A Deep Strong Memory

The ship! It's sinking! The ship's sinking!

Boss...

Yeah.

The Hong Hua Hui are truly done for this time.

Tai-Yan.

Go. Get out of here.

The Qing Bang will shoot you down if they see you.

I don't know what to say...

I'm... I'm...

Save your breath. Your death would've been a great loss to the martial art world. That's all.

Thank you both for allowing me...

to face my father Zhang Da-Yan.

But Kenshiro,

tell me one last thing.

Is Li Xiu-Bao really Yu-Ling with memory loss?

Then you should tell her who you are.

You'll never meet another woman like her.

I understand.

But,

I can't force someone who's lost their memory to love me.

If fate wants us to be together, she'll recover her memory one day.

Fate...?

That's what I believe.

If my love remains strong, my wish will reach the heavens.

General Okawa.

I am very grateful you accepted to make a stop in Shanghai after your inspection in Nanfang

No, no. Don't mention it, Mr. Kitaoji.

It's for your sake, after all.

But it seems like things are quite rowdy here.

The quarrels in Shanghai go on day and night.

But I am surprised by the news.

Li Xiu-Bao wishes to surrender to us?

General... About that...

Li Xiu-Bao is a special woman.

If we let her live, she will be a great service to our country.

And so,

I was thinking if there's any way to spare her life.

Mr. Kitaoji!

Are you serious?

We are suppressing the bandits in response to the requests of the local citizens.

Those who have caused such atrocious damage must serve as an example.

There is no way we can pardon her.

I know, but...

Can you not make her punishment more lenient?

No.

She is too famous.

Mr. Okawa!

Many soldiers have died while suppressing the bandits.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kitaoji.

Li Xiu-Bao....

will...

be executed!

It can't be...

Chief...

Chief Xiu-Bao...

The Hong Hua Hui are over.

I don't know why, but...

I always felt uneasy... whenever I heard the words, "Hong Hua Hui".

This feeling still hasn't changed...

In the end, I was always pretty sure that I had nothing to do with the Hong Hua Hui.

And yet...

I always felt something when I came here.

I guess I felt like...

I knew this city.

These gas lights...

These stone-paved roads...

These tattered posters...

Everything...

seems precious to me.

What's this?

Excuse me... this picture...

It's you!

My apologies. It was so pretty I just had to put it up.

It's been two years now, hasn't it?

I waited a long time, but you never came to pick it up...

I had another picture somewhere round here...

Excuse me...

Was it really me that...?

Ah! See, I found it!

Here it is!

T-that's...

I never thought she'd do this.

We'll go out and look for her right away...

No.

It's best not to move around imprudently.

Right.

I want this to be kept secret. Got it?

Y-yes.

Besides...

she'll be better off if she doesn't come back.

What's the matter?

Come on in.

Kenshiro!

That was you?

Xiu-Bao...

No, Yu-Ling's gone?

Yeah.

Kitaoji sent word through Guise,

saying it's for our ears only.

It seems that the interview with General Okawa

has been set for tomorrow.

And I thought... Maybe she'd be here...

Yeah.

'Cause this is where you two lived when you were young.

Right.

Here, try it.

I don't want it.

I don't want it!

I don't want you to die for me!

But...

I don't want it!

I don't want you...

to die either.

If you die...

I'll be all alone!

So, how are your injuries?

I was pretty sure you'd escape safely from the ship, but...

About that, I've got to tell you something.

It's about Tai-Yan.

I already know.

After all, this is you we're talking about here.

Your sensitivities as a martial artist got the best of you again, right?

Yeah.

Besides, the Hong Hua Hui are over.

Tai-Yan can't do anything by himself.

However, I won't be as forgiving if that insect decides to crawl back to Shanghai...

Man, this place bring back memories.

To think that this shack is still here...

Yeah,

this is the only place that hasn't changed.

Pan, do you remember...

when you and I met?

G-Guang-Lin!

What're you doing here?

So this is what you've been up to.

You've been sneaking out of the house every day with this man...

What're you saying?

I found this man dying by the river!

So I was just nursing him...

You're lying!

You've been acting different lately!

I'm a gangster, ya know.

You know what happens when you lay your hands on a gangster's sister without permission, huh?

What's with you?

Quit acting overconfident!

Aren't you afraid of death?

I die.. over and over in my dreams.

So when I wake up, I'm already dead.

There's no need for a dead man to fear death.

Just who are you?

I'm just a martial artist.

Martial artist?

Yeah.

Just out of curiosity,

did you come here alone?

Of course!

You think I'd drag along my men to stalk my sister?

Then, you'd better turn round and shoot at the door.

I smell guns and a thirst for blood.

That's a Hong Hua Hui hitman!

Were you really not afraid?

You may be a gangster...

but your eyes

aren't the eyes of a mad dog.

Yu-Ling.

Take care of this man.

But take care of him at my house.

Guang-Lin...

Yeah.

That's the day we became Peng-You.

But that's only because Yu-ling brought us together.

That's so true.

But...

But you know...

Pan...

But...

now it's Yu-Ling that's dancing with death.

We just found out she's alive...

but she lost her memory...

she fought with bandits...

and now she's going to get executed for those bandits!

Is this what you call fate?

Does she have to have this fucking horrible fate?

Does she have to...

Don't worry, I'll look for Yu-Ling.

The Qing Bang can't make a big a fuss about it.

That's right.

But if Yu-Ling...

is thinking of leaving the city...

I got it.

Hey, look at these stupid corpses!

Yeah. Looks like the Hong Hua Hui are done for.

You're right. How pathetic.

Where did that come from...?

You've got a lot of guts to step on me.

Just you wait.

Now I, Chen the Weasel,

am the boss of the Hong Hua Hui!

Hey, pretty lady!

You wanna try?

Okay, okay, you ready?

There!

The old guy won the deck?!

Looks like I'll be taking all this then!

Listen.

Exposing a fraud,

especially when you're not gambling, wouldn't have ended well.

His gang would've come and beaten you up.

Don't want to listen to me?

Oh well.

Let's just eat and go home.

How did you find me?

Oh, is that what's bothering you?

That's simple. It was your scent.

My scent?

Yeah.

Everyone has their own unique scent.

And my nose is very sensitive, you see.

In short, I tracked your scent

Thank you for waiting.

For example, take a look at this.

Not again!

Sneak away...

Hold up!

Yes, what do you want?

At first glance, this appears to be ordinary ramen.

But I wonder what would happen if you eat it?

Me? Me?!

Now don't hold back

It's tasty, right? At any rate, this bowl smells a lot like poison.

The poison! The poison!!!

Yan Wang!

If we kill you now...

we'll be able to revive the Hong Hua Hui!

Let's go.

Now!

Damn, they're getting away!

After them!

You're not going anywhere!

Shit.

Where'd they go?

They gotta be around here somewhere...

Those dumbasses are looking pretty hard.

That's so true.

We didn't get to eat that ramen, so take this...

Thank you.

So...

what should we do now?

No one will recognize us if we're dressed like this...

You wanna leave Shanghai?

The interview with General Okawa...

It's been set, hasnt it?

Yeah.

It's tomorrow.

I see.

Well then... I have to go back.

I see. You're going back

But you know...

We've still got some time left before tomorrow.

Let's go.

I'll show you around Shanghai.

Ready?

Yes!

It's so strange.

I'm seeing these sights for the first time,

but they seem so familiar.

I think, that before the bandits saved me...

I must've lived here in Shanghai.

If I didn't, I wouldn't have remembered this beautiful view.

Yeah.

You did,

Yu-Ling.

It's so familiar... and so beautiful.

I bet ten years from now... twenty years from now...

No, even further than that,

people will feel the same way about Shanghai.

But, by that time...

I won't... be there

What's that?

Oh.

It's just a church.

I want to see it... before we go back.

If you insist.

Yes.

Take a good look... at this church.

You attended this church quite frequently

Also,

this is where you treated my wounds when you found me floating on the Huangpu.

Quite a skinny God, isn't he?

You.. loved that God.

You always got mad when I called him skinny.

Did you remember what I used to say?

I'm sure he became this way,

because he carried everyone's sorrows.

But why does this God keep his mouth shut?

Right.

He's just like you.

Why won't you tell me anything?

I know you know something about my past.

That's...

I found it at a photographer's store in town.

The shopkeeper told me that these people were a couple.

Can you still say you don't know me?

I see.

You've found a clue to your past

But...

I can't do anything.

You have no choice but to recover your memory on your own

Forgive me, Yu-Ling.

I love you more... more than anything.

That's why...

That's why I...

I don't know you.

Why?

Why are you saying that?

Can't you understand...

the pain of losing your entire memory... the hardship that entails?

I must have had...

a mother and father... and someone I loved...

Having forgotten...

Having forgotten all of them...

Can't you understand how I feel?

I'm...

about to die.

So I at least...

want to die knowing the ones I loved!

Please!

Miss Xiu-Bao...

Don't give up.

If you wish strongly...

you can...

you can change fate!
