Be careful.

What are you doing?

Move it over here.

Unload the goods.

Park the vehicle

at the agreed spot.

Yes.

Captain Xiao.

Taikun.

A great harvest.

Great joy.

I brought for Taikun

food, drinks, and supplies.

And bath water.

In Chinese,

this means clean and tidy.

Brings good luck.

Brothers, please help move these.

You guys, go move the stuff.

Yes.

Captain Xiao.

Thank you for your cooperation all this time.

So,

the Major has decided

to invite you to join the Autumn Festival.

Let's have a drink together to celebrate the harvest.

Yes.

It's my honor.

It's my honor.

All eight old trees are here.

Uncle.

Which pine tree?

That one.

The tallest and thickest one.

Look carefully.

Okay.

How is it?

Is there anything?

Uncle.

Not a single mark is carved.

Logically,

We stayed at Tuozipen

for quite a while.

We should be the last to arrive.

They should have arrived first.

Right?

None of them made it out.

That can't be.

No, that's impossible.

Look,

the Japanese soldiers

have been searching the mountains nonstop.

They've scared all the villagers.

So,

they're all hiding from our Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

And the bandits,

and also

the puppet troops,

none of them are quiet.

On their way here,

they must have suffered more than us.

It was even harder for them.

Xiaogui, Xiaogui.

Carve ours

and Hua's marks

on the tree first.

Okay.

Uncle

The mark is finished.

Okay.

Let's go back to Songlin Town and wait for them.

Let's go back.

The liaison station in town

is gone.

This means

the Japanese are already watching us.

It's just the two of us.

And we're carrying so much money.

Going back won't end well.

Their group wanted to rob the ginseng.

They didn't want to pay.

Now the money's gone.

They definitely won't let us go.

We need to lay low for a while.

Gui'er

Uncle promised you

you could go home to see your father.

Now's a good time. Go home.

Uncle

If I go home, what about you?

I... I miss home too.

Once things calm down,

I'll come find you at your place.

Then we'll go out together again.

And get them.

Alright.

Where did you carve it? Let me see.

Right here.

Knife.

Make it deeper.

Gui'er,

whether you're on your way home

or at home,

watch what you say.

And

don't do anything reckless.

Don't give yourself away.

Don't reveal your identity.

Got it, Uncle.

Hello, sister-in-law. Hello!

Hello, sister-in-law.

What are you washing?

Radishes, sister-in-law.

I'll make something tasty for you tonight.

Great, thank you, sister-in-law.

Thank you, sister-in-law.

Little Sichuan, come here.

I sewed some clothes for you. Take a look.

How is it?

It's good, thank you, sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law.

Check if the herbs we just dried are any good.

Let me see.

They're pretty good.

Give them to me.

Alright, I'll be going then.

Captain Xiao

Let's celebrate

the joy of the harvest

May your life

be filled with wonderful memories

You have also contributed

to the Empire

Sir

For the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity

you traveled thousands of miles

crossed the sea

and came to Northeast China

What surprised me is

your Chinese

is really good

almost like a Northeasterner

Oh my!

Captain Xiao

I heard you know a lot about Japanese culture

and have studied it deeply

especially Japanese songs

I'm dying to hear them

That's great

That's great

Cheers

Cheers

Before I blow up the oil depot

you must take out these sentries

When the explosion draws the enemy away

everyone rush out together

Attention

The Autumn Festival in the Empire

is to celebrate the harvest

Today we hold the Autumn Festival

to celebrate

the completion of the first phase of construction

I hope that by this time next year

China's land will have become

a gift to His Majesty the Emperor

Today is a milestone

Let's keep working hard

Let's all raise a toast

Cheers

Cheers

His Majesty the Emperor

Long live

Long live

Long live

Long live

Captain Xiao

I've had enough to drink

I'll excuse myself

Alright

Goodbye

Goodbye

Sir

Something's wrong

Come quickly

What's the matter?

Sir

There's trouble here

Someone called our festival nonsense

Insulted our Autumn Festival

It's him

I didn't do it, sir

I didn't

I didn't do it, sir

I didn't say it, I didn't say it

Let me tell you something.

That big pit we dug a few days ago,

was for the Japanese to bury us alive.

You definitely don't want

to die here, right?

Soon, I'll drive

over to pick you up.

Listen to Fuqing's instructions.

We'll rush out together.

These two Japanese soldiers

were killed here.

Tonight, no one in this room

should expect to survive.

Why are you still

standing around?

Either way, it's death.

What's more important than life?

It all depends on this chance.

Soon, follow me

and we'll charge out together.

Got it.

Are you okay?

I haven't seen you before.

Yamamoto.

I brought some wine. Let's drink together.

What happened?

Report!

There was an explosion near the oil depot.

Go check it out quickly.

Hurry, hurry!

That bastard!

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Captain.

Move!

That bastard...

Wait!

Stop, stop, stop.

What's wrong?

Just go if you want.

Why did you blow up their oil depot?

We'll talk about it later.

Let me drive.

What's up?

You want to drive?

What are you trying to do?

No, I...

We need to bring the others.

Why do you care about them?

Just leave, that's enough.

Take them with us.

I'll get myself killed for this.

We can't just abandon them.

I don't have that many lives to lose.

Brother, I'm begging you.

Alright.

I'll do as you say.

Because you're my brother.

Thank you, brother. Thank you.

Old Tang.

Old Tang.

Old Tang.

What's going on?

I don't know either.

Old Tang isn't in the car.

No, I have to go find him.

Wait—

What about the others?

I have to find Old Tang.

Darn it.

The Japanese are catching up.

Hurry, go!

Go, now!

The car's here, let's go!

The car's here!

Hurry!

Old Tang!

Quick, chase them!

Stop.

If you want to live, come with me.

Hurry, go!

Run!

Everyone, keep up!

Wait!

Head into the woods!

Quick, go, go!

Spread out, don't bunch together!

Get out of the car, quickly!

Over there!

Search over there, move faster!

Chase them!

Yes!

Hurry, hurry, faster!

Everyone, keep up!

Run uphill!

Split up!

Split up!

Run!

Faster, faster!

I'm Japanese!

I'm Japanese!

Don't kill me!

I'm Japanese!

Don't kill!

Keep chasing!

Don't let them get away!

Quick!

I'll carry you, let's go!

Leave me, go!

Go!

Li Zhenghao!

Chase them!

Stop!

There's no way ahead!

Where can we run?

There's no way out!

What do we do now?

What now?

Shoot!

Jump!

If we don't jump, we'll die anyway.

Don't kill me.

Don't kill me, I won't run anymore.

Get out of the way.

Retreat.

Xiao Tielin

You bastard!

We could've taken them with us.

Why not?

Stop shouting.

They're all gone.

Xiao Tielin

Xiao Tielin

Bastard!

Fu Qing

I got you all into trouble.

Go, quickly!

Hurry!

Fire!

Now presenting the beautiful Lan Ruilian.

The young lady is

sitting in her room.

Suddenly hears her mother-in-law

shouting loudly.

She puts down her steel needle,

winds the yarn,

gathers the colorful threads,

all five colors of blue.

She bows slightly,

and from under the bed,

Er Jinlian stands

on the flat ground.

I say, you little brat,

are you trying to starve me?

It's already noon,

why haven't you made me lunch yet?

Remember this,

I want to drink

spring water that hasn't touched the ground.

After I finish this bowl,

bring me the next one.

Did you remember?

What are you thinking?

Go make food.

You brat, go cook.

Never learn.

Mother-in-law.

The young lady feels sad when she hears this.

Mother-in-law nags every day.

She steps out of the room.

The kitchen is just ahead.

Yunhu.

Okay.

Alright.

Fuqing.

How are you still alive?

You're still alive.

Come in, come in, come in!

This is your room.

But now it's ours.

Come on, come in.

Get on the kang quickly.

It's warm on the kang.

Come.

Feels warm, right?

This warm kang.

You're enjoying comfort now.

What comfort?

Hurry.

Tell me,

what happened to you?

How did you end up like this?

You should tell me first.

How come you're not dead?

I'll tell you.

Just one sentence.

Someone saved me.

So I survived.

Survived a great disaster,

there must be blessings ahead.

You're enjoying good fortune now.

Alright.

Quick, tell me

what really happened.

Come.

Serve me some.

Are you sure you saw it clearly?

Old Tang really wasn't on the truck?

I saw it for sure.

That truck at the time,

passed right in front of me.

Old Tang wasn't on it.

I wanted to go back for him.

But I couldn't go back then.

You know?

If I went back,

I'd be killed by the Japanese.

When I looked back,

there were still people behind me.

I had to lead them away.

Just like back at Jinggou,

when I saw you trapped in the mine.

I wanted to go back and save you too.

But they

wanted to kill both of us.

You know?

If I went back,

I'd die there too.

So I ran by myself.

I didn't go back to save you.

Yunhu.

Why are you crying?

Don't blame me, Yunhu.

I don't blame you, so why are you crying?

Why would I blame you?

Don't cry, don't cry.

I ran by myself.

Why go back?

If one survives, that's enough.

Don't cry.

Stop crying.

Stop crying, be good.

So what happened after?

Was it okay?

Give it here.

In that pile of bodies,

was Old Tang there?

No.

I checked, Old Tang wasn't there.

He wasn't the one hanging halfway up the mountain either.

Don't panic.

It's okay, it's okay.

We're family, we're family.

It's fine.

Here, here.

The front yard is busy.

I grabbed two dishes when I had a moment.

Heated up two buns.

Not enough for you to talk about.

Alright.

Just something to fill your stomach.

Where did this living ghost come from?

What living ghost?

This is my brother.

My real brother.

Closer than real brothers.

Alright.

Real brothers get fed, come on.

Go do your work, it's fine.

What are you doing?

We've got guests at home.

Can't I say hello?

No, the smell is strong.

It'll stink you up again.

It smelled even worse when you first came.

Help boil water for a bath.

Sorry for the trouble.

Always something.

Thanks.

Come, come.

You must be starving.

Eat while it's hot.

You just said we're family.

I mean,

I meant our own people.

Our own people.

Yeah, that's right.

Won't harm us.

Eat, eat, eat.

Yunhu.

It's all meat.

You eat this every day?

Not every day.

I eat it every meal.

No wonder you're

so fair and chubby.

Alright, you believe whatever I say.

Now that you're here,

I can treat you.

Eat up.

Stop talking.

Then I'll eat.

Go ahead, eat.

Slow down, slow down.

Are you full?

This cup is for Old Tang.

Fu Qing.

Maybe Old Tang is still alive.

Aren't we both doing fine?

Right?

Yeah.

That's a good point.

Let's hope Old Tang is still alive.

Hope all our comrades are well.

Cheers.

Feeling warmer now.

Qing.

You've really had a tough journey.

All these years.

Haven't we all lived like this?

Alright.

The northwest wind blows to Guandong.

Yesterday's heavy snow weighed down the pines.

The drifting snow turned the yellow dog white.

Covered that white dog.

Don't sing here.

Go sing at the graves on the back hill.

Xiao Tielin.

Listen to your voice.

What a mess you are.

And you call yourself Xiao Tielin.

You've been complaining the whole way.

We're home.

Hurry home and have some water.

Moisten your throat.

Dad.

Mom.

You're back.

Son.

How long can you stay this time?

Mom.

I can't stay long.

I...

Don't move.

Stand there.

You guys.

Take the stuff inside.

There's more in the car.

You.

Go out.

Come on, get inside.

Mom.

The northwest wind blows to Guandong.

Last night's snow weighed down the pines.

The drifting snow turned the yellow dog white.

The white dog ended up swollen.

The northwest wind blows to Guandong.

Yesterday's heavy snow weighed down the pines.

Mom.

Who is it?

It's me.
