How to pronounce "产院"

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 6]

You okay?

What are you trying to do?

What do you think?

I've already taken care of everything.

You'd better not do anything now.

You've taken care of it?

How?

By bowing and scraping

with that fake smile?

I have my own methods.

I don't have time to explain to you now.

I have my methods too.

Don't get in my way.

Cheng Ao.

Everything comes to him who waits.

If you go after Dong now,

break his arm and cripple his leg,

you might feel it's resolved.

But will Siyun's hospital be able to open?

We'll need Dong's help in the future.

He's not the only

powerful one in Shanghai.

There are plenty of ways and people

who can help Siyun open her hospital.

Like who?

You or me?

It isn't that jerk anyway.

Let's stop arguing.

Nothing serious happened, right?

I promise if there's a next time,

I'll deal with him together with you.

It's quite lively down there.

Yes, it is.

Miss Lin.

Mrs. Shen, I'll be going now.

Alright.

Mrs. Shen.

Where did you go just now?

Aunt Nan.

Siyun just went to see under-secretary Dong.

Dong is too bold.

He tried to take advantage of Siyun.

Who introduced under-secretary Dong to Miss Lin?

I think it was me.

Miss Lin.

I understand your original intention for opening a maternity hospital.

And I know how important

this hospital is to you.

As long as it can be opened smoothly,

no matter how difficult it gets,

I'm not afraid.

It's hard for a woman to get things done.

But no matter how difficult, I'll still do it.

Otherwise, why would I have studied abroad in the West?

I must open

the hospital.

I'll go with you

to meet those businessmen later.

You two men.

You can't even protect a girl.

Don't worry.

I won't let this happen again.

It's fine now.

It's about time.

I'll go down with you.

What?

Trying to comfort me?

No need.

If under-secretary Dong had stayed any longer,

he definitely would've regretted it.

Yingying.

Are you sure about Mr. Cheng's feelings for you?

♪ Hurry, let's all dance the rumba ♪

What do you mean?

I just saw Mr. Cheng was

very attentive to Miss Lin.

You can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone.

You'd better make sure.

What kind of person could possibly be

better than my daughter?

Cheng Ao.

Do you have feelings for Lin Siyun?

I just don't like you.

So you're saying Lin Siyun is better than me?

She is indeed excellent.

Something's wrong. Director Shen.

There's a dead man in the restroom,

covered in blood.

Who's dead?

Close all the exits.

Notify the police station.

Check every vehicle passing nearby.

Alright, let's talk another day.

Sure.

Who would dare take such a huge risk to kill him?

I bet it's the Eliminate Spies Squad of the Communist Party.

What do you think?

Not interested.

Let's go, Siyun.

I need to stay and handle other matters.

Make sure you get Siyun home safely.

As long as she stays away from you,

she'll be safe.

Let's go.

You only know how to take advantage of others.

Tell me how you found the body just now.

At first I was cleaning near the restroom.

Suddenly,

I heard a yowl.

So I followed the sound,

and saw that person

already lying on the floor.

Did anyone

pass by here before that?

I...

don't remember.

Think again.

I remember now.

A man in a western-style servant's uniform

walked out of the restroom around that time.

What happened tonight

is our Shen family's fault.

Please, everyone, go home first.

Tomorrow my wife and I will personally call on you to apologize.

We're truly sorry for this.

Director Shen.

Distinguished guests.

You don't need to investigate further.

I'll see you out.

No need.

We can't let our matters

interfere with your duties.

The investigation must continue.

Mr. Zeng, thanks.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

All right.

Thank you.

This certificate was issued just the day before yesterday.

Orders just came down from above

that anyone with certificates issued within the past 7 days

must be taken to the station for questioning.

Take him away!

Yes, sir.

Wait, bro.

Just a moment, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

This gentleman came with me.

He's Mr. Zeng's friend.

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

I'm Mr. Zeng's adopted son,

Cheng Ao.

Sorry,

but we have strict orders

to thoroughly check everyone.

Bro.

This gentleman is

a friend of my son.

He and my son

may leave with me, right?

Of course, Mr. Zeng.

Please.

Thank you.

She's my fourth concubine.

Pleased to meet you.

Cheng Ao.

Come to my place

tomorrow.

Yes.

Thank you for today.

The checks are strict lately.

Take care.

I will.

Take care.

Let's go.

My fourth concubine.

Wait.

The car is over there.

You're worried about him.

Who is Mr. Gu exactly?

Why would the police want him?

What I mean is,

if you ever

see Mr. Gu again,

you need to be careful too.

Got it.

Why are you looking at me? You're driving.

Watch the road.

I've already stamped all the relevant documents.

Take a look.

[Shanghai Property Ownership Certificate]

My property here is in a prime location.

It's perfect for

a restaurant or a café.

What about opening a hospital?

A hospital?

I'm not planning to open a restaurant for Yingying anymore.

I'm thinking of using this property

to invest in a maternity hospital

and hire you as the director.

What do you think?

Are you serious?

Of course I am.

Well,

won't Miss Yingying be upset?

Yingying is just a child.

She plays all day.

How could she run a business?

Even if I opened a restaurant for her,

she'd only come with her friends,

eating and drinking all day without making any profit.

A hospital is different.

I've already had experts evaluate it

and calculate the prospects.

I'll do my best.

I'll work hard to run this hospital well.

Alright, don't get emotional.

Let's be clear about this.

I won't interfere with how you run it,

but it must be profitable.

Good luck.

Thank you, Mrs. Shen.

Don't call me Mrs. Shen anymore.

Just call me Aunt Nan.

Thank you, Aunt Nan.

Stop it.

[Virtue Nurtures Talent]

How did you get to know

that man He Yaozu

from yesterday?

What's your relationship?

I met him in the shantytown last time.

He's their spokesperson.

I sat with him inside for a while

and found he's quite knowledgeable.

But his awareness and knowledge

don't really match his circumstances.

So I was curious about him.

That's all.

You helped him just because of that?

What was going on yesterday?

He's clearly a Communist.

Dad, I don't know what party he belongs to.

I just enjoy talking with him.

I don't want to interfere with you.

You're a smart man.

If you want to achieve great things and take charge of this family,

you can't be soft-hearted,

do you understand?

You haven't experienced

the Kuomintang purge of 1927.

Chiang Kai-shek claimed

he'd rather kill a thousand by mistake

than let one Communist escape.

Many young people were killed just like that.

Some of them didn't even know

what Communism was.

They just followed the crowd in protests

and died

for nothing.

If you can't avoid it,

show respect from a distance,

and keep your distance with respect.

This is politics,

something we can't afford to mess with.

Ao.

I can't allow anything to happen to you.

Understand?

Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere?

What did you say?

I said I understand, Dad.

Ao.

This is my younger brother, Xiaoshan.

Sit down.

Ao.

He came to Shanghai to attend military school,

then enlisted.

Look at what he's wearing.

The cap has two buttons.

Ao, help me.

Talk to him.

Without a country, there's no home.

The Japanese have occupied Manchuria,

and now they want North China.

No Chinese can tolerate this.

If all Chinese were like you,

our country would surely perish.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm your brother.

How dare you speak to me like this?

I raised you all these years.

-So -Cheng.

I'm wrong now?

Cheng!

Xiaoshan.

Your brother often talks about you.

I think there's nothing wrong with defending our country.

Why shouldn't he go?

No, Ao.

It's not that he can't go.

But shouldn't I go first?

I'm the eldest, like his father.

He's so young, what could he possibly understand?

You only know how to fight.

Can you shoot?

Do you understand anything about military affairs?

I can't shoot? Then what's this?

What is this?

Speak up, what is this?

Cheng!

Xiaoshan.

You should go.

I support you.

But you must study hard when you get there.

If you don't do well, you'll end up like your brother,

working for me.

What a shame that would be.

No, Ao.

Ao, am I not doing a good job?

Put your gun away.

No.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Get out.

Father,

from today onwards,

the Lin residence has become the Sinan Maternity Hospital.

In the past, all the Lin family children

were born here.

From now on,

I will be here

welcoming more new lives into the world.

[Sinan Maternity Hospital]

The sheets, duvet covers, and towels in the delivery room

must be disinfected regularly.

This area must be kept clean at all times.

Also, pay attention to the mothers' emotions.

You must be patient.

Don't let them feel anxious

or upset.

Help them maintain a pleasant mood

as they welcome their babies here.

Liu,

remember to open the windows and curtains

every day when you come in.

So the delivery room gets proper ventilation and fresh air.

Okay.

Read the handbook

I've given you all carefully.

Dr. Lin,

men aren't allowed in here.

Director Lin.

I'll step outside for a moment.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see

the famous

Sinan Maternity Hospital.

Girls, take some time to get familiar with the place.

No men allowed.

Isn't this place not officially open yet?

What's wrong?

What are you thinking about?

This used to be the kitchen, right?

The first time I came here,

someone walked from the living room to here,

grabbed a kitchen knife and went upstairs to attack me.

So fierce.

You guys drove me to it.

Pretty good.

You've gone from a kitchen knife to a scalpel.

By the way,

I bought flower stands.

When you officially open,

I'll have Cheng bring them over.

Also,

if you need,

I can be your legal advisor.

My hospital isn't even open yet,

not making any profit,

I can't afford to pay you.

Who said anything about money?

Aunt Nan and I are both your benefactors.

Hello?

Hello,

I'm looking for Ao.

Cheng Ao,

phone for you.

For me?

Yes.

Hello?

Hey, bro,

so you are there after all.

I couldn't find you,

so I called Miss Lin's place.

How did you get this number?

I...

I got it

when we were collecting debts from her family.

You haven't changed your number?

I will soon.

What's the matter?

Bro,

my brother Xiaoshan is in trouble.

Can you help me out?

I don't deserve such praise.

I should serve the party and country

even at the cost of my life.

Understood.

I'll arrange it right away,

and will definitely give you an answer tomorrow.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Do me a favor.

Have a seat and tell me.

I have a young relative

who joined a training camp

organized by the Shanghai military,

and was suddenly arrested

on charges of collaborating with Communists.

What did he do?

During training,

an instructor was preaching that

we must first eliminate internal threats before fighting external ones,

and to win the war,

a soldier's primary duty

is to eliminate the Communist Party,

and only secondarily

to resist Japanese invasion.

The kid didn't understand and asked

why wiping out the Communists was considered

the first priority over resisting Japan.

Just that one question,

and he was arrested.

Wasn't the kid right?

Isn't this what all Chinese people feel?

How could they charge him with being a Communist sympathizer?

If you put it that way,

then millions of Chinese people

would all be Communists.

Bro, stop right there.

Don't let anyone hear you.

You don't need to explain these principles to me,

regarding the Chairman's strategy,

in my position,

I can't express any opinions.

Just tell me directly

what you need me to do.

I've made inquiries.

The kid is still being held at the military school,

about to be transferred to the Military Police.

Once he's transferred to the Military Police,

his chances are slim.

You have many connections.

Help me get him out.

Good heavens,

this is such a serious matter!

I don't have that kind of power.

The training camp address

and instructor's name are here. Hurry.

Well...

What else are you taking out?

Cheng Ao.

You're quite practiced

at this game.

Alright.

I'll help you

with this matter.

Leave the training camp address

and instructor's name

here.

Take your money back.

We're close friends.

Besides,

this isn't something money can solve.

Take it back.

Wait.

For tonight's booze.

Look at you.

You still drink?

Your stomach is already bad.

Give me two more bills

to buy stomach medicine.

Shut up.

I'm leaving.

Wait for my news.

Doctor.

How is my brother doing?

Three broken ribs, ruptured spleen,

and neurological damage.

Bro.

Please help me.

I want to sue them.

Stay with your brother first.

I'll go back to my office for a moment.

Bro.

Xiaoshan's case has gained public attention,

surprisingly many people from all walks of life are supporting him.

Mr. Lu has been working very hard on this.

Xiaoshan is an anti-Japanese youth.

He has the people's support.

Those dark forces can't stop this.

What are you talking about?

Director Shen, you're here in person.

Am I not welcome?

Of course you are.

Hello, Director Shen.

Cheng.

I'll go to the court to get the documents, bro.

So?

How confident are you about this trial?

What's more important about this case

is winning public support.

Wait a minute.

Why are you

so interested in this case?

From what I know about you,

you should be keeping your distance.

The great Attorney Cheng finally asks for my help,

so I should put in some extra effort.

Take a look at this.

Where did you get this?

Never mind where I got it.

This will definitely help you control people's minds.

But Cheng Ao,

this is as far as I can help you with this matter.

The rest is up to you.

Let me warn you.

This isn't nearly as simple as you think.

I've done some research,

and that kid is incredibly brazen.

He can't just be

a simple patriotic youth.

There must be political forces behind him.

Let me give you some advice:

stir things up, let them fight each other,

keep your distance,

and you won't lose no matter who wins.

That's a lot of information.

Shen Yiqun.

Is this guy

your political rival?

Pretty much.

No wonder.

I'm leaving.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Auntie, I'm back.

Yi.

Come on, give it to me.

Auntie, your hospital is doing really well.

I can finally move back home.

Miss Lin,

long time no see.

You are Zhou?

I just came to help Yi move in.

Yi,

I've moved all your stuff in.

If there's nothing else, I'll be going now.

Okay.

Miss Lin, I have matters to attend to at school,

I'll come visit another day.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

Auntie, what are you smiling about?

You tell me.

Alright,

let me show you your room.

Okay.

This room in our house

has been converted into nurses' quarters.

The hospital just opened and isn't making much profit yet.

Once we start earning money,

we'll rent a place outside,

but for now, we'll have to make do.

Okay.

Liu,

which bed is reserved for Yi?

This bed is unoccupied.

It's reserved for Yi.

Thank you.

Auntie, this place is really nice.

Can I invite my classmates over?

You can't go to the treatment areas,

just stay in the dormitory,

and don't disturb others who are resting.

Got it.

You tidy up here. I need to get back to work.

Okay.

Goodbye, Auntie.

My client, Wu Xiaoshan,

for saying just one sentence during training,

was detained and beaten severely,

has not yet recovered enough to leave the hospital,

and cannot appear in court.

I imagine everyone is curious

about what kind of

treasonous statement he made

to suffer such punishment.

During the training session,

the instructor repeatedly emphasized

that to resist foreign aggression,

we must first pacify internal unrest.

First, establish internal stability,

and then

focus on resistance.

Xiaoshan didn't understand,

what's the cause and effect here?

Nonsense!

This student was sent by the Communists

to sabotage us.

He was acting under Communist orders.

He admitted it himself.

Yet you're defending him.

Are you a Communist too?

Before I came today, a government official

told me almost the same thing.

He said Xiaoshan's motives go beyond simple patriotism.

He must have powerful forces behind him,

and he was sent by the Communist Party to subvert patriotic students.

But the truth is,

you're suppressing a genuinely patriotic student.

I'm Wu Xiaoshan's classmate,

from Heilongjiang.

Now I can't return home,

because the Japanese have occupied it.

Our relatives back home have become slaves in a conquered land.

Xiaoshan is not a Communist,

and neither are we.

We just want to defeat the Japanese devils

and liberate the Northeast provinces.

I don't want to be a slave in a conquered country.

I want to go home!

We refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation.

We refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation.

Order in the court!

Your Honor,

I would like to ask the defendant,

are you truly Chinese or not?

Why am I imprisoned

just for expressing my patriotism,

beaten, cursed, and humiliated?

Why do you insist I'm a Communist

when I declare

my resistance against Japan and love for my country?

Let me tell you,

I am not a Communist.

But I do support the Communist Party's

anti-Japanese stance.

That is typical Communist rhetoric.

The school's investigation of you

is entirely based on your communist tendencies.

What has the school done wrong?

You're young and naive,

where did you get these ideas?

Someone must be influencing you.

Wu Xiaoshan has made it very clear

that he supports the Communist Party's resistance against Japan.

What's wrong with supporting resistance against Japan?

Not wanting our beautiful homeland to be taken by enemies,

what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with not wanting our homes trampled upon?

If you insist

that he has powerful forces behind him,

then yes, he does.

You.

You.

You. You. You. You all.

Including me,

we are all part of this force.

This powerful force is 400 million

Chinese compatriots who refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation!

Cheng Ao, I'm heading back to the newspaper.

I'm going to write an article

and try to get it published in the next day or two.

Okay.

Thank you for your hard work.

We're all Chinese.

Today's court hearing was truly impressive.

I'm off.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Ao.

Do you think

we can win this case?

I can't guarantee it.

Why the long face?

Public opinion is already on our side.

Didn't Mr. Lu say

that people are very concerned about this case,

and it's having such a big impact?

So why are you still looking so gloomy?

Xiaoshan.

In fighting this lawsuit,

besides seeking justice for you,

isn't it just as important

to convey to the public

that you patriotic youths stand firmly against Japanese aggression?

I understand, Ao.

I have another thing

I'd like to ask for your help with.

Sure.

My classmates and I

are planning to return to the Northeast

to join the anti-Japanese volunteer army.

No problem,

I'll make the arrangements for you.

Thank you, Ao.

Are you tired today?

What would you like to eat?

Let's go together,

my treat.

I'm hungry too.

Let's eat together.

You idiot,

can't you read the room?

Did Miss Lin invite you to dinner?

She wants to treat Ao to dinner,

and you're just going on about being hungry.

It's fine.

Let's go together then.

Ao said

it's fine,

so let's go together.

So

let's go together.

No thanks, bro.

We're going for noodles.

You go with Miss Lin.

You're not coming?

The three of us can go.

Bro.

I'm not really hungry,

but I need to help Xiaoshan.

How can I let you support him?

Come, bro.

Weren't you going to eat noodles?

I can help him, it's fine.

Miss Lin.

Please, go ahead.

Take it slow.

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 6]

You okay?

What are you trying to do?

What do you think?

I've already taken care of everything.

You'd better not do anything now.

You've taken care of it?

How?

By bowing and scraping

with that fake smile?

I have my own methods.

I don't have time to explain to you now.

I have my methods too.

Don't get in my way.

Cheng Ao.

Everything comes to him who waits.

If you go after Dong now,

break his arm and cripple his leg,

you might feel it's resolved.

But will Siyun's hospital be able to open?

We'll need Dong's help in the future.

He's not the only

powerful one in Shanghai.

There are plenty of ways and people

who can help Siyun open her hospital.

Like who?

You or me?

It isn't that jerk anyway.

Let's stop arguing.

Nothing serious happened, right?

I promise if there's a next time,

I'll deal with him together with you.

It's quite lively down there.

Yes, it is.

Miss Lin.

Mrs. Shen, I'll be going now.

Alright.

Mrs. Shen.

Where did you go just now?

Aunt Nan.

Siyun just went to see under-secretary Dong.

Dong is too bold.

He tried to take advantage of Siyun.

Who introduced under-secretary Dong to Miss Lin?

I think it was me.

Miss Lin.

I understand your original intention for opening a maternity hospital.

And I know how important

this hospital is to you.

As long as it can be opened smoothly,

no matter how difficult it gets,

I'm not afraid.

It's hard for a woman to get things done.

But no matter how difficult, I'll still do it.

Otherwise, why would I have studied abroad in the West?

I must open

the hospital.

I'll go with you

to meet those businessmen later.

You two men.

You can't even protect a girl.

Don't worry.

I won't let this happen again.

It's fine now.

It's about time.

I'll go down with you.

Cheng Ao.

Do you have feelings for Lin Siyun?

I just don't like you.

So you're saying Lin Siyun is better than me?

She is indeed excellent.

Something's wrong. Director Shen.

There's a dead man in the restroom,

covered in blood.

Who's dead?

Close all the exits.

Notify the police station.

Check every vehicle passing nearby.

Alright, let's talk another day.

Sure.

Who would dare take such a huge risk to kill him?

I bet it's the Eliminate Spies Squad of the Communist Party.

What do you think?

Not interested.

Let's go, Siyun.

I need to stay and handle other matters.

Make sure you get Siyun home safely.

As long as she stays away from you,

she'll be safe.

Let's go.

You only know how to take advantage of others.

Tell me how you found the body just now.

At first I was cleaning near the restroom.

Suddenly,

I heard a yowl.

So I followed the sound,

and saw that person

already lying on the floor.

Did anyone

pass by here before that?

I...

don't remember.

Think again.

I remember now.

A man in a western-style servant's uniform

walked out of the restroom around that time.

What happened tonight

is our Shen family's fault.

Please, everyone, go home first.

Tomorrow my wife and I will personally call on you to apologize.

We're truly sorry for this.

Director Shen.

Distinguished guests.

You don't need to investigate further.

I'll see you out.

No need.

We can't let our matters

interfere with your duties.

The investigation must continue.

Mr. Zeng, thanks.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

All right.

Thank you.

This certificate was issued just the day before yesterday.

Orders just came down from above

that anyone with certificates issued within the past 7 days

must be taken to the station for questioning.

Take him away!

Yes, sir.

Wait, bro.

Just a moment, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

This gentleman came with me.

He's Mr. Zeng's friend.

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

I'm Mr. Zeng's adopted son,

Cheng Ao.

Sorry,

but we have strict orders

to thoroughly check everyone.

Bro.

This gentleman is

a friend of my son.

He and my son

may leave with me, right?

Of course, Mr. Zeng.

Please.

Thank you.

She's my fourth concubine.

Pleased to meet you.

Cheng Ao.

Come to my place

tomorrow.

Yes.

Thank you for today.

The checks are strict lately.

Take care.

I will.

Take care.

Let's go.

My fourth concubine.

Wait.

The car is over there.

You're worried about him.

Who is Mr. Gu exactly?

Why would the police want him?

What I mean is,

if you ever

see Mr. Gu again,

you need to be careful too.

Got it.

Why are you looking at me? You're driving.

Watch the road.

I've already stamped all the relevant documents.

Take a look.

[Shanghai Property Ownership Certificate]

My property here is in a prime location.

It's perfect for

a restaurant or a café.

What about opening a hospital?

A hospital?

I'm not planning to open a restaurant for Yingying anymore.

I'm thinking of using this property

to invest in a maternity hospital

and hire you as the director.

What do you think?

Are you serious?

Of course I am.

Well,

won't Miss Yingying be upset?

Yingying is just a child.

She plays all day.

How could she run a business?

Even if I opened a restaurant for her,

she'd only come with her friends,

eating and drinking all day without making any profit.

A hospital is different.

I've already had experts evaluate it

and calculate the prospects.

I'll do my best.

I'll work hard to run this hospital well.

Alright, don't get emotional.

Let's be clear about this.

I won't interfere with how you run it,

but it must be profitable.

Good luck.

Thank you, Mrs. Shen.

Don't call me Mrs. Shen anymore.

Just call me Aunt Nan.

Thank you, Aunt Nan.

Stop it.

[Virtue Nurtures Talent]

How did you get to know

that man He Yaozu

from yesterday?

What's your relationship?

I met him in the shantytown last time.

He's their spokesperson.

I sat with him inside for a while

and found he's quite knowledgeable.

But his awareness and knowledge

don't really match his circumstances.

So I was curious about him.

That's all.

You helped him just because of that?

What was going on yesterday?

He's clearly a Communist.

Dad, I don't know what party he belongs to.

I just enjoy talking with him.

I don't want to interfere with you.

You're a smart man.

If you want to achieve great things and take charge of this family,

you can't be soft-hearted,

do you understand?

You haven't experienced

the Kuomintang purge of 1927.

Chiang Kai-shek claimed

he'd rather kill a thousand by mistake

than let one Communist escape.

Many young people were killed just like that.

Some of them didn't even know

what Communism was.

They just followed the crowd in protests

and died

for nothing.

If you can't avoid it,

show respect from a distance,

and keep your distance with respect.

This is politics,

something we can't afford to mess with.

Ao.

I can't allow anything to happen to you.

Understand?

Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere?

What did you say?

I said I understand, Dad.

Ao.

This is my younger brother, Xiaoshan.

Sit down.

Ao.

He came to Shanghai to attend military school,

then enlisted.

Look at what he's wearing.

The cap has two buttons.

Ao, help me.

Talk to him.

Without a country, there's no home.

The Japanese have occupied Manchuria,

and now they want North China.

No Chinese can tolerate this.

If all Chinese were like you,

our country would surely perish.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm your brother.

How dare you speak to me like this?

I raised you all these years.

-So -Cheng.

I'm wrong now?

Cheng!

Xiaoshan.

Your brother often talks about you.

I think there's nothing wrong with defending our country.

Why shouldn't he go?

No, Ao.

It's not that he can't go.

But shouldn't I go first?

I'm the eldest, like his father.

He's so young, what could he possibly understand?

You only know how to fight.

Can you shoot?

Do you understand anything about military affairs?

I can't shoot? Then what's this?

What is this?

Speak up, what is this?

Cheng!

Xiaoshan.

You should go.

I support you.

But you must study hard when you get there.

If you don't do well, you'll end up like your brother,

working for me.

What a shame that would be.

No, Ao.

Ao, am I not doing a good job?

Put your gun away.

No.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Get out.

Father,

from today onwards,

the Lin residence has become the Sinan Maternity Hospital.

In the past, all the Lin family children

were born here.

From now on,

I will be here

welcoming more new lives into the world.

[Sinan Maternity Hospital]

The sheets, duvet covers, and towels in the delivery room

must be disinfected regularly.

This area must be kept clean at all times.

Also, pay attention to the mothers' emotions.

You must be patient.

Don't let them feel anxious

or upset.

Help them maintain a pleasant mood

as they welcome their babies here.

Liu,

remember to open the windows and curtains

every day when you come in.

So the delivery room gets proper ventilation and fresh air.

Okay.

Read the handbook

I've given you all carefully.

Dr. Lin,

men aren't allowed in here.

Director Lin.

I'll step outside for a moment.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see

the famous

Sinan Maternity Hospital.

Girls, take some time to get familiar with the place.

No men allowed.

Isn't this place not officially open yet?

What's wrong?

What are you thinking about?

This used to be the kitchen, right?

The first time I came here,

someone walked from the living room to here,

grabbed a kitchen knife and went upstairs to attack me.

So fierce.

You guys drove me to it.

Pretty good.

You've gone from a kitchen knife to a scalpel.

By the way,

I bought flower stands.

When you officially open,

I'll have Cheng bring them over.

Also,

if you need,

I can be your legal advisor.

My hospital isn't even open yet,

not making any profit,

I can't afford to pay you.

Who said anything about money?

Aunt Nan and I are both your benefactors.

Hello?

Hello,

I'm looking for Ao.

Cheng Ao,

phone for you.

For me?

Yes.

Hello?

Hey, bro,

so you are there after all.

I couldn't find you,

so I called Miss Lin's place.

How did you get this number?

I...

I got it

when we were collecting debts from her family.

You haven't changed your number?

I will soon.

What's the matter?

Bro,

my brother Xiaoshan is in trouble.

Can you help me out?

I don't deserve such praise.

I should serve the party and country

even at the cost of my life.

Understood.

I'll arrange it right away,

and will definitely give you an answer tomorrow.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Do me a favor.

Have a seat and tell me.

I have a young relative

who joined a training camp

organized by the Shanghai military,

and was suddenly arrested

on charges of collaborating with Communists.

What did he do?

During training,

an instructor was preaching that

we must first eliminate internal threats before fighting external ones,

and to win the war,

a soldier's primary duty

is to eliminate the Communist Party,

and only secondarily

to resist Japanese invasion.

The kid didn't understand and asked

why wiping out the Communists was considered

the first priority over resisting Japan.

Just that one question,

and he was arrested.

Wasn't the kid right?

Isn't this what all Chinese people feel?

How could they charge him with being a Communist sympathizer?

If you put it that way,

then millions of Chinese people

would all be Communists.

Bro, stop right there.

Don't let anyone hear you.

You don't need to explain these principles to me,

regarding the Chairman's strategy,

in my position,

I can't express any opinions.

Just tell me directly

what you need me to do.

I've made inquiries.

The kid is still being held at the military school,

about to be transferred to the Military Police.

Once he's transferred to the Military Police,

his chances are slim.

You have many connections.

Help me get him out.

Good heavens,

this is such a serious matter!

I don't have that kind of power.

The training camp address

and instructor's name are here. Hurry.

Well...

What else are you taking out?

Cheng Ao.

You're quite practiced

at this game.

Alright.

I'll help you

with this matter.

Leave the training camp address

and instructor's name

here.

Take your money back.

We're close friends.

Besides,

this isn't something money can solve.

Take it back.

Wait.

For tonight's booze.

Look at you.

You still drink?

Your stomach is already bad.

Give me two more bills

to buy stomach medicine.

Shut up.

I'm leaving.

Wait for my news.

Doctor.

How is my brother doing?

Three broken ribs, ruptured spleen,

and neurological damage.

Bro.

Please help me.

I want to sue them.

Stay with your brother first.

I'll go back to my office for a moment.

Bro.

Xiaoshan's case has gained public attention,

surprisingly many people from all walks of life are supporting him.

Mr. Lu has been working very hard on this.

Xiaoshan is an anti-Japanese youth.

He has the people's support.

Those dark forces can't stop this.

What are you talking about?

Director Shen, you're here in person.

Am I not welcome?

Of course you are.

Hello, Director Shen.

Cheng.

I'll go to the court to get the documents, bro.

So?

How confident are you about this trial?

What's more important about this case

is winning public support.

Wait a minute.

Why are you

so interested in this case?

From what I know about you,

you should be keeping your distance.

The great Attorney Cheng finally asks for my help,

so I should put in some extra effort.

Take a look at this.

Where did you get this?

Never mind where I got it.

This will definitely help you control people's minds.

But Cheng Ao,

this is as far as I can help you with this matter.

The rest is up to you.

Let me warn you.

This isn't nearly as simple as you think.

I've done some research,

and that kid is incredibly brazen.

He can't just be

a simple patriotic youth.

There must be political forces behind him.

Let me give you some advice:

stir things up, let them fight each other,

keep your distance,

and you won't lose no matter who wins.

That's a lot of information.

Shen Yiqun.

Is this guy

your political rival?

Pretty much.

No wonder.

I'm leaving.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Auntie, I'm back.

Yi.

Come on, give it to me.

Auntie, your hospital is doing really well.

I can finally move back home.

Miss Lin,

long time no see.

You are Zhou?

I just came to help Yi move in.

Yi,

I've moved all your stuff in.

If there's nothing else, I'll be going now.

Okay.

Miss Lin, I have matters to attend to at school,

I'll come visit another day.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

Auntie, what are you smiling about?

You tell me.

Alright,

let me show you your room.

Okay.

This room in our house

has been converted into nurses' quarters.

The hospital just opened and isn't making much profit yet.

Once we start earning money,

we'll rent a place outside,

but for now, we'll have to make do.

Okay.

Liu,

which bed is reserved for Yi?

This bed is unoccupied.

It's reserved for Yi.

Thank you.

Auntie, this place is really nice.

Can I invite my classmates over?

You can't go to the treatment areas,

just stay in the dormitory,

and don't disturb others who are resting.

Got it.

You tidy up here. I need to get back to work.

Okay.

Goodbye, Auntie.

My client, Wu Xiaoshan,

for saying just one sentence during training,

was detained and beaten severely,

has not yet recovered enough to leave the hospital,

and cannot appear in court.

I imagine everyone is curious

about what kind of

treasonous statement he made

to suffer such punishment.

During the training session,

the instructor repeatedly emphasized

that to resist foreign aggression,

we must first pacify internal unrest.

First, establish internal stability,

and then

focus on resistance.

Xiaoshan didn't understand,

what's the cause and effect here?

Nonsense!

This student was sent by the Communists

to sabotage us.

He was acting under Communist orders.

He admitted it himself.

Yet you're defending him.

Are you a Communist too?

Before I came today, a government official

told me almost the same thing.

He said Xiaoshan's motives go beyond simple patriotism.

He must have powerful forces behind him,

and he was sent by the Communist Party to subvert patriotic students.

But the truth is,

you're suppressing a genuinely patriotic student.

I'm Wu Xiaoshan's classmate,

from Heilongjiang.

Now I can't return home,

because the Japanese have occupied it.

Our relatives back home have become slaves in a conquered land.

Xiaoshan is not a Communist,

and neither are we.

We just want to defeat the Japanese devils

and liberate the Northeast provinces.

I don't want to be a slave in a conquered country.

I want to go home!

We refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation.

We refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation.

Order in the court!

Your Honor,

I would like to ask the defendant,

are you truly Chinese or not?

Why am I imprisoned

just for expressing my patriotism,

beaten, cursed, and humiliated?

Why do you insist I'm a Communist

when I declare

my resistance against Japan and love for my country?

Let me tell you,

I am not a Communist.

But I do support the Communist Party's

anti-Japanese stance.

That is typical Communist rhetoric.

The school's investigation of you

is entirely based on your communist tendencies.

What has the school done wrong?

You're young and naive,

where did you get these ideas?

Someone must be influencing you.

Wu Xiaoshan has made it very clear

that he supports the Communist Party's resistance against Japan.

What's wrong with supporting resistance against Japan?

Not wanting our beautiful homeland to be taken by enemies,

what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with not wanting our homes trampled upon?

If you insist

that he has powerful forces behind him,

then yes, he does.

You.

You.

You. You. You. You all.

Including me,

we are all part of this force.

This powerful force is 400 million

Chinese compatriots who refuse to be slaves of a conquered nation!

Cheng Ao, I'm heading back to the newspaper.

I'm going to write an article

and try to get it published in the next day or two.

Okay.

Thank you for your hard work.

We're all Chinese.

Today's court hearing was truly impressive.

I'm off.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Ao.

Do you think

we can win this case?

I can't guarantee it.

Why the long face?

Public opinion is already on our side.

Didn't Mr. Lu say

that people are very concerned about this case,

and it's having such a big impact?

So why are you still looking so gloomy?

Xiaoshan.

In fighting this lawsuit,

besides seeking justice for you,

isn't it just as important

to convey to the public

that you patriotic youths stand firmly against Japanese aggression?

I understand, Ao.

I have another thing

I'd like to ask for your help with.

Sure.

My classmates and I

are planning to return to the Northeast

to join the anti-Japanese volunteer army.

No problem,

I'll make the arrangements for you.

Thank you, Ao.

Are you tired today?

What would you like to eat?

Let's go together,

my treat.

I'm hungry too.

Let's eat together.

You idiot,

can't you read the room?

Did Miss Lin invite you to dinner?

She wants to treat Ao to dinner,

and you're just going on about being hungry.

It's fine.

Let's go together then.

Ao said

it's fine,

so let's go together.

So

let's go together.

No thanks, bro.

We're going for noodles.

You go with Miss Lin.

You're not coming?

The three of us can go.

Bro.

I'm not really hungry,

but I need to help Xiaoshan.

How can I let you support him?

Come, bro.

Weren't you going to eat noodles?

I can help him, it's fine.

Miss Lin.

Please, go ahead.

Take it slow.
