Ah Ying?

13
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,083
Ah Ying!

14
00:06:26,458 --> 00:06:28,666
Where has this child run off to?

15
00:06:30,708 --> 00:06:31,833
Ah Ying?

16
00:06:36,083 --> 00:06:37,083
Ah Ying.

17
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,125
What happened to you?

18
00:06:45,291 --> 00:06:47,041
Did your classmates bully you again?

19
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,083
Ah Ying.

20
00:06:58,625 --> 00:06:59,750
Ah Ying.

21
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:02,125
Whatever happened, just let it go.

22
00:07:02,791 --> 00:07:04,250
Let's just be patient.

23
00:07:04,666 --> 00:07:06,416
It will pass soon.

24
00:07:11,583 --> 00:07:13,875
Alright, stop wiping it now.

25
00:07:14,375 --> 00:07:16,125
Mother will help you change
into a new shirt.

26
00:07:19,083 --> 00:07:21,125
Let's get all dressed up and pretty.

(Datuk Gong)

31
00:08:28,416 --> 00:08:29,874
Next time,

32
00:08:29,875 --> 00:08:34,082
don't let them hang pork
on the stage again, understood?

33
00:08:34,083 --> 00:08:37,374
Datuk Gong, this disciple understands.

34
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:38,625
I beg for your forgiveness.

35
00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:43,124
My calculations are never wrong.

36
00:08:43,125 --> 00:08:46,040
This child was born under an unlucky moon.

37
00:08:46,041 --> 00:08:47,791
Hard to discipline.

38
00:08:48,125 --> 00:08:52,290
Naturally rebellious,
always looking for trouble.

39
00:08:52,291 --> 00:08:55,040
This child must be placed
under my protection.

40
00:08:55,041 --> 00:08:58,499
Only then will he succeed in the future.

41
00:08:58,500 --> 00:08:59,541
Did you hear me?

42
00:09:00,041 --> 00:09:01,624
I hear you, Datuk Gong,
your disciple understands.

43
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:05,458
Please, Datuk Gong,
tame my child, I beg of you.

44
00:09:06,291 --> 00:09:09,000
Very well, from this day on,

45
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:12,291
I take him as my godson.

46
00:09:12,875 --> 00:09:16,457
And with this kris as my witness,

47
00:09:16,458 --> 00:09:20,916
I shall use my own blood
to tame this child.

48

<i>it is the father's fault.</i>

51
00:10:10,666 --> 00:10:13,458
<i>From now on, you must follow my,
Tun Seri Lanang's, teachings.</i>

52
00:10:13,583 --> 00:10:16,124
If you do not obey,

53
00:10:16,125 --> 00:10:18,833
the Ramayana will destroy you!

People of the nation, let's vote!

60
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:07,499
Choose the candidate you respect.

61
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:12,165

He's a Hokkien boy.

68
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:50,958
He doesn't like Teochew
salted fish, give it to me.

69
00:11:52,375 --> 00:11:53,415
Last night's performance
of "The Six Kingdoms' Grand Investiture,"

70
00:11:53,416 --> 00:11:56,124
the way your mother pushed
the cart was truly beautiful.

71
00:11:56,125 --> 00:11:59,625
Of course, she is the lead actress
of the provincial troupe.

72
00:12:00,875 --> 00:12:02,957
Is she performing in tonight's show?

73
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:03,833
She's resting today.

74
00:12:03,834 --> 00:12:06,624
She made plans with friends to see
the 7 o'clock show at the Cathay Cinema.

75
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,040
I'm taking the lead tonight.

76
00:12:08,041 --> 00:12:09,916
Come early to get a good seat!

77
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:12,374
What a coincidence, I'm going
to the Cathay for a movie tonight too.

78
00:12:12,375 --> 00:12:14,250
I'll catch your show next time.

79
00:12:37,333 --> 00:12:38,458
Sir,

80
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:41,957
is your name Liang Fu?

81
00:12:41,958 --> 00:12:42,750
Yes, it is.

82
00:12:42,750 --> 00:12:43,750
This is yours.

83
00:12:45,208 --> 00:12:46,374
Thank you so much!

84
00:12:46,375 --> 00:12:47,957
You've really been a huge help.

85
00:12:47,958 --> 00:12:49,249
Now that I have the blue citizen ID card,

86
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:51,000
everything will be much
easier from now on.

87
00:12:52,416 --> 00:12:53,790
And your red resident ID card?

88
00:12:53,791 --> 00:12:55,333
Hand it over for me to collect.

89
00:12:58,416 --> 00:12:59,708
Thank you so much.

90
00:13:02,958 --> 00:13:03,833
Officer,

91
00:13:03,833 --> 00:13:04,458
yes?

92
00:13:04,459 --> 00:13:07,999
I went to the government
building personally last year

93
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,249
to apply for blue cards
for the two of them.

94
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,583
It's already been a year.

95
00:13:13,958 --> 00:13:15,790
Why is there still no news?

96
00:13:15,791 --> 00:13:17,583
Officer, what should I do?

97
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,208
Are they both your biological children?

98
00:13:22,708 --> 00:13:26,082
My daughter was born in China back then.

99
00:13:26,083 --> 00:13:29,582
My son was originally
from a Hokkien opera troupe.

100
00:13:29,583 --> 00:13:32,165
His mother passed away long ago.

101
00:13:32,166 --> 00:13:34,415
He came here from China
when he was very young to make a living.

102
00:13:34,416 --> 00:13:37,290
I took him into my Cantonese
troupe as my godson.

103
00:13:37,291 --> 00:13:39,083
It's been many years now.

104
00:13:40,708 --> 00:13:43,583
You need a birth certificate to apply.

105
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:48,125
Did you build this Cantonese
opera stage yourself?

106
00:13:48,916 --> 00:13:50,165
Do you have the government permit?

107
00:13:50,166 --> 00:13:51,166
Yes, we do.

108
00:13:51,167 --> 00:13:52,457
Really? - Yes, we do.

109
00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:56,333
I'll have an official come over
to inspect it shortly.

110
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,083
We're here.

111
00:14:42,791 --> 00:14:44,999
Sir, please drive a bit further ahead.

112
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,499
We shouldn't get off here.

113
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:48,375
Let's park at the mosque ahead.

114
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:07,374
<i>By imperial decree,
the scholar travels the golden path.</i>

115

<i>After parting from my wife,
she gave birth to our child.</i>

116
00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:16,125
<i>Oh, so it's a fairy descending
from the terrace.</i>

117
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:24,750
Ah Gui,

118
00:16:25,250 --> 00:16:26,499
hurry up!

119
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:27,583
Where is Ah Yao's school uniform?

120
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:29,250
Right here.

121
00:16:38,666 --> 00:16:40,499
You two women,

122
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:42,624
still wearing Nyonya
outfits when going out?

123
00:16:42,625 --> 00:16:44,500
Afraid people won't know
you're of Nyonya descent?

124
00:16:45,250 --> 00:16:46,624
I told you to be quick long ago.

125
00:16:46,625 --> 00:16:48,749
You insisted on waiting
for Ah Ying to finish school.

126
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:50,791
Datuk Gong is already angry from waiting!

127
00:16:52,416 --> 00:16:53,958
Keep your voices down.

128
00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:57,958
Did I say I was going
to bring Ah Ying's uniform?

129
00:17:00,375 --> 00:17:01,375
I thought since we were coming anyway,

130
00:17:01,376 --> 00:17:04,457
we could get a blessing
stamp on her uniform.

131
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:06,499
Ah Ying has exams next month.

132
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:10,458
What's the point of stamping
a uniform for a Malay school?

133
00:17:11,625 --> 00:17:13,166
And you made it all dirty.

134
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:14,583
Take it back!

135
00:17:16,041 --> 00:17:17,750
Ah Yao,

136
00:17:18,041 --> 00:17:20,582
you haven't eaten since you got out
of school, have you?

137
00:17:20,583 --> 00:17:21,916
Get to the back and start praying!

138
00:17:35,541 --> 00:17:38,250
It's for Datuk Gong to enjoy.

140
00:18:13,541 --> 00:18:14,791
He can get up now.

141
00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:17,208
Go sit over there first.

142
00:18:17,666 --> 00:18:18,750
Come, sit down.

143
00:18:20,958 --> 00:18:22,541

Ah Gui,

153
00:21:23,541 --> 00:21:24,791
take this back for me.

154
00:21:25,333 --> 00:21:27,332
The theater manager just
gave me two tickets.

The 7 o'clock showing of "The Heartless
Man" at the Cathay is about to start.

156
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:33,375
You two should head back first.

157
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:36,208
Or better yet, don't go.

158
00:21:42,375 --> 00:21:43,832
Otherwise, before the movie,

159
00:21:43,833 --> 00:21:46,082
remember to buy some bread
for Ah Yao to eat.

160
00:21:46,083 --> 00:21:47,083
I know.

161
00:21:47,583 --> 00:21:48,625
Let's go.

162
00:22:07,666 --> 00:22:09,249
Wait until next week

when Mother has time,

164
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:12,333

<i>I understand now.</i>

176
00:23:12,583 --> 00:23:15,333
<i>It is the fresh blood
that makes the curry more flavorful.</i>

177

<i>A peerless taste, simply incomparable.</i>

Those bad men framed Dou E,

sentenced her to death,
and took her to the execution grounds.

200

The leprosy on the Emperor’s body

Mom!

361
00:52:14,750 --> 00:52:16,541
Mom.

362
00:52:18,083 --> 00:52:19,666
Mom!

00:52:26,458 --> 00:52:28,000
A-Gui.

364
00:52:28,416 --> 00:52:30,041
A-Yao.

00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:19,040
<i>The sunset slowly sinks in the west.</i>

366
00:53:19,041 --> 00:53:25,665
<i>Before my eyes is a desolate scene.</i>

367
00:53:25,666 --> 00:53:29,040
<i>Withered leaves drift with the wind.</i>

368
00:53:29,041 --> 00:53:34,500
<i>A thousand-year-old
tree weathered by storms</i>

369
00:53:35,583 --> 00:53:38,790
<i>I love you so deeply.</i>

370
00:53:38,791 --> 00:53:42,082
<i>And I resent you so deeply.</i>

371
00:53:42,083 --> 00:53:48,250
<i>Oaths and promises cannot
withstand ethics and human feelings</i>

372
00:53:48,791 --> 00:53:52,249
<i>I ask the west wind,
I ask the white clouds.</i>

373
00:53:52,250 --> 00:53:55,499
<i>Is this just fate?</i>

374
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:58,832
<i>Ah…</i>

375
00:53:58,833 --> 00:54:03,916
<i>The heartless one.</i>

376
00:54:04,375 --> 00:54:11,833
<i>The heartless one.</i>

377
00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:17,540
<i>After the implementation of the curfew,</i>

378
00:54:17,541 --> 00:54:23,457
<i>many Muslim citizens were unable
to go to the mosque to pray.</i>

379
00:54:23,458 --> 00:54:25,749
<i>This is unavoidable,</i>

380
00:54:25,750 --> 00:54:30,624
<i>but Muslims can pray at home.</i>

381
00:54:30,625 --> 00:54:35,165
<i>Let us pray to Allah together,</i>

382
00:54:35,166 --> 00:54:39,957
<i>praying for our beloved homeland
to return to peace soon.</i>

383
00:54:39,958 --> 00:54:42,916
Dad, where are you?

384
00:54:43,791 --> 00:54:47,500
It hurts.

385
00:54:51,208 --> 00:54:52,458
Mom.

386
00:54:53,041 --> 00:54:54,125
Little sister.

387
00:54:59,791 --> 00:55:01,374
Where are you all?

388
00:55:01,375 --> 00:55:04,708
It hurts…

389
00:55:24,958 --> 00:55:32,833
(Muslim morning prayer)

390
00:56:13,416 --> 00:56:19,291

Lok Si Temple, Penang)

391
00:56:31,166 --> 00:56:37,375
(4 days after the 14th
Malaysian General Election)

392
00:56:54,958 --> 00:56:57,333
Hey, what time is it?

393
00:56:58,208 --> 00:56:59,457
The sun is high up
and you’re still sleeping?

394
00:56:59,458 --> 00:57:01,291
Don’t you need to get up and work?

395
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:27,416
What a piece of trash!

396
00:57:47,125 --> 00:57:48,915
Don’t think I don’t know.

397
00:57:48,916 --> 00:57:49,916
You saw this report last week

398
00:57:49,917 --> 00:57:51,333
and were planning to go
to Kuala Lumpur, weren't you?

399
00:57:59,791 --> 00:58:01,750
Your mother died
and I still can’t find her grave.

400
00:58:02,125 --> 00:58:05,375
What, is it your turn now?

401
00:58:06,041 --> 00:58:07,708
You want to spend your whole life
looking for graves, is that it?

402
00:58:08,708 --> 00:58:10,207
Go find it!

403
00:58:10,208 --> 00:58:13,166
Go find it until you die!

404
00:58:13,875 --> 00:58:15,208
You bitch!

405
00:58:37,958 --> 00:58:40,332
<i>It's considered unofficial history,
and also history.</i>

406
00:58:40,333 --> 00:58:42,999
<i>Some even say her story doesn't exist.</i>

407
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,749
<i>That is Princess Hang Li Po.</i>

408
00:58:45,750 --> 00:58:48,665
<i>Actually, it's a beautiful
misunderstanding.</i>

409
00:58:48,666 --> 00:58:54,040
<i>In the Ming dynasty document "Ming Shilu,"</i>

410
00:58:54,041 --> 00:58:58,165
<i>there is absolutely no mention
of Hang Li Po's name,</i>

411
00:58:58,166 --> 00:59:02,415
<i>nor the story of her marrying
into the Malacca Sultanate.</i>

412
00:59:02,416 --> 00:59:04,665
<i>This account appears in</i>

413
00:59:04,666 --> 00:59:07,415
<i>the ancient book "Malay Annals."</i>

414
00:59:07,416 --> 00:59:08,999
<i>And the "Malay Annals" itself</i>

415
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,790
<i>is not a rigorous historical work.</i>

416
00:59:12,791 --> 00:59:15,290
<i>Some treat it as a literary work.</i>

417
00:59:15,291 --> 00:59:19,540
<i>Of course, there are some
historical facts within it,</i>

418
00:59:19,541 --> 00:59:21,499
<i>but there was a purpose
in writing this book,</i>

419
00:59:21,500 --> 00:59:26,624
<i>which was to elevate the status
of the Malacca Sultanate's rulers.</i>

420
00:59:26,625 --> 00:59:28,999
<i>It had that political purpose.</i>

421
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,374
<i>But undeniably,</i>

422
00:59:30,375 --> 00:59:32,707
<i>the story of Princess Hang Li Po</i>

423
00:59:32,708 --> 00:59:34,374
<i>from our primary
to secondary school years,</i>

424
00:59:34,375 --> 00:59:35,957
<i>has appeared in our textbooks.</i>

425
00:59:35,958 --> 00:59:38,665
<i>We've even heard this name
since we were small.</i>

426
00:59:38,666 --> 00:59:42,082
<i>It's like a mandatory chapter
in history class.</i>

427
00:59:42,083 --> 00:59:44,499
<i>She seems to have become
a cultural symbol - Yes.</i>

428
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:46,165
<i>Representing Chinese culture,</i>

429
00:59:46,166 --> 00:59:52,915
<i>or representing the friendly relations
between the Chinese and the Malays.</i>

430
00:59:52,916 --> 00:59:55,499
<i>Actually, it has since become a symbol,</i>

431
00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:57,665
<i>what you call "persisting in a mistake."</i>

432
00:59:57,666 --> 00:59:58,250
<i>Yes.</i>

433
00:59:58,666 --> 01:00:02,665
<i>And some have even adapted it
into a "Hang Li Po" play.</i>

434
01:00:02,666 --> 01:00:05,374
<i>Yes - and it was very sensational.</i>

435
01:00:05,375 --> 01:00:07,749
<i>There's even a Chinese version.</i>

436
01:00:07,750 --> 01:00:11,208
<i>So Hang Li Po is already deeply rooted.</i>

437
01:00:11,875 --> 01:00:13,540
<i>Of course, we're not criticizing anything;</i>

438
01:00:13,541 --> 01:00:15,332
<i>sometimes we really need
to clarify history.</i>

439
01:00:15,333 --> 01:00:18,249
<i>That's why I say it's
a beautiful misunderstanding.</i>

440
01:00:18,250 --> 01:00:19,750
<i>But Hang Li Po was indeed very beautiful.</i>

441
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,665
<i>Yet, no one knows what
Hang Li Po looked like.</i>

442
01:00:22,666 --> 01:00:26,832
<i>Alright, we'll continue our talk
with Dr. Liao Wen-hui later,</i>

443

<i>whether the news of the former PM

463

468
01:01:30,666 --> 01:01:32,165

Feng, where did you hide those keys again?

(Dato Gong)

492
01:08:31,791 --> 01:08:35,416
Is my brother's business
at the market okay lately?

493
01:08:36,541 --> 01:08:37,541
Hmm.

494
01:08:39,083 --> 01:08:41,707
You should be kind
and stop being so stubborn.

495
01:08:41,708 --> 01:08:43,458
You've been married
to him for so many years.

496
01:08:43,916 --> 01:08:46,541
Sometimes you should listen to his advice.

497
01:08:50,125 --> 01:08:53,291
I didn't listen to his words back then.

498
01:09:05,750 --> 01:09:07,124
<i>Hello, Datin.</i>

499
01:09:07,125 --> 01:09:09,207
<i>Are you free to talk now?</i>

500
01:09:09,208 --> 01:09:12,333
Yes, Lawyer Ma, what is it?

501
01:09:12,916 --> 01:09:15,958
<i>Just to let you know,
the Dato just came to sign.</i>

502
01:09:16,541 --> 01:09:19,125
Really? He's willing to sign?

503
01:09:19,750 --> 01:09:22,499
<i>Yes, the Dato just left, so I called you.</i>

504
01:09:22,500 --> 01:09:24,707
<i>See if you have time to come over today.</i>

505
01:09:24,708 --> 01:09:26,332
<i>I'll help you resolve this quickly.</i>

506
01:09:26,333 --> 01:09:27,333
Sure.

507
01:09:27,666 --> 01:09:31,083
I'll be there in about an hour.

508
01:09:34,916 --> 01:09:35,916
You bitch!

509
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:37,666
Where are you taking my wife?

510
01:09:38,250 --> 01:09:39,541
Get out of the car!

511
01:09:39,958 --> 01:09:41,125
Get out!

512
01:09:41,625 --> 01:09:44,707
Look at my brother!

513
01:09:44,708 --> 01:09:49,665
He's so old,
and his temper is still so explosive!

514
01:09:49,666 --> 01:09:51,874
Hey, where are you taking my wife?

515
01:09:51,875 --> 01:09:53,250
Hey, look, it's all your stuff!

516
01:09:53,708 --> 01:09:56,291
Damn it, get out!

517
01:10:02,166 --> 01:10:05,166
Oh my, you're making me
unable to see the road.

518
01:10:14,333 --> 01:10:15,500
Wait for me.

519
01:10:16,125 --> 01:10:17,125
Fatima.

520
01:10:17,291 --> 01:10:19,875
Xue-e, call me Xue-e.

521
01:10:22,208 --> 01:10:27,041
Also, talk to my brother properly
when you get home tonight.

522
01:10:27,958 --> 01:10:29,249
I and the Dato...

523
01:10:29,250 --> 01:10:30,458
Have divorced.

524
01:10:30,875 --> 01:10:34,333
At the end of this month,
I'm taking my son to Australia.

525
01:10:35,458 --> 01:10:37,541
I probably won't be back anytime soon.

526
01:10:38,708 --> 01:10:40,125
Why don't you ask him...

527
01:10:40,541 --> 01:10:42,458
If he wants to see us?

528
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,500
Even if it's just to have a meal together.

529
01:10:48,125 --> 01:10:49,999
I can eat anything now.

530
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,541
You arrange it.

531
01:11:41,791 --> 01:11:42,957
Ah Ying!

532
01:11:42,958 --> 01:11:44,832
Remember to ask my brother
when he's free for a meal.

533
01:11:44,833 --> 01:11:47,791
Okay, thanks.

534
01:11:54,625 --> 01:11:55,708
Kuala Lumpur.

535
01:12:07,416 --> 01:12:08,791
Is this the bus?

536
01:13:39,583 --> 01:13:42,458
(Teochew) Mom, I'm back
to stay for a few days.

537
01:13:46,583 --> 01:13:48,000
We'll talk when we get home.

538
01:15:02,333 --> 01:15:04,958
Ma'am, ma'am.

539
01:15:05,375 --> 01:15:06,875
Pudu, Cathay station is here.

540
01:15:07,166 --> 01:15:08,500
Get off here.

541
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:14,083
(Kuala Lumpur, Pudu,
former site of Cathay Cinema)

542
01:17:15,333 --> 01:17:23,125
(Chinese primary school)

543
01:18:08,083 --> 01:18:10,291
What would you like?

544
01:18:10,666 --> 01:18:13,374
One teh tarik, one warm water.

545
01:18:13,375 --> 01:18:14,708
Okay.

546
01:18:33,541 --> 01:18:39,583
Don't let our late troupe leader down.

547
01:18:39,958 --> 01:18:45,833
Perform the last show well today.

548
01:18:46,458 --> 01:18:51,750
Alright, let's go after finishing.

549
01:18:53,541 --> 01:18:54,708
Eat quickly.

550
01:18:55,416 --> 01:18:57,416
Right, I've paid.

551
01:19:18,250 --> 01:19:19,333
Let's go.

552
01:22:08,416 --> 01:22:09,958
Ah Gui!

553
01:22:11,291 --> 01:22:12,457
Ah Yao!

554
01:22:12,458 --> 01:22:16,208
Ah Gui!

555
01:22:42,083 --> 01:22:43,666
Ah Gui!

556
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,416
Ah Yao!

557
01:23:05,208 --> 01:23:08,208
Are you going to Sungai Buloh
to visit a relative?

558
01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:17,625
There used to be a leper hospital there.

559
01:23:18,375 --> 01:23:20,750
The hospital is still there to this day.

560
01:23:23,333 --> 01:23:26,833
Do you have a relative who caught leprosy?

561
01:23:35,791 --> 01:23:37,000
Back then...

562
01:23:38,166 --> 01:23:41,166
I often heard the elders say

563
01:23:41,958 --> 01:23:45,583
that the Chinese were most
afraid of catching leprosy.

564
01:23:46,208 --> 01:23:48,250
They didn't dare to go near that area.

565
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,375
I once had a Chinese friend,

566
01:23:59,250 --> 01:24:01,166
also a taxi driver.

567
01:24:02,125 --> 01:24:03,625
He told me

568
01:24:03,958 --> 01:24:09,125
that after his grandmother's
child caught leprosy,

569
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:11,625
she directly sent the child there.

570
01:24:13,541 --> 01:24:17,125
She never wanted to acknowledge
that child again.

571
01:24:17,916 --> 01:24:20,250
It's really pitiful.

572
01:24:20,583 --> 01:24:22,374
Even when the child was dying,

573
01:24:22,375 --> 01:24:25,458
she didn't dare to see them one last time.

574
01:24:43,500 --> 01:24:48,291
This place is very remote,
you should be careful.

575
01:25:47,333 --> 01:25:52,332
(Sungai Buloh Leper Hospital back hill)

576
01:25:52,333 --> 01:25:58,125
(Mass grave of 513 incident victims)

577
01:29:00,166 --> 01:29:06,458
(Hakka Taoist funeral ritual)

578
01:29:13,250 --> 01:29:15,125
Show me your ID and permit.

579
01:29:18,208 --> 01:29:22,083
Officer, please show some mercy.

580
01:29:22,625 --> 01:29:26,249
I know it was allowed to set up before.

581
01:29:26,250 --> 01:29:29,208
I don't know why it's not allowed now.

582
01:29:29,375 --> 01:29:34,416
I've always set up the stage
for performances here.

583
01:29:34,916 --> 01:29:37,875
It started from my mother's generation.

584
01:29:39,750 --> 01:29:42,791
You said it yourself,
that was in the past.

585
01:29:43,125 --> 01:29:46,082
Now there is a mosque built in front.

586
01:29:46,083 --> 01:29:47,499
Times are different now.

587
01:29:47,500 --> 01:29:49,750
You should really face reality.

588
01:29:50,041 --> 01:29:52,249
Take down the stage quickly.

589
01:29:52,250 --> 01:29:53,749
If you insist on performing,

590
01:29:53,750 --> 01:29:55,874
don't blame us for taking tough measures.

591
01:29:55,875 --> 01:29:58,916
Or do you want to come back
to the office with us?

592
01:30:01,041 --> 01:30:02,291
Don't be like that.

593
01:30:02,708 --> 01:30:06,458
We'll just take down the stage.

594
01:30:07,083 --> 01:30:10,415
Good, then I'll give you half an hour.

595
01:30:10,416 --> 01:30:14,249
If these things are still
here in half an hour,

596
01:30:14,250 --> 01:30:15,958
don't blame us for being heartless.

597
01:30:16,291 --> 01:30:17,291
Understand?

598
01:30:17,458 --> 01:30:20,708
Okay, we'll take it down immediately.

599
01:30:21,166 --> 01:30:23,332
Remember, just half an hour.

600
01:30:23,333 --> 01:30:24,458
Okay, okay.

601
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,333
Officer, thank you.

602
01:30:30,875 --> 01:30:33,125
Well? Still building?

603
01:30:39,416 --> 01:30:40,708
Pack it up.

604
01:30:41,583 --> 01:30:42,958
Come on, lift it up.

605
01:30:49,333 --> 01:30:50,708
No need to act anymore.

606
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:52,375
Just call it a day.

607
01:31:42,125 --> 01:31:45,916
I've been with the troupe my whole life.

608
01:31:46,625 --> 01:31:49,040
Now they're just tearing down your stage.

609
01:31:49,041 --> 01:31:50,625
Not issuing a fine

610
01:31:50,958 --> 01:31:52,916
is considered polite enough.

611
01:31:55,583 --> 01:31:58,875
I had thought the Pu Changchun Troupe

612
01:31:59,416 --> 01:32:03,000
could finish its final
performance properly.

613
01:32:05,916 --> 01:32:07,458
But it doesn't matter.

614
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,041
As long as I can still move,

615
01:32:10,583 --> 01:32:12,125
I can still sing.

616
01:32:13,708 --> 01:32:16,750
Next year,
I will definitely come back here.

617
01:32:17,583 --> 01:32:18,916
And sing with you again.

618
01:32:27,166 --> 01:32:35,166
<i>Life's long sorrows flow
eastward like water,</i>

619
01:32:48,708 --> 01:32:56,708
<i>Yellow leaves fall, maples turn red.</i>

620
01:33:08,375 --> 01:33:16,375
<i>The past seems like a fleeting dream,</i>

621
01:33:28,125 --> 01:33:36,125
<i>Waking to the sound of the night bell.</i>

622
01:33:47,583 --> 01:33:55,583
<i>Not a paulownia flower,
don't yearn for the phoenix.</i>

623
01:34:59,541 --> 01:35:04,166
(Grave of an Unnamed Chinese Immigrant)

624
01:38:46,166 --> 01:38:54,166
<i>The death knell rings in hell.</i>

625
01:38:56,333 --> 01:38:59,915
<i>A woman of virtue,</i>

626
01:38:59,916 --> 01:39:03,457
<i>She faces tragedy, hiding her face,</i>

627
01:39:03,458 --> 01:39:08,000
<i>In times of great crisis,
she remains unseen.</i>

628
01:39:08,250 --> 01:39:14,124
<i>Today in the courtroom, I bare my face,</i>

629
01:39:14,125 --> 01:39:16,958
<i>My heart already trembling,</i>

630
01:39:17,916 --> 01:39:23,416
<i>How can I endure the heartless torture?</i>

631
01:39:24,083 --> 01:39:30,290
<i>What does it matter? The courts are dark,</i>

632
01:39:30,291 --> 01:39:34,166
<i>Accustomed to judging by gold.</i>

633
01:39:37,666 --> 01:39:45,666
<i>I live on Red Plum Lane
by the Autumn River,</i>

634
01:39:49,333 --> 01:39:57,333
<i>Alas, the marriage bed is cold,
the farewell song sung.</i>

635
01:40:00,750 --> 01:40:08,750
<i>A parting forever,
separated by life and death.</i>

636
01:40:16,125 --> 01:40:24,125
<i>I will not be like the wife
who fanned the grave,</i>

637
01:40:24,333 --> 01:40:32,333
<i>I follow Lady Meng Jiang
in devotion to my husband.</i>

638
01:40:33,166 --> 01:40:41,166
<i>But who will look after my
white-haired mother-in-law?</i>

639
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:53,000
<i>I would rather be Zhao Wuniang,
selling my hair to save my kin.</i>

640
01:42:35,333 --> 01:42:37,332
Would you like to try some Nyonya kuih?

641
01:42:37,333 --> 01:42:38,500
I made them myself.

642
01:42:42,375 --> 01:42:43,875
May I sit here?

643
01:43:13,875 --> 01:43:15,583
It's my first time here.

644
01:43:17,041 --> 01:43:18,832
I saw in the paper last week

645
01:43:18,833 --> 01:43:23,208
that someone is buying this
place to build something.

646
01:43:29,250 --> 01:43:31,708
It would be a pity to tear it down.

647
01:43:38,458 --> 01:43:41,291
This place must have
been very remote before.

648
01:43:48,625 --> 01:43:51,208
Is that grave your mother's?

649
01:43:55,708 --> 01:43:59,250
I just noticed it looked strange,
different from the others.

650
01:43:59,708 --> 01:44:02,208
The tombstone even has
a Chinese name engraved.

651
01:44:05,208 --> 01:44:07,541
You must have been coming here
for many years, right?

652
01:44:13,166 --> 01:44:15,208
Is your family from the opera world?

653
01:44:17,750 --> 01:44:19,707
My family is Hokkien.

654
01:44:19,708 --> 01:44:21,958
My mother was a Nyonya descendant.

655
01:44:24,291 --> 01:44:28,500
This Nyonya kebaya was left to me by her.

656
01:44:30,416 --> 01:44:35,500
My mother used to love
watching Cantonese opera.

657
01:44:37,333 --> 01:44:39,166
On the day of 513,

658
01:44:39,708 --> 01:44:43,208
I went with her to Pudu to watch the show.

659
01:44:45,250 --> 01:44:50,915
That night, my father took my
brother to the Cathay Cinema.

660
01:44:50,916 --> 01:44:53,000
He wouldn't let me go with them.

661
01:44:54,250 --> 01:44:56,875
Who knew the riots would break out?

662
01:44:58,125 --> 01:45:02,166
My mother and I hid inside
the opera stage all night.

663
01:45:05,958 --> 01:45:08,291
We were lucky, I suppose.

664
01:45:08,958 --> 01:45:13,458
Otherwise, we would have been killed.

665
01:45:17,291 --> 01:45:21,833
My father and brother
weren't so fortunate.

666
01:45:22,583 --> 01:45:24,875
Later, we couldn't even find their bodies.

667
01:45:28,500 --> 01:45:30,166
After that happened,

668
01:45:31,416 --> 01:45:34,875
my mother took me everywhere
looking for their graves.

669
01:45:35,375 --> 01:45:38,083
We searched and searched
but just couldn't find them.

670
01:45:41,416 --> 01:45:43,083
Now my mother has passed away too.

671
01:45:43,458 --> 01:45:45,708
I'm the only one left still looking.

672
01:45:49,583 --> 01:45:51,416
I think

673
01:45:53,500 --> 01:45:58,416
they were secretly brought here
that night and buried.

674
01:46:01,666 --> 01:46:03,582
But I've searched all day,

675
01:46:03,583 --> 01:46:05,791
and I just can't find their names.

676
01:46:07,708 --> 01:46:10,415
Perhaps they were holders
of red identity cards,

677
01:46:10,416 --> 01:46:12,875
so the government didn't
record their names.

678
01:46:16,708 --> 01:46:19,208
They were driven all this way back then;

679
01:46:21,083 --> 01:46:23,833
they must have buried people here.

680
01:46:27,250 --> 01:46:31,916
I have no choice but to pay
respects at an unmarked grave.

681
01:46:43,791 --> 01:46:45,875
1969.

682
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,291
49 years already.

683
01:46:52,708 --> 01:46:55,791
Even the government
from back then has been replaced.

684
01:46:57,416 --> 01:47:02,416
(Liang Wengui, Liang Guanyao)

685
01:47:03,500 --> 01:47:07,666
I think they must have
been reincarnated by now.

686
01:47:12,416 --> 01:47:16,375
So, will you come again next year?

687
01:51:10,416 --> 01:51:13,125
Ask the west wind,

688
01:51:14,333 --> 01:51:17,250
ask the white clouds.

689
01:51:18,916 --> 01:51:24,583
Is this my destiny?

690
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,500
Ah...

691
01:52:17,958 --> 01:52:19,833
We

692
01:52:20,791 --> 01:52:22,999
are still

693
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:29,125
bystanders of 1969,

694
01:52:29,666 --> 01:52:34,707
able only to probe for the truth.

695
01:52:34,708 --> 01:52:40,833
Those nameless peers of the same age,

696
01:52:41,375 --> 01:52:46,833
a tragic song echoing
through half a century.

697
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,165
Like May,

698
01:52:49,166 --> 01:52:52,291
but lacking the smoke of battle.

699
01:52:52,958 --> 01:52:55,124
Too late

700
01:52:55,125 --> 01:53:01,707
to bury that blue identity card,

701
01:53:01,708 --> 01:53:05,666
offered to you.

702
01:53:08,416 --> 01:53:12,875
Before you closed your tearful eyes,

703
01:53:14,291 --> 01:53:18,875
the last cry of helplessness you heard

704
01:53:19,708 --> 01:53:22,833
was the cold gunfire

705
01:53:23,416 --> 01:53:28,708
ignited by heartless men.

706
01:53:31,708 --> 01:53:34,625
You who fell,

707
01:53:35,083 --> 01:53:40,500
with the blood-red date
carved on your backs.

708
01:53:43,541 --> 01:53:46,790
Watching in silent shock,

709
01:53:46,791 --> 01:53:51,625
a red identity card burning in the fire.

710
01:53:55,250 --> 01:53:58,374
You who sleep,

711
01:53:58,375 --> 01:54:04,083
never knowing you lie on an endless hill,

712
