[Footprints of Change]
[Episode 13]
How did you know that woman?
Just mind your own business.
You can't act like that,
my dear minister.
That's not very gentlemanly of you.
A female comrade
brought you noodles, and you wouldn't even eat them.
She wanted to treat you to dinner,
and you pulled a face
even longer than mine.
Enough.
I've given you enough respect already.
I'm warning you—
this Huang Lingling
doesn't seem simple at all.
Our army just entered the city.
There are plenty of women like her
from the old regime.
Why don't you just say
that Huang Lingling's a KMT agent?
Fine, so my kindness counts for nothing.
From now on,
I won't get involved in your messes.
You really don't need to.
Are you back to your old habits again?
You just got to Shanghai
and you're already dazzled?
What?
You just had to bring that up,
didn't you?
You know what?
From now on,
I won't get involved in your love life at all.
You'll just be alone
for the rest of your life.
Yi Yi.
Yi Yi.
Come down.
They said you were sick,
so I came to check on you.
Don't be so nervous.
I'm not here on behalf of myself.
I'm here on behalf of the organization...
to check on you.
I'm not nervous.
I've got nothing left anyway.
If you want to hate me,
then go ahead.
If you want me to feel sorry
or guilty,
then you're wrong.
I owe you nothing.
Those things you wrote,
if I hadn't seen them, it'd be fine.
But I did,
and I had to report it.
That's discipline.
I don't hate you.
I just feel a little pity for you.
Why do you feel pity for me?
You're just pretending to be something you're not.
Lucky for you, Minister Wen
is educated
and broad-minded.
If it were anyone else,
who knows how they'd handle someone like you.
I've delivered the organization's regards.
I'll get going now.
Medicine!
Didn't you have stomach problems before?
Zhaoyuan used to...
You know how to cook it, right?
Slow simmer, remember.
Thank you.
The organization has reviewed your case
and decided to deal with it through criticism and education.
You need to write a self-criticism report,
then it won't go on your record.
Thank you, Ma'am.
But,
don't think you're in the clear
just because this is over.
You must actively participate in
the political study sessions organized by the trade union.
As an intellectual from the old era,
if you want to keep up with the new times,
you need to change your attitude,
and firmly stand
with the working class.
Thank you, Ma'am.
But I don't have a unit now.
The organization has arranged a job for you.
Anhua Workshop has established a night school.
You'll be responsible
for teaching the cultural courses there.
This job
will also help you have a deeper understanding
of the workers
and benefit from their assistance.
Your appointment letter.
Here you are.
Take it!
Aren't you going to say thank you?
Say "Thank you, Ma'am."
Thank you, Ma'am.
Ms. Yi.
I know all about your situation.
I just want to tell you—
don't lose hope.
I have no hope left.
Mine is already shattered.
I'm sorry.
I'm complaining again.
It won't happen again.
Actually,
the moment you chose to hand over your diary,
you should've known this could happen.
Did I have any other choice?
Of course you did.
You could have
refused to hand it over
or destroyed it.
I handed over my diary
because I felt I had nothing to hide.
And I believed that...
eventually, some leader would understand.
Your personality
made you choose the hardest path
for yourself.
Do you know what's hardest for me?
Your dignity.
Your privacy.
I know these things are...
more precious than life itself
to an intellectual.
Am I right?
The new China has only been established for 5 years,
and there's so much to rebuild.
Some things
we haven't done well,
and some cadres have been insensitive.
These are objective facts.
But overall, the new China is making good progress—
it's positive and upbeat.
So,
you need to be more optimistic,
alright?
For those of you doing great things,
the times and history
may allow you to make mistakes.
No mistakes should be allowed.
We must avoid them as best we can.
I heard from Fu Zihe
that thanks to your persistence,
I wasn't given harsh punishment,
nor was it recorded in my file.
Thank you.
That was
the organization's decision.
Then thanks to the organization.
Director.
I'll take this call then.
Go ahead.
Hello.
Mr. Yang isn't here.
What?
Zhou,
I retrieved these files for you.
What's wrong?
Director,
Mr. Yang's mother has passed away.
Don't tell him yet.
Mr. Yang.
Director.
What's wrong?
Well,
Mr. Yang,
there was a call from your home.
Mom!
Mom!
I failed you, Mom.
Mom... I didn't get to see you one last time.
Lad.
Young lad.
Your mother wouldn't blame you.
She'd surely be proud of her son.
Do you hear me?
Good lad.
My heart aches...
Zhou.
Zhou.
Take him to the station.
Just use the unit car.
After the first seven days of mourning...
Yang, once that's over,
finish your family matters and then come back.
Sisters,
our workshop's night school officially starts today.
The leadership has appointed Ms. Yi
as our teacher.
She'll teach us reading, writing, and cultural courses.
Everyone, let's give her a warm welcome.
Before we begin the class,
let's first share our own stories.
Let's talk about our lives
before and after Liberation.
Who wants to go first?
-Me! -Me!
I didn't expect you all to be this enthusiastic.
Then let's have Qiu speak on our behalf
and share with everyone.
That way Ms. Yi can get to know everyone better.
Come on.
Well,
when I was 10 years old,
my parents starved to death.
After that, my uncle sold me to an opera troupe.
He used the money from selling me to pay for my parents' burial.
At the troupe, I worked every day
yet still got beaten.
I didn't learn anything useful.
Later,
the troupe leader sold me again
to a wealthy old lady as a maid.
The old lady beat me,
pinched me, and yanked my hair every day.
I was covered in bruises.
If it weren't for the Communist Party,
I would've died 100 times.
Xiurong,
only in the new society
did I finally feel like a human being.
I love working here.
I love my sisters.
I love Xiurong.
I love Ms. Yi, too.
Qiu,
don't be sad.
Those bitter days are over!
Right, sisters?
-Yes. -That's right.
Now let's have Ms. Yi begin the class.
Come here.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Today I'll talk about tie-dye craftsmanship.
Your voice is too low! We can't hear you.
Ms. Yi, please speak up.
That's right!
Tie-dye craftsmanship
is part of our traditional hand-dyeing techniques.
It can be traced back as early
as the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Later, people began applying this technique.
Minister Wen?
What brings you here?
Welcome, welcome.
I heard
Ms. Yi would be teaching today,
so I came to take a look.
Well,
how's the class going?
Ms. Yi,
you're not nervous, are you?
I remember back in Yan'an,
the first time I gave a speech,
facing that sea of people,
I was nervous too.
It'll get better gradually.
Minister Wen, since you're already here,
why don't you say a few words too?
No, this is a classroom,
not a meeting room.
You should be listening
to Ms. Yi, not me.
Please, say a few words.
We want to learn cultural courses,
and we also want to hear from you.
Alright, I'll just say a few words.
The old society turned people into ghosts,
and the new society turned ghosts back into people.
Without the Communist Party,
there would be no new China.
Sisters,
fellow workers,
one day I hope
I can call you all
comrades.
Bravo!
I want to ask a question.
What did we fight for
and shed blood for?
It was to build a new world.
In this new world,
there will be no oppression.
All the oppressed
will rise up and become their own masters.
Everyone will no longer live in poverty.
In this new world,
every person
will have the dignity they were born with.
This is the goal we're fighting for.
Thank you, everyone.
Alright.
Ms. Yi,
please begin your class.
Who is it?
Ms. Yi.
Ms. Yi.
Nanny Zhang.
I finished it,
but forgot to bring it to you.
This dress is so well made.
You finished it so quickly.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ms. Yi,
are you going to be a great writer now?
I found a job.
I'm teaching night classes at a workshop.
I'm preparing lessons.
By the way, Ms. Yi,
I actually came here today
to discuss a business plan with you.
Look,
this dress is so well made.
It would surely sell well on the market.
Why don't you make clothes at home,
and I'll go find sales channels for you?
We could make money together.
Wouldn't it be great to share the profit?
I don't have time. I need to prepare my class.
Well then,
how about you take 70%, and I take 30%?
Take care. I won't walk you out then.
If you're not interested,
I'll find someone else to partner with.
Today, I want to talk about
the history of women's clothing in China.
I'll skip the distant caveman era.
They probably just wore animal skins.
Let's start with the Qin Dynasty.
Does anyone here know about the Qin Dynasty?
What about the story of Lady Meng Jiang weeping down the Great Wall?
-Yes. -Yes.
Lady Meng Jiang lived during the Qin Dynasty.
Their clothing back then
should've looked like this.
The fabric at that time
was similar to
what rural people still weave today.
Back in the Qin and Han periods, black was considered noble.
It's very different from the situation today,
where red and yellow are favored.
Zhou,
did you know?
Yang actually grew up in the countryside.
His mother
was just an ordinary peasant woman.
Their life back then was extremely hard,
and they were literally living hand to mouth.
Later,
his father passed away.
So basically,
his widowed mother raised him by herself.
They went through so much suffering.
Then the Communist Party came.
They overthrew the landlords and distributed land to the peasants.
From then on, they lived a better life.
And then, what happened?
Well, he joined the army, right?
After he joined the army, he took up his post.
Just look at him—
he has always been working hard and always striving to improve.
No wonder Mr. Yang was
so focused and dedicated in his work.
Speak of the devil!
Who is it?
Director.
Mr. Yang's back.
He's back?
Comrade Zhou.
He's back.
Director.
I'm back.
How's everything?
Why did you rush back?
Did you finish everything at home?
Yes, it's all taken care of.
I want to get back to work.
No need to rush back to work.
Right now, the city's
focusing on rectifying neighborhood affairs.
It might involve quite a few business people.
And the city also requires us to cooperate
with Neighborhood Working Committee
under the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
This job suits you.
Later, show him
the Neighborhood Committee files.
Sure.
You’ll be in charge of this neighborhood rectification.
I guarantee I'll complete the mission.
Good.
Mr. Yang,
are you really ready to work now?
Comrade Zhou,
bring me the files.
Right away.
Please.
I miss this place so much!
Are you sure you're alright?
Mr. Yang, you came to work so early!
I didn't sleep last night.
Surprised?
Have you had breakfast?
Not yet.
I've got a cucumber here.
Thanks.
You can have it.
I was just getting hungry.
Go ahead and eat.
Have you had breakfast?
I haven't eaten yet.
It's fine. Go ahead and eat.
Let's eat together.
Thanks.
Do you only have a cucumber for breakfast?
No. I had corn yesterday.
The neighborhood
submitted some materials,
saying that someone's disrupting the market.
You came at the right time. Let's go together.
Let's bring that person in.
Right now?
Yes.
Let's go now.
Let's go.
Mr. Yang, wait a moment.
Hold on, Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang, just a second.
What's going on?
I forgot something.
Alright, let's go.
I thought it was corn.
[Xiangyangli Residents' Committee]
Mr. Yang, Comrade Zhou.
Please have a seat.
No need. Let's discuss work first.
Last night,
I reviewed the report you submitted.
In your report, you mentioned that,
lately, there have been Yiguandao activities in this area.
Yes,
I've reported the specifics.
Yiguandao's leader is using small favors
to recruit members and expand the network.
From what I can tell,
many people
have infiltrated the residents' committee.
Our committee was just established
and has appointed many people from various backgrounds.
Their backgrounds are complex,
and they're highly adaptable.
We need to target these people,
and crack down on them.
Understood.
Comrade Zhou,
please take notes.
Zhou.
Mr. Yang, you're still here.
Why are you here this late?
I thought you were still working overtime.
I was worried you'd be hungry, so I brought you some food.
You brought me food?
Let me see.
I'll do it.
It's fine.
Let me do it.
Don't rush.
Please eat while it's hot.
Let me see.
Chopsticks.
Zhou.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Hurry and eat.
I'll eat then.
Try the dish.
Mr. Yang,
I also brought you this.
It's still hot.
Corn?
You actually still remember what I said this morning?
Go ahead and eat.
Your health is important.
You need to take care of yourself.
I'll dig in then.
Go ahead and eat.
It's sweet.
[Interrogation Record]
What's wrong?
Is it good?
It's delicious.
Please, have some more.
Are you hungry? Let's eat together.
No,
I've already eaten, really.
Then I'll eat it all.
It's really good.
Qing.
Are you taking private jobs?
What do you mean?
Answer me! Are you taking private jobs?
Mr. Yang said you're involved in
capitalist exploitation,
said you're a capitalist.
He's already sent people to arrest you.
Quickly, go!
Hurry, just go!
Where am I going? I'm not leaving.
Are you crazy?
You need to leave Shanghai!
I'm telling you,
if you get caught this time,
it won't be as easy to get away with as last time.
Pack your things.
Take whatever you need!
Hurry up!
Qing,
you need to leave now.
They might show up and run into you later.
Hurry and leave.
According to the confession
of Yiguandao's leader Zhang Guihua,
you colluded with her
in running an underground business,
disrupting the market,
and making huge profits.
With approval from higher authorities,
we are authorized to search your place.
Search!
Yes, sir.
Mr. Yang,
could you have these two gentlemen leave?
You two, get out.
Yes, sir.
You two.
Come in.
Are you satisfied now?
Search.
This one.
Don't move!
You go ahead.
Check what this is.
You, stay put!
What is it?
It's a sewing machine.
No wonder you wouldn't get up.
Come here.
Take her away.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Are you nervous?
Take a deep breath and relax.
Just answer what you're asked.
Why would I be nervous?
Isn't this exactly what being nervous looks like?
It's so typical.
Where did you get the sewing machine?
Did you steal it?
Did your family lose a sewing machine?
Just ask what you want to ask directly!
When did you meet
Zhang Guihua?
When I moved here; Comrade Su introduced us.
What did I just say?
Just answer
what you're asked.
Why did you bring up irrelevant people?
What do you mean by irrelevant people?
My personnel file is still at the factory.
Comrade Su is my leader.
Does she sound irrelevant to you?
You recognize it, don't you?
Take a good look at it yourself.
This is
a sample dress you made for Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua took it to sell on the market.
You disrupted the market
and made huge profits.
What do you mean?
Yes, I made this dress.
I gave it to her as a gift.
Why did you give her a gift?
What was your intention?
She asked me to make this dress!
Yes,
I wanted to keep good relations with my neighbors.
Is that not allowed?
You wanted to keep good relations with neighbors?
Is Zhang Guihua here?
Bring Zhang Guihua in.
-Where's Zhang Guihua? -Zhang Guihua.
Coming! Coming!
Excuse me, guys, please make way.
Oh my.
Mr. Yang.
Take a look at her. Do you know her?
She's an old friend of yours, isn't she?
Come on.
Repeat what
you just told me,
so she knows exactly
what deal you had with her.
Say it.
Mr. Yang, well,
let me explain this for you.
Actually,
I didn't want to help her at first.
She asked me to sell that dress for her.
I felt soft-hearted and agreed.
I didn't make any money from it.
What are you talking about, Nanny Zhang?
How could you make up such lies?
When did I ever ask you to sell this dress?
I made this dress,
because you asked me to make it for you!
You...
You need to show evidence when you say something like that.
What evidence?
How can you say such nonsense?
Who's talking nonsense?
She is!
Listen to me.
Although Zhang Guihua
made mistakes before,
she's still trustworthy.
The comrades can vouch for her, right?
How can you prove she's telling the truth?
Then how can I prove you're telling the truth?
You just said
she's a leader of Yiguandao.
Then... what about you?
What's your position?
I'm asking you—
do you have anyone backing you?
Explain it clearly to everyone.
If you say I have someone backing me,
then the organization is my backing.
I put my trust in the organization!
Minister Wen once said
the organization wouldn't let a bad person go
and would never wrong a good person.
But Minister Wen doesn't represent
the organization and the government.
Then tell me,
is what Minister Wen said
right or wrong?
Excuse me.
Make way, please.
You...
Mr. Yang.
Did you all hear that?
This woman
has committed illegal acts,
but refuses to admit them.
She's from your unit,
isn't she?
Her personnel file is at your unit, isn't it?
You must take full responsibility!
Your unit must be held accountable.
Come. Stand here.
We'll continue the investigation,
until we get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Guihua confessed that
you made a business plan with her.
You were responsible for designing and making clothes,
while she sold them on the black market.
She also said all the ideas were yours,
and that she only agreed reluctantly
after you persuaded her.
Is what she said true?
I was thinking,
since you didn't have a job
or income before,
making some clothes to get by
is something we can understand.
But...
when it comes to
making a business plan...
that's absolutely unacceptable!
I didn't make any business plans.
Before the case is clarified,
your classes will be suspended.
If you have any difficulties in life,
Ms. Yi,
you can ask the organization for help.
I have no difficulties.
This place is just unbearably hot!
I told you,
I have several vacant villas
that you can move in anytime,
but you insist on staying here.
It's stuffy and hot.
You know I sweat easily.
I just changed into this new outfit, by the way.
If you have something to say, just say it.
Today,
I went to the working committee to ask about your case.
The person in charge said
this rectification campaign
has dealt with a large number of bad elements.
That Zhang Guihua from your neighborhood
has already been sent back to her hometown
to undergo reform under local government supervision.
She also mentioned your case,
said it's quite complicated.
They plan to send people to your mother's home in Chongqing
to investigate your family background.
Got it.
And Minister Wen...
at such a critical moment,
he went on a business trip!
You also think Minister Wen cares about me as an individual?
I thought he sympathized with you.
Minister Wen is a leader.
He cares about the fate of
intellectuals as a collective.
If he were truly just
sympathizing with me as an individual,
that would make me truly hopeless.
Yi, listen to me.
We should leave Shanghai.
First, let's avoid people like Yang Xue'an.
Let's go back to Chongqing. I have friends there
who can set you up with a decent job.
You know me.
Alright then.
Since you’ve decided not to leave Shanghai,
if you need any help,
come to me anytime.
Sis.
Sis.
Sis.
Sis!
Zhaoyuan...
is not a KMT member!
Where is he?
That's good news.
Sis.
Zhaoyuan
joined the Communist Party
while he was in the KMT army during the war.
He's not a KMT member!
He's an underground Communist.
Ms. Yi Yi.
After a thorough
and careful investigation,
the organization has confirmed that your husband, Comrade Zhou Zhaoyuan,
was a loyal member of our Party.
Is he still alive?
He was betrayed by a traitor before the liberation.
Comrade Zhou Zhaoyuan
was killed by the reactionary government. He died heroically.
His glory and his legacy
have been passed on to you.
You must be strong.
You must carry on his spirit.

I didn't expect you all to be this enthusiastic.
Then let's have Qiu speak on our behalf
and share with everyone.
That way Ms. Yi can get to know everyone better.
Come on.
Well,
when I was 10 years old,
my parents starved to death.
After that, my uncle sold me to an opera troupe.
He used the money from selling me to pay for my parents' burial.
At the troupe, I worked every day
yet still got beaten.
I didn't learn anything useful.
Later,
the troupe leader sold me again
to a wealthy old lady as a maid.
The old lady beat me,
pinched me, and yanked my hair every day.
I was covered in bruises.
If it weren't for the Communist Party,
I would've died 100 times.
Xiurong,
only in the new society
did I finally feel like a human being.
I love working here.
I love my sisters.
I love Xiurong.
I love Ms. Yi, too.
Qiu,
don't be sad.
Those bitter days are over!
Right, sisters?
-Yes. -That's right.
Now let's have Ms. Yi begin the class.
Come here.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Today I'll talk about tie-dye craftsmanship.
Your voice is too low! We can't hear you.
Ms. Yi, please speak up.
That's right!
Tie-dye craftsmanship
is part of our traditional hand-dyeing techniques.
It can be traced back as early
as the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Later, people began applying this technique.
Minister Wen?
What brings you here?
Welcome, welcome.
I heard
Ms. Yi would be teaching today,
so I came to take a look.
Well,
how's the class going?
Ms. Yi,
you're not nervous, are you?
I remember back in Yan'an,
the first time I gave a speech,
facing that sea of people,
I was nervous too.
It'll get better gradually.
Minister Wen, since you're already here,
why don't you say a few words too?
No, this is a classroom,
not a meeting room.
You should be listening
to Ms. Yi, not me.
Please, say a few words.
We want to learn cultural courses,
and we also want to hear from you.
Alright, I'll just say a few words.
The old society turned people into ghosts,
and the new society turned ghosts back into people.
Without the Communist Party,
there would be no new China.
Sisters,
fellow workers,
one day I hope
I can call you all
comrades.
Bravo!
I want to ask a question.
What did we fight for
and shed blood for?
It was to build a new world.
In this new world,
there will be no oppression.
All the oppressed
will rise up and become their own masters.
Everyone will no longer live in poverty.
In this new world,
every person
will have the dignity they were born with.
This is the goal we're fighting for.
Thank you, everyone.
Alright.
Ms. Yi,
please begin your class.
Who is it?
Ms. Yi.
Ms. Yi.
Nanny Zhang.
I finished it,
but forgot to bring it to you.
This dress is so well made.
You finished it so quickly.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ms. Yi,
are you going to be a great writer now?
I found a job.
I'm teaching night classes at a workshop.
I'm preparing lessons.
By the way, Ms. Yi,
I actually came here today
to discuss a business plan with you.
Look,
this dress is so well made.
It would surely sell well on the market.
Why don't you make clothes at home,
and I'll go find sales channels for you?
We could make money together.
Wouldn't it be great to share the profit?
I don't have time. I need to prepare my class.
Well then,
how about you take 70%, and I take 30%?
Take care. I won't walk you out then.
If you're not interested,
I'll find someone else to partner with.
Today, I want to talk about
the history of women's clothing in China.
I'll skip the distant caveman era.
They probably just wore animal skins.
Let's start with the Qin Dynasty.
Does anyone here know about the Qin Dynasty?
What about the story of Lady Meng Jiang weeping down the Great Wall?
-Yes. -Yes.
Lady Meng Jiang lived during the Qin Dynasty.
Their clothing back then
should've looked like this.
The fabric at that time
was similar to
what rural people still weave today.
Back in the Qin and Han periods, black was considered noble.
It's very different from the situation today,
where red and yellow are favored.
Zhou,
did you know?
Yang actually grew up in the countryside.
His mother
was just an ordinary peasant woman.
Their life back then was extremely hard,
and they were literally living hand to mouth.
Later,
his father passed away.
So basically,
his widowed mother raised him by herself.
They went through so much suffering.
Then the Communist Party came.
They overthrew the landlords and distributed land to the peasants.
From then on, they lived a better life.
And then, what happened?
Well, he joined the army, right?
After he joined the army, he took up his post.
Just look at him—
he has always been working hard and always striving to improve.
No wonder Mr. Yang was
so focused and dedicated in his work.
Speak of the devil!
Who is it?
Director.
Mr. Yang's back.
He's back?
Comrade Zhou.
He's back.
Director.
I'm back.
How's everything?
Why did you rush back?
Did you finish everything at home?
Yes, it's all taken care of.
I want to get back to work.
No need to rush back to work.
Right now, the city's
focusing on rectifying neighborhood affairs.
It might involve quite a few business people.
And the city also requires us to cooperate
with Neighborhood Working Committee
under the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
This job suits you.
Later, show him
the Neighborhood Committee files.
Sure.
You’ll be in charge of this neighborhood rectification.
I guarantee I'll complete the mission.
Good.
Mr. Yang,
are you really ready to work now?
Comrade Zhou,
bring me the files.
Right away.
Please.
I miss this place so much!
Are you sure you're alright?
Mr. Yang, you came to work so early!
I didn't sleep last night.
Surprised?
Have you had breakfast?
Not yet.
I've got a cucumber here.
Thanks.
You can have it.
I was just getting hungry.
Go ahead and eat.
Have you had breakfast?
I haven't eaten yet.
It's fine. Go ahead and eat.
Let's eat together.
Thanks.
Do you only have a cucumber for breakfast?
No. I had corn yesterday.
The neighborhood
submitted some materials,
saying that someone's disrupting the market.
You came at the right time. Let's go together.
Let's bring that person in.
Right now?
Yes.
Let's go now.
Let's go.
Mr. Yang, wait a moment.
Hold on, Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang, just a second.
What's going on?
I forgot something.
Alright, let's go.
I thought it was corn.
[Xiangyangli Residents' Committee]
Mr. Yang, Comrade Zhou.
Please have a seat.
No need. Let's discuss work first.
Last night,
I reviewed the report you submitted.
In your report, you mentioned that,
lately, there have been Yiguandao activities in this area.
Yes,
I've reported the specifics.
Yiguandao's leader is using small favors
to recruit members and expand the network.
From what I can tell,
many people
have infiltrated the residents' committee.
Our committee was just established
and has appointed many people from various backgrounds.
Their backgrounds are complex,
and they're highly adaptable.
We need to target these people,
and crack down on them.
Understood.
Comrade Zhou,
please take notes.
Zhou.
Mr. Yang, you're still here.
Why are you here this late?
I thought you were still working overtime.
I was worried you'd be hungry, so I brought you some food.
You brought me food?
Let me see.
I'll do it.
It's fine.
Let me do it.
Don't rush.
Please eat while it's hot.
Let me see.
Chopsticks.
Zhou.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Hurry and eat.
I'll eat then.
Try the dish.
Mr. Yang,
I also brought you this.
It's still hot.
Corn?
You actually still remember what I said this morning?
Go ahead and eat.
Your health is important.
You need to take care of yourself.
I'll dig in then.
Go ahead and eat.
It's sweet.
[Interrogation Record]
What's wrong?
Is it good?
It's delicious.
Please, have some more.
Are you hungry? Let's eat together.
No,
I've already eaten, really.
Then I'll eat it all.
It's really good.
Qing.
Are you taking private jobs?
What do you mean?
Answer me! Are you taking private jobs?
Mr. Yang said you're involved in
capitalist exploitation,
said you're a capitalist.
He's already sent people to arrest you.
Quickly, go!
Hurry, just go!
Where am I going? I'm not leaving.
Are you crazy?
You need to leave Shanghai!
I'm telling you,
if you get caught this time,
it won't be as easy to get away with as last time.
Pack your things.
Take whatever you need!
Hurry up!
Qing,
you need to leave now.
They might show up and run into you later.
Hurry and leave.
According to the confession
of Yiguandao's leader Zhang Guihua,
you colluded with her
in running an underground business,
disrupting the market,
and making huge profits.
With approval from higher authorities,
we are authorized to search your place.
Search!
Yes, sir.
Mr. Yang,
could you have these two gentlemen leave?
You two, get out.
Yes, sir.
You two.
Come in.
Are you satisfied now?
Search.
This one.
Don't move!
You go ahead.
Check what this is.
You, stay put!
What is it?
It's a sewing machine.
No wonder you wouldn't get up.
Come here.
Take her away.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Are you nervous?
Take a deep breath and relax.
Just answer what you're asked.
Why would I be nervous?
Isn't this exactly what being nervous looks like?
It's so typical.
Where did you get the sewing machine?
Did you steal it?
Did your family lose a sewing machine?
Just ask what you want to ask directly!
When did you meet
Zhang Guihua?
When I moved here; Comrade Su introduced us.
What did I just say?
Just answer
what you're asked.
Why did you bring up irrelevant people?
What do you mean by irrelevant people?
My personnel file is still at the factory.
Comrade Su is my leader.
Does she sound irrelevant to you?
You recognize it, don't you?
Take a good look at it yourself.
This is
a sample dress you made for Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua took it to sell on the market.
You disrupted the market
and made huge profits.
What do you mean?
Yes, I made this dress.
I gave it to her as a gift.
Why did you give her a gift?
What was your intention?
She asked me to make this dress!
Yes,
I wanted to keep good relations with my neighbors.
Is that not allowed?
You wanted to keep good relations with neighbors?
Is Zhang Guihua here?
Bring Zhang Guihua in.
-Where's Zhang Guihua? -Zhang Guihua.
Coming! Coming!
Excuse me, guys, please make way.
Oh my.
Mr. Yang.
Take a look at her. Do you know her?
She's an old friend of yours, isn't she?
Come on.
Repeat what
you just told me,
so she knows exactly
what deal you had with her.
Say it.
Mr. Yang, well,
let me explain this for you.
Actually,
I didn't want to help her at first.
She asked me to sell that dress for her.
I felt soft-hearted and agreed.
I didn't make any money from it.
What are you talking about, Nanny Zhang?
How could you make up such lies?
When did I ever ask you to sell this dress?
I made this dress,
because you asked me to make it for you!
You...
You need to show evidence when you say something like that.
What evidence?
How can you say such nonsense?
Who's talking nonsense?
She is!
Listen to me.
Although Zhang Guihua
made mistakes before,
she's still trustworthy.
The comrades can vouch for her, right?
How can you prove she's telling the truth?
Then how can I prove you're telling the truth?
You just said
she's a leader of Yiguandao.
Then... what about you?
What's your position?
I'm asking you—
do you have anyone backing you?
Explain it clearly to everyone.
If you say I have someone backing me,
then the organization is my backing.
I put my trust in the organization!
Minister Wen once said
the organization wouldn't let a bad person go
and would never wrong a good person.
But Minister Wen doesn't represent
the organization and the government.
Then tell me,
is what Minister Wen said
right or wrong?
Excuse me.
Make way, please.
You...
Mr. Yang.
Did you all hear that?
This woman
has committed illegal acts,
but refuses to admit them.
She's from your unit,
isn't she?
Her personnel file is at your unit, isn't it?
You must take full responsibility!
Your unit must be held accountable.
Come. Stand here.
We'll continue the investigation,
until we get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Guihua confessed that
you made a business plan with her.
You were responsible for designing and making clothes,
while she sold them on the black market.
She also said all the ideas were yours,
and that she only agreed reluctantly
after you persuaded her.
Is what she said true?
I was thinking,
since you didn't have a job
or income before,
making some clothes to get by
is something we can understand.
But...
when it comes to
making a business plan...
that's absolutely unacceptable!
I didn't make any business plans.
Before the case is clarified,
your classes will be suspended.
If you have any difficulties in life,
Ms. Yi,
you can ask the organization for help.
I have no difficulties.
This place is just unbearably hot!
I told you,
I have several vacant villas
that you can move in anytime,
but you insist on staying here.
It's stuffy and hot.
You know I sweat easily.
I just changed into this new outfit, by the way.
If you have something to say, just say it.
Today,
I went to the working committee to ask about your case.
The person in charge said
this rectification campaign
has dealt with a large number of bad elements.
That Zhang Guihua from your neighborhood
has already been sent back to her hometown
to undergo reform under local government supervision.
She also mentioned your case,
said it's quite complicated.
They plan to send people to your mother's home in Chongqing
to investigate your family background.
Got it.
And Minister Wen...
at such a critical moment,
he went on a business trip!
You also think Minister Wen cares about me as an individual?
I thought he sympathized with you.
Minister Wen is a leader.
He cares about the fate of
intellectuals as a collective.
If he were truly just
sympathizing with me as an individual,
that would make me truly hopeless.
Yi, listen to me.
We should leave Shanghai.
First, let's avoid people like Yang Xue'an.
Let's go back to Chongqing. I have friends there
who can set you up with a decent job.
You know me.
Alright then.
Since you’ve decided not to leave Shanghai,
if you need any help,
come to me anytime.
Sis.
Sis.
Sis.
Sis!
Zhaoyuan...
is not a KMT member!
Where is he?
That's good news.
Sis.
Zhaoyuan
joined the Communist Party
while he was in the KMT army during the war.
He's not a KMT member!
He's an underground Communist.
Ms. Yi Yi.
After a thorough
and careful investigation,
the organization has confirmed that your husband, Comrade Zhou Zhaoyuan,
was a loyal member of our Party.
Is he still alive?
He was betrayed by a traitor before the liberation.
Comrade Zhou Zhaoyuan
was killed by the reactionary government. He died heroically.
His glory and his legacy
have been passed on to you.
You must be strong.
You must carry on his spirit.
