1
00:00:16,746 --> 00:00:22,396
The first time I saw him
on Eric Liddell, he was running.

2
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:25,992
I remember him, looking at him...

3
00:00:25,992 --> 00:00:30,125
putting all his strength
in every step.

4
00:00:30,563 --> 00:00:34,920
I will never forget him
Eric Liddell how he ran...

5
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:40,360
Eric Liddell was running
to save my life.

6
00:01:10,363 --> 00:01:21,149
Heroes of faith
BEARERS OF TORCHES

7
00:01:21,923 --> 00:01:25,702
THE ERIC LIDDELL STORY

8
00:01:25,737 --> 00:01:28,398
We have a proverb in China...

9
00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:38,150
A life is like a piece of paper
on which every passer-by leaves a mark.

10
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:45,560
I will tell you a story. A story of
to a man called Eric Liddell...

11
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,731
And how he changed
my life forever.

12
00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:55,728
He didn't have black eyes,
not often black hair.

13
00:01:55,728 --> 00:02:00,224
He was blond with blue eyes...

14
00:02:00,224 --> 00:02:07,587
but he was born in China and China
will forever be in his heart.

15
00:02:08,561 --> 00:02:11,692
This boy has to marry me
put in the grave!

16
00:02:12,198 --> 00:02:14,991
Eric! Eric!

17
00:02:16,736 --> 00:02:17,930
Eric!

18
00:02:18,104 --> 00:02:20,669
Run like the wind!

19
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,271
That boy... Eric!

20
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:24,000
Oh James!

21
00:02:24,244 --> 00:02:27,430
Who knows, Mary, maybe his speed
it will be useful one day!

22
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:29,266
in God's work!?

23
00:02:29,266 --> 00:02:35,500
Mary dear! We have our plans
And the Lord... The Lord has his own!

24
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,250
Eric, look at you! Come on kid!
Come on kid! Run after me!

25
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:47,592
It was said "a branch grows young
branch out as much as possible."

26
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:53,810
The winds of change were blowing
that many children of missionaries,

27
00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:59,212
Erica was sent to England
at school, when he was 6 years old.

28
00:02:59,212 --> 00:03:01,560
Aren't you coming too, dad?

29
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,274
I will visit you and 
your brother how soon, eric.

30
00:03:05,485 --> 00:03:11,115
But now God needs
from us here in China,

31
00:03:11,115 --> 00:03:15,143
is where He has called us to
we do His work.

32
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:21,226
Then one day I will return to China
And I, father, to work for God here.

33
00:03:21,226 --> 00:03:24,313
Come on Eric, let's explore the ship!

34
00:03:24,313 --> 00:03:27,584
Education conditioned by school.

35
00:03:27,584 --> 00:03:32,344
Life itself will provide others
lessons to make the boy...

36
00:03:32,845 --> 00:03:34,327
... a man

37
00:03:34,798 --> 00:03:38,188
The International Triangular Competition
Great Britain, 1923, 21 years later

38
00:03:38,188 --> 00:03:41,649
The leader of the party is none other
than the national champion

39
00:03:41,649 --> 00:03:43,978
Eric Liddell, ladies and gentlemen!

40
00:03:43,978 --> 00:03:45,060
Look how it goes!

41
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:49,363
Oh, your boys have no style, Tom.
What kind of coach are you?

42
00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:54,305
This speedster continues
to win contest after contest..

43
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,295
Alas! Liddell stopped,
amazing!

44
00:04:00,295 --> 00:04:03,139
Eric Liddell continued
the contest! But...

45
00:04:03,139 --> 00:04:05,287
There is no way he can win!

46
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:07,045
Keep an eye on him!

47
00:04:08,114 --> 00:04:12,361
Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen,
Liddell recovers...

48
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:18,121
... hands fly, knees raised,
head back, eyes up...

49
00:04:18,121 --> 00:04:21,870
And loose like a rabbit
who is running for his life!

50
00:04:22,463 --> 00:04:25,710
What was I told?

51
00:04:26,966 --> 00:04:28,863
Then!

52
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:35,687
Mr. McKerchar! He succeeded!
He joined the team!

53
00:04:35,687 --> 00:04:38,257
Of course he entered!
What did you expect?

54
00:04:38,511 --> 00:04:40,478
How are you doing, Eric?

55
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:44,111
Me? I just hate to lose, that's all.

56
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:49,196
No, seriously, I'm running as fast as I can
first half and then...

57
00:04:49,196 --> 00:04:50,363
...then?

58
00:04:50,363 --> 00:04:52,907
I ask God to help me
in the second half.

59
00:04:52,907 --> 00:04:56,009
Then He helped you
all the way to the Olympics in Paris!

60
00:04:56,009 --> 00:04:57,022
What?

61
00:04:57,022 --> 00:05:00,373
Hundred meter sprint at
Olympics, Eric! Your strong point!

62
00:05:00,373 --> 00:05:03,353
The Olympics!?
Did I qualify?

63
00:05:03,536 --> 00:05:07,863
You are a winner, no doubt
Eric! You will be an Olympic champion!

64
00:05:07,863 --> 00:05:10,215
- For Scotland!
- For Great Britain!

65
00:05:15,214 --> 00:05:16,261
Oh God...!

66
00:05:16,261 --> 00:05:19,762
I'm afraid it could be a little problem!

67
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:23,211
A disappointment for the whole country!

68
00:05:23,211 --> 00:05:28,561
National Champion Eric Liddell, sure one
winner of fire, who could take the gold

69
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:32,852
for England, he refuses to participate
in the Olympics that come because

70
00:05:32,852 --> 00:05:36,626
his competition is on sunday!

71
00:05:36,626 --> 00:05:38,989
Some consider it a shame!

72
00:05:38,989 --> 00:05:43,833
A traitor! That's what I call it!
A disappointment for our own people!

73
00:05:43,833 --> 00:05:46,291
As one member said
from the Olympic Committee:

74
00:05:46,291 --> 00:05:51,714
"If you ask me, the first is the country,
second god That's the order!"

75
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:56,678
I'm not going!

76
00:05:56,678 --> 00:05:59,877
No, Eric. Let's be reasonable.
Come on...

77
00:05:59,877 --> 00:06:04,648
I do what God expects of me, that is 
the most rational thing I can do, Tom.

78
00:06:04,648 --> 00:06:09,746
But it's the Olympics, for heaven's sake!
This is what every athlete dreams of!

79
00:06:09,746 --> 00:06:16,138
Me too, of course Tom but...
God first and athletics second.

80
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:23,482
Listen Tom. I appreciate everything you have done
for me and I hate to disappoint you, but...

81
00:06:23,482 --> 00:06:29,096
I promised God the best.
And my best is to honor Him.

82
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:34,831
I know better to argue with you
Eric, but it seems to me that if you want

83
00:06:34,831 --> 00:06:38,613
truly honor God
you have an opportunity right in front of you!

84
00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:41,874
God has his ways, Tom and I
I don't doubt them.

85
00:06:41,874 --> 00:06:45,862
If this costs me the Olympics,
then so be it.

86
00:06:45,862 --> 00:06:47,939
I'm sorry, but...

87
00:06:54,447 --> 00:07:00,319
A traitor. That's what they called it.
One who disappointed his people.

88
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:07,654
... then one day, I will die
I'm going back to China too, dad.

89
00:07:09,824 --> 00:07:13,698
... it seems to me that if you want
truly honor God

90
00:07:13,698 --> 00:07:16,736
you have an opportunity right in front of you.

91
00:07:19,238 --> 00:07:25,414
Some say I don't thank You, that I am
a traitor, but God, you don't have to

92
00:07:25,414 --> 00:07:30,629
to honor You by obeying Your commands
And on the Holy Sabbath?

93
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:38,425
I don't have much, Father, but I love You
And I want to use everything You gave me

94
00:07:38,425 --> 00:07:43,817
for Your glory, here and in China,
liked or despised.

95
00:07:43,817 --> 00:07:48,341
God, whatever you want, I'm here!

96
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:55,324
Eric! Eric! Wake up!

97
00:07:57,544 --> 00:08:00,246
Eric! Eric!

98
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:04,028
Tom? what time is it

99
00:08:04,028 --> 00:08:07,649
It's time to pack,
this is the time!

100
00:08:07,649 --> 00:08:10,886
What? What are you talking about, Tom?

101
00:08:10,886 --> 00:08:12,980
It is 200 meters!

102
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:17,330
It does not take place on Sunday
And the committee said yes!

103
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:23,985
They said you can put it in
200 and maybe even 400, Eric!

104
00:08:23,985 --> 00:08:26,348
What? What do you mean?

105
00:08:26,348 --> 00:08:31,674
What I mean, Mr. Liddell,
is that you are going to the Olympics!

106
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:34,036
Go to the Olympics!

107
00:08:34,036 --> 00:08:37,413
What? But I'm not ready for
none of these contests, i...

108
00:08:37,413 --> 00:08:43,589
Don't think about it, boy! It will be!
We will prepare you, because

109
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:47,322
go to the Olympics!
Go to the Olympics!

110
00:08:47,426 --> 00:08:49,053
Be quiet there!

111
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:51,695
 ��, be quiet
disgruntled old man!

112
00:08:51,695 --> 00:08:55,194
Eric Liddell is going to the Olympics!

113
00:08:56,769 --> 00:09:03,616
It is said that, "The journey of 1000 miles
"It starts with one step."

114
00:09:03,616 --> 00:09:10,908
And following God's call, for Eric
It even means one step at a time.

115
00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:13,340
At the Olympics.

116
00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:18,736
It is a very hot day in Paris,
today when the runners are preparing

117
00:09:18,736 --> 00:09:20,675
for the 400 meter race.

118
00:09:20,675 --> 00:09:22,460
Participating in the event...

119
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:26,849
Imback for Switzerland, Coard Taylor and
Horatio Fitch for the Americans

120
00:09:26,849 --> 00:09:30,902
And for Great Britain:
Guy Butler and Eric Liddell,

121
00:09:30,902 --> 00:09:34,970
Scottish national champion who
had refused to run in the race of

122
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:38,630
100 meters, because it was Sunday.

123
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:46,149
The Bible says: "He who honors Me,
I will honor him too."

124
00:09:46,149 --> 00:09:49,115
On the seats!

125
00:09:53,292 --> 00:09:55,577
Be ready!

126
00:10:10,977 --> 00:10:15,278
They passed the last bend! Liddell
He's still driving! Oh, God!

127
00:10:15,278 --> 00:10:17,610
And increases the advance and moves forward.

128
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:20,447
Oh, what a race, ladies
Gentlemen! What a course!

129
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,613
I run as fast as I can
for the first half

130
00:10:23,613 --> 00:10:27,242
And then I trust in God
for the second.

131
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:35,223
You did it, Eric!
You succeeded, my boy!

132
00:10:35,223 --> 00:10:38,671
Eric Liddell! Eric Liddell ladies
And gentlemen, he won the contest!

133
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:42,875
And a more suitable winner
could.. Eric Liddell, Gold Medal

134
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:47,789
Champion at 400 meters.
Oh God, what a contest!

135
00:10:48,704 --> 00:10:50,683
Keep on winning!

136
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:54,562
If Liddell is in the competition, you can
be sure to take the medal home.

137
00:10:54,562 --> 00:10:58,424
A busy man with a busy schedule
contests, meetings, speeches.

138
00:10:58,424 --> 00:11:02,669
Eric Liddell is truly a
national sensation!

139
00:11:06,365 --> 00:11:11,584
Chinese wisdom teaches that:
"Gold is tested by fire

140
00:11:11,584 --> 00:11:14,993
And man is tested by gold."

141
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:21,950
If only people thought that Eric
he changed his mind about it

142
00:11:21,950 --> 00:11:28,564
with his athletic career, when 
it was decided to leave England, it would be wrong.

143
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:41,070
He ran for God in Paris and now,
God called him back to China.

144
00:11:41,901 --> 00:11:48,499
Eric followed God with
the same zeal with which he ran.

145
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:57,053
Eric honored God. and
now God has honored Eric.

146
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:22,426
He filled stadiums with his victories
and corridors with people

147
00:12:22,526 --> 00:12:28,383
willing to listen to him talk about
God and now, at the climax

148
00:12:28,383 --> 00:12:32,204
of success, Eric Liddell
leave everything behind.

149
00:12:33,521 --> 00:12:37,048
You will bring back the medals,
Mr. Liddell?

150
00:12:37,048 --> 00:12:39,879
Will he be a running champion in China?

151
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:44,423
Ah, boy, the Lord asked me,
to run a different course.

152
00:12:47,666 --> 00:12:54,573
Christ for the world, because
the world needs Christ!

153
00:12:57,497 --> 00:13:01,184
Goodbye! Goodbye!

154
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:19,275
12 years later

155
00:13:20,626 --> 00:13:22,715
Thank you!

156
00:13:26,367 --> 00:13:29,222
Come back, little rabbit!

157
00:13:29,222 --> 00:13:32,226
Now why is it to me
is this thing so familiar?

158
00:13:32,226 --> 00:13:37,206
Maybe because it's the same as him
her father.. run, run, run!

159
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:42,995
I remember, dear, that it would be 
we better get to the stadium.

160
00:13:42,995 --> 00:13:46,805
I have to run
for ``school''. Funny!

161
00:13:46,805 --> 00:13:50,541
Here I was on the mission field
as a teacher all these years and more

162
00:13:50,541 --> 00:13:51,894
God makes me run again!

163
00:13:51,894 --> 00:13:55,064
Well, it's a good way to approach
by your Chinese students.

164
00:13:55,064 --> 00:13:57,981
Think how many came to see him
know God through our work.

165
00:13:57,981 --> 00:13:58,978
Pastor Liddell!

166
00:13:58,978 --> 00:14:05,366
Are you coming to the stadium now? We will encourage you!
We encourage you! what are you saying

167
00:14:07,528 --> 00:14:09,143
Thank you.

168
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:12,055
They are the future of China.

169
00:14:12,055 --> 00:14:15,544
I am worried about their future!

170
00:14:15,544 --> 00:14:20,108
Word goes that the Japanese are closer
than we expected an invasion.

171
00:14:20,143 --> 00:14:23,044
And it is more safe
inside the foreign campus.

172
00:14:23,044 --> 00:14:27,698
We are under the protection of Europe,
praise God for that.

173
00:14:32,438 --> 00:14:36,140
Eric's students loved
to see him run.

174
00:14:36,140 --> 00:14:39,469
It was a relative time
peace to Eric

175
00:14:39,469 --> 00:14:44,012
until the invasion changed
In a normal war.

176
00:14:44,012 --> 00:14:46,082
Everything is ready.

177
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:50,890
What? Heather! Catch Heather!

178
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:55,508
Run away! Run away! Run to the campus!

179
00:15:03,770 --> 00:15:07,148
I sleep peacefully now.

180
00:15:07,674 --> 00:15:10,410
What do you think...?

181
00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:14,619
I think it should stay!

182
00:15:14,619 --> 00:15:17,374
But you and the girls 
I think it's better..

183
00:15:17,374 --> 00:15:22,725
Eric Liddell, you are my husband.
My place is next to you!

184
00:15:22,725 --> 00:15:29,730
God called us here and until He
indicates otherwise, we will stay here as a family.

185
00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:32,570
God will take care of us.

186
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:33,935
what is eric

187
00:15:33,935 --> 00:15:37,811
I was asked to go through the places of
around to help carry the wounded

188
00:15:37,811 --> 00:15:41,853
at the hospital in Xiaochan, it would mean to be
away for a while and.. I think c� 

189
00:15:41,853 --> 00:15:43,644
God wants me to go.

190
00:15:43,644 --> 00:15:46,290
But the Japanese army...

191
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:50,853
I know, but we are here to help them
the Chinese... are under attack

192
00:15:50,853 --> 00:15:53,487
And the villagers need
encouragement and help.

193
00:15:53,487 --> 00:15:56,702
There have been reports that it is
great suffering.

194
00:15:56,702 --> 00:16:05,834
I heard it said: "Even a small light
one can see miles when everything is dark".

195
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:11,401
I'm dying... I want to die...

196
00:16:11,438 --> 00:16:19,350
I was wounded and I was dying
when Eric Liddell found me.

197
00:16:20,614 --> 00:16:24,822
Eric risked his life to save the wounded.

198
00:16:24,822 --> 00:16:29,609
while his family remained in it
safer area, he took me

199
00:16:29,609 --> 00:16:32,702
And others at a hospital.

200
00:16:32,702 --> 00:16:38,144
Eric saved my life...
but I just wanted to die.

201
00:16:44,259 --> 00:16:50,907
It's fine. take this
it will make you feel better.

202
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:59,050
He is hurt very badly.

203
00:16:59,050 --> 00:17:03,184
The sword cut very deep.
Other people died.

204
00:17:03,184 --> 00:17:06,751
It will take time to heal.
Deep wound.

205
00:17:06,751 --> 00:17:11,160
Yes, Wang, it will take a while
to heal.

206
00:17:26,779 --> 00:17:28,549
How is the patient?

207
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:34,015
It's much better! He needs it
of rest, but it's much better!

208
00:17:34,015 --> 00:17:36,373
Ni-how-ma,
Hoo-Shu!

209
00:17:36,373 --> 00:17:38,931
Why are you laughing, you fool?

210
00:17:38,931 --> 00:17:39,826
What?

211
00:17:39,826 --> 00:17:43,757
Only a stupid man does
the stupid thing you are doing!

212
00:17:43,757 --> 00:17:46,575
You're a loser, you fool.

213
00:17:46,575 --> 00:17:51,567
You are a man who is not good in your country,
because you are a servant of ours.

214
00:17:51,567 --> 00:17:59,118
He is not a loser! We found you and saved you.
I brought you and the others here!

215
00:17:59,118 --> 00:18:02,124
Say "thank you"!
Don't be displeased!

216
00:18:02,124 --> 00:18:05,631
Let him talk like that with
you mr liddell ?

217
00:18:05,631 --> 00:18:08,210
I've been called worse, Wang.

218
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:16,457
What else is he here for, he's a loser!
Pay peanuts, get monkey heads!

219
00:18:16,457 --> 00:18:19,460
Ah, Chinese proverb?
I'll give him one!

220
00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:23,325
"The donkey's lips don't match
with the horse's mouth."

221
00:18:23,325 --> 00:18:26,364
But there you go, donkey's lips
And they fit very well.

222
00:18:26,364 --> 00:18:27,663
Wang!

223
00:18:27,707 --> 00:18:34,536
I want to get out of here... to go home.
Let me get well there!

224
00:18:34,536 --> 00:18:43,149
It's not Chinese here...it's not good!
It's bad here! It's cold!

225
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:50,145
I understood that you paint.

226
00:18:50,145 --> 00:18:53,572
We could use some paintings
inside the hospital.

227
00:18:53,572 --> 00:18:55,495
Something nice to light up...

228
00:18:55,495 --> 00:18:58,435
Do you want beauties?
Do you want light paintings?

229
00:18:58,435 --> 00:19:02,033
Look at the beauty!
Look at the bright painting!

230
00:19:02,033 --> 00:19:08,033
Not a painting! Do you want paintings?
Look here and it's the painting, stupid man!

231
00:19:09,428 --> 00:19:11,606
I should have let myself die!

232
00:19:11,606 --> 00:19:12,032
No!

233
00:19:12,032 --> 00:19:15,878
I should have let myself die!

234
00:19:26,881 --> 00:19:31,745
Don't worry, Pastor Liddell.
We are sending it out soon.

235
00:19:31,745 --> 00:19:34,790
We get rid of dissatisfied people!

236
00:19:34,790 --> 00:19:37,043
His wound is almost healed.

237
00:19:37,043 --> 00:19:40,955
No, Wang, not because of that wound
I'm worried!

238
00:19:40,955 --> 00:19:43,042
He has one much deeper than that.

239
00:19:43,042 --> 00:19:47,189
God is patient with each of us,
Wang and we must be patient

240
00:19:47,189 --> 00:19:49,749
with Hui-Shu as well.

241
00:19:57,348 --> 00:19:59,867
Where did the madman go?

242
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:06,391
We don't have enough coal. Mr. Liddell has
volunteered to bring to the hospital.

243
00:20:06,391 --> 00:20:10,203
It is a dangerous journey!
The soldiers will stop him.

244
00:20:10,203 --> 00:20:16,119
Mr. Liddell, he knows that!
He knows we need coal.

245
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,776
He has no family.
He has nothing to lose!

246
00:20:19,776 --> 00:20:25,983
No, no! He has a wife and two daughters!
He is a happy man with a family!

247
00:20:25,983 --> 00:20:29,277
He is a champion
a hero in his country!

248
00:20:29,277 --> 00:20:34,662
Why is he doing this?
Why is he here and not with his family?

249
00:20:34,662 --> 00:20:38,508
I don't understand this man!
Why does he do it?

250
00:20:38,508 --> 00:20:41,420
Do you like proverbs?
Here's a good one:

251
00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:49,926
People don't light candles and hide them,
but I put the candle where

252
00:20:49,926 --> 00:20:54,145
give light to the whole house!

253
00:20:54,145 --> 00:20:56,897
Mr. Liddell..
he taught me this!

254
00:20:56,897 --> 00:21:02,538
Jesus, the Light of God
filled Mr. Liddell's heart.

255
00:21:02,538 --> 00:21:07,143
Jesus came and showed love
of God to all people.

256
00:21:07,143 --> 00:21:16,498
Mr. Liddell does the same as Jesus did
my heart taught me now too

257
00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:19,958
it is full of love
of God and light!

258
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:29,010
You are crazier than the mad man!

259
00:21:38,897 --> 00:21:41,808
Oh, he came back safely.

260
00:22:06,985 --> 00:22:13,021
You have a very beautiful family, Hui-Shu.
They probably miss him a lot.

261
00:22:14,879 --> 00:22:16,732
Hui-Shu?

262
00:22:17,869 --> 00:22:20,001
Okay, Eric!
We better go.

263
00:22:20,001 --> 00:22:22,314
We have a few hours to go
And the sooner we leave

264
00:22:22,314 --> 00:22:24,450
the faster it will be
See your family.

265
00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:27,312
- Thank you, Harry.
- Let's go!

266
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:33,961
Welcome back Mr Liddell!

267
00:22:33,961 --> 00:22:36,714
where is mrs liddell

268
00:22:36,714 --> 00:22:39,942
I thought you were going to leave
are you bringing the family?

269
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:44,053
No Wang, not to bring
to take them!

270
00:22:44,053 --> 00:22:49,203
I took them to a ferry. I sent them
away to be safe!

271
00:22:49,203 --> 00:22:52,374
They're not here, Wang, they're gone.

272
00:22:52,374 --> 00:22:58,973
But Mr. Liddell, why didn't you go
and you with them? Why did you stay?

273
00:22:58,973 --> 00:23:03,453
Because he stayed 
to help us.

274
00:23:03,453 --> 00:23:07,057
Because he loves our people!

275
00:23:08,066 --> 00:23:09,972
Hoo-Shu!

276
00:23:11,026 --> 00:23:16,544
You are a good man.
You gave so much for us.

277
00:23:16,544 --> 00:23:19,281
What's the matter, Hui-Shu?

278
00:23:19,281 --> 00:23:23,639
Do you know why I don't want to live?
do you know why

279
00:23:23,639 --> 00:23:29,951
I was a happy man before.
I had a good wife and children

280
00:23:29,951 --> 00:23:33,113
and a happy family!

281
00:23:33,910 --> 00:23:38,280
I had good work
I lost everything!

282
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:45,998
My wife! My children!
Everything! I lost everything!

283
00:23:45,825 --> 00:23:51,190
When the Japanese came,
they told me to worship them.

284
00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:52,990
I said "No!".

285
00:23:52,990 --> 00:23:54,845
Bend over!

286
00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:57,051
Bend over!

287
00:23:57,502 --> 00:24:00,816
We are Chinese. We
only in respect do we bow.

288
00:24:00,816 --> 00:24:05,877
I didn't bow down to them..
I spat in his face!

289
00:24:05,877 --> 00:24:11,650
They took a sword and
they cut off my head!

290
00:24:13,368 --> 00:24:19,607
You have been through a lot of pain.
I feel sorry for your family.

291
00:24:20,099 --> 00:24:28,065
I'm not crying for that! With a lot of time
Finally, I cried all the tears...

292
00:24:28,065 --> 00:24:32,156
I cry because I lost everything.

293
00:24:32,156 --> 00:24:38,406
But you, I see that you give up everything
of course!

294
00:24:38,406 --> 00:24:41,260
You lose everything for me!

295
00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:44,762
You lose everything for me!

296
00:24:44,762 --> 00:24:49,318
I lose everything for you
as Jesus did for me.

297
00:24:49,318 --> 00:24:52,876
Just like Jesus did for me.

298
00:24:57,009 --> 00:25:01,467
what is that noise
What's going on, Wang?

299
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:04,847
The hospital is evacuated!

300
00:25:04,847 --> 00:25:09,569
The Japanese came and got it
they closed the hospital.

301
00:25:09,569 --> 00:25:13,511
They ordered all the foreigners to leave.

302
00:25:13,511 --> 00:25:16,695
I take them back to foreign places.

303
00:25:16,695 --> 00:25:18,428
All of them?

304
00:25:18,428 --> 00:25:25,891
Yes. He is no longer here!
Mr. Liddell.. gone!

305
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:30,604
In a surprise attack, yesterday morning
a fleet of 350 Japanese aircraft

306
00:25:30,604 --> 00:25:34,810
they stormed Pearl Harbor
on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

307
00:25:34,810 --> 00:25:39,457
The destruction and loss of human lives is
Scary. It is estimated almost...

308
00:25:39,457 --> 00:25:43,487
Foreigners had become national enemies
And they were ordered to

309
00:25:43,487 --> 00:25:46,500
transfer to a camp.

310
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,511
They were taken in groups
on designated days.

311
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:54,600
Eric Liddell was forced to go.

312
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:29,438
Hoo-Shu!

313
00:26:29,438 --> 00:26:32,714
Mr. Eric! Mr. Eric!

314
00:26:32,714 --> 00:26:34,342
Hoo-Shu!

315
00:26:34,342 --> 00:26:39,454
Oh, Mr. Liddell! I am so happy
to see you! So happy!

316
00:26:40,267 --> 00:26:43,007
This is for you.

317
00:26:43,007 --> 00:26:45,478
For you, Mr. Eric.

318
00:26:45,478 --> 00:26:47,140
The painting says:

319
00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:51,732
The people who live in the dark
they saw a great light,

320
00:26:51,732 --> 00:26:57,958
the people who live in the valley
the shadow of death, they received the light!

321
00:26:57,958 --> 00:27:00,971
It's from the Bible.

322
00:27:01,524 --> 00:27:05,038
I see the light of God now!

323
00:27:05,038 --> 00:27:07,524
Go ahead, stranger!
Move!

324
00:27:07,524 --> 00:27:10,199
God be with you, Hui-Shu!

325
00:27:10,199 --> 00:27:13,371
How He is with you!

326
00:27:19,372 --> 00:27:21,791
Mr. Eric!

327
00:27:29,352 --> 00:27:35,180
We Chinese only bow
to those we respect, Mr. Eric.

328
00:27:35,180 --> 00:27:41,527
The Chinese say: "When you bow,
make deep bows, all the way down."

329
00:27:48,937 --> 00:27:54,377
I will pray for you
Hoo-Shu! I will pray!

330
00:27:54,377 --> 00:28:00,661
The first time I saw Eric Liddell
he was running to save my life.

331
00:28:00,661 --> 00:28:05,522
He ran for God,
he lived for God

332
00:28:05,522 --> 00:28:13,442
And he was ready to follow God,
wherever God led him.

333
00:28:13,593 --> 00:28:20,438
We have a proverb in China:
"The water from a distance will not extinguish it

334
00:28:20,438 --> 00:28:23,401
the fire that is near."

335
00:28:23,401 --> 00:28:30,608
Our country was like a desert.
Eric Liddell came to bring living water.

336
00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:35,667
He did not win gold medals here.
He won our hearts.

337
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:40,202
and for this reason,
for some of us in China

338
00:28:40,202 --> 00:28:45,134
Eric Liddell will be forever
a champion.

339
00:28:51,655 --> 00:28:57,480
Many of us lose something in life
because we are the second place.

340
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,753
I put before you what I found
as the best.

341
00:29:01,753 --> 00:29:06,869
One who deserves all our devotion
- Jesus Christ.

342
00:29:06,869 --> 00:29:16,093
He is Savior for the young or the old.
And only He can bring out the best in us.

343
00:29:16,093 --> 00:29:20,113
God, I'm here.

344
00:29:23,623 --> 00:29:28,221
Eric Liddell was held as a prisoner
2 years in Weihsien, in the camp.

345
00:29:28,221 --> 00:29:34,195
together with more than 2,000 people,
including 327 children, until his death

346
00:29:34,195 --> 00:29:37,723
of head tumor
in January 1945.

347
00:29:37,723 --> 00:29:42,500
When the news of his death spread,
memorial services were held for Eric Liddell

348
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:48,379
all over the world, at sporting events,
religious, conferences, in schools, faculties and

349
00:29:48,379 --> 00:29:50,709
universities around the world.

350
00:29:50,709 --> 00:29:54,611
His Olympic triumph and devotion
or before God were described in

351
00:29:54,611 --> 00:29:57,661
the movie "Chariots of Fire"
who was awarded the Oscar for

352
00:29:57,661 --> 00:29:59,878
the best movie of 1981.

353
00:29:59,878 --> 00:30:03,442
Camp survivors
they told how it continued

354
00:30:03,442 --> 00:30:09,231
to serve others as well as Christ,
the influence he had in their lives.

355
00:30:09,231 --> 00:30:13,734
Schools and institutions were named 
after him and the athletes

356
00:30:13,734 --> 00:30:16,057
influenced by his conviction.

357
00:30:16,057 --> 00:30:20,680
His heritage in China, a country that
shortly after the war, it became closer

358
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,788
of the Gospel, it was permanent.

359
00:30:22,788 --> 00:30:27,697
Where the camp once was, there is one
monument commemorating Eric Liddell,

360
00:30:27,697 --> 00:30:30,833
a man whose sincere obedience
and love for God

361
00:30:30,833 --> 00:30:35,367
a testimony remains to this day.
