I will get her.

Madam, telephone!

Hello?

How do I describe my fear?

I actually have the same face as a dead man from years ago.

Last year,

I bought a stack of old articles from a junkshop.

Unwanted copies thrown out by the local newspaper.

In one of the pictures,

I saw my face.

It sent shivers down my spine.

It was a murder case. Two bodies.

One male

and one female.

Obviously,

I am not him,

yet we look very much alike.

He was a family doctor.

Dr. Tan.

The lady was somebody's mistress.

A former second-rate starlet.

The Cause of the Victim’s Death Is Still Unknown

Whereabouts of the Family Doctor Remain a Mystery

The incident occurred in 1969.

It caused a massive commotion when it was first reported.

Eventually, like all other news,

it was quickly forgotten by the public.

As for this novel that I'm working on,

it is practically putting my fears into writing.

Woman falls to her death at her home on Wilkinson Road

Woman believed to have been given regular injections of sedatives

Heavy bleeding from blunt force injury

No witnesses on the scene

Wealthy Woman Found Dead at Midnight in Her Home

Serious Head Trauma With Bleeding From the Mouth

Hair Drug Test Was Positive

Woman Believed to Have Fallen to Her Death

With a Fatal Injury to Her Head

Life is a show

An endless show

Sometimes it's sad

Sometimes glad

The actors are special and unusual

Special and unusual

Together we cry

Together we laugh

As we become one

We are happy and sad

And get carried away and all

Get carried away and all

But if you compete or compare

To see who is better and mightier

You'll find the actor can't compare

To the true fans watching the show

Cha, cha, cha, ay, ya, ya

Life is a show

An endless show...

Hello to our listeners out there. What a beautiful morning!

How time flies!

1969 will have slipped by in the blink of an eye.

This year, many things have happened in this country.

The first set of simplified Chinese characters was published,

which has given us a chance to revisit Mandarin.

Also, this year marked the launch of the Grand Lottery,

with a top prize of up to 400,000 dollars.

It gives everyone the opportunity to have their dream come true.

Sadly, the May 13th race riot was a regretful moment.

No matter if it is good or bad, everything will eventually pass.

Perhaps this is what life is.

The stage looks to life, yet life is just a stage.

Life might seem like an exciting play,

full of twists and turns,

but isn't it meaningless?

Are you new here?

Do you know who I am?

I have no idea.

Do you know any of my rules?

No, I don't.

At least you know why you are here, right?

I'm here to earn money.

Where is your hometown?

Shunde.

Which village?

Huo Village, Xingtan Town.

Come.

"Kneel down"?

Look up.

What is your name?

Liang Bao Cui.

Madam!

Bao Cui.

I'm sorry.

Is she clean?

Yes, Madam. I have already checked her.

Okay.

What took you so long?

Where have you been?

Come here!

"But if I did not come, if I could not see you,

at least I would have gazed long on all that surrounds you.

At night, every night,

I arose,

I came hither,

I watched your house,

its glimmering in the moon,

the trees in the garden swaying before your window,

and through the window-panes in the darkness,

a shining gleam of the little lamp.

You never knew that I was so near you,

yet so far from you.

It eddied to-and-fro in the subtle breath

of the perfume

which suffused her soul."

Marvelous!

The great French author Flaubert

wrote this masterpiece at such a young age of 36.

Reading a classic was just foreplay.

She knew that the handsome doctor

would do much more to satisfy her lonely soul.

You will soon grow tall and big

Help your grandpa watch the cows and sheep

CHLORAL HYDRATE, POISON

What is the illness that Madam needs a doctor

to come over to the house?

It is a mental illness.

She cries at night often.

I could hear it from upstairs.

It is obvious

that she is really unhappy living here.

Where is Master then?

Master? He lives in another home.

Your medicine, Madam.

It is Master's order.

Its plot,

in brief,

is that Madame Bovary,

feeling tired of her dull, passionless life,

committed adultery

and was scheming to run away with her lover,

without success.

Finally, devastated by her lover's betrayal,

with all hope gone,

she poisoned herself to death by swallowing arsenic.

At last, a tragic end.

Running away in secret?

How exciting!

Running away sounds too capricious to me.

Why not say "traveling far, flying high"?

Isn't that more romantic?

"Traveling far, flying high"?

How to travel?

How to fly?

In fact, I've been thinking

that we can go and live elsewhere.

Be it Thailand or Vietnam.

Any place will do.

A place where people would not recognize me.

Are you mad?

If we get caught, then...

Suddenly you remind me of the term,

"suicide pact."

You can't equate "secret runaway" with "committing suicide."

They are totally unrelated.

Therefore, in my opinion,

lovers who dare to commit suicide pacts

are something I greatly admire.

They are lovers in the highest sense.

My British gentleman,

pardon my asking,

how do you say "traveling far, flying high"

in English?

"What was in the injections?"

She asked.

"You're feeling good, correct?"

"Then that is all you need to know,"

Dr. Tan replied.

Without a doubt,

it was the medication that Madam Ku was addicted to.

Dr. Tan never revealed

that he added the illicit drug amphetamines to the dose.

Who are you?

My name is Bao Cui.

I'm new here.

And you?

Me?

I am Dr. Tan, a doctor.

Begin.

"For I am the first and the last."

"I am the honored and the scorned."

"I am the harlot and the holy one."

"I am the wife and the virgin."

"I am the mother and the daughter."

"I am the members of my mother."

"I am the barren one and the one with many children."

"I am she, whose marriage is multiple,

and I have not taken a husband."

"I am she, who is weak,

and I am well in pleasure of place.

I am the mother of my father,

and the sister of my husband."

"I am knowledge and ignorance."

"I am shame and boldness.

-I am foolish and I am wise." -"I am foolish and I am wise."

A Salon was a gathering of the literati of the day

in the home of a gracious and often wealthy host.

The mark of a good host

would depend on the status of his guests.

Good day, Madam.

Regarding dining etiquette,

back to basics,

what matters the most is one's manner of sitting.

As the Chinese saying goes,

"Sit as one should sit."

Where should you place your two hands?

Clench them softly,

and place them on the edge of the table.

By doing so,

your back will straighten naturally,

and your upper body will be poised forward.

I have been told

that the training in the British royal family

for Queen Elizabeth

was so rigorous that at whatever disturbance behind her,

she would not be started or distracted.

Only when you can attain this level of composure,

can you be considered a true lady.

"Besides, I shall want a trunk.

Not too heavy. Something handy."

Madam Ku said.

RUN AWAY

Certainly.

Yes.

I can.

I will do it right away.

She knew that someone would take action,

and when it would take place.

She knew exactly what to do at that moment,

and what she stood to gain after doing it.

It occurred to me

that Madam Ku Yang shared many similarities

with Flaubert's 19th century Madame Bovary.

They were both desperately willing

to sacrifice their nubile bodies and affections

in pursuit of material comforts and status.

Listen.

Rain accompanied by thunder.

I am afraid

that something might go wrong tonight.

Investigations on the Murder Case at Stalemate

Two Maids Possibly Implicated

Dear Dr. Tan,

I've been having premonitions

of my death.

The older Madam hates me.

My English tutor is envious of everything that I have.

My etiquette instructor

cannot disguise her scorn for me.

Even my two maids

are constantly scheming against me.

The world is such

a complicated place to live in.

If my destiny says so, I have no regrets.

However,

I must refuse a death of unclear circumstances.

Listen, I will be gone for a while.

But I will be back soon.

Do not say anything to anyone.

And tell Madam that it is time.

She will understand.

Madam, telephone!

Hello?

A telephone call in the late of the night?

What would Dr. Tan do?

Keep waiting?

Look.

A full moon accompanied by lightning.

It makes no sense.

Of course it doesn't make sense.

The world has already turned upside down.

What a cheeky riposte!

You actors are always unmatched.

Tell me.

Who was the person that you were to meet tonight?

Your dealings are open secrets to us now.

Listen, Ku Yang.

The life that you live

accommodated with a luxurious wardrobe,

an English tutor, an etiquette instructor,

and two serving maids,

is what a socialite in high society

can ever hope to have.

Do you not feel content?

My heart is like a locked room

in desperate need of a key.

Pardon me?

Another cliché from one of your movies?

You feel imprisoned, don't you?

Wasn't this what you wanted?

Now you plan to run away with your lover?

Do you think you are in a movie?

Do you still remember where your hometown is?

Certainly.

Huo Village, Xingtan Town in Shunde.

You are really something.

From a showgirl,

you jumped into bed with my husband,

to become a mistress.

I have worked my way up

to where I am today.

You worked your way up?

I am the one who gave in to you.

Listen.

If it wasn't because I was barren

and Master wanted you to produce a son,

I wouldn't have put up with you.

Somehow, you have overstepped yourself

without a bit of respect for me, the legal wife.

Look into my eyes!

What's not yours will never be yours.

Don't you dare to dream beyond your means.

Otherwise, I shall curse you to death.

"Curse me to death"?

Shut up!

How dare you?

Did you want to abscond with my money?

No way!

I wonder how you will get rid of this evil thing?

You are such a shameless woman.

There is nothing you wouldn't dare to do.

I hope you understand this.

It has always been easy to hate and destroy.

To build and to cherish is much more difficult.

We could have been at peace with each other.

Why must you speak English?

You are sick.

You are terribly sick.

Madam!

Bao Cui!

Don't go down!

Madam!

If these suspects and specters stepped out of my imagination,

what would they say?

I once visited a temple to seek my fortune.

I drew a divination lot that read,

"The heart wants to fly,

but its wings are paper-thin.

Never pursue righteousness,

and your life will be firmly grounded."

I have to forget my dreams,

and live my entire life as someone's mistress,

tolerating harsh conditions.

There's no need to become a legitimate wife.

Have you ever noticed her hooked nose?

There's an old Chinese saying,

"A nose shaped like the beak of an eagle

is sure to peck through a person's heart."

Her face was a bad omen

that would cause ruin to her husband.

I am glad she is dead.

Well, she is just a peasant.

Ruby?

I'm not interested in jewelry.

I'm only interested in...

A woman's own character shapes her fortune.

Me?

How can I just live my whole life as a lowly maid?

I am not only good at singing,

but also good at acting.

Acting naive is my special skill.

I don't have the means to run away with her.

I am only a poor doctor.

Her strong emotion

makes me feel suffocated

and makes me terrified.

I just want to run away.

It was disclosed by a police insider

that the mess Dr. Tan found himself in

was no small matter.

He was insinuating

that the case was not what it seemed.

You have the passport?

Yes.

You are forgetting nothing?

No.

Are you sure?

Certainly.

Are you afraid?

If you did nothing wrong, why would you be afraid?

Don't you feel sorry for her?

Well, I couldn't care less.

How can you be so cruel?

Sooner or later, we all die.

Tell me, do you have any qualms about her?

Bixia,

don't you pray to Guanyin?

Like a dream, a phantom

A drop of dew, a flash of lightning

Do not answer a question with another question!

Master.

No, Master.

No, Master!

Please! I said no!

Why are you here?

I have no idea.

To earn money.

You can earn money elsewhere.

I really don't understand why you are here.

Go to hell!

I have no idea.

-You know it! -No, I don't.

-You know it! -No, I don't.

You know it!

Human affairs are nothing but superficial.

The birds that fly over us will shed their feathers,

the people that walk past us will shed their skin.

And ants crave the sweetness of blood.

Alas, these simple truths are unavoidable.

I'm playing a role in the story I'm writing.

I actually feel that I'm a part of the characters.

I live and breathe with them.

Poor creature!

Two Maids’ Involvement In the Murder Was Dismissed After Investigations

The Whereabouts of Dr. Tan, the Family Doctor, Is a Mystery

There was only one consequence of Dr. Tan's deed and manner.

The bottom had fallen out of his world.

Then, the tragic photos

printed on the wide-spread Nanyang Shi Pau in 1969

might as well be his only redemption.

Isn't it?

Face Damaged Beyond Recognition

Man Found Dead With Severe Gunshot Wound in a White Sports Car

Face Damaged Beyond Recognition

A Death So Tragic That One Cannot Bear to Look

South-wind kisses softly the face

The fragrance of flowers lingers in the air

South-wind kisses softly the face

The star-light dims, moonshine fades

We embrace in a kiss

That words can't express

We embrace in a kiss

That speaks from the depths of my heart

No matter what comes tomorrow

Tomorrow is goodbye

Hold on to the night

Cherish this precious night

Say farewell to our love

Soon the sun will rise in the East

Say farewell to our love

We'll meet again in our dreams

No matter what comes tomorrow

Tomorrow is goodbye

Hold on to the night

Cherish this precious night

Say farewell to our love

Soon the sun will rise in the East

Say farewell to our love

We'll meet again in our dreams

You were just listening

to "This Precious Night" by Tsui Ping.

That was the last number of "Night of Golden Hit Songs."

We are reaching the end of tonight's program.

Here, I would like to wish everyone sweet dreams.

And may you achieve anything your heart desires.
