A Beauty in Troubled Times (Luan Shi Jia Ren / 乱世佳人)

Gone with the Wind

Gone with the Wind Episode 1

Today in Shanghai, I am

the bride who everyone is envious of, Zhang Lian Xin.

But in this place there isn't anyone

who can see the unease in my heart

because I have hid my past from the bridegroom, He Tian.

At that time, my name was Zhang Ping Er.

That time

is too painful to dwell on.

Mr Hè Tiān

are you willing

to take Miss Zhang Lian Xin to be your lawfully wedded wife

from this day forward, to love,

comfort,

respect her and protect her?

I do.

Miss. Zhang Lian Xin

do you take Mr. He Tian as your lawfully wedded husband

to have and hold from this day forward.

In sickness and in health, are you willing to give up all else,

to be faithful and loyal to him?

I...

No!

Ping Er I know you won't accept.

What are you going to do?

Sorry for interrupting.

I'm not here to ruin everything.

I'm the bride's, Ping Er's', friend.

We grew up together.

Ping Er tell everyone that I'm not an evil person.

I'm just a brother who took care of you from young, Zhang Wen Jing.

At that time you went to school in Xiao Die's place.

Everyday I would wait for you at your house until you came home from school.

I even gave you a bracelet.

At that time you said you loved me.

No, I never said that.

Yes you did.

Zhang Wén Jǐn,

If you really want Lian Xin to be well,

then let go!

You shut up!

Don't try anything!

Shoot me! Shoot me!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Shoot me!

I'm warning you!

The bombs on me

are powerful enough to blow up the entire church.

Come over here! - Let me go!

Come here! - Let me go!

Lian Xin,

come here!

Don't move.

Year 1931

Under the iron fist of the Japanese occupation,

the night before the puppet emperor Puyi was restored to power.

Students,

today you are one of many students.

Tomorrow there is only one name,

Wáng Guó Nú.

This is the last lesson of Chinese Literature.

Help them change.

No! No!

No!

Princess, all of the candidates are here.

All are Manchu

and all are fifth level Japanese honor students.

You are an elder in the royal family.

Please hurry and help choose a princess for Prince Puyi.

Colonel San Tien,

don't you Japanese people keep claiming

to support the restoration of the Qing Emperor?

Now, even though the old rules have been abolished,

still, we are speaking of choosing a bride for the Emperor.

No matter what, we must respect the ancestral family rules.

How could you use guns to force the young ladies here?

This is not the Forbidden City.

This is Manchuria.

The divorce of Concubine Shu

is already very damaging to the imperial power.

So this time for The Emperor's coronation,

there must be a new princess.

This is also the wish of the Japanese Empire.

Father,

who are they?

Shan Tien Xiong Fu at your service

representing the Xuan Yang Society

to inquire after the well-being of Your Highness.

Nevermind.

I hope there are pearls hidden in the mud.

I don't want to enter the palace!

No!

Scoundrel! Stop now!

You come out.

Go out!

I'm deciding on her.

That set of court robes is hers.

Let's go.

Go!

It's a medicine bag.

Princess

You score full marks in Japanese class

but why did you hide this on your person

Chinese literature that is forbidden by the Japanese?

Japanese and English are both

secondary subjects for me.

My main area of study is Chinese Literature.

My passion is also Chinese Literature.

Excellent delineation.

Speaking but not revealing

with good manners and respect.

I wager that you are not a traitorous dog of the Japanese.

Are you willing to enter the court to serve The Emperor?

I know nothing about life at court.

But I have seen today

that all of the palace people live under the guns of the Japanese

on the the verge of expiring.

You dare to mock us as puppets of the Japanese?

Seeing how much you love your Chinese Literature

"Those who suit their actions to the time are wise."

Do you understand?

I'm stubborn by nature,

ignorant of the times

and unwilling to enter the palace.

Princess, please allow this.

Princess cease to be angry. Princess cease to be angry.

You have quite a bit of courage.

I imagine The Emperor will also favor

a young lady who can't abandon Chinese Literature.

Bring her into the inner quarters!

Let me out!

I don't want to enter the palace!

Princess,

what do you want to do now?

We have already decided on another girl

called Shan Tien Da Zi.

She is the most suitable empress for The Emperor

and not the girl, Zhang Xiao Die, that the Princess picked out.

Zhang Xiao Die is the candidate I'm most satisfied with.

Why should I accept your choice?

For the future harmonious relations between Japan and Manchuria,

the new princess must love Japanese culture

and not some Chinese Literature.

Princess, for the sake of The Emperor,

I wish to privately discuss this with you.

Princess please use this.

Colonel Shan Tien,

is Da Zi a Chinese orphan that you have adopted?

Those people with unknown origins

most definitely cannot enter the palace

unless you kill me.

Princess,

it's strange how you chose a stubborn-natured empress

and not one that understands the times.

Don't say anything more!

Choosing an empress from among students with the highest marks in Japanese

is already extremely ridiculous.

Being a part of such a ridiculous selection process,

is already the biggest concession on my part.

You...

Chief,

the girl has escaped!

Zhang Xiao Die used this medicine to poison the princess.
