Twin Sisters

A village in the 13th year
of the Republic of China

Mama, Tao has come back.

Da Bao, Da Bao.

I'm in luck.

How?

Went to the ocean.

No armed guards were there
to stop us from fishing.

Look at how much I caught!

How much do you want for it?

Mama, we've got a lot of fish!

When you leave for Yangchuan,
you never want to come back.

Everyday, you go there to sell.

Where's the thing I asked you to get?

Oops.

Great memory.

Look.

Give it to me.

Give me. Give me.

Give me. Give me.

I'm beat. I need to rest.

You have to tell me

how you've acquired the taste
for these sour things.

I'll tell you. Don't shout.

I'm having a baby.

You're having a baby?

I'll tell Father.

My good mother-in-law. You are about to
embrace a little grandson.

Father, Father. There's
a darling child in your Da Bao belly.

You're about to have a grandchild.

You're children who want children.
You have no idea.

My good father, I will be a father too.

Father, are you feeling okay?

Did you upset him?

Do you know how hard
your mother-in-law worked?

How she provided for her daughter?

You can't know what I went through.

All that hard work wasted.

Humiliated by the bosses
just to keep you fed.

In fact, most villagers can't afford
to go to school this year

unless you come from a rich family.

So you're popping one out.

Do you know what you're in for?

Father, that's not important.

Look, I'm healthy.

I know it's hard
to support a family on words,

I can still fish.

How is it that you're out?

You got arrested for trafficking guns.

Your body's diseased
from staying in Jail.

Serves you right.

Now you're out to do it all again.

I really would like to return home.

But I need to flee to Shanghai,

where the foreign office can
protect me.

I won't get arrested.
Eh, maybe I'll get rich.

Why don't you take Da Bao and Er Bao?

They'll both starve to death
living in the country.

If I could spare them the hardship,
I would.

Okay, I'll take Er Bao.

But Da Bao also needs to go.

Er Bao is very pretty.

Da Bao's face is pockmarked.

Not much of a future for her.

Mama, why haven't you gone to bed?

You miss Father again, huh?

For thirteen years, he has not written.
Nor has he visited.

I try not to remember him.

I don't even know where your sister
Er Bao is.

Mama, I'm sure if my sister
were aware of you,

She would write you a letter.

She probably doesn't remember you.

You should not miss her.

It's late.
You should get to bed early.

Leave some light on.

Your grandfather is still awake.

Father?

Father's been shot?

What's the matter with Father?

My father,
Where did that gun come from?

While the boats were unloading,

I saw your father
reporting to the officer on board.

He sold the gun to that crook.
It's all his fault.

Father!

Tao. Tao.

You haven't slept for two nights.

For a sound body, you have to sleep.

Go to sleep.

What's that?

Brother Tao!

Lee, what's going on?

Government troops are at war
with bandits.

War?

We have to get out of here.

Run for your life.

Mama's still asleep.

Wake her up!

Let's go. Quickly!

Go find your Uncle in Shangdong.

The general has returned.

Mistress Ying.

What's the matter?

Are you upset?

Want to find out?

You were about to make a transaction.

A big general, fighting for your country.
Day and night.

Little runt.

You've attended so many operas,

you're stabbing me with your own drama.

Oh, I wouldn't dare.

This young girl would dare
in front of the general.

That's for your transaction. I'm exhausted.

I saw you going into that brothel.

Spying again.

Okay, you win.

Okay. We will negotiate for peace.

I looked everywhere for the right style.

You act like you're ashamed of me.

Not every woman will take
a lifetime of abuse from you.

You hit. You hit.

You hit and I hit back.

You hit me.

I won't hit.

You don't hit. I'll hit myself.

I'll hit myself.

Women, nothing but senseless fighting.

Ying, I'm only playing around.

Okay, okay. Don't cry, Ying.

I would kill for you.

I forbid it.

My darling, you are my life.

Little sister.

Mistress, since I've been living here
the past few days,

He will need a wet nurse with clean milk.

Doesn't sound promising.

We'll need to screen
another ten applicants.

Call Dr. Lu and tell him to come
right away.

My son, my sweetheart. Just eight more
days until the Moon Festival.

Let mother take care of you, you noisy
noisy babe.

Mama, do you want some tea?

Don't cry, darling, don't cry.
Mama's here.

Da Bao. Don't hesitate to
breastfeed him.

I'm sick again. Can't get out of bed.

It's okay, Mama. Go back to sleep.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Don't cry. Don't cry. Papa's here.

Don't cry, darling. Good little boy.
Good, good.

Hug for Papa.

Eat some candy. Eat some candy.

What? You got hurt again.

Occupational hazard. It's nothing.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Moon festival today for baby.

Your Papa will buy you a new hat.

Da Bao.

Has Tao returned. You should start
cooking.

Sure. I'll start.

Da Bao. Da Bao.

Hurry. Here's some rice.

Mama, see this hat. You like it?

Little girl, little girl.

See. Your father got you a new hat.

I noticed it was starting to rain.
I hurried home.

Lie down and rest.

Did you cough up blood?

Your health is too important.
Don't go to work tonight.

We can't let Mama go hungry with the
child.

Da Bao. Tao is not in the best of health.

You need your sleep.
Save your energy for tomorrow.

Oh, Mama. We're sleeping now.

Mrs. Lee, I'm giving you some rice

in return for the rice you gave me
last time.

Thank you.

Haven't you told her how you worked
as a wet nurse?

Tell her, and she won't have to
worry again.

Mrs. Lee, what is he talking about?

Da Bao, why so quiet?

What are you thinking about?

I think Mrs. Lee is working
as a wet nurse in private homes.

A lot of people do it.

There's not always an easy way.

If you fell sick,
shouldn't God hear you?

I was thinking maybe tomorrow,

I'll look for the same kind of work.

To let a stranger's baby girl
suck at your breast?

I can pay Mrs. Lee back for the rent.

Even if you were willing,
your mother wouldn't approve.

Da Bao, you try and see.

You don't have to lie to me.
We have no rice today.

Tao is also upset.

Da Bao. Your mother is reasonable.
You go.

Mama.

Sister-in-law, which do you like better?

This one is good.
Many of these carriages are beautiful.

Madam, Madam.

Dr. Lu.

I found a wet nurse. Her blood type is
similar to Madam's.

This applicant should do Just fine.

Which one?

Number 32.

Xiang, bring number 32 in.
Let me take a look.

I'll tell the general.

Who is number 32?

Who is number 32?

It's me.

Good. Come upstairs with me.

Madam, Number 32 is here.

Greet the Madam.

Madam.

Call her Miss.

Miss.

What's your name?

My surname is Lin.

How many days since giving birth?

More than a month.

Good. Stay and try it out for a while.

This is Xiang, who introduced you.

Teach her to speak properly.

And give her a bath.

Order some clean clothes.

And tell her the rules.

Madam, this wet nurse looks Just like you.

If you were to give her your clothes,
you'd look exactly alike.

Sister, hold your tongue.

Don't even Joke about that.

Where's Mrs. Lee?

She left with a bunch of other people.

Madam says for me to work here
for a week.

Da Bao, let's go home.

What?

I'm dead tired. Exhausted.

If you're really dead tired,
our son is finished.

You can still go home. Go home.

Come back in a week.

Quickly. Go.

Right. You go home and come back in a
week.

Go home. Go home.

Go tell Mama. Otherwise, she'll forget.

We have a child to tend to.

Be careful. You're a little like your son.

Most importantly.

Keep a happy, healthy home.

To be a wet nurse is to be pulled
from your roots.

Come.

Mama.

Mama, how did you get here?

The front door didn't make it any easier.

How did I know how to get here?

How many good words I put in for you,
to send for you?

Mama, Tao can't visit.

Is he feeling any better?

Tao.

What is it?

He's been hurt.

Ma. Ma, please don't lie to me.

How is Tao?

How is he?

Is Miss Lee home?

Doesn't she want to play cards?

Good good.

I'll be right over. My treat.

Are you pulling my leg?

Yes, I'll be right there.

See you soon.

Miss, the car is ready.

Madam, my husband has been in an
accident.

He was already sick to begin with.

I'm asking for a month's wages in
advance.

My mother's waiting outside.
I'd like to pay for a doctor on her return.

What? You think you can Just work for
three days and borrow money?

Get out of here.

Da Bao, Da Bao.

What's the matter?

She doesn't care who lives or dies.

All she cares about is playing cards.

I begged her, and she spat in my face.

Look at her. This kind of wife
with no heart.

Mama, I tell you this.

I don't ever want to see her again.

Da Bao. You have to know. The poor stay
poor.

You have to endure patiently.

It's not all that bad.
Tao is still alive.

She's not willing to lend me the money
to save Tao's life.

Let me go back home. You ask her again.

My child, you have to hear my words.

Ma, I'll go back home to you and Tao.

Da Bao, hear the words of your mother.

If you come back home,
we'll have no money for a doctor.

And we still can't save his life.

Wet nurse, tend to the young master,
quickly.

Let your mother go home.

Like Madam told you to.

I'm going now, but I'll be back.

Endure patiently. I go now.

You're mama is so heartless,
I fear for your future.

Da Bao, Da Bao.

Help me. Help me.

Save me.

Tao...

Da Bao, what are you hiding?

Are you a thief?

Where's the baby's golden locket?

Xiang, call the Police! Xiang!

Miss, Miss.

Miss.

What? The wet nurse killed the madam?

The detective from the Nationalist party is
on this case?

Let me do the interrogation, all right?

Chief, this is Lin Zhao Zhi.

She's accused of killing the young woman.

How did you do it?

Your honor,

My wealthy mistress won't lend money to
the less fortunate.

I'm trying to save four lives.

So I was forced to steal a golden locket.

She caught me. I pushed her away and
fled for my life.

I didn't mean to push her so hard.

A porcelain bottle fell on her head.

I had no intention of killing her.

I Just want to go home.

Hmmph. You killed the woman.
Don't even think of going home.

Take her away.

Wait. Let the Warlord interrogate
her properly.

Your honor. This rich person was
unwilling

to lend money to save four lives.

I am not guilty.

If my son dies, would she want to serve
time in Jail?

Your honor, my husband is ill.

Your honor, my old mother is
living with me.

There are two children in my house.

I have two children.

I want to see my daughter.

I'm begging you. Let me see her Just once.

Doesn't wash with me.
Who raised her to be a murderer?

Stay put.

Please let me in.

Stop her.

Leave here now.

Go away.

Your honor, please.

Who is this? Why is she not gone?

She's been creating quite a disturbance.

She wants to see her daughter, Lin.

You are Da Bao's... .

Da Bao?

No, the law is the law.

Your honor. I am Da Bao's mother.

The world comes round.

Da Bao's father is my husband.

Your honor...

This crazy old woman has a lot to say.

Follow me in. But don't spew more of that
rubbish.

She's with me.

I knew.

You let me save you Er Bao right away.

She is your daughter too.

You want that I save your eldest daughter

at the expense of my reputation.

If you carry on like this,
everyone will know my secret.

My position cannot guarantee

what will become of two daughters.

I'll give you some money.

Have your son-in-law take your child
into the country.

Da Bao will be taken care of.

You heartless thing.

Never mind the lives of the poor.

Is your position so important?

If you cannot save Da Bao,

Don't let two daughters be with me.

I remember my old life.
I'll tell the world!

No, don't. Don't. Be discreet.

I'll let you take her out for a meal.

Let your two ladies spend time together.

Madam has arrived.

Father.

So what have I done to deserve
to lunch with you.

Sit down, we'll talk.

What business?

Officer, bring me the prisoners.

Father, what's happening?

People are saying you are sympathizing
with this murderer.

You come here.

Call her mother in here.

Da Bao, Da Bao.

Da Bao, Da Bao.

Mama.

Come. Bring in the dishes and some wine.

This room needs no servers.

Close all the doors and tell everyone
not to approach.

You also go away.

Father, what exactly is going on?

You called me to meet with this prisoner
and her mother?

My darling, this is an unusual affair.

That poor old woman is your birth mother.

That prisoner is your elder sister.

What? Father, are you drunk?

How can you say all of a sudden
I have a mother and a sister?

Er Bao.

Now you're the wife of a rich warlord.

Only one father and no mother.

I think you'll recall the scar
on your shoulder.

One day, your father was roasting a

pig on one side of the stove
with some wine.

You were still very young.

And you weren't careful.

Caused your father to spill some wine
and it spread the fire.

He beat you with a hot branding iron.

I tried to stop him, got in his way.

But Father was drunk
and beat you anyway.

I used to confuse the two of you.

But your branded shoulder
would set you apart.

Now you are the warlord's wife.

Don't even recognize your own mother.

Mama.

Mama. Have mercy on me.

Er Bao.

Your elder sister needs you. Help her.

Sister, sister.

Da Bao, what's wrong?

Da Bao, what is it?

Somehow, I hold an official post.

As the chief's eldest daughter,

I have a father who is a magistrate.

Da Bao, your mother would like

to Join your father for food and wine.

Please, your younger sister is eager
to meet you.

Your sister recognized us.

She recognized us.

I can ask her to pardon you.

Talk to her.

Madam, I can let your sister see you.

But I didn't promise to set you free.

She committed a crime. I have no choice.

The general will certainly not let her go.

Er Bao, it's like this.

I gave your mother some money
to have a good life.

Now we invite two sisters
to have some wine.

Everyone, come around.

Drink a few cups.

Mama, Sister, certainly there's
nothing to eat in prison.

She must be hungry.

Get her to eat something.

We are ready to dine.

Da Bao, your sister is inviting you to eat.

You ate a while ago.

Come, come.

Sit down.

Sister, let's drink some wine.

Da Bao, your sister is offering you wine.

Come over.

Sister.

I'm coming.

Da Bao, drink one cup.

For the sake of the prisoner.

Pull yourself together for family's sake.

What for, exactly?

Your father sold a gun to someone.

And someone was killed.

One has to live a good life.

So we lived on the farm.

Your father said if he took you,
he'll be unlucky.

So he sold the guns to get rich.

They sold guns to the soldiers.

For the war effort. For us!

I figured this all out.

The debt of abandoning
mother and child.

Enough!

So I broke the law. You broke the law.

I did it to live.

So if you grow up pretty,
you become a concubine.

Miss, you should thank your father.

If I were prettier than you,
how would I have lived?

Perhaps I could have been someone's
concubine by now.

Instead of wet nursing someone's son.

If I wore a tunic,
perhaps I could be a madam.

Go borrow some money for a tunic.

But I don't need one. I'm not on a
high horse like you! Get off it!

Who are you to scold a VIP
in her own home?

I should have you executed.

You want to take her away.

I'll make a scene.

I'll tell everyone.

Da Bao, if he arrests you,

I will fight him for the rest of my life.

Don't feel bad.

Ma, I feel for my son
and I feel for my younger sister.

Take the pretty daughter out.

Dress up the pretty daughter.

Sell her for the rich.

Sister, your future is set.

I'm sure the general had many women.

He mistreated you.

And you no doubt bore that pain.

The father who relies on his daughter
to make him rich

will not care for those beneath him.

Unlucky is our lot.

Unlucky are we women.

Sister, I understand.

Father forced me to get married.

It was for his own sake, not mine.

I must save you.

No, that won't do.

The general will not side with me.

And my connection to this woman
is scandalous.

What? Is your position so important

that everyone else, the poor,
are so insignificant?

Are you so heartless,
you'll let her die?

So heartless to let her husband
die of illness?

So heartless to allow her two children
to starve?

How cruel your heart is!

I can't consider the masses.

I'm seeing the general.

My car waits outside.

Mama, sister, come with me.

Let's go.

Don't.

I forbid them to go with you.

What? Who is your superior officer?

I'm the wife of the general.

Let's go.

Da Bao, we'll go at once.

Father, please forgive me.

End.
