Why have you brought those kids here? 242 00:17:54,130 --> 00:17:57,333 Papa Fu. But it's all these kids' idea. 243 00:17:57,333 --> 00:18:00,069 As soon as they heard that today was your seventieth birthday, 244 00:18:00,069 --> 00:18:02,372 they insisted on coming over to pay their respects. 245 00:18:03,239 --> 00:18:05,508 That's your idea for sure. 246 00:18:05,508 --> 00:18:09,294 I can't go for that right now.

Prepare the longevity wine. 270 00:19:38,968 --> 00:19:41,504 But the doctor said that Papa Fu cannot drink alcohol. 271 00:19:42,242 --> 00:19:47,543 No. Bring some. Today I'll be pleased to drink a cup with the kids. 272 00:19:47,545 --> 00:19:50,146 Bring some... - OK 273 00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:52,115 Papa Fu.

They didn't have a place to go to. 277 00:20:02,325 --> 00:20:06,642 The kids have become a bunch of slobs, a social nuisance... and they have been sent to the police. 278 00:20:06,642 --> 00:20:08,931 Do I make it sound bad to you? 279 00:20:08,931 --> 00:20:11,667 I'll give you a scolding again for having said that to me. 280 00:20:11,667 --> 00:20:17,570 How many times have I told you that letting these kids run loose isn't the answer. -- Right. 281 00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:21,191 Help them to find regular jobs. - Yes. 282 00:20:21,191 --> 00:20:25,448 Papa Fu, knowing how serious this is, I have taken this to heart for a long time now. 283 00:20:25,448 --> 00:20:31,563 I brought them here today, exactly, to let you in on an important decision. - What kind of decision? 284 00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:36,592 Papa Fu, you already know that I've been dreaming of starting a tavern for a long time. 285 00:20:36,592 --> 00:20:40,730 These birds who have nowhere to stop over would be waiters at my tavern. 286 00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:44,902 Anything would be better than wandering the streets. - Yes. 287 00:20:44,902 --> 00:20:47,203 They could have a future there! 288 00:20:47,704 --> 00:20:49,962 Thank you. 289 00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:55,392 I'm saving money for that. I've already picked out the location, right here on Nanjing East Road, Lane 125. 290 00:20:55,392 --> 00:20:58,781 What'll you name the place? - That's where Papa Fu comes in. 291 00:20:58,781 --> 00:21:01,017 I'd like you to honor us with a name. 292 00:21:01,017 --> 00:21:02,852 Really? - Yes. 293 00:21:04,954 --> 00:21:08,391 Back in Nanjing I lived in a place called Merciful Lane. 294 00:21:08,457 --> 00:21:11,026 There was a little tavern at the beginning of the lane. 295 00:21:12,061 --> 00:21:17,433 It was called... The Cozy Nest. - The Cozy Nest! 296 00:21:17,433 --> 00:21:19,635 What a great name! That's perfect! 297 00:21:19,635 --> 00:21:25,908 Bring this here. Papa Fu. Drink a small glass. 298 00:21:25,908 --> 00:21:28,733 I drink longevity wine to a true humanitarian! Toast!

Why do you stand there so stupidly, desperate kids？ 302 00:21:37,653 --> 00:21:39,355 You all know nothing about being grateful. 303 00:21:39,355 --> 00:21:43,993 If Papa Fu was not here to protect you, you would have been quickly sent to Fire Island. Do you know that? 304 00:21:43,993 --> 00:21:46,126 Yang Jinhai! Enough... 305 00:21:46,128 --> 00:21:48,464 Don't talk about this anymore. 306 00:21:48,464 --> 00:21:53,898 Kids, I appreciate your kindness. Let's drink! 307 00:21:53,899 --> 00:21:57,207 May Papa Fu have a long and happy life! 308 00:21:58,307 --> 00:22:00,108 Papa Fu can really put it away! 309 00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:10,353 Yang Jinhai. Back in the time I was in the army, I liked to drink two cups of Fenjiu liquor, perfumed and strong. 310 00:22:10,353 --> 00:22:13,222 I was used to drinking a whole big bowl. 311 00:22:13,222 --> 00:22:15,858 I can't drink as much as before, now. 312 00:22:17,293 --> 00:22:20,129 You drink. Tell them to drink. 313 00:22:20,129 --> 00:22:23,532 Let them have fun. - OK. - I'll take a nap. - OK... 314 00:22:23,532 --> 00:22:25,868 Thank you Papa Fu! 315 00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:29,238 A-qing. Take care of him. 316 00:22:29,238 --> 00:22:31,207 Be careful... 317 00:22:31,207 --> 00:22:33,175 Walk slowly... Be careful... 318 00:22:36,379 --> 00:22:38,313 Pour the wine! 319 00:22:41,851 --> 00:22:46,021 Do you really know how to play the finger-guessing game? Little Jade. I'll play with you. 320 00:23:06,375 --> 00:23:07,876 Papa Fu. 321 00:23:08,878 --> 00:23:11,647 Papa Fu. I prepared some tea for you. 322 00:23:13,149 --> 00:23:14,850 Be careful. It's very hot. 323 00:23:18,187 --> 00:23:19,522 Papa Fu. 324 00:23:19,522 --> 00:23:26,128 Everyone in the park says that Papa Fu is a living Buddha who's always ready to help anyone in trouble. 325 00:23:29,398 --> 00:23:37,640 There's a story behind it and I've not talked about that to anyone. 326 00:23:38,607 --> 00:23:40,442 What story? 327 00:23:43,846 --> 00:23:50,019 It was 10 years ago, a night in winter. It was the night of lunar New Year's Eve. 328 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,026 Angina struck me. So, I went to National Taiwan University Hospital's emergency room. 329 00:23:58,461 --> 00:24:03,833 There was a cold wind and a little rain that night. 330 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,639 I was coming back home by going through New Park when I heard someone crying. 331 00:24:11,607 --> 00:24:16,345 The sound seemed to come from the lotus pond, near the pavilion at the park. 332 00:24:20,282 --> 00:24:22,818 I went there to see. 333 00:24:23,686 --> 00:24:30,159 At the pavilion, a young guy was sitting alone on a rock and crying painfully. 334 00:24:30,159 --> 00:24:32,294 His crying sounded really strange to me. 335 00:24:33,662 --> 00:24:42,321 I went closer to him and asked him : "Why are you crying?" 336 00:24:43,589 --> 00:24:49,428 He told me :"My chest hurts. When I don't cry I don't feel well." 337 00:24:51,163 --> 00:24:56,869 The weather was so cold. He wore only a shirt. 338 00:24:56,869 --> 00:25:01,574 When he was speaking his teeth were chattering. 339 00:25:02,808 --> 00:25:10,637 He said "I have no home. I have nowhere to go." 340 00:25:11,949 --> 00:25:16,722 I couldn't bear that situation. I brought him to my place. 341 00:25:19,024 --> 00:25:22,194 This kid grew up in a really weird way. 342 00:25:22,194 --> 00:25:29,135 I found I'd never met anybody so unlucky and with a face so demonic. 343 00:25:30,216 --> 00:25:35,941 Later, he told me everything about his strange life experience. 344 00:25:38,978 --> 00:25:41,380 He was called Phoenix. 345 00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:44,817 The wild Phoenix, from New Park. 346 00:25:46,118 --> 00:25:47,953 It was Phoenix! 347 00:25:50,623 --> 00:25:56,829 So I brought him to my place. He ate New Year's Eve dinner here. 348 00:25:56,829 --> 00:26:00,166 He particularly enjoyed his meal. 349 00:26:00,166 --> 00:26:03,002 He ate most part of the braised knuckles of pork. 350 00:26:04,436 --> 00:26:06,539 He even told me, smiling: 351 00:26:07,506 --> 00:26:18,150 "Papa Fu. At the orphanage, we just celebrated Christmas, not New Year's Eve." 352 00:26:19,585 --> 00:26:28,260 Nobody knew this would be his last meal in this world. 353 00:26:30,663 --> 00:26:34,600 When he had finished eating, he hurried back to New Park. 354 00:26:34,601 --> 00:26:37,541 He told me there was someone who was waiting for him. 355 00:26:38,737 --> 00:26:40,973 He added, smiling: 356 00:26:40,997 --> 00:26:47,446 "I'm taking the opportunity this New Year's to ask that person to give me back something." 357 00:26:49,415 --> 00:26:52,151 The day after, I read the news and learned what had happened. 358 00:26:52,151 --> 00:26:57,523 He met Wang Kuilong and got involved in a bad romance. 359 00:26:59,825 --> 00:27:03,462 I saw Wang Kuilong grow up. 360 00:27:04,863 --> 00:27:07,733 Papa Fu. You know Dragon Prince too? 361 00:27:08,601 --> 00:27:14,640 Yes. His father was my superior. Dragon Prince was the son of the late General Wang Shangde. 362 00:27:17,276 --> 00:27:26,051 Even though Phoenix only spent one night at my house, I developed a special fondness and concern for him. 363 00:27:27,353 --> 00:27:42,368 For him to die like that came as a severe blow to me. 364 00:27:42,368 --> 00:27:46,905 I suddenly had a lot of compassion. 365 00:27:47,973 --> 00:27:59,285 So I promised myself that I'd extend a helping hand to you park kids who lived such uncertain lives. 366 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:08,964 In fact, every hope turned to dust for me after my only son's death. 367 00:28:10,029 --> 00:28:18,804 I was indifferent to human joy and sorrow. 368 00:28:18,804 --> 00:28:31,183 But when I met Phoenix, my heart suddenly came back to life. 369 00:28:36,188 --> 00:28:41,004 Papa Fu. Have some more tea. - OK. 370 00:28:45,864 --> 00:28:51,570 Papa Fu.

He graduated at the top of his class in the military academy. 377 00:29:35,514 --> 00:29:39,485 He was a young and promising military officer. 378 00:29:39,485 --> 00:29:45,758 His commanding officer praised him. The troops under his command respected and loved him. 379 00:29:45,758 --> 00:29:48,060 Words can't express how proud I was of him. 380 00:29:48,060 --> 00:30:00,597 I was happy to know that the twenty years I'd spent bringing him up hadn't been wasted. 381 00:30:02,975 --> 00:30:06,812 The kid lost his mother at a very young age. 382 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:14,440 I can't be blamed for spoiling that brilliant child. 383 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:22,060 One day, I took him with me when I went to Qinghai to evaluate the troops. 384 00:30:23,495 --> 00:30:27,866 Qinghai is famous for its horses. Someone gave him one, 385 00:30:27,866 --> 00:30:30,102 a splendid colt, white as snow. 386 00:30:31,069 --> 00:30:38,710 As soon as he saw the horse, he quickly jumped up onto its back, happy. 387 00:30:38,710 --> 00:30:44,450 His shawl, floating behind him, looked like a big flag. 388 00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:48,287 That year he was already 16 years old. 389 00:30:54,426 --> 00:30:56,127 A-wei ! 390 00:30:57,796 --> 00:30:58,931 A-wei ! 391 00:31:00,866 --> 00:31:04,073 A-wei ! - Papa Fu... 392 00:31:05,170 --> 00:31:12,978 I wouldn't have thought that 11 years ago, 393 00:31:12,978 --> 00:31:19,740 the day of my fifty-ninth birthday, A-wei would have used his revolver to end his life! 394 00:31:26,819 --> 00:31:33,699 That morning, he called me from Chunli's first regiment. 395 00:31:33,699 --> 00:31:36,735 He implored me on the phone. 396 00:31:36,735 --> 00:31:42,774 He said: "Dad. Something happened. Can I come back home? I need to see you." 397 00:31:43,842 --> 00:31:47,145 I told him coldly that I didn't want him to come back. 398 00:31:47,145 --> 00:31:51,850 "Stay in camp while you await the court's verdict." 399 00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:57,268 I felt revulsion and disdain for him. I slammed down the phone. 400 00:31:57,268 --> 00:32:06,331 At the time, I didn't want to see anyone, especially not the son who had become my greatest disappointment. 401 00:32:09,268 --> 00:32:26,518 I would never have thought he could do something so shameful, so despicable, and with one of his own soldiers. 402 00:32:29,588 --> 00:32:43,402 When the officer was making his rounds, he discovered A-wei in bed with one of the soldiers... naked! 403 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,912 I nearly collapsed when the news reached me. 404 00:32:56,214 --> 00:33:02,788 I wrote him a long letter, condemning his actions in the strongest possible language. 405 00:33:04,189 --> 00:33:16,047 I wouldn't have thought that that letter would have resulted in an end like this. 406 00:33:17,903 --> 00:33:27,879 That afternoon, a soldier found A-wei dead in his bedroom, 407 00:33:27,879 --> 00:33:29,648 still holding his revolver in his hand. 408 00:33:29,648 --> 00:33:38,624 The bullet passed through his temples, shattering his face. 409 00:33:38,624 --> 00:33:44,196 He was my only son. 410 00:33:44,196 --> 00:33:47,065 A-wei. - Papa Fu. 411 00:33:47,466 --> 00:33:48,600 Papa Fu. 412 00:33:55,173 --> 00:33:57,147 Papa Fu.

Dong. Dong. 420 00:35:25,097 --> 00:35:28,466 Once in a while the sound stopped, and a long sigh followed, 421 00:35:28,566 --> 00:35:38,097 then the sound of pacing back and forth started again, 422 00:35:40,212 --> 00:35:43,749 and so on, until dawn. 423 00:35:43,749 --> 00:35:46,485 That night, I hardly slept. 424 00:35:50,422 --> 00:36:03,435 That handsome military officer, with his clear, radiant eyes, looked self assured and arrogant. 425 00:36:08,306 --> 00:36:21,019 Could he possibly... Could he possibly have resented his father that much 426 00:36:21,019 --> 00:36:31,129 to use his gun to take his own life on the day of his 59th birthday? 427 00:36:54,786 --> 00:36:57,422 Hello!

I'm the misfortune of the Wang family, and I've completely ruined Father's heroic reputation. 545 00:49:16,394 --> 00:49:22,300 You have to understand that your father did a lot for the country. 546 00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:26,571 He had a very high position in society, and he had to take that into account. 547 00:49:27,638 --> 00:49:30,019 You must try to put yourself in his place. 548 00:49:30,020 --> 00:49:37,848 Papa Fu. I hid myself in New York, drifting around for ten years, all because of one thing Father said. 549 00:49:40,217 --> 00:49:45,423 Ten years ago, when I left home, Father told me: 550 00:49:46,824 --> 00:49:51,195 "You're leaving now, and as long as I'm alive, I forbid you to come back!" 551 00:49:53,831 --> 00:50:00,972 He said that very harshly to me. I was the greatest shame of his life. 552 00:50:03,140 --> 00:50:08,512 We have some relatives in New York, but I never went to see any of them, and I didn't even let them know I was there. 553 00:50:08,512 --> 00:50:11,816 I didn't want to add to Father's troubles. 554 00:50:13,784 --> 00:50:17,822 But when Father was dying he wouldn't let me come back to see him. 555 00:50:17,822 --> 00:50:19,724 He even managed to make me miss the funeral. 556 00:50:19,724 --> 00:50:25,496 My uncle told me that on Father's orders, they didn't send the telegram until after Father was buried! 557 00:50:26,697 --> 00:50:35,840 I was at the funeral. Your father had a state funeral. 558 00:50:38,109 --> 00:50:44,382 In front of the hearse, three honor guards walked in front to clear the way. 559 00:50:44,382 --> 00:50:48,419 All those who went to the funeral were lining up on the main road to form a big dragon. 560 00:50:50,054 --> 00:50:54,925 Your father's funeral was quite impressive. 561 00:50:56,093 --> 00:51:01,565 Everyone was there, including all your many relatives. 562 00:51:01,565 --> 00:51:06,070 If you made an appearance that wouldn't have been very suitable. 563 00:51:06,103 --> 00:51:09,340 Of course. My uncle told me the same thing. 564 00:51:09,340 --> 00:51:15,813 I caused Father an enormous loss of face, and it served no purpose to make him look bad on the day of his funeral. 565 00:51:20,851 --> 00:51:22,620 All this time I've been back, 566 00:51:22,620 --> 00:51:28,959 I stayed away from his grave until seven weeks after his funeral, 567 00:51:30,194 --> 00:51:34,799 when my aunt and uncle took me up to Yangmingshan. 568 00:51:36,634 --> 00:51:43,374 There was still a mound of earth over Father's grave, which was covered by a piece of black oilcloth. 569 00:51:43,374 --> 00:51:51,015 I stood there in front of his grave without shedding a single tear, and I saw the look of anger on Uncle's face. 570 00:51:51,015 --> 00:51:55,619 I knew he was steaming, thinking to himself: 571 00:51:55,619 --> 00:52:00,357 "How can that piece of scum stand dry-eyed in front of his own father's grave!" 572 00:52:00,357 --> 00:52:03,661 How could they know how I was feeling? I wanted to rush forward on the road, 573 00:52:03,661 --> 00:52:06,497 rip that oilcloth off, throw myself down on the mound of dirt, 574 00:52:06,497 --> 00:52:08,999 dig down into the hole and wrap my arms around Father's body! 575 00:52:08,999 --> 00:52:13,437 I could have cried for three days and nights, cried till blood ran from my eyes, 576 00:52:14,839 --> 00:52:18,909 to try to wash away the hatred that had filled Father's heart. 577 00:52:22,513 --> 00:52:28,552 How he loathed me! He didn't even want me to look at his face, one last time. 578 00:52:28,552 --> 00:52:31,722 I waited for ten long years for only one thing: his forgiveness. 579 00:52:31,722 --> 00:52:38,729 The last thing he said to me became a curse that I carried on my back like a banished exile. 580 00:52:38,729 --> 00:52:44,735 In New York, scurrying in and out of the dark shadows of the skyscrapers. 581 00:52:44,735 --> 00:52:51,108 I was on the run for 10 years, carrying that curse on my back as it burned more and more deeply into my flesh, 582 00:52:51,108 --> 00:52:52,877 only he had the power to remove it ! 583 00:52:52,877 --> 00:52:56,413 But he didn't leave a single word behind for me before he was lowered into the ground ! 584 00:52:56,413 --> 00:53:01,118 That was his curse, a curse that will always keep me from transcending this existence... 585 00:53:01,118 --> 00:53:08,659 Kuilong! You shouldn't say things like that about your father, it isn't fair! 586 00:53:08,692 --> 00:53:12,630 It's not fair? It's not fair, Papa Fu? 587 00:53:16,275 --> 00:53:24,475 Papa Fu. The reason I came to see you today was to ask if you saw Father before he died. 588 00:53:26,110 --> 00:53:35,019 Yes. I went to Veteran's Hospital to see him a couple of times when he fell ill. 589 00:53:39,056 --> 00:53:41,592 Did he mention anything to you? 590 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:49,133 He talked about the past, but I left early because he was very weak. 591 00:53:49,133 --> 00:53:56,407 I know he wouldn't have mentioned my name. His feelings for me had died ! 592 00:53:57,374 --> 00:54:00,477 You're taking it all out on your father, 593 00:54:00,477 --> 00:54:04,515 but I wonder if you've ever thought about how much he suffered on your account. 594 00:54:04,515 --> 00:54:06,450 Of course I have! 595 00:54:06,450 --> 00:54:10,821 All I wanted was for him to give me a chance to pay him back for some of the pain I caused him! 596 00:54:11,655 --> 00:54:19,196 To pay him back? That's easy for you kids to say! 597 00:54:19,196 --> 00:54:23,534 You all think you can pay your fathers back for the pain you caused them, don't you? 598 00:54:25,903 --> 00:54:31,575 He didn't talk about you to anyone when you were abroad, 599 00:54:31,575 --> 00:54:38,082 but I know that his pain wasn't less than yours. 600 00:54:39,283 --> 00:54:45,022 You were often wronged during those years, but you think you were the only one suffering? 601 00:54:45,022 --> 00:54:47,424 Your father was sharing your load. 602 00:54:48,192 --> 00:54:52,830 No matter how great your agony, his was greater! 603 00:54:55,766 --> 00:55:02,373 Around six months after your incident, I went to see him. 604 00:55:03,409 --> 00:55:11,041 His hair had turned completely white in less than six months.

He was caught red-handed. 726 01:14:32,983 --> 01:14:36,520 Last week, I went to Taoyuan to look for him. He whispered softly to me: 727 01:14:37,821 --> 01:14:41,758 "This reform school is really a place of thieves!" 728 01:14:41,758 --> 01:14:45,362 Those teenagers are evil ! They committed more significant robberies than him! 729 01:14:46,129 --> 01:14:51,902 He wanted me to take his Parker 51 pen. 730 01:14:51,902 --> 01:14:54,805 "The reform school is really not a safe place." 731 01:14:56,306 --> 01:14:57,341 Yes. 732 01:14:57,341 --> 01:15:03,780 Mousey is learning how to toast bread, in view of becoming a baker. 733 01:15:06,850 --> 01:15:15,058 Wu Min, the infatuated flower, went back to Mr. Zhang's house. 734 01:15:15,058 --> 01:15:18,861 Mister Zhang had a stroke. The whole left side of his body was paralyzed. 735 01:15:18,861 --> 01:15:22,065 There was no one to take care of him, so Wu Min took pity on him. 736 01:15:22,066 --> 01:15:27,571 He goes everyday to his home to massage him, rub his back, willing to be his little slave. 737 01:15:29,072 --> 01:15:37,314 As for me, I've got a job at the Round Table on Sun Yat-sen North Road, as a bartender. 738 01:15:37,314 --> 01:15:42,352 The Road Table is a high-class bar with lots of atmosphere, a place for nine to fivers and lovers meetings. 739 01:15:42,352 --> 01:15:48,291 They like to listen to classical music. The bar plays the Blue Danube every night. 740 01:15:58,935 --> 01:16:01,237 Today is New Year's Eve. 741 01:16:02,105 --> 01:16:10,347 At nightfall, I quietly went back to the Lane 28 on Longjiang Street. 742 01:16:13,984 --> 01:16:17,821 While passing by the house of Staff Officer Qin and the house of Squad Leader Xiao, 743 01:16:18,655 --> 01:16:23,927 I caught a glimpse of their mother who were cooking Chinese New Year's dishes. 744 01:16:31,401 --> 01:16:35,005 The old familiar smell of coriander was coming from their kitchen. 745 01:16:40,510 --> 01:16:49,928 I walked to the end of the lane and stood in front of the old door of my home, for quite a long time. 746 01:16:57,494 --> 01:17:00,130 I didn't have the courage to knock on the front door. 747 01:17:00,130 --> 01:17:03,100 On the door, the paint had flaked and was peeling. 748 01:17:05,168 --> 01:17:14,511 The cracks in the wooden door looked like a heavy gate. 749 01:17:14,511 --> 01:17:19,883 A gate that separated me forever from my father. 750 01:17:22,486 --> 01:17:36,980 At that time, I... realized that... I could never go back to my broken, ruined home. 751 01:17:41,471 --> 01:17:47,310 I put «Romance of Three Kingdoms», the novel that I had just bought, in front of the doorway. 752 01:17:50,013 --> 01:17:53,884 Then, I turned around and ran to the alley entrance. 753 01:17:55,852 --> 01:18:08,165 I ran quicker and quicker... like the day Father was chasing me with a gun in his hands. 754 01:18:14,037 --> 01:18:17,574 When I reached the end of the lane I turned and looked back. 755 01:18:20,644 --> 01:18:27,751 This time I really knew how miserable it was to have left home. 756 01:18:47,671 --> 01:18:49,405 Buddy. 757 01:18:49,973 --> 01:18:51,074 Buddy. 758 01:18:51,608 --> 01:18:52,742 Buddy. 759 01:18:53,910 --> 01:18:56,046 Buddy... 760 01:18:59,082 --> 01:19:02,819 Little one. Don't be afraid ! 761 01:19:05,422 --> 01:19:07,791 Little one. What's your name? 762 01:19:09,826 --> 01:19:13,263 Luo Ping. - Luo Ping? 763 01:19:14,431 --> 01:19:18,969 Luo Ping. Why did you come to this park alone on New Year's Eve? 764 01:19:21,905 --> 01:19:23,940 Where do you live? 765 01:19:26,076 --> 01:19:27,977 Yingge. 766 01:19:28,511 --> 01:19:30,346 Yingge? 767 01:19:31,681 --> 01:19:36,486 There's a cold front tonight. You can't sleep in the park or you'll catch a cold. 768 01:19:41,992 --> 01:19:43,859 Take this. 769 01:19:44,928 --> 01:19:46,696 Take this. Don't be afraid. 770 01:19:56,873 --> 01:19:58,808 Do you have a place to go? 771 01:20:00,577 --> 01:20:04,848 What do you say I take you to my place, OK? 772 01:20:04,848 --> 01:20:09,352 I live in Dalongdong. There's a half pot of chicken soup at home. 773 01:20:09,352 --> 01:20:11,287 You must be awfully hungry, aren't you? 774 01:20:13,290 --> 01:20:15,091 Follow me. 775 01:20:20,630 --> 01:20:22,465 It's cold, isn't it? 776 01:20:25,001 --> 01:20:29,639 Luo Ping. Let's run there, OK? 777 01:20:30,774 --> 01:20:39,770 Follow me. Let's go! One, two, one, two... 778 01:20:39,770 --> 01:21:11,370 One, two, one, two... [Children song "Plum Blossoms on the Snow"] 779 01:21:17,687 --> 01:21:26,796 [Cao Ruiyuan, the director] I thought at first the novel "Crystal Boys" was about a gay community. 780 01:21:26,796 --> 01:21:32,569 When I watched it on television I realized it talks about a part of Taiwanese history. 781 01:21:32,569 --> 01:21:38,608 It is about an entire generation and the atmosphere of the time. 782 01:21:38,608 --> 01:21:41,444 I think this is not just a gay-themed novel. 783 01:21:41,444 --> 01:21:50,854 Mr. Pai kept 10 characters in the play. Those years cannot be recreated easily. 784 01:21:55,024 --> 01:22:01,297 With some elements of theatre, I took an abstract approach to revive the spirit of the time. 785 01:22:01,297 --> 01:22:05,235 But lotus flowers are very symbolic in our culture. 786 01:22:05,235 --> 01:22:11,775 A lotus means something like redemption, rebirth... those kind of abstract connotations were used. 787 01:22:11,775 --> 01:22:19,048 Lotus flowers in the play were linked with realistic scenes. 788 01:22:19,048 --> 01:22:21,818 Perhaps, this can only be done on the stage. 789 01:22:21,818 --> 01:22:31,561 Doing the same thing in films or television would be a little bit too much. 790 01:22:36,065 --> 01:22:43,973 [Pai Hsien-yung, the author] Novels rely on words, like movies on television. 791 01:22:43,973 --> 01:22:49,379 Because most of the time you need to write realistically, you write realistic scenes. 792 01:22:49,379 --> 01:23:04,027 So we had to make the scenes of my novel, the characters and the form, show the beauty of the words of the novel. 793 01:23:04,027 --> 01:23:09,933 I think stage plays, about that particular point, are the most faithful to novels. 794 01:23:09,933 --> 01:23:12,268 Our play, moreover, has made full use of the Crystal Boys text. 795 01:23:24,481 --> 01:23:38,094 Some monologues and an aside, come from the novel. 796 01:23:38,094 --> 01:23:46,236 We can almost say that stage plays conserve the text of novels. 797 01:24:08,558 --> 01:24:16,532 Whatever you talk about, Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet, Macbeth, or King Lear... 798 01:24:16,532 --> 01:24:27,241 All of them are Shakespeare's writings where monologues reached their height and became classics in theatre forever. 799 01:24:27,241 --> 01:24:33,016 I think stage plays must not lose the beauty of the text, it's still very important. 800 01:24:39,789 --> 01:24:50,099 An important thing about stage plays is that they can often talk about a literary work that is abstract and full of symbols. 801 01:24:50,099 --> 01:24:58,875 But this is quite difficult, so we used dance here. Dance is an abstract body language. 802 01:24:58,875 --> 01:25:06,416 I think one of the most beautiful ways to express that is by using dance. 803 01:25:06,416 --> 01:25:15,158 Modern dance is a kind of dance that can express a lot of inner emotions. 804 01:25:15,158 --> 01:25:20,296 It can be flamboyant, bold and unrestrained, you can have acrobatics... 805 01:25:20,296 --> 01:25:29,939 In the novel, Phoenix is a kind of wild guy who can't be restrained. 806 01:25:29,939 --> 01:25:36,903 I thought dance would bring a realistic atmosphere to the text. 807 01:25:36,903 --> 01:25:41,016 With the help of dance, you give the text a kind of symbolized meaning. 808 01:25:41,017 --> 01:25:47,023 So I think we wanted to see the guys looking at life with enthusiasm and heat. 809 01:25:47,023 --> 01:25:51,861 We didn't want the whole play to look like a tragedy. 810 01:25:51,861 --> 01:26:00,970 A very isolated and dark group would not be real for the time. 811 01:26:00,970 --> 01:26:07,977 All of this is in the play, but I just used a different way to show it. 812 01:26:12,148 --> 01:26:14,851 Mainly because of Phoenix... 813 01:26:14,851 --> 01:26:18,254 Above all, the fact that he uses dance shapes his character. 814 01:26:18,254 --> 01:26:25,962 He can't be touched. He's distant. He's an abstract character. 815 01:26:25,962 --> 01:26:28,064 He doesn't have a single line of dialogue. 816 01:26:28,064 --> 01:26:34,303 In the play, the completely unpredictable Phoenix wanted to escape from his love relationship. 817 01:26:34,303 --> 01:26:44,747 He was constantly fleeing and pulling away, but love was there. 818 01:26:44,747 --> 01:26:47,817 This kind of character is very suitable for dance. 819 01:26:47,817 --> 01:26:50,920 Dragon Prince, played by Matt Wu, is realistic 820 01:26:50,920 --> 01:27:03,499 because he's, I think, filled to the brim with suffering because he has a lot of unbearable past memories. 821 01:27:03,499 --> 01:27:10,943 So he's on the stage performing a man that I think is not normal. 822 01:27:10,943 --> 01:27:17,880 Matt Wu had to use a lot of emotions and performed a man who's suffering intensely. 823 01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:29,959 Phoenix's dance moves, soft and then graceful were, in contrast, unpredictable when he was with the wounded Dragon Prince. 824 01:27:33,196 --> 01:27:37,033 Originally in the novel, the master was a man. 825 01:27:37,033 --> 01:27:45,308 New Park kids sought to survive in the society, and he took them under his wing. 826 01:27:45,308 --> 01:27:55,051 When we decided to make "Crystal Boys" into a play, we expected to use different possibilities for showing the story. 827 01:27:55,051 --> 01:28:04,560 We wanted everyone to have a new vision of the novel through the play. 828 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:11,300 So I thought, what if the Master was lesbian? 829 01:28:11,300 --> 01:28:19,609 She could understand gay feelings, because she's attracted by the same sex too. 830 01:28:19,609 --> 01:28:27,283 A woman who could understand them, who's maternal and careful, 831 01:28:27,283 --> 01:28:33,089 and so could benefit those young gay men, those "birds of youth". 832 01:28:33,089 --> 01:28:36,726 They would have a real chemistry together, I thought. 833 01:28:36,726 --> 01:28:47,249 She wouldn't lead those "birds of youth" as firmly or as strictly as the original character did. 834 01:28:47,249 --> 01:28:51,941 She could have something feminine or tender in her hands, 835 01:28:51,941 --> 01:29:02,619 but the moral standards of the time forced lesbians to be more masculine. 836 01:29:02,619 --> 01:29:04,821 In other words, her manners would need to have some mettle. 837 01:29:04,821 --> 01:29:11,428 She would have to be sometimes sharper and less discreet, 838 01:29:11,428 --> 01:29:14,529 especially because of the standards of the time. 839 01:29:14,529 --> 01:29:17,553 So I thought they would have a few struggles. 840 01:29:21,203 --> 01:29:24,273 Aska Yang did approximately four out of five of the songs. 841 01:29:35,351 --> 01:29:42,124 I think a play needs to have one thrill after another. 842 01:29:42,124 --> 01:29:53,169 The rhythm of a play can easily become slow and make the spectators feel tired. 843 01:29:53,169 --> 01:30:01,344 When the theme song of the play, performed by Aska Yang, started, it pumped up the whole play. 844 01:30:01,344 --> 01:30:09,218 Aska Yang was truly, really great while singing the theme song. 845 01:30:09,218 --> 01:30:12,822 Our hopes for the play "Crystal Boys" were fulfilled. 846 01:30:46,489 --> 01:30:48,828 Lights go out ! Black ! 847 01:30:48,828 --> 01:30:54,577 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 848 01:30:54,577 --> 01:30:57,308 The long cotton cloth curtain is coming down. 849 01:30:57,333 --> 01:30:59,969 Picture of a gay parade. 850 01:30:59,969 --> 01:31:02,838 Silence. The characters are coming on the stage. Slowly. 851 01:31:03,472 --> 01:31:12,148 Originally we wanted to see a gay parade at the end of the stage play. 852 01:31:12,148 --> 01:31:22,224 It was, of course, to make you think about those who've been marching for decades. 853 01:31:22,224 --> 01:31:28,998 They're still looking for society to learn about them, to understand them. 854 01:31:28,998 --> 01:31:32,969 So I think there's an echo of the past. 855 01:31:32,969 --> 01:31:38,441 And, as I always say, you create something. 856 01:31:38,441 --> 01:31:54,806 You hope that it will make everyone think about it and that it will have an impact on them. 857 01:31:54,806 --> 01:32:01,345 In other words, they look for approval, for family approval... in fact, everyone's. 858 01:32:01,346 --> 01:32:04,366 And they especially want to have a harmonious father-and-son relationship. 859 01:32:04,367 --> 01:32:10,039 I think the novel talks about family's reconciliation... father-and-son reconciliation. 860 01:32:10,039 --> 01:32:13,309 This is still a problem that they are facing now. 861 01:32:13,309 --> 01:32:16,612 I think this shows the warm side of human beings. 862 01:32:16,612 --> 01:32:18,413 So I think every generation 863 01:32:18,413 --> 01:32:26,389 and all the different media materials that created "Crystal Boys" showed the story from different angles. 864 01:32:26,389 --> 01:32:30,059 It's no longer the story of a novel. 865 01:32:30,059 --> 01:32:35,097 It's no longer talking about a gay community in Taiwan in the 50s or the 60s. 866 01:32:35,097 --> 01:32:39,301 In fact, it's more than that. If you look at the entire world, it's still an issue. 867 01:32:39,301 --> 01:32:48,044 Those people are still looking for society's approval. They're still fighting for their rights. 868 01:32:48,044 --> 01:32:50,212 The play can make you think about that. 869 01:32:50,212 --> 01:32:55,618 This can make you understand it more. They remain in the same situation. 870 01:32:57,586 --> 01:33:01,657 There are only 8 presentations in Taipei and 3 in Kaohsiung. 871 01:33:01,657 --> 01:33:05,159 The thing is that we live on a very small island. 872 01:33:05,261 --> 01:33:09,632 But what we have to do today is to make this work known by more and more people. 873 01:33:09,632 --> 01:33:14,286 I believe it will be. 874 01:33:27,275 --> 01:33:37,275 Subs by SiegfriedQC (Thanks to Howard Goldblatt for his English version of the novel) http://subcrystalboys.wikia.com
