Who do you think you are?

l'm just like a dog!

Shut up!

l hate myself, am l really great?

But many people here are just like me

Wasting their time...!

Waiting for the day of closing down!

Come to my place to-night!

l don't want to be a dog again

l want to be myself

Chinese!

Uncle Fu, what are you doing?

Don't you know something big has happened?

They Japanese changed the history

They changed the words from invade China to enter China

How can you ignore the happenings to our country?

lnvade? Enter?

That's nothing big!

lt's alright as long as they don't enter again!

Take one and look, Hong Kong man!

We'll not buy Japanese products these 2 days

So don't let me see you use Japanese goods

You used to eat Japanese instant noodles

Why don't you throw them all out!

You bought them all for me!

What do you want?

l'm just afraid that others will see me!

No one can see you!

She won't listen to me!

She behaves like mad when seeing others

She doesn't know!

Alan, be a great man

lt's just a small bite!

l don't know why l let you have your way!

Bad luck!

Don't misunderstand him, look what he has bought you!

He won't inform the police!

But don't worry! He'll be alright!

The news report. First it is the local news

The British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher has arrived Hong Kong this afternoon

This is our station location report

Mrs. Thatcher, accompanied by Hong Kong Governor Sire Yould,

made a speech to our Press

in the Legislative Council

She emphasized that her intention in this visit

is to show to the Hong Kong people

the determination of Britain to take up, responsibility now and in future

This determination is very firm

until now, Mrs. Thatcher said,

everything is going on smoothly

The British Prime Minister Mrs, in the Legislative Council

The questions evolved around

on the 1 997 problem. On this.

Whether any solid agreement has been arrived

Only the rich people worry about this

lt makes no difference to ordinary people like us

l am not afraid!

Health is the most important thing

You can't so anything without health

l'll teach you how to be healthy

Exercise to be strong

Let's eat!

Aunt, are you joking? You want immigration?

We've such thinking a long time ago

When they are young, they will be easy to adapt

Ah-hung is my elder daughter and you're so nice

That's why l want to discuss with you

l'll do anything for you, but...

l know this request is too much

Help us if you can

You have a funny family

Why do you want immigration?

You know we are lndonesian Chinese

We went to China in 1 963 when they repelled the Chinese

And we went to H.K. in 1 973 after the Cultural Revolution

And now it's 1 983

So your family changes your home every 1 0 years

What's so good about other countries, l won't go!

l got no idea!

Please forget about it

Situation may change for the better

-Good-bye! -Good-bye!

Calm down!

We'll keep you informed, you may leave!

Ah-ming, what's it?

lt's bad, our company shorts liquidity

And is going to wind up

what shall we do now?

How about my family?

Calm down,

-don't shout -lt's such a large company.

Ridiculous!

what shall we do now?

l don't know, we got no wages!

Listen to me, calm down!

Seek help from the Labour Department

See what rights you have got

Find a representative among yourself

Who'll be our representative?

Ah-an!

Yes...!

Brothers, we must co-operate!

Certainly!

Ah-piu, Ah-sing, Ah-hung, let's go to the Labour's Dept!

You want to go? l want you to be our representative

l've something else to do!

l've heard a lot of big talks, but now l wanna call some actions

Now gentlemen, let me warn you

if our sales keep dropping down

We're going to have trouble

We can do nothing about the present situation

l've got something more positive, to suit the market

We've to analyze the psychology of the people we are dealing with

People become so confused and insecure

that large part of their money goes out of Hong Kong

Why don't we have them a bit

We all know we've got a lot of real estates in Latin America

You are talking about immigration or real estate?

You may call it. lmmigration through buying land

or buying land in order to immigrate

l know a company has a very good relation with some Governments in Latin America

So, our slogan is

"One for all and all for one"

Payment, lives, immigration, passport and permanent residence,

depends on us

We can help them to find lands in Latin America

and offer them the security of another country and the large chooses

of the economic investment possibilities

A large amount of capital is looking for investment outside Hong Kong

will come to our pocket

l have to admit it's a brilliant idea

l am pleasurably announcing that

The Department of lmmigration and Real Estate lnvestment is now on effects

and Mr. Alan Wong is in charge

Congratulations

Thanks...!

Congratulations! Thanks...!

lt's you?

Am l not welcomed?

Please treat yourself at home!

What a nice place!

You should have invited me here

l saw there is light so l come up

You are so nice as to stay home

Have you noticed any difference about me?

No, just as pretty as usual

You still remember this dress

l wore this dress the first time l met you

At that time...

We were both depressed

You because of your job and me, live affair

You've succeeded but l look the same

Thank you for giving me the chance

Anderson has promised to divorce and marry me

But it's a lie

He cheated many women in this way

l was just one of them

ln fact, l got used to it

No one in this world treat me nice

Classmates treated me as a monster when l was young!

When l grown up, foreigners treat me as Chinese

Chinese treat me as foreigner

When a man wants to approach me

Because l'm a Eurasian

They feel that l'm special!

But you don't have to bother what they think

The most important is what you think

Go with me to another place, Alan

l want you!

Because of her that turns you so calm

She's different from us

She's another kind of person

Ah-tin. We keep you here for your good

We won't hurt you

Yes, our relationship should be more close

Marry to Ah-cheung, you're so nice to him!

Yes, be our daughter-in-law

Yes, you're an illegal immigrant

You can't go elsewhere

l can take care of him but l can't marry him!

Ah-tim, listen to us!

Catch her...!

Tie her up!

Ah-cheung, nice child, mother loves you!

Ah-cheung, you're told me you would like to have a wife!

That's it!

Ah-cheung, you are a man now

A man!

Go to sleep!

Nice child!

Don't be afraid!

To have children!

Don't talk so much, worship our ancestor!

Worship our ancestor!

Wife...!

Why don't you answer me?

You aren't good people!

l'm good and they're all bad!

On the screen all nice girls are to be cheated

Wait for me...!

What's it? l'm leaving!

Take these eggs back, you can have chicks then

Chicks will give more eggs. Then eggs will become chicks

You will have a farm then

And no one can oppress you

Damn it, l'll kill him if this happens in the olden times

Oppress a girl when she's in danger

Damn it, it's just like bandits

God, you are blind

How can you torture such a nice girl

You have had enough torture to our generation

Torture me then if you haven't had enough

Our houses are destroyed by militarism, Sino-Japanese War

We're to wander outside our houseland!

O Gods, why don't you stop torturing us?

Can this world accept one more girl

When can the Chinese

enjoy peace and freedom!

Uncle Fu, may be we should find her a l.D. card!

You know how?

l know a person

What better idea have you got?

Yes, disguised a Vietnam refugee!

lt's risky but the chance of getting immigration is high

How much?

Over $1 0,000

But it's faster! More and more people are using this channel!

l'll think about it

Miss, you are free now!

Hong Kong is a strange place!

Why?

lt seems we've forgotten something after each meal

What's it?

Do we need food coupons?

Hong Kong does not need this!

Hong Kong is too free

Everybody can do what they like!

Or Hong Kong will not be so prosperous!

When father was arrested and l was sent to River Amur

Father told me that l must be brave to speak the truth

But it's always so painful to speak the truth

And father died because of this

You and Uncle Fu treat me so nice

l don't know how to thank you!

"You're my beloved country"

"l grow up under your protection"

"l was filled with dreams but now l feel sad"

"lt's all affected by you"

"l've given up everything"

"You make me face reality"

"The Victoria Park and the tunnel"

"Repulse Bay and Stanley"

l'll be leaving Hong Kong very soon

This is my last show

Thanks for you support these years!

l hope we can meet again

"l was filled with dreams but now l feel sad"

"lt's all affected by you"

"l have given up everything"

"l hope you'll remain as you are"

"A bridge between East and West"

"Hong Kong's freedom will never..."

"Change!"

Ah-hung!

Sorry for keep you waiting!

l got a news for you!

-Let's go inside! -Yes!

Come in!

What's it?

Look, if l got the open boxing champion

l can go to Australia to coach

Which means we can immigrate to Australia

Don't just consider others, plan for yourself

Your boxing years won't last long

You're too foolish, your affair is my concern

How can l ignore it!

Can you go now? Let's leave together

Boss is invited us to meal!

Then l'll not wait for you

Excuse me. l've to practise

My chance to win is great. Good-bye!

Good-Bye!

Alan, you've come. You want to fight with me?

Let's go to have a cup of tea

What's it?

Hung wants me to tell you they are going to the States

She is marrying her boss!

Be careful! Be careful...!

Have you got all the belongings?

Yes!

What are you afraid of...?

"Ta-l, lon-don-piu..."

"Ta-l-piu, ta-l-piu...!"

"My life is so harsh!"

"l can't find a good husband"

"But other women have"

"My husband only know how to play drum"

"Play drums!"

"Lon-don...!"

"Ta-piu...ta-piu, ta-piu, ta-piu!"

"You useless guy, look at me"

So happy!

When Alan comes

Let's play before him again!

-Get out, take a look over there! -Yes!

lt's bad, go!

Open the door...!

Mr...please open the door!

Please open the door!

Open the door!

Why?

Someone reported that there's an illegal immigrant

They have cheated you

Open the door!

l'll get the key, where is the key?

it's bad, wait, l'll find it!

He's playing a trick!

Where is it?

Don't go...!

You want to leave?

Let me go!

Mr.!

He's fainted, what shall we do now?

l'll watch him, you'll go up!

Heart attack can easily get one's life

Why did uncle Fu do this?

Why did he accept an illegal immigrant?

Why do you do this?

l can help you. She'll bring trouble to you!

Are you crazy, you must think!

Do you know how long have l've been looking for you?

You asked for it!

Just you two?

Yes!

Do you know our price?

This is $ 30,000!

Let me tell you clearly

Our plan is to teach you

What a Vietnam refugee should know

And a boat will take you out

Certainly if you have luck

You'll be saved by foreign ships

Or you'll be taken to the closed camp by Hong Kong

You won't be sent to China, right?

The worst is you'll meet typhoons or bandits

Certainly every chance is equal

Think about it and then answer me

We have already made up our mind

We'll start to-morrow, maybe we can meet them

Good...!

Pack up and get ready

Don't miss this chance!

Good...we can go now... go and pack up!

Ah-tin!

You heard about the good news

We'll leave for the U.S. to-morrow

ln fact, l can go alone!

And you can find me afterwards! lt's too dangerous

That's why l won't let you go alone

We may never meet again!

After this, we will be able to live our own way

Since you are here

Uncle Fu is happy!

l have never seen this before

He treated you as a lost relative of his

lf Uncle Fu is here, will he agree to our leaving?

Uncle Fu left his homeland when he was young

ls there anything worth his remembrance?

l think Uncle Fu would like to buried here

Because that piece of land opposite

The river and the hill are all he's dreaming of

Child, this picture is all l've left for you

Please work yourself up and fight for freedom

Ah-tin!

Get ready on board, hurry!

Come out!

Ah-tin...!

What's it?

Ah-tin!

What do you want? Crazy!

Come out!

Sit over there...!

Be careful! Hold on

Slowly

Sit over there...!

lt's you?

Have you seen Ah-tin?

She's supposed with you?

Ah-tak, the ship is leaving!

Hurry up!

Can't we wait longer?

No or we can't make it!

Good luck!

Excuse my unexpected departure

l left home for the sake of freedom

so l won't be a stateless exile any more

Father said anyone can decide his own fate

You've done much for me

l'll work myself up without getting you involved

When l do, l'll come back to you
