[Love in Flames of War]

[Episode 7]

Why does he have this, too?

This

has been Beichen's favorite since he's a kid.

Aunt Qi,

do you know the story about the doll?

Do you remember

what I told you about Beichen's mother?

She died long ago.

When Beichen was seven years old,

Commander sent someone

to bring Beichen and his mother to Beixin.

They hadn't seen each other for five years.

After they came here, Commander was too busy

to take care of them in person.

It was on the birthday of Beichen's mother,

Commander promised
to watch her last performance in opera.

But he was delayed by some military affairs.

Finally, instead of Commander,

the one she last saw was an enemy's bullet.

Beichen's mother

desperately covered Beichen under her body.

Otherwise, Beichen would have been dead.

Then,

what happened next?

Beichen's mother was shot.

I learned

Beichen tore his cotton-padded coat

and pulled the cotton out

to press on her wound.

But that couldn't stop the bleeding.

Beichen's mother died before midnight.

And Commander didn't make it back.

What a poor kid Beichen was!

He was only seven years old.

He held his mother's body all night.

No one could persuade him to let go of her.

He kept crying,

"Mum is not dead."

"Mum is just tired."

"Mum is asleep."

"When mum is awake,

I'll go watch opera with her."

Since then,

Beichen has changed his temper.

He's always at loggerheads with Commander.

But he was only a kid.

Who could understand

his pain of losing his mother being so little?

Boss Jiu

wants to give you a gift.

There was a big shortage of money

to build the orphanage.

Boss Jiu donated the money.

Beichen.

Today, we're going to train

how to climb over obstacles.

Next,

I will show you how to do it.

What do you think, Beichen?

Did you do it?

Who else could it be?

It's a happy day.

- Yes.
- Yeah?

Did you see the look on Instructor Du's face?

Well,

we've only played several tricks.

We should play all our tricks on him.

Instructor Du.

Come on.

Although we are all men,

you can't watch us taking a shower.

Mo Weiyi and Xu Zijun, fall out!

You two will go to the tower

and take turns on guard duty tonight.

But, Instructor Du,

we are freshmen here.

Shouldn't it be the seniors

to take turns on guard duty?

Yeah, yeah.

Freshmen are good.

Freshmen have inexhaustible energy.

Instead of playing tricks elsewhere,

you'd better do something right.

Report.

I apply for standing guard with them.

I just knew your temper.

You're most loyal.

Even Instructor Du has to respect you,

doesn't he?

Did you see his face?

It turned green.

Surely green.

As long as the tree of us are together,

there is nothing to fear.

[Steadfast Society's Announcement]

[Steadfast Society's Announcement]
Steadfast Society's Announcement.

Steadfast Society's Announcement.

By upholding the concept of
broadening horizons,

exchanging knowledge and improving thinking,

we hereby invite like-minded students

to our regular book reading activities.

It aims to spark wisdom from discussions,

reflect on the era we're living,

progress together and study together.

Hangjing, you must want to go, right?

Reading lies in communication

to avoid being narrow-minded.

I think this is a good activity.

Then shall we go together?

Okay.

What is that?

I thought it's a dancing party.

Yeah.

Isn't it boring

to read with a group of strangers?

Don't you feel bored

to study all day and night?

Being afraid to go reading,

how can you be called a new woman?

Well, this new woman seems to be ready to go.

Who knows

whether you're going to read or meet boys.

You…

Exactly.

There's nothing wrong to meet some boys.

Lin Hangjing, what are you saying?

Shame on you.

What's wrong with falling in love

with someone with the same interests

and appreciating each other?

Attending a dancing party is freedom.

Reading is freedom.

Falling in love is also freedom.

Hangjing, you make a good point.

Lin Hangjing,

are you trying to go against me?

I'm just making my point.

You may disagree with me.

It's your freedom.

Come on, let's go.

Let's not delay them from going dancing.

How could they be like this?

Shuyi,

Hangjing is your family. She is so bold.

I've told you many times.

She is not my family, not.

She looked rather cool to me just now.

What did you say?

Stop.

Lunatic Du is really insidious.

Seemingly, he ignores us.

But he plays tricks under the nose.

Beichen, it's too cold.

Yeah.

It's really cold tonight.

Well, you two just wait here.

I'm going back to take the two quilts here.

- Thanks, Beichen.
- Okay.

What do you want to say? Go ahead.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Come on.

The canteen is nearby, right?

Canteen?

Why do we need a canteen?

Tell you what, I'm the canteen.

Reliable.

Tacit understanding.

That's for sure.

This is called tacit understanding

between the two of us.

These will be ready when Beichen is back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure.

Let's make this and wait for Beichen.

Let it burn inside.

Are you okay?

I got burned.

I'm okay.

Come on, go on.

Okay, it's ready.

It's okay now.

Let me take a bite first.

Just wait till Beichen comes back.

Hot.

Of course it's hot.

It's just backed.

I'm not saying the corn.

I'm saying my butt.

Butt?

I feel a little hot on my butt, too.

No, it's on fire!

Come on, come on.

Beichen!

Beichen!

Beichen, what should we do?

It's on fire.

- On fire.
- It's on fire.

What did you do?

We… we fell asleep.

What are you waiting for? Put out the fire.

How… how to put it out?

Come on, it's on fire.

- Put out the fire.
- Hurry.

Fire, hurry.

We're doomed.

Don't panic.

So?

What did you learn?

At the miliary academy,

using fire without permission is taboo.

Besides, the watch tower is burned down.

It must be a severe punishment.

We know it's a severe punishment.

Say it specifically. What punishment?

It is said each will get ten lashes.

Get ten lashes?

I couldn't stand even one.

I don't believe

they dare to lash Commander Xiao's son.

Right.

Why are you still laughing?

Others may dare not. But not Lunatic Du.

Do they mean it?

No matter what will happen,

even we'll be whipped to be disabled,

we must not act as a coward.

I…

What is he doing?

No idea.

Beichen?

Cadets Xiao Beichen, Mo Weiyi

and Xu Zijun from Batch 5 Class 3

used fire without permission,
which burned down the watch tower.

They should get ten lashes each as punishment.

[Folder]
They should get ten lashes each as punishment.

They should get ten lashes each as punishment.

But Instructor Du Heng of Batch 5 Class 3

admits his poor supervision and instruction

[Folder]

and voluntarily gets the lashes for them.

Thirty lashes in total.

Thirty lashes in total.

Do it now.

He…

I think we're here.

[Steadfast Society]

Well,

Mr. Lu Xun published "A Madman's Diary"

on New Youth.

That's the first vernacular novel at home.

What do you think after reading it?

Please speak freely.

I think

this novel aims to expose and criticize

the poisoning of the feudal family system

and feudal ethics on us.

Mr. Lu wants to call on people to rise up

and overthrow this cannibalistic old system.

I don't agree.

In my point of view, the madman in this novel

is nothing but a man with paranoia,

in a state of extreme nervousness.

He thinks everyone wants to harm him.

He is simply a lunatic.

There've been many unusual people in history

who have overthrown old traditions.

Could they all be seen lunatics?

Hangjing, what do you think of the novel?

That's not necessarily.

I think Mr. Lu Xun's intention

is to tell people not to be a spectator.

Spectator?

What does it mean?

But if he is wrong…

Excuse me. Sit down, please.

Sit down, please.

Zizheng, what's your point of view?

I think this novel's main idea

is not about persecution as people said.

It's less like a documentary literature
by a mentally ill person.

Instead, it's Lu Xun's expression of his

deep hatred of the mindset as a spectator.

Zizheng, can you explain it more specific?

Hangjing, he has the same view as you.

About feudal ethics

and feudal family system,

Mr. Lu Xun uses the mouth of a madman

to tell people not to remain silent
and not to be an onlooker.

He wants to use a madman's indomitable spirit

and resistance spirit

to arouse the people and express anger,

dissatisfaction, resentment and anxiety.

It's useless to just feel these ways.

We must take actions.

Only daring to act may lead to changes.

Without taking actions,

we could only become madmen.

Those daring to act are revolutionists

who could truly overthrow feudal ethics.

Whether we will have a bright future

depends on whether or not we work hard now.

Good point.

- Well said.
- Good point.

This student's point of view

is the same as ours.

Well, we have rare visitors,

students from Shengyi All Girls Academy.

Shengyi All Girls Academy?

Students there are from
either rich or notable families.

We're talking about
new literature and current politics.

We pursue equality, freedom and justice.

I don't think these ladies feeling superior

could understand what we are talking about.

This student,

since you mentioned

the pursuit of equality, freedom and justice,

the first thing is to break class divisions.

But in your mind,

people are divided into different classes.

You seem to be particularly stubborn
about class division.

I…

We're all here for debates.

I hope to see more students joining us

for more impacts on our ideas.

I welcome students from Shengyi Academy.

Welcome.

- Welcome.
- Welcome.

Thank you.

So, like the other boys there,

you're also from Dacheng Boys' School?

I'm not a student.

I work at my uncle's kite shop.

I'll go to Dacheng to audit when I'm free.

So, I know those students.

It's not easy

to study while working.

Work is to make a living

and study is to get nutrition.

Both are indispensable.

Hangjing,

my uncle's kite shop is just at

the second intersection on West 2nd Street.

Would you like to take a look there?

Not today. I got to go.

Okay then.

You're welcome to stop by

when you're free.

Okay.

See you.

What?

Why are you still up so late?

Commandant Luo.

Xiao Beichen,

you've violated the school disciplines.

What bothers you?

Tell me about it.

We're the ones who made the mistake,

but Instructor Du…

Just for this?

You are

still kids.

You don't understand

Instructor Du's intention at all.

Internally speaking,

Du Heng is the instructor

and you're cadets.

He could punish you for your mistakes.

But externally,

you are all his soldiers.

He is to be blamed

for all your mistakes.

He should be the first to be punished.

It should be the same on the battlefield.

There are no soldiers but only generals

who should be blamed for mistakes.

One general

determines thousands of lives

and countless people's fates.

I got it.

You mean he is telling us that.

Yes.

Du Heng is a qualified general.

He could teach you a lot

and help you a lot.

Haven't you noticed

those scars on his body?

Yes, I've noticed that.

Those must be left from wars.

Instructor Du has won many battles

and also lost many battles.

But for a solider,

losing a battle is as valuable as a victory.

To be honest,

many troops came here

to offer him a higher rank.

But Instructor Du has never been touched.

He just stays here as an instructor.

Other instructors

focus on practical combat skills in training.

But he disagrees with that.

He spends much time to tell his cadets

why we go to a war.

He often says

we should avoid wars by force.

Going to war is not the ultimate goal.

It's the most effective way to end chaos

in a short time in exchange for peace.

That's the real purpose of being a soldier.

You will get it.

Yes.

It's cold.

Wear more clothes

to avoid getting a cold.

[Xinping Military Academy]

Instructor Du,

here is your parcel.

[To: Du Heng, Xinping Military Academy Shanghai Times Press]

[A comparative view of French and Russian revolutions]

Famous British writer Dickens

exposed many social diseases at that time

through his book Oliver Twist.

For examples, there were dark almshouses,

child labor, youth involvement in crime, etc.

He mocked social hypocrisy

satirically and ironically.

This is a book

really worth reading.

Mr. Cao's explanation and recommendation

benefit us a lot.

As usual,

let's go back and take some notes

and discuss it next time.

Everyone, see you next time.

- See you.
- See you.

This is yours.

Thank you.

See you next time.

See you next time.

We're leaving then.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Hangjing, we got to go first.

Bye.

Bye.

Hangjing,

I think we should come to the Society

more often.

We can not only learn knowledge

but also meet many students here,

especially the boy who lent you an eraser.

Chengyu, what are you saying?

I saw it. Admit it.

You saw what?

I saw how you were looking at each other.

Chengyu!

I'm just kidding.

But he's the first boy who is so attentive

I've ever seen.

You know what?

His family used to be rich.

His father was a court painter
in the Qing Dynasty.

It could be called a literary family.

But his father smoked opium,
which ruined the family,

and he died later.

How did you know that?

I learned it from someone from the Society.

He's living with his mother now.

He has no money to go to school,

so he would go to the school as an auditor

when he is free.

Did you see those kites in his basket?

I was told that he painted those kites.

His father died long ago,

but he's talented in painting as his father.

That's what he inherited from his father,

enabling him to make a living with his mother.

I didn't know

he suffered such a tragic family change.

It would be good
if boys and girls are at the same school.

Then we could meet more excellent boys

and live up to our expectations.

Hangjing,

what are you thinking?

Nothing.

I agree with what you said.

You finally admit it.

Huyang Pass

is a paramount military fortress
in the south of the Great Wall.

In the south of our Zhibei,

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
In the south of our Zhibei,

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
Yang Gongcheng has deployed 20 thousand soldiers in the border areas.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
And they have launched an artillery barrage

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
against our border garrison.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
An urgent telegram came from Warlord Jin.

An urgent telegram came from Warlord Jin.

He ordered us to do whatever it takes
to defend Huyang Pass.

Because Qingshan Iron Mine

is an important source of fiscal revenue

for the Zhibei.

We must not let Yang Gongcheng take it.

I learned that

Warlord Jin didn't plan to send us there.

But why has he changed his mind?

And we have to send most of the troops.

What does he want?

I think

he just wants Ying Army to be cannon fodder.

Commander,

we can't be used as guns for nothing.

- Right.
- Yes.

He controls the region if we win.

But if we lose,

it's our brothers who will die.

Military orders can't be disobeyed.

Is it your first day in the army?

Commander, then who will you send there?

Commander, as long as you say a word,

I'll risk my life to defend Huyang Pass.

I don't want you to risk your life.

I want you to come back safe and sound.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
Yes, Commander.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
That's it then.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
Go get ready for it.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]
Yes, Commander.

[Zhibei Strategic Defense Map]

We're leaving then.

Report.

This time,

the one ranking first in the overall score is

Xiao Beichen from Batch 5 Class 3.

We win.

We win. We win.

Instructor Du,

you can rest assured now.

They're only a couple of kids.

It's just the beginning.

You performed well today.

This is the reward from the academy.

It's a rare opportunity.

Just take a break.

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

It's simply a pot of boiled water.

He drinks it like drinking 30-year-old wine.

Boiled water?

Come on, Beichen, just smell it.

Where did you get this?

My God. Is it real or not?

Real.

Where did you get it?

Want it?

Beichen, Beichen.

- But not for you.
- Beichen.

Beichen, please.

Let me take a sip.

Just a sip. Okay?

Okay.

You lied.

You always lied to me!

This is:

getting drunk not by wine,

and raising a glass to invite the moon

to drink with me and my shadow together.

Guys,

are you saying poems?

I'm a rough man.

But I remember one line, too.

Birds live in the trees near the pool,

and a monk knocks at the door under the moon.

What do you think?

Good.

It's good.

It's the only poem I can remember.

I also remember one.

If it's like the moon
with eternal brightness and purity,

I just want to warm things up for you.

What do you say?

Good, good.

It's good.

What do these mean?

I remember one.

Well…

Forget it.

It would be the dawn when you remember it.

I do know one.

The moon is as round as a steamed bun,

two are not enough for a meal.

Is that good?

Applaud.

Tell you what.

Good poem.

They're so kitsch.

Really kitsch.

By the way,

we're so lucky to have Dou with us.

All our clothes were sewn by Dou.

Right?

You're all good to me.

I have never gone to a school

and I'm not good at using a weapon or gun.

I feel very happy

to do sewing work for you

and be useful.

You are too thin

to be a soldier.

Right?

What was your dream?

My parents

were tailors at my hometown.

I've wanted to be a tailor since I was little.

When I get the military pay,

I'll make a wedding dress

for my sister.

Then she could be a glamorous bride.

Okay, we will remember that.

When we graduate,

all the dress

will be paid by you.

Okay, thank you, Beichen.

Beichen, how can you pay for that?

Dou will make a wedding dress.

If you want Dou to make dress,

you got to find a wife first.

Isn't there one in your house?

What are you saying?

She is a real beauty, real good looking.

You have a sow.

Sow?

- You.
- You.

Who are you talking about?

Do you want to die?

Get up. Get up.

Come on. Come on.

Beichen, don't drop me.

Please.

[Zhang's Kite Shop]

[Zhang's Kite Shop]
What happened?

What happened?

Come on, let me help you.

I'll carry this for you.

Where do you live?

Just ahead.

Mum?

Zizheng.

Hangjing.

Are you feeling better, mum?

Yes.

Do you know each other?

Mum,

Hangjing

is also a member of the Society.

What kind of fate is this?

Hangjing,

just stay and have the meal with us.

No, thanks, aunt.

You're not feeling good today.

I'd better go now.

I'll come to see you again.

I'm fine.

I'm feeling much better now.

I'll make some dishes today

as my appreciation for your help.

Well…

Hangjing, just stay.

You helped my mum.

My mum could express her thanks
by cooking a meal for you.

Okay, then.

Thank you, aunt.

[Beixin Pioneer News]
Here are some topics. You may take a look.

[Beixin Pioneer News]

Hangjing, meal is ready.

Did you take these photos?

Yes.

So, it's you.

You contributed these photos
to Pioneer News Agency.

Right?

How do you know that?

I of course know that.

Because my first column was written

based on your photos.

So, you're Qingyong?

Your article was really thought-provoking

and woke up people from all walks of life

to help children in distress.

Outside the city gate,

I can rarely see homeless kids.

That thanks to the photos you contributed.

Your photos could shock readers intuitively

and inspired me.

We should have known each other long ago.

You know what?

The Agency vigorously promoted donations
and organized charity sales.

An orphanage was constructed

and has taken in many homeless kids.

Director Zhang is looking for someone
for wall painting.

I'm actually here for that.

Are you willing to do it?

Sure.

When?

Next week will be okay.

Okay.

Then that's it.

Report.

Come in.

What is it?

Commander,

I heard that Xinping Military Academy will

send cadets of Batch 5 to Huyang Pass.

Those cadets are soldiers, too.

It's normal for them to go to war, right?

So, is this your order

or Warlord Jin's?

Why do you ask that?

Yang Gongcheng's troops
are attacking Huyang Pass menacingly.

We are fighting a fierce battle

and it's really hard to defend it.

Besides, Third Young Master Xiao
is among the cadets.

Isn't he a soldier?

But…

There is nothing to worry about.

Sending them there doesn't mean

asking them to the front directly.

They would just be kept in the logistics.

It's time for Beichen

to get some field trainings.

You

just go there

to supervise and follow up his performance.

Don't treat him differently.

Roger that.
