How to pronounce "大部分"

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 10]

Hungry?

Haven't had dinner?

I'm not in the mood.

Guess the talk didn't go well.

Tell me about it.

They really have no idea

about the Japanese strength and capabilities.

Do you think...

my dad was really killed by the Japanese?

We've got plenty of men,

but we're no match for the Japanese.

Pistols are no match for machine guns.

That warlord Zhang in the northeast—

wasn't he powerful?

Didn't he still get killed by the Japanese bomb?

Now Master just

got a new son late in life.

In his mind, he's still

some hot-blooded young guy.

We need to splash some cold water on him

to distract him.

Once his energy is diverted,

he won't have time for the workers' strike.

How do we do it?

No way.

That's my brother.

"Boiling beans on beanstalks—

the beans weep, burned by their own kind."

I'll take all of these.

Wrap them up for me.

Madam Yanhong.

Siyun.

Waitress,

bring me your most expensive necklace.

Who is this?

This is my sister-in-law.

Madam Yanhong.

Bring me another expensive one.

Here, Siyun.

This is for you.

The other one is for your sister-in-law.

You've helped me a lot

with my baby's matters.

Thank you, Madam Yanhong.

I can't accept this gift.

I provided medical treatment.

Mr. Zeng has already paid the consultation fee.

That's not the same.

Even though he's paid you,

this is my gift.

Please take it.

It's not that expensive.

I really can't.

I will keep

your baby in mind.

Alright, I won't force you then.

Once my baby's born,

I'll prepare a proper gift for you.

You must accept it then.

Siyun,

let me tell you,

all those little ailments I had before,

they've vanished.

I guess that's what they call "good news brings good health."

Congratulations.

I know what you're thinking.

That I only married the old man for money.

Or what else?

Of course I'm in it for the money.

Isn't it good to be rich?

With money,

I can buy whatever I want.

My child and I

can live a good life.

That's why

a woman

has to be shrewd.

I didn't have a choice.

So if I had to choose—I'd choose money.

Siyun,

do you think my baby

will be a boy or a girl?

That I can't tell.

Can traditional medicine predict it?

I don't know.

What if it's a girl—

does that mean less money for me?

Forget it. I won't think about it.

I'll just burn incense every day

when I get back to pray for a boy.

Alright, I should go now.

Take good care of yourself, Madam Yanhong.

Okay, I won't see you out.

My belly is getting bigger.

I need to buy more new clothes.

Let's go, Sis.

It was this necklace just now, right?

Siyun,

it's such a nice necklace.

Why didn't you accept it?

Taking gifts from others is a burden.

It doesn't feel easy.

Then here's an idea.

Next time you

treat those rich ladies,

take me with you.

You might feel awkward, but I don't.

I'll accept them for you.

Dr. Lin! Dr. Lin!

Come with me quickly!

Madam Yanhong's not good!

What happened?

Madam Yanhong,

what's wrong?

My belly hurts.

I just bled.

Do you think I'll be alright?

Fu,

call a car.

We're going to the hospital.

Okay.

Sis, I'll accompany Madam Yanhong to the hospital.

You call the hospital

and tell them to prepare for surgery.

Also,

notify Cheng Ao to come to the hospital.

Alright.

Relax.

Give the patient a blood transfusion.

Call the anesthetist.

Get ready for surgery.

Am I going to die?

No.

Don't be nervous.

Take deep breaths.

We'll give you blood.

Once the anesthetic's in, it won't hurt.

Director,

maybe you should step out.

People outside are insisting on seeing you.

I'll step out for a moment.

I'll be right back to perform your surgery.

Dr. Lin.

Siyun,

what's going on?

When I was at the department store today,

I ran into Madam Yanhong.

She suddenly felt unwell.

After examination, we found out

she's showing signs of miscarriage.

But...

she was fine when she left home this morning.

How could this happen?

She's still hemorrhaging.

The situation is critical.

What about the baby?

Answer him!

I'm sorry, Dr. Lin.

Please go ahead.

We can only save

either the baby or the mother.

Yanhong.

Save the mother.

Wait.

Dr. Lin,

save the baby instead.

Here's a small gift.

Thank you for your help.

Director, her blood pressure is dropping.

Almost unmeasurable.

If we force delivery,

we might not be able to save the mother.

[Emergency Room]

Is it a boy or girl?

Madam Yanhong's condition

has stabilized.

What about the baby?

The baby...

didn't make it.

What did I just tell you?

I am a doctor.

I had no choice.

Didn't you say there was a choice?

Father.

Get out of the way!

Something's wrong here.

We need to investigate first.

Move!

Take him away!

Get out of here!

Father!

Father, I beg you.

Father, don't shoot.

Father!

Father, you can't shoot!

Father!

Father, you can't kill her!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Cheng Ao,

from today on,

your 20-year relationship with our Zeng family

is over.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Yanhong will recover, right?

She's not even 20 yet.

Her body should recover quickly.

She can have children again.

That's good.

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

You didn't do anything wrong.

If it were me,

I would've chosen the same.

I just find it all so sudden and bewildering.

Dalun suddenly

started working with the Japanese.

My father

suddenly cut ties with me.

I used to think

I could handle many things,

face all kinds of situations.

Siyun,

when are you free

these next few days?

When are you free?

What's up?

I want to treat you to dinner.

My treat—you set it up.

I'm busy.

Do you know who contacted me?

Zeng Dalun.

He's doing really well now.

And what's that

got to do with me?

You're close with Cheng Ao, and he's close with Dalun.

Help me set up

a dinner with him.

If I could work with him,

wouldn't our family be better off again?

You know,

Zeng Dalun is quite influential now.

He's very close with the Japanese.

With the current situation

being so tense,

if I could connect with the Japanese through Zeng Dalun,

wouldn't that be double insurance for our family?

I understand better than anyone

what it means to adapt to changing circumstances.

Please leave immediately.

If you don't leave now, I'll call the police.

You know me well enough.

Dalun,

the investigation into Communist supplies

is now in its final stage.

Most of Shanghai's docks have been checked.

Now I want to inspect your family's dock.

Our dock?

No way.

My father isn't pro-Communist.

He only hates the Japanese.

Dalun,

your opium trafficking

has been reported to the higher-ups.

Cooperating with Shen Yiqun this time

is your chance to make amends.

Cooperate?

Why should I cooperate with Shen Yiqun?

Who does he think he is?

I've done

more work for the Revival Society

than he has lately.

Dalun,

it's good for young people to have passion.

But politics isn't just about fighting.

What matters most is brains.

I understand.

So according to you,

the deputy director position is basically Shen Yiqun's?

Not necessarily.

You might still have a shot.

What's crucial now is whether we can seize

that shipment of medicine the Communists are moving out of Shanghai.

If you can track down this shipment,

the deputy director position

should be yours.

Just bear with it for now.

Having you work with Shen Yiqun

is also what our superiors want.

Thank you for your guidance, Director.

That's more like it.

Remember this,

the grievance

is just a temporary thing.

I have high hopes for you.

Do your best.

I'll get to it.

Go on then.

Cut back on smoking.

Thank you, Director.

Jin,

set up a meeting with Mr. Sada for me.

Tell him

I need to see him urgently.

Seems Director Liu's words can't be trusted.

I've never trusted him anyway.

So, what's your plan?

Take this carton of cigarettes.

Thank you, Young Master.

Mr. Sada,

we've worked together for a long time—

from the Northeast to Shanghai.

Our business dealings have always gone smoothly.

That's true.

Let's drink to our friendship.

I have an idea

that not only keeps our business going,

but also strengthens my cooperation with the Empire of Japan.

Mr. Zeng,

we've been friends for years.

Of course I'd welcome deeper cooperation.

But may I ask,

how exactly do you plan

to achieve this?

Shen Yiqun and I

are competing for the deputy director position.

You know what kind of person Shen Yiqun is.

He has always been anti-Japanese.

If he becomes the deputy director,

it would certainly

be all harm and no good for you.

But if it's me,

the Kuomintang's door

would be your back door.

Whatever intelligence you need,

I can easily provide.

That's thoughtful of you, Mr. Zeng.

Since you've spoken so frankly,

we will definitely help you win

this position.

I will do my utmost.

Mr. Gu,

you wanted to see me?

The contact I usually work with has been arrested.

The situation is extremely urgent.

Both the medicine and myself need to be transferred.

I'll make arrangements.

Be careful.

It's so late.

I just finished a meeting.

The meeting was about

deploying forces throughout the city to eliminate the Communists.

Our principle is to capture them alive if possible,

but shoot to kill at the slightest resistance.

Why are you telling me this?

You know this person well, don't you?

He's on our elimination list.

Once he's captured...

I don't know if you're familiar

with our torture procedures,

but no one can withstand them.

Within 3 days, he will definitely reveal

everyone connected to him.

Aren't you afraid saying this

will get you in trouble?

I have no choice.

Here are two steamer tickets.

Take Siyun and leave Shanghai.

Go to Chongqing.

I'll think about it.

Cheng Ao,

just think it through.

Make your decision quickly.

I'm leaving.

Why such a hurry?

Stay for a drink.

Another time—

once things settle down.

[Law Firm File]

Why did you suddenly ask me to meet here?

When I'm working,

it's all so fake.

After so many years in politics,

meeting different people every day,

saying different things to everyone,

sometimes I don't even know

if what I'm doing is right or wrong.

It's just so exhausting.

This place is nice.

It helps me relax.

Have you ever thought

it's your own ambition

that's turned you into this?

My ambition is big, yes.

But who doesn't have ambition?

I've tried to control it—

but I can't.

This is for you.

A gift.

I bought a house in Chongqing for you and Cheng Ao.

I've seen the house. It's really nice.

You love dogs, right?

The yard is perfect for that.

And don't feel pressured.

Both your names are on the deed.

You know what I mean.

I'm suggesting that you could

leave Shanghai for a while.

It's so dangerous now, bullets flying every day.

What if one day a bullet, bang!

I'm not saying it would hit you.

But what if it hits Cheng Ao's head?

That would be terrible. I'd be devastated.

No one is get shot.

That's good.

What's good?

You're so good to Cheng Ao.

Take it.

I can't accept this house.

Why not?

Why should I?

Does Cheng Ao know about this?

I just went to see him.

I told him about it.

He knows.

Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore.

I didn't buy this house for you two.

I just helped you pick it.

I paid on your behalf.

Just now in Cheng Ao's office,

he already paid me back.

And honestly, it's pretty expensive.

I might not even afford it myself.

Cheng Ao treats you

really well.

Now you can accept it, right?

I've had a lock specially made.

Here's the key.

When things settle down someday,

I'll come visit you in Chongqing.

But promise me—

save me a room.

Don't turn me away when I come.

Alright, you go home first.

I'll stay here a bit longer.

Wait.

Be happy!

Shen Yiqun!

Who should not be hurt?

Cheng Ao.

Young Master,

we didn't find Cheng Ao's medicine.

That's impossible.

Search!

Yes, sir!

Dad.

Zhi,

where did you

get this deed from?

I'll count to three.

One—

Two—

I'll tell you.

Zhi has confessed that

Zeng Dalun gave her money

and a property deed

to put abortion medicine

into Madam Yanhong's chicken soup.

I see.

You may go now.

Dr. Lin,

please have a seat.

The other day,

you were frightened.

I'm truly sorry about that.

Lately, I've been thinking about

Cheng Ao

and Dalun when they were children.

Those two boys

always loved running around in the courtyard

back and forth,

never sitting still.

A child’s nature shows the adult to come.

Dalun has

been mischievous since childhood.

As for Ao,

he has always been very steady.

Dr. Lin,

can you forgive me?

Here's a small gift from me.

Please don't refuse it.

Take it.

It's from Father.

Dad,

I did it,

but it was to protect you.

Dad,

have you seen Cheng Ao?

Do you want him dead too?

Dad,

how could I?

You and Cheng Ao are the closest people to me.

Ao has a shipment of goods.

If you give me that shipment,

I will get promoted.

By then, what's mine

will be yours and Cheng Ao's too.

Go!

I'll say this one last time.

No dealings with the Japanese.

The medicines and equipment are all packed.

Ready to depart anytime.

Mr. Cheng,

I hope one day

you will join us.

Those with determination

will eventually find their path

toward the right goal.

Take care once you leave Shanghai.

Mr. Cheng,

farewell.

Cheng Ao,

if there were more people like Mr. Gu,

our country would have hope, wouldn't it?

I believe so.

We must strive to be like him.

On August 13th, 1937,

the Battle of Shanghai broke out.

Sinan Maternity Hospital

has been used during the war,

receiving injured soldiers and refugees.

[Our Forces Strike Back, Enemy Suffers Heavy Losses'

[Shanghai Suburbs, August 1937]

To protect our homeland,

to protect our families—

today

we march to the front.

Maybe today we fight,

and tomorrow we never come back!

But as soldiers,

as sons of China,

we do not fear death.

Trained for 1,000 days,

used in one moment—

now

it's our turn to fight!

Left face!

Quick march!

Director, more wounded are coming in.

What do we do?

Put them in the main ward.

Clean their wounds, disinfect and bandage them.

Gather those who need surgery.

I'll come over as soon as I finish here.

Understood.

I'm really smart, you know.

Do you know what these mirrors

are for?

In a couple of days,

when Japanese planes come,

we'll place these mirrors

at the most important National Army positions—

grain depots,

command posts,

and arsenals.

When these mirrors reflect light,

the Japanese planes

will hit their targets with precision.

This glass is quite sturdy.

Go break it.

Okay.

Nobody move!

Get down!

Stop right there!

Dad,

I'm negotiating with the Japanese,

trying for a ceasefire.

They've agreed.

As long as the National Army

withdraws from Shanghai,

they promised to treat our people well.

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 10]

Hungry?

Haven't had dinner?

I'm not in the mood.

Guess the talk didn't go well.

Tell me about it.

They really have no idea

about the Japanese strength and capabilities.

Are you okay?

Thank you, Young Master.

Mr. Sada,

we've worked together for a long time—

from the Northeast to Shanghai.

Our business dealings have always gone smoothly.

That's true.

Let's drink to our friendship.

I have an idea

that not only keeps our business going,

but also strengthens my cooperation with the Empire of Japan.

Mr. Zeng,

we've been friends for years.

Of course I'd welcome deeper cooperation.

But may I ask,

how exactly do you plan

to achieve this?

Shen Yiqun and I

are competing for the deputy director position.

You know what kind of person Shen Yiqun is.

He has always been anti-Japanese.

If he becomes the deputy director,

it would certainly

be all harm and no good for you.

But if it's me,

the Kuomintang's door

would be your back door.

Whatever intelligence you need,

I can easily provide.

That's thoughtful of you, Mr. Zeng.

Since you've spoken so frankly,

we will definitely help you win

this position.

I will do my utmost.

Mr. Gu,

you wanted to see me?

The contact I usually work with has been arrested.

The situation is extremely urgent.

Both the medicine and myself need to be transferred.

I'll make arrangements.

Be careful.

It's so late.

I just finished a meeting.

The meeting was about

deploying forces throughout the city to eliminate the Communists.

Our principle is to capture them alive if possible,

but shoot to kill at the slightest resistance.

Why are you telling me this?

You know this person well, don't you?

He's on our elimination list.

Once he's captured...

I don't know if you're familiar

with our torture procedures,

but no one can withstand them.

Within 3 days, he will definitely reveal

everyone connected to him.

Aren't you afraid saying this

will get you in trouble?

I have no choice.

Here are two steamer tickets.

Take Siyun and leave Shanghai.

Go to Chongqing.

I'll think about it.

Cheng Ao,

just think it through.

Make your decision quickly.

I'm leaving.

Why such a hurry?

Stay for a drink.

Another time—

once things settle down.

[Law Firm File]

Why did you suddenly ask me to meet here?

When I'm working,

it's all so fake.

After so many years in politics,

meeting different people every day,

saying different things to everyone,

sometimes I don't even know

if what I'm doing is right or wrong.

It's just so exhausting.

This place is nice.

It helps me relax.

Have you ever thought

it's your own ambition

that's turned you into this?

My ambition is big, yes.

But who doesn't have ambition?

I've tried to control it—

but I can't.

This is for you.

A gift.

I bought a house in Chongqing for you and Cheng Ao.

I've seen the house. It's really nice.

You love dogs, right?

The yard is perfect for that.

And don't feel pressured.

Both your names are on the deed.

You know what I mean.

I'm suggesting that you could

leave Shanghai for a while.

It's so dangerous now, bullets flying every day.

What if one day a bullet, bang!

I'm not saying it would hit you.

But what if it hits Cheng Ao's head?

That would be terrible. I'd be devastated.

No one is get shot.

That's good.

What's good?

You're so good to Cheng Ao.

Take it.

I can't accept this house.

Why not?

Why should I?

Does Cheng Ao know about this?

I just went to see him.

I told him about it.

He knows.

Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore.

I didn't buy this house for you two.

I just helped you pick it.

I paid on your behalf.

Just now in Cheng Ao's office,

he already paid me back.

And honestly, it's pretty expensive.

I might not even afford it myself.

Cheng Ao treats you

really well.

Now you can accept it, right?

I've had a lock specially made.

Here's the key.

When things settle down someday,

I'll come visit you in Chongqing.

But promise me—

save me a room.

Don't turn me away when I come.

Alright, you go home first.

I'll stay here a bit longer.

Wait.

Be happy!

Shen Yiqun!

Who should not be hurt?

Cheng Ao.

Young Master,

we didn't find Cheng Ao's medicine.

That's impossible.

Search!

Yes, sir!

Dad.

Zhi,

where did you

get this deed from?

I'll count to three.

One—

Two—

I'll tell you.

Zhi has confessed that

Zeng Dalun gave her money

and a property deed

to put abortion medicine

into Madam Yanhong's chicken soup.

I see.

You may go now.

Dr. Lin,

please have a seat.

The other day,

you were frightened.

I'm truly sorry about that.

Lately, I've been thinking about

Cheng Ao

and Dalun when they were children.

Those two boys

always loved running around in the courtyard

back and forth,

never sitting still.

A child’s nature shows the adult to come.

Dalun has

been mischievous since childhood.

As for Ao,

he has always been very steady.

Dr. Lin,

can you forgive me?

Here's a small gift from me.

Please don't refuse it.

Take it.

It's from Father.

Dad,

I did it,

but it was to protect you.

Dad,

have you seen Cheng Ao?

Do you want him dead too?

Dad,

how could I?

You and Cheng Ao are the closest people to me.

Ao has a shipment of goods.

If you give me that shipment,

I will get promoted.

By then, what's mine

will be yours and Cheng Ao's too.

Go!

I'll say this one last time.

No dealings with the Japanese.

The medicines and equipment are all packed.

Ready to depart anytime.

Mr. Cheng,

I hope one day

you will join us.

Those with determination

will eventually find their path

toward the right goal.

Take care once you leave Shanghai.

Mr. Cheng,

farewell.

Cheng Ao,

if there were more people like Mr. Gu,

our country would have hope, wouldn't it?

I believe so.

We must strive to be like him.

On August 13th, 1937,

the Battle of Shanghai broke out.

Sinan Maternity Hospital

has been used during the war,

receiving injured soldiers and refugees.

[Our Forces Strike Back, Enemy Suffers Heavy Losses'

[Shanghai Suburbs, August 1937]

To protect our homeland,

to protect our families—

today

we march to the front.

Maybe today we fight,

and tomorrow we never come back!

But as soldiers,

as sons of China,

we do not fear death.

Trained for 1,000 days,

used in one moment—

now

it's our turn to fight!

Left face!

Quick march!

Director, more wounded are coming in.

What do we do?

Put them in the main ward.

Clean their wounds, disinfect and bandage them.

Gather those who need surgery.

I'll come over as soon as I finish here.

Understood.

I'm really smart, you know.

Do you know what these mirrors

are for?

In a couple of days,

when Japanese planes come,

we'll place these mirrors

at the most important National Army positions—

grain depots,

command posts,

and arsenals.

When these mirrors reflect light,

the Japanese planes

will hit their targets with precision.

This glass is quite sturdy.

Go break it.

Okay.

Nobody move!

Get down!

Stop right there!

Dad,

I'm negotiating with the Japanese,

trying for a ceasefire.

They've agreed.

As long as the National Army

withdraws from Shanghai,

they promised to treat our people well.
