Everyone is responsible

for reporting espionage

To conceal it

is also a crime

Severe punishment to those

Who incite rebellious thoughts

For subverting the government

The sentence is death

(Association is banned)

Everyone is responsible

for reporting espionage

Good morning, sir

Good morning, sir

Wear your cap properly

Do it

What's inside your schoolbag?

Open it

Good morning, sir

I told you not to bring it here

Open the schoolbag

Open it

Don't bring it here to school

or you'll get punished

Come to my office at lunch break

Thank you, sir

You idiot

He could've found the book

Wei Zhong-ting

Thank you

Staring at that girl again?

I heard Instructor Bai was searching Sheng's schoolbag

No big deal

Don't worry about it

If he's not careful enough

we'll be dead when we're busted

We'd better be invisible

to Instructor Bai's eyes

Salute to the flag!

Magnificent landscape

Bountiful produce

We're the best

In East Asia

Never abandon hopes

Nor stand still

Glorify our nation

Make a better world

Come in

What's new?

It's Tagore

Have you finished that one?

It's my turn

Wait

Not yet

You're copying the illustrations?

No wonder it takes you forever

I just want to copy everything in it

What if we won't get to read it again?

Come on

OKEY

You should draw it properly

It looks ugly. Do it again

You call this ugly?

What about that?

A bell-fruit?

Better than yours

In the meantime, Dragon Warrior

descends from the sky

to attack the devil by surprise

Hey

Give it back

I'm the mighty Dragon Warrior

Instructor Bai scared me to death today

Today we're reading Tagore

Not just because he was an important Indian poet

But also a philosopher against the British colonialism

The leaf becomes flower

when it loves

Weren't we all born free?

We deeply believed in it

while we hid in the school storeroom

copying those precious pages, word for word

But ironically

we lived in an era that

talking about freedom was a crime

and reading banned books would cost us our lives

(In 1962, during the Cold War, Taiwan was under martial law)

(All books contained Communist or left-wing thoughts were strictly banned)

(Reading them would be severely punished, even with death penalty)

Tell me

Where are the books from?

Are you in conspiracy against the government?

Confess

or die with your friends

Hey

No testimony if he's dead

Damn

We've pulled out all his fingernails

and got nothing

What was the worst wasn't being tortured

by the Garrison Command

but those nightmares

I told myself every day that

as long as I was dead

I'd never dream about Greenwood High School

or any of them in the book club

or Fang Ray-shin

But when I finally lost consciousness

I realized that

it was the beginning of the worst nightmare

(Greenwood High School)

(Nightmare)

Mr. Zhang

Mr. Zhang

Mr. Zhang!

The country

will be grateful to you

It's you

Why are you still here so late at school?

I fell asleep

Me too

Everyone was gone when I woke up

I have a feeling

that I've dreamt about this before

I didn't know we have a grave here

without a name on it

(Fang Ray-shin)

Lefsleave

Do you remember

what happened before you fell asleep?

I don't remember anything

The road is gone

Hey

Why don't you have a seat?

It's so dusty

By the Way

My name is Wei Zhong-ting

I'm Fang Ray-shin

I know

You're a model student

I've seen your articles on the bulletin board

How can I compare to you

Writing those taboo in your workbook

You might be caught by Instructor Bai

Afraid of me telling anyone?

Hello?

Hello?

Only static

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Zhang?

Get... out of here

Mr. Zhang?

Hello?

I hear nothing

Mr. Zhang is still here

But it's the only phone in the school

Are you sure it was him?

Yeah, I'm sure

Even if he called from somewhere else

How did he know we're in the school?

The windows are sealed

I don't think Mr. Zhang is inside

Certain subversive group

Has been found

In the school

What does it mean?

Where did he go?

Mr. Zhang's desk has been searched

And Miss Yin's too

Having a bad day?

Already feel better when I see you

Did Instructor Bai give you a hard time?

Fang

Fang

What did you see?

Nothing

What's wrong?

Fang

Come with me

(In Mourning)

What's this for?

Doesn't it mean someone's dead?

Where are we going?

To the custodian for the key

What key?

I'm going into the storeroom

Aren't we here for Mr. Zhang?

Something happened to our book club

Mr. Zhang was one of us

He's in

Mr. Gao

Can I borrow the key?

Mr. Gao

I fought all the battles

with the Party for over twenty years

I killed countless enemies

And all my fellow soldiers knew that

No one loved the Party more than I did

I only got some cigarettes from you

and lent you the key

And they charged me with what?

Helping the insurgents?

In conspiracy with the Communists?

Fuck them

They beat me up

and pulled out all my teeth

What has it to do with me?

Tell me

What has it to do

with me?

You son of a bitch!

What were you conspiring

in that storeroom?

You're with the Communists!

Run!

I'll kill you

to show my loyalty to the Party

I'll kill you all

This way

You've got the wrong guy

Everyone is responsible

It's not me

You've got the wrong guy

You've got it wrong

They're with the Communists

Not me

You've got it wrong

You've got it wrong

Everyone is responsible

for reporting espionage

To conceal it

is also a crime

For subverting the government

The sentence is death

The sentence is death

Fang

We're safe now

What was that?

Fang

Fang

Let's go

Something really happened

You had a book club here with Mr. Zhang?

Yeah

After school every day

Miss Yin would bring a book

to read with us here

But the one who started it

was Mr. Zhang Ming-hui

5&0?

I knew it's you

You do it all the time

You spell trouble

Take it away

I'll do it after the ceremony -Bullshit

You're a teacher, aren't you?

You should set a good example

Mr. Gao

Relax, have a cigarette

Don't be upset

Here're the matches

Listen

If I see it after the ceremony

I'll throw it away

Got it, Mr. Gao

Mr. Zhang

Good morning, Miss Yin

What are the military police here for?

Are we having a drill?

Are they here for us?

Don't make a wild guess

Where is Miss Yin?

I haven't seen Mr. Zhang either

The military police are here

Where's Mr. Huang?

In the office

Where are the books?

Don't worry, I've hidden them

If they're here for me

just pretend you don't know me

Come what may

just protect the kids

Yeah, I know

Magnificent landscape

Bountiful produce

We're the best

In East Asia

Never abandon hopes

Nor stand still

Let 9Q!

Let 9Q!

Let me go!

Let 9Q!

Government kills!

Government

Resume the ceremony

Resume the ceremony!

Magnificent landscape

Bountiful produce

We're the best

In East Asia

Never abandon hopes

Nor stand still

Glorify our nation

Make a better world

Louder! -Remember those who

Built the nation in hardship

Cherish what we have

Keep our feet on the ground

Let's work together

Be persistent

Salute to our national flag

Let's work together

Be persistent

Salute to our national flag

My dad said the Command

can extort a confession by torture

Maybe Mr. Huang will...

I trust him

Just like I trust you

Then why do we have to stop?

All the teachers are under investigation

I can't involve you in it

But Miss Yin

Did they take all the books?

Mr. Zhang managed to save some

But it's too dangerous to bring in books

We'll get the books from Mr. Zhang

Yeah

If the teachers are being watched

we'll get the books

No

I may not be able to save you if you're caught

I'll be the first

I'll pretend to hand in my assignment

Chang's next

Then Mao

and Wen-xiong

and Zhou Xin

and Sheng

We'll take turns to go

But even the teachers are being watched

If one of us gets caught

are you sure he or she won't betray us?

I won't

And I know you won't either

Be safe

Goodbye Miss Yin

Goodbye Miss Yin

Return the key to Mr. Gao with this

Got it

Now go

Sorry

Are you okay?

I'm fine

Hey

Will you tell anyone?

Tell what?

I saw nothing but your music workbook

Now the school look abandoned

With only our classes being marked with these

And the teacher's desks being searched

Plus the notification from the Command

I think they've been under arrest

But

He wouldn't have made the call if he's caught

Maybe he's hiding somewhere with the others

We used to gather in a bomb shelter

There's an emergency phone in it

Wait here

I'll go check

Burn them with joss paper so no one will find out

Burn them with joss paper so no one will find out

Wen-xiong

Something happened to the book club?

Are they hiding in the bomb shelter?

Sheng told on us

No way

Then tell me

Why does Instructor Bai have the book?

Wasn't it Sheng's turn to pick it up this week?

Keep it safe

Didn't you say that

no one would betray us?

Why did it end up like this?

Mr. Zhang

Why did you let Sheng join us in the first place?

What do you mean?

Wen-xiong doesn't like the fact

that he's always playing with his puppets

instead of reading books

Listen

When I was a student

just like Sheng

my mind was absent in class

I was always drawing

How I wished I had a teacher

who would give me some space

and allow me to draw

whenever I wanted to

Maybe I would be more than an art teacher

But

Is it worth the risk

for our sake?

Remember? Among Tag0re's poems

there is one

which I like a lot

The leaf becomes flower

when it loves

The flower becomes fruit

when it worships

The roots below the earth

claim no rewards

for making the branches fruitful

Wei

Why did it end up like this?

We've done nothing but reading books, haven't we?

Wen-xiong

Wei

Zhong

Ting

Run!

Run!

Wen-xiong

Everyone is responsible

for reporting espionage

To conceal it

is also a crime

Severe punishment goes to those

Who incite rebellious thoughts

For Subverting the government

The sentence is death

Run!

Run!

What the hell was that?

Are we really

still in the school?

Miss Yin

Wen-xiong was killed

Ma'am?

Of course he was

Because you've brought the rat here

Why bring her here?

Why is she here with you?

She gave the book to Instructor Bai

She got us all killed

No

Not me

Fang

Why did Miss Yin call you a rat?

I have no idea

Who gave you the book?

Tell me

Not me

I don't know

Why you?

Why?

(In Mourning)

Not me

Not my fault

Not me

Hello?

What's this for?

Doesn't it mean someone's dead?

You are the rat

It's you

Why are you still here so late at night?

I think I've dreamt about this before

I hear nothing

Mr. Zhang is still here

By the Way

I'm Wei Zhong-ting

I'm Fang Ray-shin

(The Whistleblower)

What the hell do you mean?

You do whatever you want with those women

But I don't want anything to do with them

What women?

Leave me alone

Tell me again

What women are you talking about?

Are you trying to ruin my day?

Don't touch me

What women?

Please leave me alone

Leave you alone

You should leave me alone

Help me, Buddha

Help me, Buddha

I had to listen to those murmuring old men at work

And you're haunting me at home?

What have I done to deserve this?

You heard it in your room?

Don't be like your mom

Being paranoid all the time

I'm married to him by ill fortune

Please answer

My prayer

Please show me a sign

I'm going to school

Please show me a sign

Last night, under the Commands investigation

an underground publisher was busted

Covering itself as a bookstore

They distributed banned books

The leaders were put under arrest

The Command wants you to report

all those who look suspicious

Do not conceal the criminals

Open the schoolbag

Open it

Don't bring it here to school

or you'll get punished

Attention everyone

All of you from Class 302

led by Mr. Huang

Please report to Instructor Bai after school

We're offering you

counseling about patriotism

Fang

Sir

Miss Li from the School Annals Room told me about this

What would the consequences be

Do you know?

Yes sir

Your father is going to be promoted

Don't get yourself into trouble

Instructor Bai

Mr. Zhang

She's a student under my supervision

Is she in trouble?

It's fine

Instructor Bai

I've made a college entrance questionnaire

for the senior students

Can I ask for her help?

Excuse us then

Mr. Zhang

Due to Mr. Huang's incident

We're going to investigate the staff

You'll have to forgive us

if there's any offense

Fang

Talk to me if you have anything

Let's go

You had fun painting the principals' faces?

I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang

Fill in the questionnaire and go back to class

(Having a bad day?)

(Already feel better when I see you)

(Did Instructor Bai give you a hard time?)

You're lucky Instructor Bai has been nice to you

You should be grateful

Yes sir

Why did Mr. Huang

bring banned books to school?

Now he's gone

and we're under investigation

Quiet

I heard they even questioned his wife

God knows how many more people will be involved

Are you all right?

(Are you coming tonight?)

I have to go

Go back to class now

I thought you weren't coming

A student of mine came to hand over the assignment

Drawing narcissus again

Yeah

What's good about it?

There are prettier flowers

Narcissuses look simple

It lives in its own world

paying no attention to what people think

I like it

But it must be lonely

It's not lonely

as long as someone understands it

I'll teach you to play a song

Help me, Buddha

It's about time

Sir

Don't make it difficult for us

My apologies

Help me, Buddha

Where are you going, Dad?

Ask your mom to call Instructor Bai

They don't know what they're doing

Help me, Buddha

Dad

Dad!

Where are they taking you?

Remember, call Instructor Bai

You hear?

Call Instructor Bai

Drive

Dad

Dad!

Dad!

Mom

Dad wanted you to call Instructor Bai

Mom

Dad wanted you to call...

He'll be fine

They said that

it's just a small corruption charge

He'll be fine

Buddha has answered my prayer

I found your dad's account book

soon after I prayed to Buddha

It was you

Do you know what I prayed Buddha for?

You told on him

I asked Buddha

to make him gone for good

When the rain stops

I'll walk you home

You can't stay here overnight

But I have nowhere to go

Your dad is Bai's good friend

He'll be home soon

Why don't you

stay home tomorrow?

We can watch movies another day

No, I'm going

It's the only thing I'm looking forward to now

Turn around

Turn around

As long as we're alive

There are lots of things to look forward to

OKEY

Have some rest

I'll walk you home later

Will you be by my side?

You won't leave me

like they did, right?

Why you?

Why?

Mr. Zhang

I think the song

is about to be banned soon

Then I'll play it as often as I can

Why are you suddenly interested in piano?

Heard this song from a friend

So I want to learn it

I have something to talk to you

What's going on

between you and Fang?

Stop before it's too late

I asked you to help her

go through the troubles at home

not to pull her into your arms

There's nothing between us

What if someone sees you?

Have you thought about the consequences?

We're under a crisis here

You'll involve her

if you're caught

I'll sort it out with her

But what about us?

You're not responsible for yourself only

You have to make a choice

Either you leave her

or you get out of our book club

Why haven't you come to meet me lately?

I saw your questionnaire about colleges

It looks fine

You seem stable to me emotionally

You don't need

my counseling anymore

You lied to me

You promised to stay with me

That's a gift for you

Just give it to Miss Yin

Fang

Didn't I tell you

to talk to me if you have anything?

Let 9Q!

Let 9Q!

Do you know what I prayed Buddha for?

If only she's gone for good

Right?

(Death to the betrayer)

Sheng

What are you doing here?

Wei

I couldn't find it

I couldn't find the head of my puppet

Here it is

Look

I'm The Dragon Warrior

Mr. Dragon Warrior

You've been participating in subversive activities

and trying to overset our government

I hereby

sentence you to death

Do you understand?

Do you?

Sheng

Did you give the book to Fang?

Are you beating me up too?

I won't hurt you

but you have to tell me the truth

I swore

Not to tell anybody

Who asked you to swear?

I swore I won't tell

even if you kill me

Who asked you to swear?

Wen-xiong called me

A rat

Chang and Mao beat me up

and locked me in the toolshed

But I didn't tell anyone

Wei

I didn't tell anyone

You took the book

Wei

You didn't give it to anyone, did you?

You didn't betray us, right?

Don't you wanna know why you are here?

This is where the sinful dead belong

Soon

you'll join others

to stay here forever

Tell me

Are you in conspiracy against the government?

If you want to be with Mr. Zhang

just give me the book

(Teacher: Yin Cui-Han)

Hey

Will you tell anyone?

Keep it safe

Can I borrow the book

that you were reading?

No

It's not mine

Can you borrow it for me?

Forget it

I'll get it myself

Fang

Sheng

I'm going to Mr. Zhang

during the break

I'll get the book for you

Really?

Yeah

But don't tell them that we switched

We'll get in trouble

if they find out

Don't worry

I swear I won't tell anyone

OKEY

Wei

Thank you

Fang

Can I read books with you later?

Sure

(Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev)

Fang

I'll try my best

to save your father

Will Miss Yin

get fired?

Don't worry

The country will be grateful to you

If only you're gone for good

I've finally found you

Don't ever leave me again

But

You're the only one left here

Zhang Ming-hui

You set up an underground group

that provided the students

with subversive books

and incited them to

rebel against the government

You're hereby

sentenced to death

Do you understand me?

Do you?

Mr. Zhang

Execute him

No!

Murderer

The real rat

Murderer

The real whistleblower

Your selfishness

has cost us our lives

Murderer

I just wanted to break them up

Murderer

Run

Run

Get out of here

You can't get away

Wherever you go

you're stuck here

Murderer

I didn't mean it

Not me

It's not my fault

I'm sorry

It's not me

Ignore them

Just ignore them

I didn't mean it

Let me go

You'll just go through it over and over

Again and again

It's not my fault

Have you forgotten

Or are you just afraid?

Have you forgotten

Or are you too afraid to remember?

I remember it now

I've confessed my crime in front of everyone

I'm sorry

For what?

I killed everyone

including you

You made a mistake

but it was not you who killed us

You were just being used

Is it too late now?

As long as someone's alive

there is always hope

But I don't have another chance

Anything dead

you can't bring back to life

It's a shame

We didn't get to live to see freedom

But those who are alive will

The only thing you can do now

is help him get out of here

Someone has to live to remember

how difficult it has been to get freedom

Wei

Throw him in

No one made it

except for him

Give him a couple of days

Shoot him if he doesn't confess

Yes sir

If only I hadn't met you

An underground book club has been busted

with totally six students

and two teachers arrested

The insurgents include

the students

You Sheng-jie

Zhou Xin

Zhang Xu-chang

Huang Wen-xiong

and Li Zhi-hao

The leaders of the club

are the teachers

Yin Cui-han

and Zhang Ming-hui

They're both sentenced to death

The subversive student Wei Zhong-ting

has been put under arrest today

Fang

What are you doing?

Are you sheltering the insurgent?

Fang!

Fang!

Fang!

Whatever's gone is gone

Just let bygones be bygones

Don't listen

Don't recall anything

Leave all the pain in the past

It's easier to forget, isn't it?

No

I don't want to forget

I won't forget anymore

Wei

No

No

Why don't you leave everything here?

I'm getting him out of here

Come over

You go

I'll stay here

Are you kidding me?

I have to stay

I'll stay with you

You need to live to remember this

There is hope if you stay alive

That's what Mr. Zhang told me

Fang!

Wei

Thank you

Fang

Fang

Fang!

It's decided

Execute him if he keeps silent

I think he's dead

It's been days

I'm...

I'm making a confession

Charge me with whatever you want

But I want to live

(The Ones Who Live)

Mr. Zhang

It's been years

I haven't got the courage to do what you asked

Now they're demolishing the school

If I don't go back now

I'll never live up to your hope

(Estate sale)

We have

both animality

and demoniac nature

and also divinity at the same time

We have the desire

for both

individualism and altruism

Wei

Do you know the book that I'm quoting?

The Symbol of Anguish

You know where it is

Find it

There's a letter in it

Give it to someone for me

I will

Zhang Ming-hui

Wei

You have to live

Promise me

You have to stay alive

Live

and one day you'll be free

Mr. Zhang

I have to go

Mr. Zhang

Don't go

Mr. Zhang!

(The Symbol of Anguish)

Mr. Zhang left this for you

(To my narcissus)

(I'll wait for you in our next life)

I'll remember

I'll always remember

(To freedom)

(No memories can be tampered with)

(In this pouring rain they are beneath)

(In the books, your name was erased)

(But I still can't forget your face)

(From beyond the story, gentle steps are sounding)

(At the end of the corridor, the world is collapsing)

(Freedom feels so light at my fingertips)

(Went into the woods, you left it as a gift)

(Wish you could see now the sky's turning blue and clear)

(No memories can be tampered with)

(In this pouring rain they are beneath)

(In the books, your name was erased)

(But I still can't forget your face)

(Freedom feels so light, at my fingertips)

(Went into the woods, you left it as a gift)

(Vaguely I can still hear you whispering)
