Not even a wildfire ...

... not even a wildfire can burn all the weeds

They'll grow back in the spring breezes

The new century's first springtime...

... is approaching us

Datong City (North China), 2001

Come on, your turn to sing

Go ahead

Come on

I can't sing

Go on

I'll give you the rhythm, ready?

Friends are hard to find along life's road

But friends make the journey better

They know what you think ...

... what you feel in your soul

Let us be friends forever

That's it

Your turn, I'm done

You're next

Your turn

Sing another song

I need a break

Come on, don't be shy

It's Women's Day, have some fun

You do the 'Ode to Heroes' very well

Or you could do the one we did last time

Just get up here!

- You start it - Get up

You do the man's part

Is she making fools of us?

You sing the woman's part, I'll join in

- Her voice suits the man's part - Is my voice deeper?

Birds pair up in the trees

The bends of the rivers and hills turn into smiles

Our sorrows are at an end at last

Ahead lies our lovely home

Our trusty shelter from all the storms

That's all I remember

I'm not good at singing, auntie

It's worse when I'm performing

Sing another one

I never thought who I would love

Or who would cause me distress

I never thought about being right

My eyes are vacant

Facing myself...

... leaves me bereft

I forgot the rest

Phoenix Infonews, CNE TV and North America Chinese Channel...

... now bring you the world news

Ladies and gentlemen...

Please show your appreciation

As we welcome our performers

Let's hear it for...

... tonight's star performance

He's attaching the chains to his eyelids

It's very scary, the girls will look away

Any young ones, don't imitate this!

Hey, sweetie!

Don't be stuck-up!

President Jiang Zemin warmly welcomed the delegation

He said that China's accession to the WTO...

... will provide a new step forward ...

... for Sino-US economic and trade relations

"Workers' Cultural Palace"

"Music, Song, Dance, Tea"

"A taste of the world's beauty"

When I took on the lease...

... there was nothing here

I've started the cleaning-up

This portrait of Chairman Mao ...

... had been discarded...

... out the back with the firewood

I retrieved it

I plan to hang it up here

When I saw the side was burnt...

... I thought it should be repaired

But people said...

One old guy told me to leave it as it was

Keep the original color

Because it looks natural and good

That's why I've kept it like this

Back when I took over this place

The former manager told me...

Those workers who'd retired...

... had been left with nothing to do

He convinced me to take over the place

As long as I could keep it open

So that the elders in the community

The retired mineworkers

They could spend time here and have some fun

- Here in the hall? - Yes

For opera, not pop songs?

Opera is more popular

Especially the local Shanxi bangzi opera

Now it's mostly opera shows

Do you charge an entrance fee?

No, it's free of charge, anyone can come in

Then how do you make money?

I collect money from the women

Ten yuan a day each

Anybody can sing if they're up to it

That's how it works

How many singers do you have?

Seven or eight

The singers...

Do they even enjoy performing in a place like this?

It's all about making a living

They make more than ten yuan a day

Like any other workers

Some laid-off women join in

They sing Shanxi opera

I live on the yellow earth

Gales blow across the Loess Plateau

From the northeast, from the southwest

The sound of the wind is my song

You got here, sit down

No, sit with me

The world endures

We're just passing through

Tides rise and fall

There's compassion, there's enmity

There's birth, there's death

Who can see through it all

Life races ahead, love runs deep

All things must pass

One half sober, one half drunk

Enjoying your company in my dreams

I gamble youth for a better tomorrow

You could follow your heart too

Time can't count mankind's sorrows

But why not break free to try another way?

Come on, don't be stingy!

That's very kind!

At six in the evening, I get off work

Change out of the pharma uniform

My wife is cooking congee

I'll go for a beer or two

That's how my life has gone for thirty years

Until the whole edifice comes down

The darkness once buried deep in the clouds...

... devours the landscape in my heart

Visit the International Trade Mall!

The latest fashions for export, made in Guangzhou!

Win a prize while shopping!

You are most welcome!

I really, really miss you

You're the dawn of my life

The frozen winter has long gone

But in your heart, I stayed

This is for you, Little Sister

I don't drink, enjoy yourselves

Have some tea instead

You said the wrong thing

Better call her Big Sister

I like that

Big sister

Enjoy yourselves

Big Sister

I love you as a mouse loves rice! I could eat you up bit by bit

I'll drown you in love like adding hot water to cup noodles!

We won!

China won!

"Congratulations on Beijing's successful Olympics Bid!"

Thanks, everyone

For bringing your love to our event

We are a state-owned enterprise

A new model of state partnership

"Drink Shanxi Fen Liquor" "Cheer for the Beijing Olympics"

"I want to leave and have a try outside"

"Once I get settled I'll come to fetch you"

Come along with me

We depart at the break of dawn

We've woken from our dreams

Don't be afraid

There is somewhere...

... that we'll be able to call home

So close yet so far

"Third Stage Water Level 156,3 metres"

I am here from Datong looking for you

No word from you for so long, I'm worried

2006 Fengjie City Three Gorges (Southwest China)

I want a personal ring tone

We are Super Girls

Our ring tone is 'Want to Sing and Sing'

Sing as you want, sing out loud

The water level in the Three Gorges reservoir project...

... is approaching 156 metres

Reports say that when the water reaches this critical level ...

... twelve districts between Hubei and Chongqing will be submerged

So far, 1,16 million people have been relocated and resettled

Gentlemen, what are you up to?

It's been a week and you haven't finished

It's raining, the materials haven't come

We're short-handed

I hired you to do the work, what happens now?

More people, more money

What should I do?

This mark on my arm...

... was my damn husband's name

He wasn't local

A grad from a vocational school came to Panzhihua for work

I took him in

It was summer, hot weather

I waved fans for him

I let him fall asleep before I did

When I got pregnant...

... my sister came to look after me

Those two bastards got together

- What? - Is she really your sister?

I wish she wasn't, it'd be less painful

I literally grabbed a knife

I wanted to kill them both

No, it'd be breaking the law

I don't care about the law

I follow the Lord

Thank you, Lord...

... for bringing us together

When I think of you...

... your kindness always warms my heart

You turn sorrow into joy

You're the one we forever cherish

When I think of you...

... I remember all the tears you shed

Attention, all passengers relocating from Fengjie to Guangdong!

The boat will be ready for boarding in thirty minutes

We kindly request everyone to board in an orderly manner

Hello

You're about to leave for Guangdong

How do you feel about it?

It's for the Three Gorges Project

We're doing this for our country

So far so good

Brother Bin

Brother Bin

- Where's my guest from Lanzhou? - He's in Hawaii

How do you greet a guest?

Welcome sir, please come in

Do I have to remind you again to speak proper Mandarin?

Welcome sir, please come in

Brother Bin, please have some tea

You can go

Blondie, how do you like it here?

It's OK

OK? That means not great

I'd prefer to work for you

There is something going on at the pier

Get a few 'brothers' together...

... and sort it out for me

Brother Pan

Shall we discuss that money at the end of the year?

All this travelling back and forth...

You shouldn't be paying it yourself

Should you?

I'll need at least a hundred thousand...

... to take back

That's serious money

I'm not the one to decide

Let me check with Sister Ding, alright?

I've got brothers relying on me

Same here

Give me a break, will you? We're all brothers

Fuck, the same old shit

I'll go now, sir

Serve it to Brother Pan

Brother Bin

Put it down

Give me a leg massage

Sorry, I don't know how

It's OK, just use some pressure

Work on the thighs

Is it raining outside?

Yes, it's very cloudy

No wonder the scar hurts like a bitch

How did you get it?

Have a guess

I'd rather not

You want to be my 'little brother'?

Let's go

Sister,

I am missing five hundred

You took it, didn't you?

Pay up

Now!

Quick!

What's wrong with you? Not answering my calls or messages

Ladies and gentlemen

... please contact the Top-Clever sales representative

My advantage is that I have no sadness

I want to go back to the city of wind

Why

Never mind

- How are you, Governor? - Hello, Ms, Ding

Forgive me...

We got caught up on the way

Bin, come over

Excuse me, Mr, County Governor

How's the demolition going?

Very well

Is it on schedule?

- Yes, it is - No problems

I'd have to jump off this wall if you let me down

If that happened, I'd jump with you

I trusted you with this huge project

It's a big responsibility for me

Needless to say, sir

You've mentioned it several times

Blondie, get to work tomorrow, efficiently

Get more hands if you need them

I see

Hello?

Hello?

The best thing would be to set up some new accounts for me

Take care of ...

... your air ticket and passport

Don't look for anyone when you reach Yichang

Just take a cab directly to the airport

I know

You helped me delay the crisis here

I'm the one who signed those contracts

They can't do anything to you

Alright

I owe you

I will definitely pay you back in my next life

Then you'll need to hurry

Don't wait until you turn forty

I charged your card with some money

Manage it well, making money is not easy

I know

Get going

Take him down

Beat him, make him hurt

Another rainy and windy night

In the foreign city

Raindrops caught in the streetlights

Reflecting the sorrows in my heart

The young man

Has no idea

Where he is headed

Drifting far away

Lonely on a rainy night in a harbor city

"Yangtze River Police Station"

- Brother Pan? - Hi, Brother Bin

What are you doing up here?

I came to look after a little brother

- And you? - I'm meeting the chief officer

Let's have dinner sometime, it's duck soup season

What an idiot

Doesn't he know what's he's up for? Far too cocky

Here's your receipt for the boy's penalty

What's going on with him?

Don't you know?

He's under investigation, his boss ran away with big money

Is that the woman from Xiamen?

You're not local, is she that famous?

How have you been?

For so little money...

... was it worth laying into those sailors?

What if you'd killed someone?

Two tickets to Wuhan City

- Two? - Yes

OK, thank you

Hello, lady

If I'm not mistaken...

... you're not from around here, right?

Would you like to have your fortune told?

You look troubled

You might be having difficulties

Let me help you out

The difficulties are only temporary

Reading your face...

... you'll be happy and wealthy

Can I offer you some more blessings?

Some beautiful scenery ...

So the Qatar World Cup kicks off

Arabic style much in evidence

The 2022 Qatar World Cup opening ceremony...

... took place at AI Bayt Stadium last night

Brother Bin!

It's hot, have a drink

It must be snowing in the north?

I come from Chongqing

Where is Brother Pan?

He suddenly felt unwell

He's been rushed into the ICU

His arteries are clogged in three places

It's so sudden

He just sent me his location

I was right beside him when he sent it

I'll go see him in the hospital

No visits allowed during the pandemic

How about a video chat instead?

Sounds good

Hey, Brother Pan

Hi there, Zhou

Guess who's with me?

Brother Pan, I came to see you

Oh, Brother Bin!

How embarrassing to see me like this

Shameful!

- Boys, greet your Uncle Bin - Hi, Uncle!

Alright, time to eat

I thought Brother Pan preferred guys

How come he has two kids?

Keeping up appearances

Are you...?

No, I'm not

I'm definitely not

How's the business in Chongqing?

I worked in a small loan company as a consultant

But when the pandemic hit...

... things went downhill

I flew all this way...

... hoping to find things better ...

... here in the Great Bay Area

It's difficult everywhere right now

- Still running a business in Macau? - Nah, Macau is out

We make social network videos now

Brother Pan is an agent

Agent?

Hooking up with movie stars?

Do you use TikTok?

This is our TikTok artist Brother Xing

Brother Xing

Happy together

He's the hottest vlogger in the Pearl River Delta

He has 1,25 million followers on TikTok

With a hundred million watches across all social networks

How's the profit?

You know the 'celebrity effect'?

We make his name online

Then make money offline

It mostly comes from commercial activities

So, Zhou, in your business...

... what do you think I could do?

Action!

In wind and dust, in crazed pursuit

Singing with gusto, together

Look up

Slowly

Fearing neither life nor death

Not fearing heaven, born with bravery

Datong City (Northern China)

According to media reports in the USA ...

... the pandemic is widely on the rise

The US government lifted the order to wear facemasks prematurely ...

... and ended the other controls such as tracking and quarantine

This has caused a large number of infections

The US government’s overall response to the pandemic...

... must be defined as a frustrating failure

Here, I'll help you

"Shanxi Venue Code"

What brings tears to my eyes?

I can't catch a glimpse of you as you go

What chills my feelings?

I can't grasp the warmth we once shared

It's the rain's relentless patter that disturbs my peace

I can't even hear my own cries

Hi Qiaoqiao, going for a run?

Welcome to our supermarket

The first floor sells fresh food

Including vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood ...

The second floor...

How do you do, how can I help you?

Thank you for your visit

I am going to work

I am going to work

Thank you for your attention

How are you today?

I am sorry

I couldn't read your face

You look sad

Mother Teresa once said

If you love until it hurts...

... there can be no more hurt

Only more love

Mark Twain once said

The human race has one really effective weapon

And that is laughter

Spring

Flowers scent the air

Full of fantasy

But people still live the same life

We meet each other again

In the hot summer

You are wearing a red skirt

Looking especially pretty

Autumn

It feels pleasantly cool

Birds are still singing

But leaves are falling to the ground

We meet each other again

In the cold winter

You are wearing thick clothes

But you say you can't feel the warmth

The warmth that feels like spring

The warmth that feels like the first time I held you in my arms

I long for that feeling

Good evening

Today is Thursday December 1st

Lunar Calendar November 8th

First, news from the Qatar World Cup

Early this morning Beijing time, the last group-stage games ...

... in Groups C and D took place

Poland lost 0-2 to Argentina

Saudi Arabia lost 1-2 to Mexico

I moved back

There weren't many opportunities out there

Renting and eating are expensive

Here is much better

At least I've got my own place to stay

How about you?

Just standing up in the land of my birth
