Original subtitles

My outlook has been broadened since I knew you

But I've never thought that we've been together for so short time only

I really feel sad

My lord

All right, please

It's my mean fortune that separates me from you

But I hope that you may serve well your new lord become famous

I'm but a man with little talent you charged me with so important a task

Unforunately I've to break our cooperation in the middle

My concern for my mother's safety is the real cause

Caocao may use all means and ways to coerce me

Yet I will never plan for him

After you've gone

I'm going only to hide myself in the hills or in the forests

All my plans have been upset by my mother

I'll be of no advantage to you nor can I do any good by rmaining here

You ought to seek some man of lofty wisdom to help in you great cause

It isn't the time for you to be so downcast

I feat that I could find none to help me better than you

How can I, an ignorant man deserve so high a praise

I hope you all officers will render his lord even better services

To write his name large in the country's annals

And have his fame flow in the pages of history

You'd never follow my example, I'm a man who has left his work half done

Your lord. I'll not trouble you to go further, look after yourself well

There'll be a farewell even if you see me offthousand Li away

Let us say farewell here

Xushu

Xushu

Attendants, cut down all the trees

Which hinder my sight of Xushu

Big brother

Can it be that You're going to stay

No

In the turmoil of my feelings I forgot to say one important thing

There's a man of wonderful skill

He's living in Longzhong about 20 li from city of Xiangyang

Why not go and invite him to help you

After you've gone I'm utterly disheartened

You're wrong here

I'll leave you without any worries

If you're really downcast

Xushu

What I said is from my heart

I'm fully aware of your kindness

But I feel disappointed at what you've said

When your great cause has not yet been realized

There's numerous wiser men than I

You ought to seek them to help you in the great cause

In this case

Can I bother you to ask him to visit me

He'll not condescend to visit you

You must go to him in person if he agrees

You'll be as fortunate as Zhou when they got the aid of Luwang

or Han when Zhangliang came to help

How does he compare with yourself?

With me

I'm as cart horse to a kylin (Chinese unicorn) an old crow to a phoenix

This man has sometimes compared himself with Guanzhong and Yueyi

He's the talent to know the Heaven and the earth

He's a man who overshadows many others in the world

I would know his name

He's from Yangdu of Langya

His name is Zhuge Liang alias Kongming

He lives in a house on a ridge of hills called Wolong Gang

He calls himself master Wolong (master sleeping dragon)

If you get his help, you'll feel no more anxiety about peace in empire

Are they "Wolong" and "Fengchu"

Fengchu (phonix fledging) is Pangtong of Xiangyang

Wolong is Zhuge Kongming

Aya! Now at last I know who the mysterious ones are

How I wish they were here

But if not for you, I should have still been like a blind man

Your lord

Goodbye

Goodbye

We'll be separated from each other far away

I wonder when we could meet again

Caocao was trying hard to make the able man turn from Liubei

So asto weaken Liu"s strength

He made a trick to lure Xushu to go over to Xuchang

Having recommended Zhuge Liang to Liubei

Xushu headed for Nanyang to tell Zhuge Liang about his recommendation

Liubei was preparing to visit Zhugeliang with Guan Yu and Zhangfei

As soon as he saw Xushu off

Mother

Mother

Forgive your son for coming late

You

My son,Mother

What have you come here for?

I am at Xinye in the service of Liubei

When I received your letter I came here immediately

Why should I have written to you?

That

It's not my handwriting

This is...

What a muddy thinker you are!

For years you've wandered hither and thither in the country

I've never thought you've failed to make any progress in your learning

You're a educated person And get a lot of knowledge

You must then know that loyalty filial pledge are often opposed

Don't you know Caocao who betrays his emperor insults the mighty one

Don't you see Liubei is virtuous upright as well known

What is more, he's a clansman of Han

When you were with him

You were serving a right master

Mother, your son...

Now on this scarp of forged writting no attempt at any inquiry

You've left the light for darkness you'll earn a disgraceful reputation

Truly you're stupid

Mother

My son

How can I look upon you?

You've brought disgrace to the fame of your forefathers

Now you're of no use in the world

Mother

Mother, I...

Brother

Having prepared gifts

We ought to leave for Wolong Gang to see Mster Zhuge Liang

Why should it trouble you to go there in person

If you don't quite trust me please let brother Guan go with me

No, not proper

I must go in person as master Zhuge Liang is the genius

Of talent rare in present world

Well, big brother

Brother Zhang I will accompany you to go there

Let Zhaoyun take care of the internal affairs

Your lord, a stranger of extraordinary apearance

Wearing a lofty headdress And a wide belt, wants to see you

Is it Master Zhuge Liang?

Open the main gate invite him in

Master Shuijing Water Mirror

Since leaving you, I've been engaged in military affairs

So I've failed to visit you Now that your arrival made me feel honored

please! Please

I hear that Xushu is here I've come especially to see him

Xushu has left for Xuchang

Anything went wrong?

Xushu hates Caocao most

Why should he go to Xuchang?

A messenger came with letter of his mother telling Caocao imprisoned her

Therefore he went to Xuchang

He's just fallen into Caocao's trap

Why

Take a seat, please

I've long known his mother to be a noble woman

Even if she were imprisoned she won't summon her son like that

Surely the litter was a forgery

If Xushu didn't go his mother would be safe

If he went, she would be a dead

But why

She's a woman of having principle

Has deep hatred for Caocao

And she is also a stubborn woman

She would be ashamed of the sight of her son under such conditions

She'll express her lofty spirit with her death

She kept her name up while still alive

Died a glorious death

What a muddy thinker Xushu is

What a muddy thinker Xushu is

After Xu's mother hanged herself

Caocao led both his military civil officials to go to condole sacrifice

Xushu buried mother on the south of capital, keeping vigil at her tomb

He firmly rejected all gifts from Caocao

Xushu was determined never to plan any plot for Caocao

In order to keep his promise to Liubei

Just as Xushu was leaving. He menteoned the name of Zhuge Liang

What do you think of him?

Xushu could go freely as he wanted to

But why did he want to provoke Zhuge Liang into coming out?

Why do you speak like that?

Zhuge Liang, Cui Zhouping Shi Guangyuan

Meng Gingwei and Xushu are close friends

These 4 men are of great And rate talents

Among them, Zhuge Liang is much more outstanding

He's joked to his companions

They'd become governors or prefects if they were in official life

When asked what was his ambition?

He would just smile

He sometimes compared himself with two great scholars Ghanzhong and Yueyi

No one could estimate his talents

Master Shuijing, though I am not Talent, I still know about Guanzhong

Yueyi were the two most famous men mentioned in the history of Spring

B, C) And Autumn Period (770 their achievements were known to all

Isn't it too much to say that Zhuge Liang could compare with these two

In my opinion he can not only be compared with these two

But rather with two others

Oh?Who are the other two?

One is Jiang Ziya, He helped Zhou Dynasty which lasted 800 years

The other is Zhang Zifang, he helped Han Dynasty glorous for 400 years

You've busy I don't want to trouble you any more, I'm taking my leave

To tell you frankly

My two brother I are going

Wolong Gang to seek Mster Zhuge Liang

Though Master Wolong is to find his lord, He's not born at the right time

What a pity

What a wise hermit

The firmament is like a canopy, O!

The land suggests a checkerboard

Among people there are good and evil, O!

For success and honor they are on the contend

The successful are content and complacent

While the failed ones are bustling about and busy

For aye there lives in Nanyang a hermit

Who is short of sleep and leads a life easy

The firmament is like a canopy, O!

The land suggests a checkerboard

This song expresses deep well about the present world and its people

Among people there are good and evil. O!

Who is the writer of this song?

For success and honor they are on the contend

The successful are content and complacent

While the failed ones are bustling about and busy

Can I ask who composed this beautiful song

We heard just now?

It was composed by Master Wolong

Where does he live?

Go south along this path and you'll see the ridge of Wolong Gang

In forest of bamboo it stands a modest thatched collage

That's where Master Zhuge Liang lives

Thank you very much

Thanks

What a wonderful place

Who's knocking at the door?

I'm Liubei general of the Han Dynasty,Marquis of Yichengting

Governor of Yuzhou and uncle of the emperor

I've come specially to visit the Master

I can't remember so many titles

Then simply say that Liubei has come to inquire after him

The Master left early this morning

Where has he gone?

His movements are very uncertain I don't know where he has gone

When will he return?

That's also uncertain, Perhaps in 3 or 5 days, perhaps in 10

Let's go back since he's not in

Wait a little while

Big brother

It would be better to return as the youth said that it's uncertain

When the Master would return

We could come again when we might send someone

To find out he had come back

Please, tell the Master about my coming

Here are some gifts for the Master

All right, but no gifts

The man appears to be Master Wolong

Aren't you Master Wolong?

I'm Cui Zhouping of Boling a friend of his

I've long known of you I'm very glad to meet you here

Could you kindly be seated just

Where we're and let me have your instructions

Why do you wish to see Master Zhuge Liang

The empire is in turmoil and troubles

I've come to seek your friend's advice

On how to restore order and run the country well

Oh, I see

Your words have deep and wide meanings

But I am a clansman of Han and must help it

You're kind enough to wish to arrest the present disorder

But since ancient times, restoration of order has always taken time

Men can't control it

You want to invite ZhugeLiang coming out to help you restore the empire

But I fear that the task is indeed difficult, It might be a vain attempt

You know well that he who goes with the will of Heaven travels easily

He who goes contrary meets difficulties

Man's fate goes its own way Man is unable to change its course

Dare I talk of the fate?

Your wish is quite understandable

A simple villager is not proper to discuss the empire's affairs

What I've said might be some wild ravings

I'm grateful for your instructions

But I don't know where Zhuge Liang has gone

I've also come to see him

In this case, I'd like to invite you to go to Xinye with us, won't you?

Thanks, but I'm too fond to leisure and ease and have no any ambitions

I'll see you some other time

We haven't found Zhuge Liang but met a bookworm

It is a waste time

His words are those of a deep thinker

A warrior's fame has not yet been achieved

Alas! For aye he hasn't met a sagacious lord

A warrior's fame has not yet been achieved

Alas! For aye he hasn't met a sagacious lord

Don't you see, the sage is given to wine, in a valley remote

Solitary, with whom can he talk about the statesmanship and statecraft?

It's cold and the earth is frozen hard, no fighting is possible now

Yet we have to go all this way to see a useless man

I fear that this freezing weather might hurt you

We'd better go back to Xinye

Freezing weather proves my sincerity

If you're afraid of could you may go back

Guan Yu and I will continue our journey

I fear no death, do you think I care for the cold

But I do care about wasting your energies

Listening, brother

Well, there's an inn over there

We may go in and have some wine to warm ouselves

People are talking about the history long past

The most outstanding characters are military officers

All my life I have the ambition to conquer the world

Now who deigns to mention the saga of the heroes?

What a beautiful song

It must be sung by Master Wolong

Younger brother have a cup of wine

Please come in

Good wine

May I know who is Master Wolong

Who are you? What have you to do with Wolong

I'm Liubei, I'm seeking his advice

On how to end the present turmoil And restore order

We're friends of his

I'm Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan He's Meng Gongwei of Ruan

We were very cold since waiting for Here, still haven't seen Zhuge Liang

Big brother, let's move on

I've long known of your reputation I'm indeed fortunate to meet you

I've horses here for you

Won't you come with us to Wolong's Retreat and talk for a while

We're ignorant folks, know nothing Of the sate affairs

don't take the trouble to ask us

mount again and go your way please

Go ahead, please

Sorry for disturbing you Have some drink please

These two man are too arrogant, you Still treated them with due respect

Big brother

You've trouble yourself too much

If we have no sages to help us with strategies depend only on fighting

We would be unable to end the Turmoil bring peace to the people

Shopkeeper, bring us some wine

Big brother

I can follow you risk any danger

But I just don't want you to have This kind of sufferings

I know two brothers well

But you know what is in my mind

How can we realize the pledge we made without sage help?

How can we make our own great career?

In terms of valor you two and Zhaoyun are no match in the empire

however we have suffered one defeat after another

And have not yet got a firm foothold

it is because we have no talented man to help, as master ShuiJing said

Well, say no more

Drink up this cup of wine and then continue our journey

Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang are you in?

Brother Zhang, you

Go on

You again

Is the Master in today?

Come in please He's reading in his room

The Phoenix fliex high, and only will perch on a wutong free

The scholar is hidden somewhere, till his lord appears he can patient be

He tills his fields, ah me! He is wellcontent and I love my home

I've long heard of you, but found it and his lute to leave and roam

Recently,master Shui Jing and Xushu impossible t pay my respects to you

I came to your dwelling, but spoke highly of you for times

Today I've braved the snow and storm kept with disappointment

Now I see your face and come again

And it is really my fortune
