[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.

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

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.
