[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 06]

Deputy Director Lu asked you to send it to Tongmao Antique Shop.

There will be goods the day after tomorrow morning at Zhengyangmen.

Go.

Okay.

[Military 4919]

Everyone,

I'll say it straightforwardly.

After today's meeting,

we'll step up the process of moving the school to the south.

We'll move to Changsha.

We'll evacuate in three groups.

The first group will leave tomorrow.

The third group will leave at least two weeks later.

As for when we'll begin to have class,

we'll discuss later.

Wuran.

Is there anything you want to add?

In The Book of History, Pan Geng,

it mentioned there was a huge calamity,

the former Emperor didn't stay in the capital,

he chose to move capital for people's interest instead.

There are thirteen migration of capital in Shang Dynasty.

Until King Pan Geng moved capital to Anyang,

did he make a dying Shang Dynasty

become prosperous when King Wu Ding was in charge.

Everyone,

three thousand years ago, our ancestors could do so.

If we can't,

or,

we don't have the courage to do that,

we would be ashamed to face our ancestors.

I'll tell you our route to the south now.

Universities were occupied by invaders.

Self-esteem was trampled by enemies.

At this crucial moment,

there was an indelible shame in Meng Wuran's mind.

The backbone of scholars.

The responsibility of soldiers.

Without the soul of a nation,

everything will vanish.

Riksha.

Sir.

Take me to Yunju.

What did you say?

Sir.

Haitang, Haitang...

Meng Haitang...

Miss Meng?

Sir, sir.

You can't stay here.

This place is dangerous. Sir.

Just go!

This place is dangerous.

Dad?

What happened to him?

Do you know him, Miss Meng?

He called your name before he fell into a faint.

Yes.

He was fine yesterday.

Why is he injured today?

I don't know.

Luckily, he met me.

I can't throw him in the street.

They will shoot him if they catch him.

Okay, enough.

Help me get him inside.

Okay.

Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi.

Are you okay?

Hai...

Miss Meng.

Are you feeling better now?

Where am I?

This is my room.

I'll leave now.

You're injured.

Have some rest.

I can't stay on your bed.

Just lie down first.

Don't worry.

Shuan helped me get you inside.

You're covered in black oil and so heavy.

You think I want you to stay here?

After my dad comes back,

we'll send you to the hospital.

Well,

I remember you said you would go to Hangzhou.

Why did you get injured in the street?

I should have gone back to report on the completion of a task on Fuxing.

But when I just arrived at Qinghe Airport,

I saw 024 explode in front of me.

No.

I still have a mission to do.

Just lie down first.

Wait here.

Even if you want to leave,

you should change your clothes first.

These are Haichen's clothes.

Now the Japanese are catching soldiers everywhere.

Uncle Ling was caught yesterday.

My dad is thinking of a solution.

If so,

I should leave early,

or I would bring you troubles.

Change your clothes...

Haitang, are you in room?

It's my mom.

Wait a second.

What's wrong, mom?

Your dad went to Uncle Ling's home to think of a solution to save him.

He may be back late today.

Go to pack the things with me.

Okay.

We may leave at any moment.

Don't just stand here.

Let me check inside.

Mom, mom.

Well,

did you pack Haichen's clothes?

Otherwise he would have no clothes to wear in Hangzhou.

You're right.

I also need to pack Haichen's clothes.

You're right.

What's that sound?

It's the cat.

I just hugged it inside and wanted to say goodbye to it.

It must be running around.

A cat can make such a huge noise?

You're right.

Those cats, flowers, fishes and grass,

they must be suffering a lot.

You're right.

I will also miss that cat.

Let me go inside and see it.

Don't bother, it will be late.

You haven't packed Haichen's clothes yet. Let's go.

I'll help you with it.

Zhang Qi, my dad...

Where is he?

Useless! I'm too useless!

Professor Zeng.

You took action so quickly.

Going to Changsha?

Of course not.

I'll go to Hangzhou during my vacation.

Hangzhou?

Haichen is in Hangzhou.

I wonder if he is recovered now.

He is young. He will be fine.

Meng.

Meng.

The car that the school arranged to take your family

to the train station was smashed on the way.

The driver is also injured.

We can do nothing about it now.

What can we do now?

How could this society become like this?

Professor Zeng.

You're heading to Hangzhou, right?

What's wrong?

How will you go there?

I'll go to Tianjin first,

then I'll go to Hangzhou from Tianjin.

Here is the thing.

Professor Ling offended the Japanese,

and was caught with the accusation of fighting against the Japanese.

I'm afraid that the Japanese may hurt his family.

Professor Kang will go to Nanjing and have rubbings in Beiji Pavilion.

I'm here to beg you, Professor Zeng.

Please take Professor Kang and her daughter to go to the south with you.

You can separate when you arrive in Nanjing.

Let me tell you,

it's dangerous for two women like them to go there alone.

I'll be relieved if you can go with them.

Please, please, please.

No.

No.

No.

No, no, no!

Well, well,

a single man like me

takes a single lady and her daughter in the street.

What will people think of me?

- What are you talking about? - No, no!

I won't agree.

There will be a war, Mr. Zeng.

Why do you suddenly become so old-fashioned now?

We were classmates when we were studying abroad.

We are like brothers and sisters.

Besides,

you've taken many female classmates to the West Mountain back then.

Now we are at a crucial moment,

but you are worrying about these?

When we went to the West Mountain,

there were many female students.

It's different from traveling with a single woman.

How about this?

You can leave with a group of women.

Four women.

What about four women?

Four women?

Haitang and my wife will go to Hangzhou with you.

Is that okay?

Oh my god.

I won't enjoy the trip with so many women.

I have something important to do in Hangzhou.

Zeng Mu.

You want Professor Kang and her daughter,

be tortured by those Japanese like your family?

I...

What did you say?

Say that again!

It's urgent, don't care about such a little matter.

Zeng, sorry about that.

Professor Zeng.

I know you care about women and children a lot.

After tomorrow,

I don't know if Professor Ling and I can take care of these four women.

Well,

please take care of them.

Now you have a good attitude.

It's so annoying!

Thank you, thank you.

Four women!

Please wait here.

I'll inform them.

Thank you, thank you.

Wait for me.

Hurry up!

I'm Zhang Qi, call 01.

Your position.

Peiping, around Zhengyangmen.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,

someone will pick you outside Dongzhimen.

There is a lack of two people, we are waiting for you.

Copy that.

It's so troublesome.

Why did you take so many things with you?

It's so heavy.

What are these things?

Let me tell you, if you follow me,

you will suffer a lot on the way.

Wuran is crazy.

He urged us to leave.

We are not going to visit others.

Well,

we should take some money since we are leaving so suddenly.

Of course.

We've been living here for decades.

And now we are leaving.

If it's not because I'm worried about Haichen,

I won't leave here so easily.

Dad.

Let's go.

I can't go to Hangzhou.

- Why? - Because of oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

Haitang.

You don't need to care about these things.

You have to leave Peiping with your mom today.

Just go.

Dad.

You don't have the real oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

And you can't make a fake one in a short time, right?

Only your Uncle Jin and Uncle Ling have seen the real one.

So, I have my own way.

Dad.

Since they want that,

it means they've had research on it.

You can't cheat them.

Haitang, you've grown up.

Remember,

you're the eldest daughter in the family.

You should take care of mom and brother for me.

I'm here,

so everything will be solved.

Just go.

Why would you have this?

Last year,

when Uncle Ling took me to Anyang,

a local said,

he went to the vault with teachers of Fuhua University in 1929,

and discovered a special oracle bone.

He described its pattern.

I suddenly thought of Uncle Ling's oracle bone.

Uncle Ling.

What kind of rubbing is this?

There are so many complete characters on it.

It must be rare.

You don't need to know about this.

Just listen to me carefully.

We've learned about rubbing softly and wiping to rub, right?

Today I'll teach you a new way to rub, which is called cicada wing's rubbing.

Watch carefully.

You need to knock it evenly.

Don't be too hard.

Then this...

After that class, I begged Uncle Ling many times and finally he agreed.

Then he taught me to make this oracle bone according to that rubbing.

He wouldn't say much about it.

But after that seminar,

I guess that's the oracle bone of Wuding.

That's right.

This is the will of heaven.

Haitang.

You're a great help.

I'll keep it.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Dad, don't you think it's too fake?

I'll find someone skillful to make it look like an antique.

I know that.

Those experts will know it's fake according to its appearance now.

Just let me stay with you.

At least I can help you check his skill, right?

Haitang...

It's not just a business of your own.

If there is something wrong,

not only you,

Uncle Ling will suffer as well.

Dad.

I've grown up.

Let me help you, okay?

What did you say?

Haitang won't leave with us?

Here is the thing.

Before Haitang goes to the Normal College,

she still has some homework to do.

I want her to leave with the students and teachers of Fuhua University,

so that she can also complete her homework.

I'll stay here and take care of dad.

After you pick up Haichen,

let's meet in Changsha.

You're too slow.

Let's go, come on.

Okay, enough.

Professor Zeng is urging you to leave. Just go.

Take care of our daughter.

- We'll come back sooner or later. - Be careful.

Okay.

Be careful.

Professor Zeng, please...

I want to have a word with you.

Why do you have so much to say?

You helped me a lot,

I can't thank you enough.

Of course you can find a way to thank me.

I don't have enough instruments in my lab.

Allocate more funds to me when I'm back.

Okay.

I know why you stay here.

It's for Professor Ling, right?

Be quiet.

You're capable.

Make sure Professor Ling is safe and sound.

And you.

Be careful,

so that I can still have someone to quarrel with me.

Where is your stick?

It's broken.

Broken?

When you had that stick,

I felt worried.

Now it's broken,

I'm more worried.

Zeng.

Let's bid farewell to each other.

That's enough.

It's too troublesome, I'll leave now.

Okay, let's go.

Haitang, Haitang!

Zeng.

We shall leave now.

Please.

Okay, okay.

Qian Ying.

Remember,

No. 86 in Yunju Alley,

will always be our home.

One day,

we'll come home.

Hurry up.

Coming.

I inquire the road of a wayfarer,

and sulk at the dimness of the dawn.

Haitang,

someday the sun will rise.

[Auction and appraisal on antiques]

[Tongmao Antique Shop]

[Auction and appraisal]

[Tongmao Antique Shop]

The owner of this shop is a famous appraiser in Peiping.

He knows much about antiques.

In order to make money,

he smuggled many antiques.

Your Uncle Ling and I have bought many precious antiques from him for safekeeping.

At the same time,

he is good at counterfeiting antiques.

I didn't imagine I would beg him to counterfeit something for me one day.

This is his shop.

Let's see if he can recognize this counterfeit first.

Boss Yu.

It's been a long time.

Mr. Meng.

You honored me with your presence.

Please come in.

Please.

Mr. Meng.

Now everything is in chaos outside.

Only a refined scholar like you has the mood to visit my shop now.

Boss Yu.

I have something interesting here.

I wonder if you can appraise it.

Okay.

Just say what you want.

Mr. Meng.

Since the Japanese brought oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding out,

its price has been rising in the market.

There are rough counterfeits everywhere.

But,

to be honest,

yours is the most delicate counterfeit I've ever seen.

This is made of a fresh tortoise shell.

Although you made it look like an antique,

experts can recognize it immediately.

Mr. Meng, if you want to sell it at a high price,

you need to further operate on it.

I wonder when you start to be interested in counterfeits.

If you really want to make it an antique,

you should know the master of doing that, Lan Baoguang.

He is my senior apprentice.

No one can compare with him in this area in China.

But,

you need to pay him a lot.

How much?

At least this amount of money.

Thirty yuan?

Three thousand yuan.

Boss Yu.

To spend three thousand yuan making a counterfeit?

Are you kidding me?

Three thousand yuan is enough to buy a huge mansion like this.

Mr. Meng.

You're the Secretary General of Fuhua University.

You hate those people who make counterfeits.

Since you are here today,

I guess you've met some troubles.

If what I think is right,

you're doing so for Mr. Ling, right?

Boss Yu.

What do you mean?

Everyone knows it now.

Mr. Ling offended the Japanese and was caught.

Mr. Meng.

Is Mr. Ling's life worth three thousand yuan?

Boss Yu.

You thought too much.

I'm in a dangerous situation now.

I have no time for saving him.

I just want to make a counterfeit and sell it,

then we'll leave here.

Okay.

Just make it for me first.

We can discuss the price, okay?

But there is one thing you should know,

I have to get it before 11 o'clock tonight.

If you delay in delivery,

I won't pay you a penny.

Well, okay.

Let's go back, Haitang.

Mr. Meng, don't worry.

I'll do as you said.

I can surely make it.

Then, I'm looking forward to it.

See you.

Let's go.

Officer...

Officer,

please take whatever you want.

Please don't hurt me, officer.

Where did you get this box of goods?

Officer, what did you say?

Officer, you are a Tai-Jiong?

This is a good shop.

I'm working for Tai-Jiong.

Tai-Jiong.

Who owns this box of goods?

Where are you sending it?

Officer.

I'm just selling antiques.

I never asked about other things.

Really?

I...I'll tell you!

It suddenly occurs to me.

The buyer is also a Japanese.

He is a scholar.

His name is...

Okayama Shinichi.

He is a famous scholar.

He bought many tortoise shells from here.

I was just helping them to make deals.

It has nothing to do with me.

What about the seller?

I really don't know about the seller.

But,

he must be powerful.

He wears a black uniform.

You know that. He must be a high-ranking officer.

This one?

Someone asked me to make it look like an antique.

He'll fetch it tonight.

It's a big deal.

Tai-Jiong, I can share half of the money with you.

To be honest,

this is a good counterfeit.

It must have been made by a master.

But the smell is different.

Even if you basked the fresh tortoise shell,

its smell is still different from that of those from several thousand years ago.

You need to fumigate it with smoke.

After I do that, I'll sell it.

Then he'll pay me much money.

Tai-Jiong.

I'll give the money to you.

Please forgive me.

I shouldn't have lied to you.

According to my experience,

this should be the real one.

It's the real oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

Officer, you seem to be interested in it.

I have newspaper.

You can compare it with the one in the newspaper.

Here.

Please have a look.

[Oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding]

Do you have cinnabar?

Cinnabar?

That's expensive.

I don't have that.

I have, I have!

Naughty girl,

you like to climb high since you were little.

When you were four years old,

you fell from this tree,

and had such a big wound on your forehead.

You bled much blood.

Your mom was afraid there would be a scar,

she covered your forehead with the tea residue I drank.

She knew nothing about infection,

so I scolded her immediately.

Do you still remember that?

I did too many naughty things when I was little.

How could I remember them all?

You know that you were naughty when you were little?

Your mom loves this house most.

We've been living here for so many years.

She cleaned this house everyday.

When we decided to leave here a few days ago,

she couldn't fall asleep the whole night.

She cleaned everywhere in this house.

We can't live here without your mom.

Your mom is a good woman,

but she is a little narrow-minded.

It's not like that.

There are three people in her mind.

They are Haichen, you and me.

You're right.

We're all in her mind.

[Land and property ownership certificate]

Haitang.

If I pledge this house,

will your mom accept it?

Mom once said,

as long as our four people are together,

everywhere shall be our home.

Your mom is right.

As long as our four people are together,

everywhere shall be our home.

At that time,

I'll buy her another big house.

Mr. Meng, please.

You're finally here.

Boss Yu, take this.

This is?

Land ownership certificate?

Mr. Meng.

Here is the thing.

I can't get so much money in a short time.

This house is worth more than 3000 yuan.

I'll give it to you as the payment.

No, no.

Mr. Meng.

I can't take your house.

Take it back please.

Boss Yu.

This matter is important.

You can't regret.

Take it.

No, no.

Please listen to me carefully.

Please forgive me for not recognizing you and being disrespectful to you.

I didn't imagine your relation with the Japanese is so close.

What?

I don't have a close relation with the Japanese!

Okay, okay.

Please don't mind it.

Your stuff is finished. Here it is.

Give it to me.

It is finished?

Okay, good.

Take this.

No, no.

Please take it back.

Please leave here now.

Well, boss.

Why is there cinnabar on it?

Dad.

Well, Boss Yu,

how could you put cinnabar on it?

I only have one piece.

What should I do now?

It is important!

Sir, sir.

Mr. Meng, sir.

Please listen to me.

A powerful officer asked me to tell you,

everything will be fine by doing so.

Who is this powerful officer?

There is cinnabar on it.

Relax, everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Let's go.

You...

Just go.

Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng.

This.

Take this.

Take this back with you.

Okay, just leave here.

Sir.

Everything has been settled according to your arrangement.

The position of this shop is good.

I can see Zhengyangmen when I open the door.

I understand.

You own this shop now.

Just let me leave here.

Not now.

Coming.

Please come in.

Meng.

You called me here so late, is it because...

Haitang has fallen asleep. Keep quiet.

Okay, please take a seat.

Has Professor Kang left?

Yes, she left with Professor Zeng.

Before she left,

she gave me this.

She asked me to keep this carefully for Wenyue and gave it to her.

What's in this box?

Wenyue's manuscripts.

It's his painstaking work.

Dairong.

I want you to do me a favor.

Take it and wait for us at Dongzhimen tomorrow.

If we don't go to fetch it after noon,

just keep it,

and give it to Professor Kang when you meet her.

Okay.

Besides,

please take care of my daughter, Haitang.

Take her to Changsha with you.

Meng.

Don't worry.

Even if I die,

I'll keep your daughter and these manuscripts safe.

Thank you.

But,

what are you going to do tomorrow?

Tomorrow,

I'll surely save Wenyue from the Japanese.

How...

how will you save him?

I'm expecting,

Wenyue could say the first lie in his life tomorrow.

Maybe only by doing so,

can we escape this calamity.

Haitang, it's time to wake up.

I'm Uncle Chen.

Your dad asked me to take you to leave here.

Haitang?
