In Prologue A,
the sound of the port of Keelung fades in and adjusts the radio channel in the black screen, and then the sound of the edict of the Showa defeat comes in (not starting from the beginning, but inserting from a certain paragraph in the middle).
The picture slowly fades in. It is the railway area behind the Keelung Harbor Building, and you can see the part of the harbor. In the midsummer afternoon, the thick clouds of the northwest rain were silting up, and in the uninhabited environment, everything was in a static state, only the harbour was sparkling. Subtitle: On August 15, 1945, Emperor Showa announced an unconditional surrender, ending 51 years of Japanese rule over Taiwan.
Prelude B, Huanxiong's concubine's house, the
concubine was struggling with sweat in the evening , the huge shadows of the midwife and the middle-aged woman who helped cast on her, and the midwife kept saying, "Put it down...Quick,... ...Yah, I'm not going to give it to you... hurry up..." The concubine's forceful moan was mixed with a scream of pain.
Across the flickering candlelight, we saw 13-year-old A Xue standing by the door, watching the concubine struggling with curiosity but horror.
In the hall, three men, Huanxiong, his concubine brother, and his concubine father, were sitting there almost incompetently, and candles were lit by upside-down cups on the coffee table. They all looked at her as Axue walked by quickly.
Huanxiong seemed to have an uncontrollable irritability, and fanned the wind with his underwear.
Huanxiong (muttering): Fuck your mother! Find a power outage at this time.
Concubine Father (also murmured, Japanese): No way!
A Xue walked past them with the bowl again.
When A Xue entered the room, the concubine was still screaming, and she tried harder. A Xue grabbed the salt rice and sprinkled it on the stove. A blue light appeared from the stove.
Midwife (urging in a low voice): Put it down for a while...I can see my head...
Axue looked around, and she immediately sprinkled another handful of salt and rice.
The lights came on, and the three men in the living room watched in surprise.
At the same time, there was the sound of a baby crying in the room.
A surprised smile suddenly appeared on Huanxiong's face, and he instinctively got up and wanted to go to the delivery room.
Concubine's father (stopping him aloud): Don't let Chafu people go in! Delivery room with evil! Mmm clean!
In the bedroom, the midwife was cleaning the baby, and the neighbouring woman lifted her sweaty face and looked tired, but she still showed the kind of smiling concubine that belongs to her mother and looked here.
A Xue looked at the child, then raised her head and exchanged a smile with her concubine, she couldn't help but ran out of the room.
Huanxiong (as soon as he sees Axue laughing, he asks nervously): According to what! Male or female?
Axue (Japanese): Brother!
Brother concubine (smiles towards Huanxiong): Hey... ㄍ ㄠ oh... Now, I've been promoted to be a mother-in-law.
On the balcony of the concubine's house, Huanxiong came out with a glass of wine, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face. A Xue also followed, Huanxiong put the cup towards his daughter and pushed it again, A Xue complied with the cute expression after taking a sip.
Huanxiong raised his head and drank the wine, looking at Keelung after the rain outside the balcony.
A distant view of the port city with lights flickering in the rain and fog.
Title subtitle: Sad City.
In the first game, outside the
Little Shanghai Restaurant, the signboard of the Japanese "Little Shanghai Restaurant" was slowly being lifted up.
Huanxiong wore the armband of the "Provincial Religious Society" on his arm. He stood in front of the store with a group of people looking at him, commanding high and low levels. One or two people also wore armbands like him.
There was a lively scene at the entrance, and many wreath frames were brought in by trolleys with "Congratulations on the opening, and congratulations to the brothers of Shao Shipou Yi".
Someone was walking towards Huanxiong with the national flag.
Neighbor: Xiongzi, what kind of stance is this flag boy going to hang? (hangs the flag up and down for a while) Is this or that?
Huanxiong took it over and watched.
Neighbors ("sincere" doubts, complaining to the people on the left and right): Japanese plaster, it is hanging on the left, and it is hanging upside down, this new one, do it! ㄕ ㄚ close!
Huanxiong looked at it and looked up to see Axue carrying a set of hot old man's Tang suit home.
Huanxiong: Ah Xue, has your fourth uncle come back?
Ash: Not yet.
Huanxiong (with a sigh, then look at the flag again): Ruan No. 4 has a lot of reading cards, and he understands it, so I don't see it.
A Xue saw the unfamiliar flag for the first time in the distance. A group of people were looking at it seriously. She heard someone say, "The red one is on the top... You didn't listen to anyone, the sun came out and the sky was red. The green one is clearly the sun!" Someone replied, "Well, it smells like urine (it makes sense)..." In the
2nd game, in Little Shanghai,
when Axue came in with her clothes, her mother was in the middle of the game . Sitting in front of the stove in a daze, secretly wiping tears.
A Xue (looking at her and calling out): Ka Jiang (mother)...
Mother came back to her senses and stood up.
Mother (covering up): This boiled water is used to wash Grandpa's body.
Ash (look at her): Oh.
In another room, a group of girls were dressing and putting on makeup, filling the room. Futai's aunt was holding a girl's face.
A Xue (goes into the room and looks at it): Auntie, Grandpa asked you to wipe Yi's back.
When the girl heard the laughter, someone laughed and said, "Wow, Obasan is lucky, the first booth opened."
Auntie (stops): ㄙ ㄨ ㄟ Let's go! Old monkey! No one closes, I put Aishu (he is still greedy for comfort when he is not free)!
In the bathroom, Grandpa half-closed his eyes, sat on a small stool, wearing shorts, and asked his aunt to wipe his back.
Grandpa (intentionally or unintentionally): ㄧ ㄝ, why didn't Huanxiong hold that red baby boy back to take a look?
Aunt: The baby born outside is carried into the house? Are you going to let your daughter-in-law freeze to death? (
Not reconciled, he was humiliated and called "congealing") Grandpa: The one who cheated, the big one, the small one Pingping is not a certain, the one born, Pingping is not a son.
Auntie (taking the opportunity to feel sorry for herself): I'm sorry...I didn't know if I was born, if I were born, I would be a roadside paparazzi for you.
Grandpa (scolding, but not maliciously): What are you talking about?
Auntie (she was scolded but felt at ease, she wiped her back and said after a while): Didn't I tell you to give Yihao a name? Dare you think there is?
Grandpa (squinting, murmuring, of course): The red baby was born on the day of the liberation, and Luotu ㄍ ㄨ ㄛ just happened to be a fire... It would be the most interesting to call it Guangming, what else do you think.
In 3 games, inside and outside of
Little Shanghai, the blue sky and white sun flags were hung upside down in front of the adjacent shops in Little Shanghai at dusk , people were burning incense, and firecrackers were blaring.
The signboard of "Little Shanghai Restaurant" is brand new, with rows of flower baskets and wreaths underneath.
In front of the small Shanghai store, Lin Alu's family and all Yingyingyanyan of the restaurant were gathering to take pictures. Everyone was arranging their seats with laughter. Axue noticed that when her mother was pushed to stand with her father, she was so hard-hearted. "jealousy". In the end, my aunt helped Niaoniao's grandfather out, and he was wearing the straight Tang suit that Axue brought back.
After practicing for a long time, the photographer finally hid in the black cloth, and everyone immediately stood still, smiling stiffly, waiting for the flash of light.
A Xue's OS (voice-over) fell on the screen below one after another.
A Gong and some old men drank and punched, while the aunt knelt on one side, poured wine and served them, and toasted the old men.
Akun wandered around bored.
Ah Kun saw that in another room, Huanxiong was discussing something with a Japanese policeman with gauze on his head and a few others. After stamping some papers, Huanxiong told Ah Kun to go away.
In another room, Huanxiong's wife, A Xue, his second sister-in-law, A Kun, and his sister were sitting quietly, and the second sister-in-law seemed to comfort Huanxiong's wife.
A Kun walked to the entrance of Grandpa's drinking room, looked at it, played with the coins in his pocket boredly, then took it out, tossed it up, and picked it up with his forehead, again and again.
Grandpa saw A Kun with a sense of alcohol, and called out, "Hey, you can't close your eyes, you can't even teach, I'll show you..."
The old men were booing, Grandpa was unsteady, his aunt tried to help but he pushed him away, Grandpa came over and threw it, his eyes really didn't close, A Kun looked at it respectfully.
It was late at night, Huanxiong's wife and A Xue took the second sister-in-law and A Kun to the tricycle at the door.
In the middle of the night, the grandpa was disheveled and fought with his shadow with a frightened face. His aunt couldn't hold him back. Huanxiong, Huanxiong's wife and others were woken up, and they hurried over. Huanxiong hugged him, and when he was quiet, he put him down from the bed. Grandpa looked at him absentmindedly, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
A Xue: (OS) Fourth uncle, last night, you who lived lonely on the mountain might also be able to hear the sound of Keelung firecrackers. Many of them must have been passed down from our family. Part of it is the opening of Grandpa's "Little Shanghai Restaurant". However, Grandpa doesn't seem to be particularly happy. He said that of the four sons, only Dad is at home. Dad has been very busy recently. He and some friends have joined the "Provincial Rehabilitation Association" to replace the Japanese police to maintain order. The Japanese police are poor enough. Many people will go to surround their dormitory, and even Mr. Yamamoto was beaten. When Dad went to rescue them, his wife and children knelt at the entrance and said to those people, "I'm sorry, please forgive me..." Last night, Mr. Yamamoto came and drank cup after cup. I heard that he was going to give the house to him. Dad, he kept saying, "What I can't bring back, what I can't bring back..." The second aunt also brought A Kun back. She was worried about the second uncle who was on the expedition, and worried about A Kun's arrogance. A Kun was still young and could not Knowing her mother's grief, she still had a whole night of trouble with her grandpa. Later, when Grandpa got drunk, he dreamed of his grandmother again in the middle of the night, and he fought fiercely with her ghost. He didn't fall asleep again until he was tired, as usual. In such days, the loneliness of my mother was ignored.
In the 4th game, Axue's room is connected to the entrance.
The OS part of the previous game in the morning falls in this game. In the picture, Axue is writing a letter at the table by the window. Against the morning light, we see the girl's calm and gentle face.
Huanxiong's wife's OS called "YUKI", and Axue turned to see her mother walking in, holding a square gift wrapped in a delicate wrap.
Sister-in-law (in a calm tone): Duosang is waiting for you... (hands the gift to Axue) Take this to your auntie, and tell Yi that if you owe anything during the month, let us know, Yicuoli Also cast half a check on someone.
Axue took it and looked at her mother.
In the 5th session, Takasago Bridge, Chen

Xue: (OS) Dad's aunt in Takasago Bridge gave birth to a boy for him. Grandpa happily said that he had another Cha Fusun and named him Lin Guangming.
Scene 6, Miscellaneous scenes in Little Shanghai
, A Xue's unfinished letter on Chen's desk, and the pen on the side, the letter is written in Japanese.
Ah Gong practiced boxing and fitness on the floor on the porch, while Huanxiong's wife was silent but seriously bent over to wipe the floor in a distance.
A Xue: (OS) Fourth uncle, at this moment, it would be great if I were a man. Even if I can't read as many books and do what I want to do like you, at least let my mother have a little pride...
7 games , Concubine House, Chen
Concubine holding the baby, is looking at a long-lived golden lock piece. A Xue opened other boxes. Inside were the baby's clothes and hats. The red "卍" characters were carefully sewn on the clothes and hats. The concubine smiled moved.
In the hall, Huanxiong, his concubine, Ke Sang and a Japanese man were discussing matters. The concubine actively encouraged Huanxiong and asked Huanxiong to come forward to persuade the guarding Japanese navy, "Mifune ALUMI (aluminum block) and rubber sailed to Hong Kong. Sell, how many do you think you can sell? Right? Take advantage of the chaos now...don't sell...isn't it left for the government to take over in the end?" The concubine said, looking at Kesang, "The wharf is Kesang's land again. How can I have money to bring it to me and put it in front of Xiaoli (kindly)? Right!" Huanxiong looked at Ke Sang, and when he was thinking about it, he heard a Japanese nursery rhyme.
On the balcony, A Xue was holding the baby and rocking, watching the sail shadow in the harbor, singing softly.
In the 8th session, inside and outside the Jinguashi Photo Studio, Ri
faded in with the faint singing in the front field. A family dressed in Japanese clothes, everyone's expressions looked desolate and lonely. After a flash of light, the Japanese man stood up and respectfully greeted Huanqing. Salute, Huanqing in return.
Huanqing grabbed the coat and put it on while running. The postman was walking over with the mail bag on his back. When the postman saw it was him, he hurriedly handed him a letter.
Field 9, Seaside Railway Station, same as previous field
A steam train was coming into the station and slowly stopped. Not many people got off the bus, Kuan Mei got out of the bus with vigor, the captain handed her the luggage, and she saluted and thanked her respectfully.
She watched the train slowly exit the station on the platform.
Huanqing ran over from a distance, hurriedly took out the pen, put the cover in his mouth, took out the paper and wrote a note and handed it to Kuanmei. He was gasping for breath.
Kuan Zhuang quietly looked at him in a hurry, and looked at the note. The note said, "Brother has something to do. I'm going to pick him up. My name is Lin Huanqing." Only then did he realize that the pen cap was still in his mouth.
Kuanmei wrote on the paper, "Brother has mentioned you many times, I am very disturbed and grateful for your hard work" (in Japanese)
.
In the 10th session, in Jinguashi
Elementary School , it was connected to the simple primary school in the mountains in front of the field . During class time, the organ and the children's singing could be faintly heard, and the Taiwanese reciting "Qingyun is rotten, jumanmanxi, the sun and the moon are shining, and the sun is shining." Fudan Xi" voice.
In the lower grade classroom, Shizuko Ogawa is playing the organ and singing a Japanese nursery rhyme for the children. She smiled and looked at the innocent expressions of the children and fell into a kind of bewildered mood, even though she smiled. When the song was over, she stood there blankly.
The children looked at her in surprise.
Ogawa Shizuko suddenly woke up, hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, you sang too well, sir..." Then he played the prelude to cover up and said, "Let's sing again..." In
teacher Wu Kuanrong 's classroom, What was written on the blackboard was "Chinese national anthem, Qing Xue is rotten..." There was a hiragana phonetic next to the words.
Kuan Rong (after reading, he walked to the podium, very solemn): This is the national anthem of our country. No matter what, everyone must remember that in the future, not only will everyone be able to sing it, but our children and grandchildren will also sing it. no. (Laughing softly to himself, looking embarrassed) This is what my husband saw in a Chinese magazine a long time ago, secretly copied it, and kept it hidden.
Some of the students laughed like him, but some of them looked out the door shatteringly.
Kuanrong turned around, and it turned out that Huanqing and Kuanmei were standing there.
Kuan Rong (going to the door, calling his sister in Japanese): Kuan Mei.
The students in the back giggled, "Oh, Mr.'s lover!"
11 sessions, inside and outside Taijin Hospital, followed by the appearance of Taijin Hospital in the front
.
In the dormitory, Kuan Mei, under the guidance of a nurse, opened the window of her room and could see the sea in Keelung Island. After the nurse left, she opened her luggage and wanted to organize, but she was still fascinated by the scenery outside the window, so she walked over to look again.
In the diagnosis and treatment room, Kuan Rong was talking with the director Chen Sang about the past. Judging from Chen Sang's dress and the somewhat messy and miscellaneous books in the clinic (a large number of literary and non-medical books), we can understand that he was an open-minded intellectual in the early days of Taiwan.
Chen Sang (seemingly joking but serious): You brought Kuanmei to me, would your father be relieved?
Kuan Rong: Yi Ruo doesn't even worry about you, Kuan Mei has no place to go. (laughs) I don't know if my big brother took her away. After graduation, I couldn't live in the house and wanted to go out to the society.
Chen Sang (looks out and mumbles after a while of silence): Times have changed, dynasties have changed, people's eyes have to be opened, and Cha Fu Cha has the same style.
12 sessions, Jinguashi Photo Studio,
overlooking the Jinguashi Valley in the Pacific Ocean at dusk , the twilight is vast, and the night fog is gently closing up.
In the photo studio, Kuan Rong and Shizuko are looking at some photos to be trimmed on the workbench, almost all of which are the sad expressions of Japanese families. Kuanrong found that Shizuko's expression was a bit wrong.
Kuanrong (in a low voice in Japanese): What's the matter?
Shizuo smiled at him and shook his head.
Huanqing was busy moving the camera and props away and bringing the small dining table over.
Kuan Mei curiously looked at the portraits on the wall. They were all young soldiers. When she turned around, she saw Huanqing holding a rag to wipe the table. She hurried over and Huanqing ignored it. Kuan Rong said, "You keep him busy, so he will feel at ease."
Kuan Mei turned back, Huan Qing seemed to know what Kuan Rong was talking about, and smiled at her.
Kuan Mei (walking towards Kuan Rong, pointing to the photos on the wall, and asking in a low voice): Did Lin Sang keep the photos of everyone who went on the expedition?
Kuan Rong: Maybe. He said that the most touching thing about photos is that he can keep the moment when everything is extremely beautiful. He can't keep the lives of these people, but keeping photos can at least keep their youthful faces.
Kuanrong said with a smile, his words were normal, but Shizuko and Kuanmei seemed to have different feelings. Huanqing probably knew they were talking about him, and when Kuanmei looked at him, he smiled shyly.
Shizuko concealed something and greeted the woman who came out from the kitchen holding the bowls and chopsticks.
Kuanrong looked at Shizuo, and Kuanmei noticed the emotions of the two people sensitively. When she looked at Kuanrong, Kuanrong avoided her eyes.
13 games, Keelung Pier, the Keelung Pier was
cold and rainy, the crowd was congested, and everything was gray, including the sky, the sea, people's clothes and the umbrella surface glowing with light.
The train slowly passed the meter from the port.
Huanqing and A Kun, the plainly dressed second sister-in-law and daughter, A Xue, the eldest brother, and the third sister-in-law scattered among the crowd watching.
The Taiwanese soldiers came down one after another, their faces expressionless. Some held up white cloths that looked like soul-calling flags, some supported each other, and some held the ashes of friends, pouring out like ghosts.
Some people in the crowd rushed out, shouting Guiren's name in surprise, but the others were not disturbed at all, just stared blankly, just like the Lin family.
In the 14th game, inside and outside the Little Shanghai Restaurant, in the
afternoon on a sunny day, some bicycles and rickshaws were parked in a mess outside the Little Shanghai Restaurant. Some mainland soldiers walked by eating bananas in groups of three or five. They stopped to look and talked in Mandarin with a strong local accent.
In the reception area of the restaurant, grandpa, eldest brother, concubine brother and some brothers were surrounded by a black and yellow thin person. Aunt and sister-in-law were busy adding pork knuckle noodles for everyone, but the atmosphere seemed very solemn.
Grandpa (to the soldier returning to Na): Eat a little, it's not good, let's eat a little. (The soldier looks at him, but doesn't move) I think Huanwen will come back sooner rather than later. When Yi comes back, the third one will also come back. I have a plan to kill the pig man. I will invite everyone later. Now I mean, it's just luck with you.
Soldier: If Huanwen Sang comes back, please don’t speak, I and my son, I will bring them to kowtow to Yi. At the end of August, Ruan didn't know that Japan had surrendered, and he was hiding in the forest and didn't dare to come out. My Malaria (malaria) was severe, and I didn't know what to eat. Give me a drink, I would have died in the Philippines. If you know that later, the American soldiers went up the mountain to find someone, everyone thought they were going to kill each other, and they all ran away. I couldn’t run, and Huan Wensang even took me Placed in the pit, and then ran away, but who knows, the one who couldn't escape came to the house first!
The soldier's voice reached the back room, the third sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were sitting opposite each other. ..."
The sound of gongs and firecrackers could be heard from far outside.
In the 15th game, a small square,
a puppet show was being performed on the same small square in the front field , and red paper was pasted on the lintel, which read "Wish King Jinhuo's safe return to his hometown".
What was staged on the stage was the touching plot of the couple meeting and hugging each other.
Ah Kun and his sister were eating red bean pancakes, and they were fascinated by the audience.
Suddenly, there were two gunshots nearby, and everyone turned around to see a bunch of people running out of the side door of the theater. They stumbled.
Ah Kun guarded his sister cautiously.
The master acting on the stage also stopped and stuck his head out.
Resident A (asking the person who ran out): What are you rushing, how about pressing in the stage?
Audience A (scolding in a low voice): Fuck your mother, you have no conscience, you are a bandit! Three or four Ah Shanzai soldiers didn't have tickets and said they wanted to go in to see the play. Gu Men's hand reached out to get tickets. Yimen died. I don't know what to say. Come out, bang, there is enough torture and shadow!
Resident B: The second time. If you leave it like this, you can show it to Yi, and the Chronicle will be published sooner or later.
16 games, Taijin dormitory, Japan
The wooden planks of the compartments of Taijin dormitory were removed and converted into temporary wards, and there were some wounded soldiers lying there, but the whole environment was clean and solemn, and there was no bloody atmosphere. Kuan Mei, other nurses and Dean Chen were busy in various places, auscultating and changing medicines or giving injections.
When Kuan Mei raised her head, she saw Huoqing hurried in. He smiled and bowed to Kuan Mei. Someone behind him shouted, "Huanqing." But he didn't hear it, and Kuanmei pointed at him.
A few people heard Huanqing's voice, and they all stood up a little. Huanqing turned around and saw a familiar friend. He couldn't contain his excitement. He hurried over and held hands with those people enthusiastically. flapping. Some people showed him the wounds on his arms, as if they were shot with a rifle, but some people opened their stomachs and said, "It's not enough to see, look at this..." Showing the appearance of machine gun fire, a lot of people said enthusiastically write.
Field 17, on a hillside,
facing the twilight Pacific Ocean at dusk, an old man stands on the shore.
Some people were running on the ridgeline of the distant hillside.
On the back of the old man, we heard Shizuko's cry, "Oduosang!" Shizuko and Kuanrong
ran to the edge of the cliff, standing in shock, with the others behind them. The old man didn't look back, but we saw his trembling back.
Shizuko: Dosan! Shizuko is calling you!
The old man still didn't move.
A group of people didn't dare to move, they just watched sadly, and then we saw Chen Sang, Kuan Mei and Huanqing also running over, and heard Jingzi's voice saying: "Duosang! Jingzi can't live without you!"
Kuan Rong Move slowly towards the old man.
The back of the old man.
Shizuko: Don't you want to take a look at Shizuko? Duosang...
Shizuko screamed and knelt down.
The old man slowly turned around blankly. Kuan Rong took the opportunity to fly over, hug him, and roll to the ground.

Chen Sang: Just let him sleep for a while, watch him, if he wakes up and still can't calm down, come and call me.
Jingzi saluted and thanked Chen Sang, Huanqing helped Chen Sang to carry the purse, but Chen Sang declined when he got to the door, and he went out alone. There was only the sound of Mr. Ogawa's breathing in the room.
Shizuko (looking at his father's face and gently stroking his father's hand): Duosang must have misunderstood me the most... (speaking quietly) A few days ago, the radio said that Japanese overseas Chinese were about to be deported in batches, Duosang He said that although he loves this place, he is a foreigner who has lost the battle, so he must go back. I remember, I once said, this is my birthplace, my mother is also buried here, and my brother is gone. Aomori, far away, is a strange and foreign country to me... Duosang doesn't understand how I feel... (turning around with a gulped breath, a reluctant smile opens towards Huanqing and Kuanrong) Here, I once I will never forget the wonderful time spent...
Huanqing couldn't hear her and looked at Kwanrong.
With tears in her eyes, Kuanmei looked at Shizuko and her brother, looking forward to what her brother would say, but Kuanrong remained silent.
On the 19th, inside and outside the train, with the
sharp whistle of the day, a southbound train galloped across the field.
Inside the train, Huanqing put a half-read book on his lap. It was a Japanese translation of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. He looked out the window, thinking about something.
The third sister-in-law sits next to him, and she has her own thoughts. She touches her wedding ring unconsciously.
In the 20th session, a school in Kaohsiung was connected to
a temporary rescue station for wounded soldiers in the auditorium of a school in the front field . It was different from the order and calmness in Taijin. It was crowded and messy. There were voices of inquiry and crying everywhere. running.
Huanqing and the third sister-in-law searched among the piles of patients. Sometimes they saw people who were all covered in gauze, and had to go to the name tags beside the stretcher.
Then, they both ran quickly as if seeing something.
On a separate bed in the corner, a man with a shaggy beard was tied. He was yellow and thin, and slept soundly, with beads of sweat on his face.
The third sister-in-law covered the almost burst of tears with a handkerchief, Huanqing looked at her, and dragged her to a nurse who was writing letters for the wounded soldiers.
Huanqing hurriedly took out the letter in his pocket and showed it to the nurse.
Nurse (read the letter, look at them): Here you go.
Third Sister-in-law (choked and excited): How can you treat Yi like this? You shouldn't be tied up like this...
Second brother Huanliang suddenly screamed like a dog.
On the 21st scene, in the train (memory), in the Japanese
train, Huanliang was desperately crowding among the passengers, and someone in the back shouted, "Catch the traitor! Catch the traitor!" Huanliang shouted helplessly, "I'm from Taiwan! I'm from Taiwan!" The soldiers who squeezed in slammed into him with the butts of their guns. The train whistle blared sharply and entered the cave. The picture was completely black.
Field 22, on a hillside, where it was
rainy and rainy, a simple sedan chair carried the collapsed Huanliang, with his hands and feet tied with cloth. Huanqing and the third sister-in-law followed, and the elder brother was at the forefront.
In the 23rd session, Taijin Hospital,
Big Brother Ri was sitting in the consultation room, a rare silence, the smoke was burning between his fingers, and there was a long section of soot.
Chen Sang was writing the medical records. After writing, he looked at the elder brother and handed the ashtray to the elder brother.
Chen Sang: Don't be depressed. It's a blessing for people to come back safely. Let Yi Jingyang take a look first.
Big Brother (muttering): Gan Yi Niang! I don't know if there is something wrong with the feng shui of Ruan's mother or what. There are four brothers in the family.
Chen Sang (looking up at him): It's not just your mother, I think there is something wrong with the feng shui in Taiwan. In the beginning, when Pangu opened the sky, he just gave Yi Nian a hug in Japan, so he didn't need to press the button. Everyone ate it, everyone rode it, and no one hurt.
The eldest brother smiled knowingly, when suddenly there was the scream of the third brother, and then the cry of the third sister-in-law.
Chen Sang and his elder brother hurried out.
There was chaos in the ward. The third brother who broke free was restraining the third sister-in-law. Huanqing went to catch the third brother, but was repeatedly thrown away, and the third sister-in-law blushed and struggled.
The eldest brother ran in and shouted, "Liangzi, where are you?" In the past, he wanted to pull the third brother away, but the third brother was so powerful that the eldest brother couldn't catch him at all.
Chen Sang (to Kuan Mei): Prepare a tranquilizer.
The eldest brother suddenly opened his eyes in anger and hit the third brother on the head hard: "You ㄒ ㄧ ㄠ, you ㄒ ㄧ ㄠ, I will give you a card with a little bit!" He knocked him unconscious with force.
Huanqing hurriedly helped the third sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law gasped and coughed, and then ran out.
The third sister-in-law vomited in the gutter in the corridor, and Huanqing patted her.
Chen Sang and Kuanmei help the third brother get an injection. The eldest brother re-tied the hands and feet of the third brother, looked at the bruises and bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, rudely wiped it with his hands, looked at it resentfully, wiped it again, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and he walked out.
Outside the corridor, Huanqing looked at the third sister-in-law who was still panting.
The elder brother came out and lit a cigarette tremblingly, with tears in his eyes. He looked up at the sky with the cigarette in his mouth, and said hoarsely: "I will fuck your mother card well..."
24 games, Jinguashi Primary School, Ri
Jinguashi Primary School Outside the classroom, there was an old school worker in the corridor slowly walking towards the signal clock. She was learning the "Mandarin" that came out of the classroom. It was Wu Kuanrong's voice, saying "I am Chinese, I want to speak Chinese." Pronounce it as "I (Taiwanese pronunciation) ㄙ Chinese ㄌ ㄧ ㄅ, I want to speak Chinese ㄍ ㄨ ㄛ".
In the classroom, Kuan Rong pointed to the Chinese characters with phonetic symbols on the blackboard, teaching seriously and seriously. The bell rang.
When Kuan Rong walked out of the classroom with a group of children, he heard someone calling him "Rong
Zai—— " He turned around and saw Lin Honglong in a Chinese tunic suit, the principal and a stranger He Yongkang.
Lin Honglong smiled at him, Kuan Rong waited for a while before calling Mr. Sheng Lin, running over and hugging each other with joy.
Kuan Rong (muttering): I thought you wouldn't come... I'll never see you...
Principal (laughs): Lin Sang not only came back, but is now starting to tease us, he was sent here to take over the teaching affairs director.
With Kuan Rong's questioning eyes, Lin Honglong smiled affirmatively at him, and then he greeted He Yongkang.
Honglong (Mandarin): Introduce you to a good friend and classmate, the bookworm, Wu Kuanrong.
Kuanrong (unfamiliar Mandarin): Nice to meet you. Younger brother Wu Kuanrong, please give me more advice in the future.
Honglong (surprised): Hey, hold on tight, learn Beijing dialect. (Introduction) He Yongkang, a reporter from the Mainland Ta Kung Pao.
Kuan Rong shook hands with him.
In the 25 games, in a certain restaurant and night
restaurant, Honglong, Kuanrong, Kuanmei, Huanqing, He Yongkang, the principal and others were all present. The taste of drinking is already on the face, but because of the unfamiliarity or the restraint after a long absence, the scene still seems to be restrained. The principal kept asking Honglong to eat Lai, "Where are the five willow branches, you must have not eaten for a long time, come, use, use." He also asked He Yongkang to eat, "Mr. He, five or six ㄐ ㄧ, eat. ."
Honglong (Taiwanese, to the principal and Kuanrong): Japan surrendered, what is Taiwan now?
Kuanrong looked at him with a strange smile.
Principal (reluctantly, in very poor Mandarin): Very good, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland and saw the blue sky and white sun flag.
Kuan Rong (after glancing at the principal, but looking at him sadly, in Taiwanese): He is a man of his own, and he speaks inside the stomach. The bandit like Chen Yi is also used by the motherland. I don’t think I look forward to the motherland too much. !
Honglong listened in shock.
Kuanmei (complainingly, in Japanese): Brother!
He Yongkang couldn't understand. He looked at Honglong and Kuanrong, eager to know something.
Principal (smoothing): Come on, don't mind talking and drinking.
Huanqing sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, but he also raised his glass.
Honglong (after drinking, as if trying to hide his emotions, he deliberately asked Kuanrong loudly): Hello, are you married? (Kuanrong is stunned, smiles helplessly, and shakes his head) Not even a lover? (Japanese) Useless guy!
Kuan Rong: I'm useless? How about you? Where is the wife?
Honglong (smiling): In Chongqing.
Kuan Rong: Really? Why didn't you bring it back?
Honglong (still laughing): Passed away, only 22 years old. (points to his stomach) Boy, four months, the air raid, the bombs fell outside the air-raid shelter, thousands of people inside, startled, rushed out together, trampled to death, suffocated to death.
Kuanrong and Kuanmei's expressions suddenly changed, Huanqing didn't understand and looked at them.
Yongkang: Very sad. That time, he went to find someone to help lift the body. After carrying it all night, he found it only after his hands were soft, his face was smashed, and his hands were still protecting his stomach.
The room fell silent for a moment, and there was singing outside.
Kwan-young (seemingly trying to break the silence): Ah, the exile trilogy.
Yongkang (surprised): Do you know that too?
Kuan Rong sang along.
So Yongkang also sang, and Honglong finally sang with everyone.
The singing flowed to the whole mountain city outside the restaurant.
In the 26th session, Taijin Hospital,
the singing of the night came into the hospital room, the third brother sat on the bed sluggishly, his hands and feet were not tied, and the third sister-in-law was feeding him. The third brother who was chewing something slowly stopped. When the third sister-in-law handed another spoonful, he avoided it slightly, turned his head to look out the window, and the singing became high. He seemed to be holding back an emotion, his hands were trembling slightly, The sister-in-law looked at him in surprise. Third
Sister-in-law (softly): Huanliang...
Third brother looked out the window with tears in his eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Third Sister-in-law (puts down the tableware, gently supports his shoulders, and whispers in amazement): Huanliang...
Third brother turned his head, his whole face softened, he looked at Third Sister-in-law, expressionless, but raised his head He started, finally recognizing the person in front of him, and hugging the third sister-in-law tightly.
27 games, a small street, a
rare sunny day at midnight , the afternoon sun falls on the valley of Jinguashi and the far sea. Bright and clean in late winter.
The Japanese folk songs faded in, and the miners who came out of the pits on the small streets walked sporadically, looking at some of the Japanese belongings on the roadside for sale, the clothes, dishes, furniture, old clocks, radios, etc. that were arranged in a very orderly manner. The Japanese were silent and respectful either sitting or kneeling, and they bowed the same to those who came to see them, or those who left after seeing them.
Huanqing walked over among the miners, looked around, and was stunned when he looked up from a booth.
Shizuko also knelt aside, with only a sewing machine in front of her.
When Jingzi saw Huanqing walking by, she was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled and saluted respectfully.
Huanqing also smiled and returned the salute, as if he wanted to express something, but he was thinking, Jingzi looked at him and slowly lowered his head.
Along with the music, we saw a spinning phonograph, placed among some other items, surrounded by some workers in front, watching curiously.
"How much?" Someone asked, "Hi!" The Japanese replied, "It's cheap!" A worker said.
In the 28th session, Jinguashi Primary School, in the
darkened office, only the principal sat in his seat. During class time, there were primary school students reading Mandarin texts and the sound of the organ, singing "words of the West Wind".
The principal was also reading Chinese, which was the Chairman's Victory Message to Compatriots. After reading it hard, he heard a knock on the door and a Japanese name for Mr. Principal.
Shizuko seems to have dressed up deliberately. She is standing by the door holding a long box and a burden.
Shizuko (Japanese): Excuse me, the principal, is Mr. Wu Kuanrong not here?
Principal (Japanese): I took leave in the morning to go to Taipei with his friends to participate in the founding ceremony of the press union.
Shizuko (a look of disappointment flashes across her face quickly, but she smiles under cover): Ah, that's it.
Principal (murmurs): I don't understand, it doesn't matter to him, what is he going to do.
Shizuko walked through the empty campus far away, stopped slowly in the middle of the playground, and turned to look at the entire school. Behind her was a cloudy sky, and there was a deep thunder in the distance.
In Game 29 A, Jinguashi Hospital,
a gust of wind blew outside the window of the previous game , slammed the window open, and it seemed that the rain was about to fall.
Kuan Mei closed the window, bolted it, and walked away as if afraid of waking up. Only then did we see that it was the third brother's ward. The third brother slept peacefully, and the third sister-in-law was sitting on the side dozing off, still holding crochet hooks and wool in her hands.
Kuan Mei looked at the door, walked out, and closed the door gently, someone came over on the corridor and called her General Kuan Mei.
Shizuko and a nurse stood in the distance.
Game 29 B, the dormitory,
in the room next to Kuanmei, Shizuko and Kuanmei were sitting on the folded seats, the sound of rain. Shizuko opened the long box, which was a fine bamboo sword.
Shizuko (in a low voice): Please give it to General Kuanrong, it used to be the favorite thing of my father and my two brothers. Now, both brothers have died in battle, and my father is too old to use it. I hope Kuanrong will like it.
Kuan Mei bowed and said, "Brother will cherish it, for sure."
Shizuko (laughs, looks at the sword for a while before covering it, then moves the burden to Kuan Mei): This is for Kuan Mei will.
Kuan Mei (a little surprised): For me?
Shizuo nodded, motioning her to open it.
Kanmi opened the box and it was a kimono.
Kanmi: Kimono? (touching lightly) So pretty! (suddenly closes the lid inappropriately) Shizuko-san, I can't have it, it's too precious, it must be your most precious.
Shizuko: General Kanmei, please accept it. In the future, in far-off Japan, thinking about the clothes that I cherished, wearing it on Kuanmei's body, that beautiful appearance... I will be so happy in my heart.
Kuan Mei was about to refuse, but she saw Shizuko smiling with tears in her eyes.
Kuanmei (softly): Shizuko will...
Shizuko (little under his lower lip, still smiling): Over the years, thanks to your brother's care... (seemingly unable to bear, bending over to cover, choking) Very gratitude. After we say goodbye, I hope each other will never forget... (but he doesn't get up, holding his face in his hands, his body trembling slightly)
Kuanmei doesn't know how to comfort her, so she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shizuko (suddenly raises his head): That's it. Goodbye, General Kuanmei.
After Shizuko finished speaking, she got up in a hurry and stepped down from the folded seat.
Bamboo sword, kimono.
Kuan Mei (wiping away her tears and standing up in a hurry): Shizuko-san, please wait a moment.
Shizuko stepped out quickly, and Kuanmei hurriedly took out an umbrella from the closet.
Shizuko, who walked away with an umbrella in the rain, still covered her face with one hand.
The wide beauty of the rain across the door is also a face of tears. (Japanese folk song "Hometown" fades in)
Shizuko stopped and turned around again, bowed to Kuanmei, and walked away slowly.
Wide and beautiful.
In the 30th session,
Kuanmei dormitory, the small courtyard of Yetaijin Hospital, the flowers and trees still had water vapor, and on the lampposts , nocturnal moths were flying around the lights. The music of "Hometown" continues.
Kuanmei was writing a diary under the lamp, when a moth came in, hitting the lampshade from time to time.
Kuan Mei: (OS starts from the beginning of this scene...) Later, Shizuko left with my umbrella, innocent woman, lonely back, cold rain in the afternoon - I suddenly have this kind of mournful lingering sentence Sadness - ruthless brother, I know that you love Sister Shizuko too, why don't you show it bravely? Is it just because we were warring nations? Or... (Kuanmei stopped the pen and looked at the moth that hit the lamp, the moth later stopped on the lampshade, she gently pushed it away, thinking about something, and then picked up the pen again) At dusk, Lin Huanqing came to change with the dean again. Books, borrowing books, the two of them talked for a long time, and my colleague Meiju heard his laughter and said, "It's a pity, such a bright man should have such a defect." Such a bold statement is actually my mood! (Kuanmei smiled shyly and shyly) In the
31st session, in the photo studio, Ye
Huanqing was busy cutting photos. The singing of "Hometown" reverberated, and some people sang along softly.
The phonograph was placed in the house, and a group of people were watching and listening.
Huanqing looked up and smiled happily. The third sister-in-law came in, smiled awkwardly with the whole room, and Huanqing greeted her.
The third sister-in-law took Huanqing to the inside, and while looking at the people outside, there seemed to be something difficult to say.
After comparing it for a long time, Huanqing didn't understand, so she took out a pen.
Third Sister-in-law (in a low voice): I, I can't read, how can you use a pen? I want to borrow money from you. (gestures with banknotes) Money, do you know?
Huanqing understood, took out some money from the messy pockets on his body, and handed it to the third sister-in-law.
Third sister-in-law (Bibi herself, shaking her hand): I didn't want it, it was your third brother (who gestured to you three, and then gestured to the person who hooked his arm beside him).
Huanqing nodded sharply, still smiling.
The third sister-in-law's expression darkened. After comparing the "third brother", Bibi shook her head and said, "Your third brother, I really can't save it."
In the 32nd session, the restaurant was connected to Yanliao, and it was in front of the
humble restaurant in the front court . Sister-in-law 3 walked to the door, hesitated for a while, and then came in with her head down.
She entered, a row of rooms, the door was closed or opened, there were the sound of wine fisting, singing and male and female laughter, she stood there at a loss. Someone like a bodyguard came over and asked who to look for? The third sister-in-law said "Ruan 尪". The bodyguard said, "The man here, what's your name?" "Lin Huanliang." "Oh, where's the mid-mountain tree?" He pointed inside.
The third sister-in-law nodded at him and walked inside. There happened to be a man and a woman in a certain room. They came out half drunk and almost bumped into the third sister-in-law.
The third sister-in-law avoided embarrassedly, and still walked in, she was sullen.
The back room is a few compartments, very quiet. There are curtains hanging from the entrance of the room, and some reclining people can be vaguely seen. The third sister-in-law heard the third brother's voice as soon as she walked in. He said, "In all of China, the person who can do the most business is the Shanghai boy. If there is money to be made, any kind of seam will be drilled. Just show him, Ah Shanzai. Although the soldiers will come first, but if you want to make money, you must come first from Shanghai." In the
room, the third brother was yawning and was chatting with the red monkey, and the red monkey listened with interest.
Red Monkey: If you press it, your time has come. You can speak Beijing dialect and Shanghai dialect.
At this time, the third sister-in-law came to the door, saw that they were talking, glanced at the third brother, and stood there resentfully.
Red Monkey (I don't know the identity of the third sister-in-law, but with a smile on his face): Oh, the new girl, she also avoids the vulgar (implicitly) ㄍ ㄚ. Come in, you can choose Ruan, I'm rude, Isvin.
The third sister-in-law was on fire.
Third brother (smiling casually): Ruan.
The red monkey froze for a moment, then stood up immediately.
Red Monkey: Ah...oh, (laughs awkwardly) It's a brother and sister-in-law, rude, I thought, ah (bows to the
third sister-in-law) I'm rude... Third brother (still lying down, leisurely): Yi's surname Jiang, my companion.
Red Monkey: Just call me Red Monkey.
The third sister-in-law didn't speak, but came in. The red monkey looked at them and said interestingly: "Sister-in-law sit down, (speaking to the third brother) I will find you again (chat)..." After apologizing to the third sister-in-law again Go out and let the curtain down.
Third Sister-in-law (throws the money on the small coffee table, coldly): This is borrowed from Huanqing, you know what kind of environment we are in, and I will give you this (burning, roasting) without any pastoral house. .
The third brother listened, did not speak, went to light the lamp and took a breath, the third sister-in-law looked at him.
The third brother handed the bong to the third sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Three: I'm not here!
The third brother didn't insist, and took another breath.
Third Brother (slow and low voice): This is a good medicine. If you suck two mouths, hell will become heaven at any time.
The third brother seemed to be in a certain mood again, and there was a bright streamer in his eyes. He looked at the third sister-in-law, extremely soft. The third sister-in-law also seemed to have a little pity and pity for him.
The third brother put down the bong, his eyes did not leave the third sister-in-law, she stood up, and the third sister-in-law lowered her head. The third brother suddenly pushed her down on the smoking couch, kissed her passionately, and muttered, "It's been a long time... it's been a long time..." The third sister-in-law also responded fiercely to him at this time.
Looking at the passionate two people through the curtain, very slowly, our eyes retreated.
In the 33 games, inside and outside
the small restaurant, in the small restaurant in front of the front court , there was still a lot of noise between men and women.
A blind couple and a discerning girl are singing a mournful Nanguan in the small room of Red Monkey and Aju.
The Red Monkey and Aju didn't hear it, and drank sullenly.
The third brother and the third sister-in-law walked out of the Yanliao and walked through the alley. The third brother may have heard Nanguan's voice, so he stopped to look at it, and the red monkey just saw it inside, barked, and greeted him cordially.
Red Monkey: Huanliang...(Seeing the third sister-in-law nods politely) Brother and sister-in-law. (Chao Huanliang) Did you enjoy it? Come in and have a drink, sooth your throat.
The third brother smiled, as if on purpose, and glanced at the third sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Three: No, Yi is going back to the hospital.
Red Monkey: What are you going to do when you go back to the hospital? How hard it is to lie down. Drink a little, and the blood qi card will pass, right. (pulling the third brother) Come on, let's talk, sister-in-law, you are also with me.
Third brother: I'll just sit down for a while. It's not yet time to take the medicine.
Third Sister-in-law (grabbing white): You eat it inside, and now you have to eat it again, how dare the pharmacist in the hospital still use it?
The third brother gave her a displeased look.
The third sister-in-law left without looking back, the red monkey dragged the third brother in, and Aju stood up politely.
Red Monkey (points at Aju): Aju, old man...hehe... (to Aju) Yeah, you won't give Brother Ruan Aliang a toast, will you?
Aju helped Huanliang pour the wine and raised a glass to him, and the third brother and her looked at each other.
In the 34th game, on the Jiufen stairway, after
walking up the front stairway for a while, the red monkey looked at the third brother and suddenly laughed.
Red Monkey: Yes, you can speak Beijing language well, and you have something to say to Ah Shanzai. If I have a business to ask you to do, would you dare to try Milie?
Third Brother: What business?
After the red monkey looked around, he pulled him under the street light and took out an item from his arms.
Red Monkey: I will show you the object first, but it will be unclear whether it will be made or not. (Another thing), you must not let others know.
Third Brother (looking at it): Japanese money. What to do.
Red Monkey (laughing mysteriously): Look, what kind of rice is not the same? (The third brother can't see the famous hall, he turns it back and forth, and the red monkey points to the banknotes) minus two Yinzi, is there? (The third brother suddenly looked at the red monkey.)
The red monkey put away the money, left the street lights with the third brother, and looked around before talking while walking.
Red Monkey: This is not long before the Restoration. The factory where the Japanese printed money was scattered. The machines were installed in the pit. We only printed money here. I heard that Yinzi printed it elsewhere. You know, now the banks are all accepting them, and if the Iraqi Zhongshan bags are full, they will let you exchange them no matter how much. It is simpler to imitate Yinzai. If Ashanzai can drive, we will be half of us.
Third Brother: How many?
The red monkey smiled vaguely at him.
Field 35, the miners' dormitory, the miners' dormitory where the
dawn is beginning to appear, has smoke from cooking.
Inside the house, the red monkey removed the debris on the floor, pulled open the floor, dragged out two cloth bags, opened them, and the third brother took out a large bundle of banknotes and flipped through them.
Red Monkey Mother: (OS) Monkey.
The third brother was startled, and a very nervous reaction made the action of drawing the gun from the armpit.
In the dark by the door, an old woman with loose gray hair stood there.
Red Monkey: Don't be alarmed, Mother Ruan.
Red Monkey Mother: Monkey, are you late for dinner?
Red Monkey: Eat it.
When the red monkey mother heard it, she walked out.
The third brother gasped in shock, and the red monkey looked at him at a loss.
The Red Monkey Mother sat at the table without lighting, and started to eat his "dinner". The dried radish was chewed with a carrageenous sound, and the porridge was snorted.
Field 36, Taijin Hospital, in the
ward of Taijin Hospital in the morning , the concubine was standing there in bright clothes carrying fruits and other food.
The third sister-in-law was sitting on the chair of the hospital bed with her head lowered. Kuan Mei and a nurse stood in front of her, and the nurse was quite nervous. In the environment, Chen Sang and the nurse were reading Mandarin, which was very non-standard. Chen Sang asked, "What's wrong with you?" The nurses chorused together, "I have a headache, my stomach hurts." "Do you have a fever?" "A little bit. "
Kuanmei: Yi returned late last night and didn't come back?
The third sister-in-law shook her head.
Kuan Mei: What time did you go out?
Sister-in-law Three: I went out after dinner.
Kuan Mei: Where did you go without telling you?
The third sister-in-law shook her head.
Nurse (slightly complaining): You didn't ask him. I brought medicine in the middle of the night, and you tricked me into using the toilet.
Kuan Mei (stops the nurse): Be quiet, the dean will be harmed if he finds out. I have asked his brother to find him. (Chao concubine brother) Excuse me, please wait a moment.
Brother concubine (laughing hahaha): It doesn't matter, the people of Chafu will go home to find no one to show their health, hehe... Sister-in-law Chaosan, alright, Liangsang will be picked up for you.
Chen Sang and the nurse were still reciting Mandarin in the dim morning light of the consultation room. Kuan Mei and the nurse were also reciting there now. Through the window, they saw Huanqing and the third brother walking by.
In the ward, the concubine was smoking a cigarette in a bored way, and practiced the action of throwing off the lid of the gasoline lighter to start a fire, while the third sister-in-law was sorting her clothes.
Huanqing and the third brother came in. When the concubine saw it, he threw the cigarette on the ground, pointed at the third brother, and said excitedly, "Liangzi - fuck your mother -" The
third brother rushed over, and the two held hands and clapped their shoulders. The concubine looked at him from head to toe.
Brother concubine: It's a good thing, go, what a coquettish way to go yesterday, causing the sister-in-law and the nurse to find no one.
The third brother looked at his wife, but the third sister-in-law ignored her and packed up her things.
Third sister-in-law (hurriedly closing the burden, facing the third brother): I want to go back to Keelung to take care of the child.
As she said that, she went out. Huanqing felt that something was wrong. Seeing that the third brother didn't respond, she followed.
The third brother didn't react in particular, he turned his head and smiled at his concubine.
Third Brother: I’m like this, I’m used to it. Before I became a soldier, when I was compelled by Ruan Da, Ruan Tu moved out here every day.
The third brother went to the bed, picked up the breakfast that was there, and ate it.
Brother Concubine: How dare you meet two brothers from Shanghai, one is Ah Shan and the other is Billy.
The third brother was stunned for a moment.
Third Brother: You know them.
Brother concubine (push him): Come on, you really know me. I'm halfway through the business. Let me tell you that the earth is really small. A few days ago, I went to Beitou with you to play horse miscellaneous (pai gow) , The two Shanghai boys in the field listened to Ruan Keelong and asked Ruan if he knew Lin Huanliang. Your eldest generation trembled a little at first, wondering if you might have a grudge with people in Shanghai, and people would come looking for you. May 43 cried with them and was sleepy, only then did Wei Zi know that Yi was coming to you to arrange business... (whispering) I heard that the two brothers and sons of Yi have a good relationship with some big officials in Shanghai, and they want to come to Taiwan Take some sugar and rice in the past. Now these two are controlled. I heard that the four realms of Shanghai owe goods. (Muttering to himself) As for the items left by the Japanese, you should go to ㄊ ㄧ ㄡ ㄧ building (to earn one vote).
The third brother looked at him and slowly put down his chopsticks.
Third Brother (smiles): Do you want to take the opportunity to make your own meal?
Concubine brother (also with a wry smile): Why, you have a big personality, you know, we will always be small, I will let us take a shot.
Third brother (laughs): Don't let him know if he dares.
When the concubine heard this, he was a little surprised and excited.
Concubine: You, dare to be short?
Third brother: I will tell you the details later. You go to Keelung to check it out. You dare to have a quiet-mouthed, engraved, or an edition master.
Brother Concubine (excitedly): There's no problem with that. (hit his forehead exaggeratedly) Ah, go, I'm bringing an item, and I'm coming to give you a shock and forget it, go. (Takes off a gold pocket watch tied to the bottom of his trousers, takes the third brother's hand and puts it on it) You don't need to talk, it's just to shock you.
In the 37th game, inside and outside the Little Shanghai Restaurant,
three rickshaws from Japan were heading for the Little Shanghai Restaurant. The first car is the third brother and Ashan talking happily, the second car is the concubine brother and Billy, the concubine brother is introducing the street scene to Billy, and the last car is a serious and dull old watch.
When they got out of the car at the door, the concubine paid for Shanghai Pai, and the third brother used Shanghai dialect to ask. The old watch followed Billy and Ah Shan and looked around.
At the entrance, eldest brother and Ke Sang stood there to greet him. Billy greeted eldest brother warmly. After eldest brother shook hands with Billy and Ah Shan, he introduced Ke Sang.
Big Brother (Taiwanese): This is my sworn brother, Ke's. In Japan, it was the Baozheng on the other side of the wharf. It is the same style now, but the name is different. Now it is called Lichang.
The third brother explained, and after the two brothers shook hands with him, they introduced Lao Biao.
Ah Shan: He is a friend of Bai Xiang who came to Taiwan with us, so just call him Lao Biao.
The elder brother and Ke Sang also shook hands with him.
Big Brother: Please come inside.
In a tatami room, the eldest brother and Ke Sang sat cross-legged while the third brother translated, and they talked with Ah Shan and Billy. The old watch sat further behind them, and the concubine sat behind Ke Sang.
38 games, the casino in the prostitute area of
Tianliao Port, the harbour of Tianliao Port at dusk , broken sails and sampans.
The clutter and decadence near the prostitute area, a bunch of homeless people play chess on the ground, or brag, and some people drink old wine at the stalls.
When the concubine and the third brother entered the casino, there was a lot of smoke inside, and it was full of table-top "martial arts", horse miscellaneous, Shiji, etc.
Brother Concubine (after saying hello a few times, he asked the audience): Have you seen Luo Guzai?
The man pointed inside, and the two walked in. One by one, someone led them into the small rooms, and behind them was someone named Liangzi!
The third brother turned his head, and a person swayed out of the door of the room, holding the doorpost with both hands, with a cold smile on his face.
Jinquan: You're not dead, eh? how? Don't you know?
Third brother: It will be burnt to ashes. I know you Jinquan by smell. I just heard that you didn't die in the fire island pass.
The concubine was a little embarrassed to hear what they said.
Brother concubine: You two also know each other, no wonder you love to talk and laugh so much. Press it, you two have just come back, someday, I will set up a table.
Acheng: (OS) How can there be that kind of chronicle.
On the other side of the aisle, a man who was slightly older than his elder brother Huanxiong came down, and the people in the field accompanied him.
Acheng: Huanliang came to my place for a walk, I would not ask.
As he said, he reached out and shook hands with the third brother, climbed the third brother's shoulder, and walked to a special room.
Acheng: It is a blessing to be able to come back. How is your second brother, dare to have news?
Third Brother: No, no one knows who lives or dies. (Everyone enters the room) Where are you young?
Acheng: He died, he died on Luzon Island, and the ashes were sent back with a ㄇ ㄧ ㄝ (a handful), so I don’t know if it was Yi’s.
Everyone sat down, and the fans brought smoking sets in. Afterwards, Luo Guzai saw Acheng at the door, and he didn't dare to come in.
The third brother and Luo Guzai nodded.
Acheng (stands up with a very interesting look): If you have a representative, you can talk about it (discuss while lying down), I don't want to disturb you.
Third Brother (also stands up): I came to talk to you after I finished here.
Acheng went out and turned back to help them lower the curtains.
(jumping in mirror) The third brother looked in a trance, with the bong in his mouth, and his eyes slanted to one side.
Luo Guzai
