[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 04]

Sir, something goes wrong.

The shipment of 023 is revealed.

What?

Zhang Qi found the 023 goods after the test flight.

He handed over one of the boxes

to the Peiping Aviation Defense at Qinghe Airport.

The Aviation Commission will investigate it.

The smuggling of military aircraft,

is a capital offense.

Clear out inventory.

No evidence should be left for the commission.

It's not easy to do.

Both Fuxing aircraft are filled with goods.

Today one is in Nanyuan and the other in Qinghe.

And these two boxes were bought with a big price.

If we clear them out,

that's going to be a deficit.

Stupid!

Loser!

Now those goods are on the tip of their knives.

Or you clear the goods out.

Or you will be cleaned out by others.

Sir, you led me into the business with the Japanese.

Now that something has happened,

you can't just walk away.

Calm down.

Peiping has not been peaceful lately.

People at the Qinghe Defense Station

was busy with air defense.

Not everyone knows the goods,

so they won't take it as a matter of importance.

As for the box in the Qinghe warehouse

and the two boxes on the plane,

you need to think how to handle them.

If you handle them well, we won't lose too much.

Do you know how to do it?

Yes, I do.

I'd never miss this time.

I need to think of an excuse,

otherwise father won't agree.

Okay, just say for military training.

Lanshan.

Do you really think that

it would have something to do with pigeons?

We've been to the pigeon loft in Professor Jin's house,

and there is nothing inside.

Of course.

Professor Jin is not so stupid.

After the accident,

his home will certainly be searched.

He is not going to hide something there.

So, could his pigeons have another place to live?

Professor Jin is a master of pigeon taming.

His pigeons fly along a fixed route
every morning and evening.

What do you think this has to do with Dan?

The word Dan should refer to the place

where the pigeons fly around at sunrise.

The place to fly around?

Mr. Ling.

Shuan.

Mr. Ling, what are you looking at?

Any clues?

How can a person catch up with a pigeon?

That's not right.

Japan has effectively completed

a highly developed industrialized civilization that
[Trace the Origin of China's History]

having moved away from a monoculture of farming.
[Sina-Japanese Culture Exchange Course]

This is advanced for the whole Asia.

Japan established the concept of

Greater East Asia Coprosperity Sphere.

I have been faithful to this plan,

and taking the responsibility of advancing it.

I hope through my efforts and those of the scholars...

Haitang.

Why are you here?

I came with classmates.

...to help China and all of Asia

survive the backwardness and desolation

brought about by agrarian culture.

He's been talking through his hat since the beginning.

Right?

When it comes to the ancient history
of Chinese civilization,

the Chinese believe in the Yellow Emperor,

the Yan Emperor,
[Okayama Shinichi, Japanese scholar and sinologist]

Yao, Shun and Yu,
[Member of Maochuan Secret Service]

the Xia dynasty, the Shang dynasty and the Zhou dynasty.

But in fact, Yu the Great...

Great Yu Who Controlled the Waters

first appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

But the Classic of Mountains and Seas

is completely absurd legend.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas

is not entirely fictional.

For example,

the Wind in Four Orientations oracle bone

corresponds to that in the Book of Documents: Canon of Yao.

This proves that

at least part of the Classic of Mountains and Seas
is true.

Not only is the history of the Xia and Shang
dynasties false,

but even half of the history of

the Zhou dynasty is also false.

Nonsense!

The excavation of oracle bone inscriptions

is sufficient evidence that the Shang dynasty was real.

What a load of crap!

You can't even count the time of the reign of the kings.

The so-called history of the Shang dynasty

is nothing more than a mess.

The Chinese,

not only do they not know who their ancestors were,

there is no China after Yashan.

Mr. Ling.

Mr. Jin, Jin Zhilie, once gave me the oracle bone
for safekeeping.

I still hope that we can study it together.

You said Professor Jin gave oracle bone inscriptions
of Wuding to you for safekeeping?

Is it possible?

Yes.

Mr. Jin once told me that

various parties have been prying at it for a long time.

Therefore, I've been entrusted with the safekeeping.

As an opportunity for cooperation

in building cultural co-prosperity in Asia.

He knows that only by relying on Japan's strength,

we can trace the beginning of Chinese history

and inherit the Chinese cultural lineage.

Mr. Ling.

The world knows you are an expert in oracle bones.

Your book, The Early Oracle Bone Classic,

has long been known to the world.

Mr. Okayama.

I have heard some of your arguments since just now.

Frankly, most of it is nonsense.

Please tell me

what Chinese history

needs the help of the Japanese to determine?

Why does Chinese culture need the help of

the Japanese to promote?

Less than 10 meters from the door,

you can see Dongpo pork

stewing on the pot of an ordinary house.

The rice dumplings we eat on the Dragon Boat Festival

is to pay homage to the sage Qu Yuan.

Even the couplets on the front door

are originated from the classics and history.

Yes, there are so many countries in this world.

As a neighboring country of our country,

Japan is considered as a friend.

The rise of Japan was a catalyst for

the reform movement in our country.

And in the old days, when the war started in Europe,

Japan also had a request for our country.

So it complemented each other.

Our people are most concerned with right and wrong,

righteousness and courtesy.

You just disrespected the Chinese people
and Chinese history.

Mr. Okayama,

I think you need to apologize.

Yes.

You need to apologize.

Yes, an apology is necessary!

An apology is in order.

Apologize!

Apologize?

Why should I apologize?

Yes.

It's true that Japan has admired Chinese civilization.

But that's long past.

After the Meiji Restoration,

Japan has abandoned China and embraced the West.

Nowadays, it has been the representative of

advanced Asian civilization.

We have left China behind long ago.

We are the ones who are protecting the relics
you can't keep.

The culture you can't pass on is the one
we are carrying forward.

Mr. Okayama, listen to me.

In 1899,

Mr. Wang Yirong, a priest of the Imperial College,

discovered the oracle bone inscriptions.

In 1928,

in Xiaotun, Anyang, Henan Province, China,

a large number of

turtle nails and animal bones with inscriptions
have been unearthed.

This gives those who study history a great deal to go on.

We can compare the underground artifacts with

the canonical texts left by our ancestors,

to prove the history of Shang and Zhou dynasties.

I am a professor

in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature
at Fuhua University.

I was commissioned by Fuhua University

to write the Study on the Shang Dynasty Calendar

to prove the existence of the Shang Dynasty's calendar.

Now, there is no proof of

when the history of our country began.

I will write this book

to prove it to you and to the world of historiography.

Mr. Ling,

it seems that Mr. Jin does not trust you.

He knows that you are writing the book,

why did he give oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding

to me, a foreigner, not to you?

I don't know whether you're telling the truth.

Words are but wind, seeing is believing.

But I know there are many people

with ulterior motives in your country.

By means of low prices,

secret scientific expeditions, and even robbery,

more than a thousand pieces of turtle nails

were taken from our country.

Are these the ways of custody you've mentioned?

Please answer.

Mr. Okayama,

can you answer Mr. Ling's question in detail?

Ladies and gentlemen.

I have the extremely valuable engraved turtle nail,

oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding,

which was excavated seven years ago.

I have a picture of

the real oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

Look closely.

How does this prove?

It is said that when this artifact was first unearthed,

it was filmed by Japanese journalists

in an unconventional way.

Is it true that the artifact you mentioned

was handed over to you by a Chinese scholar?

Is it now in China or in Japan?

Can you show it?

Yes, show it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I hereby solemnly promise that

within a month,

I'll present the oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

Uncle Ling,

does he really have it?

I don't believe it.

Mr. Okayama.

Show the real thing within a month?

You haven't seen the real thing so far, have you?

As far as I know,

the photo we're showing

is the one that was processed and enlarged

from what our agents photographed

when they secretly infiltrated into Henan.

Are you sure you can present the real thing
in one month?

Originally there was no clue of

oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

But today I've caught the big fish.

As the Chinese saying goes,
[Juichi Ando, Chief of the Peiping Provost Guard]

by a lucky chance you may find the lost thing
without even looking for it.

Wu Lingyue must know something about it.

Mr. Ando, you only need to assist me

by sending someone to keep an eye on him.

Okayama Shinichi,

he is a scholar.

Why did he make such a point?

I guess he didn't have good intentions.

Mr. Ling, Miss Meng.

Shuan.

Where are you going?

Go home.

Going home?

Come on, let me give you a lift.

No, thank you.

We...

Mr. Ling, come and sit here.

Come on!

You don't need to walk home.

Thank you, Shuan.

Miss Meng, come and sit here.

Thank you, Shuan.

You're welcome.

Hold on to your hat.

Be careful, uncle.

Go easy here, Shuan.

Okay.

How could it be in the hands of the Japanese?

A man as strict as Uncle Jin

should not give things to others.

Definitely not in the hands of the Japanese.

That makes no sense.

If he has it,

he should have presented the real thing,

but he only had a photo.

Uncle Ling,

is the oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding,

the Japanese said just now,

the same as what the villager mentioned in Anyang?

You're a little girl,

you don't need to care about these things.

Don't ever mention it again.

Mr. Ling,

there's something I've been wanting to ask you.

Shuan, go ahead.

My wife is about to give birth.

We'd like you to think of a name for our kid.

Great, it's a happy occasion.

A good thing, isn't it?

Your last name is Wu.

This is the first child in your family, right?

Yeah.

Then I need to be careful.

I need more time to think about it.

Sure.

It's a bit blurry.

I'll think of something else.

What the hell is this?

You will think of something else.

As if you have much knowledge.

X-ray diffraction.

The idea is fine, but it can't end there.

Haven't you ever thought about

adjusting the intensity of the peak of the shot?

That's right.

I should have asked you

to borrow the physics lab at Fuhua first.

Idiot.

This is at best a half-baked product.

As for your pilot recruitment notice...

Okay, I'll post it on the campus for you.

But you owe me a finished product.

Yes,

I will definitely make it up to you later.

Bye bye, Uncle Ling.

Miss Meng.

Zhang Qi.

I'd like to have a word with you.

Okay.

I came to see Mr. Zeng.

What a coincidence to meet you again.

Well.

Your handkerchief.

You don't have to give it back to me.

Tomorrow Fuxing will be back to the warehouse.

I'm going back to Hangzhou.

But I'll be back soon.

There are two addresses here.

One is for Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport,

and the other is for Peiping Nanyuan Airport.

Come and see me if you need help.

Okay.

And this.

Why are you filming me secretly?

You don't like it?

If you don't like it, I'll put it on 019
as a navigation tower.

No, no way.

I want to use it as a navigation tower.

No.

Whatever.

But what is the 019 navigation tower?

Well.

The pilots will put the photo of whom they fa...

filming accidentally on the plane

as a navigation tower.

The person in the photo

will see the plane flying in the sky by looking up.

The person in the plane

will find his way home by looking at the photo.

Do you put all the photos taken by accident
on the plane?

Will there be a lot of them?

I have accidentally taken only one photo until now.

I don't think there should be any more in the future.

I want to make a bet with you.

As long as you look up in the sky,

you will think of me.

See you in Hangzhou.

See you in Hangzhou.

Tower.

024 everything is well.

Ready to go.

024 024

The command is cancelled.

What's going on?

The departure procedure is not complete,

you can't leave Qinghe Airport.

I did the departure procedure myself,

how could it be incomplete?

The Aviation Commission revoked the procedure

and stopped the departure.

Deputy Director Lu, do you know what happened?

Fuxing had a serious oil leak accident on test flight,

which almost killed the pilots.

023 had the oil leak accident.

024 everything is well.

This is also the request of the Aviation Commission,

who considered domestic aircraft

don't meet the flight standards.

Deputy Director Lu, Peiping is in a tight spot,

can Fuxing be processed into warehouse

as soon as possible?

You think so highly of the Fuxing.

Are you trying not to hurt the feelings
of President Zhang who donated the planes?

His feelings?

To stop the departure of Fuxing,

trying not to hurt whose feelings?

It's all for the safety of our country,

so why the tit-for-tat?

Well,

I'll send a mechanic to check it out.

It takes only a few days.

After making sure it's okay,

you can fly back to Hangzhou.

How do you like that?

By the way,

Zeng Nianqiao has passed the check

and will return to the team today.

Congratulations.

Go over there and and get registered.
[Registration of National Revolutionary Army]

What's your name?
[The 29th Military Academy Corps]

Mazi.

Mazi, good.

How old are you?

I'm sixteen.

Okay, go over there.

Everyone, move forward.

Li Erwa, how old are you?

[Weapon Assignment]

Hello, I'm new here.

The chief told me to come and get my weapon.

This one?

They said that there might be guns tomorrow.

Each person gets one hundred bullets,

and four hand grenades.

Really?

There will be shooting training, right?

Count the numbers, land mines.

There will be ten more boxes after a while.

They are land mines!

Everything is here.

Good.

These will be used tomorrow afternoon.

I'll tell you what to do.

Great.

What is this?

My grandma tied it to me before I left home
to keep me safe.

I got into the eleventh class of

Jianqiao Central Aviation School.

What did you say?

You...

get into...

get into...

I... I know.

Am I too strict with you?

How about this?

I won't stop you.

You can do whatever you want.

I won't stop you, just go ahead.

I joined the air force.

I'm going to the Nanyuan Airport now.

It's all because of Zhang Qi,

and Zeng Nianqiao.

They don't care about their lives,

and now you are in.

If you join the land force and get hurt,

at least you won't die easily.

Air force?

You might fall to pieces!

So what?

You will say yes if I join the land force?

No way!

Poshan,

you don't like me

so you don't want to study physics with me.

But you need to learn something.

To learn Chinese Language and Literature.

Learn history from Mr. Ling.

It'll be great if you become a writer in the future.

Stop!

I'm telling you,

you're the first grandson of the Zeng family.

We all count on you!

How come you, me, and my elder brother

are the only three left

in a family of dozens of people?

You hated my mother

and you never returned home so you survived.

Nonsense!

I must go into the air force.

I must take revenge for my families' death.

How dare you!

I...

I've never hit you ever since we came to the capital.

Today,

I must teach you a lesson.

Want to be a soldier!

Do you still want to be a soldier?

Do you want to be a soldier?

Do you?

You were the one

who posted the Jianqiao recruitment notice

to the school for Instructor Zhang.

How come you don't like it when I join the air force?

You are my son!

What about other people's sons?

Someone else's son should be carrying a gun

to protect your son, right?

If everyone thinks this way,

sooner or later this country will collapse.

I forbid you to be a soldier!

You are not allowed to be a soldier!

My mom...

my grandma...

and my grandpa were killed by the Japanese

on 18th September, 1931.

You just shed a few tears after hearing it.

What about me?

I crawled out of the dead.

My mom was buried by me with my own hands.

Nianqiao and me,

it took us two months to walk to Peiping.

When I close my eyes,

I can still see the earth of the Northeast China

and my mom's face.

You gave me life and raised me for five and a half years.

I won't forget it.

I usually treat you with disrespect.

Today I confess my fault.

I know you want to treat me well.

But what I seek is never a moment of peace.

I want to go back to the Northeast.

I want to go back to see my mom and grandparents.

I dream every night,

Selfheal and Common Peony flowers on the hills.

In a few days,

it would be my mom's 42nd birthday.

She won't like it if her son is a coward.

Just let me go.

Even if I die,

I will never complain about you.

I've never kowtowed to you before.

I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to do it.

So I'll do it today.

The sound of gunfire overnight at Lugouqiao
on 7th July, 1937,

started the all-national resistance war.

From then on,

from the Songhua River, to the Great Wall,

from the central plains to the Pearl River,

all compatriots fight in the national tragedy.

The unprecedentedly

great war of national liberation began.

Dad,

it went all night.

Yes.

There were gun sounds all night in the south.

Mom,

why are you hanging the quilt on the window?

This is for our security and peace.

The quilt can keep us from random shots.

Can it really work?

Yes, you don't understand.

The elderly said that

during the war of 1900，

Siege of the International Legations,

the quilts were hanged up on every window in the city.

What are you doing here? Go inside.

It's getting late.

Where does Haichen go?

Why doesn't he come home?

What is he doing?

Why does he go to the military training

when there are gun sounds everywhere.

He won't go to the south of the city, right?

Dad.

Mom.

Haichen told me that

he was going to join the 29th Military Academy Corps.

What?

Join the army?

Why did he join the army at this moment?

All right.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

Well...

You follow me.

Go and get your younger brother back for me.

Go!

Secretary General Meng!

Secretary General Meng!

Something happened to the school!

Principal Zhou asked me to pick you up

and hurry back to the school for an emergency meeting

to discuss the school's move to the south.

What...

What about your brother?

Look.

Haitang,

go and get your brother back.

Wu,

I'll find my own way to school.

Today, you will go with Haitang.

She's going to get her brother back.

The silly boy wants to join the army

when there are gun sounds everywhere.

Do me a favor.

Please.

Don't worry.

Let's go, Haitang.

Thank you, and take care!

Take care!

What should we do, dear?

Put it on.

Sir!

The Nanyuan defenders suffered a Japanese pincer attack

to the southeast of their flank.

Minister.

On the night of the 27th,

Japanese troops captured the Tuanhe Palace,

surrounded the 29th Army's Nanyuan Barracks.

Our squadron,

except for the newly received Fuxing 023

which was unable to take off,

031 is with four fifty-three kilogram shells.

024 is in good condition

and does not carry ammunition.

We are requesting 024

to participate in reconnaissance,

031 to support the land force.

Minister, we request to join the war!

Sir!

Minister,

the Japanese bomber fleet shows up,

and may join the war.

Zhang Qi, do not meet the battle head-on.

If you disobey the order, you will be shot on the spot.

Minister, I...

Execute the command.

So...

this Fuxing plane, parked at Nanyuan.

If you can't fly it back, blow it up.

We can't leave it to the enemy.

What's going on?

Leave everything behind and run away?

The transporter arrives at five o'clock.

The flight takes off at 5:30.

The new flying cadets are on standby.

Haichen?

Listen up, everyone.

The 29th Army,

by 1 a.m. tomorrow...

Meng Haichen!

all evacuate from Peiping,

leaving not a single soldier behind.

If you are willing to go,

leave immediately,

and follow the 29th Army to Baoding.

If not,

take the fees and get dismissed now.

Haichen!

Do you want to live?

Get up and go if you want!

Haichen?

Ask one by one!

Haichen!

Hello?

Where is the 29th Military Academy Corps stationed?

Academy Corps? They should still be in Nanyuan.

Nanyuan?

[Nanyuan Barrack]

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm looking for the captain of Hanguang squadron,

Zhang Qi.

Captain Zhang?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Okay.

Miss Meng.

Zhang Qi.

Why are you here?

Zhang Qi,

can you help me find my brother?

Haichen?

Yes.

What happened to him?

He must have gone to the 29th Military Academy Corps

since he couldn't get into Jianqiao.

I've heard it's right here.

Can you help me find him?

What should I do?

He is not even eighteen years old.

I'm going to find him.

Meng Haitang!

Up ahead is the battlefield.

The real battlefield.

Fifty minutes before the takeoff.

Here you go.

Where are you going?

If I don't come back,

make sure 2214 to take off on time,

and perform bombing range missions.

Please, Ding.

Escort her and evacuate with the transport plane.

Captain, be safe!

Haichen?

Meng Haichen?

Meng Haichen!

Why don't they come back?

Twenty minutes to go.

Okay, I got it.

Ding.

Miss Meng.

We have to leave at 5:30.

Thirty minutes later,

the Japanese would bomb Nanyuan Airport.

[Nanyuan Military Airport]
[Sanhe Town]

You're hurt, don't move.

I'll take you to your sister.

Stop!

There are minefields!

We buried the mines the other day.

I recognize it.

Haichen, move over there.

Share the weight to the other side.
