War of Faith (追风者)

Did they give you a hard time?

For the carters' families,

I've arranged for

a lot of pension.

It doesn't change things,

but it's better than nothing.

And those reporters

took bribes,

so no one will dare speak

for the truth.

Got it.

Let's get a drink

to relax.

Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen.

You really surprised me today.

It's normal for someone like me to do dirty work.

It's my duty.

But you are

always well-dressed and righteous,

yet you also drop the ball at critical moments.

I really thought you'd speak for the people

at the press conference today.

How does it feel to clean up Mr. Kang's mess?

And you.

I used to be passionate

and upright

like you.

But after going through a lot,

I've matured.

Don't worry.

You'll become like me soon.

Take care.

Sir, I don't understand.

Why aren't...

good people

rewarded?

As the old saying goes,

"Evildoers get gold belts;

good people can't even keep their corpses."

It's always been like this.

But have they forgotten

Sun Yat-sen's last wish?

Or

do oaths

mean nothing?

Some join the party

to change China.

Others join

for prestige and fortune.

We can't demand others to change.

We can only stay true

to our beliefs.

Did you stay true to your beliefs?

Is this the result you wanted?

No.

Of course not.

Mr. Song promised me

that this case

will be submitted to Chairman Chiang,

and he'd punish whomever deserves it,

even if it's his family.

Counterfeit coins

will never appear in Shanghai again

and the opium will be destroyed secretly.

I know it's not enough, but...

But what we did

was

not in vain.

Many think I'm in a high position,

so I'm omnipotent.

But actually...

I'm helpless with many things.

As Mr. Qichao said,

"The flames of passion can't be extinguished."

Let's take it step by step.

Even Sun Yat-sen had to compromise a lot

at the start of his revolution,

let alone us.

I can compromise and tolerate.

But I don't want

to become like Lin Qiaosong

where it's a habit.

You won't.

You're different.

He was once passionate

with ambitions and ideals...

I said, you won't!

Trust me.

Let's move on

and look forward,

okay?

As long as we don't give up,

we can change everything.

We...

We have to carry this burden

so that the ones we love,

the next generation,

and the next

can truly have

better lives.

Look at me.

Trust me.

Don't forget your roots.

I won't.

Now repeat your original belief.

Serve the country.

Again.

Serve the country!

Serve the country!

Embed this in your bones

and your blood.

If you let me down,

I'll kick you out myself.

Yes.

Remember.

Yes.

From now on,

Wei Ruolai

will be my last apprentice.

I'm his teacher

and political guarantor.

I'll remember it.

I'll try my best

and not let you down.

Okay.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

Biao.

Open it.

You may leave.

Okay.

Go in.

He's inside.

Sit.

Here.

Sorry it's shabby.

Don't cry.

I'm fine.

I can go out in a few years.

A few years?

How many years do you have to spare?

You risk your life for them.

But they make you

take the blame alone.

They're inhumane!

A bunch of beasts!

Don't be like this.

You don't understand.

Only when you take the blame

are you one of them.

When I get out, I'll be important to them.

Really.

Do you really

think that?

Ridiculous!

Is this

for me?

Let me see.

Sit down.

Drink the soup while it's hot.

Don't just hold it.

Drink it while it's hot.

Maybe...

Don't wait for me.

Marry a dependable man.

Don't go for those

who use guns.

Pointless.

Dumping me again?

Listen up.

Impossible.

You promised me

my name will be on your tombstone.

I...

I was joking.

I'm Lin Qiaosong's wife.

You promised me!

There are only two things in my life.

First,

to find my brother.

Second,

to marry you.

It's just a few years.

I'll wait.

We'll be good when you get out.

You're such a fool.

I don't deserve it.

I don't deserve it.

Hello, sir.

Okay, wait a moment.

Hello, I need to deposit this.

Okay.

Hold on.

Please sign your name here and here.
