[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 1]

[Zhang Qi, flying instructor of Central Aviation School, captain of Hanguang Squadron.]

Answer me, 095.

Answer me, 095.

Answer me, 095.

[Ding Huansheng, deputy captain of Hanguang Squadron,
a communist.]

Here's 095. Here's 095.

800 meters high. 300 miles an hour.
[Zeng Nianqiao, operator of Hanguang, a communist.]

Hold on heading 210.

In 1937, before the burst of War of Resistance against Japan,
[Central Aviation School.]

China has an elemental air power
[Jianqiao Base, Hangzhou]

but a weak foundation on industry.

The interior struggle, corruption and confused commands of Chinese Nationalist Party

weaken its strength.

What's the matter? Within 30 miles of the air route, the cumulonimbus is forming.

There are thunder, lightning, and heavy clouds.
The weather condition is getting poor.

He'll be overhead in about 20 minutes. No radio.
We have to lead him to land.

Check the time.

Ten o five in the evening. According to our rules.
Guide him to land within 15 minutes. Yes. Let's go.

Yes, let's go.

I am Lu Zi Yi.

Deputy Director Lu is a member of Central Aviation Council.

Central Aviation School appointed him

as the deputy director of our Political Discipline Department.

Please collaborate with his work.

Who is Zheng Nian Qiao?

Someone reports that Zheng Nian Qiao is under suspicion of contacting Communist Party and smuggling cultural relics.

I think the cultural relics should still be on the warplanes.

Investigate all the planes.

Everyone! Protect our planes!

Zhang Qi what are you doing?

Does Hanguang Squadron belong to you?

Zhang Qi. Put down your pistol.

Put down your guns! You guys too!

Deputy Director Lu. Jianqiao planes cannot be touched so easily.

Even if Central Aviation Council and President Chen are here,

they still need to go with pilots and mechanics.

Anyhow, you only have the search warrant to check his plane.

I think you also don't want this to get out of control.

Where is Zeng Nian Qiao?

Report.
Operator Zheng Nian Qiao

is carrying out an urgent task from Peiping.

He will land in eight minutes.

Because of the weather, radio and the breakdown of the runway,

according to Aviation Safety Regulation, we should turn off all the unnecessary lights here and start to guide him on land.

Our captain was going to guide No. 095.

He can't land with just light fog?

I'll check your skills for the council.

Let me see what the huge amount

of funds can bring us.

What are you doing?

Cover me, 031 and 047.

Others guide him to land.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Go to catch him!

Please wait, Deputy Director Lu.

I know you want to investigate Zheng Nian Qiao's plane

but 095 is still in the sky.

I think the military commission should be primary.

The radio can't compare with our captain and Guiding Tower.

Blind landing again. Captain, catch me.

Catch him!

Zheng Nian Qiao. Where were you

last night?

I was at No. 100 of Yunju Alley in Peiping.

No. 100 of Yunju Alley?

Yes. Professors of Fuhua University live there

I grew up there.

Mr. Jin is my respected teacher so I went to visit him.

Someone said you left in a hurry and had a box.

- Where is the box?
- Box?

What box?

Pilots pay attention to speed

so we always walk fast. I don't think it's anxiety.

There is a box on the airplane, but there are only some books inside.

- Bring him back.
- Yes.

Wait.

Deputy Director Lu. Jianqiao is a Central Aviation school.

It should be managed by Aviation Bureau of Military Commission.

Do you have any conclusive proofs to take

- my team member away?
- Zhang Qi. "Qi" represents open-mindedness.

Flying instructor and the captain of the Hanguang Squadron.

We've been investigating who is the communist inside us.

It's said communists have hidden here for long.

When we asked our air force to suppress enemies,

the communists hidden in Jianqiao let the news out

so that the Communist Party could escape to Yan'an.

Captain Zhang, I am very suspicious that you are the one that I am looking for.

Bring him back too.

Let's see who dares to.

Wait a minute.

Deputy Chief Lu, you know about the Fuxing aircraft, right?

Last Friday, the president of Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Zhang Buchun,

personally expended a huge sum of money to donate two Fuxing aircrafts to the Central Air Force.

The reception ceremony will take place this week.

Chairman even made an inscription:

"Shoot for the Sky." A lot of media outlets are reporting on it.

Why is that relevant?

Do you know who Zhang Qi is?

He is Zhang Buchun's youngest son.

His father donated a huge sum to the party and the state.

He is a model of patriotism. How could his son possibly be a Communist?

On Chairman's last birthday,

the leader of the team who wrote in the sky

was Zhang Qi.

- I—
- Shut up.

Director Tang, make sure to discipline Captain Zhang.

Teach him not to intervene where he's not welcome.

Don't drag the whole Hanguang Squadron into it.

If it gets to that point, even Chairman will lose face.

Take Zeng Nianqiao away. Dismissed.

Yes!

Captain, Second Brother, I'll go with them.

All the oil leaked out. If he hadn't landed, Nianqiao would've been done for.

Last month, the Third Battalion lost two planes for the same reason.

The Nationalist government spent a huge sum to buy imported planes from Italy and the U.S.

But they're all secondhand. They're all of this poor quality.

We have to take another trip to Beiping.

Why are you so impulsive?

[Hangzhou: Jianqiao Air Force Academy]

You applied to go to Beiping to receive Fuxing aircrafts.

I understand how you both feel.

But most of the components of a Fuxing aircraft are domestically produced.

I'm not trying to suggest anything.

I'm not saying the aircrafts that Mr. Zhang donated are not good.

I respect Mr. Zhang's patriotic act.

But as Mr. Zhang's son,

can't you spare us some worry, for him and for me?

Zhang Qi, I'm warning you.

You have to reflect on what happened today. As a soldier, you can't put you and your men

in such danger.

We're all fighting for our lives in the air everyday.

Now there's suddenly some political training office

pestering us everyday. Who can cope with that?

Director, Nianqiao is an honest man.

Don't try to pick fault with him. If you have to, go after me instead.

Go after you?

Yesterday, if it weren't for me, you would've gone down with him.

Director, Captain isn't trying to contradict you.

Yesterday, if it weren't for Captain, 095 wouldn't have been able to land.

We would've lost another aircraft and pilot.

What I'm most worried about is still Zeng Nianqiao and whether he can pass inspection.

It's very possible that while he was at Fuhua, he really did come into contact with Communists.

If they grab hold of such evidence, it'll really be an issue.

Zhang Qi, I'll approve your application to go to Beiping.

But your mission is to recruit pilots

from Fuhua and Yanxi Universities. If you fail your mission,

you'll be punished.

I... I still have daily training.

Let Second Brother go.

Me?

Zhang Qi, Ding Huansheng, receive your orders.

- Yes.
- Yes.

The mission of recruitment is assigned jointly to Hanguang Squadron's captain and lieutenant.

Also, at Fuhua University there is a secretary-general by the name of Meng Wuran.

Two days ago, he called me directly

to refuse our recruitment mission.

Meng Wuran?

That's my father's old friend.

You know him? Then dispatching you is perfect.

You have to defeat Meng Wuran.

[Beiping]

I won't go to the Normal University! No one can interfere with my freedom, not even my father!

What did you say?

[Meng Haitang, student at the Affiliated High School of Fuhua University]
If you keep pressuring me, I'll run away from home.

You're always threatening to run away.

[Meng Wuran, Fuhua University secretary-general and Chinese Studies Department dean]
Have you ever even made it out of Fuhua's northern gate?

Hey! Don't forget to invite Mr. Jin

to dine at No. 86 tomorrow night!

Poshan! Stop right there.

Stop! Poshan, I'm telling you,

stop right there.

You can't go to a demonstration.

- You can't go!
- It's none of your business.

How can you be so unfilial!

[Zeng Mu, Physics Professor at Fuhua University]

I can't do anything about you anymore.

I really can't.

You can't even keep your own daughter under control.

How laughable.

Professor Zeng.

Have you ever kept your son under control?

Pah!

What a grouch.

Why is the newly appointed Deputy Chief Lu so fixated on Nianqiao? It's strange.

Plus Nianqiao was always carrying out missions in Beiping.

He didn't have any contact with the Nanjing side.

I have to get Nianqiao out.

Hey, don't be impulsive. Director said he would go to Nanjing and find a way.

Besides, given what we know about Nianqiao, there shouldn't be a problem.

Trust me.

Let's talk about your father's old friend. Your father's last letter mentioned marrying you off to his eldest daughter.

Now you have to face it.

You know, it wouldn't kill you to keep your mouth shut.

It's time to fly, where are you going?

I have to take care of some personal matters. Don't follow me.

[Hangzhou Yue Fei Temple]
[Faithful Devotion to Country]

I have one more thing to ask of you.

Please take this to Hangzhou for me.

And put it here.

[Yue Fei Temple]

[Faithful Devotion to Country]

Zeng Nianqiao, it's been ten hours.

You still aren't talking?

It's clear from your willful manner that you're a Communist!

Chief is here!

Chief.

Zeng Nianqiao, please answer my questions.

What is your relationship with Jin Zhilie from Fuhua's History Department?

From 1930 to 1932,

I studied in Fuhua's History Department.

Professor Jin was my mentor.

Mentor?

Then, did Jin Zhilie

have you participate in his research on oracle bone inscriptions?

I was at Fuhua for three years.

Afterwards, I came to Jianqiao to join the military.

I never participated in any research on oracle bone inscriptions.

Besides, while I've been in the military, I haven't seen Professor Jin.

You haven't seen him?

Then how do you explain the night of June 26,

when you went to Jin Zhilie's house?

Didn't I already tell you? Because we hadn't seen each other in so long,

I wanted to use my spare time while I was in Beiping on a mission,

with the Director's approval,

to visit my father and my mentor.

You've already searched my things.

It's just some books and my mentor's published work.

Deputy Chief Lu, what exactly are you detaining me here for?

You aren't being detained.

I just invited you over to chat, have tea, and ask you some questions.

But Old Gao here is a little tactless.

Section Chief Gao, quickly apologize.

Chief, I—

I understand that you're loyal and dutiful to your country.

But we're all brothers here. How can you be so severe?

Who do you think you are?

Deputy Chief Lu, you went to such trouble to capture me.

Surely you can't let me go so easily. You better give a justifiable explanation.

I personally am here to release you.

Excuse me, excuse me, sister, sister.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Sister.

[Admission List of Fuhua Chinese Studies Department.]

Your name isn't there.

There must be some mistake! There's no way you didn't make it.

Where are you going?

Wait, wait for me.

Isn't this your name?

[Meng Haitang]

Fight the Japanese to save our country! Fight the Japanese to save our country!

Bei Ping. Nanyuan Airport.

Huansheng, Give me the wrench.

Do you take it as your son? Fix it yourself every time.

Will the mechanic lose his job?

It's ready.

No one knows 019 better than me.

Let's go to see Fuxing Plane.

The body. Front wing. Tail-plane.

They're all made of alloy.
Its motility has no difference from Boeing 281.

If the fuel tank could...

What are you doing?

Captain, I'm checking the plane. Beware of loose screws.

Imported screws always can't fit.

No one could get on 019 without Captain Zhang's permission.

Really? I don't know that.

Have you had lunch? Let me bring it for you.

Why do you look so ferocious?

You scared me.Aren't you going to find your future father-in-law

to talk about the recruitment of pilots?

Yes.

Hold on a second.

You should carry a present.

West Lake Longjing Tea. Here you are.

See you.

Father.

I need to ask you something.

So do I. I want to say something to you too.

Well... I'm going to my room first.

You should act like a girl. Don't you understand?

Tidy up your clothes.

- Sit down.
- No.

Have the seat.

I refuse.

You've gotten the admission letter?

Congratulations. You're now a college student.

I want to learn Chinese Studies. But why education?

I went to find President Yu.

I changed it.

Father. Do you think it's appropriate?

Why not appropriate?

In public, how can Secretary General

of Fuhua University abuse his power to change a student's admission decision?

In private, you know I want to learn archaeology!

In public, the university has the right to

allocate student's admissions.

In private, our ancestors witnessed

our national flag was changed three times in a day on Tongji Ship.

Then he felt the importance of education on saving the nation.

He exhorted his offspring

to think highly of it.

It's our ancestor's opinion.

Not mine. I only want to learn archaeology.

Haitang. Archaeology doesn't fit you.

You almost need to stay

in desolate places everyday.

You're too weak to suffer it.

Anyway, I don't want to study education.

I'll go to find President Yu when term begins. I can go to resit.

- Dare you?
- Yes.

If nothing else, I'll leave now. I have to go to Archaeological Society later.

Stay there!

You've expressed your ideas

but I haven't finished mine.

Come back and sit down.

I refuse!

Last week, you asked me about Uncle Zhang Buchun

who donated planes, do you remember?

No.

You said he's like a monkey. Don't you remember?

He has a son called Zhang Qi.

He's a pilot of Jian Qiao Central Aviation School in Hangzhou.

Young and handsome. He's at a similar age to you.

So we've set a betrothal for you two since you were young.

Your mother thinks you should get in touch with him now.

with him now.

Father.

You've told me you wouldn't agree with mom

but what is it now?

Are the civilization and freedom you mention fake?

What does it matter?

We know Zhang Qi well.

The reason why your mom mentions it

is that she cares you a lot.

The situation is now in turmoil. You can't be reckless.

He's arrived in Peiping yesterday.

I've invited him to our home this afternoon.

We'll dine together this evening.

He's come from distance. We need to attend him well.

Go to change into decent clothes.

Don't say anything rude when you meet him.

- Understand?
- No.

I want to attend archaeology activities.

You can go nowhere!

Just stay in your room, reading and reflecting upon yourself.

Come with me.

- You like taking photos?
- Yes.

Peiping is beautiful. Take it as a memento.

Haitang.

Come out. Zhang Qi is here.

Haitang.

Wandering in the yard is an interest.

Though there's a gate, it's always close.

Walking around with my crutch...

Have some tea, please.

I'll be right back.

He's been here for a while. Come out to meet him.

I don't want status and wealth.

I don't expect to be an immortal.

You're so absurd! Come out at once!

I'd like to appreciate brilliant views myself

or plow and plant in my own yard.

Do you refuse to come out?

Fine. Just stay there.

You can go nowhere today.

My daughter is diligent. She won't come out of her room

until she finishes studying.

Qi. When you're studying in Fuhua,

we've gone to France for academic exchange.

So there's no chance to invite you to my home.

Haitang will study at Normal University this year.

Haichen will take the entrance exam next year.

I planted a begonia tree

when we moved in.

When she was born,

all the flowers bloomed.

That's why I named her "Haitang" (Begonia).

Uncle Meng.

I'm here to beg for your help.

Qi. You're too polite.

Your father and I have been friends for years.

Your father and I have been friends

for years.

Except the recruitment of pilots in Fuhua.

Except it.

That's my essential intention.

By the way.

Here's the invitation card for you to join

the trial flight of Fuxing Plane.

I'm sorry I could help you nothing about the recruitment.

Only armies need people?

Industry, agriculture, commerce and medical science...

Every field needs talents!

Studying also can serve the nation!

If they all sacrifice,

there's no future for our country and nation!

Anyhow, everyone has his or her own will.

You join the army and your father donates planes.

I really admire your behavior.

Qi, I'll support the activity

because it's your father's chivalrous deed.

I have to answer the phone.

Excuse me, Qi.

There were some major problems at the school so I had to hurry back to take care of them.

What troubled times! Sorry for the impoliteness.

Old Mu! Old Mu!

Meng. I have to work now but you can chat with your aunt.

Old Mu wrote a letter for your father. Can you take it back with you?

I'll go and get it right away.

If you'd like to come out, you should.

I'm not going out. I'm doing my homework.

A record in Xinwei year, emperor's wife Hao...

If you really like oracle bone inscriptions,

you should call her "Hao". It should be "Zi".

Surname decides one's family while name divides one's class.

I think you should call her "Zi".

Both are fine.

How did you know?

I don't know much. Mr. Jin once told me about it.

That's it. She's the first female general recorded by oracle bone inscriptions.

She's honorable and the emperor loved her so much.

He is really admirable. So you know about him too?

Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi.

Sorry for the trouble.

Let me see you off.

- Okay. Okay.
- I'm going home now.

Be careful.

Hello?

He has a son called Zhang Qi.

Young and handsome. He's at a similar age of you.

So we've set a betrothal for you two.

Your mum thinks you two should meet.

You should start dating.

Aren't you ... that guy?

I am... that guy?

Youngsters of the new era should be our own masters.

A man like you who can't decide his own marriage

is really acting like a fool.

I don't think a vulgar man like you could know what I mean.

Anyway, leave quickly and don't come back!

Far more than a fool?

Confucius said Ning Wuzi is smart

when the nation is in order. He pretends to be a fool
when it's in a mess.

Others could compare with his wisdom of being smart, not acting like a fool.

Acting like a fool here is to praise someone who knows the condition well.

Family Meng is a family of scholars.

You know what these words mean, right?

I think you must not be

Meng Hai Tang.

You know quite a lot.

I'm definitely not Meng Hai Tang. The weather is nice today so I wanted to experience the warmth of the sun.

The weather is nice?

Okay. Be careful then. Oh right.

Since you're not part of the Meng family, you should come down soon.

Otherwise someone will treat you as a thief.

You...

I have a name.

My name is Zhang Qi.

Come back here for now.

You don't want to bask in the sun anymore?

Please do me a favor.

Turn around and bend over.

I can get down myself

I've never learned to bend over. Just jump.

I'll catch you.

♫ Shimmer goes through the cloud ♫

♫ There's no place for my missing to hide ♫

♫ Everything looks like your figure ♫

♫ I'm totally sinking in my memory ♫

♫ The breeze blows. The time disappears ♫

♫ I've been looking for you for long ♫

What are you doing?

You have a petal on your head.

Here.

There's a "flower" falling on me either.

You're really a flighty playboy.

Wait a moment.

Since you're a soldier, let me give you a kind reminder.

Secretary General Meng dislikes students joining the army.

As you're so young, you must have quit your study
to join the army.

Secretary General Meng won't like it.

Don't scheme to marry his daughter.

How did you know I abandoned my study?

As you hide nothing, I want to tell you something too.

No egg can stay in a broken nest. Do something
to save our nation.

Rather than staying there indifferently.
