things here.
You should be more cautious in the future.
Keep calm down.
Hide from the Japanese.
What are you thinking?
Come and help me to sit down.
I almost can’t stand.
Mr. Cheng, why are you so thin now?
As thin as a skeleton.
It’s good enough to be alive.
Mr. Cheng, you can live much longer.
Why hasn’t your voice still recovered?
It’s like the sound a drake makes.
How can you sing in the future?
If I can’t sing again,
I will go to Hong Kong for you.
Really?
Mr. Shang,
Command Cao asked you
whether you will choose life or operas before.
Today,
I’d like to ask you the same question.
Mr. Shang. Mr. Shang.
Mr. Cheng.
It’s time for Mr. Shang to perform.
And it’s time for us to leave.
Mr. Shang.
Mr. Cheng. Take care.
Mr. Cheng. Wish you a good luck.
I’ve taught it for a long time.
It finally can say that.
Finally,
I hear some good words from you.
Mr. Cheng. You are leaving?
I’m leaving.
Good. Great.
Mr. Shang. Mr. Shang.
Great. Great.
Mr. Shang. Great.
Great. Great.
♫ Keep sighing in the world ♫
♫ Live a life by welcoming the new and saying goodbye to the old ♫
Mr. Cheng, the train can’t wait.
♫ I, Xiaofengxian ♫
♫ Come from Qiantang, Zhejiang ♫
Mr. Cheng.
Are you being my support?
Shuiyun Theater won’t leave today.
[First Theater]
We will stay in Peking
and do something great.
Fengtai,
I will be the boss only by putting money into it.
That’s my own business.
It’s great.
Really.
Look at you.
Blacker
and thinner.
It’s a war.
No matter who is the one asks. Don’t go.
Just take good care of yourself.
I will do the rest thing.
♫ General, take care later on ♫
Brother,
I’m good.
Take care.
♫ Having been together for a long time but now we separate in the moment ♫
[To Xiao Lai of Shang’s Theater from Shang Xirui]
[Exit]
In the same year,
China started the long and hard
anti-Japanese stage of stalemate.
Cheng Fengtai, together with Du Luocheng and
Yu Qing put investment in patriotic publications
and made contributions to fight against Japanese.
