Anyone inside? It's all occupied.
I'm, bursting. Let's go outside.
It's all occupied. What should we do?
Come on. Let's get outside!
My name is Dong Dong. I'm 18.
When I was a kid, someone told me...
...that I was born in the public toilet in the backyard.
At first I didn't believe it.
When I was older, my Grandma told me one day...
...that she actually picked me up in the toilet.
That's why I was nicknamed the "God of Toilets" around here.
What's wrong?
A young woman has just fainted in there!
Grandma went looking for my mother at the hospital...
...but she couldn't locate her.
It was nice and warm
curling inside Grandma's arms.
She was all I have in the family.
The public toilet near my place is a legend in itself.
My neighbours told me that it has a history of over 40 years.
So you can imagine how much excrement and genitals...
...it must have received
and witnessed.
This toilet is
busy throughout the day.
When I go there with my friends,
we can't even find a vacant space.
It's no big deal for me...
...but my foreign schoolmates were totally shocked.
They called the scene "a communal dump".
It's no less busy even at night.
Always in the middle of the night...
I'd be awoken by the foul smell.
Suits me well, I guess, 'cause I'm "God of Toilets".
This toilet here, should there be pee in it?
Shit, yes, piss, no.
Maybe it could use some diuretic.
I checked twice,
it's all shit, no pee!
That's news!
Watch out, Dong Dong!
You almost got us killed.
Where are you going so early?
Hospital. What are you doing here?
Waiting for the toilet!
See ya! Bye!
Dong Dong..."God of Toilets"!
Tell Grandma
we'll go see her this afternoon.
Li and Zhang,
these two pals are as old as the hills.
Grandma said when they were young,
they both liked her.
And she liked them, too.
But she couldn't decide
on who to marry.
Perhaps she felt if she chose Li, Zhang would be hurt...
...and vice versa.
So here they all are, years later...
...and she didn't marry
either of them.
Nor did they marry
any other woman.
Naughty kid! Go home!
Your Grandma said
you filmed a thief in the toilet, didn't you?
She didn't believe it!
I do.
Something like that happened in Guangzhou a few years back.
They said there's gold in the pee. That's why they tried steal it!
Stop your nonsense!
Haven't you heard of virgin's urine?
Many countries are conducting studies on it...
...and said that can be used as a medicine
for all kinds of illness!
Cut the crap! I'll go now...!
Grandma, I'm leaving.
We'll talk more next time.
When will you let me look at your video camera?
Sheng, turn it off!
Grandma likes to watch them.
How are you today, granny?
I'm fine.
Kido, how do you feel?
Alright. Granny, did you go to the toilet today?
Not yet.
I did. I did it three times.
Grandma is constipated... Shut your mouth!
Doctor, can you tell me...
...what's wrong with my brother.
Sure.
Didn't you say he only has three...
Let's go outside and talk.
This boy here is my pal Tony's brother.
He's staying in the hospital next door...
...and just loves coming to play with Grandma and me.
My Grandma is almost 70 now...
...whereas the boy is only 12
and hasn't started his life yet.
Drink up! Go on!
This is my pee, cheers!
It's so yellow. Are you sick or something?
Old folks said it tastes just like beer
and cures.
It's good for your health!
My dear, shall we take this toilet
with us when we leave?
Yes.
Ma, do we have to take that as well?
Of course, don't we do this every year?
Okay.
Is there someone the toilet, my dear?
I'm not sure.
It's the sound of flushing.
I don't know. Strange.
Where are you from? Aren't you cold?
How can you swim in this weather?
I didn't mean to come here.
I was swimming South. It's cleaner and warmer there.
You're from North Korea?
Believe it or not, I'm a creature from the sea.
Uncle, moving out so early?
Where is she?
Gone.
Gone? I thought she was sick?
Yup. Poor girl.
Come on! It's no big deal.
I'm sick too. But you never cared about me.
You're not a girl!
That's true.
Is she pretty?
Who?
The girl you talked over the phone.
Very pretty...
There's a toilet over there, pal.
Don't pee here!
What's wrong?
We used to pee together.
This is my home!
Got anything to eat?
Who's she? Is that the girl?
Yes! Seafood. She wants some seafood.
I'll get you some! Be right there!
I'll take this, okay?
Let's go together!
Don't feed her with those junks. Give her this!
Is she really sick? Look how happy she is!
You're right, she's very pretty!
Do you fancy her?
Cut it out!
You won't admit it?
Concentrate on the road!
You may take a look at her X-ray.
She doesn't have any bones!
What cigarettes are these?
Good stuff, my dad brought them from Italy.
My friend Stone is Italian. His parents...
...are reporters working in Beijing.
Shirwa, on the other hand, is son of the Somalian ambassador.
He and Stone were born in Beijing.
Like me, they use chopsticks.
And like me, they sing, gamble,
smoke, and pick up girls.
I believe when they return to their home countries...
...they would feel like foreigners.
You're smoking again?
You sound like my Dad!
"No smoking! No smoking" all the time.
This place is so filthy!
It's a toilet, man!
"No smoking! No smoking"
My mum says that, too. "No smoking." Bull!
Cut the crap!
What a waste!
It's my cigarette, I'll waste it if I want!
It's pointless arguing with you Italians!
What's wrong with your little brother?
What's his diagnosis?
Stomach cancer.
Doesn't surprise me.
You Chinese eat anything.
The poor stomach has to take everything.
What do you mean? Am I wrong?
What about you Italians
and your Spaghetti?
Don't you know the Chinese saying... You know what...
..."Diseases enter by the mouth; misfortunes issue from it"
He's right. See? He opines with me
You two are so full of shit!
My brother is only 12.
What bad food could he have eaten?
Come over here! What?
A chic.
Gone.
Sheng, could you please help me relief myself.
You're such a pain, I'm watching a video.
Watch it later.
I'm bursting.
Get a nurse!
I beg you.
Watch it later, okay?
Okay
thank you
Hurry, take it off.
Alright. Slowly.
Hurry up. You sure know when to shit.
This machine is truly wonderful. Thank you, kido.
Good to see you!
Your grandma's missing!
Missing?
She asked me to accompany her
to the toilet last night.
Said it was Ionely to shit by herself.
I know what she means.
I've seen people gethering doing it.
And called a "Communal Dump".
That was fun! You surely won't find it Ionely!
How can you poke fun at your grandma?
She can't be missing.
Is No. 2 back?
She hasn't returned since morning.
She's packed her stuff.
Dunno where she's gone!
She hasn't returned? Negative.
Let's go look for her. She can't be far.
I'll check the toilet.
Not the men's room!
What are you doing?
Iook at these footprints.
Some people do have strange habits.
Only uncivilized people do that.
The Red Army fears not the Long March.
Thinks nought of a thousand hills and rivers.
The Red Army fears not the Long March.
Thinks nought of a thousand hills and rivers.
The Wuling Ridges spreads out in ripples.
The Wumeng Range rolls up balls of clay.
Misty cliffs washed by the water of the Golden Sand.
Cold iron chains wide as the Great Ferry.
A thousand acres of snow...
...on the Min Mountain, delight...
...my troops who bade them farewell.
Ever since she went to that sing-along gathering in the park...
...Grandma had had a stroke and is now in a coma.
I can see the two old-timers...
...worrying about her all day long...
I don't know how to help them.
It was Grandma's sixty-eighth birthday.
They were going to
sing her a birthday song.
But she collapsed as soon as
they finished Chairman Mao's "The Long March".
Grandma once told me that...
...most Gods of Toilets in history were women.
And all them came
from the lower class.
Child-birth was seen as a filthy activity.
So babies were born in toilets.
When the Heavenly Father learned of this...
...He named them Gods of Toilets
out of empathy.
Despite the sad fact that I was born in a toilet...
...cradled in shit...
...and milked by urine,
I still don't see...
...why Grandma had to suffer
all these pains...
...like medication,
injections and surgery...
I couldn't bear to witness her
mind slipping away from us...
...into total oblivion.
Thus I made the quickest decision of my life.
Excuse me.
Do you know this address?
The door was locked.
How did you open it?
I don't know.
No one's around, I'm coming in!
Doesn't it stink down there?
Why?
Are you talking about your own smell?
When we're young, we ate the waste from fish
because of teeth weren't strong enough,
You like to eat us, didn't you?
Just imagine. Shit comes out through the anus.
It's nothing but the waste of digested food.
Why, then, you don't eat human feces? It'll make more sense.
Fish need more nutrient than us,
so we let them eat.
But because of pollution,
we were deprived of our food.
In the end my parents
made us eat fish wastes.
They turned out to be more nutritious.
Theirs were only darker than ours.
No wonder your shit is so dark.
No, it's not shit. It's urine!
Who is it? Who the hell is in there?
It's me, I can't come out now!
Can you go up the hill, dad?
Shit!
Sorry.
Who was that?
My dad. He came to feed you.
I told him to go away.
Do you wanna see a doctor?
I've heard that you're really sick.
Maybe we can find
some miracle drug.
Impossible!
You're wrong. If you don't try you'll never find out.
Where are you?
I'm on the street.
Are you on the street?
I can't hear! Lousy mobile!
Where are you?
The Great Wall! Your dad gave me an address!
Do you have to go that far?
I thought you were in Beijing.
Stay where you are and don't move about, Sam!
Go on! I hear you!
Can you hear me?
I'm scared!
What are you scared of?
I don't have anyone except my mother.
You have me! Do you hear?
Are you serious about the promise you made to me?
I promise. This is my last job.
Relax!
The most important thing is to get
the best doctor for your mother!
What did you say? The reception is very bad here!
I said, find the best doctor!
I'll always love you!
Cometh Heavenly Mother...
Get out! Stop tampering with our villagers!
You fraud! Damn you! You fraud! Damn you!
You cold-blooded killer!
Stop!
Who is the one behind you?
Who's your patient?
Who's your closest relative?
Do you want treatment or not?
Don't listen to other people.
I'm cursed. I'm sick again!
I can't go fishing with you anymore.
Go by yourself.
Just my luck... my girl
and my best friend both got sick.
I'm not like you.
Mum said my illness is hereditary... it came from my father.
The doctor said I won't see forty.
Don't listen to that shit.
It's not shit.
I know it's still eighteen years away...
...but it's bad omen to have met a boneless sea creature!
Forget it! I've bought you some crabs.
They say if you keep them alive in the a tank...
...you'll live a longer life, too.
No kidding.
If dad is better in the next few months,
he'll take us to New Delhi.
Don't worry!
Our parents are religious.
If they say it'll work, it will.
It's very rare to see a Japanese blond.
Aren't you rare, too.
You speak Cantonese?
I beg your pardon. I'm Joe, this is my brother.
What's your name?
I'm Tony!
Where do you live in Hong Kong?
I'm from Beijing.
Beijing? It's very far.
What are you doing in India?
Looking for a magic drug for my brother!
All of you come with me... trust me.
In India,
"Ganga" is a very important holy place.
Everyday, there are people from all over India...
Do you know why they go?
If you could wash your body with the holy water...
...it would bless your family.
Do you want to know the truth of your brother's problems?
The "Ganga" will answer all your worries.
Look at me! I don't want to be a dead man.
That's why I am here to find the holy ashes...
You believe that?!
If not, my brother is going to die.
Son, don't give up.
What you are doing is what Indians called "wise man".
Do you know what this means?
I don't know.
Sure... how old are you?
Eighteen.
Tony was on a quest for his brother.
From now on,
our group of friends have split up... each to his own destiny.
Each on a different journey.
Tony once laughed at me!
I'm God of Toilets because I was born in a toilet!
If I'd been born in a stable...
...I could have been another Jesus!
The world would have been a more interesting place.
Stone went back to Italy to continue his university studies.
We asked why he didn't do university in China before he took off...
- since he was
born there -
He said he didn't want to be an Italian
who doesn't know the history of Italy.
Just wait here, I'll be back soon.
Young man, you've come all the way from China...
...to find a cure for your Grandma...
...I'm really touched, but...
...I have to be frank. Your theory is wrong.
It's true that Korean ginseng can affect cancer...
...but in Chinese medicine,
we believe it promotes health...
...and so it's better
at preventing cancer.
This means that it's good only as a supplement medicine.
Doctor. Excuse me.
Doctor, I've found it. Take a look.
I'm sorry, I'm so busy. That is all I can do.
Your illness
isn't a common one.
It's kind of new, too,
something like AIDS.
It started in the West. Difficult to explain.
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
Young man, I'll tell you the truth...
...I can't help you, go home!
We're both Chinese, so it's free of charge.
But I was told that Korean ginseng truly works.
I AM a Korean!
It just does not perform miracles!
A Chinese came here looking for ginseng...
...to cure his Grandma, what a joke!
If such terminal desease can be cured,
you might as well drink piss
I thought it's kind of popular to drink urine now?
In Japan, China, Southeast Asia...
But we ARE Koreans.
So?
We're Asian, aren't we?
I'm just trying to help this lady here.
You want to be cured? You've gotta be tough.
It's your life. Maybe you should give it a try.
Let's go!
Anything wrong, young lady?!
What I said are all medically proven!
I was just trying to help you!
Don't worry. We are here with you.
Dong Dong is looking for a magic drug for you.
Magic doctor!
Just the same. We're here to look after you!
If you want to eat, just get up!
Want to shit, get up!
Dong Dong was found in a toilet and adorped as her family,
If she had chosen you, I would rather be dead.
...but I'd have wanted you to die more!
Well, I'm alive and well and am standing in front of you.
You've defecated again? Can eat as well as shit!
If you have come more often,
I'd shit less. I miss you
Thank you, please come to see us often!
Sheng, what are you doing here?
My water pistol was missing.
Missing? Was it stolen?
Yup, those two blabbermouths did.
Don't accuse people. Do you have any prove?
It has to be them.
Forget it. You still have your video movies.
The Korean film you recommended last time...
...was a gem.
Great special effects.
They got me so excited...
...I had to take another dump!
What happened to the crabs?
Dead?
No... missing!
Stolen?
No one would steal just crabs...
...and leave other fishes!
Perhaps they escaped?
Bullshit! How could they?
They were kept in the tank.
Isn't it weird?
I took her to see a Chinese doctor the other day.
He told her to drink urine.
Guess what happened?
She punched him!
It's true! She really punched the doctor!
You're exaggerating, aren't you?
No. What a wonderful girl!
Then take good care of her.
Yes, I will.
Shit, why don't you take good care of me?
I will.
Thank you
for being my friend all these years.
What's up?
Let's not wait till
we're reaching forty to part...
Let's do it now!
Why?
I've decided to Find a magic drug for a cure.
Stop kidding. Keep your words.
Just go and be back soon.
I won't come back until I've found a cure.
Take care. I'll miss fishing with you.
Honestly, I'm deeply touched by her actions.
At least, she would never give up.
Here's my key.
Look after my octopus.
I am sorry, they are all in bed already.
I need to go to bathroom. Could you please help me?
Of course.
They are all very tired now.
Why don't you come with me to the "Ganga"?
It is a very respected place for the dead.
Do you know what is the most wanted thing...
...for all the Hindus?
I've got no idea...
It is at the "Ganga Varnas".
...you take your last breath.
And the wave, the flame and the smoke...
...from the river, take you to the heaven...
...to have an eternal life through reincarnation.
Thank you, my son. Thank you.
Who is going to help me with my pants?
Sorry. I'll help!
Please help me.
What a shame. Look at me...
I am a guy even a doctor won't try to save.
Sometimes, I wish to die.
Sometimes, I wish to live.
I guess I'm the worst Hindu.
Mr. Kin, please don't call me after this job.
I promised my girl it's my last one.
No, I'm not sick.
I'll find something to do.
You taught me to be a man of principles, didn't you?
I said I promised her.
Relax!
Stone? Dong Dong here,
guess where I am!
Who knows? Beijing?
No, New York
New York in the US?
Bingo!
New York, where you Italians
kill each other in the movies.
Are you joking, God of Toilets?
I'm serious! What are you doing there?
I'm here to find some magic drug!
I have to be paid much more than the last time!
I told you I promised my girl.
I know what I'm doing! ...I may start a business.
I'll learn Mandarin and do trading in China.
Do you know any magic doctor in Italy?
Magic doctors? No.
Are you sure?
I thought your country has a long history of ancient civilization.
You speak very good Mandarin! Where are you from?
Beijing! That's very far!
I'm from Hong Kong! You understand my Cantonese?
Yeah! You're also looking for a magic doctor?
Yes, for my Grandma!
My girlfriend is in China with her Mum
looking for a magic doctor there!
Where?
The Great Wall!
The Great Wall, so far away!
It's in Beijing, isn't it?
What a coincidence!
You've come here to save someone, and I, to kill!
Kill?
You don't believe me?
Diseases kill more people than guns,
right?
When cancer spreads...
...no patient would want to be cut up.
A boss of mine was shot
ten times two years ago.
He saw my crying face when he was dying.
He smiled and told me that death is not scary.
To the unconcerned, death isn't something tragic.
Can you do me a favor?
This'll be my last job...
Let's swap camera. Will you film it for me?
...I want it to be a souvenir.
Do you know what that's called?
The Statue of Liberty.
Wrong! It's the Doctor of Liberty!
People flocked to America
just to take a look at her!
It's Tony!
Tony, over here!
You two really came to bathe in that water?
Come to join us!
Don't worry,
it is not like the Yellow River in China.
Come! Come!
It's like our Indian movies. It removes all the pressure from us.
What do you say, son?
He grew up with only HK movies. What does he know?
But Indian movies are like medicine...
It removes all the pressures and sufferings of everything.
Not like you Chinese people,
they always carry a tense expression.
Come on!
What kind of a psycho is this,
always hide a gun here?
Why don't you hide some money?
Who do you think you are?
If you don't put the money here,
I'll shoot you!
Seems like you're more nervous than I am. Relax!
I'm a pro.
When you hear the gunshot and see me coming out...
...remember to do a close-up on my face.
Alright, wait here for me.
Don't stop, keep the camera running!
Frankly, I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't even know if this guy Sam
is a wacko.
Maybe I'm a wacko myself!
What's wrong?
Hey! Hey! Go away!
What's the secret password?
Shut up!
Who's the freak?
Hey! Did I say you can come in here?
Shut the fuck up! Get your hands off me!
Do you think you can find the money?
Here he is, it's about time.
Hey! What's the secret password?
Back off, freak!
You got it?
Yeah! He's cool man.
I got to take a pee.
Don't use my soap! Use your own!
Knock yourself out.
Yeah! Take a dump.
Don't stink up the place though.
Hey! Tough guy! Yeah! You! Tough guy!
Tough guy! I'm talking to you. Yeah, you!
Looking for something?
Is that what you're looking for?...
Woo! Watch out!
Jesus!
Go...
Watching Sam's tape repeatedly...
...is like imprinting an image on my memory.
It's like a film which stays in my mind.
May be at the moment of his death...
...his soul would ascend to heaven...
...and ahead of him would be a tunnel with no end.
Leading the way would be a halo...
I'm not sure if that halo represent eternal life.
But the tunnel is indeed like our large intestines...
...grown with tumours and sores
which keep our waste from being excreted...
...instead turning it into garbage of the body...
...transpiring a distinctive...
...as well as repulsive stench.
Dong Dong, where are you?
In the US, and you?
Still in India.
How are you?
Me? I'm injured!
Injured?
A strange thing happened yesterday.
I became the accomplice of someone who has died!
An accomplice? Tell me the story.
It's just an accident.
Have you found your magic doctor?
Not Yet...
but I met two Indian brothers from Hong Kong.
Excuse me.
Do you know where this hotel is?
Excuse me. Have you seen two Indian boys?
One of them has the similar hair
colour as me?
Yes, they've gone to the hospital,
...taking their father to the hospital.
Probably,
their father will have an operation today.
My dad decided to have an operation
after drinking from the Ganga River.
He said the doctors here and the doctors in Hong Kong are very different.
The former don't worry so much about the spreading of cancer.
You made it sound so magical. I mean, bathing in the water cures everything?
If you believe, everything will work out fine.
I hope I'll believe in it. But the water tastes awful.
Think of it as Chinese medicine.
Is that so? Well, as long as it works,
I'll do whatever I have to do.
When are you coming to Beijing?
Beijing is too far.
Come to Hong Kong. I'll take you around.
Where do you live in Hong Kong?
The public toilet on Chun Yuen Street in the Wanchai district!
The public toilet?
Yup. My father is the famous
"God of Toilets"!
"God of Toilets"?
Yup. He's the janitor of that public toilet.
We eat and drink there and our house is on the second floor.
The locals gave him that name.
How long have you lived there?
We were there since I was born.
So you were born in Hong Kong?
Yup. Ever since my father got this illness...
...we've been taking turns cleaning the toilet!
Singh, is your father in?
He went to the hospital for a check-up.
Tell him Mr. Chan
from across wants him.
He won't be back for a while. Anything urgent?
Nothing.
Just want to ask him when he will treat me to his curry.
Do you have to study Chinese?
Sure, how else could I talk to you in Chinese?
Those public toilets are very complicated...
...busy in the day and beggar stays there for the night.
So annoying.
What are you looking at? Are you finished?
I'm eating coal!
The toilet is closing!
Why don't you go back to India?
Well, your father doesn't count
as a genuine "God of Toilets".
I have a friend who was actually born in a public toilet.
He's the genuine "God of Toilets".
Well, let's just say your friend is the "Beijing God of Toilets",
...and my dad is the "Hong Kong God of Toilets".
Okay... So this trip back to India...
It's our first time to India...
Your first time?
Who do you think you are, Hong Kongese or Indian?
In Hong Kong, we're aliens
In India,
In India, we're foreigners
Pathetic!
Pathetic! Do you like India?
I'll stay here with dad.
How about you?
I prefer Hong Kong.
Our place would need someone to take care of, too.
Look, that's cool!
Yeah?
My friend's on a long trip.
You may move to his place.
But his toilet isn't connected to the sea.
I like yours better.
Careful! Easy...
I'd better go.
Why?
There's nothing here for me,
I must go South.
I'll tell them
to leave the toilet behind.
Can I still live with you?
Thank you for your help.
You're most welcome...
Can you let me know your name?
Yes. How is it written?
"Lee", plus the character for water.
Son,
what are you doing there? Come and help!
Alright, coming!
Leave him alone. Don't you want a daughter-in-law?
So your name is also connected to water.
I'm a sea creature, aren't I?
The toilet is ready, let's go!
Dad, wait!
Wait, dad, don't take that away!
The toilet fell off!
Are you Sam's girlfriend?
He left this for you.
You're from Korea?
I'm Chinese.
That looks like a Korean book to me.
I'm learning Korean.
I just came from Korea. I'm Korean.
You are Korean? Yup.
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for Ganoderma, a Chinese herbal medicine. Ganoderma?
I thought that's only from martial arts novels.
No kidding?
It's old hat anyway.
People eat Snow Lotus now.
This little box is simply amazing!
We had to walk miles to go
see a movie in the old days!
Grandma, look.
Look at this. A smiling face... now a long face.
Did you see? Give me a smile, Grandma.
Can't shit?
Gathering!
I should have borrowed Dong Dong's camera to film you.
Shut up!
Show it to our descendents!
Constipation makes me sick.
It's like I can't breathe!
It's wrong than a terminal decease.
Now, there's a story...
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a royal doctor...
He's responsible for examining the excrements...
...of the emperor and the royal family.
Instead of checking the pluses,
he would examine their excrements by smelling thems...
...to see if they stank or smelled pleasantly.
He would also check the colour and texture.
...whether they are dark, light or dry.
He would be able to diagnose simply from that.
Isn't that wonderful?
He could surely diagnose other people...
...but he just couldn't do it for himself.
Like me, he was constipated.
He simply couldn't shit.
No matter how he grinded his teeth and pushed,
I heard there was once a little boy...
It's snowing quite heavily.
I still can't shit. No?
Take your time. I'll go and take a nap.
I'll
be back.
Walk slowly. It's slippery. Seeyal.
Li said
Zhang died instantly...
It's a quick and painless death.
Kind of blesseing.
He died on the toilet,
and that deserves recognition.
If I'm a God,
then he should be a Saint.
Sheng's friend Fatty also passed away,
but unlike Zhang...
...he died in the middle of a shit exploration.
Mr. Li thought it was a good way to go on pile of shit.
Body and soul would be in unison.
From cradle to grave,
it's all part of life's rich tapestry.
It's the truth of "There's no magic herb in where ales,
but from the heart"
Fatty! Where are you?
You're suffering
from the material world's...
...complete emptiness and the pain of debt.
That we, Indians, are the same.
We are suffering from the pressure, from the responsibility...
...of country and our people.
I believe everyone who lives in that situation...
...will have the same wonders of life.
I am sorry, I suggest you keep moving.
I respect what you're doing.
If you cannot find the cure in India...
...you can try Arabia, or even Rome, or Egypt...
Can you walk?
You're joking. Right?
Walking is a very common thing
in our life.
Not only when walking or going out, we have to walk.
Most people including the wise men or non-religious people...
...they walk in the same routine.
Come and go, follow their own way.
We call this kind of behaviour a religious practice...
...which can cure sickness and cure indigestion.
Sometimes, walking can also help meeting new friends.
That's why people in India
have a very close relationship.
What are they doing over there?
They are showing a movie. A movie?
Yes. You mean over there?
Have you seen it? A musical.
Look! Even though the people live in sufferings...
...you can still find the religious happiness.
We don't see movies that often in China.
Is it because life is getting better?
I should go, thank you for your help. Thank you.
It's just as well he's gone.
I don't have to fight with him anymore...
Shuhua, let's get married.
It's up to you. We don't have to.
We would live happily ever after.
What do you say?
I'm approaching the end of my life, too.
Life and death are so common yet inevitable.
I have only one regret, though: We never got married...
Shuhua, wake up!
Don't leave me all alone!
This long journey is like a rite of passage
for Tony and me.
It's an invaluable and moving experience,
unforgettable, too.
For once, I have given up the hope for the magic drug...
...but upon seeing your loved
ones fighting to stay alive...
...you would start to strengthen you faith.
I remember the night I heralded the new millennium...
...by standing in the snow
in New York's Times Square...
...I could smell the truth
beckoning me on.
I promise myself that I would use the boundless passion of my youth...
...to find this magic drug.
Tony, it's Dong Dong. Are you still in India?
Yup. And I'm peeing on the sidewalk.
Nobody care, it's really cool.
The street must stink!
Yeah!
But a doctor here told me that urine contains lots of "essence" in it.
Remember
we made Stone drink urine?
Do you know...
...that one ton of urine only makes 10 milligrams of the "essence"?
Apparently,
there's a factory that processes virgin's urine.
Really? Let's go find it.
Only fools rush in!
Well, we are fools, aren't we?
I don't know whether
I should believe in you or not.
Your Grandma said that you grew up on drinking urine...
...I bet you must have eaten shit for your meal, too.
You're destined to lead us
onto this quest for the...
When you see me coming out...
...remember to do a close-up on my face.
Seems like you're more nervous than I am. Relax!
I'm a pro.
Alright, wait here for me.
Honestly, I'm scared shitless, not of killing someone...
...but for not knowing
what to do afterwards...
Would you do me a favour in case
something happens to me...
Please deliver this tape to my girlfriend.
Tell her that I love her, forever and ever!
Sorry,
I promise to go find the magic doctor with you next time.
Human failures have brought about destructive of the future.
Diseases, pollution, war, natural disasters...
Everything rages on like a mountain fire...
What kind of technology can bring
a stop to all of these?
