Winter Begonia (Bin Bian Bu Shi Hai Tang Hong / 鬓边不是海棠红)

Winter Begonia

Episode 35

When the time is right,

you can revolt

and drive the Japanese out of our country.

That’ll surely grace our family.

Father,

you...

I’m no coward, aren’t I?

But this is unfair to you.

You know what others call you?

It’s only temporary.

That Japanese woman is still outside.

You and I

rarely open our hearts to each other.

How about we put on a show for her?

You think you’re old enough

to lecture me?

Get the hell out!

Whatever!

Don’t regret it, geezer!

Piss off!

Lieutenant Sun.

Yes.

Awaiting your order, sir.

I have an important task for you.

Sis,

I truly admire you.

You were decisive

and made huge sacrifices

for our family in the past.

Now, right after seeing your husband off,

you could still put on a smile.

Few women could do this.

Were I that kind of

fun-chasing housewife,

would my husband love me till this day?

He and you are a couple.

I also risked my life to be a hostage here.

I didn’t tell you for your sake.

Besides,

you aren’t imprisoned.

You can stay

if you want.

If not,

you and your family can go abroad.

My husband and I won’t blame you.

In this time of crisis,

if I abandoned you

and left alone,

when your husband came back,

he’d kill me.

Not to mention

we’re siblings.

Sis,

why don’t we

leave Peking together?

We can go to Britain.

Don’t worry about your husband’s assets.

Once we arrive there,

I can buy a house

and hire housekeepers for you.

Also,

I’ll give half of my earning

to you.

Your words alone

are more than enough.

But then again,

if I leave,

what about my husband?

What if the Japanese pressure him?

Fengtai,

look,

your fortune

is more than enough to support our family.

Just shut down your agency.

If it attracts the Japanese’s attention,

you’ll be in trouble.

I can’t.

I can’t close it.

Right now, the city is lack of supplies.

People don’t have enough food to eat.

We’re delivering grains, not foreign goods.

If we're closed,

some will die of hunger.

You're more caring than I thought.

Fine.

I won’t stop you.

Just do what you see fit.

I have to leave.

My friends are waiting for me to play cards.

What’s with the rush?

Who are you playing with?

Men or women?

Are you cheating on your husband?

I’ll tell him.

I have to make it look real.

Now that he’s gone,

I’m going to play and party every day

to fool the Japanese.

Bye.

Fill the cup.

Master.

Our new Yang Yanhui Visits His Mother

is popular.

All seats are taken.

Of course!

I can perform new operas as Shang Xirui does.

A piece of cake!

I just didn’t want to.

My performance

is as good if not better.

I wonder what tomorrow’s newspaper will say.

I already paid people

to give good reviews.

Don’t worry.

Don’t move! Freeze!

What's going on?

Leader! Leader!

The Japanese broke in

to arrest resisters.

What?

We have no such people.

Help! Somebody help!

-Let go of me! -Move!

What’s the matter with you?

Let me go!

Move!

What are you doing?

Refund! Refund! Refund!

Master, shall we start?

Start?

Start my foot!

Didn’t you hear they demand refunds?

You son of a bitch!

Are you trying to kill me?

We have stuffed buns today.

Let’s eat buns.

Give me some.

Thank you.

Do you know

Yunxi Theater planned to make a bundle

with their debut of the new opera yesterday?

They even invited reporters.

Unfortunately,

the Japanese burst in to make an arrest,

so they didn’t get to perform

and had to pay a huge compensation.

-Vice will be punished by vice. -They deserve it.

Smells good.

-Mr. Cheng. -Mr. Cheng.

-Hello, Mr. Cheng. -Mr. Cheng.

Have you eaten?

Sit and eat with us.

I’m good.

Where’s Mr. Shang?

Is he sleeping in?

When have you ever seen him

sleeping till this hour?

Our leader

never stops practicing

regardless of the weather.

Well,

he went to train his voice by the river earlier.

However chaotic the situation is,

he never rests.

Back then, when Pingyang was attacked,

the supply chain was cut off.

Leader

used shell cases he collected at the city wall

to make his accessory.

He did!

Hello, Mr. Cheng.

Did you know

the Japanese made a scene at Yunxi Theater last night?

That’s already old news.

Other than making an arrest,

they were also sending a message

to rush Yunxi Theater

into joining the Opera Society.

By the way,

Mr. Shang,

I think

you should also cancel your performance

to stay low for a while.

How long will that be?

Clearly, the Japanese won’t leave any sooner.

Don’t stick your neck out.

Wait and see what others will do.

Mr. Shang,

I’d like to have a word with you.

Let’s talk in your room.

Let me eat first.

-Come on. -I'm starving!

Enough.

-See you, Mr. Cheng. -Good day, Mr. Cheng.

What’s up?

What’s with the secrecy?

Do you recognize this?

The bracelet looks good.
