Below the Lion Rock – From Vietnam(獅子山下：來客)

== TLF HALFCD TEAM ==

"The army is here. C'mon, hide in the house."

Have some porridge, dear

No

Don't make him eat it

We all want steamed rice, not porridge

He's a difficult child

It’s beautiful. Grandpa, come and see

Is it Hong Kong?

Grandpa, are you okay?

I’m fine

Have some medicine

Give me some water

"Water."

"I don't want it."

Listen, we've reached Hong Kong

Line up to go on shore

Be quiet and come out when I call your name

Can you see it?

Yes, the boat is here

One after another, don't push

Next. Hurry

"Photo?"

"My mom told me to give you the photo on shore."

"I’ll throw you into the water if you don't."

"Give him the photo, kid."

"Your son has arrived in Hong Kong."

"Is he alright?"

What? You don't even have HK$100-

Okay, I’ll have US$ 40 only

"My mom said she had everything paid

Do you want to get on the bus or not?

What is it?

He refuses to pay

You said all expenses were included

Mind your own business or get off the bus now

Get off, kid

"She's your guide. Go with her."

Yes, hurry up, kid

Get off

50 people of us stowed away on ship

Only we are Vietnamese Chinese

The others are all Vietnamese

Can you tell us what you've gone through?

We stowed away on ship

We all worked in Nha Trang City

We waited for a chance to escape from Vietnam

We worked as usual in daytime

It took us 9 days to get here

We haven't slept for days and were short of rice

so we had one meal every two days

I know you left Vietnam…

…because of political reasons

What do you think about Vietnam's situation?

Get the key at the reception desk

Would we be repatriated?

No, you can stay in Hong Kong for 3 months

If no foreign countries receive you…

within this period

you can apply for immigration once

And your expenses in Hong Kong…

…will be covered by the United Nations

What can I do for you, kid?

Where are your families?

Can you help me to find my cousin?

You don't speak Cantonese?

What's the problem?

Boss

I don't know what he wants

I’ll take care of this. Go to work

Did you arrive in Hong Kong tonight?

A woman told me to come here

You stay here for tonight

I’ll help you to find your cousin

Have some rest

"Brother…"

"Heung, hold my hand."

"Wait, Chiu, Wait for me."

"Okay, stop getting on the boat. Next round."

Please wait for my wife

Next round

Don't worry. They'll come back for you

Hurry…

Hurry, get on the ship. Hurry

Hurry

Policemen, set sail

"No, please wait for my wife."

"Brother, how about Heung?"

"Brother, I can't go with you."

"Brother…"

Johnny

Chan Zhong, is that you?

Looking for someone?

No, just post an ad. for Charles

He's looking for a copywriter

Why are you here?

Looking for my cousin

So? Still painting for the living?

Please, they're only daubs

When did your cousin arrive?

I think he just arrived last night

People from this hotel called me this morning…

…and said he's here. I came immediately

They said he stays on this floor

Okay

I got to go

Come to see me some time, bye

Bye

"Where are your brother and sister-in-law?"

"I don't have much money."

"I promised your mom to take care of you."

"Are things expensive in Hong Kong?"

"You know the exchange rate…

…of Hong Kong Dollar to Vietnamese Dong?"

70 VND 1 HKD

Here you are

Thank you, aunt Mui, you cook them yourself

This is aunt Mui

Aunt Mui

This is my cousin Ah Man. He just arrived

He seldom spoke Cantonese in the refugee camp

so he isn't very well conversant with the language

I see

"When someone helps you

you say 'thank you'."

"When someone gives you something

you say 'much obliged'."

"When you offend someone, you say 'sorry'."

"The thing we want to make a lot is 'money"'

Okay

Thank you

I think…we ought to put off our wedding

Mom, I received your letter today

Are you still suffering from headaches?

How are my brother and sister-in-law?

Johnny takes very good care of me

He's bought me a lot of things

I haven't found a job yet

Johnny said I should learn Cantonese first…

…and take it step by step

You know how I learn Cantonese?

Johnny has a telly at home

I watch telly everyday…

…and repeat after the actors

I can speak quite well now

I think I’ll look for a job soon…

…and save up enough money…

…to bring you all here

Hong Kong has many people

There are some streets where…

…people do business at night. It’s all pretty crowded

Mom, I’ll look after myself

Don't worry about me. Wish you good health

Hello?

Speaking

Which room?

1204. Okay, I’ll be right there

Looking for a seat?

Try table number 6

Excuse me

is the seat taken?

Ah Kei, bring me the bill…

I saw you at the hotel before

What hotel?

I saw you in the corridor

Is it Mei Hua Hotel?

I don't remember

You live with your family?

I came to Hong Kong alone

You don't know anyone in Hong Kong?

I stay with my cousin

YOU Hing Nin is your cousin?

You know him?

I met him that day

So he was there for you

Ah Man, may I take your order?

I would like some fried beef noodles, please

You're here alone. Aren't you bored?

I paint

You're welcome to my studio anytime…

…if you’re interested

Really?

You should go to bed

I saw you’re back, so I came to see you

It’s late. Go to bed

Johnny, I want to find a job

What kind of job?

When I had dinner at aunt Mui's restaurant

I met a painter. He said he knows you

What's his name?

Chan Zhong

Did he say anything about me?

No, his studio needs a trainee

I want to work for them

Hey, would you like to go overseas?

Where?

The States

My friend will help me with the application

I will bring you with me

I won't go
