UFO in Her Eyes

Kwok Yun!

Who's Kwok Yun?

Are you Kwok Yun?

Are you looking for me? What's the matter?

I'm a police officer from Beijing.

Beijing? That's a long way away!

Let's talk over there.

Chief Chang reported that you saw a flying object.

This is a highly sensitive matter.

So you must truthfully answer all my questions!

Age?

35.

Gender?

What?

Male or female?

Female.

Stop playing! Go home!

Follow your sister home.

I'm the Chief of Three-Headed Bird Village.

Here, we have 500 acres of farmland,

750 villagers, and 20 party members.

You might not know this,

but our village has an amazing heritage.

On the aesthetic side,

we have beautiful mountains, rivers and beautiful people everywhere.

Of historical interest

is the fact that our great leader Mao Zedong

was born only 10 kilometres from here.

That's enough!

Tell me about Kwok Yun, who saw the UFO.

Kwok Yun?

Chief!

I saw a gigantic glowing thing in the sky!

A glowing thing?

Chief...

Lunch!

You know, a big glowing thing in the sky!

It flew over Farmer Wong's fields!

Speak clearly!

What was the shape of this flying object?

Just like a... dumpling.

A dumpling?

Be obedient!

Your status?

What status?

Job, age, identity.

And what did you see on September 11?

I'm 48 years old. I'm a peasant.

This is my son, this is my buffalo.

This is my rice field, and that is my tree.

Kwok Yun said

on that day she saw the flying thing over my tree.

I only heard about it later.

It was really hot that day!

- Hello, Headmaster. - Hello.

Why have you stopped playing? Pick it up.

Enjoy yourself but behave.

Where were you on September 11?

Did you meet anyone?

September 11?

Maybe I passed some fields...

but I didn't see anyone. I was very very busy that day.

Who is that?

Never mind, she's just my wife.

Ha, your wife?

She looks a little grumpy.

It's fucking hot here!

Isn't it?

Hey, bicycle man!

Do you hear me?

Did you see that UFO the other day?

You saw it?

Report to me!

You don't understand?

Are you deaf and dumb? Speak!

You're not a local?

I can't believe they have migrants here!

Anyway, what did you see on September 11?

My surname is Kwok,

I'm Kwok Minjun.

Kwok Yun is my granddaughter.

Several days ago, I heard from the villagers

that my granddaughter saw a strange flying thing.

Motherfucker!

What's the point of asking me this?

I just remember that morning...

the moon-calendar said:

"It's good to open doors,

walk in the fields, plant crops."

So I didn't close the door.

I walked down the mountain to the market.

I passed the graveyard.

The wind blew through the gravestones.

I thought, what are we struggling for?

We're all going to die anyway...

This time I want more details.

Married or single?

Who can I marry?

The men here are all married, or as old as my grandfather.

No one to marry!

You're not young and not married.

But you still might have a boyfriend.

How rude!

Your parents?

There!

Dead.

Killed in an explosion at the mine where I work.

There was nothing left. All I got back was a finger.

Alright.

Tell me what happened that day.

Start from the beginning, don't leave out any details.

It was really hot that day,

I woke up later than usual.

I'd dreamt about my parents.

My mum was nagging me again:

"If a woman doesn't marry, the villagers think she's a slut."

I'm not interested in your dreams!

Just tell me what happened that morning, in detail.

What sort of details?

Like I got my period that day? Details like that?

Carry on.

My period came that morning.

I bled so much...

I was worried that people would smell my blood.

Do you know what it's like to have a period?

Your body feels like an earthworm,

the worms in our chive fields.

An earthworm has two blood vessels.

One takes blood to the tail, the other pumps it back to the head.

That's how my body felt that day.

Blood pulsing through my body, like a water pipe bursting.

All the villagers say,

period pain goes away after a woman gives birth.

Shit! They're so mean.

They know I have nobody to marry.

I tell you,

people here have no mercy!

Do you remember anything else?

I just saw that glowing thing,

I fainted.

When I woke up...

I'll go and get you some medicine.

A dumpling?

What else?

A foreigner, with hairy legs!

A foreigner?

Carry on.

The foreigner's leg was bleeding. So I took him home.

You took him home?

He was almost dying.

You made a serious political error!

You should have brought him to my office!

So what happened then?

I left him to get some medicine. When I came back, he was gone.

Look at you!

You took him home and lost him.

You let a foreigner run around loose in the village!

If something had happened, you'd have been responsible!

I always hoped you wouldn't be so useless. You must study!

Look at me! I'm about to retire, but I still study!

You must reform yourself!

To become a qualified modern peasant.

I think we must call the Town Bureau.

Hello, Town Bureau? Here's Three-Headed Bird Village...

It's Comrade Chu.

I have something to report,

something very important.

Tell me more about what the Chief said.

I heard her say

"UFO".

Chief Chang taught Kwok Yun some astronomy.

This is the Solar System.

These are the nine planets of the Solar System.

This is the Earth.

This is the Moon.

The Earth circles around the Sun.

While the Moon circles around the Earth.

And the Chief believes,

there are planets like the Earth in other galaxies.

When their inhabitants visited Earth,

we saw their UFO in our village.

Our country's name is "Zhong Guo", People's Republic of China.

Zhong Guo means Centre of the World.

So we Chinese are our own sun, we don't circle around anyone!

But then we used to circle around the Soviet Union...

before it fell apart.

And now...

we circle around the USA.

Do you understand or not?

Lobster

My name is Li Sheng.

The villagers call me Carp Li.

- Do you live by yourself? - Yes.

What about your wife and children?

My daughter married the headmaster.

The headmaster?

So that fat grumpy woman is your daughter?

Yes.

OK, let's get down to business.

Did you see the UFO recently?
