"Anyone see who stole it?" "Who took my money?" "It's the government's money" "Who took my money?" "Anyone see the thief?" "Did you see anything?" "Who cares about him?" "Let's go" "It's money from the company" "Where are they?" "I'm going to eat first" "Hey" "Hey" "Idiots... you eat first" "I don't know" "I don't know" "Who's asking you?" "I don't know a thing" "Fine." "What do you want?" "Then you tell me" "Who paid for the steamed cake?" "Well..." "Funny to see so many grown-ups... bully a child here like this" "Old Liu" "It's none of your business." "Just go" "Old Liu" "We haven't bullied him" "We lost the company's money for buying pigs" "How can we explain this when we're back?" "We just saw him on the street... buying steamed cakes with big bills" "So what?" "Old Liu said communism is all about big bills" "Shut up, Dog Fart" "Go back to your parents" "I'm his parent." "Release him" "Only if he returns the money" "Release him first" "Lin Shan..." "Will you keep your words?" "Sure" "It was you really, little bastard" "Little bastard" "Screw you" "Let me go" "Stop fighting." "Stop" "My arm is broken" "You're asking for it" "Stop it..." "Everyone stops!" "Stop it..." "Sorry, brothers" "You two are together?" "Here you are" "Sorry, brothers" "Let's go" "How did you know him?" "He helped me to get a ride... when I was on my way back here" "Are you all right?" "Xing Yu" "Who was he?" "He steals and gets into fight under broad daylight" "Xing Yu, say something" "How would I know?" "There's a fight" "Xing Yu, Wei Hung" "The 2nd company and the 5th company are fighting each other" "Wei Hung Oh" "Go inform the company headquarters" "Let's go!" "Stop, Ling Shan" "Let me tell you" "I'd feel sorry if I don't go" "Listen, I feel the same" "I want revenge Stop" "Let me go, platoon leader Yuan" "I know I'd done something silly that upset you" "But this time you guys helped me out" "And even got beaten up because of me" "I have to do what a man should do Yes" "We'll teach the 5th company a lesson" "Let's go..." "Ling Shan, listen to me" "Ling Shan, don't go" "We've got our money back." "Just forget it" "Xing Yu" "Is it because Sie Mong helped you... so you don't want us to go?" "Of course not" "Someone would get hurt in fights can you guarantee that everyone will return unharmed?" "Also" "Think about Wei Hung" "Have you thought about her?" "Ding Guo, I tell you something" "Sie Mong already deserves a lesson... just for staring her strangely" "Let's go..." "Ling Shan, Old Tien" "Old Tien Let go of me" "Ling Shan" "It's no use even you go" "Platoon leader and mess officer stay behind" "Others return to the barracks" "Everyone involved in the brawl will undergo... 3 days of confinement" "Aim your gun" "Hold" "Aim your gun" "Hold" "Aim your gun" "Hold" "Aim your gun" "Hold" "Aim your gun" "Hold" "At ease" "So you enjoy fighting, right?" "Each of you has a stick in your hands now" "Start fighting then!" "Don't you think you can relax at the frontier" "Before your mind is totally reformed... it's useless to say or do anything" "Whether it's carrying bamboo sticks or cultivate new land all are useless" "Do you know why?" "Because if your mind isn't reformed" "Why bother to develop the motherland?" "Everything is nothing... but just revisionism" "Attention!" "Wei Hung" "Yes" "I won't go, I just won't go" "I'm not going to teach Chinese again" "Children still have potential to improve" "But not the adults, they're idiots" "They can't even remember a word" "I'll lose my patience" "They just start asking even before the lesson begins" "Decayed wood can't be carved" "Xing Yu" "You have a better temper Can you go for me?" "I'll inform the supervisor" "Working on the mountain is tiring" "Teaching classes can give me a break" "At least that's what I used to think" "But I found out after a week physical tiredness is nothing" "Now I won't mind going on military training" "Ling Shan just fainted" "Roast Pig Head" "Roast Pig Head" "Salty Meat" "Salty Meat" "Twice-cooked Pork" "Twice-cooked Pork" "Braised Pork" "Braised Pork" "Rice Noodle Meat" "Rice Noodle Meat" "Roast Pig Head" "Roast Pig Head" "Salty Meat" "Salty Meat" "Okay, that's all for today" "Remember to practice at home" "I'll check on you next time" "No need to practice, Ms. Yeh" "We already remember the words by heart" "And practice is useless" "Why?" "It'll make us hungry" "Our stomach would make growling noises" "Okay, we're done today" "Class is over!" "Sister" "Someone wants me to take you to him" "Who is it?" "It's Sie Mong" "Where is he?" "In the forest." "He wants to talk to you" "He asked me to take you to him" "What does he want to say?" "I don't know He only asked me to take you to him" "I'm not going, you tell Sie Mong" "I don't want to listen to him" "It's fine you don't want to listen to him" "Old Liu asked me to give you this if you don't come" "Hey" "Eat more." "There's plenty" "What were you thinking?" "It's all my fault" "I got you all in trouble" "Wrong" "This is not over yet" "I've heard someone said... that a group of corrupted intellectuals and the commune... would do dirty business together" "So what we do this time... is not to settle score... but to root out evil" "I think... no one in the company would expect us... to take action again tonight" "Oh my god" "But if we're caught again" "The punishment will be far more serious" "Let's go Chur... " "Come on everyone, I have can food" "Wei Hung, where did you get these?" "Xing Yu got them" "Fetch a knife." "Open it" "New year is around the corner" "Just eat I will..." "It was a girl who covered my eyes that day" "How about we ask a girl from our company... to lure Sie Mong out of his commune to a place somewhere..." "Good idea" "By just looking at him and you can tell he's no good thing" "This trap will work on him" "You go and lure him out then" "I'm not going" "I'm a man" "I suggest that... whoever lures Sie Mong out of his commune... and helps us for the revenge" "Didn't we receive a discharge quota?" "The girl will get the quota what do you say?" "Good..." "Agree..." "What about our goals then?" "What about our goals to develop the frontier?" "Ding Guo, I'm just kidding..." "Ling Shan, what are you talking about?" "Hey" "Xing Yu, Da Mei, come down here" "After work each of you will carry... a Dragon Bamboo down the mountain" "Someone's peeping" "Stand there I'm looking for someone" "Looking for someone?" "Just stand there!" "Why you come here to look for someone?" "Tell me, what did you see?" "Everything" "Everything?" "Get up!" "I had to look around if I'm looking for someone" "What's your name?" "Say it Dog Fart" "You have a foul mouth." "Stand right there" "Stop, Wei Hung Dog Fart is my real name" "Wei Hung, he's serious" "Sister" "Looking for me?" "Let's go, I'll follow you" "Why are you going with him?" "It's okay, I'll be right back" "I'll go with you" "No" "Let's go" "Where is Sie Mong?" "Straight ahead" "Sister, don't tell Sie Mong" "Tell him what?" "That you saw women bathing" "How old are you?" "I'm 13" "Why help the punks at Red Post Town... to do dirty business?" "Who are you talking about?" "They were all intellectuals" "Your intellectuals steal" "I've helped people from your infantry" "Liar I didn't" "Sister" "When you see Sie Mong... don't tell him I got beaten up" "Okay, I won't" "You're the prettiest girl in your company" "What is this?" "A bone" "A dinosaur bone" "It's a fossil" "A dinosaur fossil... from thousands of years ago" "Maybe it was a meteor... a volcano eruption... a glacier... or an earthquake, a landslide... a drought, a deadly disease... whatever the disaster was" "The sudden disaster frozed the fossil... like an abrupt turn in the river of time... like a sudden dip" "I like this place... because someday this is what we'll all eventually become" "And our root will be firmly set in the frontier" "Comrade Sie Mong" "What do you want to see me for?" "Me?" "Have one, I just picked it" "Sie Mong, I didn't come for wild fruit" "I want to tell you what happened at the town... is not yet resolved" "Our company's order is greatly affected by it" "But you're hiding up here avoiding responsibility" "This is just wrong Oh" "Maybe this is your style" "But as an intellectual" "You should have the courage... to admit your mistake and accept criticisms Well" "And ask for your comrades' help and forgiveness and train yourself under this vast landscape" "Sie Mong" "Though you helped me with the ride" "This time you should... do something for my company" "I was told that you have something to tell me" "Now say it" "Did you tell them about us?" "There's nothing between us" "Sure." "Of course nothing" "What I mean is..." "Don't let this brawl get between us" "What's there to get between us?" "Anything else?" "If not, I'll go now" "Don't worry" "I won't tell anyone that you're up here" "But I really hope that you can be braver" "See you See you" "You don't know your way back" "I'm not hiding, that day... if it wasn't because they were beating on me first" "Nothing would've happened" "I don't know the punks from Red Post Town" "I asked them to return the money they had to listen" "Right, Dog Fart?" "Yes" "Sie Mong is the boss of Red Post town" "Everyone listens to him" "What are you talking about?" "I'm not the boss!" "Didn't you want me to tell others... that you're the boss of the town?" "I told them you're the boss" "That's who you are" "Sooner or later I'll be the boss" "Put it down Listening to it gives me a headache" "Go back to the house" "I don't care what you punks do" "My people won't let you off the hook easily anyway" "You think about that" "You can't go back now" "It's going to rain" "There is a goal... that all of us are fighting for" "It's Distribution-On-Demand" "When we realize this goal" "Communism will be materialized" "But we still have a long way to go" "What should we do?" "Sie Mong" "Do you think stealing... is the next step to realizing communism?" "Don't worry, sister, I'm here for you" "That day during the brawl" "Is the man beside you your boyfriend?" "Right" "He seems like a good guy" "Yes" "How long have you known each other?" "As long as we live" "So childhood friends?" "Then there's no way you'll fall for someone else?" "Yes" "But I've fallen for you... since that day you showed up with your luggage" "What if I'm lying to you?" "About what?" "Go ahead." "It's fine" "I've already told you how I feel anyway" "I know my way now" "Thanks for accompanying me" "Stay away from them, Sie Mong" "Lyprosy" "Excuse me, master" "Do you think we're destined to be together?" "Destiny is destiny even when it doesn't exist" "Love is love even when it doesn't exist" "The more philosophical it is the more nonsense it sounds" "Sie Mong" "I think you should... apologize to everyone" "Hey" "See you the day after!" "Ding Guo, don't worry" "Xing Yu said she'll be right back... - when she left yesterday" "Maybe she's just hiding from the rain" "Don't worry, Ding Guo" "She'll be back soon" "Don't panic" "Let's look for her" "Wei Hung, come with me to search the mountain Sure" "Ling Shan and the others will search the town Sure" "Old Tien" "Take some people to check on the commune" "Don't panic if you run into anything" "Let's split up." "Don't get lost" "Try to stay close together, okay?" "Okay" "Were you with Sie Mong?" "Did he gave you the can food the other day?" "Yes" "Why?" "How do I know?" "Did you see him for the discharge quota?" "I'm not that kind of person" "Chief said... he has received the discharge quota" "But it's difficult to apply" "Ling Shan was just kidding that day" "He doesn't represent everyone" "From now on... don't see Sie Mong." "It's useless" "I know you want to go home and you miss your father" "I know how you feel" "Did he take advantage of you?" "Sie Mong isn't as bad as you think" "If he comes to our commune... and apologize to everyone" "Isn't that nice?" "No, don't see him from now on anyway" "I was against the idea" "But tonight Ling Shan said... if you could help us to get Sie Mong" "It'd be for the benefit of our company... and it'd be a great achievement" "We can use this achievement... to get you the discharge quota" "Think about it" "Your father needs a caretaker" "And the guys promised that... they won't let you take any risks" "Will you do it, Xing Yu?" "No" "Don't you want to go home?" "I won't give them excuses to fight" "I don't want anyone to get hurt" "Comrade" "Are you in love with Sie Mong?" "Nonsense" "I just want him to apologize" "This is for the benefit of our collective" "Did he say yes?" "No" "He said he'll go doing business at the commune" "He wants me to wait for him there" "We'll stay close to Xing Yu" "When Sie Mong appears we'll attack him" "Afterwards we flee" "No, we retreat" "We'll catch the other punks by surprise before they can act" "A quick battle for a quick result" "After we come back we'll say... it's Xing Yu who lures Sie Mong out" "It's the truth anyway" "She makes our company proud" "So she deserves the discharge" "I agree" "Platoon leader" "We don't have much chance to apply for discharge anyway" "It doesn't matter who gets the quota" "I agree..." "Too many people in our company... have special connection with party leaders there's no way we can beat that" "Therefore" "We should carry out this plan carefully" "Don't tell anyone about this" "Understand?" "Platoon leader" "When it's over you'd better explain to Xing Yu" "I just did this for her" "Wei Hung Oh" "Where do you want to go later?" "Whatever." "I'll follow you" "Tissue and soap" "Which one would you buy?" "Comrade" "That" "It's not for sale" "Why?" "It's a contraceptive thing" "And you need a marriage license... and an official letter for it" "Do you have it?" "Who set these rules?" "Wei Hung" "Xing Yu, I don't have any" "But everytime we're together" "Ling Shan would ask..." "I'm afraid if..." "You don't want to go back to the city?" "I'm not like you, Xing Yu" "You have a family to take care of" "I have my parents... two sisters and a brother" "If I go back" "There won't even be a place for me to sleep" "Don't go, Xing Yu" "Where are you going?" "You came for Sie Mong, right?" "Xing Yu..." "We did this for your own good" "Don't follow me" "Don't follow me" "Come on" "Make way" "Make way." "Make way" "Sorry." "Make way" "I thought you wouldn't come today" "Here's one more" "Eat and take it" "You stinking punk!" "You think I'd fall for you?" "You really think I'd fall for you?" "Stop dreaming" "No one would fall for you!" "Xing Yu Get lost" "Get lost..." "Xing Yu" "Get lost." "Get lost Go!" "You get lost!" "Xing Yu" "Get up and have some food Ding Guo prepared it for you" "Everyone did it for you" "Traitor" "Anyone there?" "Anyone there?" "Anyone there?" "Stop crying" "Stop crying" "Stop crying What happened?" "They went donating blood" "What's for?" "Wei Hung was hurt" "After work today, everyone had to... carry a Dragon Bamboo down the mountain" "Wei Hung fell... and the bamboo pierced into her body her blood was pouring out" "She's taken to the infantry hospital" "Draw my blood." "Hurry" "It's impossible." "We're not at war" "She just fell" "How can we be too late?" "Hurry." "Draw more blood" "Come on, Old Cheng" "If someone dies in our company you'll be responsible for it" "What should I say to her family?" "Come on, Old Cheng" "Hurry." "Draw more blood" "Don't be like that" "Come on, Old Cheng." "Blood-drawing" "Hurry, draw more blood" "Old Cheng." "Let's draw more blood" "No injection" "Blood-drawing after injection..." "Blood-drawing after injection..." "Blood-drawing... after injection..." "Blood-drawing after injection" "Blood-drawing after injection Right..." "Blood-drawing after injection" "Injection." "Blood-drawing... blood-drawing every day and night" "Wei Hung asked me to tell you not to be mad with her" "Inject triple a day:" "Morning, noon and night" "Inject triple a day:" "Morning, noon and night" "Inject triple a day:" "Morning, noon and night" "Don't you want to go home?" "Here's the recommendation letter" "You just have to fill it out" "I want to go to the infantry headquarters tomorrow" "I know you meant well" "Please tell everyone stop fighting for me" "Why not?" "Don't you want to go home?" "Don't you want to see your father?" "Didn't you say you don't belong here?" "Now, I, Ding Guo... will take control over here including you" "Let go of me" "We've been together since 7" "And I'm not as good as a thief?" "!" "Go away!" "What's so special about him?" "What's so special about him?" "Why can't I take care of you for the rest of your life?" "Who is it?" "Someone came in through the window" "Ling Shan, Ding Guo, come out now" "It's Sie Mong" "Come, everyone." "It's Sie Mong" "Stop fighting" "Stop fighting..."
