The Legend (1993) Movie Script
1
MAY OUR COUNTRY BE PEACEFUL
AND PROSPEROUS
RETURN OUR COUNTRY TO US
- Protect His Majesty!
- Yes!
Red Flower Society
will take revenge tonight.
- Let's go!
- Yes!
Chan Ka Lok?
- How dare you kill me? I'm the emperor.
- You belong to the Han race.
Yet you have become a Manchu emperor.
I want to kill you on behalf
of the Han people tonight.
Your Majesty, please take care!
Why can't I ever have a sound sleep?
We should be punished.
Listen!
I want to see Governor Oryeetor.
Did you come to buy a sword?
- No.
- What do you want then?
My master is suffering
from serious insomnia.
He should see a physician.
I am only a blacksmith.
It's useless to see a physician.
My master said,
only when the demon
in his dream is killed
could he sleep peacefully.
Who is your master?
My master is Emperor Chien Lung.
Five days ago,
I killed a member of
the Red Flower Society.
What?
Did you kill our Fourth Brother?
I found a letter on his body
saying that the name list
of the Red Flower Society
is kept by a blacksmith.
Right, but I already sent it away.
You will never get it.
- Really?
- I want to avenge him!
- Search!
- Yes!
Tiger Lui is so rich.
I wonder what business
he is running in Shandong.
He used to be a bandit.
Rumor has it that he sponsors
this sports competition.
So what if he's rich?
He did so many bad things.
He bought a lot of land,
causing the value of the land here
to increase significantly.
What to do? He is in league
with the magistrate.
That's why he is so cocky.
What can we poor people do?
Young Lady, let's go home.
So, Father is a bastard
in the eyes of these people.
Young Lady, do you only know it now?
Will we be recognized?
Don't worry, no one knows us. Let's go.
That girl is pretty. Go and tease her.
- Come on.
- Let's go!
Shall we stay and have a look?
No, let's go home now.
- Miss, are you alone?
- What do you want?
- Let us accompany you.
- Go away!
Come on.
So she's from the North.
She looks so pretty!
Don't bully me, I know Cantonese!
That's even better. So we can communicate.
Don't touch my sister!
Your sister?
I know him, he is bullshitting.
- He has no sister.
- I know you too.
You are a pimp.
- How dare you insult my boss?
- Beat him!
Come on!
- You dare fight with our boss?
- Beat him!
Come on!
Do you want to be put in jail?
It's not his fault.
This is the first day I reported for duty.
Give me some face.
Let's see if he gives some face or not.
Damn it, how dare you fight here?
- Do you want to go to jail?
- I am sorry.
- No fighting!
- Yes.
Little brat.
We are not allowed to fight here.
Let's compete in the playground
if you have guts.
He was a sports champion
from St. Joseph College in Shanghai.
Sai Yuk, you are not used to
these foreign games.
Nonsense!
But he is good at martial arts.
Look, your brother is beating a retreat.
Stop it, he isn't
Fine, let's compete.
Eighteen feet. Next!
Well done!
But the next one is even better.
He has been the sports champion
of St. Joseph College for three years.
Twenty-two feet! Next!
He broke the record.
He is truly incredible.
Let's see the next one.
I don't have any record
or information about him.
Let's see.
Scared?
Hey, jump now!
You're so slow.
When will you reach your destination?
- Let me give you a hand.
- Why aren't you jumping?
He is jumping.
Amazing!
He has broken a new record!
- Bravo!
- He's so dashing.
Although you are a little ant,
I won't bully you.
Brat, the next race is a 400-meter relay.
I won't lose this one. Let's do it.
There should be four people in a relay.
We only have three.
What to do?
Miss, we need four people,
but we're only three.
Are you willing to help?
- Can I?
- Yes!
But I run slowly.
Are you slower than an ant?
- More or less the same.
- That's good enough.
- You run first!
- How about us?
Well, you run first.
Ready!
Go!
- Hurry up!
- Run faster!
- Hurry up!
- Run faster!
Run faster!
- I can't do it.
- You can!
Stand up!
Come on!
Run faster! We're losing.
Come on!
It's my turn!
Hurry!
- Look at his hair tail!
- Yes! It's straightened.
- Run faster!
- Come on!
- Run faster!
- Come on!
Wow! Flying stance.
Well done! Young man,
you've gained two championships.
You must join us next year.
You, St. Joseph's student, lose!
Thank you, Miss!
You have a share of this medal.
It's for you!
- How about you?
- This is a present from Tiger Lui.
I don't want it.
May I know your name?
- Chan
- Damn it!
What are you doing?
You made me lose face.
- Beat him!
- Yes!
I love fighting.
Come on!
Come on!
- Do you want some more?
- No.
Thank you.
Thank you for sparing time
to fight with me.
What are you fighting for?
- Who joined the fight?
- They did, I arrested them for you.
Thank you so much for your help.
- You're welcome.
- Take them away.
- Go!
- Take them away!
What?
- You too!
- What?
- Yes, go now!
- Are you kidding? I helped you.
Wait.
- Go!
- Don't push me!
LUI'S MANOR
Darn it! How dare he!
Does he have me in his eyes?
How dare he offend me?
Go tell the magistrate!
Charge him with robbery.
- And chop his head off.
- Yes, Master!
Master, I've heard
many complaints about us recently.
So what?
Should I be scared?
Of course not, Master.
But as the saying goes,
we should adapt to local rules.
If we want to establish
our power in Canton,
we should mix with the people.
- But how?
- Master, I have an idea.
If you want to make a name
and establish power here,
you should organize a martial arts
competition to select a son-in-law.
But it's not fair to Ting Ting.
Master, you should be decisive.
The daughter would marry anyway.
She will eventually leave your family.
She won't remember her parents.
Master, think about this.
Did your parents-in-law
gain any benefits from you?
Damn it, what you said
is just what I have in mind.
I was about to propose it.
It's very wise of you, Master.
It's a deal!
Get Ting Ting a husband
through a martial arts competition.
MAGISTRATE OFFICE
Sai Yuk, this is bad.
They recorded our names.
What if this news gets out?
Right, if my father knows that,
it'll be troublesome!
Don't worry, I wrote us false names.
You are called Yuen Kwei.
You are called Lau Chun Wai.
How about you?
My name sounds great.
It's Wong
Jing.
Well, I have to go home now,
or my mother will teach me a lesson.
- See you.
- Sai Yuk!
Her curled hair is cute.
His dark glasses are funny too.
Well, isn't it black now?
Darn it! I can see nothing.
But it's really cool.
So she is blind!
Madam!
You scared me!
You look good with glasses!
Your voice is sexy!
- Are you really selling clothes here?
- Of course.
We have expensive clothes inside
and cheap clothes outside.
- What kind of cloth would you like?
- The one outside!
- That one?
- Yes.
I won't give it a damn.
Right, this one.
- This one?
- Yes! Thank you.
How many yards do you want?
I want
that much.
Here. Thank you.
- Here?
- No, here.
- Here?
- No, just that much.
- Here?
- Yes.
So little! Is it to wrap a dumpling?
CLOTHES STORE
How dare you steal?
Hey! You
Shut up!
- No! Mother, he
- Be polite!
It hurts!
- Mother, you are so cool.
- Get me the weight-measure.
Yes, Mother.
- What for?
- Our clothes are measured by weight.
Otherwise, you won't take so much.
Aren't you blind?
You are blind.
You thought I hit you by chance?
That shows I'm not in your good grace.
Want to escape, huh?
This is for you.
Mother, he's dead. We're in trouble!
- Don't worry, it's two cm to the mark.
- Really?
Let me take a look.
No blood, please!
Mother, you're wrong!
It's six millimeters to the mark.
He has a deep throat.
- He deserves it!
- Exactly.
I'm in a good mood,
let's take the afternoon off.
You took a day off yesterday
because you were in a bad mood.
You want to rest today
because of good mood?
Sure, your father is coming back today.
I can't concentrate.
Make it a day off.
Mother!
Mother, I met a very pretty girl today.
- Really?
- She has character.
Then, let's take
an extra holiday tomorrow.
Another day off?
Young Master.
- Young Master, bad news!
- What's the matter?
The magistrate has come.
He is talking with Master.
Oh no!
What is it?
I fought with someone today.
Don't panic,
your mother is here to help you.
Your Excellency.
Gentlemen.
I'll give you an explanation.
Master Fong, you're such a righteous man.
I feel ashamed.
- I assure you I will punish
- Wow, there are so many people here.
Your Excellency.
Gentlemen.
No matter what had happened,
I, Miu Tsui Fa, will be responsible.
Of course you should be responsible.
You beat that foreigner up.
And the clothes you sold me
last time were stinky.
She insulted my wife,
saying that she was fat,
and refused to sell her clothes.
She teased me, saying that I was stupid.
- She is too much!
- Tell me.
What's your explanation?
I would not have come back
if I knew I had to face this.
Macu.
- Get the cane.
- What? Not again!
Master, for my sake
For your sake?
Forget it. Hit her then.
Father, please forgive Mother.
Please hit me instead.
- Look at our son. How good he is.
- Is this Fong Manor?
- Is this Fong Manor?
- Yes.
- So you are Fong Sai Yuk, not Wong Jing!
- Why do you call him Wong Jing?
He was caught fighting this morning,
and in the magistrate's office,
he claimed to be Wong Jing.
You little scoundrel!
- Are you hurting?
- Yes!
I shielded you from most of your blows,
so don't cry for pain.
Mother, you are so good at martial arts,
but you just let Father beat you up.
I should give him some respect
in front of other people.
The status of a man in a family
is very precious and important.
- Yes, it's precious and important indeed.
- Get some sleep now.
Yes, Father.
I really don't know
how you teach your son.
He's a grown-up,
but he always depends on you.
You should let him be independent.
All you care about is your business.
If our son doesn't keep me company,
who would?
You listen to those gossiping fools
and beat me up in front of everybody.
You don't treat me as your wife at all.
Listen to me.
I won't.
Listen to me.
No, I won't!
The beauty put up the curtain.
- Oh God! He is reciting poetry again.
- And sits moody with furrowed brows.
We only see stains of her tears.
No one knows who she is hating.
I can't stand it!
He is so dashing!
Every time he recites poetry,
I'm so excited.
Oh no! I feel dizzy.
Am I wrong to scold you like this?
No!
Now, why don't you come to bed?
Yes.
"Our fist conquers the whole of Canton."
"Our kick subdues Suzhou and Hangzhou."
What kind of bluffing is this?
Master, how is my writing?
Once it is hung out,
so many people are gathered around it.
Ting Ting.
Ting Ting.
Father, I don't want to select my husband
through the martial arts competition.
Stop bothering me.
If you force me, I will run away.
Shut up, or I will beat you to death.
- Damn it!
- Master.
I think you shouldn't
force Ting Ting like this.
When I am talking, you shut up!
I do this to impress the local people.
Otherwise, I can't establish
my power here.
Do you understand?
- I understand!
- This is so funny.
Why are you laughing?
- I am not playing acting!
- It's so funny.
Damn it!
Mother, can you stand it?
Sure! I can still stand it.
- I can.
- Really?
- All right. Let's do it.
- Sure.
Sai Yuk, does it work?
It seems odd.
Do the foreigners do it like this?
It's like barbecue.
Sure, I saw foreigners do this.
Do this to my eyebrow later, all right?
Sure, I can do it anywhere.
It's awful!
I wonder if your father would love it
and recite a poem to me.
He will love it!
Maybe he will recite an English poem.
English poem?
Perhaps I would be more excited.
How is an English poem?
I know.
They keep saying, "Wonderful."
How do you know it?
- Josephine Siao taught me.
- Sai Yuk.
- Hurry up, your father is back.
- All right.
Quick!
Dear.
- What are you doing?
- Dear, don't come in.
I want to show you something nice.
- Hurry up!
- Mother, sit properly. Don't move.
- Sai Yuk!
- Wait, don't come in.
I'll be pretty soon.
- Shit.
- What is it?
- It's on fire.
- What?
What happened?
Please recite your poems.
I'm going to study.
I am going to town,
what do you want to buy?
It's such a nice hairstyle!
COMPETITION
Ladies and gentlemen!
I, Tiger Lui, is a newcomer to this town.
I want to stay peacefully
and happily with all of you.
So, I arrange this competition
to recruit a son-in-law.
Whoever gets the ribbon is the winner.
During the competition,
you cannot step on the floor.
Once you step on the floor, you lose.
If anybody can defeat my wife,
Lee Siu Wan,
he can marry my daughter, Lui Ting Ting.
If anyone is killed or hurt by my wife,
we won't be responsible.
Please welcome my wife,
Lee Siu Wan on stage!
She is pretty.
- Exactly.
- If she marries me,
I shall spend all my nights with her.
Can you stand it?
- If not, I can ask for your help.
- Okay, it's a deal. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Hurry!
They are real friends.
- Tell Fong Sai Yuk about this.
- Okay.
- Excuse me, please give way.
- Excuse me!
Where is Sai Yuk?
He is studying inside.
I am going to the factory.
Come home soon.
"After the storm,
numberless blossoms fall"
One, two, three, four, five!
Six! That much?
Who is it?
Sai Yuk, it's us. Come out.
Sai Yuk.
"Spring slumbers unaware of morn,
all around one hears the birds' call."
"After the storm,
numberless blossoms"
Father, you're here.
Sai Yuk, sit down.
- I have to leave for the town today.
- For how long?
I will miss you.
Study hard.
Yes.
Today is not suitable for studying!
- What's up?
- Tiger Lui
arranged a competition
to recruit a son-in-law.
His daughter is very pretty.
- Really?
- He said
he is the best martial artist in Canton,
Suzhou, and Hangzhou.
Damn, what a big mouth!
Sai Yuk, what should we do?
Well?
Keep on studying.
Are you kidding?
My father is inside.
If he knows that, he'll kill me.
Young Master, what are you doing?
Sai Yuk, should we just
let those jerks kick us around?
Sai Yuk, please come out.
You'll defeat them easily.
Come down quickly. Master is coming.
Macu!
- Take my place.
- No way!
- I'll be back soon.
- Hey!
I can't, I have to go to town with Master.
OUR FIST CONQUERS THE WHOLE OF CANTON.
OUR KICK SUBDUES SUZHOU AND HANGZHOU.
CANTON'S SPORTS COMPETITION
Great!
Master, bad news!
- What?
- Ting Ting disappeared.
What?
Well done!
Damn!
This is bad.
Come on.
Master, please don't. This won't work.
- It's not right. I'm still single.
- Don't stare!
- Is it all right this way?
- Of course.
Seriously.
Even you want to get a wife?
My heart longs for a pretty woman!
Ridiculous! How dare you say so.
Ladies and gentlemen.
It seems difficult
to find a true hero in Canton.
Rubbish!
Bravo
- Who are you?
- You don't know me, huh?
I'm one of the ten most outstanding
youngsters in Canton.
The Invincible Magic Fist, Fong Sai Yuk.
Little brat, you're quite good-looking.
But first, my wife must
put you to the test.
- Come on!
- No problem!
Siu Wan!
Give him a test!
OUR FIST CONQUERS THE WHOLE OF CANTON.
OUR KICK SUBDUES SUZHOU AND HANGZHOU.
Are you the trophy?
Not me, but my daughter!
- Let me peek at her.
- Fight with me first!
Lend me your head.
How dare you trick me?
My feet are not yet on the ground.
- Good job!
- You can do it!
Don't worry,
we'll play till one of us loses.
Now try my kick!
- My head.
- It's hurt! Oh, my neck!
What bad luck to be stepped by a woman.
- Great! Beat her!
- Sai Yuk, beat her.
- Can you make it?
- Sure, we can.
I can't! Get her down!
Hey, steady!
Oh, my neck!
I feel so dizzy!
- Honey, be careful!
- All right, I'll be careful!
Lend me your hair tail.
My hair! Hands off!
Beat her.
- Sai Yuk, knock her down!
- It's a special request by the audience.
Catch my wife.
They have some helpers.
- What should we do now?
- Don't panic. The more, the merrier.
Be careful, guys!
I'll destroy your footholds.
Bo, come and help.
Sai Yuk, we support you.
We support you spiritually!
You Cantonese are not united at all.
- Are you okay?
- Sure! I am all right.
Me too!
Do you want to support yourself
with those two guys?
Without those six men supporting you,
can you hold it that long?
Fight!
If you can beat her,
you'll be my son-in-law.
Beat her!
Your men are getting tired.
Let's fight.
How dare you pull my hair!
I'll attack your eyes in return.
Watch my kick.
- Go to hell.
- Watch mine!
My eye is hurt.
- Are you all right?
- I am fine.
- Come on!
- Beat them.
Beat them!
I'll bite you to death.
Hold it!
Bo is getting beaten.
I'll help!
I'm coming!
I can't stand it anymore.
Sai Yuk, don't disappoint us.
I have never disappointed you.
Watch it!
Help me get up.
Madam!
- Don't fall down!
- I am lucky to have gotten ahold of it.
Come, kick me.
- I lost! I surrender!
- Sai Yuk, how can you let us down?
But if I didn't do so,
I would have let myself down.
How come you lost?
I am sorry, I lost!
Miss, I am sorry, I lost.
Kid, we may talk
Damn it!
The most outstanding youngster
of Canton lost! Let's make another bet!
Lost again!
Is there an outstanding
youngster in Canton?
You're exaggerating.
That's why I have some extra customers.
I want to make another bet.
Let's see who will be the final winner.
If you want to win, get my son to fight.
It's useless, Fong Sai Yuk just lost.
How dare he claim himself as
the most outstanding youngster in Canton.
I think the Fong family
is no longer number one here.
Seriously. How could you lose?
Gentlemen.
Anyone else
wants to come over for a fight?
If not, let's call an end today.
Wait!
There is money on the ground!
Let's pick up the money!
Lend me your back!
- I want to challenge you.
- Great!
- May I know your name?
- Beauty, may I know your name?
Don't feel shy.
I am Mrs. Lui,
the mother of Lui Ting Ting.
If you can defeat me,
I'll be your mother-in-law.
Why not marry the mother-in-law too?
What a big mouth!
Well? What do you think?
Stop, or you will fall down.
Who are you? How dare you?
Darn it!
Read my lips. It should be, "Damn it!"
I'm the invincible martial arts master,
the elder brother of Fong Sai Yuk.
My name is Fong Tai Yuk.
Damn it! You brothers are braggarts.
I wonder if your martial arts skills
are really that amazing.
Leave the question to Madam,
she will answer you later.
Why such a big fuss
just to get hold of the ribbon?
I will get it now!
Good footwork!
So is yours.
Madam, why are you holding my leg?
You have a smooth face.
Madam, you needn't be so nervous.
Thank you.
Madam, you are heavy.
Don't worry, I am here.
Why don't you come up? I'll help you.
Come up! The ribbon!
Be careful!
A secret attack? Oh no!
Madam!
Madam, we are on the ground now.
Are you all right?
I am fine!
But I am not!
She is my wife, do you know that?
Please remember this.
The Fong family has always
been number one in Canton.
And also the Lui family.
Stop touching me.
We are family now.
I only come to fight,
not for your daughter.
How about my daughter?
I don't want her.
Kid, repeat that if you dare!
I want to marry her!
Read my lips.
"I don't want her!"
You won the competition,
so you must marry my daughter.
Or I will ask the magistrate
to arrest you!
- Damn!
- Damn what?
Don't touch my face!
If you ruin my face
I want your fingerprint.
So you won't deny the deal.
Press on it!
MARRIAGE AGREEMEN- Who caught my staff?
- Your mother.
Mother, you look handsome.
I did this for you.
I pretended to be your elder brother
to save face for you.
Get me a bag.
What for?
I won the martial arts competition.
Lui forced me to marry his daughter.
So I should leave at once.
Mother, you are great!
Lesbian?
What?
Shit, they are coming.
What now?
- Let's fight them.
- Yes!
Watch mine.
Fong Tai Yuk, I am coming.
Fong Tai Yuk.
Fong Tai Yuk.
Fong Tai Yuk!
HUAIDE PAVILION
- Search!
- Yes!
- They are inside, search!
- Search!
I told you to search,
what are you looking for?
- Go search!
- Yes!
Hurry!
Damn it!
Fong Tai Yuk.
Why are you crying?
Where is Fong Tai Yuk?
- He is dead!
- Dead? How come?
He died on the street!
What? Where is his corpse?
- It's burned.
- I can recognize him, even in ashes.
Let me see.
Really? Are you still
interested in the ashes?
- Mother.
- Look. The ashes.
Take it.
Mother, run!
Don't go!
- You are a man.
- Of course.
Aren't you a man?
Don't move. Or I'll kill him.
Son, why are you holding a banana?
- Isn't it a knife?
- Banana?
Catch him!
- Freeze!
- Don't go!
- He's up there!
- Halt!
- After him!
- Come down, do you hear?
Mother!
Forget about me, run for your life.
No, I will be punished by God
if I leave like this.
I am coming.
- Why is it so?
- Since we can't get your elder son,
we will take your younger son
as a substitute.
Master, we've found Young Lady.
- It's destiny.
- Hey!
Let's wait until my husband comes back
to hold the wedding.
Sure!
I'll let them sleep together first
and then have the wedding.
Go!
- Go away!
- Don't block the way!
- You've gone too much!
- Hand Sai Yuk out.
- Release him!
- Listen!
Leave here at once.
If you stay, you'll be arrested.
- Let him go!
- Release him!
- Your Excellency.
- Master Lui.
What is it?
The people outside are all furious.
I heard
that the governor will come soon.
- Your Excellency, what should I do?
- It's simple.
Get your son-in-law
to get married in front of the people,
saying that he is willing to do so.
Then, we won't have any problem
if the governor comes.
Okay, I'll force him to say he's willing.
No way. We should not use force
but virtuous persuasion.
- Then we won't get into trouble.
- Right, virtuous persuasion.
WEDDING
I'm the outstanding youngster in Canton.
I won't lose my virginity to her.
If he dares touch me, I will kill him.
She still pretends to be a decent lady.
She makes me puke.
Let me prank her.
He's coming.
I want to scare you to death.
Don't come any nearer.
Are you kidding? Do you want to kill me?
That's too much!
What do you want?
Listen! You can have my body
but not my heart.
I already have someone in my heart.
Me too. I won't marry you.
I won't marry you too.
Okay, swear! What if you marry me?
My family will all die.
CANTON'S SPORTS COMPETITION
- What is this?
- Give it back to me.
Why do you keep such rubbish with you?
Idiot!
Listen.
I won't sleep with you.
Don't beg me, I won't come back.
I didn't come to beg you.
What did you come for?
In fact, our situations are the same.
I was taken as Tiger Lui's maid at 12.
I have been his concubine since I was 16.
I am the same as you.
I have had no romance before marriage.
We're different. You are happy, at least.
You were willing to marry him.
I am forced to do so.
These 20 years,
I think I am happy.
I married a rich husband
and have a good daughter.
After seeing your brother on stage,
I realize that I am lying to myself.
Actually,
I need
What do you need?
- Love!
- What? Are you fond of my brother?
I know he is still alive.
If you see your brother again,
please give this letter to him.
Aren't you afraid of Tiger Lui?
For love, I fear nothing.
Mrs. Fong, you are great.
You've won a girl's heart.
Actually, my brother is
I know you are better than your brother.
Oh, it's you!
- What do you want?
- Nothing, I just want you to know that
I, Tiger Lui, is a man
of virtuous persuasion.
I don't want to make you
to be my son-in-law by force.
We should explore each other's advantages.
Perhaps we will find
that we have many common interests.
Common interests?
- Yeah!
- Really?
I won't be angry.
Virtuous persuasion.
Virtuous persuasion.
Virtuous persuasion.
Damn! Why is it so noisy?
I want to be a man of virtuous persuasion.
I practice singing early in the morning
while beating the drum.
Singing can help me to win a wife.
It's great.
Where's your mother?
Giving birth to you is her fault.
Beating drum makes me healthy.
I am going to destroy your family.
Your mother is not mine.
Let's beat the drum.
Singing can help me to win a wife.
It's great.
It's better if your mother
didn't give birth to you.
Beating drum makes me healthy.
I am going to destroy this house.
Your mother is not my mother.
My mother is not my mother.
You've gained weight.
I always eat, that's why I gain weight.
Have you lost your virginity?
No!
That's good.
Why didn't you escape?
I don't know your situation.
If I escape, you might get into trouble.
And I am tailed by so many people.
I can't escape.
What a good boy.
I checked the way of escape
when I entered.
I will save you tonight.
Then, we will burn our house.
They will think that both of us are dead.
Then we will go to town for your father.
Let's lie to them
for the rest of their lives.
We'll never come back.
No one will know about it.
- What?
- Mother, you look so wicked.
Someone wants me to send you this letter.
Who is it?
Your girlfriend.
MR. FONG TAI YUK
LUI
Siu Wan,
I will meet an important guest
with the magistrate tonight.
I will be home late. You go to bed first.
- Mother, dogs!
- Nothing to be afraid of!
Did you offend the female dog?
Don't chase me!
- It's horrible to be chased by the dogs!
- Mother, run!
Why did you offend the dogs? Darn it!
This way!
Who is it? How dare you
break into Lui's Manor?
Bite him!
Madam!
Stop!
Tai Yuk, it's you.
That's right! It's me.
Ask your dogs to leave us alone.
So they can't hear our talk.
Sure.
One, Two, Three, Four. Go back!
Hurry up!
- Tai Yuk!
- Don't come over.
I am afraid I can't accept your love.
Since I received your letter,
I have been suffering thinking of you.
I can't stand it any longer.
So I come to see you now.
"The beauty put up the curtain.
She sits with furrowed brows.
One sees only the stain of tears.
Who is it that she hates?"
Madam, this poem is
specially written for you.
He knows how to write a poem.
There is noise.
- Go and check it out!
- Madam, I have to go now.
See you.
Tai Yuk!
- Tai Yuk!
- Madam, what's the matter?
Nothing, why are you here?
Who asked you to come here?
It's wise to leave now.
It's you? It's me!
You
It's you!
Miss Chan, have you also
been kidnapped by Tiger Lui?
Yes, how about you?
Me too.
I tried to find you
in the field afterward.
Me too. I waited for a long time.
You didn't come, so I left.
You mean you were waiting for me?
She waited for me.
Do you want this gold medal?
You always take this along with you?
I heard a noise over there.
- Did you find anyone?
- I didn't.
I am afraid they will find me.
I have to go now.
Watch out, there are dogs.
If I leave like this,
I can never see Miss Chan again.
Fong Sai Yuk is here, come and get him.
Fong Sai Yuk is here, come!
The purpose of my visit
is to destroy the rebels,
the Red Flower Society.
I have got a clue that
they'll appear here.
I hope
once you get any information
about the rebels,
come and inform me right away.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Don't worry, Your Excellency.
I will try my best.
My heart is devoted to the government.
Your Excellency,
please accept my small gifts.
Master Lui, please help me!
What?
My husband returned from town yesterday.
He did not see his son
and got angry with me.
Look, he beat me up.
He even burned my hand.
- Alas! Poor me!
- It's none of my business.
I'm here to beg you
to let Sai Yuk go back to see his father
for just one day.
One day will do. One day.
If Mr. Fong really misses his son,
he may come and visit him.
Or come and live here.
Then he can see him every day.
You are too cruel.
Fine, I will kill myself in front of you.
Where is the wall?
Where is the wall?
- Mrs. Fong, don't do that.
- I will kill myself.
Leave me alone.
Master, just let Sai Yuk
go back for one day.
I don't believe she will
bump her head against the wall.
Let her try.
I'm sure she won't.
- I will die in front of you. Tai Yuk!
- Tai Yuk?
- Tai Yuk, Mother is going to die.
- Don't!
- Tai Yuk, Mother is going to die.
- Master.
You are a man of virtuous persuasion,
aren't you?
- Mrs. Fong, please don't!
- A man of virtuous persuasion? Yeah.
Take him home now,
and bring him back tomorrow.
Thank you, Master.
She is there.
Mother, is Father back?
It is a lie.
Pack up,
we are going to look for your father.
Okay!
He is back.
He seems angry.
Stop.
Why didn't you tell me about the wedding?
How can you be his mother?
You made a fuss
when I was gone for a few days.
- How can I face our ancestors?
- Father.
- I
- Shut up!
It's none of his business.
I should be blamed.
It's all my fault.
I don't know how to teach my son.
I can't face your ancestors. Let me die.
- Let me die!
- Mother.
- Don't stop me!
- Don't!
- Mother, it's your second time today.
- Leave me alone.
- Leave me alone.
- Enough. I have to do something first.
I will go see Tiger Lui tomorrow.
What? Hey!
I am going to die,
and you are leaving just like this?
Why don't you save me? You're heartless.
This is for you.
A razor!
It's for me!
It's for me to shave my legs.
Mother, it's raining.
Let's get an umbrella for your father.
Yes.
Come and take a look!
Why is it raining so heavily?
- Be careful!
- This umbrella is broken. Use this.
Mother, the rain has stopped.
- Someone is inside.
- What?
Fine, don't cry.
You jerk!
Mother, calm down.
I don't want to live anymore.
Don't be silly.
You are pregnant.
They even have a child.
Don't worry. I am responsible.
I will take care of him.
- We are responsible too.
- What? She has so many men.
Why should Father take
the responsibility alone?
If Fourth Brother hadn't tried to save me,
Lok Ping wouldn't have lost her husband.
And I couldn't bring this list out.
Oh, Father does not have a mistress.
- I was almost scared to death.
- Mother, voice down!
Who is it? Come out!
Don't go!
- What kind of noise is that?
- Firecracker!
- Firecracker?
- Yes.
Your hands are trembling.
You don't seem to be a martial artist.
I just don't understand.
Why did you join the rebels?
We work for different bosses.
To you, Chien Lung is a good emperor,
but to us, he isn't.
If you hand me the list,
you will enjoy a prosperous life forever.
You want me to give up
thousands of lives for my wealth.
Even if I am willing to do so,
my brothers won't let me do it.
Even if they are willing,
my wife won't forgive me either.
Sai Yuk and I will forgive you.
Where is he?
Attack!
Father!
To me, my father is a good person.
So I want to beat you.
Let's go!
How dare you bully my husband? Go to hell!
Mother!
Watch mine!
- Father, where is the list?
- Here it is.
Invisible Fists.
What are you doing?
Sai Yuk, save Lok Ping.
Your mother can handle it.
Be careful!
Miss Lok, are you all right?
Hero, help your father
to protect the list.
Don't worry, I won't let you down.
See you again.
Take care of yourself.
Sai Yuk, we are leaving.
Take care of things here.
- Don't worry.
- How dare you join a secret society.
It hurts!
Come on!
It doesn't hurt!
It does not?
It doesn't hurt, huh?
My father used to hit me like this.
Let me tell you.
I used to hit my dog like this.
Brat.
An inch longer, an inch stronger.
Mine is short but powerful!
Run?
You have nowhere to run!
See you again next time!
Father.
- Sai Yuk, are you tailed?
- Don't worry.
I haven't been practicing
martial arts in vain.
Where is Mother?
You must have quarreled.
Mother, are you all right?
He has never treated me
that nicely before.
He recited ten poems for me.
Ten poems? That's great!
Leave me alone, stop bothering me.
He's so dashing.
How romantic!
Sai Yuk.
I have chosen this path,
so you and your mother would have
a hard life from now on.
If I am having a good life alone,
how about the others?
Even if I wish to do so,
the others would object.
Even if the others are willing to do so,
what about my feelings then?
But if the others and I agree, so what?
No matter what,
your choice is always correct.
I will go with you all the way.
I don't know what you are talking about.
But I, too, will go along.
Since you have made up your mind,
let's move to Lui's Manor.
It's dangerous.
The most dangerous place
is the safest place.
Got it!
- What? You want to move to my manor?
- Yes.
Actually, I don't want to do so,
but my wife said you are
a man of virtuous persuasion.
Even my naughty son admires you so much.
I want to see for myself.
So I agreed to come
and live here for a while
to see if it's true.
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
So help yourself.
I will let you stay until you believe it.
Young Lady.
Greet your parents-in-law.
Go.
Honey, I miss you.
I am not your wife. Your wife is there.
- It's you!
- It's you!
You lost some weight.
You too.
Your son is really romantic.
Like father, like son.
Come on.
What's the matter?
This mirror is our family treasure.
- It's a present to you.
- Thank Mother now.
Thank you, Mother.
Since all of us are here,
why not take this opportunity
to celebrate their wedding tomorrow?
I am sorry.
It doesn't matter.
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
Go ahead, until you think it's enough.
I don't have any friends in Canton.
Why not ask your relatives
to join the wedding banquet?
Can you ask Tai Yuk to join us?
It doesn't matter,
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
I don't mind that!
Impressive!
- It doesn't matter.
- Let's have some rest now.
There will be many guests coming here.
Let's impress our guests
and be a man of virtuous persuasion.
WEDDING
Why didn't your relatives or friends come?
Well, we do have a big family.
But they are all over the country
doing business.
I can't inform them about the banquet
in such a short time.
What about your friends?
Say, friends in the market.
Well, my dear father-in-law.
We grow the vegetables ourselves,
we needn't go to the market.
- How about rice?
- We grow our rice too.
How about your customers?
Are they not your friends?
No, they aren't our friends.
If not, I won't sell them bad clothes
or charge them with unreasonable prices.
Selling clothes is more or less
similar to running a brothel.
If a customer wants to buy,
we are willing to sell.
It won't do to become affectionate.
So, we don't have friends.
Am I right?
Perfect!
Master, the magistrate is here.
Finally, a guest! Show him in.
Don't panic, it's just the magistrate.
- It's just the magistrate.
- Master Lui.
Your Excellency!
His Excellency, the governor, is here.
Your Excellency.
- This way, please.
- Welcome.
Let's meet our guest together.
- Come.
- All right.
Your Excellency, this way, please.
Welcome.
- Welcome.
- This is my son-in-law
- and his family.
- Greetings, Your Excellency.
- Your Excellency, here.
- Take a seat, please.
- This way, please.
- Slowly.
After you.
- Please take a seat.
- Your Excellency, please.
Why are you sitting there?
- Come and sit with us.
- No, it's too crowded.
We better sit here.
Nonsense!
We have many empty seats here. Come on.
- I dropped my money.
- Where is it? Let me help you.
- Master Fong, don't sit alone.
- Come over.
- Where is it?
- Where is the money?
I can't find it.
- When did you come?
- I have just come over.
- Master Lui.
- Yes?
What is your son-in-law doing?
What are you doing? Get up!
Your favorite dish is here.
Come on.
Eat up.
Mother, towards your right.
Don't let him see me.
Is he your son-in-law?
Master Lui, answer His Excellency.
- Fong Sai Yuk is my son-in-law.
- So, are you the one in charge here?
Yes, I am the one in charge here.
- Give me the list!
- Dear, watch out!
Siu Wan!
- Mother!
- Ting Ting!
Where is the name list?
I want to kill you!
Mother!
Let's fight!
Go!
Siu Wan!
Master, be careful!
- Go!
- Yes!
Take him back.
Burn the manor.
Damn it! I'm so pissed!
I married my daughter to you,
but you get my whole family into trouble.
Master Lui, it's not
my young master's fault.
Shut up, or I will kill you.
Let him go. Otherwise, don't blame me.
Damn it! You want to fight?
- What do you want?
- Young Master, forget it.
Father! Mother seems to be suffering.
Damn!
Siu Wan!
- Ting Ting!
- Mother!
Where is your father?
Siu Wan, are you all right?
- Hurry up.
- Do you need a doctor?
I know what to do!
Come on.
Leave me alone.
- Let me help you.
- Don't touch her!
- She is seriously injured.
- Siu Wan. Let's go!
Be careful. You're not familiar
with the place.
- Do you want me to take you to the doctor?
- Save the crocodile tears.
Let's go our separate ways from now on.
Father, please don't like this.
We're not familiar with the place.
Are you leaving?
If not, you're no longer my daughter.
Ting Ting!
Go!
Go! Go now!
Sai Yuk, I feel so lost.
Mother, don't worry.
While the list is with us,
they won't do anything to Father.
- I am going to town.
- Be careful.
- Xing!
- Who is it?
It's Sai Yuk.
Open the door now.
Come in.
I have seen the notice
that my father will be executed tomorrow.
Many people were caught because of us.
I come to see if you are okay.
I am fine.
I am fine.
- I am fine.
- What's wrong?
Sai Yuk, I am sorry.
Don't cry first. Tell me what happened.
They took Bo and me for questioning.
I said I didn't know you.
So, I was released.
Where is Bo?
He said I was a coward.
He refused to say that he didn't know you.
So he was beaten up.
The officers were tired,
they wanted Bo to kowtow
before releasing him.
Bo refused.
Where is he now?
He was beaten to death.
And his corpse is hanging
at the East Gate.
Sai Yuk,
forgive me.
I am scared.
I won't blame you.
I lost a friend, I don't want to lose you.
Who is it?
What are you doing?
I came to collect his corpse.
Who are you? How dare you?
I'm Fong Sai Yuk.
Fong Sai Yuk?
How dare you come here?
Aren't you afraid of death?
My friend is not afraid of death.
He said he was my friend.
How can I be a coward?
So I'm here for his corpse.
- Attack.
- Yes!
Bo,
let's fight together.
Kowtow three times to my friend.
- Mercy, please!
- Please forgive us.
Bo,
let's go.
Please forgive us.
Please let us go.
Bo,
you are always my best friend.
I hope we'll be buddies again
in our next lives.
Young Master, don't be so sad.
Macu.
My father will be executed tomorrow.
What? He'll be executed tomorrow?
I've decided to save him alone.
You take my mother and leave
early tomorrow morning.
How can you go alone? It's too dangerous.
- Please don't go.
- Enough!
I have made up my mind.
Never let my mother know this.
Macu!
Don't cry.
Let's go back,
my mother is waiting for us.
Let's go.
- Are there any updates about your father?
- He'll be fine, don't worry.
Father was rescued by Chan Ka Lok,
the Head of the Red Flower Society.
Really?
I won't lie to you.
- Why didn't he come back?
- Mr. Chan said
it's not wise to stay together.
He'll meet you and Macu at Puishi Beach
tomorrow morning.
Isn't there a branch of
the Red Flower Society at Puishi Beach?
You dumb-bell, tell my mother now.
Right, I went there
with Master Fong a year ago.
What about you?
Mr. Chan asked me to take
this name list to Longfu Hill
and hand it to Mr. Chiu.
You know Mr. Chiu
in Longfu Hill, right? Speak up!
- Speak up!
- That's right.
A year ago, I met him once with Master.
We dined together.
He is a nice guy.
- Am I right?
- You are right!
Well, I don't have to worry anymore.
- That's great.
- Go to hell!
- Damn you, Cantonese!
- Mother!
They said they'd fetch me the doctor.
But they told the officers
to come and arrest me.
You Cantonese are all stupid!
- Dear, how are you?
- Mother, are you all right?
Ting Ting!
Ting Ting!
I'm fine.
- It's pouring, let's get on board first.
- Leave me alone!
I won't get on your boat!
I warn you, don't come to my side.
Father!
Shut up!
Ting Ting.
She is badly injured.
Why are you so stubborn?
Ting Ting, go with them.
I'll stay here
to keep your father company.
Don't be proud at a time like this.
Damn it, enough already!
I said I would not go with you.
But I didn't say my family wouldn't.
Help her up.
Be careful.
Slowly.
Watch out.
Take care of her!
Be careful.
God, what the hell did I do wrong?
Why do you treat me like this?
God is punishing you for your sins.
I ask you once more,
are you getting into the boat?
No!
- Mother!
- Hold it!
- Mother.
- Sai Yuk.
Take Ting Ting out for a while.
I want to talk
to your mother.
Go now!
Good boy.
Mrs. Fong, I have one thing to ask you.
What's the matter?
Where is Tai Yuk?
He is here.
"The beauty pulls the curtain up."
"She sits with furrowed brows.
One sees the stains of tears.
Who is she crying for?"
Madam, it's me.
Tai Yuk.
Are you Tai Yuk?
Yes.
We can't be together in this life.
But we'll be husband and wife
in the next life,
all right?
All right.
- Madam!
- Mother!
Siu Wan!
Although you scolded me all day,
I am not angry with you.
Once my father-in-law,
you'd be my father-in-law for life.
When you reach Puishi Beach tomorrow,
the officers can never get you.
Siu Wan!
Siu Wan!
Sai Yuk. After you finish your mission,
come and join us.
Young Master. Take care.
Macu, why are you crying?
He's just going to deliver the name list.
He's not going to die.
I have caught a cold.
Cut the crap, go now.
- Hurry up, Father is waiting.
- Yes!
- Sai Yuk!
- What's the matter?
Can you swear?
What?
Swear that you will never
see me as your wife, okay?
But why?
- Remember our bridal night?
- What?
You swore that if you marry me,
your family would
Would all die, I remembered.
I don't care.
No matter what happens,
you'll always be my wife.
My husband used to kiss me like that.
Hey!
Did your wife kiss you like that before?
Forget what I said.
My bad.
Wear this!
How about you?
I have this.
- So you take it along.
- It's time to leave.
Take care.
Sai Yuk, take care.
Take care!
Take a horse.
It's better than walking on foot.
Beware of catching a cold.
Remember to eat on time.
You take care too.

How many can you kill?
Very well.
I will kill as many as I can.
Execute him!

- Yeah, he's a good person.
This is so unfair.
- How pitiful!
- I know, right?
Kill!
- Here is the list!
- Great!
I, Fong Sai Yuk, will fight

I'll live and die with the list.

Sai Yuk!
Don't come over. Or I'll light it on fire.
Retreat!
Fong Sai Yuk, you have guts!
Aren't you afraid of death?
I am prepared to be killed.
Give me the name list,
and then you
and your father will be released.
Sai Yuk!
Sai Yuk, don't give it to him.
You should know how the wind blows.
Just give me the name list,
and I can guarantee you
a prosperous future.
Do you think I'm stupid?
If I gave you the list,
I would be a traitor.
My father won't forgive me,
my mother will kill me.
The citizens will scold me.
History will give me a bad name.
I won't betray my people!
- Great!
- Well said!
You have guts, I like your kind.
If we are not serving different bosses,
we can be friends.
All right, I'll give you a chance.
If you can defeat me
before the rope breaks,
I will let your father go.
If you lose,
give me the name list.
I used one-third of my strength last time.
I think you are so gifted in martial arts
that I want to introduce you
to serve our government.
But I don't think there is a chance now.
I know every kind of boxing.
I wanted to make you my student.
Since you bullied my father,
I don't think there is any chance now.
Luckily, I am protected by the mirror.
Go to hell!
Take it!
Sai Yuk!
Go now!
I won't go!
Sai Yuk!
I am happy to see you so grown up.
Just leave me.
Our country is waiting for you.
I feel at ease even if I have to die.
Go now!
What I can do, many people can do too.
But I only have one father.
- Sai Yuk, go!
- Father!
I want to die with you.
Fong Sai Yuk, I am coming to help you!
I come to help too!
Use some force!
- Let's go!

Mr. Chan, you are really great.
I admire you so much.
But
my master told me
to bring your corpse back.
Super shoes!
Watch mine!
Mother!
Fong, I will take Sai Yuk
as my foster son.
I will train him well.
Thank you, Mr. Chan.
I leave my son to you.
Mr. Damn!
Oh, sorry! Mr. Chan!
Take care of him, please.
He has never left me since he was a child.
Mr. Chan, we have to bid farewell now.
Foster Father,
may I take Ting Ting with me?
Sure you can.
Are you really willing
to let your son join the triads?
What do you think?
- Fine, just as you say.
- Ting Ting, let's go.
Father.
Don't bully my daughter.
Or I will beat you.
Don't worry, I won't bully her.
You should take me as an example.
- To be a man of virtuous persuasion.
- Yes!
Father! May I beg you for one thing?
- What?
- I've never seen you smile.
Can you smile for me once?
Make it next year.
Sai Yuk, follow me.
Father, take care.
Let's go!
Sai Yuk, take care!
You'll be good to me, won't you?
"The beauty put up the curtain.
She sits with furrowed brows.
Only stains of her tears are seen.
Who is she hating?"
Son, your father is laughing!
How romantic. I am so happy!

Catch it!

- Protect His Majesty!
- Yes!
Red Flower Society
will take revenge tonight.
- Let's go!
- Yes!
Chan Ka Lok?
- How dare you kill me? I'm the emperor.
- You belong to the Han race.
Yet you have become a Manchu emperor.
I want to kill you on behalf
of the Han people tonight.
Your Majesty, please take care!
Why can't I ever have a sound sleep?
We should be punished.
Listen!
I want to see Governor Oryeetor.
Did you come to buy a sword?
- No.
- What do you want then?
My master is suffering
from serious insomnia.
He should see a physician.
I am only a blacksmith.
It's useless to see a physician.
My master said,
only when the demon
in his dream is killed
could he sleep peacefully.
Who is your master?
My master is Emperor Chien Lung.
Five days ago,
I killed a member of
the Red Flower Society.
What?
Did you kill our Fourth Brother?
I found a letter on his body
saying that the name list
of the Red Flower Society
is kept by a blacksmith.
Right, but I already sent it away.
You will never get it.
- Really?
- I want to avenge him!
- Search!
- Yes!
Tiger Lui is so rich.
I wonder what business
he is running in Shandong.
He used to be a bandit.
Rumor has it that he sponsors
this sports competition.
So what if he's rich?
He did so many bad things.
He bought a lot of land,
causing the value of the land here
to increase significantly.
What to do? He is in league
with the magistrate.
That's why he is so cocky.
What can we poor people do?
Young Lady, let's go home.
So, Father is a bastard
in the eyes of these people.
Young Lady, do you only know it now?
Will we be recognized?
Don't worry, no one knows us. Let's go.
That girl is pretty. Go and tease her.
- Come on.
- Let's go!
Shall we stay and have a look?
No, let's go home now.
- Miss, are you alone?
- What do you want?
- Let us accompany you.
- Go away!
Come on.
So she's from the North.
She looks so pretty!
Don't bully me, I know Cantonese!
That's even better. So we can communicate.
Don't touch my sister!
Your sister?
I know him, he is bullshitting.
- He has no sister.
- I know you too.
You are a pimp.
- How dare you insult my boss?
- Beat him!
Come on!
- You dare fight with our boss?
- Beat him!
Come on!
Do you want to be put in jail?
It's not his fault.
This is the first day I reported for duty.
Give me some face.
Let's see if he gives some face or not.
Damn it, how dare you fight here?
- Do you want to go to jail?
- I am sorry.
- No fighting!
- Yes.
Little brat.
We are not allowed to fight here.
Let's compete in the playground
if you have guts.
He was a sports champion
from St. Joseph College in Shanghai.
Sai Yuk, you are not used to
these foreign games.
Nonsense!
But he is good at martial arts.
Look, your brother is beating a retreat.
Stop it, he isn't
Fine, let's compete.
Eighteen feet. Next!
Well done!
But the next one is even better.
He has been the sports champion
of St. Joseph College for three years.
Twenty-two feet! Next!
He broke the record.
He is truly incredible.
Let's see the next one.
I don't have any record
or information about him.
Let's see.
Scared?
Hey, jump now!
You're so slow.
When will you reach your destination?
- Let me give you a hand.
- Why aren't you jumping?
He is jumping.
Amazing!
He has broken a new record!
- Bravo!
- He's so dashing.
Although you are a little ant,
I won't bully you.
Brat, the next race is a 400-meter relay.
I won't lose this one. Let's do it.
There should be four people in a relay.
We only have three.
What to do?
Miss, we need four people,
but we're only three.
Are you willing to help?
- Can I?
- Yes!
But I run slowly.
Are you slower than an ant?
- More or less the same.
- That's good enough.
- You run first!
- How about us?
Well, you run first.
Ready!
Go!
- Hurry up!
- Run faster!
- Hurry up!
- Run faster!
Run faster!
- I can't do it.
- You can!
Stand up!
Come on!
Run faster! We're losing.
Come on!
It's my turn!
Hurry!
- Look at his hair tail!
- Yes! It's straightened.
- Run faster!
- Come on!
- Run faster!
- Come on!
Wow! Flying stance.
Well done! Young man,
you've gained two championships.
You must join us next year.
You, St. Joseph's student, lose!
Thank you, Miss!
You have a share of this medal.
It's for you!
- How about you?
- This is a present from Tiger Lui.
I don't want it.
May I know your name?
- Chan
- Damn it!
What are you doing?
You made me lose face.
- Beat him!
- Yes!
I love fighting.
Come on!
Come on!
- Do you want some more?
- No.
Thank you.
Thank you for sparing time
to fight with me.
What are you fighting for?
- Who joined the fight?
- They did, I arrested them for you.
Thank you so much for your help.
- You're welcome.
- Take them away.
- Go!
- Take them away!
What?
- You too!
- What?
- Yes, go now!
- Are you kidding? I helped you.
Wait.
- Go!
- Don't push me!
LUI'S MANOR
Darn it! How dare he!
Does he have me in his eyes?
How dare he offend me?
Go tell the magistrate!
Charge him with robbery.
- And chop his head off.
- Yes, Master!
Master, I've heard
many complaints about us recently.
So what?
Should I be scared?
Of course not, Master.
But as the saying goes,
we should adapt to local rules.
If we want to establish
our power in Canton,
we should mix with the people.
- But how?
- Master, I have an idea.
If you want to make a name
and establish power here,
you should organize a martial arts
competition to select a son-in-law.
But it's not fair to Ting Ting.
Master, you should be decisive.
The daughter would marry anyway.
She will eventually leave your family.
She won't remember her parents.
Master, think about this.
Did your parents-in-law
gain any benefits from you?
Damn it, what you said
is just what I have in mind.
I was about to propose it.
It's very wise of you, Master.
It's a deal!
Get Ting Ting a husband
through a martial arts competition.
MAGISTRATE OFFICE
Sai Yuk, this is bad.
They recorded our names.
What if this news gets out?
Right, if my father knows that,
it'll be troublesome!
Don't worry, I wrote us false names.
You are called Yuen Kwei.
You are called Lau Chun Wai.
How about you?
My name sounds great.
It's Wong
Jing.
Well, I have to go home now,
or my mother will teach me a lesson.
- See you.
- Sai Yuk!
Her curled hair is cute.
His dark glasses are funny too.
Well, isn't it black now?
Darn it! I can see nothing.
But it's really cool.
So she is blind!
Madam!
You scared me!
You look good with glasses!
Your voice is sexy!
- Are you really selling clothes here?
- Of course.
We have expensive clothes inside
and cheap clothes outside.
- What kind of cloth would you like?
- The one outside!
- That one?
- Yes.
I won't give it a damn.
Right, this one.
- This one?
- Yes! Thank you.
How many yards do you want?
I want
that much.
Here. Thank you.
- Here?
- No, here.
- Here?
- No, just that much.
- Here?
- Yes.
So little! Is it to wrap a dumpling?
CLOTHES STORE
How dare you steal?
Hey! You
Shut up!
- No! Mother, he
- Be polite!
It hurts!
- Mother, you are so cool.
- Get me the weight-measure.
Yes, Mother.
- What for?
- Our clothes are measured by weight.
Otherwise, you won't take so much.
Aren't you blind?
You are blind.
You thought I hit you by chance?
That shows I'm not in your good grace.
Want to escape, huh?
This is for you.
Mother, he's dead. We're in trouble!
- Don't worry, it's two cm to the mark.
- Really?
Let me take a look.
No blood, please!
Mother, you're wrong!
It's six millimeters to the mark.
He has a deep throat.
- He deserves it!
- Exactly.
I'm in a good mood,
let's take the afternoon off.
You took a day off yesterday
because you were in a bad mood.
You want to rest today
because of good mood?
Sure, your father is coming back today.
I can't concentrate.
Make it a day off.
Mother!
Mother, I met a very pretty girl today.
- Really?
- She has character.
Then, let's take
an extra holiday tomorrow.
Another day off?
Young Master.
- Young Master, bad news!
- What's the matter?
The magistrate has come.
He is talking with Master.
Oh no!
What is it?
I fought with someone today.
Don't panic,
your mother is here to help you.
Your Excellency.
Gentlemen.
I'll give you an explanation.
Master Fong, you're such a righteous man.
I feel ashamed.
- I assure you I will punish
- Wow, there are so many people here.
Your Excellency.
Gentlemen.
No matter what had happened,
I, Miu Tsui Fa, will be responsible.
Of course you should be responsible.
You beat that foreigner up.
And the clothes you sold me
last time were stinky.
She insulted my wife,
saying that she was fat,
and refused to sell her clothes.
She teased me, saying that I was stupid.
- She is too much!
- Tell me.
What's your explanation?
I would not have come back
if I knew I had to face this.
Macu.
- Get the cane.
- What? Not again!
Master, for my sake
For your sake?
Forget it. Hit her then.
Father, please forgive Mother.
Please hit me instead.
- Look at our son. How good he is.
- Is this Fong Manor?
- Is this Fong Manor?
- Yes.
- So you are Fong Sai Yuk, not Wong Jing!
- Why do you call him Wong Jing?
He was caught fighting this morning,
and in the magistrate's office,
he claimed to be Wong Jing.
You little scoundrel!
- Are you hurting?
- Yes!
I shielded you from most of your blows,
so don't cry for pain.
Mother, you are so good at martial arts,
but you just let Father beat you up.
I should give him some respect
in front of other people.
The status of a man in a family
is very precious and important.
- Yes, it's precious and important indeed.
- Get some sleep now.
Yes, Father.
I really don't know
how you teach your son.
He's a grown-up,
but he always depends on you.
You should let him be independent.
All you care about is your business.
If our son doesn't keep me company,
who would?
You listen to those gossiping fools
and beat me up in front of everybody.
You don't treat me as your wife at all.
Listen to me.
I won't.
Listen to me.
No, I won't!
The beauty put up the curtain.
- Oh God! He is reciting poetry again.
- And sits moody with furrowed brows.
We only see stains of her tears.
No one knows who she is hating.
I can't stand it!
He is so dashing!
Every time he recites poetry,
I'm so excited.
Oh no! I feel dizzy.
Am I wrong to scold you like this?
No!
Now, why don't you come to bed?
Yes.
"Our fist conquers the whole of Canton."
"Our kick subdues Suzhou and Hangzhou."
What kind of bluffing is this?
Master, how is my writing?
Once it is hung out,
so many people are gathered around it.
Ting Ting.
Ting Ting.
Father, I don't want to select my husband
through the martial arts competition.
Stop bothering me.
If you force me, I will run away.
Shut up, or I will beat you to death.
- Damn it!
- Master.
I think you shouldn't
force Ting Ting like this.
When I am talking, you shut up!
I do this to impress the local people.
Otherwise, I can't establish
my power here.
Do you understand?
- I understand!
- This is so funny.
Why are you laughing?
- I am not playing acting!
- It's so funny.
Damn it!
Mother, can you stand it?
Sure! I can still stand it.
- I can.
- Really?
- All right. Let's do it.
- Sure.
Sai Yuk, does it work?
It seems odd.
Do the foreigners do it like this?
It's like barbecue.
Sure, I saw foreigners do this.
Do this to my eyebrow later, all right?
Sure, I can do it anywhere.
It's awful!
I wonder if your father would love it
and recite a poem to me.
He will love it!
Maybe he will recite an English poem.
English poem?
Perhaps I would be more excited.
How is an English poem?
I know.
They keep saying, "Wonderful."
How do you know it?
- Josephine Siao taught me.
- Sai Yuk.
- Hurry up, your father is back.
- All right.
Quick!
Dear.
- What are you doing?
- Dear, don't come in.
I want to show you something nice.
- Hurry up!
- Mother, sit properly. Don't move.
- Sai Yuk!
- Wait, don't come in.
I'll be pretty soon.
- Shit.
- What is it?
- It's on fire.
- What?
What happened?
Please recite your poems.
I'm going to study.
I am going to town,
what do you want to buy?
It's such a nice hairstyle!
COMPETITION
Ladies and gentlemen!
I, Tiger Lui, is a newcomer to this town.
I want to stay peacefully
and happily with all of you.
So, I arrange this competition
to recruit a son-in-law.
Whoever gets the ribbon is the winner.
During the competition,
you cannot step on the floor.
Once you step on the floor, you lose.
If anybody can defeat my wife,
Lee Siu Wan,
he can marry my daughter, Lui Ting Ting.
If anyone is killed or hurt by my wife,
we won't be responsible.
Please welcome my wife,
Lee Siu Wan on stage!
She is pretty.
- Exactly.
- If she marries me,
I shall spend all my nights with her.
Can you stand it?
- If not, I can ask for your help.
- Okay, it's a deal. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Hurry!
They are real friends.
- Tell Fong Sai Yuk about this.
- Okay.
- Excuse me, please give way.
- Excuse me!
Where is Sai Yuk?
He is studying inside.
I am going to the factory.
Come home soon.
"After the storm,
numberless blossoms fall"
One, two, three, four, five!
Six! That much?
Who is it?
Sai Yuk, it's us. Come out.
Sai Yuk.
"Spring slumbers unaware of morn,
all around one hears the birds' call."
"After the storm,
numberless blossoms"
Father, you're here.
Sai Yuk, sit down.
- I have to leave for the town today.
- For how long?
I will miss you.
Study hard.
Yes.
Today is not suitable for studying!
- What's up?
- Tiger Lui
arranged a competition
to recruit a son-in-law.
His daughter is very pretty.
- Really?
- He said
he is the best martial artist in Canton,
Suzhou, and Hangzhou.
Damn, what a big mouth!
Sai Yuk, what should we do?
Well?
Keep on studying.
Are you kidding?
My father is inside.
If he knows that, he'll kill me.
Young Master, what are you doing?
Sai Yuk, should we just
let those jerks kick us around?
Sai Yuk, please come out.
You'll defeat them easily.
Come down quickly. Master is coming.
Macu!
- Take my place.
- No way!
- I'll be back soon.
- Hey!
I can't, I have to go to town with Master.
OUR FIST CONQUERS THE WHOLE OF CANTON.
OUR KICK SUBDUES SUZHOU AND HANGZHOU.
CANTON'S SPORTS COMPETITION
Great!
Master, bad news!
- What?
- Ting Ting disappeared.
What?
Well done!
Damn!
This is bad.
Come on.
Master, please don't. This won't work.
- It's not right. I'm still single.
- Don't stare!
- Is it all right this way?
- Of course.
Seriously.
Even you want to get a wife?
My heart longs for a pretty woman!
Ridiculous! How dare you say so.
Ladies and gentlemen.
It seems difficult
to find a true hero in Canton.
Rubbish!
Bravo
- Who are you?
- You don't know me, huh?
I'm one of the ten most outstanding
youngsters in Canton.
The Invincible Magic Fist, Fong Sai Yuk.
Little brat, you're quite good-looking.
But first, my wife must
put you to the test.
- Come on!
- No problem!
Siu Wan!
Give him a test!
OUR FIST CONQUERS THE WHOLE OF CANTON.
OUR KICK SUBDUES SUZHOU AND HANGZHOU.
Are you the trophy?
Not me, but my daughter!
- Let me peek at her.
- Fight with me first!
Lend me your head.
How dare you trick me?
My feet are not yet on the ground.
- Good job!
- You can do it!
Don't worry,
we'll play till one of us loses.
Now try my kick!
- My head.
- It's hurt! Oh, my neck!
What bad luck to be stepped by a woman.
- Great! Beat her!
- Sai Yuk, beat her.
- Can you make it?
- Sure, we can.
I can't! Get her down!
Hey, steady!
Oh, my neck!
I feel so dizzy!
- Honey, be careful!
- All right, I'll be careful!
Lend me your hair tail.
My hair! Hands off!
Beat her.
- Sai Yuk, knock her down!
- It's a special request by the audience.
Catch my wife.
They have some helpers.
- What should we do now?
- Don't panic. The more, the merrier.
Be careful, guys!
I'll destroy your footholds.
Bo, come and help.
Sai Yuk, we support you.
We support you spiritually!
You Cantonese are not united at all.
- Are you okay?
- Sure! I am all right.
Me too!
Do you want to support yourself
with those two guys?
Without those six men supporting you,
can you hold it that long?
Fight!
If you can beat her,
you'll be my son-in-law.
Beat her!
Your men are getting tired.
Let's fight.
How dare you pull my hair!
I'll attack your eyes in return.
Watch my kick.
- Go to hell.
- Watch mine!
My eye is hurt.
- Are you all right?
- I am fine.
- Come on!
- Beat them.
Beat them!
I'll bite you to death.
Hold it!
Bo is getting beaten.
I'll help!
I'm coming!
I can't stand it anymore.
Sai Yuk, don't disappoint us.
I have never disappointed you.
Watch it!
Help me get up.
Madam!
- Don't fall down!
- I am lucky to have gotten ahold of it.
Come, kick me.
- I lost! I surrender!
- Sai Yuk, how can you let us down?
But if I didn't do so,
I would have let myself down.
How come you lost?
I am sorry, I lost!
Miss, I am sorry, I lost.
Kid, we may talk
Damn it!
The most outstanding youngster
of Canton lost! Let's make another bet!
Lost again!
Is there an outstanding
youngster in Canton?
You're exaggerating.
That's why I have some extra customers.
I want to make another bet.
Let's see who will be the final winner.
If you want to win, get my son to fight.
It's useless, Fong Sai Yuk just lost.
How dare he claim himself as
the most outstanding youngster in Canton.
I think the Fong family
is no longer number one here.
Seriously. How could you lose?
Gentlemen.
Anyone else
wants to come over for a fight?
If not, let's call an end today.
Wait!
There is money on the ground!
Let's pick up the money!
Lend me your back!
- I want to challenge you.
- Great!
- May I know your name?
- Beauty, may I know your name?
Don't feel shy.
I am Mrs. Lui,
the mother of Lui Ting Ting.
If you can defeat me,
I'll be your mother-in-law.
Why not marry the mother-in-law too?
What a big mouth!
Well? What do you think?
Stop, or you will fall down.
Who are you? How dare you?
Darn it!
Read my lips. It should be, "Damn it!"
I'm the invincible martial arts master,
the elder brother of Fong Sai Yuk.
My name is Fong Tai Yuk.
Damn it! You brothers are braggarts.
I wonder if your martial arts skills
are really that amazing.
Leave the question to Madam,
she will answer you later.
Why such a big fuss
just to get hold of the ribbon?
I will get it now!
Good footwork!
So is yours.
Madam, why are you holding my leg?
You have a smooth face.
Madam, you needn't be so nervous.
Thank you.
Madam, you are heavy.
Don't worry, I am here.
Why don't you come up? I'll help you.
Come up! The ribbon!
Be careful!
A secret attack? Oh no!
Madam!
Madam, we are on the ground now.
Are you all right?
I am fine!
But I am not!
She is my wife, do you know that?
Please remember this.
The Fong family has always
been number one in Canton.
And also the Lui family.
Stop touching me.
We are family now.
I only come to fight,
not for your daughter.
How about my daughter?
I don't want her.
Kid, repeat that if you dare!
I want to marry her!
Read my lips.
"I don't want her!"
You won the competition,
so you must marry my daughter.
Or I will ask the magistrate
to arrest you!
- Damn!
- Damn what?
Don't touch my face!
If you ruin my face
I want your fingerprint.
So you won't deny the deal.
Press on it!
MARRIAGE AGREEMEN- Who caught my staff?
- Your mother.
Mother, you look handsome.
I did this for you.
I pretended to be your elder brother
to save face for you.
Get me a bag.
What for?
I won the martial arts competition.
Lui forced me to marry his daughter.
So I should leave at once.
Mother, you are great!
Lesbian?
What?
Shit, they are coming.
What now?
- Let's fight them.
- Yes!
Watch mine.
Fong Tai Yuk, I am coming.
Fong Tai Yuk.
Fong Tai Yuk.
Fong Tai Yuk!
HUAIDE PAVILION
- Search!
- Yes!
- They are inside, search!
- Search!
I told you to search,
what are you looking for?
- Go search!
- Yes!
Hurry!
Damn it!
Fong Tai Yuk.
Why are you crying?
Where is Fong Tai Yuk?
- He is dead!
- Dead? How come?
He died on the street!
What? Where is his corpse?
- It's burned.
- I can recognize him, even in ashes.
Let me see.
Really? Are you still
interested in the ashes?
- Mother.
- Look. The ashes.
Take it.
Mother, run!
Don't go!
- You are a man.
- Of course.
Aren't you a man?
Don't move. Or I'll kill him.
Son, why are you holding a banana?
- Isn't it a knife?
- Banana?
Catch him!
- Freeze!
- Don't go!
- He's up there!
- Halt!
- After him!
- Come down, do you hear?
Mother!
Forget about me, run for your life.
No, I will be punished by God
if I leave like this.
I am coming.
- Why is it so?
- Since we can't get your elder son,
we will take your younger son
as a substitute.
Master, we've found Young Lady.
- It's destiny.
- Hey!
Let's wait until my husband comes back
to hold the wedding.
Sure!
I'll let them sleep together first
and then have the wedding.
Go!
- Go away!
- Don't block the way!
- You've gone too much!
- Hand Sai Yuk out.
- Release him!
- Listen!
Leave here at once.
If you stay, you'll be arrested.
- Let him go!
- Release him!
- Your Excellency.
- Master Lui.
What is it?
The people outside are all furious.
I heard
that the governor will come soon.
- Your Excellency, what should I do?
- It's simple.
Get your son-in-law
to get married in front of the people,
saying that he is willing to do so.
Then, we won't have any problem
if the governor comes.
Okay, I'll force him to say he's willing.
No way. We should not use force
but virtuous persuasion.
- Then we won't get into trouble.
- Right, virtuous persuasion.
WEDDING
I'm the outstanding youngster in Canton.
I won't lose my virginity to her.
If he dares touch me, I will kill him.
She still pretends to be a decent lady.
She makes me puke.
Let me prank her.
He's coming.
I want to scare you to death.
Don't come any nearer.
Are you kidding? Do you want to kill me?
That's too much!
What do you want?
Listen! You can have my body
but not my heart.
I already have someone in my heart.
Me too. I won't marry you.
I won't marry you too.
Okay, swear! What if you marry me?
My family will all die.
CANTON'S SPORTS COMPETITION
- What is this?
- Give it back to me.
Why do you keep such rubbish with you?
Idiot!
Listen.
I won't sleep with you.
Don't beg me, I won't come back.
I didn't come to beg you.
What did you come for?
In fact, our situations are the same.
I was taken as Tiger Lui's maid at 12.
I have been his concubine since I was 16.
I am the same as you.
I have had no romance before marriage.
We're different. You are happy, at least.
You were willing to marry him.
I am forced to do so.
These 20 years,
I think I am happy.
I married a rich husband
and have a good daughter.
After seeing your brother on stage,
I realize that I am lying to myself.
Actually,
I need
What do you need?
- Love!
- What? Are you fond of my brother?
I know he is still alive.
If you see your brother again,
please give this letter to him.
Aren't you afraid of Tiger Lui?
For love, I fear nothing.
Mrs. Fong, you are great.
You've won a girl's heart.
Actually, my brother is
I know you are better than your brother.
Oh, it's you!
- What do you want?
- Nothing, I just want you to know that
I, Tiger Lui, is a man
of virtuous persuasion.
I don't want to make you
to be my son-in-law by force.
We should explore each other's advantages.
Perhaps we will find
that we have many common interests.
Common interests?
- Yeah!
- Really?
I won't be angry.
Virtuous persuasion.
Virtuous persuasion.
Virtuous persuasion.
Damn! Why is it so noisy?
I want to be a man of virtuous persuasion.
I practice singing early in the morning
while beating the drum.
Singing can help me to win a wife.
It's great.
Where's your mother?
Giving birth to you is her fault.
Beating drum makes me healthy.
I am going to destroy your family.
Your mother is not mine.
Let's beat the drum.
Singing can help me to win a wife.
It's great.
It's better if your mother
didn't give birth to you.
Beating drum makes me healthy.
I am going to destroy this house.
Your mother is not my mother.
My mother is not my mother.
You've gained weight.
I always eat, that's why I gain weight.
Have you lost your virginity?
No!
That's good.
Why didn't you escape?
I don't know your situation.
If I escape, you might get into trouble.
And I am tailed by so many people.
I can't escape.
What a good boy.
I checked the way of escape
when I entered.
I will save you tonight.
Then, we will burn our house.
They will think that both of us are dead.
Then we will go to town for your father.
Let's lie to them
for the rest of their lives.
We'll never come back.
No one will know about it.
- What?
- Mother, you look so wicked.
Someone wants me to send you this letter.
Who is it?
Your girlfriend.
MR. FONG TAI YUK
LUI
Siu Wan,
I will meet an important guest
with the magistrate tonight.
I will be home late. You go to bed first.
- Mother, dogs!
- Nothing to be afraid of!
Did you offend the female dog?
Don't chase me!
- It's horrible to be chased by the dogs!
- Mother, run!
Why did you offend the dogs? Darn it!
This way!
Who is it? How dare you
break into Lui's Manor?
Bite him!
Madam!
Stop!
Tai Yuk, it's you.
That's right! It's me.
Ask your dogs to leave us alone.
So they can't hear our talk.
Sure.
One, Two, Three, Four. Go back!
Hurry up!
- Tai Yuk!
- Don't come over.
I am afraid I can't accept your love.
Since I received your letter,
I have been suffering thinking of you.
I can't stand it any longer.
So I come to see you now.
"The beauty put up the curtain.
She sits with furrowed brows.
One sees only the stain of tears.
Who is it that she hates?"
Madam, this poem is
specially written for you.
He knows how to write a poem.
There is noise.
- Go and check it out!
- Madam, I have to go now.
See you.
Tai Yuk!
- Tai Yuk!
- Madam, what's the matter?
Nothing, why are you here?
Who asked you to come here?
It's wise to leave now.
It's you? It's me!
You
It's you!
Miss Chan, have you also
been kidnapped by Tiger Lui?
Yes, how about you?
Me too.
I tried to find you
in the field afterward.
Me too. I waited for a long time.
You didn't come, so I left.
You mean you were waiting for me?
She waited for me.
Do you want this gold medal?
You always take this along with you?
I heard a noise over there.
- Did you find anyone?
- I didn't.
I am afraid they will find me.
I have to go now.
Watch out, there are dogs.
If I leave like this,
I can never see Miss Chan again.
Fong Sai Yuk is here, come and get him.
Fong Sai Yuk is here, come!
The purpose of my visit
is to destroy the rebels,
the Red Flower Society.
I have got a clue that
they'll appear here.
I hope
once you get any information
about the rebels,
come and inform me right away.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Don't worry, Your Excellency.
I will try my best.
My heart is devoted to the government.
Your Excellency,
please accept my small gifts.
Master Lui, please help me!
What?
My husband returned from town yesterday.
He did not see his son
and got angry with me.
Look, he beat me up.
He even burned my hand.
- Alas! Poor me!
- It's none of my business.
I'm here to beg you
to let Sai Yuk go back to see his father
for just one day.
One day will do. One day.
If Mr. Fong really misses his son,
he may come and visit him.
Or come and live here.
Then he can see him every day.
You are too cruel.
Fine, I will kill myself in front of you.
Where is the wall?
Where is the wall?
- Mrs. Fong, don't do that.
- I will kill myself.
Leave me alone.
Master, just let Sai Yuk
go back for one day.
I don't believe she will
bump her head against the wall.
Let her try.
I'm sure she won't.
- I will die in front of you. Tai Yuk!
- Tai Yuk?
- Tai Yuk, Mother is going to die.
- Don't!
- Tai Yuk, Mother is going to die.
- Master.
You are a man of virtuous persuasion,
aren't you?
- Mrs. Fong, please don't!
- A man of virtuous persuasion? Yeah.
Take him home now,
and bring him back tomorrow.
Thank you, Master.
She is there.
Mother, is Father back?
It is a lie.
Pack up,
we are going to look for your father.
Okay!
He is back.
He seems angry.
Stop.
Why didn't you tell me about the wedding?
How can you be his mother?
You made a fuss
when I was gone for a few days.
- How can I face our ancestors?
- Father.
- I
- Shut up!
It's none of his business.
I should be blamed.
It's all my fault.
I don't know how to teach my son.
I can't face your ancestors. Let me die.
- Let me die!
- Mother.
- Don't stop me!
- Don't!
- Mother, it's your second time today.
- Leave me alone.
- Leave me alone.
- Enough. I have to do something first.
I will go see Tiger Lui tomorrow.
What? Hey!
I am going to die,
and you are leaving just like this?
Why don't you save me? You're heartless.
This is for you.
A razor!
It's for me!
It's for me to shave my legs.
Mother, it's raining.
Let's get an umbrella for your father.
Yes.
Come and take a look!
Why is it raining so heavily?
- Be careful!
- This umbrella is broken. Use this.
Mother, the rain has stopped.
- Someone is inside.
- What?
Fine, don't cry.
You jerk!
Mother, calm down.
I don't want to live anymore.
Don't be silly.
You are pregnant.
They even have a child.
Don't worry. I am responsible.
I will take care of him.
- We are responsible too.
- What? She has so many men.
Why should Father take
the responsibility alone?
If Fourth Brother hadn't tried to save me,
Lok Ping wouldn't have lost her husband.
And I couldn't bring this list out.
Oh, Father does not have a mistress.
- I was almost scared to death.
- Mother, voice down!
Who is it? Come out!
Don't go!
- What kind of noise is that?
- Firecracker!
- Firecracker?
- Yes.
Your hands are trembling.
You don't seem to be a martial artist.
I just don't understand.
Why did you join the rebels?
We work for different bosses.
To you, Chien Lung is a good emperor,
but to us, he isn't.
If you hand me the list,
you will enjoy a prosperous life forever.
You want me to give up
thousands of lives for my wealth.
Even if I am willing to do so,
my brothers won't let me do it.
Even if they are willing,
my wife won't forgive me either.
Sai Yuk and I will forgive you.
Where is he?
Attack!
Father!
To me, my father is a good person.
So I want to beat you.
Let's go!
How dare you bully my husband? Go to hell!
Mother!
Watch mine!
- Father, where is the list?
- Here it is.
Invisible Fists.
What are you doing?
Sai Yuk, save Lok Ping.
Your mother can handle it.
Be careful!
Miss Lok, are you all right?
Hero, help your father
to protect the list.
Don't worry, I won't let you down.
See you again.
Take care of yourself.
Sai Yuk, we are leaving.
Take care of things here.
- Don't worry.
- How dare you join a secret society.
It hurts!
Come on!
It doesn't hurt!
It does not?
It doesn't hurt, huh?
My father used to hit me like this.
Let me tell you.
I used to hit my dog like this.
Brat.
An inch longer, an inch stronger.
Mine is short but powerful!
Run?
You have nowhere to run!
See you again next time!
Father.
- Sai Yuk, are you tailed?
- Don't worry.
I haven't been practicing
martial arts in vain.
Where is Mother?
You must have quarreled.
Mother, are you all right?
He has never treated me
that nicely before.
He recited ten poems for me.
Ten poems? That's great!
Leave me alone, stop bothering me.
He's so dashing.
How romantic!
Sai Yuk.
I have chosen this path,
so you and your mother would have
a hard life from now on.
If I am having a good life alone,
how about the others?
Even if I wish to do so,
the others would object.
Even if the others are willing to do so,
what about my feelings then?
But if the others and I agree, so what?
No matter what,
your choice is always correct.
I will go with you all the way.
I don't know what you are talking about.
But I, too, will go along.
Since you have made up your mind,
let's move to Lui's Manor.
It's dangerous.
The most dangerous place
is the safest place.
Got it!
- What? You want to move to my manor?
- Yes.
Actually, I don't want to do so,
but my wife said you are
a man of virtuous persuasion.
Even my naughty son admires you so much.
I want to see for myself.
So I agreed to come
and live here for a while
to see if it's true.
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
So help yourself.
I will let you stay until you believe it.
Young Lady.
Greet your parents-in-law.
Go.
Honey, I miss you.
I am not your wife. Your wife is there.
- It's you!
- It's you!
You lost some weight.
You too.
Your son is really romantic.
Like father, like son.
Come on.
What's the matter?
This mirror is our family treasure.
- It's a present to you.
- Thank Mother now.
Thank you, Mother.
Since all of us are here,
why not take this opportunity
to celebrate their wedding tomorrow?
I am sorry.
It doesn't matter.
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
Go ahead, until you think it's enough.
I don't have any friends in Canton.
Why not ask your relatives
to join the wedding banquet?
Can you ask Tai Yuk to join us?
It doesn't matter,
I am a man of virtuous persuasion.
I don't mind that!
Impressive!
- It doesn't matter.
- Let's have some rest now.
There will be many guests coming here.
Let's impress our guests
and be a man of virtuous persuasion.
WEDDING
Why didn't your relatives or friends come?
Well, we do have a big family.
But they are all over the country
doing business.
I can't inform them about the banquet
in such a short time.
What about your friends?
Say, friends in the market.
Well, my dear father-in-law.
We grow the vegetables ourselves,
we needn't go to the market.
- How about rice?
- We grow our rice too.
How about your customers?
Are they not your friends?
No, they aren't our friends.
If not, I won't sell them bad clothes
or charge them with unreasonable prices.
Selling clothes is more or less
similar to running a brothel.
If a customer wants to buy,
we are willing to sell.
It won't do to become affectionate.
So, we don't have friends.
Am I right?
Perfect!
Master, the magistrate is here.
Finally, a guest! Show him in.
Don't panic, it's just the magistrate.
- It's just the magistrate.
- Master Lui.
Your Excellency!
His Excellency, the governor, is here.
Your Excellency.
- This way, please.
- Welcome.
Let's meet our guest together.
- Come.
- All right.
Your Excellency, this way, please.
Welcome.
- Welcome.
- This is my son-in-law
- and his family.
- Greetings, Your Excellency.
- Your Excellency, here.
- Take a seat, please.
- This way, please.
- Slowly.
After you.
- Please take a seat.
- Your Excellency, please.
Why are you sitting there?
- Come and sit with us.
- No, it's too crowded.
We better sit here.
Nonsense!
We have many empty seats here. Come on.
- I dropped my money.
- Where is it? Let me help you.
- Master Fong, don't sit alone.
- Come over.
- Where is it?
- Where is the money?
I can't find it.
- When did you come?
- I have just come over.
- Master Lui.
- Yes?
What is your son-in-law doing?
What are you doing? Get up!
Your favorite dish is here.
Come on.
Eat up.
Mother, towards your right.
Don't let him see me.
Is he your son-in-law?
Master Lui, answer His Excellency.
- Fong Sai Yuk is my son-in-law.
- So, are you the one in charge here?
Yes, I am the one in charge here.
- Give me the list!
- Dear, watch out!
Siu Wan!
- Mother!
- Ting Ting!
Where is the name list?
I want to kill you!
Mother!
Let's fight!
Go!
Siu Wan!
Master, be careful!
- Go!
- Yes!
Take him back.
Burn the manor.
Damn it! I'm so pissed!
I married my daughter to you,
but you get my whole family into trouble.
Master Lui, it's not
my young master's fault.
Shut up, or I will kill you.
Let him go. Otherwise, don't blame me.
Damn it! You want to fight?
- What do you want?
- Young Master, forget it.
Father! Mother seems to be suffering.
Damn!
Siu Wan!
- Ting Ting!
- Mother!
Where is your father?
Siu Wan, are you all right?
- Hurry up.
- Do you need a doctor?
I know what to do!
Come on.
Leave me alone.
- Let me help you.
- Don't touch her!
- She is seriously injured.
- Siu Wan. Let's go!
Be careful. You're not familiar
with the place.
- Do you want me to take you to the doctor?
- Save the crocodile tears.
Let's go our separate ways from now on.
Father, please don't like this.
We're not familiar with the place.
Are you leaving?
If not, you're no longer my daughter.
Ting Ting!
Go!
Go! Go now!
Sai Yuk, I feel so lost.
Mother, don't worry.
While the list is with us,
they won't do anything to Father.
- I am going to town.
- Be careful.
- Xing!
- Who is it?
It's Sai Yuk.
Open the door now.
Come in.
I have seen the notice
that my father will be executed tomorrow.
Many people were caught because of us.
I come to see if you are okay.
I am fine.
I am fine.
- I am fine.
- What's wrong?
Sai Yuk, I am sorry.
Don't cry first. Tell me what happened.
They took Bo and me for questioning.
I said I didn't know you.
So, I was released.
Where is Bo?
He said I was a coward.
He refused to say that he didn't know you.
So he was beaten up.
The officers were tired,
they wanted Bo to kowtow
before releasing him.
Bo refused.
Where is he now?
He was beaten to death.
And his corpse is hanging
at the East Gate.
Sai Yuk,
forgive me.
I am scared.
I won't blame you.
I lost a friend, I don't want to lose you.
Who is it?
What are you doing?
I came to collect his corpse.
Who are you? How dare you?
I'm Fong Sai Yuk.
Fong Sai Yuk?
How dare you come here?
Aren't you afraid of death?
My friend is not afraid of death.
He said he was my friend.
How can I be a coward?
So I'm here for his corpse.
- Attack.
- Yes!
Bo,
let's fight together.
Kowtow three times to my friend.
- Mercy, please!
- Please forgive us.
Bo,
let's go.
Please forgive us.
Please let us go.
Bo,
you are always my best friend.
I hope we'll be buddies again
in our next lives.
Young Master, don't be so sad.
Macu.
My father will be executed tomorrow.
What? He'll be executed tomorrow?
I've decided to save him alone.
You take my mother and leave
early tomorrow morning.
How can you go alone? It's too dangerous.
- Please don't go.
- Enough!
I have made up my mind.
Never let my mother know this.
Macu!
Don't cry.
Let's go back,
my mother is waiting for us.
Let's go.
- Are there any updates about your father?
- He'll be fine, don't worry.
Father was rescued by Chan Ka Lok,
the Head of the Red Flower Society.
Really?
I won't lie to you.
- Why didn't he come back?
- Mr. Chan said
it's not wise to stay together.
He'll meet you and Macu at Puishi Beach
tomorrow morning.
Isn't there a branch of
the Red Flower Society at Puishi Beach?
You dumb-bell, tell my mother now.
Right, I went there
with Master Fong a year ago.
What about you?
Mr. Chan asked me to take
this name list to Longfu Hill
and hand it to Mr. Chiu.
You know Mr. Chiu
in Longfu Hill, right? Speak up!
- Speak up!
- That's right.
A year ago, I met him once with Master.
We dined together.
He is a nice guy.
- Am I right?
- You are right!
Well, I don't have to worry anymore.
- That's great.
- Go to hell!
- Damn you, Cantonese!
- Mother!
They said they'd fetch me the doctor.
But they told the officers
to come and arrest me.
You Cantonese are all stupid!
- Dear, how are you?
- Mother, are you all right?
Ting Ting!
Ting Ting!
I'm fine.
- It's pouring, let's get on board first.
- Leave me alone!
I won't get on your boat!
I warn you, don't come to my side.
Father!
Shut up!
Ting Ting.
She is badly injured.
Why are you so stubborn?
Ting Ting, go with them.
I'll stay here
to keep your father company.
Don't be proud at a time like this.
Damn it, enough already!
I said I would not go with you.
But I didn't say my family wouldn't.
Help her up.
Be careful.
Slowly.
Watch out.
Take care of her!
Be careful.
God, what the hell did I do wrong?
Why do you treat me like this?
God is punishing you for your sins.
I ask you once more,
are you getting into the boat?
No!
- Mother!
- Hold it!
- Mother.
- Sai Yuk.
Take Ting Ting out for a while.
I want to talk
to your mother.
Go now!
Good boy.
Mrs. Fong, I have one thing to ask you.
What's the matter?
Where is Tai Yuk?
He is here.
"The beauty pulls the curtain up."
"She sits with furrowed brows.
One sees the stains of tears.
Who is she crying for?"
Madam, it's me.
Tai Yuk.
Are you Tai Yuk?
Yes.
We can't be together in this life.
But we'll be husband and wife
in the next life,
all right?
All right.
- Madam!
- Mother!
Siu Wan!
Although you scolded me all day,
I am not angry with you.
Once my father-in-law,
you'd be my father-in-law for life.
When you reach Puishi Beach tomorrow,
the officers can never get you.
Siu Wan!
Siu Wan!
Sai Yuk. After you finish your mission,
come and join us.
Young Master. Take care.
Macu, why are you crying?
He's just going to deliver the name list.
He's not going to die.
I have caught a cold.
Cut the crap, go now.
- Hurry up, Father is waiting.
- Yes!
- Sai Yuk!
- What's the matter?
Can you swear?
What?
Swear that you will never
see me as your wife, okay?
But why?
- Remember our bridal night?
- What?
You swore that if you marry me,
your family would
Would all die, I remembered.
I don't care.
No matter what happens,
you'll always be my wife.
My husband used to kiss me like that.
Hey!
Did your wife kiss you like that before?
Forget what I said.
My bad.
Wear this!
How about you?
I have this.
- So you take it along.
- It's time to leave.
Take care.
Sai Yuk, take care.
Take care!
Take a horse.
It's better than walking on foot.
Beware of catching a cold.
Remember to eat on time.
You take care too.

How many can you kill?
Very well.
I will kill as many as I can.

- Yeah, he's a good person.
This is so unfair.
- How pitiful!
- I know, right?
Kill!
- Here is the list!
- Great!
I, Fong Sai Yuk, will fight

I'll live and die with the list.

Sai Yuk!
Don't come over. Or I'll light it on fire.
Retreat!
Fong Sai Yuk, you have guts!
Aren't you afraid of death?
I am prepared to be killed.
Give me the name list,
and then you
and your father will be released.
Sai Yuk!
Sai Yuk, don't give it to him.
You should know how the wind blows.
Just give me the name list,
and I can guarantee you
a prosperous future.
Do you think I'm stupid?
If I gave you the list,
I would be a traitor.
My father won't forgive me,
my mother will kill me.
The citizens will scold me.
History will give me a bad name.
I won't betray my people!
- Great!
- Well said!
You have guts, I like your kind.
If we are not serving different bosses,
we can be friends.
All right, I'll give you a chance.
If you can defeat me
before the rope breaks,
I will let your father go.
If you lose,
give me the name list.
I used one-third of my strength last time.
I think you are so gifted in martial arts
that I want to introduce you
to serve our government.
But I don't think there is a chance now.
I know every kind of boxing.
I wanted to make you my student.
Since you bullied my father,
I don't think there is any chance now.
Luckily, I am protected by the mirror.
Go to hell!
Take it!
Sai Yuk!
Go now!
I won't go!
Sai Yuk!
I am happy to see you so grown up.
Just leave me.
Our country is waiting for you.
I feel at ease even if I have to die.
Go now!
What I can do, many people can do too.
But I only have one father.
- Sai Yuk, go!
- Father!
I want to die with you.
Fong Sai Yuk, I am coming to help you!
I come to help too!
Use some force!
- Let's go!

Mr. Chan, you are really great.
I admire you so much.
But
my master told me
to bring your corpse back.
Super shoes!
Watch mine!
Mother!
Fong, I will take Sai Yuk
as my foster son.
I will train him well.
Thank you, Mr. Chan.
I leave my son to you.
Mr. Damn!
Oh, sorry! Mr. Chan!
Take care of him, please.
He has never left me since he was a child.
Mr. Chan, we have to bid farewell now.
Foster Father,
may I take Ting Ting with me?
Sure you can.
Are you really willing
to let your son join the triads?
What do you think?
- Fine, just as you say.
- Ting Ting, let's go.
Father.
Don't bully my daughter.
Or I will beat you.
Don't worry, I won't bully her.
You should take me as an example.
- To be a man of virtuous persuasion.
- Yes!
Father! May I beg you for one thing?
- What?
- I've never seen you smile.
Can you smile for me once?
Make it next year.
Sai Yuk, follow me.
Father, take care.
Let's go!
Sai Yuk, take care!
You'll be good to me, won't you?
"The beauty put up the curtain.
She sits with furrowed brows.
Only stains of her tears are seen.
Who is she hating?"
Son, your father is laughing!
How romantic. I am so happy!
Sai Yuk, you've forgotten something!
Catch it!
