1
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,930
Bidding will start at $300,000.

2
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,020
Do I hear $300,000?

3
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:52,220
Thank you.

4
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:54,560
Who will offer $400,000?

5
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,140
I have $400,000.

6
00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:00,310
Who will offer five hundred... $500,000?

7
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:01,850
700,000?

8
00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:04,060
No, we have 700,000.

9
00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:06,640
My goodness, 800,000.

10
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:10,220
Do I have an offer for $1 million?

11
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:13,930
$1 million and advance
on the $1 million. Sir?

12
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,970
Going once.

13
00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:17,600
Going twice.

14
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:23,020
Gone for $1 million to Mr.

15
00:01:23,020 --> 00:01:25,180
Morton's grandson on the right.

16
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,020
Pack the other things
carefully, please. Absolutely.

17
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:32,220
Absolutely.

18
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:33,560
Congratulations, sir.

19
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,770
It's a beautiful collection.

20
00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:37,810
And from what I understand
the most extraordinary woman.

21
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:40,270
She was indeed

22
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:45,680
Stuart (V.O.): My
grandfather said Leon Shojo

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,810
was the most extraordinary
woman he had ever known.

24
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:55,560
Xu Yi was full of life,
bright, beautiful and talented.

25
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,140
She dared to break from the
golden chains of her family's

26
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:00,220
wealth and privilege

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,600
to forge her own path
through painting and poetry.

28
00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:07,310
They met in the 1930s
in Shanghai's golden era,

29
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Grandfather’s said during World War Two,

30
00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:12,600
without her help, he would never

31
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,770
have made it out of occupied China alive.

32
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:18,680
She lived in his heart to the day he died.

33
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,890
Ziyi!

34
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:43,520
Yi-Niang: Ziyi!

35
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640
Where are you, you naughty girl?

36
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:48,520
Get back here this instant.

37
00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:58,060
Yi-Niang.

38
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:01,430
Yi-Niang: Oh, you're a disgrace.

39
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:05,020
Barefoot and in boy's clothing.

40
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:10,220
Who would want to marry a brat like you?

41
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:12,600
Someone who loves me.

42
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:15,060
Don't backchat me, girl!

43
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:18,640
Why your mother and father

44
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,180
allow such nonsense like this is beyond me.

45
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:24,970
But now that I'm second wife,

46
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:28,890
I'm going to put a stop to this
before you embarrass us all.

47
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:31,390
Get to the washbasin.

48
00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:33,430
Clean your filthy feet.

49
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,390
You're going to be late to poetry lesson.

50
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:55,640
Yi-Niang: Lord husband. Lord husband.

51
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,930
Yes. What is it?

52
00:03:57,430 --> 00:03:59,890
That girl of yours is a disgrace.

53
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:02,890
Unlike our darling boy
Fu who never gives me

54
00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:04,430
a moment's trouble.

55
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:07,520
That's my heir.

56
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:10,810
You have to look presentable all the time.

57
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,680
And Confucius say to eat in moderation.

58
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:16,310
Hm?

59
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:19,100
♪ I’m a
butterfly, I’m a butterfly ♪

60
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,810
♪ I’m a butterfly ♪

61
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Daughter.

62
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:26,770
Lord Zhou: I will have quiet.

63
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:29,470
You see, my lord.

64
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:33,220
She is high spirited. I grant you.

65
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:35,470
Yi-Niang: Mark my word, Lord Husband,

66
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:40,520
you must bind her feet, to
curb her wild, boyish ways.

67
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:44,680
Or she'll become unmanageable
and unmarriageable.

68
00:04:46,350 --> 00:04:47,890
Yes, well...

69
00:04:47,890 --> 00:04:49,890
I will consider it.

70
00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:52,560
Now if there's nothing else?

71
00:05:00,470 --> 00:05:02,680
What is she complaining about this time?

72
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,770
Ziyi, who else? That girl is too wild.

73
00:05:06,930 --> 00:05:10,470
She is full of life, but also
good, kind hearted and loyal.

74
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:15,850
Lotus wants to bind
our only daughter's feet.

75
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:18,810
To calm her down.

76
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:21,810
But surely times are changing.

77
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:24,310
I have not decided yet.

78
00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:29,930
Now let's recite

79
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:32,810
Li Bai’s poem from memory.

80
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:37,470
My old
friend bids farewell to me

81
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,470
in the west at Yellow
Crane Tower. Amid March’s

82
00:05:39,470 --> 00:05:41,310
he goes down to Yangzhou.
The distant image of

83
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,350
his lonely sail disappears in the blue sky.

84
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:45,810
And all I see,

85
00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:47,600
is the long river

86
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:51,220
following the edge of sky.

87
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:53,810
Very good there, Mistress Zhou.

88
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:58,720
Now let's start with Meng Haoran poetry.

89
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:04,180
The spring, the...

90
00:06:05,310 --> 00:06:06,470
Spring...

91
00:06:06,470 --> 00:06:08,770
The Spring
dawn I was sleeping sound.

92
00:06:08,770 --> 00:06:12,680
Catching birds...

93
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:15,560
everywhere?

94
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,220
I had enough for today.

95
00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:26,430
Hey!

96
00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:31,430
Stop it!

97
00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:39,640
Mom!

98
00:06:43,930 --> 00:06:45,520
I did... - What is going on here?

99
00:06:46,270 --> 00:06:48,430
Who dared disrupt my peace and quiet?

100
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,020
I didn't do anything.

101
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,600
She just hit me.

102
00:06:52,770 --> 00:06:56,270
Lord Zhou: You struck my son and heir?

103
00:06:56,270 --> 00:06:57,850
Wicket girl.

104
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,720
B-but, Father, I didn't do anything.

105
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,180
He started it.

106
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:03,930
This has gone far enough.

107
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:07,520
You will summon the foot binder.

108
00:07:07,890 --> 00:07:10,430
No, Father, please. No!

109
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:11,640
Lord Zhou: Silence.

110
00:07:12,020 --> 00:07:14,520
A girl must learn her place.

111
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,850
Lady Zhou: Lord husband,
the foot-binder is here.

112
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:33,350
It's not too late.

113
00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:35,470
She brought it on herself.

114
00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:36,930
Please.

115
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,390
Yi-Niang: Stop moving, girl.

116
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,060
Let the foot binding do his bidding.

117
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:51,720
Lady Zhou: Please, please...

118
00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:56,970
Sit still.

119
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,770
Stop.

120
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,890
Art Dealer: This is nice.

121
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:15,520
But this masterpiece is
from the Tang Dynasty

122
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:18,430
depicting man's search for Buddha.

123
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,680
Daughter, you must not
eavesdrop on your father.

124
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:24,270
Oh, no, Mother, I'm trying to see

125
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:25,890
what I could do to thank him.

126
00:08:26,770 --> 00:08:28,430
You are a dutiful daughter, Ziyi.

127
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:29,930
But don't listen long.

128
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:30,970
Art Dealer: ...Superb collection.

129
00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:32,430
All for a mere cost of...

130
00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:35,390
20 silver sycees.

131
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,970
Hmm. Come...

132
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,850
A cup of tea before we talk business.

133
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:17,680
Philistines!

134
00:09:17,810 --> 00:09:19,390
Someone has destroyed our masterpiece.

135
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,890
Everyone in here?

136
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,350
Now!

137
00:09:27,140 --> 00:09:28,220
Fu!

138
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:29,350
Did you do this?

139
00:09:29,470 --> 00:09:30,520
Speak up.

140
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,430
No I... - Take a punishment like a man.

141
00:09:32,430 --> 00:09:33,810
Father... - No!

142
00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:36,220
Fu did not do it.

143
00:09:36,850 --> 00:09:38,520
I did.

144
00:09:39,930 --> 00:09:41,180
Lord Zhou: You did this?

145
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:43,890
Why would you commit such sacrilege?

146
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,850
You said they were seeking the Buddha

147
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,100
here they have found him.

148
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,920
How dare your presume
the...

149
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:11,310
Lord Zhou: You’re right.

150
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:13,060
This is better.

151
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,560
I have underestimated you, daughter.

152
00:10:25,060 --> 00:10:29,850
Ziyi (V.O.): Art became the air
I breathed and gave me a voice.

153
00:10:29,850 --> 00:10:32,560
A woman can only dream of having.

154
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,720
Do you think Father will
like his birthday present?

155
00:10:43,470 --> 00:10:45,270
It’s beautiful, how could you not?

156
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:15,020
Father, here's
my birthday gift for you.

157
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:22,220
Lord Zhou: Oh, my goodness.

158
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,680
Daughter is...

159
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:27,890
this a new technique?

160
00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:31,600
It's meant to find the
beauty in life's uncertainties.

161
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:36,770
Very interesting.

162
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:40,270
I like it.

163
00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:41,680
I like it.

164
00:11:42,770 --> 00:11:43,770
Oh, thank you, Father.

165
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:47,850
Don't think that you're going

166
00:11:47,850 --> 00:11:50,430
to get any special treatment
here in the big city, girl.

167
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:53,220
Girl, you're nothing
more than an uneducated

168
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:55,520
country bumpkin.

169
00:11:56,850 --> 00:11:59,430
You must mean an educated country bumpkin.

170
00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:02,640
But with your kind encouragement,

171
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,970
not for long.

172
00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:22,310
Mr. Jiang
Lord Zhou, welcome, welcome.

173
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,890
Welcome...

174
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,770
Your fame as the finest art

175
00:12:29,770 --> 00:12:32,890
teacher in China precedes you, Mr. Jiang.

176
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,850
You do me too

177
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:36,720
great an honor, Lord Zhou.

178
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:40,890
Of course, I take very
few students each year,

179
00:12:41,770 --> 00:12:43,890
but I would be happy

180
00:12:44,350 --> 00:12:48,430
to review your son's
portfolio to see if he's ready.

181
00:12:49,270 --> 00:12:51,600
Lord Zhou: It is not my son.

182
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,560
I wish you to teach.

183
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,930
It is my daughter.

184
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,810
Uh, I'm sorry, my Lord.

185
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:06,930
I teach professional artists only.

186
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:09,520
No dabblers,

187
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:12,180
no females.

188
00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:14,640
Lord Zhou: Respectfully, Mr.

189
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,310
Jang, it is my intention

190
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,520
that my daughter pursue art professionally.

191
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:22,770
If you allow my frankness,

192
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:26,310
she has the aptitude for it.

193
00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:30,100
Be that as it may,

194
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:32,930
it just isn't done.

195
00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:38,430
Honorable Master Jiang,

196
00:13:39,140 --> 00:13:42,060
you said you only take student
whose work was good enough.

197
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:43,850
Is it?

198
00:13:44,350 --> 00:13:45,520
Well,

199
00:13:53,970 --> 00:13:56,720
Young lady, this is really your work?

200
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:01,220
On my honor...

201
00:14:01,970 --> 00:14:04,060
It is all hers.

202
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,020
Are you a hard worker?

203
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,640
Will you take my advice without any

204
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,890
girlish nonsense?

205
00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:12,720
No flirting.

206
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:14,470
Only art.

207
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,930
Art and more art.

208
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,600
Oh, yes, master Jiang.
Only art, art, and more art.

209
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,520
And I will work harder than
any of your other students.

210
00:14:22,970 --> 00:14:24,720
You will not be sorry, Master Jiang.

211
00:14:28,270 --> 00:14:29,680
I'm sorry already.

212
00:14:31,890 --> 00:14:33,770
Come I will show you

213
00:14:33,770 --> 00:14:35,180
the proper way to do it.

214
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:40,100
But you must also study poetry.

215
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Hey, meet my daughter, Wei.

216
00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:45,560
She can keep an eye on you.

217
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,720
Ziyi (V.O.): Everything
was thrilling and new.

218
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:53,470
My new studies, new ideas,

219
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:56,140
new best friend Jiang Bi Wei.

220
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,600
The whole world was alive with possibility

221
00:14:59,850 --> 00:15:02,430
and I knew an endless
shining future lay ahead.

222
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:06,970
If I was willing to work
hard and strive for it.

223
00:15:13,810 --> 00:15:15,100
Art became

224
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:18,100
that special language that
only my father and I shared.

225
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:21,020
We were cut from the same canvas he and I

226
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
painted by the same brush.

227
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,180
Art filled every waking hour

228
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:29,720
and gave me my lust for life.

229
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:32,770
In my grateful heart,

230
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:37,680
I thanked my parents every
day for the priceless gift of art

231
00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:40,350
and freedom they gave me.

232
00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:17,970
Mr Jiang: This line... This is also good.

233
00:16:22,390 --> 00:16:24,600
Yes, you are ready.

234
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:39,350
Please, Guan Yin,

235
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,020
a man of ambition like myself
must have a glamorous wife.

236
00:16:44,060 --> 00:16:45,270
Bring her to me.

237
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:46,430
I beg you.

238
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:51,100
Mr. Jiang: Hey, hey,
hey, boys. Stop gawping.

239
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:53,430
We mustn’t keep Mr. Song waiting.

240
00:16:58,770 --> 00:17:01,640
His fine fan shop caters to the wealthiest,

241
00:17:01,890 --> 00:17:04,470
most influential clients in the city.

242
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:07,220
Many, a fine artistic career

243
00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:10,180
has started with fan
painting for the nobility.

244
00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:13,310
So do your best to impress him.

245
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:18,560
Mr. Song: Oh, Master Jiang.

246
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,060
Welcome. Welcome.

247
00:17:20,350 --> 00:17:21,970
To my humble shop.

248
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,770
Prosperous as ever Mr. Song.

249
00:17:24,930 --> 00:17:28,310
Mr. Song: I get by, I get
by. Thank you, uh... Mr. Jiang.

250
00:17:28,770 --> 00:17:30,310
With no small thanks.

251
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,220
Every year you bring
your finest students here.

252
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:37,470
And every year their
exquisite fans sell like...

253
00:17:37,470 --> 00:17:39,220
Soup dumplings.

254
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,220
So what have you brought me today?

255
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:46,220
Yeah, please.

256
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:54,310
Oh, no, no, too garish here.

257
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:58,470
A fan must be visible from
a distance, but tastefully.

258
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,810
Not vulgar.

259
00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:14,600
What's this? A female artist?

260
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:17,470
Oh, no.

261
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:19,430
What would my clients say?

262
00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:24,350
They want top ranked male artist.

263
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:26,770
Not a dilettante.

264
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:29,270
I can assure you. (Speaking
Chinese) Boss Song.

265
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:31,680
Her work is first rate.

266
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Master Jiang, I know I'm fashion forward,

267
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,770
but I'm not revolutionary.

268
00:18:37,810 --> 00:18:40,180
These new women are too much for me.

269
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:43,560
Kind, sir.

270
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:49,720
As a token of my appreciation

271
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,890
for this opportunity in
this fine establishment.

272
00:18:53,850 --> 00:18:56,350
I would humbly waive
my share of revenues for

273
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:58,560
a month?

274
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Two months.

275
00:19:01,470 --> 00:19:02,770
Two months it is!

276
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,310
But if they don't sell in
two weeks, out you go.

277
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,140
Okay. I'll make sure it sells.

278
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,890
Nice.

279
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:16,350
Thank you, thank you.

280
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,020
Mr. Song
Mrs these have just arrived.

281
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:27,220
Let me show you some of these first.

282
00:19:27,220 --> 00:19:28,600
The painting is incredible.

283
00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:30,720
Oh why are they not selling?

284
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:31,930
I only have two days left.

285
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:33,220
I don't know.

286
00:19:33,390 --> 00:19:34,470
They match perfectly with what

287
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:36,190
the wealthy ladies are wearing this season.

288
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:39,100
Don't worry. I'll make sure
my husband buys me one.

289
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:40,220
He likes your work.

290
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,850
Xu Beijong likes my work?

291
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:47,720
I mean, that means a lot
because he's a successful artist.

292
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,270
Oh, look that lady picked
up one of your fans!

293
00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:55,680
Lady Xu: Aiyo Boss Song! This is exquisite.

294
00:19:55,850 --> 00:19:57,930
Is it by one of your top ranked artists?

295
00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:59,810
I only want the best.

296
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,310
Oh, yes, yes, Lady Xu, she is actually...

297
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:04,520
She?!

298
00:20:04,930 --> 00:20:06,640
I told you, I only buy the best.

299
00:20:07,390 --> 00:20:09,150
I'm never going to
make a sale at this rate.

300
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,470
Lady Xu: I don't want a woman's work.

301
00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:13,220
Do something.

302
00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:19,810
Lady Xu...

303
00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:24,970
You have excellent taste.

304
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:28,770
Did you know that this
particular design is much

305
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:31,390
sought after in Shanghai's French Quarter?

306
00:20:32,930 --> 00:20:35,850
You do know that Paris is the
fashion capital of the world.

307
00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:37,220
Oui...

308
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:38,720
Lady Xu (Speaking Chinese): Yes it’s true.

309
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,140
I buy all my couture dresses from Paris.

310
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,600
I can tell, but unfortunately,
this particular design

311
00:20:46,060 --> 00:20:48,970
is already spoken for by
Shanghai's top official’s wife.

312
00:20:50,430 --> 00:20:52,270
So to make up for your

313
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:57,180
unfortunate event, I can offer you two fans

314
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:59,720
from the same artist for the price of one.

315
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:02,600
Two for the price of one.

316
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,560
That's too good to pass up. I'll take them.

317
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:06,770
No, no, I saw them first.

318
00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:09,020
I'll take two to bring back to New York.

319
00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:16,350
Oh the pompous Lady Tsu will
envy my two new beautiful fans.

320
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:18,680
I'm buying four.

321
00:21:18,930 --> 00:21:21,850
Wait can I show this off at
the governor's gala next week?

322
00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:25,680
Please tell all of your friends
and this offer is only good for

323
00:21:25,810 --> 00:21:26,930
one week.

324
00:21:26,930 --> 00:21:28,060
Two.

325
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,930
Two weeks it is.

326
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,060
He was sold out in one day.

327
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:46,930
You know, I'm so excited!
But you know, my real dream

328
00:21:46,930 --> 00:21:50,180
is to have my art at
museums, not just in fan shops.

329
00:21:50,180 --> 00:21:52,140
One step at a time, Ziyi.

330
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,220
Hey there, beautiful artist girl.

331
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:56,970
Come I have, I have
a lovely trinket for you.

332
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Marry me.

333
00:22:02,350 --> 00:22:04,640
You can paint my wares.
It will make a fortune!

334
00:22:05,850 --> 00:22:07,930
No wash basins or piss pots for my girl!

335
00:22:07,930 --> 00:22:10,390
She's headed straight
from the national museum.

336
00:22:11,470 --> 00:22:12,930
You'll regret shunning me.

337
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,520
I'll be someone someday! Then you’ll pay!

338
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:29,890
Shanghai nigh, Shanghai night ♪

339
00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:33,310
♪ You’re a city that never sleeps ♪

340
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:35,810
May not be the Governor's

341
00:22:35,810 --> 00:22:38,060
Ball yet, but it's pretty grand, right?

342
00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:41,220
Like you said, one step at a time.

343
00:22:45,270 --> 00:22:46,680
Oh my god are those

344
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,640
Hollywood movie star Douglas
Fairbanks and Mary Pickford?

345
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,640
Wasn’t he so dreamy in Robin Hood.

346
00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:54,020
I loved her in Little Annie Rooney.

347
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:55,560
She was so brave.

348
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,100
I'd kill for her dress.

349
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,770
Oh, I’d kill for a part
in one of their movies.

350
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,350
Don't you love ballroom dancing?

351
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:05,850
It's all the rage in America and Paris.

352
00:23:07,390 --> 00:23:10,060
It's awfully daring.
Their bodies are touching.

353
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Exactly.

354
00:23:14,430 --> 00:23:15,930
But it's also so elegant,

355
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:18,850
so refined, like they're
floating on moonbeams.

356
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:20,100
Well, I think.

357
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:21,270
I think I dreamt about this before.

358
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:23,140
I wonder if I remember the steps.

359
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:24,770
I think it was one...

360
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:27,850
Oh, oh, darlings, come, come.

361
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,060
Oh, kiss, kiss, lovely.

362
00:23:33,060 --> 00:23:34,180
Love the hair.

363
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,850
Darlings I’m so sorry.

364
00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:38,430
You-you just missed Charlie Chaplin.

365
00:23:38,890 --> 00:23:43,720
But please let me introduce
the Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

366
00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:46,680
And America's sweetheart, Mary Pickford.

367
00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:49,220
God, I love Shanghai!

368
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:50,850
Crossroads of the world.

369
00:23:51,270 --> 00:23:55,970
These three lovely nymphs are
the leading lights of Shanghai.

370
00:23:56,430 --> 00:23:59,850
But Reginald, who are
these lovely ladies truly?

371
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:04,720
We’re the living end. The
“W, X, Z Alphabet Girls.”

372
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,680
Wei, Xiaoman, and Ziyi.

373
00:24:06,890 --> 00:24:08,390
Aren't you missing the Y?

374
00:24:09,020 --> 00:24:12,560
Well, madam, as artists,
we are forever trying to solve

375
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,810
the eternal “why’s” of the universe.

376
00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:19,020
Touche! Beautiful and witty.

377
00:24:26,890 --> 00:24:28,640
There goes our leading lady.

378
00:24:29,310 --> 00:24:31,140
It’s the studious ones
you have to watch out for.

379
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,770
Let's get a drink.

380
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:43,100
The delicacy of your
line work is superb, Xiaoman.

381
00:24:43,770 --> 00:24:46,430
Oh, and the depth and nuance

382
00:24:46,430 --> 00:24:49,810
of your visual and poetic
coupling is superb, Ziyi.

383
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,970
Well, I hope the judges think so, too.

384
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,060
And the poem is wonderful.

385
00:24:59,470 --> 00:25:03,310
It references tradition,
but from a fresh perspective.

386
00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:05,140
Just what I was going for.

387
00:25:05,850 --> 00:25:08,270
Quite an astute observation, Miss...

388
00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:10,140
Lu Xiaoman.

389
00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:16,520
I never thought I'd see
Xiaoman with another guy,

390
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:19,180
especially after her unhappy marriage.

391
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,140
It is your privilege
to be considered by Mr.

392
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:34,060
Morton and myself for
this international exhibition,

393
00:25:34,060 --> 00:25:36,640
which will tour the
United States and Canada.

394
00:25:37,180 --> 00:25:38,270
Today,

395
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:41,970
we will search for the top five
finest young artists in China.

396
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:45,180
They must not only be
talented beyond their peers,

397
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:48,350
but knowledgeable about the
great art from around the world.

398
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:54,600
Where’s the artist?

399
00:25:59,930 --> 00:26:01,430
I am the artist.

400
00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:02,930
Zhou Lianxia.

401
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,180
What is the meaning of this?

402
00:26:07,270 --> 00:26:08,470
Yes, sir. Yes, sir...

403
00:26:08,850 --> 00:26:11,270
How dare you allow a
woman into this exhibit?

404
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,560
We do not show embroidery or hats.

405
00:26:13,970 --> 00:26:16,430
Do you want to make us the
laughing stock of the art world?

406
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,720
Honorable sirs,

407
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,930
you said you would pick the
five finest artists in China,

408
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,560
people who are talented and
are knowledgeable about world art.

409
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,140
I know your word is sacred, but

410
00:26:31,470 --> 00:26:33,100
allow me to demonstrate

411
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:34,560
my knowledge of world art.

412
00:26:43,850 --> 00:26:45,520
She’s reenacting The Scream.

413
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:48,350
Very charming.

414
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:49,600
Edvard Munch.

415
00:26:50,970 --> 00:26:52,180
Okay, one second.

416
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,640
Get down.

417
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:56,890
Come on, I need your help.

418
00:26:58,060 --> 00:26:59,180
Don't be shy.

419
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:00,350
You'll love it.

420
00:27:03,930 --> 00:27:05,220
I got it. The kiss.

421
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:07,720
Gustav Klimt.

422
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,640
One more.

423
00:27:11,220 --> 00:27:12,350
Come on, you guys.

424
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:13,720
I need all of you.

425
00:27:14,970 --> 00:27:16,640
I need this and this.

426
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:18,970
I'm going to put it right here.

427
00:27:19,970 --> 00:27:21,180
Okay...

428
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,770
And...

429
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:25,310
Le Dejeuner Sur L’Herbe!

430
00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:28,430
And quite as shocking
as many intended it to be.

431
00:27:28,430 --> 00:27:29,520
Brilliant,

432
00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:31,140
brilliant.

433
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:33,600
What a grasp of art history! Come now.

434
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,680
Honorable sir...

435
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,200
You said... we said we wanted the most

436
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,270
brilliant and original
artists China has to offer.

437
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:41,740
After that display can there be any doubt?

438
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,270
Lady Zhou (Speaking Chinese): Ziyi, look!

439
00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:48,270
You got a letter and package from Canada?

440
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:51,470
I don't think I know anyone there.

441
00:27:51,470 --> 00:27:53,310
But let me take the letter.

442
00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:54,640
You wanna open package? - Sure.

443
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,720
Morton (V.O.): Dear Miss
Zhou, it is with great pleasure

444
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,520
that I inform you that
you have won first prize

445
00:28:05,060 --> 00:28:07,850
in the International
Exhibition touring the U.S.

446
00:28:07,850 --> 00:28:09,100
and Canada.

447
00:28:10,430 --> 00:28:12,810
My clever Ziyi won first place.

448
00:28:13,850 --> 00:28:15,770
I can't believe I received this honor.

449
00:28:16,850 --> 00:28:18,970
Come, your father will be beside himself.

450
00:28:22,970 --> 00:28:26,020
You know, after that
ridiculous display of male ego

451
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:27,520
at the competition,

452
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,840
it's clear that women need
to take a stand for themselves.

453
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:31,770
That's why I invited you here.

454
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Jade!

455
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,430
This is Zhou Lianxia, who won
the international exhibition.

456
00:28:42,970 --> 00:28:45,680
Jade is on the executive
board of this new group,

457
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,270
a China Woman's Painting
and Calligraphy Association.

458
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:50,680
We all can be co-founders.

459
00:28:51,810 --> 00:28:53,520
I mean, please call me Ziyi.

460
00:28:54,430 --> 00:28:57,390
It's an honor to be with
so many women here.

461
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Ladies, let's get the
meeting started, shall we?

462
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,760
Oh, Feng Wefeng,
our president's about to start.

463
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:08,350
Wellcome, everyone.

464
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,770
We all know the problems
women artists are facing nowadays.

465
00:29:11,770 --> 00:29:16,220
So we are here to find ways
to create more opportunities

466
00:29:16,220 --> 00:29:17,310
for us all.

467
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,270
Now, any suggestions

468
00:29:19,270 --> 00:29:21,600
on how we can get our
work into more exhibitions?

469
00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:26,060
We can ask the galleries
to host our exhibition.

470
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,560
We have tried this, but
we can keep on trying

471
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:33,810
and any other new ideas?

472
00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:36,810
Well, my uncle
plays mahjong with a collector

473
00:29:36,810 --> 00:29:38,470
so I can introduce us.

474
00:29:39,140 --> 00:29:41,520
It's very interesting. I like that.

475
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,270
Umm, any other new ideas?

476
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:57,220
Why not just hold our own exhibition?

477
00:30:01,310 --> 00:30:02,640
Well, that's easy for you to say.

478
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,060
You come from money. Not all of us do.

479
00:30:06,020 --> 00:30:07,640
How can we afford all of this?

480
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:11,560
We could raise our money.

481
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:14,430
If we don't take

482
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,390
a stand for ourselves, no
one will take us seriously.

483
00:30:17,970 --> 00:30:19,060
The time is now.

484
00:30:19,060 --> 00:30:20,270
We have to do something.

485
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,890
Collectors will have to
take us more seriously.

486
00:30:24,850 --> 00:30:27,060
I will all agreed to explore this?

487
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,470
Good. Let's start planning.

488
00:30:33,140 --> 00:30:35,180
At last, a girls night!

489
00:30:35,890 --> 00:30:37,770
Beihong’s been painting nonstop and Xiaoman

490
00:30:37,770 --> 00:30:40,220
is so smitten with Zhimo I
can't drag her out anymore.

491
00:30:40,350 --> 00:30:41,470
What's wrong with you guys?

492
00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:43,470
We can all be muses, Wei. Okay?

493
00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:44,810
Look, I'm trying to get my poem

494
00:30:44,810 --> 00:30:47,060
into the prestigious Shun Bao
News and we have the galleries.

495
00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:49,520
Yes, yes. Kudos to you
and all that. But we can't-

496
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,100
You can't go completely
blue stocking on me.

497
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:55,350
A girl's got to tear it up now
and then. Tonight we dance.

498
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:58,560
I did design your
shoes for this occasion...

499
00:31:03,850 --> 00:31:05,680
But you know, um...

500
00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:07,140
I-I'm hoping to

501
00:31:07,140 --> 00:31:09,020
create a new path for fashionistas.

502
00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:11,060
I think this will help.

503
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:13,680
Oh, maybe the fashion
pages will open up story on us.

504
00:31:13,850 --> 00:31:14,970
I don't know.

505
00:31:14,970 --> 00:31:16,680
I mean, people like to
think that female artists

506
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,600
will settle down for any
guy and create a family,

507
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,060
the first chance they get
so... - Uh, cause, cause Ziyi!

508
00:31:22,350 --> 00:31:24,140
Don’t you want to just
attract the attention

509
00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:25,560
of just one man in particular?

510
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:28,560
No, I-I don't have time for men. Okay?

511
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,470
Men do have their uses, you know.

512
00:31:33,270 --> 00:31:35,430
Oh, my god, Wei, you're hopeless.

513
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,390
I watched you sashaying around in your

514
00:32:06,810 --> 00:32:10,930
scandalous, little dress looking
for a bit of action. Are you?

515
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:12,850
Umm, I’m sorry. - Well, I’m your man.

516
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:14,680
But for your information, this is.

517
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,970
This is a fashion statement,

518
00:32:15,970 --> 00:32:18,560
not an invitation to a lecherous bore.

519
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,470
Oh don't try acting coy now.

520
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:24,390
All you taxi girls are alike.

521
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:28,140
Some may accuse me of having big head,

522
00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:30,020
but I always get my way.

523
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:33,100
I'm sorry, but not when you
think with your little head.

524
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:34,220
Okay?

525
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:37,520
I'll show you, little...

526
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,470
Let go of... Let go!

527
00:32:39,770 --> 00:32:41,770
Stop, stop, stop.

528
00:32:41,770 --> 00:32:44,100
All you taxi girls are alike!

529
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:45,720
Stop...

530
00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:51,430
Now you'll get what's coming.

531
00:33:02,430 --> 00:33:03,720
Are you okay?

532
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,180
What did I miss?

533
00:33:52,390 --> 00:33:55,470
So I guess when you say
that you have no time for men,

534
00:33:55,470 --> 00:33:58,100
you meant you work fast, right?

535
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:00,390
We...

536
00:34:02,470 --> 00:34:05,600
I didn’t mean to. It’s
just I couldn’t even stop it.

537
00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:09,470
He was like lightning
laced with butterflies.

538
00:34:10,930 --> 00:34:12,720
Our hearts linked to the single beat

539
00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:16,180
a stranger's whose face was
more familiar than my own.

540
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,390
I mean, it was like...

541
00:34:17,390 --> 00:34:19,430
Yin and yang and human form.

542
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,020
You tease, but that's exactly it.

543
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,430
I mean, it was a vast
and still timelessness,

544
00:34:29,470 --> 00:34:31,220
as if we shared all of eternity

545
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:33,560
in an instant.

546
00:35:13,220 --> 00:35:14,930
Love makes anything possible.

547
00:35:15,850 --> 00:35:17,270
My golden butterfly.

548
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:43,680
Ziyi (V.O.): No one
passes our bamboo hedge.

549
00:35:44,060 --> 00:35:46,640
Save only the dragonflies and butterflies.

550
00:35:46,930 --> 00:35:48,810
Flitting about...

551
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,930
Honorable father.

552
00:36:04,970 --> 00:36:07,390
I want to talk about

553
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:10,310
marriage.

554
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,220
What perfect timing stepdaughter.

555
00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:16,770
Your father and I were
just discussing your future.

556
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,520
Despite your many shortcomings,
I have arranged the most

557
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,640
marriage between you and
my most esteemed cousin,

558
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,390
Mr. Du Long.

559
00:36:30,180 --> 00:36:31,860
Lady Zhou: No, nothing’s decided yet Ziyi?

560
00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:33,600
He'll be here shortly.

561
00:36:34,470 --> 00:36:36,220
It was all take a turn in the garden.

562
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,640
It's a lovely day.

563
00:36:42,970 --> 00:36:47,140
So I'm... Do you have a favorite artist?

564
00:36:47,930 --> 00:36:51,350
Artists... Art it's a waste of time.

565
00:36:51,350 --> 00:36:53,220
The world is all about money.

566
00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:55,810
And your dowry will bring me a tidy sum.

567
00:37:01,770 --> 00:37:03,890
I'm sure my gracious stepmother

568
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:07,430
told you that I'm a
classically trained artist.

569
00:37:07,930 --> 00:37:10,100
She also told me you'll
be giving all that up

570
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:12,390
the day we marry. No wife of mine

571
00:37:12,390 --> 00:37:14,560
is going to parade
herself in public like that.

572
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:18,470
Yi-Niang: Don't they
make a charming couple.

573
00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:22,060
Looks aren't everything.

574
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:26,470
He's an ignorant tyrant. Okay.

575
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,220
After all the time that I took to find you

576
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,850
an eligible bachelor.

577
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:34,310
- Oh, you ungrateful little...
- Enough, Lotus!

578
00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:38,720
Mind your tongue. I'm first wife, not you.

579
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,140
He's not right for her.

580
00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:42,850
Ziyi, we will discuss
this with your father.

581
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:47,390
This the time they take
to find the right part.

582
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:50,100
No, father, please.

583
00:37:50,890 --> 00:37:52,020
Please...

584
00:37:53,310 --> 00:37:54,720
Don't make me marry that man.

585
00:37:57,430 --> 00:38:00,850
Strangling a woman’s creativity
is worse than binding her feet.

586
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,810
Women yearn to touch
the divine, just as men do.

587
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:15,520
Forbidding your art

588
00:38:17,140 --> 00:38:18,890
would be like

589
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,270
tearing the wings of a butterfly.

590
00:38:33,970 --> 00:38:35,890
Thank you. Thank you father.

591
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,220
There’s this book.

592
00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:45,020
There's a handsome man I’m smitten by.

593
00:38:46,810 --> 00:38:48,600
Yi-Niang: What?

594
00:38:49,470 --> 00:38:51,930
What have you been doing
behind our backs, you nasty girl?

595
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:54,220
Nothing. Okay.

596
00:38:55,060 --> 00:38:57,560
He's an honorable man from a fine family.

597
00:38:58,390 --> 00:39:00,430
Yi-Niang: He must be totally inappropriate.

598
00:39:02,140 --> 00:39:03,600
I've asked him to come here

599
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,890
so you can see for yourself.

600
00:39:05,850 --> 00:39:07,310
Lady Zhou: We know nothing of the boy.

601
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:08,680
And it's not your place to say.

602
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:11,970
He will drag this family into the gutter

603
00:39:11,970 --> 00:39:13,310
with her wild ways.

604
00:39:24,140 --> 00:39:25,520
Too handsome.

605
00:39:26,220 --> 00:39:28,470
Must be penniless Fortune hunter.

606
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,720
Come in.

607
00:39:57,390 --> 00:39:58,850
My silver tongue lover,

608
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:01,140
how did you convince my my dad to say yes?

609
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,220
You doubt my natural charms.

610
00:40:07,850 --> 00:40:09,100
Well, I...

611
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:11,680
I did have to promise
to take a job at the Postal

612
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,890
and Communications Bureau.

613
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,640
Until I can support you
with my photography.

614
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,680
Of course.

615
00:40:17,020 --> 00:40:19,310
No, I'm so sorry,

616
00:40:19,310 --> 00:40:20,520
Wanping.

617
00:40:20,850 --> 00:40:23,100
Do you mind at all? - No, darling.

618
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,180
It's actually a prestigious post
and a very small price to pay

619
00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:28,560
for eternal happiness.

620
00:40:29,020 --> 00:40:31,390
Now, enough of these formal shots,

621
00:40:33,180 --> 00:40:34,390
let’s have some fun.

622
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,470
Now, we are wed...

623
00:40:43,470 --> 00:40:45,020
Oh, it's beautiful Wanping.

624
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:48,600
“Meet, or part.”

625
00:40:48,930 --> 00:40:50,770
“Live or die.”

626
00:40:52,810 --> 00:40:54,020
We've made an oath.

627
00:40:54,430 --> 00:40:55,770
You and I.

628
00:40:57,140 --> 00:40:58,220
Give me your hand.

629
00:40:58,890 --> 00:41:00,140
For I to hold.

630
00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:03,600
And live with me till we grow old.

631
00:41:05,970 --> 00:41:07,310
Only if you can catch me.

632
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,930
How forceful your
strokes are, husband.

633
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,770
How exquisite
your curves are, wife.

634
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,640
Hmm all I want to do to you,

635
00:41:40,890 --> 00:41:43,310
is what Spring does to the cherry blossom.

636
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,930
What's all this fuss about?

637
00:42:14,060 --> 00:42:16,100
Oh, look, that's the honeymoon booklet.

638
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:17,470
I want to see it.

639
00:42:28,470 --> 00:42:29,640
Ziyi!

640
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,060
Oh darling little...

641
00:42:32,310 --> 00:42:33,720
You look radiant.

642
00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:35,520
I told you, men have their uses.

643
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:38,390
Butterflies fly into love with love.

644
00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:40,850
Oh no, don't give us
mushy poetry. We want all the

645
00:42:40,850 --> 00:42:43,810
thrilling details. What’s
Wanping like in bed.

646
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:45,850
Wei, give the poor girl some privacy.

647
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,600
Not everyone is as public
with their affairs like you.

648
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,770
Or you and your darling
Zhimo are. Privacy? Pufff...

649
00:42:54,060 --> 00:42:56,640
This book of photos and poems
you and Wanping published

650
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,930
is pretty racy.

651
00:42:58,850 --> 00:43:02,680
It’s not. It’s... It's refined, right?

652
00:43:03,850 --> 00:43:06,180
I mean, look, Wanping
and I, we each wrote poems.

653
00:43:06,180 --> 00:43:07,430
But he took the photos.

654
00:43:08,310 --> 00:43:10,270
I think the butterfly and dragonfly couplet

655
00:43:10,270 --> 00:43:11,350
was lovely.

656
00:43:11,350 --> 00:43:14,470
Well, well, it's selling like, bao buns.

657
00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:16,720
You even made the Society News headlines.

658
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,180
Wedding of the year.

659
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,160
They didn’t say that about my wedding.

660
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,180
Well, I mean, that's because
you secretly eloped in Paris

661
00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:25,270
with Xu Beihong.

662
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,220
More like the scandal of the year.

663
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,430
Your parents even told everyone died.

664
00:43:29,970 --> 00:43:32,020
All right, all right. That's
ancient history now.

665
00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:34,180
No need to be rude or
I’ll ask your darling Zhimo

666
00:43:34,180 --> 00:43:35,640
how well he knows Pearl Buck!

667
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:39,270
I'm only kidding. Nobody
believes that gossip.

668
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,680
That you're busy

669
00:43:40,850 --> 00:43:43,560
whispering about my husband's
young, sexy art students.

670
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:45,680
If he wants two wives I’d kill him.

671
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:51,180
“A spray of red apricot blossoms
peeps out from the wall...”

672
00:43:54,220 --> 00:43:56,140
Never mind! Let's get some champagne

673
00:43:56,140 --> 00:43:59,720
to drown out sorrows I mean
celebrate the happy couple.

674
00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:01,890
But I still want all the juicy details.

675
00:44:03,140 --> 00:44:04,470
No! Ziyi: You sure?

676
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:09,810
Ziyi (V.O.): The good rain

677
00:44:09,810 --> 00:44:11,520
knows it’s season.

678
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:15,520
When spring arrives, it brings new life.

679
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:37,430
What you're working on?

680
00:44:39,770 --> 00:44:41,850
Another article that no one will buy.

681
00:44:44,270 --> 00:44:46,310
I mean, you have no
problems getting published.

682
00:44:50,310 --> 00:44:51,560
Does my pen not work

683
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,680
as well as yours?

684
00:44:54,140 --> 00:44:55,270
Even better.

685
00:44:56,060 --> 00:44:57,220
But I...

686
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,560
have other mhmm...

687
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,930
equipment that society values more.

688
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,020
Oh, yes, you do.

689
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:12,390
Someday...

690
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,310
the whole world will see you as I do.

691
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:30,680
I think we artists and poets
are a species unto ourselves.

692
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,930
You got that right.

693
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:34,180
Hey!

694
00:45:34,930 --> 00:45:37,720
And our work, a unique
expression of an artist’s soul.

695
00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:42,770
Except for Dai-Chien. He
just copies everyone else.

696
00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:46,100
You mock me now but wait and see.

697
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:48,310
My art will eclipse all you peons.

698
00:45:49,430 --> 00:45:51,390
I had a vision about it when I was a monk.

699
00:45:52,810 --> 00:45:54,930
Dai-Chien have I seen you before?

700
00:45:56,770 --> 00:45:59,140
Yes, when I was at the
temple when I was 14.

701
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:03,180
You said I was destined for greatness.

702
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:06,100
Dai-Chien: Oh, that'll be $100, please.

703
00:46:06,770 --> 00:46:09,720
Ziyi there is
something in the caterpillar

704
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,640
that tells you it's
going to be a butterfly.

705
00:46:15,350 --> 00:46:18,350
But you also said I would
experience great sorrow.

706
00:46:19,930 --> 00:46:22,060
Okay. A $50 discount.

707
00:46:24,060 --> 00:46:25,660
Darling what did the owner say just now?

708
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:28,310
Well, he said, because we're so famous,

709
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,360
he wants to pay us to
promote his restaurant.

710
00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:34,430
Oh, but I told him only if he
could give me a crystal belly

711
00:46:34,430 --> 00:46:37,020
so everyone could see
how wonderful his food is.

712
00:46:37,020 --> 00:46:39,140
Yes, yes, yes! Cheers to that.

713
00:46:39,140 --> 00:46:40,560
And I will drink to that.

714
00:46:43,140 --> 00:46:45,890
Xu Beihong: Our new cultural
movement has to throw off

715
00:46:45,890 --> 00:46:49,470
the chains of the old ways,
especially in times of war.

716
00:46:49,810 --> 00:46:51,640
It's good to question things you've taken

717
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,020
for granted for too long.

718
00:46:53,470 --> 00:46:56,970
The hardest thing in life to
learn is which bridge to cross

719
00:46:57,430 --> 00:46:59,470
and which to bed.

720
00:47:00,970 --> 00:47:02,310
Here, here Bertrand.

721
00:47:02,930 --> 00:47:05,680
I prefer to find my poetry on the street

722
00:47:06,060 --> 00:47:07,180
than in the classroom.

723
00:47:07,810 --> 00:47:10,720
The traditional ways are too stifling.

724
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:11,850
Yes!

725
00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:14,310
I don't think you find poetry, brother.

726
00:47:15,140 --> 00:47:16,430
I think it finds you.

727
00:47:17,350 --> 00:47:18,520
Cheers to that!

728
00:47:19,180 --> 00:47:21,100
No. Poetry rules my heart.

729
00:47:21,220 --> 00:47:22,930
But there are things

730
00:47:22,930 --> 00:47:26,430
that I can say with color
and ink that no words can.

731
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:29,060
Sometimes as I paint,

732
00:47:29,310 --> 00:47:31,930
I can feel part of myself
going back thousands of years

733
00:47:31,930 --> 00:47:34,390
to touch the artists who went before me.

734
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:35,890
One feeds the eye.

735
00:47:36,310 --> 00:47:37,430
One feeds the ear.

736
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,930
They both feed the soul.

737
00:47:44,470 --> 00:47:46,020
Cheers. - Cheers.

738
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:48,720
So uh... Zhimo.

739
00:47:49,810 --> 00:47:51,210
You’ve got good connections, right?

740
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,020
But why isn't the government doing more

741
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:54,970
to stop the Japanese
invasion? I'm not sure.

742
00:47:55,390 --> 00:47:56,770
How should I know?

743
00:47:56,770 --> 00:47:58,350
I'm a poet, not a politician.

744
00:47:59,270 --> 00:48:01,470
But I am traveling to the capital tomorrow.

745
00:48:01,930 --> 00:48:03,470
I'll keep my ears open.

746
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,020
Appreciate it. - Cheers.

747
00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:08,470
Have you read the Shun Bao News?

748
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,100
Okay. If I-I swear...

749
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:14,270
If I read one more article
that's ill informed about

750
00:48:14,270 --> 00:48:16,060
Chinese literature, I’m...

751
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:18,580
I'm going to take out an ad in protest.

752
00:48:18,850 --> 00:48:20,850
Have they not heard of Lu Xun before?

753
00:48:21,060 --> 00:48:22,350
Or your work?

754
00:48:22,850 --> 00:48:26,430
Modesty stops me from
publishing my own work. But...

755
00:48:26,890 --> 00:48:28,720
Seriously who picks the writers?

756
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,020
I-I don't get it.

757
00:48:31,310 --> 00:48:34,060
I do. Forgive my intrusion,

758
00:48:34,060 --> 00:48:36,100
but I couldn't help but overhearing you.

759
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,520
I'm Norwood Allman.

760
00:48:39,020 --> 00:48:42,560
Editor-in-Chief of the
much maligned Shun Pao.

761
00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,180
Oh, my God. Please, please. Excuse me.

762
00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:47,930
I'm Zhou Lianxia.

763
00:48:49,060 --> 00:48:51,100
I spoke too frankly, it's
a terrible fault of mine.

764
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:52,560
I really apologize for that.

765
00:48:52,970 --> 00:48:56,560
You that young debutante that
we featured in our society pages.

766
00:48:57,850 --> 00:48:59,600
Yeah, I-I'm...

767
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,930
I’m a classically trained poet and painter,

768
00:49:02,930 --> 00:49:05,060
so my concern is genuine.

769
00:49:05,060 --> 00:49:08,390
I mean, there's so many young
poets, that are rising in China,

770
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:09,970
and they deserve a chance.

771
00:49:09,970 --> 00:49:11,430
Like who?

772
00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:15,680
Ai Qing, Lu Zun, Dai
Wangshu, and so many others.

773
00:49:16,810 --> 00:49:18,520
All right.

774
00:49:19,350 --> 00:49:23,100
Let me see what you made
of. 1500 words on China's

775
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:26,350
promising new poets on my desk by Friday.

776
00:49:27,390 --> 00:49:29,180
Don't disappoint.

777
00:49:32,220 --> 00:49:33,770
Did he just give you a job?

778
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:37,350
Oh Ziyi, the Shun Pao!

779
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,850
Oh, my god. Kill me!

780
00:49:40,220 --> 00:49:41,930
Honestly, if anyone can turn a reprimand

781
00:49:41,930 --> 00:49:44,180
to a career opportunity, it would be you.

782
00:49:56,770 --> 00:49:58,850
Ziyi come quick. Xiaoman is devastated.

783
00:50:00,220 --> 00:50:02,140
She just got a telegram that’s awful.

784
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,310
Zhimo just died in a plane crash.

785
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,020
What?

786
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,720
Zhimo!

787
00:50:32,770 --> 00:50:34,100
Air raid! The children.

788
00:50:34,850 --> 00:50:36,180
Go! - Run, run!

789
00:51:04,930 --> 00:51:08,390
Following the invasion
of Shanghai, Japanese forces

790
00:51:08,390 --> 00:51:12,270
advanced on Nanjing,
leaving carnage in their wake.

791
00:51:12,770 --> 00:51:14,060
Western missionaries

792
00:51:14,060 --> 00:51:18,220
are reporting the Japanese
have massacred over 200,000

793
00:51:18,220 --> 00:51:21,520
Chinese civilians and raped and tortured

794
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:23,640
tens of thousands of Chinese...
who've is still to come for me?

795
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,600
Oh Mrs. Zhou, do they come for me?

796
00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:27,600
No, I don't think so Mrs. Kubernick.

797
00:51:27,970 --> 00:51:30,180
The Jewish are always welcome in Shanghai.

798
00:51:33,470 --> 00:51:35,430
Come on, let's go back to our families.

799
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:43,270
Barbarians! What they did in Nanjing.

800
00:51:46,970 --> 00:51:48,600
So many are dead.

801
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,060
- And those poor women.
- Keep your voice is down.

802
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:52,310
You want to get us all killed?

803
00:51:52,310 --> 00:51:54,270
They wouldn't dare. Okay.

804
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,750
This is the international settlement.

805
00:51:55,930 --> 00:51:57,640
Not when the whole world is watching.

806
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,970
We’ll move past them.

807
00:52:01,220 --> 00:52:02,640
Hi, sir. Would you like to join?

808
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,100
No please just take a look.

809
00:52:06,020 --> 00:52:07,430
Oh, we have to keep pushing.

810
00:52:07,430 --> 00:52:10,680
Ziyi (V.O.): I was a
blank sheet of paper full

811
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,470
of power, potential and promise.

812
00:52:14,310 --> 00:52:18,140
But if I didn't paint my
own life on it, somebody else

813
00:52:18,270 --> 00:52:19,520
would.

814
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,890
Oh, remember that night? Such glamour.

815
00:52:26,890 --> 00:52:28,430
See you and Wanping were with us.

816
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:34,520
Yeah, but...

817
00:52:35,220 --> 00:52:36,930
we have more important things to do now.

818
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,470
I do want to get home
before the kids go to bed.

819
00:52:42,020 --> 00:52:44,180
Remember those gorgeous pre-war fashions?

820
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,680
Oh, I'd give my eyeteeth
for a dress like that.

821
00:52:46,970 --> 00:52:48,640
But we have to go to Paris to get them.

822
00:52:49,350 --> 00:52:51,810
Look, it's hard enough to
get food, let alone dresses.

823
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:55,140
You could make one.
Or spruce up an old one.

824
00:52:55,970 --> 00:52:58,310
Please. I'm a muse. Not an artist.

825
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,350
I will look like a burlap sack.

826
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:02,810
Night Wei.

827
00:53:23,060 --> 00:53:24,310
If you insist on going

828
00:53:24,310 --> 00:53:26,390
to Dora’s to get some dresses,

829
00:53:26,770 --> 00:53:27,970
we should get going.

830
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,100
Uh, no, no.

831
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:31,220
You better go without me.

832
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,140
Nothing to wear.

833
00:53:35,390 --> 00:53:37,390
Mhmm funny you should say that.

834
00:53:38,810 --> 00:53:40,350
Where did you get that gorgeous dress?

835
00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:42,350
I made it.

836
00:53:42,350 --> 00:53:43,970
Oh, no, you didn’t!

837
00:53:43,970 --> 00:53:45,970
I'm going to look like a cow beside you.

838
00:53:46,810 --> 00:53:48,850
Funny you should say that.

839
00:53:49,930 --> 00:53:52,220
Oh no you didn’t!

840
00:53:55,970 --> 00:53:57,810
Come on. Let's go show Dora.

841
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:14,310
Mr. Xie, how are you?

842
00:54:14,310 --> 00:54:15,600
You are here?

843
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:16,850
Of course.

844
00:54:18,060 --> 00:54:21,100
Oh my friends, you look stunning!

845
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:23,180
Where did you get these gorgeous dresses?

846
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:24,600
I didn't make them.

847
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,220
Oh it’s a trade secret.

848
00:54:26,970 --> 00:54:29,100
You look like Hollywood movie stars.

849
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,180
So would you like to see my new creation?

850
00:54:31,470 --> 00:54:32,640
Look at this right here.

851
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,180
Just stunning.

852
00:54:34,180 --> 00:54:37,060
And I think that this would look
gorgeous on either one of you.

853
00:54:42,810 --> 00:54:44,060
Honey...

854
00:54:44,060 --> 00:54:45,220
Finally.

855
00:54:46,310 --> 00:54:47,930
Do you have any idea what time it is?

856
00:54:52,060 --> 00:54:54,420
You know, since everyone
started wanting a piece of you, I.

857
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,270
I feel like I hardly see you anymore.

858
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,470
From our kids to your
editors, the curators,

859
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,890
the woman's movement, the war effort.

860
00:55:03,890 --> 00:55:05,560
Even that American banker

861
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,180
who thinks nothing of traveling
from Hong come to Shanghai

862
00:55:08,180 --> 00:55:09,810
just to lunch with you.

863
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:14,270
Look, even the society gossip pages

864
00:55:14,270 --> 00:55:17,640
are starting to comment
on how popular Madam Zhou

865
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:18,810
has become.

866
00:55:23,770 --> 00:55:25,350
What about all those women

867
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,100
who can't wait for you
to waltz them to ecstasy?

868
00:55:31,220 --> 00:55:34,020
You know, your dance
moves are legendary, my dear.

869
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:38,470
And I heard

870
00:55:39,310 --> 00:55:43,390
that they call you Mr. Swivel-Hips.

871
00:55:45,430 --> 00:55:46,810
Such a stupid nickname.

872
00:55:50,470 --> 00:55:52,930
I feel like you don't have
time for me anymore.

873
00:56:07,890 --> 00:56:09,810
Mr. Swivel-Hips, really?

874
00:56:15,470 --> 00:56:16,720
I'm sorry.

875
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,020
Your story is out today.

876
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:24,600
Well, hurry. I hear they have butter at

877
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,220
Spiegelman’s Deli in Little Kiev.

878
00:56:26,220 --> 00:56:27,900
We need to get there before it's all gone.

879
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,100
It's another short story.

880
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:33,020
You don't write much poetry anymore.

881
00:56:33,970 --> 00:56:35,100
It's the war.

882
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:36,620
People want to read uplifting stories,

883
00:56:37,180 --> 00:56:38,680
something to get them out of the war.

884
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,280
Something to get them out of dark times.

885
00:56:41,020 --> 00:56:42,310
What's next? Sermons?

886
00:56:53,470 --> 00:56:55,310
Breaking News. It's official.

887
00:56:55,310 --> 00:56:58,970
The Japanese have bombed
Pearl Harbor Sunday morning.

888
00:56:59,390 --> 00:57:00,640
Early attack.

889
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,140
What's going on Mrs. Kubernick?

890
00:57:02,140 --> 00:57:03,810
They bomb Pearl Harbor.

891
00:57:03,810 --> 00:57:05,520
Why is that? - In America?

892
00:57:06,060 --> 00:57:08,180
Who did? - Is the Japanese?

893
00:57:08,180 --> 00:57:09,390
That's damn good news.

894
00:57:10,390 --> 00:57:12,470
What? Don’t you all see what this means?

895
00:57:12,470 --> 00:57:13,850
The Japanese think they're the only ones

896
00:57:13,850 --> 00:57:15,020
who've never lost a war.

897
00:57:15,770 --> 00:57:17,060
Well, neither have us Yanks.

898
00:57:17,390 --> 00:57:18,930
And we won't take this lying down.

899
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,640
So that means that the Americans
are entering the war on our side

900
00:57:24,930 --> 00:57:28,520
Maybe good news, but
there’s so much fright.

901
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,810
There’s so much death everywhere now.

902
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,970
It's the first mistake that Japan has made.

903
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,270
With luck, it'll cost them the war.

904
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,270
I don't know what to do.

905
00:57:46,220 --> 00:57:47,720
You are one of us,

906
00:57:48,430 --> 00:57:49,680
okay?

907
00:57:50,850 --> 00:57:52,140
We're going to take care of you.

908
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:10,640
Thank you.

909
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,470
Guys look what I have here.

910
00:58:14,890 --> 00:58:16,600
Oh what’s that?

911
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:18,890
It’s pork.

912
00:58:18,890 --> 00:58:20,970
It’s pork? Mommy
can I have some please?

913
00:58:20,970 --> 00:58:23,560
Of course, it comes from
a big fat pig. So please.

914
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:24,720
Boy 2: Me too. - Dig in.

915
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,270
There’s enough for everyone.

916
00:58:26,270 --> 00:58:27,890
You're a miracle worker.

917
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:30,270
It’s amazing.

918
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:31,930
Oh, we have to thank Mrs. Kubernick

919
00:58:31,930 --> 00:58:33,100
next time we see her.

920
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:34,470
Mm. Will do.

921
00:58:34,890 --> 00:58:36,720
Remember one bowl of rice each.

922
00:58:36,970 --> 00:58:38,100
Okay?

923
00:58:48,470 --> 00:58:49,600
Hey!

924
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,100
Give that!

925
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,440
They think they can do
whatever they want now.

926
00:58:58,850 --> 00:59:01,310
What's to stop them turning
Shanghai to another Nanjing?

927
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,180
That won’t happen, okay? We are mothers.

928
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,850
Even if we have to take weapons ourselves.

929
00:59:16,850 --> 00:59:18,810
Ziyi (V.O.): My new poetry transformed

930
00:59:18,810 --> 00:59:20,770
into the literature of witness.

931
00:59:21,310 --> 00:59:23,890
Speaking out against atrocities,

932
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,810
trying to keep hope alive.

933
00:59:28,220 --> 00:59:31,310
That's a picture I
think is your first competition.

934
00:59:32,220 --> 00:59:33,560
Look how young you were.

935
00:59:35,930 --> 00:59:37,520
And you want that.

936
00:59:37,930 --> 00:59:39,060
You were so surprised.

937
00:59:40,100 --> 00:59:41,310
I wasn't.

938
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,680
And you got famous right after that.

939
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:51,890
All right.

940
00:59:52,390 --> 00:59:54,470
I got some bad news, my butterfly.

941
00:59:56,310 --> 00:59:58,020
The news from suppliers

942
00:59:58,020 --> 01:00:00,220
in Japan is not good.

943
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,100
Ever since they bombed Pearl Harbor,

944
01:00:05,390 --> 01:00:07,930
now they say Japan will take over the whole

945
01:00:07,930 --> 01:00:09,850
international settlement to.

946
01:00:13,970 --> 01:00:16,430
Surely it's still safe here?

947
01:00:16,430 --> 01:00:20,060
No, they could seize all my goods

948
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,520
or worse.

949
01:00:24,220 --> 01:00:26,470
I'm going to take my two wives

950
01:00:26,470 --> 01:00:29,770
back to our family estate in Hunan.

951
01:00:29,770 --> 01:00:32,100
We’ll be a lot safer there.

952
01:00:32,890 --> 01:00:35,140
Then you and your family

953
01:00:35,140 --> 01:00:36,520
must come too, huh?

954
01:00:36,890 --> 01:00:39,220
Wanping and I have lives here.

955
01:00:39,470 --> 01:00:41,100
Our careers are here.

956
01:00:41,470 --> 01:00:43,350
What would we do over there?

957
01:00:46,270 --> 01:00:49,310
Keep an old man happy.

958
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,390
Two wives do that well already, father.

959
01:01:13,470 --> 01:01:15,310
Be safe.

960
01:01:31,060 --> 01:01:33,310
She's lost her bloom.

961
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:35,970
Who knew,

962
01:01:35,970 --> 01:01:39,600
the greatest of my children
would be my daughter.

963
01:01:40,430 --> 01:01:42,470
Not my son.

964
01:01:46,810 --> 01:01:49,890
You can bury the speed
and pressure to change a stroke.

965
01:01:50,020 --> 01:01:53,180
So if you go smooth, it will look like that

966
01:01:53,810 --> 01:01:56,520
or I can be choppy and look like that.

967
01:01:57,220 --> 01:02:00,310
Or it could be rough and look like that.

968
01:02:01,100 --> 01:02:04,600
So you can put your own
personality into your work. Yes.

969
01:02:04,770 --> 01:02:06,390
Good. Okay.

970
01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:08,850
How about... How about you? Impress me.

971
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,020
Daddy's home!

972
01:02:14,810 --> 01:02:16,390
Hello.

973
01:02:16,390 --> 01:02:18,430
Oh, my goodness. - You working hard?

974
01:02:18,430 --> 01:02:20,430
Give your dad a chance to relax.

975
01:02:21,470 --> 01:02:22,890
Let's just go to dinner first.

976
01:02:22,890 --> 01:02:24,390
Lin? Lin: Okay.

977
01:02:24,390 --> 01:02:26,180
Can you help me
with the kids, please?

978
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,100
Thank you.

979
01:02:32,270 --> 01:02:36,020
You look like a cat in a cream.

980
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,100
What’s going on?

981
01:02:39,810 --> 01:02:41,100
I'm getting promoted.

982
01:02:41,310 --> 01:02:43,390
More responsibility and a pay raise!

983
01:02:44,770 --> 01:02:46,970
That's amazing. And you're so young still.

984
01:02:46,970 --> 01:02:49,140
Yeah. - Oh, I'm so proud of you.

985
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:51,140
Okay, wait-wait... I want
to hear more about this.

986
01:02:51,470 --> 01:02:53,270
Tell me everything. What's going on?

987
01:02:54,470 --> 01:02:58,640
So they want me to courier top
secret documents the government

988
01:02:59,060 --> 01:03:01,720
and distribute anti-Japanese
pamphlets around the city.

989
01:03:02,270 --> 01:03:04,470
I'll have to travel more as well.

990
01:03:04,850 --> 01:03:06,470
Wait, what?

991
01:03:07,270 --> 01:03:09,350
No it will help drive out the Japanese...

992
01:03:09,350 --> 01:03:10,850
and boost Chinese morale.

993
01:03:12,390 --> 01:03:13,560
No.

994
01:03:14,430 --> 01:03:15,970
Do you not know how dangerous that is?

995
01:03:17,020 --> 01:03:18,580
What if the Japanese were to catch you?

996
01:03:18,930 --> 01:03:20,140
If they caught me,

997
01:03:20,140 --> 01:03:22,220
that would do the same
thing they do to anyone else.

998
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:37,640
My dearest Wanping, where are you?

999
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:54,970
Ziyi (V.O.): Home...
I'll go early to sleep,

1000
01:03:54,970 --> 01:03:57,680
hoping to be one with you in my dreams.

1001
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,810
So long as our hearts together soon...

1002
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,270
What does it matter if
there is light or moon?

1003
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,720
Mr. Xu, Mrs. Zhou,

1004
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,930
a couple of pictures, please, real quick.

1005
01:04:25,930 --> 01:04:27,640
Right there. Thank you so much.

1006
01:04:28,470 --> 01:04:29,680
Mr. Xu.

1007
01:04:32,310 --> 01:04:33,520
Thank you.

1008
01:04:38,270 --> 01:04:39,930
Hey, Chen, it's bad enough

1009
01:04:39,930 --> 01:04:41,970
there's no pork to be
had for love or money.

1010
01:04:41,970 --> 01:04:43,140
Stop hogging the dim sum.

1011
01:04:43,140 --> 01:04:44,600
You've already drank all the wine.

1012
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,100
Beihong, you’re back.

1013
01:04:46,100 --> 01:04:49,020
Mhmm... - You know, they say great

1014
01:04:49,020 --> 01:04:52,100
art nourishes culture
and poor art debases it.

1015
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:54,140
I'd hate to have you
struggle to get a masterpiece

1016
01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:55,520
because of your empty stomach.

1017
01:04:57,140 --> 01:04:59,270
Trust an intellectual to say a simple thing

1018
01:04:59,270 --> 01:05:00,350
in a complicated way

1019
01:05:00,350 --> 01:05:03,560
while we artists say complicated
things in a simple way.

1020
01:05:03,970 --> 01:05:05,560
No, great art begins with truth.

1021
01:05:05,810 --> 01:05:08,140
So how was Russia?

1022
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,270
Oh, great Vodka, terrible food.

1023
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,140
I couldn't find anything I needed.

1024
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,390
Well, I mean, good thing
we have art, poetry and love.

1025
01:05:17,890 --> 01:05:19,890
I mean, if that's not enough, then what is?

1026
01:05:20,310 --> 01:05:23,390
I'm going to go to Singapore
to sell more paintings

1027
01:05:23,390 --> 01:05:25,470
to help the war effort
against the Japanese.

1028
01:05:25,810 --> 01:05:27,680
I mean, I could
donate all my work too,

1029
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,720
although I won't sell as much as yours.

1030
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,180
But every little bit helps.

1031
01:05:33,770 --> 01:05:36,680
So where's Wen Yiduo?

1032
01:05:37,220 --> 01:05:38,640
I thought he was coming tonight.

1033
01:05:39,140 --> 01:05:40,810
He's at the Li Gonpu’s memorial.

1034
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:42,220
He'll be here soon.

1035
01:05:43,140 --> 01:05:44,140
Waiter.

1036
01:05:45,140 --> 01:05:46,890
The whole world's at war and

1037
01:05:46,890 --> 01:05:48,430
China is at the tip of the spear.

1038
01:05:48,890 --> 01:05:50,930
Why isn't the West doing more to help us?

1039
01:05:51,350 --> 01:05:53,630
At least Americans are
sending those Flying Tiger pilots.

1040
01:05:54,180 --> 01:05:55,810
With their P-40 Warhawks.

1041
01:05:55,810 --> 01:05:57,720
Hopefully the Japanese
won't know what hit them.

1042
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,180
I met a Flying Tiger
once at a Shanghai club.

1043
01:06:00,850 --> 01:06:02,100
Harry Moyer.

1044
01:06:02,310 --> 01:06:03,770
He was a very nice man.

1045
01:06:03,770 --> 01:06:05,970
I mean, he genuinely likes the Chinese.

1046
01:06:05,970 --> 01:06:07,100
No prejudice.

1047
01:06:07,930 --> 01:06:09,310
Really, huh?

1048
01:06:09,310 --> 01:06:10,640
I didn't know that.

1049
01:06:11,020 --> 01:06:13,350
Where is the love in modern art?

1050
01:06:13,350 --> 01:06:15,470
This brutal war is forcing

1051
01:06:15,470 --> 01:06:17,930
artists to be more and more abstract.

1052
01:06:18,810 --> 01:06:21,930
I think as the masculine
drive to control nature,

1053
01:06:22,310 --> 01:06:25,060
make the organic inorganic. Reduce

1054
01:06:25,060 --> 01:06:28,640
the exquisite human form
to a mathematical formula.

1055
01:06:29,020 --> 01:06:30,680
Where's the love in that?

1056
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:35,560
I got your masculine love drive right here.

1057
01:06:36,310 --> 01:06:39,180
And there's nothing

1058
01:06:39,180 --> 01:06:42,020
mathematical about that.

1059
01:06:42,020 --> 01:06:45,470
Except one plus one.

1060
01:06:45,470 --> 01:06:48,060
Chen!

1061
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,470
You hopeless, sexist.

1062
01:06:51,810 --> 01:06:53,890
I mean, I think you'd be so much happier

1063
01:06:53,890 --> 01:06:55,390
if women were crawling

1064
01:06:55,390 --> 01:06:57,430
on all fours and running free in the wind.

1065
01:06:57,430 --> 01:06:58,850
You're right.

1066
01:06:58,850 --> 01:07:02,850
Ziyi, show me that “on all fours” part.

1067
01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:05,930
Maybe I should.

1068
01:07:06,970 --> 01:07:09,060
You know, since.

1069
01:07:09,060 --> 01:07:12,060
Since you haven't evolved from the ocean

1070
01:07:12,060 --> 01:07:14,060
troglodyte that you are.

1071
01:07:15,270 --> 01:07:19,310
Why don't I return you
to your natural habitat?

1072
01:07:26,770 --> 01:07:28,890
China is greater when women hold

1073
01:07:28,890 --> 01:07:30,810
half the sky and ocean.

1074
01:07:35,930 --> 01:07:38,520
When the New York Stock
Exchange opens by noon,

1075
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,720
shares of General
Electric... Ziyi: Morton, Morton!

1076
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,270
I’ll ca... I have to go.

1077
01:07:45,390 --> 01:07:47,060
Ziyi, what’s wrong.

1078
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:48,180
I got your urgent message.

1079
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,180
I have to warn you. Okay?

1080
01:07:50,180 --> 01:07:52,310
My husband just told me
that the Japanese are closing

1081
01:07:52,310 --> 01:07:53,810
in on all foreigners in China,

1082
01:07:54,390 --> 01:07:57,020
especially Jews, even in
international settlement.

1083
01:07:57,430 --> 01:07:58,810
You know, that's a death sentence!

1084
01:07:58,810 --> 01:08:00,600
They wouldn’t dare. We control most of the

1085
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,680
banking and financing for
Asia, right here on the Bund.

1086
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,930
That doesn’t matter anymore.

1087
01:08:04,810 --> 01:08:06,570
The Japanese start the
internments tomorrow.

1088
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:08,430
They have ghetto camps ready,

1089
01:08:08,430 --> 01:08:09,930
and they're going to start the arrests.

1090
01:08:09,930 --> 01:08:11,770
You need to leave for Hong Kong tonight.

1091
01:08:12,140 --> 01:08:13,270
Tonight?

1092
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,480
You want to take the
chance, that he’s wrong.

1093
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,810
You have, you have
have offices in Hong Kong.

1094
01:08:18,970 --> 01:08:19,970
You have nothing to lose.

1095
01:08:19,970 --> 01:08:22,520
All right, for your sake, I
will. I'll be back next week.

1096
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,180
And if anything changes,
you have to let me.

1097
01:08:24,180 --> 01:08:25,430
Thank you, thank you okay?

1098
01:08:25,430 --> 01:08:26,930
I have to go. I have to warn others.

1099
01:08:26,930 --> 01:08:28,600
But please

1100
01:08:29,470 --> 01:08:31,270
let me know when you
get to Hong Kong safely.

1101
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,350
You're still one of a kind, Ziyi.

1102
01:08:35,850 --> 01:08:37,140
Be safe.

1103
01:08:37,770 --> 01:08:39,390
Okay. Okay.

1104
01:08:48,140 --> 01:08:49,270
Mom?

1105
01:08:49,970 --> 01:08:51,560
Where’s father? What’s going on?

1106
01:08:54,810 --> 01:08:59,270
Oh, it’s awful! Your father is gone.

1107
01:09:01,020 --> 01:09:02,930
You mean away to Hong Kong?

1108
01:09:02,930 --> 01:09:05,680
Lady Zhou: No, no. He's dead!

1109
01:09:06,020 --> 01:09:07,470
Last night.

1110
01:09:20,140 --> 01:09:21,310
No...

1111
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,060
What happened?

1112
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,680
The doctor said that it was his heart.

1113
01:09:29,140 --> 01:09:31,140
But I have my suspicions.

1114
01:09:32,310 --> 01:09:35,310
That monster second wife of his

1115
01:09:36,220 --> 01:09:38,430
just threw me out.

1116
01:09:38,930 --> 01:09:41,640
She can’t do that. You are first wife.

1117
01:09:41,970 --> 01:09:45,470
Her son is the master now.

1118
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,930
He inherited the estate.

1119
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,890
I have nowhere to go.

1120
01:09:53,890 --> 01:09:56,560
Mom, that's nonsense.

1121
01:09:57,140 --> 01:09:59,180
Okay? Your home is here with us.

1122
01:10:00,220 --> 01:10:01,970
And I don't care about the state.

1123
01:10:02,270 --> 01:10:04,890
Her treatment of you is unforgivable.

1124
01:10:11,180 --> 01:10:12,850
Do you wanna go inside first?

1125
01:10:26,470 --> 01:10:28,600
Ziyi (V.O.): With World War Two over,

1126
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:32,640
we had such hopes for a
joyful future for all of China.

1127
01:10:32,890 --> 01:10:34,810
But that was not to be.

1128
01:10:34,810 --> 01:10:36,140
My dear!

1129
01:10:36,970 --> 01:10:39,970
Hi, it’s finally over...

1130
01:10:39,970 --> 01:10:41,930
Most amazing. I can’t believe it.

1131
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,850
Now we will have some
peace. I mean, at last.

1132
01:10:45,850 --> 01:10:47,310
Oh darling... I...

1133
01:10:47,310 --> 01:10:50,140
I wish that were the
case, but we still have

1134
01:10:50,140 --> 01:10:51,560
a civil war going on.

1135
01:10:53,180 --> 01:10:55,180
I mean, after all these years,

1136
01:10:56,180 --> 01:10:57,500
haven't people had enough of war?

1137
01:10:59,310 --> 01:11:00,970
With the Japanese retreating

1138
01:11:00,970 --> 01:11:03,210
then the foreigners giving
Shanghai back to the Chinese?

1139
01:11:04,020 --> 01:11:05,270
There's just too much at stake

1140
01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:06,590
for either side to back down now.

1141
01:11:06,930 --> 01:11:09,560
I mean that the whole
country's up for grabs.

1142
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,600
Men and their egos
and their lust for power.

1143
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:14,680
It's just...

1144
01:11:16,350 --> 01:11:18,100
You never see women starting a war.

1145
01:11:18,100 --> 01:11:20,640
And we know it's our children
that will suffer and die.

1146
01:11:23,060 --> 01:11:24,470
Why don't we get out of here?

1147
01:11:24,470 --> 01:11:27,350
You, me, the kids just go somewhere else.

1148
01:11:32,350 --> 01:11:35,430
I can’t. I mean, this is.

1149
01:11:35,430 --> 01:11:37,020
This is where we fell in love.

1150
01:11:37,020 --> 01:11:38,430
Our souls united here.

1151
01:11:39,430 --> 01:11:41,020
This is our motherland.

1152
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,350
Never mind.

1153
01:11:47,140 --> 01:11:48,810
We have plenty of time to think about it.

1154
01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:52,270
And besides, the future may be bright.

1155
01:11:55,470 --> 01:11:57,060
Ziyi (V.O.): As the Chinese civil war

1156
01:11:57,060 --> 01:11:59,970
raged on, we made the
most of the happiness we had.

1157
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:03,890
There are always flowers for
those who want to see them.

1158
01:12:34,100 --> 01:12:36,810
Hey, hey, Wanping!

1159
01:12:38,020 --> 01:12:40,810
Hey, I just saw Wei and Dai Chien

1160
01:12:40,810 --> 01:12:41,890
outside of the artist club.

1161
01:12:41,890 --> 01:12:43,770
They're in a frenzy from
the Civil War ending.

1162
01:12:44,180 --> 01:12:45,310
They're all packing up and leaving

1163
01:12:45,310 --> 01:12:46,640
until things settle down.

1164
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,430
Oh, that's terrible.

1165
01:12:49,390 --> 01:12:53,060
No need to shout like fish
wife. He’s in the bedroom.

1166
01:12:54,220 --> 01:12:55,640
Packing.

1167
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,060
Packing?

1168
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:05,810
You leaving me already?

1169
01:13:06,270 --> 01:13:07,850
Just packing for my trip.

1170
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,640
Our trip to Formosa.

1171
01:13:17,020 --> 01:13:18,140
You know, I've been helping

1172
01:13:18,140 --> 01:13:19,600
transition the postal service there

1173
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,720
from Japanese control back to the Chinese.

1174
01:13:22,100 --> 01:13:26,180
Well, they promoted me again
for doing a halfway decent job.

1175
01:13:27,060 --> 01:13:29,470
And there’s a ship leaving tonight.

1176
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,350
You’re not leaving forever right?

1177
01:13:35,930 --> 01:13:37,720
No, just two weeks.

1178
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:41,770
But why don't you come with me?

1179
01:13:42,470 --> 01:13:43,560
It'll be good for us.

1180
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,350
No, no, no worries.

1181
01:13:46,350 --> 01:13:48,560
No kids, no war.

1182
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,140
Just cows,

1183
01:13:51,180 --> 01:13:53,720
and meadows. For as far as the eye can see.

1184
01:13:58,180 --> 01:13:59,640
I-I can't.

1185
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,560
I just started work at the girl's school.

1186
01:14:04,430 --> 01:14:06,270
They won't let me take a vacation so early.

1187
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,430
Besides, what would I
do in such natural splendor

1188
01:14:12,430 --> 01:14:14,270
for two weeks?

1189
01:14:15,770 --> 01:14:18,890
I can't paint dragonflies
and butterflies all day.

1190
01:14:20,390 --> 01:14:21,810
Perhaps not, but...

1191
01:14:22,390 --> 01:14:24,390
You know, everything's
just so uncertain nowadays.

1192
01:14:24,390 --> 01:14:26,310
Who knows how long it'll be before we-

1193
01:14:26,310 --> 01:14:28,060
Don't say that.

1194
01:14:30,140 --> 01:14:32,600
Okay, we have eternity and a day.

1195
01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:35,310
Okay?

1196
01:14:35,930 --> 01:14:37,180
You're right.

1197
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,470
Come back to me safe and sound

1198
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:50,890
my dear dragonfly.

1199
01:15:04,310 --> 01:15:06,220
Wanping (V.O.): I'm stuck here.

1200
01:15:07,140 --> 01:15:09,140
I am so sorry.

1201
01:15:09,970 --> 01:15:11,600
I never thought this would happen.

1202
01:15:12,060 --> 01:15:15,770
I promise I will find my way back to you.

1203
01:15:16,430 --> 01:15:18,390
Nothing's going to keep us apart.

1204
01:15:18,970 --> 01:15:20,720
I will move heaven.

1205
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,770
I will move earth.

1206
01:15:22,770 --> 01:15:24,310
You wait for me.

1207
01:15:24,930 --> 01:15:26,430
Stay safe.

1208
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,020
Stay alive.

1209
01:15:28,850 --> 01:15:30,600
But until then,

1210
01:15:31,100 --> 01:15:33,720
as the bright moon shines over the sea

1211
01:15:34,930 --> 01:15:36,350
from far away

1212
01:15:36,850 --> 01:15:40,310
you share this moment with me.

1213
01:15:41,470 --> 01:15:43,310
Ziyi (V.O.): For parted lovers,

1214
01:15:43,310 --> 01:15:45,810
lonely nights the worst shall be.

1215
01:15:47,220 --> 01:15:50,520
All night long I'll think of none but the.

1216
01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:55,930
When will I see you
again my dearest husband?

1217
01:16:00,020 --> 01:16:01,350
The new government has allowed

1218
01:16:01,350 --> 01:16:03,270
me to come back in and settle affairs.

1219
01:16:03,270 --> 01:16:06,890
But all foreigners must
leave by the end of the month.

1220
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,350
This is it for me.

1221
01:16:13,850 --> 01:16:15,020
For us.

1222
01:16:17,810 --> 01:16:18,970
Sorry.

1223
01:16:20,270 --> 01:16:22,720
You've shown me so many
kindnesses in the years.

1224
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,810
I owe much of my success to your support.

1225
01:16:28,390 --> 01:16:29,970
Nonsense.

1226
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:31,850
You earned it, Ziyi.

1227
01:16:31,850 --> 01:16:33,640
With hard work and sheer talent.

1228
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,060
The honorable Wu Hufan.

1229
01:16:43,060 --> 01:16:44,220
I asked him to stop by.

1230
01:16:44,220 --> 01:16:46,310
He's one of China's most
important art collectors.

1231
01:16:46,930 --> 01:16:49,180
His private collection
rivals the National Gallery.

1232
01:16:49,180 --> 01:16:51,100
And he's a talent poet as well.

1233
01:16:52,310 --> 01:16:53,560
Madam Zhou Lianxia.

1234
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,810
One of China's most accomplished
artists and a founding member

1235
01:16:56,810 --> 01:16:59,560
of China Women's Painting
and Calligraphy Association.

1236
01:17:00,970 --> 01:17:03,850
I went to one of your women's
exhibition not too long ago

1237
01:17:03,850 --> 01:17:05,140
and saw your work.

1238
01:17:05,390 --> 01:17:08,020
I was impressed by your delicacy of lines

1239
01:17:08,020 --> 01:17:11,140
and the subtle layers of meaning
you added with your choice

1240
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,930
accompanying poems. Most compelling.

1241
01:17:15,850 --> 01:17:17,470
So you do know art?

1242
01:17:17,470 --> 01:17:19,100
That was my favorite too.

1243
01:17:20,180 --> 01:17:21,350
You know there's so many collectors

1244
01:17:21,350 --> 01:17:23,850
that are dilettantes that
have just not the eye...

1245
01:17:23,850 --> 01:17:25,020
Ziyi!

1246
01:17:27,890 --> 01:17:29,020
Well, well.

1247
01:17:30,310 --> 01:17:32,220
Talented and plainspoken!

1248
01:17:33,770 --> 01:17:35,350
We're going to be fast friends.

1249
01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:37,970
I value honesty above all else.

1250
01:17:38,970 --> 01:17:40,100
I beg your pardon.

1251
01:17:40,100 --> 01:17:41,180
Please,

1252
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,680
everyone extolls the virtue
of honesty, then spends

1253
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,020
half their lives politely
lying to each other.

1254
01:17:48,890 --> 01:17:50,520
Speak of the devil.

1255
01:17:51,220 --> 01:17:52,520
I see. Mr. Chen is here.

1256
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:53,850
Yeah.

1257
01:17:54,270 --> 01:17:56,890
He's been coveting
my collection for years.

1258
01:17:58,770 --> 01:18:00,890
You better keep an eye
on him. Benedict: Yeah.

1259
01:18:01,310 --> 01:18:03,600
I was saddened to discover
you had thought every piece

1260
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,970
at the exhibit there
was nothing left for me.

1261
01:18:06,350 --> 01:18:08,930
She has a few gems hidden
away somewhere, I’m sure.

1262
01:18:12,060 --> 01:18:14,100
It’s a Ming Dynasty vase!

1263
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:15,720
I got to go.

1264
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,560
They're going to destroy
the whole collection.

1265
01:18:22,850 --> 01:18:23,970
You break it, you buy it.

1266
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:32,850
Ziyi (V.O.): Dearest Wanping,

1267
01:18:33,220 --> 01:18:34,930
with seven mouths to feed

1268
01:18:35,310 --> 01:18:37,930
I've been selling my work
and the family antiques.

1269
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:42,140
But there are fewer and fewer
buyers now, so money is tight.

1270
01:18:43,390 --> 01:18:44,930
But enough of my troubles.

1271
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:46,640
Are you well?

1272
01:18:47,270 --> 01:18:49,390
How I missed you and wish I could send you

1273
01:18:49,390 --> 01:18:50,970
this small piece of my heart.

1274
01:18:52,850 --> 01:18:55,430
I live upstream and you downstream.

1275
01:18:56,060 --> 01:18:58,810
Come night to night of you I dream.

1276
01:19:24,140 --> 01:19:26,270
Well, Ziyi...

1277
01:19:26,890 --> 01:19:30,310
Since your painting
references Bada Shanren’s work

1278
01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:34,100
should my companion poem
evoke a sense of uncertainty,

1279
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:36,350
with a touch of humor.

1280
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,100
I love it.

1281
01:19:41,220 --> 01:19:42,640
It's perfect.

1282
01:19:44,220 --> 01:19:46,720
Ziyi, I have some good news.

1283
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:50,430
You know, I’m the founding board member

1284
01:19:50,430 --> 01:19:52,020
of the Chinese Academy of Arts.

1285
01:19:53,140 --> 01:19:56,270
Well, a vacancy has come up in the faculty,

1286
01:19:56,850 --> 01:20:01,220
and I am most pleased
to be able to offer you

1287
01:20:02,060 --> 01:20:04,180
a junior professorship with us.

1288
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,520
How can I ever repay you for your kindness?

1289
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:08,720
This is.

1290
01:20:12,430 --> 01:20:15,140
I’ll take that as a yes! And nonsense,

1291
01:20:15,430 --> 01:20:17,350
we are lucky to have
an artist of your caliber.

1292
01:20:18,470 --> 01:20:19,930
It is I who should thank you.

1293
01:20:21,390 --> 01:20:22,640
Thank you. I'm serious.

1294
01:20:25,100 --> 01:20:26,270
Careful.

1295
01:20:26,270 --> 01:20:27,930
Someone might get the wrong idea.

1296
01:20:28,470 --> 01:20:29,930
You know how gossipy people are.

1297
01:20:31,770 --> 01:20:32,970
We are blameless friends

1298
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,890
and I don't care about
what gossip has to say.

1299
01:20:37,810 --> 01:20:39,310
I could have a doctor certify me.

1300
01:20:41,100 --> 01:20:43,560
Unfit for an affair.

1301
01:20:44,180 --> 01:20:45,770
You are impossible!

1302
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,020
Students.

1303
01:20:49,470 --> 01:20:51,810
I have a very special honor for you today.

1304
01:20:53,350 --> 01:20:55,970
One of China's most talented artists

1305
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,350
and a new art professor,

1306
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,810
Madame Zhou Lianxia.

1307
01:21:07,140 --> 01:21:10,220
Art is not a thing.

1308
01:21:11,930 --> 01:21:13,060
It's.

1309
01:21:13,060 --> 01:21:16,810
It's a way, a path, an unveiling.

1310
01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:18,390
It's a vision.

1311
01:21:19,350 --> 01:21:22,100
And as artists, it's
it's it's not important

1312
01:21:22,100 --> 01:21:26,140
what we see, but what we can make

1313
01:21:26,310 --> 01:21:28,270
others see.

1314
01:21:37,350 --> 01:21:39,270
It's about your little Nan?

1315
01:21:39,270 --> 01:21:40,560
She's all grown up.

1316
01:21:40,970 --> 01:21:42,560
Better start thinking about arranging a

1317
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,220
suitable marriage soon.

1318
01:22:05,770 --> 01:22:07,350
Let love bloom where it may.

1319
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,180
Ziyi (V.O.): Darling Husband,

1320
01:22:11,810 --> 01:22:14,270
food is getting scarce now.

1321
01:22:15,020 --> 01:22:16,560
Even rice.

1322
01:22:17,270 --> 01:22:19,560
So I worry for the children.

1323
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,640
Will we get any rice today, mother?

1324
01:22:35,270 --> 01:22:36,850
I hope so, okay?

1325
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,310
There will be no more rice today.

1326
01:22:42,470 --> 01:22:43,520
No rice today.

1327
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,430
No, no, we haven't eaten, okay?

1328
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:47,970
Good, good. Ziyi: No!

1329
01:22:50,390 --> 01:22:51,850
We need some, come on! Grab some!

1330
01:22:53,140 --> 01:22:54,430
Just a little bit bit more.

1331
01:22:54,430 --> 01:22:57,390
No, no, no, no... Let’s go!

1332
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:17,850
We got rice.

1333
01:23:17,850 --> 01:23:19,270
Oh, wonderful.

1334
01:23:23,140 --> 01:23:24,470
So little.

1335
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,640
I gave some away to Jade.

1336
01:23:30,180 --> 01:23:31,180
Careful, daughter.

1337
01:23:31,180 --> 01:23:32,680
You can’t feed everyone.

1338
01:23:33,270 --> 01:23:34,640
No, but...

1339
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,060
I can feed one.

1340
01:23:39,220 --> 01:23:41,810
I mean, if only we could sell
all these antiques for food.

1341
01:23:41,810 --> 01:23:43,560
But the vendors only take

1342
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,020
government food stamps right now.

1343
01:23:45,020 --> 01:23:46,310
Nana?

1344
01:23:47,180 --> 01:23:49,180
I need toilet paper, Nana?

1345
01:23:49,180 --> 01:23:50,770
Zhong annoying.

1346
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:52,350
It’s rationed.

1347
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,310
Don’t use it all at once.

1348
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,640
Well, are you kidding me, Nana?

1349
01:24:04,310 --> 01:24:05,810
Lady Zhou: No, oh my!

1350
01:24:05,810 --> 01:24:08,020
Oh mom! - I was robbed, bad.

1351
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,970
They stole all of our food stamps!

1352
01:24:17,060 --> 01:24:19,640
So no food for tonight
or the rest of the month?

1353
01:24:21,470 --> 01:24:23,890
Oh, my... Mom, are you okay?

1354
01:24:24,970 --> 01:24:27,270
You're really hurt. Please... just rest.

1355
01:24:27,430 --> 01:24:28,850
Wanna help grandma?

1356
01:24:30,390 --> 01:24:32,350
It’s okay, we got you. Okay?

1357
01:24:33,390 --> 01:24:35,100
God.

1358
01:24:39,180 --> 01:24:40,810
Just sleep. - You will be okay.

1359
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,270
Thank you so much.

1360
01:24:43,270 --> 01:24:45,470
Look, take care of Grandma.

1361
01:24:46,390 --> 01:24:48,600
I'm going to go find Jade
and borrow some food stamps.

1362
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,770
Mm. No... You have a nasty scalp wound,

1363
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:16,850
a concussion, and
perhaps internal bleeding.

1364
01:25:20,430 --> 01:25:21,430
Nope.

1365
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,430
Please get your strength
back for your family.

1366
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,270
No, you have to stay overnight.

1367
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,640
No, I can't. My family has to eat.

1368
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:30,680
I need to go.

1369
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,970
They need you healthy and strong.

1370
01:25:33,310 --> 01:25:36,640
If you leave, you can die
from a blood clot in your brain.

1371
01:25:36,930 --> 01:25:38,390
Don't be foolish.

1372
01:25:38,390 --> 01:25:39,810
Just lay back and rest.

1373
01:25:40,930 --> 01:25:42,350
Let's get you cleaned up.

1374
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:46,310
We will get you cleaned up.

1375
01:25:46,310 --> 01:25:47,850
Please, please, stay.

1376
01:25:47,970 --> 01:25:49,350
Stay. Just rest.

1377
01:25:50,890 --> 01:25:52,350
Grandma, wake up.

1378
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,680
Please I’m so hungry.

1379
01:25:56,180 --> 01:25:57,520
Please,

1380
01:25:58,180 --> 01:26:00,560
Grandma. Mommy!

1381
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:02,180
What's wrong?

1382
01:26:03,350 --> 01:26:04,720
Are you okay?

1383
01:26:19,850 --> 01:26:22,890
You, my dear,
are a very foolish woman.

1384
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:24,810
You almost died.

1385
01:26:24,810 --> 01:26:27,560
Thank goodness you have
a very sensible daughter.

1386
01:26:30,270 --> 01:26:32,140
Zhong ran to my place to get help.

1387
01:26:32,140 --> 01:26:33,850
What were you thinking?

1388
01:26:36,310 --> 01:26:37,810
You guys okay?

1389
01:26:37,810 --> 01:26:39,350
Mom, he’s fine.

1390
01:26:39,850 --> 01:26:42,350
Grandma is still oozy, but
Jade is there with them.

1391
01:26:43,430 --> 01:26:44,810
Now please rest.

1392
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:46,520
You can't carry the weight of the world

1393
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:47,810
on your shoulders every minute.

1394
01:27:20,390 --> 01:27:23,060
Mom! It's a package from Mr. Morgan.

1395
01:27:24,430 --> 01:27:27,850
Lady Zhou: Oh, oh, oh, yes.

1396
01:27:27,850 --> 01:27:30,720
Come here, Mr. Morgan gave this to us.

1397
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:01,520
This is... you.

1398
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:03,350
You said you were going for a walk.

1399
01:28:03,890 --> 01:28:05,770
And didn’t we walk here.

1400
01:28:19,100 --> 01:28:20,390
This is too much.

1401
01:28:20,390 --> 01:28:22,430
I mean, it's going to wipe
out half of your food stamps.

1402
01:28:22,430 --> 01:28:24,020
Sit. Sit.

1403
01:28:25,060 --> 01:28:27,270
I don't have children to
feed and more food stamps

1404
01:28:27,270 --> 01:28:28,470
than I can use.

1405
01:28:29,270 --> 01:28:31,060
Now that you recovered
from your head wound,

1406
01:28:31,850 --> 01:28:33,100
you need to treat yourself.

1407
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,560
So we enjoy ourselves.

1408
01:28:43,140 --> 01:28:44,720
All right, boy, more food.

1409
01:28:45,100 --> 01:28:46,680
There you go, dig in.

1410
01:28:47,430 --> 01:28:48,850
It’s your favorite.

1411
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:52,060
17 shrimps,

1412
01:28:52,220 --> 01:28:54,390
a young man like you
can do better than that.

1413
01:28:55,020 --> 01:28:57,930
Eat... here. Pork.

1414
01:28:59,140 --> 01:29:00,430
Thank you.

1415
01:29:00,970 --> 01:29:05,060
Oh, Ziyi, the gift to send
to your other children.

1416
01:29:05,430 --> 01:29:07,640
No, it’s, it's okay.

1417
01:29:08,140 --> 01:29:09,350
I insist.

1418
01:29:10,890 --> 01:29:12,310
Please.

1419
01:29:15,890 --> 01:29:17,520
You've always been so kind to me.

1420
01:29:23,770 --> 01:29:25,140
Like my dear brother.

1421
01:29:31,350 --> 01:29:33,600
And you're always my dear Ziyi.

1422
01:29:42,770 --> 01:29:46,020
Ziyi (V.O.): Dearest
husband, it's been 17 years

1423
01:29:46,020 --> 01:29:48,680
since we were parted. So much has changed.

1424
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,270
Our three older boys were

1425
01:29:50,270 --> 01:29:52,270
away to farm with all the other students.

1426
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,310
Our Nan is married now to a nice teacher.

1427
01:29:56,430 --> 01:29:57,970
And our youngest son,

1428
01:29:57,970 --> 01:30:00,810
clever Zhong, won first prize at school.

1429
01:30:02,180 --> 01:30:04,560
You would be so proud of them all.

1430
01:30:08,470 --> 01:30:11,600
Feel the chi, be the stillness,

1431
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,720
be the beauty.

1432
01:30:14,140 --> 01:30:16,720
Feel as the breath of life flows

1433
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:18,930
from your fingertips to the paintbrush.

1434
01:30:20,060 --> 01:30:22,810
Close your eyes and sing

1435
01:30:25,310 --> 01:30:27,310
Oh, we took a wrong turn, sir.

1436
01:30:28,020 --> 01:30:29,810
The junior artist is this way.

1437
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:35,890
You. It’s you.

1438
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,060
I never forget a face.

1439
01:30:38,470 --> 01:30:39,810
I'll be someone someday.

1440
01:30:40,470 --> 01:30:41,560
Then you’ll pay!

1441
01:30:41,970 --> 01:30:43,720
You're the snobby girl artist

1442
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,270
who was too good to paint my wares.

1443
01:30:45,470 --> 01:30:46,810
I don't remember that.

1444
01:30:46,810 --> 01:30:48,390
It doesn't sound like
something I would say.

1445
01:30:48,390 --> 01:30:49,520
Oh, yes it is.

1446
01:30:50,180 --> 01:30:51,600
I never forget a slight.

1447
01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:55,770
No one's too proud to serve the
great Chinese proletariat now.

1448
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:00,350
It's a new Academy program.

1449
01:31:00,970 --> 01:31:03,180
You'll be responsible
for painting these pieces

1450
01:31:03,180 --> 01:31:05,220
for mass consumption for my factory.

1451
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,060
The workers deserve beauty too!

1452
01:31:12,060 --> 01:31:14,390
Everyone deserves beauty.

1453
01:31:17,930 --> 01:31:19,220
You find me amusing?

1454
01:31:20,060 --> 01:31:21,470
It just seems.

1455
01:31:21,810 --> 01:31:23,890
It seems that I've had an appointment

1456
01:31:23,890 --> 01:31:25,680
with this basin for a very long time.

1457
01:32:21,470 --> 01:32:22,720
Just look at her.

1458
01:32:23,220 --> 01:32:26,890
It's senior artist painting
a common slop basin.

1459
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,640
Why doesn’t she feel more humiliated?

1460
01:32:30,810 --> 01:32:33,600
Perhaps she really believe
in the art for people.

1461
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:34,720
Shut up.

1462
01:32:35,220 --> 01:32:36,600
Who asked you?

1463
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,220
Ziyi.

1464
01:33:24,850 --> 01:33:26,310
Stop!

1465
01:33:27,350 --> 01:33:29,710
I have discovered you have
been criticizing the government.

1466
01:33:29,930 --> 01:33:32,020
You wrote in your famous poem.

1467
01:33:32,020 --> 01:33:34,520
If two hearts truly love each
other, what does it matter?

1468
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:35,770
If there's no lights or moon?

1469
01:33:35,770 --> 01:33:37,520
You're symbolically accusing our country

1470
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,020
of being in a dark time.

1471
01:33:39,020 --> 01:33:40,560
That was a poem I wrote to my husband

1472
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,140
20 years ago, and I’ve

1473
01:33:42,140 --> 01:33:44,770
been honoring my
students with accessible art,

1474
01:33:45,270 --> 01:33:46,520
Pretty words!

1475
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:47,930
And you have been accused of consorting

1476
01:33:47,930 --> 01:33:49,100
with counterrevolutionaries?

1477
01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:51,890
I have not. I really
have... - Come on, come on!

1478
01:33:56,470 --> 01:33:58,270
Can you just, please tell
me who's accusing me?

1479
01:33:58,270 --> 01:34:00,270
I-I don't know what's going on.

1480
01:34:08,140 --> 01:34:09,310
Apply pressure,

1481
01:34:10,100 --> 01:34:11,810
but no permanent damage.

1482
01:34:12,810 --> 01:34:14,600
I'll deal with Mr. Wu myself.

1483
01:34:25,180 --> 01:34:27,890
All I wanted was to marry a woman like you.

1484
01:34:29,430 --> 01:34:30,810
To marry you.

1485
01:34:32,060 --> 01:34:33,890
I’m... I'm married.

1486
01:34:36,930 --> 01:34:39,930
Oh your husband’s dead.
Didn’t they tell you that?

1487
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,140
No, you're lying.

1488
01:34:44,930 --> 01:34:47,600
I can still feel him even
after all these years.

1489
01:34:47,890 --> 01:34:49,560
No, you are mine!

1490
01:34:51,020 --> 01:34:52,720
Why can't you accept that I love you?

1491
01:34:54,350 --> 01:34:56,220
That I burn for you.

1492
01:34:58,470 --> 01:35:02,060
No, I can never love you.

1493
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:03,680
Okay.

1494
01:35:04,020 --> 01:35:05,560
I can make you love me.

1495
01:35:05,970 --> 01:35:09,390
You abuse your power for your own gain.

1496
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,520
Not for the people!

1497
01:35:12,970 --> 01:35:15,810
You dishonor yourself and our country!

1498
01:35:17,310 --> 01:35:20,640
You are nothing but a common bully!

1499
01:35:20,770 --> 01:35:22,680
I am not a bully!

1500
01:35:28,810 --> 01:35:31,470
My eye. My eye!

1501
01:35:45,470 --> 01:35:47,560
All art now belongs to the people.

1502
01:35:48,770 --> 01:35:49,770
What?

1503
01:35:51,060 --> 01:35:52,270
You mean you!

1504
01:35:52,270 --> 01:35:53,850
You have always wanted what was mine.

1505
01:35:54,890 --> 01:35:57,140
Take it... all!

1506
01:36:03,810 --> 01:36:05,350
It’s from Mr. Wu.

1507
01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:07,350
Lady Zhou (Speaking
Chinese): Oh it’s for you.

1508
01:36:08,060 --> 01:36:09,350
I was starting to worry.

1509
01:36:09,350 --> 01:36:11,020
Hasven’t heard back from him in days!

1510
01:36:12,220 --> 01:36:15,430
Wu (V.O.): Dear Ziyi, all my
beauties and treasures are gone.

1511
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,520
Even your splendid gifts to me.

1512
01:36:19,430 --> 01:36:21,350
How can they be elite works of art

1513
01:36:22,430 --> 01:36:24,140
if they make everyone's heart sing?

1514
01:36:25,060 --> 01:36:28,180
I feel myself slipping
away to a place where

1515
01:36:28,180 --> 01:36:31,890
art can still color my soul
with its delicate harmony.

1516
01:36:32,850 --> 01:36:34,640
Oh, how I admire your strength

1517
01:36:35,180 --> 01:36:37,810
and faith and human goodness, dear Ziyi.

1518
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,890
Just like the poem for
you, there will always be:

1519
01:36:43,020 --> 01:36:44,520
“Mountains layered,”

1520
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:47,270
“waters overlapping,”

1521
01:36:47,970 --> 01:36:50,390
“uncertain of the path.”

1522
01:36:51,470 --> 01:36:54,220
“Willows dark and flowers bright.”

1523
01:36:55,310 --> 01:36:58,310
“Once again a village.”

1524
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:05,180
What are you doing? Stop!

1525
01:37:05,180 --> 01:37:06,270
Those are valuable.

1526
01:37:06,270 --> 01:37:09,100
Not anymore. Now there
are ropes around our necks.

1527
01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:10,640
No one can them here.

1528
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:15,310
What shall we do mother?

1529
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:24,890
Why does it matter?

1530
01:37:27,390 --> 01:37:29,520
Why does anything matter?

1531
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:34,850
I lost my sight.

1532
01:37:36,140 --> 01:37:37,640
I lost Xiaoman.

1533
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:40,970
I lost your Zhimo.

1534
01:37:40,970 --> 01:37:42,430
I lost my dad.

1535
01:37:45,060 --> 01:37:47,060
And maybe your father is gone too.

1536
01:37:48,220 --> 01:37:49,720
So why?

1537
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:50,970
Why am I still here?

1538
01:37:51,390 --> 01:37:52,890
This isn't like you, Ziyi.

1539
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:55,180
You're the strongest,

1540
01:37:56,180 --> 01:37:57,390
of all of us.

1541
01:37:59,970 --> 01:38:01,060
Ziyi,

1542
01:38:02,270 --> 01:38:05,430
only in the cold winter does one know

1543
01:38:05,850 --> 01:38:08,850
that the pines and cypress are the last

1544
01:38:09,310 --> 01:38:10,890
to shed their leaves.

1545
01:38:13,100 --> 01:38:14,180
You're right.

1546
01:38:16,850 --> 01:38:18,350
And I have you all.

1547
01:38:26,100 --> 01:38:27,600
Ziyi (V.O.): Never have I missed you.

1548
01:38:28,140 --> 01:38:31,560
When every day I basked
in the knowing of your gaze.

1549
01:38:32,310 --> 01:38:34,720
Every day I walked the winds.

1550
01:38:35,180 --> 01:38:37,270
Your heart beating in my hands.

1551
01:38:37,930 --> 01:38:41,020
Every night I dwelt in
the evening of your mouth.

1552
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,390
In heaven's embrace...

1553
01:38:43,930 --> 01:38:46,680
twin souls... ablaze among the stars.

1554
01:38:47,890 --> 01:38:49,640
Never have I missed you.

1555
01:38:50,140 --> 01:38:52,270
Safe with every breath.

1556
01:39:01,100 --> 01:39:03,680
Oh, Nan. Come, let me help you with that.

1557
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:05,390
No, I can do it. - No, no, no.

1558
01:39:05,390 --> 01:39:07,180
Let's spend some time together.

1559
01:39:09,890 --> 01:39:11,850
Remember the first one
of these you ever painted?

1560
01:39:12,850 --> 01:39:14,810
That must have been 20 years ago now.

1561
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:17,270
Who knew then, it would become the most

1562
01:39:17,270 --> 01:39:20,350
popular basin in the
country, maybe the world?

1563
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:24,600
Now, everyone in China has one
of your paintings in their home.

1564
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,180
I'm proud to be your daughter, Mother.

1565
01:39:32,850 --> 01:39:35,680
I painted the peony your father gave me,

1566
01:39:36,140 --> 01:39:38,180
that first day we went courting.

1567
01:39:44,060 --> 01:39:46,270
Butterflies, danced on air,

1568
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:48,470
the sweetest nectar.

1569
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:52,270
Birds sang of love

1570
01:39:52,270 --> 01:39:53,770
through crystal throats.

1571
01:39:56,770 --> 01:39:57,970
His heart spoke

1572
01:39:57,970 --> 01:39:59,720
spoke a language only I could hear.

1573
01:40:01,970 --> 01:40:03,970
I will remember that day forever.

1574
01:40:04,890 --> 01:40:08,100
I wonder when love's
longing stirs us the most?

1575
01:40:09,470 --> 01:40:11,270
When flowers blossom,

1576
01:40:12,810 --> 01:40:14,470
or when the petals fall?

1577
01:40:15,470 --> 01:40:17,560
Love makes everything more beautiful.

1578
01:40:19,890 --> 01:40:21,430
Do you,

1579
01:40:22,930 --> 01:40:24,810
do you think father is still alive?

1580
01:40:27,100 --> 01:40:28,720
Of course he is.

1581
01:40:30,930 --> 01:40:32,930
Does he miss us like we miss him?

1582
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,220
Oh sweetheart...

1583
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:44,180
Of course he does.

1584
01:40:53,270 --> 01:40:55,100
It’s a letter, from America!

1585
01:40:55,270 --> 01:40:56,390
Oh...

1586
01:40:57,470 --> 01:40:59,390
Since Mr. Morton has passed,

1587
01:40:59,390 --> 01:41:01,020
I know no one in America.

1588
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:02,850
You open it.

1589
01:41:11,970 --> 01:41:13,600
Wanping (V.O.): My dearest wife...

1590
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,100
When will the river no
more flow. When will my grief

1591
01:41:17,390 --> 01:41:21,020
no more grow. I wish your
heart would be like mine.

1592
01:41:21,310 --> 01:41:24,560
And not in vain for you I pine.

1593
01:41:25,180 --> 01:41:26,600
It’s been too many years since

1594
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,350
life separated us so cruelly.

1595
01:41:28,930 --> 01:41:31,560
But I still hold you dearly in my heart.

1596
01:41:32,140 --> 01:41:34,430
I have moved to America and arranged for

1597
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,140
you and our children to join me here.

1598
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:39,930
Thank you all for coming.

1599
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,560
This is truly a momentous occasion

1600
01:41:44,470 --> 01:41:45,680
where two people

1601
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,520
have a love that grows deeper

1602
01:41:50,850 --> 01:41:52,520
beyond the bonds of time,

1603
01:41:53,180 --> 01:41:55,520
through the greatest adversity

1604
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:59,220
and that love grows deeper

1605
01:41:59,970 --> 01:42:01,720
every single day.

1606
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:05,270
And it is reaffirmed here today,

1607
