From the Queen to the Chief Executive (等候董建華發落)

I, Tung Chee Wah, do solemnly swear to serve as the

Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region

of the People's Republic of China,

and to support the Basic Law of the HKSAR of the People's Republic of China,

and swear allegiance to the HKSAR of the People's Republic of China,

to perform my duty to the best of my ability and obey the law,

to honestly serve the HKSAR,

responsible to the Central People's Government,

the People's Republic of China and the HKSAR

Mr Tung (Chief Executive of the HKSAR),

these juvenile offenders were very young when they committed their crimes

Yet theirterms were more severe than those for adult criminals

Really, Councillor? Why didn't you let me know earlier?

In fact each of them wrote to you

You were probably too busy to deal with it

I wrote you three times too

They've never given up on themselves. They are all very industrious

Help them to remit their sentences; give them a chance at a new life

Do I have the right to remit sentences?

Article 48 of the Basic Law states that our Chief Executive has the right

Andrew Li (Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal) is a good judge,

and has a high reputation in the realm of Law

People are delighted he is the Chief Justice in the Court of Final Appeal

Can I change the sentences he handed down?

Are they religious?

It would be better for them if they are

That they at least have some mental support to cling to

Year of 1985

Be smart, won't you? We're supposed to be stealing copper!

You didn't even bring a rope; what's the matter with you?

How did you become the chief, huh? Useless!

Chief!

What?

Look!

Copper's so heavy,

why don't we just go and rob them?

Yeah! Chief!

Why not?

We fixed that chick!

Let's go! Run...

Mom, I'm going to a movie with my classmate, I'm going now

Be home early!

OK!

What are you doing, Yue-ling? So sneaky!

What are you hiding?

Is this yours?

I can't go in my uniform

They'll laugh at me forthat

Is that what you're worried about?

You don't want your uniform; all you fancy are cheap dresses like this!

And you make yourself look like a street kid

Aren't you worried about getting raped?

I can't let you wear it!

I must cut it up!

Let go!... let go!

Damn you! I spent so much effort bringing you to Hong Kong

I work like a dog

Yet you don't like school

You damned girl, you really drive me nuts

You damned girl, you really drive me nuts

Two bodies were found this morning in Braemar Hill

A foreign couple was found dead in the bushes.

It was you who brought me to Hong Kong

You said this was paradise

People call me country girl in school

People here are bad,

including you!

I even have to wear my uniform to go to the corner store

Who is it?

It's me, King!

We worked on the same assembly line

What do you want?

This is Mr Leung, King! This is Miss Cheung!

He's helping us

The factory is very mean to us

Why don't you go on strike with us tomorrow?

I have stopped work, this is a strike

Workers should fight for themselves

The factory and society won't understand exactly what you need

when you just stop going to work

The factory wouldn't dare to exploit your rights...

if all watch workers made a sit-in protest

Take it away! I'm scared!

Don't worry!

Just hold the bag tight

Do you want me to take you out to play?

Yeah! I want to go to Ocean Park, to a movie and skating

Fine... fine! Whereveryou want...

as long as you're good

You're the only person in Hong Kong who's nice to me, uncle!

If you behave, I'll treat you even better

Why are your panties so big?

I don't have my own underwear

They are somebody else's

I'll buy you some if you behave

Good afternoon, police confirm that the couple found dead in Braemar Hill...

were Form 6 students at an English Foundation School

Their parents are British, working in Hong Kong

After learning the news,

the dead girl's motherfainted,

and the dead boy's father was very angry

Whoever did this to my son and his girlfriend deserve a death penalty

They'd be put to death, they're animals, they shouldn't be walking around!

Villains are everywhere in Hong Kong,

even adults are always getting taken

I'll treat you very nicely if you're a good girl

Don't tell Aunt Kim about us

Will you treat me better if Aunt Kim dies?

Will you treat me better if Aunt Kim dies?

Will you treat me better if Aunt Kim dies?

Will you treat me better if Aunt Kim dies?

There have never been cheers of support, Hard work has not brought happiness

Floating at the bottom of society, the heart didn't die of countless woes

The anger in me... is like a lioness woken from sleep

Walking the picket line together, ourfates are tied

The moment we're fighting the battle together, the green mountain, the sea, and the sky

This is the mark we leave in the world. The cheers shake the sky

My bladder has problems

That goddamned group leader only lets me go to the washroom twice a day

In fact this strike

is a breakthrough for the workers' movement

We recruited many workers for the sit-in protest

in a very short time

We object to the very unjust rules in the factory

The anger in me... is like a lioness woken from sleep

Walking the picket line together, ourfates are tied

The moment we're fighting the battle together, the green mountain, the sea, and the sky

This is the mark we leave in the world. The cheers shake the sky

Our protest is not mentioned,

Mr. Leung, only the Braemar Hill couple

All the front-page headlines are taken

There is really nothing about us

Have you read them thoroughly?

Yes, I did!

The Braemar Hill murder has a hidden cause:

McBrady's left shoulder was injured, leading to his and his girlfriend's death

Cheung Yau-ming, aged 16,

was charged with killing the British couple, John McBrady and Helen Hayes...

in Braemar Hill on April 17, 1985. The accused is guilty of murder...

Since you're not an adult,

you are to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure

Year of 1997, 6 months before Handover

Don't cry!

I'll feed you shit if you do!

Stop crying! I'm really gonna feed you shit if you don't!

I'll kill you if you don't stop!

Cheung Yau-ming, I'm Yue-ling, your classmate at the Open University

Having read your article in the student press,

I find your language very lively

I don't know why I imagined you were a piano player...

and wanted to write you a letter

When I found out your address

I realised you were a prisoner

When I lost to you in the prose competition,

I read your article again

Suddenly, I wanted to know more about you

I only sent you an unsolicited letter

I didn't expect you'd be willing to meet me so quickly

Jail visit? That way!

Your identification card, please!

Who are you visiting?

Cheung Yau-ming

Do you know his number?

I brought him some books

Hard-cover books are not allowed

OK!

Here's your identification card!

Thank you!

None of these are allowed. Put them in locker no. 13

Thank you!

Leave all metal stuff here

Raise your hands. Higher!

OK!

Take your keys back!

Cheung Yau Ming

I'm Cheung Yue-ling!

I'm Cheung Yue-ling!

Thanks for coming to see me!

I wanted to come long ago

But I was very busy

You are not a local?

I came from the Mainland in my teens, with my Mom

I once tried very hard to learn Cantonese

Because I wanted to be like a local!

But now I find there's no need

Ijust want to be myself

We are Chinese, after all!

So do you speak Potunghua?

What topic did you choose for translation?

Law

Law?

I feel a chill in my bones whenever I hear the word

I can't help it! We come across it here every day

No wonder a lot of my friends here say...

that every mother-and-son meeting is like a tragic movie

What about you? Is it a comedy when you and yourfamily meet?

I've been here for 12 years

My family never came to visit me
