"Watching opera, or dancing" "Mr. Fan, do you like dancing?" "I'm sorry, I don't know at all" "It's easy, you'll learn it in no time" "Yes, not difficult at all" "We've a group of friends who will go dancing at the Beijing Hotel" "Will you come too?" "Your father will be going too?" "I think so" "We'll be there" "Great" "I'll invite Mr. Fan to be my partner tonight" "I..." "Go on" "Who are you looking for?" "Nobody" "Feng Shian" "What is it?" "That guy is loitering outside our door don't know what he wants" "Who do you mean?" "It's that young fellow who listened to you singing" "He's been loitering around for a while" "What a weird guy!" "It's him?" "Yue Chin" "Who are you talking about?" "A nobody" "Damn kid, how dare he flirt!" "Who are you looking for?" "I'm going that way" "That's a dead end, you can't pass through" "I should be going that way" "Come and have a seat inside" "This is where I live" "Is it convenient?"

"And my 3rd uncle, one who played the instrument" "Where's your father?" "Passed away a couple of years ago." "If he had not" "I wouldn't have to sing for a living" "Mr. Fan, where are you working?" "I'm still studying" "You are a university student?" "You study to be in high position one day" "No, that isn't what I aspire" "I just want to do something for society one day" "Is this your photo?" "Does it look like me?" "Yes, did you take it you when you were a student?" "As soon as my father passed away" "I didn't have a chance to study again" "I want to study all these years but how could I afford that?" "So I had this photo taken as something to remember by" "It's a good thing to study" "Do you really want to study?" "Just wishing is no use" "Mr. Fan, have some tea" "It's just been made, sit..." "Thank you, auntie" "Don't call me that" "If you have time, come more often to support Feng Shian" "Miss Shen is very clever" "Wouldn't it be better for her to carry on studies?" "Studying further would mean a lot of money" "For us poor people, this is just a dream" "If you agree, I can help her with the fees" "Mr. Fan, to tell you the truth the whole family relies on Feng Shian to earn a living" "If she goes to study, how are we to support ourselves?" "I can pay for your monthly expenses" "We've just met, that might not be a good idea" "As long as this is good for Miss Shen" "I am willing to help" "Kid, why are you crying?" "Mom, I'm not crying, I'm too happy" "Mr. Fan has good intentions if I don't agree, I'll be too ungrateful" "But how could we repay you?" "Auntie, don't say that." "Miss Shen" "Tomorrow I'll go get some information about the schools" "I'll let you know as soon as possible" "You are leaving?" "I'll see you tomorrow" "Mr. Fan... you left something behind" "What?" "Check it later" "Mr. Fan" "Miss Kwan" "How come you are here?" "Looking for someone?" "No... you live in this alley?" "No... just round the corner" "Did you get the medicine?" "Dad was injured by those soldiers and hasn't healed" "Is he serious?" "I'll come with you to see him" "Here" "Kids, come for the dinner" "What are you looking at?" "Come on" "Mr. Fan, we live here" "Father, look who's here" "Uncle Kwan" "Mr. Fan" "Your wound hasn't healed" "Could it be an internal injury?" "What?" "One butt won't hurt me" "It's okay... sit here" "Dad, stop acting tough" "If you catch a cold, I have to take care of you" "You li'I girl!" "Never mind, it's tough on her" "She does everything for me" "God knows what I'd do without her!" "Dad, why do you say such things?" "People might laugh at you" "Mr. Fan is not a snobbish person" "What's the harm in talking, right?" "Why would I make fun of you?" "Uncle is a straight person and a tough guy" "I admire him" "You see?" "Have some tea" "I can't be wrong in judging others" "Uncle, although you say your wound is fine" "I think it'd be better to get a doctor to check it out" "Doctor?" "I don't have the money." "If I did I'd rather drink" "I could pay for the doctor's..." "No, don't" "Your presence is good enough" "I cannot accept money from you" "I need no pity from others" "I didn't mean that, I..." "No, you can't say anything to convince me" "Mr. Fan, my dad is obdurate he means what he says" "We do appreciate your kind intention though" "Alright" "Dad, why have you not taken the medicine?" "What for?" "Am I not cured?" "What the...?" "You've got some more medicine?" "Where did you get the money?" "I borrowed from aunt Li" "Borrowing money again?" "Don't be concerned about that" "Your health matters more." "Please take it" "Alright... get me the herbal tea" "Uncle, I'm leaving" "Do stay awhile" "No, I'll visit you again another day" "We'll meet on the bridge some time" "Why not stay longer?" "No, it's okay" "Well, so long then" "Look!" "Hmm, a kind-hearted young man!" "Master" "Miss Ho is here and wants to see you" "Now?" "At this hour?" "Where's my cousin?" "He's not home yet, please come down" "Just say I'm asleep" "That would be very embarrassing, sir" "Miss Ho calls several times a day and I kept telling her you're not in" "But now she's here in person it's not nice to offend her" "Alright" "Jia Shu... can I address you by your first name?" "Yeah sure." "Have a seat please" "No thanks, it's too desolate here why don't we go to the Beijing Hotel instead?" "Miss Ho, I've been busy preparing for my exams these days, please forgive me for not being able to keep you company" "What exams?" "Dad can fix all that with a mere phone call" "No..." "Jia Shu, I've been here a couple of times and have called, do you know that?" "Yes" "So why didn't you return my call?" "Very sorry, I am really..." "Alright, I won't disturb you." "Go on with your studying" "I'm leaving" "I'm sorry" "Jia Shu, give me a call after your exams are over we can go to Shi Shan together and have some fun" "Alright, goodbye" "Goodbye" "Mom" "You're back?" "Mr. Fan please come in and have a seat" "Please" "Go in first, I'm coming" "Mom" "This money is given by Mr. Fan for our expenses" "Feng Shian, Mr. Fan has treated us so well" "You've to study hard to repay him" "I understand" "Sister-in-law, there's so much money" "Just a dollar?" "It's not enough for smoking and drinking" "This is for our household expenses how can you spend it wastefully?" "You call this household expense?" "Feng Shian has been sold cheaply" "What are you talking about?" "Rubbish" "Alright, never mind... one more dollar" "Hopeless" "How is it?" "You've progressed a lot" "It's all because of your help" "Go on with your study, I'm leaving" "Leaving?" "I'm afraid I'll interrupt your studies." "What is it?" "Come in here, I've something to talk to you" "What's so secret?" "Sit down" "Yes?" "Who else do you have in your family?" "Haven't I told you before?" "My home is in Hangchow, I've a mother and an uncle who operates a bank" "I'm not asking you this" "I'm asking if you have..." "I've got it, of course there is, also..." "Who else is there?" "Me" "Now you're teasing me" "Why are you asking me all this?" "I naturally have my reason for asking" "Alright, tell me" "I want to ask you two things" "I don't know whether you will give them to me" "What two things?" "First, I want a photo of yours" "What's that for?" "In my whole life, apart from my Mom you have been very good to me" "I want to put your picture on the wall and honour you like Bodhisattva" "You want to hang me on the wall" "Wouldn't you be starving me to death?" "I'm talking about your photo" "Of course I can, I'll certainly give you one" "What's the second thing?" "I want to ask you for a ring" "That's easy, what is it for?" "Maybe I'll give you a watch" "You dummy" "Me?" "That's right, I'm so dumb" "Are you willing to give it to me?" "Yes, of course" "Feng Shian, are you willing to marry me?" "No, I don't want a dumb guy like you" "I'm dumb?" "Yes" "Say that again" "I say you are dumb..." "You are dumb..." "Look, I cooked for you" "Auntie, I'm not hungry, I'm leaving" "I'll bring you the two things in a couple of days" "Watch your step" "I suppose he's seriously ill" "That's right." "Since you left my father's health has been deteriorating" "Be patient" "I said that I'll come back in two days but I didn't" "Had I come sooner, it wouln't be like this!" "I'm to be blamed" "How could this be your fault?" "You've helped us a lot already" "Has he seen the doctor?" "Once or twice" "But we couldn't afford, so..." "Keep a close watch on uncle, I'll go get a doctor" "Doctor, nothing serious I hope!" "It's very serious." "But if he is treated carefully most probably there shouldn't be a problem" "Go ahead, I'll take care of all the expenses" "The first thing you want is here" "Your photo" "I must hang it in my room" "and... this is the second thing" "Is it this?" "Like it?" "Yes, put it on for me" "Put it on this finger means staying unmarried this is engagement" "Is it supposed to be this one?" "You are bad, I want it to be this one" "Once you've put it on you will be a member of our Fan family" "Have you thought about it carefully?" "Totally decided?" "I have" "Miss Kwan" "Is uncle recuperating?" "Much better" "This is Shen..." "No need to introduce, we know each other" "You do" "We are leaving, give my regards to uncle" "I'll come to see him again in a couple of days" "You're welcome" "Alright" "Miss Kwan" "Mr. Fan" "How's uncle?" "Dad, Mr. Fan is here" "Uncle, you've fully recovered?" "If not how could I practise kung fu again?" "Come, let's go sit inside" "Come, please" "You should build your health again after a bout of illness" "My old bones can withstand it" "But then again my recovery was much attributed to you" "I have nothing to say" "Nothing much, don't worry about it" "Though you've been sick" "I saw you practising kung fu, it was real good" "It was a mere child's play not really kung fu" "You haven't seen the real thing yet" "Can I see you demonstrate?" "Me?" "I'm old but let my daughter demonstrate." "Come, Sau Chu" "Dad" "Come demonstrate for Mr. Fan" "Let me be impressed" "It's okay, Mr. Fan is like family" "Alright" "Well?" "It's really good, Miss Kwan" "Her gentle looks really hide her great kung fu skills" "What's the use of good kung fu for a girl?" "Mr. Fan, I am a direct person so are you" "I have something to talk to you about" "Please feel free" "Have you been married?" "I..." "No, not yet" "What do you think of my daughter?" "She has a nice personality" "Dad, stop asking such things" "Let me ask you something but answer truthfully" "I want Sau Chu to marry you what do you think?" "Sorry, I've been engaged already" "you might know that lady too she is Shen Feng Shian who used to sing at the bridge" "Shen Feng Shian?" "Of course I know her" "She and her mother are nice folk" "But you must be careful her third uncle is a dubious character" "I know please take care of them from now on" "Don't worry" "I should do so because I know their family not to mention she'll be your wife" "Then I need not worry" "Silly girl" "I said the wrong thing but you needn't cry" "Shen Feng Shian is a good girl you should be happy Mr. Fan will marry her" "Here... wipe off your tears" "Come on" "Congratulations, Mr. Fan" "You're too kind, I have to go" "Let me see you out" "Miss Ho" "Return it to me" "What?" "You know what it's about" "What's the big deal?" "Yesterday was dad's birthday" "Our friends and relatives were eager to see you but you failed to show up" "Did you deliberately make me lose face?" "I... your dad's birthday?" "Stop pretending, give it back" "Is it this one?" "No, I want the photo" "What photo?" "My photo" "Your cousin-in-law says you have one of my photos" "Miss Ho, that's not your photograph" "I don't believe you, let me see" "Who... who is this?" "Her name is Shen Feng Shian, we..." "Miss Ho..." "Miss Ho..." "Miss Ho" "Fan Jia Shu, you are too much you're not the only man on earth, you're too ruthless" "You haven't wronged her, I hope!" "Not at all." "She wants to break off with me" "Mr. Fan's telegraph" "Master, your telegraph" "Relax, Feng Shian." "I'll go to Hangchow this time firstly to see about my mom's sickness" "Secondly to tell her about our marriage" "Mom won't disagree to our marriage" "As soon as I have news I'll write to you" "Give my regards to her" "I hope she'll be well soon" "Take care" "I'll take care" "Go in" " Good bye" " Good bye" "Hey, isn't that Lao Xi?" "Master San" "Long time no see" "Visit us when you have time" "Sure..." "My treat" "I paid already." "Good bye" "Master San" "How's business?" "Okay" "Give me some wine" "Yes..." "Enough?" "Yes" "Master San" "Master Huang, you're rich," "It's all attributed to Yue Chin's blessings" "Come and sit... have a drink" "Master San, your order" "Put it here..." "No..." "Put it down" "What's this about?" "Don't stand on ceremony with me" "We're old friends and neighbours" "Guess it's alright then" "No problem..." "Thank you" "Master Huang, this time you've got it made." "You have recruited a student and your daughter marries a chief you'll live the rest of your days in luxury unlike me... still suffering poverty" "Cheers..." "How's Feng Shian?" "Oh, she stopped singing" "How come?" "She's met some university student" "What university student?" "It's a long story" "This kid might not be rich after all" "Master, there's a good opportunity" "What's that?" "If this opportunity materializes you can be rich" "Alright, tell me" "My son-in-law Chief Li wants to find a beautiful girl for General Chang" "When I saw you I thought" "Feng Shian would be an ideal candidate" "Is Feng Shian good enough?" "If she could be married to General Chang you'll never have to worry about fame and money for the rest of your life" "Master Huang, please help" "Madam, I was drinking at the inn and saw Yue Chin's teacher, Huang Guo Sheng" "How arrogant he looked, he's now a deputy chief" "So what?" "It's all because Yue Chin is somebody's mistress" "What's wrong with being a concubine?" "She's got all the riches she wants" "Every one will greet her as 'madam', how magnificent" "Look at our Feng Shian, what's this all about?" "With just that bit of money from Mr. Fan and you are like his pets for life" "Uncle, what's with you?" "I haven't offended you" "If you marry a chief then I being your uncle..." "You are drunk" "Feng Shian, never mind him" "You are day dreaming about getting rich again" "We are poor but decent" "What's the big deal about glory and riches" "You well know that Feng Shian is engaged to Jia Shu" "What are you grumbling about?" "Look at the two of you your hearts are with that Fan guy already" "How unfortunate for an uncle to say things like that" "You ask me for money all the time" "From now on, don't bother with Yue Chin's affairs" "Yue Chin still misses Feng Shian" "She wants to invite you to her place" "Isn't that true?" "You mean Feng Shian?" "She's suitable" "Who are you talking about?" "Our former neighbour was a singer" "Chief, she is younger and more beautiful than I am" "Really?" "She's a real beauty" "I'm sure General will like her" "That's right" "Everyone likes her" "Bring her right away" "Yes" "Wait" "Just say it's you inviting her over for a good time" "Yes" "Simply bring her to the General's residence" "Master San..." "Master Huang, you are here, have a seat please" "Thank you" "Feng Shian" "You..." "How come I... you..." "You are Uncle Huang?" "Yes..." "I didn't recognize you in your military suit" "Master Huang, you..." "Madam, haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" "Fine... have a seat please..." "Yue Chin misses Feng Shian she said I must bring her back to have some fun" "So..." "Yue Chin is so kind" "She still remembers us" "You should go" "I have to do my homework" "You can do it when you come back tonight" "It isn't proper for us to befriend the rich" "Don't say that..." "Yue Chin asked me here" "They haven't seen each other for a long time" "So they can have a chat today" "That's right" "The car is waiting outside" "Feng Shian, please" "Feng Shian, I think you'd better go" "It's their good intention, so don't offend them" "Mom" "Then just go and stay for a while" "That's right..." "They can have a nice talk" "I'll go and change" "Alright..." "Miss Shen, please" "Where's Madam?" "In the study, I've asked her to come" "Miss Shen, have a seat please" "Sister, what an honour to have you here" "I thought you won't come" "Sister, is there anything you want from me?" "No, nothing." "Come, have a seat, come..." "Have a seat" "We used to be neighbours ever since we were kids" "We grew up together, sang together and didn't realize it but now I'm married, and we have been away for so long" "How could I not miss you" "How's aunt and uncle?" "Fine, thank you" "C'mon, you don't need to be formal" "Maids, bring over some tea" "Yes" "Sister, it might not sound nice but..." "Ever since I married Chief Li" "I'm scared that the neighbours still look down on me so I didn't go back to see you" "In fact a woman has to get married sooner or later, everyone is the same" "Although in name I am a concubine" "Chief Li treats me very well" "I eat and dress well" "I shop around at daytime, and watch operas at night" "How free I am, much better than marrying a poor guy" "Look at people like us" "When could we make it big?" "Sister, don't you think so?" "You asked me overjust to hear you say this?" "No..." "I've something to talk to you later, sit..." "No, I've to go" "Sister..." "What's your hurry?" "I'll have a car take you home right after dinner" "No, my mother is waiting for me, I've to go" "What?" "You've just arrived and you're leaving?" "General, let me introduce" "This is my sister Shen Feng Shian" "Feng Shian..." "Sister, meet the General" "General" "Great..." "This is Chief Li, my husband" "Chief Li" "Miss Shen, Yue Chin has been talking a lot about you" "I'm so glad to meet you today" "That's right, I am so happy too, have a seat please..." "Feng Shian, have a seat" "Our General is extremely hospitable" "At the General's residence you can make yourself at home" "Right... this is your home" "The General's residence?" "Okay?" "Good" "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Ask them to prepare some snacks" "Yes" "Sister, I'm going" "General has just had some snacks prepared for you you shouldn't waste his efforts" "That's right." "If you leave it'd mean you despise me" "I must return for my homework, I've got school tomorrow" "What school?" "I haven't been to any school" "If the school makes life difficult, I'll shut it down do you have to go to school?" "Alright, you are bluffing..." "Schools close on Sunday, you can't cheat me" "What are you afraid of?" "Even those who don't know the General fear him like a tiger" "But if you've been with him long enough you'll realise that he's just a paper tiger" "Isn't that right, General?" "That's right, I'm just an uncivil kind of guy" "Although I don't have nice looks but I have a good heart" "I'm so happy today" "Come, let's play mahjong" "Good..." "Let's play mahjong" "I don't know how to play" "No?" "Never mind" "Come... you've got me, go..." "Not bad" "That's right" "You have good hands" "We can't win her" "Toss the dice" "Let's do it" "Five" "Pick the tiles, two pairs..." "Pick..." "Too many" "Sister, you can't take any more." "Or else... you'll be "Da shiang gung" (taking too many tiles)" "Pick..." "Want the "south"?" "General, why didn't you take the tiles?" "General, how come you didn't discard the tiles?" "It's hard to decide" "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "See which tile should I discard?" "Yes" "What should I do?" "Discard Six Circles" "Six Circles" "Six Circles" "Pong" "Pong Six Circles, Thirty thousand" "Seven Circles" "I need 7 Circles." "Six bamboos" "Miss Shen" "So white and soft, great..." "Feng Shian, General says the pearl ring you are wearing is so white and fine" "Right..." "Come..." "let me see again" "This pearl is not bad, but too small" "Then the General should buy a bigger one for her tomorrow" "No problem" "I'm going to get you a pearl necklace tomorrow" "You like it?" "Your kindness overwhelms me" "How lucky my sister is" "Feng Shian, you should thank the General" "She's shy..." "Come... back to the game" "Play..." "North wind" "Fifty thousand" "General, Miss Shen has nine open tiles" "You have to pay all if lose to a hand of one suit" "You've got to pay all" "I don't believe you have a hand of one suit" "Win" "General, how can you discard "Circles" again?" "Unbelievable" "I also got a hand of one suit, pay..." "Didn't you say to pay all?" "Everyone pays..." "Okay, everyone pays..." "So much money?" "How did you get it?" "They forced me to play mahjong" "You know how to play?" "I don't, they taught me" "Who?" "Yue Chin and the chief and a General Chang" "General Chang?" "That's right, Yue Chin brought me to his residence" "It must be Chang De Ju, General Chang" "Yes, when I saw him I was so scared that I wanted to leave, but Yue Chin wouldn't let me" "Feng Shian, how come you played mahjong with them?" "It was lucky that you won, what if you had lost?" "How on earth could we have paid them?" "First they said it was for fun but later they insisted that I have won so much money" "How am I supposed to know" "How can you be so stupid, they are all big officials" "As I said we ain't worthy to make friends with the rich" "One game of theirs is equal to what we spend for years" "Don't go there again" "Sister-in-law, they regard us highly what's the problem with having some fun" "How can we afford if we lose?" "Didn't Feng Shian say she hasn't lost but has won a lot of money?" "What would happen if she lost?" "Feng Shian, Jia Shu has been so good to you he paid for your study, and took care of us" "You now belong to him" "It won't be nice if he hears rumours" "We are no longer singing anymore there's no point mixing with these officials" "They could be no good for all we know" "We will be in deep trouble if we mess with them" "Sister-in-law, you worry too much" "They are only asking Feng Shian to play mahjong what are you thinking about?" "Don't you bother about Feng Shian anymore!" "Alright, I won't bother" "Feng Shian, don't go again to the residence of those chiefs, or Commanders" "I understand, Mom, don't worry" "I won't go there again" "That young girl is as tender as a peach" "I want so much to swallow her alive" "As long as you like it she can be brought in here again in a couple of days" "I can't wait, hurry and bring her here" "You've to offer some perks if you want her trapped" "Perks?" "Last time when we were playing mahjong you promised to buy her a pearl necklace" "That's right, Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Get a pearl necklace and send it to her" "Yes" "A good one" "Yes" "What did Jia Shu say in the letter?" "Is his mom recuperating?" "Yes" "Thank god" "Did he mention about your wedding?" "He talked to his mother" "His mother agreed too" "And she sends you her regards" "Jia Shu is really nice" "I'm so pleased to have such a good son-in-law" "You too should be satisfied to have such a good husband" "Did he write when he'll be back?" "In a couple of days" "Is Miss Shen home?" "Miss Shen" "Deputy Ting" "Miss Shen, General sent me to deliver this to you" "Look at it" "The General promised to give you this yesterday" "Please accept it" "Take it..." "General asked you to come immediately" "I'm sorry, my daughter is occupied today and cannot go to the General's residence" "We can't accept this either please bring it back" "How can that be" "No one rejects the General's presents" "We are not related to the General how can we accept such a valuable gift?" "It's a token from the General don't get it wrong" "We appreciate his generosity but please bring it back" "But this..." "Miss Shen does it mean you won't be going to see the General?" "Yes" "You won't even accept his gift?" "Yes, please bring it back" "How..." "How can that be?" "How dare she return my gift!" "So impertinent" "General" "This is a slap on your face" "She's so rude, Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Prepare a banquet" "Yes" "I must show her what I'm made of so she knows how ruthless I can be" "Hurry" "Come in" "Speak" "Speak" "Hurry" "How many people are living in this house?" "Three" "What's your name?" "Mrs. Shen" "Who's Shen San Yuan?" "I am" "What's your occupation?" "Playing string instruments" "Who's Shen Feng Shian?" "It's me" "What's your occupation?" "I am a student" "Why does the record show you're a singer?" "I used to be, but not anymore" "Who cares if you are still singing or not" "It says that you are a singer so you've got to sing" "There's a party at the General's residence tonight and a communal gathering, you've to go there immediately" "She's now a student how can she go to sing at a communal gathering?" "Student?" "What's the big deal about being a student?" "Student" "The General means well in asking you to go and sing do you dare refuse?" "Arrest her" "Yes" "Mom" "Master, don't be angry, we're going" "Stop talking nonsense, hurry" "Feng Shian, I'll go with you" "I'll get the instrument" "Hurry..." "Making money all the year round, the boat arrives" "With a chest full of treasure..." "I lose again" "General" "The singer Shen Feng Shian is here" "Student" "A singer is a singer" "Why all the pretense?" "Damn all this 'student' crap!" "What's the big deal about being a student?" "I've powers even to drive away an Emperor." "Sing for me" "Sing until I'm satisfied, sing" "Yes." "Feng Shian, come" "General, don't be upset, take care of yourself" "Don't lose your temper over her" "Damn it" "What's the big deal about a singer?" "Let's drink" "Godammit!" "Come..." "Cheers" "Cheers, come" "In feudal times Emperor Chin had the" "Great Wall constructed at the expense of the people and many lives were destroyed" "Evil spread, even the gods wept" "He burnt books  buried Confucians alive in the ravine he was a mad emperor" "Only Wan Shi Liang's wife, Meng Jiang Niu who was an upright person and she was truly unique" "Damn it, what are you singing?" "Are you implicitly criticizing me?" "You think I don't realize it?" "Speak, are you criticizing me?" "I wouldn't dare to" "I learned to sing since I was young this is what my tutor taught me" "There's no need for you to be suspicious" "Then why don't you pick some good ones?" "How would I know what you like?" "I..." "General" "Just pick anyone you like" "Get lost" "You very well know I can't read" "General, just say what you'd like to listen" "Then sing 'A youthful Flower'" "What's that called?" "The West Chamber" "Then play it" "Yes" "Miss Shen, sing well and the General will aptly reward you" "Sing happily" "I want you to smile and sing" "The youthful flower is too tired to groom herself" "Miss Oriole is sick and lies on the ivory bed she lies in a slanting manner" "You say this lady is feeble and melancholy has no desire for food, is lonely tired and pathetic" "Alone and silent in her room sulking and wasting away" "Her almond-like eyes look askance while her hand supports her cheek" "Bravo" "You want to ask what's her ailment" "Then I thought of it" "That scholarly gentleman, Mr. Chang" "I thought so hard I couldn't eat" "I think of him so much" "I couldn't drink" "I'm so hungry and am wasting away" "Who has seen a teenage girl walking with a stick" "If she let go of the stick..." "What will happen?" "Then her hand would have to lean against the wall" "Summoning my spirit I walk two steps further" "Oh, no the sole of my embroidered shoes is worn out" "Good..." "General, Miss Shen has indeed pacified you" "Miss Shen sings well, the General ought to reward her" "That's right, the General should reward her" "Reward with what?" "I've sent her a gift and she returned it" "Shouldn't I be angry?" "Never mind... a magnanimous person should forgive" "Miss Shen, come and toast to General as an apology" "Come over, come" "Come, raise a toast to the General" "General, it's my fault please forgive me if I've offended you" "That's right..." "General, have a drink please" "Come... a toast to General" "Wait" "Since she's admitted her fault, should she be punished?" "Of course..." "Alright, I'll have you drink the wine" "Drink it, why don't you drink it?" "I can't drink" "No?" "You have to" "Come, drink it" "Drink it" "I really can't" "General, our Miss never drinks" "Well, out of respect for you, I'll drink on her behalf" "Who are you to drink my wine?" "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Take him out and shoot him" "Yes" "General..." "Spare me..." "General, I beg you" "Spare him, do some good and spare him please" "Uncle..." "Uncle..." "Damn you" "General, have mercy, let him go" "Wait" "General, look at Miss Shen she's crying so pitifully" "Please pardon him and spare his life" "General, I beg you..." "Spare our poor lives" "You are now begging me?" "You still have eyes for me?" "Miss Shen is a clever person she won't dare to despise you" "If you spare him this time she won't forget your kindness for the rest of her life" "Alright, let him go" "Hey you, get going" "Thank you, General" "Come back" "Go back and tell her mother that I like Shen Feng Shian and will take her as my sixth wife" "Aren't there any laws?" "This is sheer kidnapping" "I'm at a loss now" "Master Kwan, please help me think of something" "Dad, what are you up to?" "I'll strike first" "I'll go to the General's residence killthatmonster and rescue Miss Shen" "Dad, there are lots of guards there you can't rescue Miss Shen all by yourself" "If you fail, things will be messy" "Let's discuss this very carefully" "Yes" "My baby" "Let go of me" "Help" "Where are you running to?" "Feng Shian..." "Feng Shian..." "Feng Shian" "Auntie, I'm back" "You..." "Auntie, how are you?" "Is Feng Shian asleep?" "She..." "What happened to her?" "She..." "What happened to her?" "She..." "What happened?" "She..." "Auntie..." "Who is it?" "It's me, cousin, open up" "Cousin, we are very anxious about what has happened so we'd like to talk with you" "Cousin, you aren't dressed up warm enough" "It's a hard trip you'll fall sick if you catch a cold" "Jia Shu, no matter what happens you have to take good care of your health" "Thanks for your concern" "Cousin, we know the kind of person the General is" "Since Feng Shian is now in his hands that's like a lamb to its slaughter" "Don't be rash a wise man knows how to preserve his life" "If anything goes wrong there'll be big trouble" "And then you'll have to regret later" "I am at a loss now" "I just want to see Feng Shian" "That's easy" "As long as you see a person, it will be like seeing her" "No, I love the inner self of Feng Shian not her face, I don't want to see Ho Li Shia" "Fan Jia Shu, I'd say you're being too heartless" "Miss Ho..." "Fan Jia Shu, we won't see each other again anymore" "Listen carefully" "I have loved you, thought about you, waited for you but who would expect I'm no better than a singer" "If we knew you were like this we would not have invited her to come" "You are too heartless" "I never expected that so many things would happen while I was away for just a few days" "Master Kwan, I just want to see Feng Shian" "The General's residence is heavily guarded, it's hard!" "God knows in what state is Feng Shian now!" "She's been at the General's residence for three days" "I'll think of a way to get in" "When I see Miss Shen" "I arrange for her to meet Mr. Fan" "How can you get in all by yourself?" "Let's do this quickly" "Tonight we'll sneak in and kill the bastard then free Miss Shen" "You bitch" "Is the general's chamber not good enough for you?" "You've left just after one day" "You bitch, the general doesn't bite" "I'll beat you to death, you bitch" "It's not that I don't want to go, aunty the general has his hands all over me" "So what?" "No big deal" "Madam Li, stop beating... what's going on?" "The general wants to hire a young servant" "I went through so much trouble asking Aunt Lau to get Ah Tsui in" "Who would have expected this bitch to leave afterjust one day!" "As it is, it's tough getting in the General's chambers" "Without help of an insider, no one would have got in" "You only need to serve the general's wife" "Where else can you find such a good job?" "You kid, you're so ignorant" "Madam, Aunt Lau has brought someone to report for work" "Come in" "Madam" "You..." "Madam, I'm here to report for duty" "Is this maid alright?" "Alright" "Madam, if you like her she will stay" "Alright, let her stay" "Thank you, Madam" "Serve the Madam well" "Follow me" "Miss Sau, I didn't expect it's you" "Not so loud!" "How's my mom?" "Mrs. Shen is very anxious indeed" "Mr. Fan has come back from Hangchow, too" "He's back?" "He was very anxious when he knew you've been here" "He hopes to see you so he has sent me here" "Miss Feng, don't be sad" "You've got to find a way to see him" "How can I see him again?" "Mr. Fan knows about everything he won't blame you" "He'll be waiting for you at the Ching Lian temple" "You must go to see him" "I may never see him again in my life" "It's heavily guarded here, and General is always around" "How can I go out?" "General, the train to Tientsin will be leaving soon" "You should be ready to leave" "Damn it, meetings..." "Meetings all day, I'm not going the headquarter is having an urgent meeting the situation is getting worse" "I think you'd better go" "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Call the train station and ask them to leave half an hour later" "Yes" "Who are you?" "I'm a new maid" "Good..." "Beautiful, fair looking, great..." "I'm going for a meeting at Tientsin today" "You'd better wait for me at home otherwise, I'll teach you a good lesson when I return" "Take good care of mistress, I'll reward you" "Yes" "The car is ready" "Look..." "You know I'll be leaving" "You're crying as if someone is going to die" "You must smile... for good luck" "Smile" "Miss Feng, this is a good opportunity" "Since he's gone to Tientsin go to see Mr. Fan tonight" "Feng Shian" "Jia Shu" "Feng Shian" "Jia Shu" "Feng Shian, you've suffered a lot" "Don't cry, let me look at you" "Feng Shian, don't be sad" "Jia Shu, I am so sorry" "Don't say that" "I still love you like before" "No..." "I'd rather die" "I'm too ashamed to see you again" "Feng Shian, this is not your fault" "Don't blame yourself, I won't blame you" "Jia Shu, I'll return this ring to you" "I'm not worthy to wear it anymore" "What do you mean?" "How can I ever... be with you again?" "I..." "No, Feng Shian, I will love you in spite of everything as long as you still love me, we can be together" "Feng Shian, don't go back" "Let's leave here now" "Go to Hangchow with me immediately" "He's having a meeting at Tientsin today" "You go inform my Mom first" "I'll go back and bring Miss Sau;" "we'll leave together" "Alright, I'll wait for you at Uncle Kwan's home" "Be careful" "I know" "Go" "Alright" "Salute" "At ease" "Salute" "Sixth Madam" "You're back" "Wait, go to the kitchen and see if her ginseng soup is ready" "Yes" "Where have you been?" "Speak" "I went to see my mom" "Bullshit" "Once I left, you went to meet other guy" "If the railroad wasn't damaged, I'd have been cuckolded" "Damn" "You think I am a fool, I'm going to kill you" "You bitch, I'll beat you to death" "Damn you" "Where are you running to?" "Help" "Damn you" "You bitch, shameless trash" "I must kill you" "Stop beating, General" "Bitch, I must kill you" "I'll see where you can hide" "Help" "Help" "See where you can escape!" "I'll kill you" "Damn you" "Sister..." "Madam, dinner's ready" "There's no point in taking things too seriously otherwise, you won't survive for a day" "Ever since I came to this place" "Whatever I heard and saw it's all sad stories and tears" "And blood!" "Madam, I'm not being cynical or trying to scare you" "Since you have come to this stage crying your heart out won't help" "So you might as well take it easy" "A person has to die sooner or later" "That one is a monster killer see how long he can last at his ways" "There's a saying:" "A gentleman is no match for brutality" "Madam, you'd better have your meal" "Madam..." "General, it's you" "How come you are not yet asleep?" "I'm waiting on you" "You are so nice, I like you" "Stay with me tonight" "Come..." "General..." "Give me a kiss" "A kiss" "What are you doing here?" "I am here to sing" "I don't want to listen, get out" "No, I sing..." "I'll smile as I sing" "The youthful flower is too tired to groom herself" "Shut up, get lost" "You don't like this?" "I'll sing something else" "I don't want to listen, get lost" "Where do you want me to go?" "I'm the General's sixth wife" "Who else would want me?" "Sixth wife..." "Sixth wife..." "You mad woman, you're disgusting" "If you don't go away, I'll shoot you" "Shoot me..." "I'll die sooner or later" "What... what are you doing?" "You monster" "You are a monster who kills without a blink" "I'll fight you to death" "You mad woman, you must be tired of living" "Guards..." "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "God damn it, you have guts" "General... don't bother with her, she's mad" "Ask someone to take her away" "Not that easy" "General, I'll stay with you" "Deputy Ting" "Yes" "Lock her up" "Yes" "Take her away and lock her up" "I won't dare again... please don't shoot me" "Help me, mom, help me" "Insolent trash" "Let's not bother with her, come..." "Baby, don't be afraid, I love you" "You'll be my sixth wife from now onwards" "General, do you really like me?" "Yes, I don't lie" "Come..." "General, can I request a favour from you?" "Of course..." "I'll promise you anything" "I like you so much" "We from the poor family never dream of this so I want to tell my dad tomorrow and let him be happy about it and you and I will..." "I can't wait" "What's the difference between today and tomorrow" "No, we have some rules in our family" "Rules?" "What rules?" "A girl who gets married has to light a big red candle" "So troublesome, I have so many wives no one has ever lighted one" "No, if you don't concur with my request" "I won't marry you" "Damn it, it's midnight where am I supposed to get a red candle?" "It's not too late for tomorrow night" "Are you afraid that I'll get away?" "Alright... tomorrow it is" "Don't you go back on your word" "I'm already in your hands" "I won't dare to" "It's me who has got her into this, it's all my fault" "If I had not asked her to escape with me she wouldn't have been beaten and become mad" "Don't say that, it's important that she's rescued" "That's right, get Feng Shian out first" "Dad, I wonder if fifth master would help?" "They will go anywhere not to mention rescuing people" "At ease... forward march" "No, it's well-guarded at the front let's go by the back" "Baby, I've done all that you want me to" "Now you must keep your promise to me" "General, what's this?" "Pistol" "I'm scared" "Girls aren't used to these things, you're scared, huh?" "Alright, I'll take it off" "Now you should be more relaxed." "Come, give me a kiss" "General, I am now yours" "What's the rush?" "We're in the bedroom, shouldn't I get excited?" "General, I'll raise you a toast" "Good..." "Drink it, drink" "General, drink the wine" "Don't think I'm uncouth you're shy, right?" "Alright" "It's late, come..." "What's the hurry?" "Go to sleep" "Wait, I'll be with you soon" "I'll go in for a while, don't go away" "Up there" "Miss Shen... wake up, Miss Shen" "Hurry, someone's coming" "Huang De Gung..." "Go" "Don't move, who is it?" "Up" "Hurry" "There's an assassin..." "The luring lady takes off her clothes and welcomes her lover with a smile" "General, here" "Come..." "Give me" "You've nowhere to run today" "What... what do you mean by this?" "Come... give me..." "You are mad" "I am not mad, you are" "You tyrant" "Over the past years many people have lost their lives and homes because of you" "A lot of young girls have been ruined by you" "Let me tell you, today is the day of your death" "Damn you" "Deputy Ting..."

"Look, everyone is over there" "Sister..." "Miss Shen, don't worry, it's alright now" "If it were not for Uncle Kwan and Sau Chu you'd be dead by now" "Uncle Kwan, sister, thank you so much" "Sister, take good care of yourself" "Mr. Fan, I wish you both all the happiness together" "Let's go" "Mr. Fan" "You'd better leave this place soon" "Mom, I really don't know how to repay Uncle Kwan" "Uncle Kwan, where are you heading towards?" "Me?" "I am a wanderer." "The whole world will be my home" "Well, we'll meet again some day."
